JAYDEN“You better be looking for her!”“Please pardon our negligence, Alpha Jayden.”I threw everything in front of me.I don't know how many hundreds of things were broken, and I still couldn't find Cassie.I really didn't expect her to leave again.After the punishment I gave her, I thought she would wise and realize her actions. But I underestimated Cassie too much. She's the most stubborn person I've ever met. She also had such an innocent face that it fooled me.I felt sorry for her every time I saw her, so I didn't even know I was being fooled.I thought that after our conversation at the hotel that time, our relationship had improved, but it hadn't. I lost her just as things were getting better. I just lost her after everything seemed fine."Alpha Jayden, I don't think Luna Cassandra is still in the Pack Nexus because if she was, we would've been able to find her. But we still can't find her despite searching all over."I threw my sharp gaze at Hagen. "Where do you think Cassa
ALEXEI“Do you want to continue searching today?”“Tomorrow, you guys need to rest after these two days of searching non-stop.”“Good, Alpha Alexei.”My henchman as well as the Beta of Pack Arcanum, Ben, delivered my answer to the rest of the troops.The troops were divided into groups that searched the forests, borders, and residential areas. And I was currently in the forest, searching for any caves that Cassandra might have used.Unfortunately, the search in the forest and residential area was unsuccessful, there was no sign of Cassandra.The only hope left was at the border.We have all become victims of Cassandra's tricks. It turns out she teamed up with Noah to escape and now the two of them have no sign of returning here. She even fired stun bullets at us which proved that she had planned this escape well in advance, not a spur of the moment decision.Noah convinced me as if he supported my plan, but he stabbed me in the back. I had a gift for him that I would give him when we
CASSIEI counted down from 10. Shortly, Isabela's personal assistant would come to deliver the food like he did yesterday.So I left nothing to chance, when he opened the door, I immediately pulled him inside."Tell Isabela that she needs to see Alexei as soon as possible. She can't wait long. I have a bad feeling if she delays."Ben placed my tray of food on the nightstand and then he swatted away my hand that was pointed at his neck with my hairpin. "Sorry, but we don't like violence here. If you want to talk, then do it nicely, no need to threaten like this."I did it to intimidate him and he told Isabela, there was no other intention."I won't hurt you if you do as I said. This is for the good of everyone. Before the war happens."“I'm sorry but I'm not your man, Luna Cassandra.”I grabbed his shirt collar. “You've been acting disrespectful from the start and I was going to forgive you because you're Isabela's personal assistant-”“Queen Isabela.”“But you're getting more and more
CASSIEIt turned out that the special clothing was a cloak worn by witches. Where Isabela said, the cloak can protect all wearers, like a shield, because it has been given a spell. And the special weapon she was referring to was a bottle filled with thick black liquid which had also been given a spell which could be used to splash anyone who wanted to do harm. Where the liquid will turn into a thundercloud and attack whoever we call by name. I think that's the coolest thing I've ever seen. And those witches are used to things like that. “Are you okay?” Isabela asked. She kept a close eye on me during the trip because she was afraid something would happen to me and my baby. “Nothing bad,” I replied. We were still on the ship and would soon reach Pack Arcanum. In the end we decided to keep going together. Isabela left the royal business to those in charge and she told Ben to handle everything. Although there was an argument, Ben reluctantly let us go. He told us to come back safe
JAYDENI prepared to deflect the spear Alpha Alexei had launched. But a wolf suddenly jumped up and blocked my view. It wasn't one of my troops, it.... came from the other direction. And what was surprising is that the moment it was in the air, an enormous shining transparent shield appeared. The shield shattered the spear into ashes that scattered in the air. It happened in the blink of an eye like a flash of lightning. After that incident, I immediately ran to the edge of the cliff, looking down. Was I hallucinating? I saw Cassie! She was lying on the ground unconscious down there. I mean, wasn't she in Arcanum? Why am I seeing her here now?"Alpha Jayden, that is indeed Luna Cassandra," Hagen said. In that instant I jumped off the cliff and landed next to her. I hold her. It's true, I'm not hallucinating! Cassie was indeed in front of me."Cassie!" I immediately placed her head on my lap while patting her cheek lightly. "Wake up Cassie." I was still trying to wake her up
CASSIEAs soon as Jayden announced the end of the war and withdrew his troops, Alexei did the same. I'm sure Alexei also watched me block his spear earlier. This will be over soon, shortly. My sacrifice had not been in vain. “You made the right decision, Jayden.”Jayden, he looked at me as if he knew what I had just said. “Please don't disappear again, Luna. Because Alpha Jayden could be a worse monster than this,” Hagen said. Actually it was none of my business, it was his business to be able to control his emotions. But since this time I just wanted peace, then I just silently responded to Hagen. “We'll meet at my castle to negotiate,” Alexei said. I guessed right, Alexei would want to make things clear, not just have a war and be done with it. He definitely wanted to make a deal and I had to go along because I didn't want them to get into a fight again. “Come with Cassandra, no need to bring your whole army.”I tried talking to Jayden, telling him that I agreed to this con
CASSIEFinally the whirlwind was gone, and I could see all around me including Jayden. He walked towards me as if nothing had happened. “Be careful.”“You don't think something just happened?”“What kind of something? I've been watching you standing and looking somewhere.”Oh my gosh, that means Isabela had just worked her magic. She was creating illusions that looked like reality. And those swirls of wind were not real. I just found out that she actually holds a great power, it's really amazing. That's why she also didn't seem worried if Jayden saw her, because it was just an illusion. I don't know how she did it. “No, I'm just.... joking.”Jayden raised one eyebrow. “You know, you're acting weird right now, Cassie.”“Yes, I know, because I want this matter to be resolved soon. Maybe after this, I can think more clearly.”“Alright, but if anything happens, let me know right away. I mean, talk through our minds, do you understand?”I wanted to tell him that I didn't need to go to t
CASSIE “What are the guarantees you'll give me if you break your promise?”I immediately tapped Jayden's hand under the table. But Alexei apparently spoke first. “Your child, my grandchild, I will separate you both if you don't keep your word.”“She's not even born yet,’ I argued. “You don't have to separate us because I will keep my word. I never break my word, Alpha Alexei,” Jayden finally said. “Well, the guarantee is your child. If you only convinced me this time only to be denied, then get ready to separate from your child. I will take my granddaughter with me because I do not want her to be raised by parents who are not loyal and consistent. Do you understand?”Right now there is no better option than to agree. After all, I had planned to hold this until our child was born. To be honest, I don't know if Jayden was being honest with what he said earlier. It could be that he said he loved me because he was cornered. But.... if he was lying, why didn't Alexei contradict him?
CASSIE"Are you still mad at me, honey?"I just sighed. Since we argued about Paula, I haven't asked him anything. I purposely gave him silence treatment so he could introspect.It's true that he did introspect, but he also bothered me. He kept asking me questions that made my ears burn. "Do you want to eat something? Do you want something sweet? I'll buy you whatever you want. Just say it.""I'm just asking you to stop talking because I want to kick you out of here."Jayden mimicked the gesture of closing the zipper on his mouth but he didn't want to move away from me. "To pay for my mistake, how about I take you to a secret place that only you will know about?""What kind of secret place? I don't want you to make surprises and waste your money in the end.""You'll find out where I've been getting my money from. This is the first time I'm taking someone else there because I don't intend to tell anyone except my wife and my daughter. And you are my wife so you have the right to know
PAULADamn, Jayden really loves that lowly woman! How could he downgrade his tastes from a model like me to a slut he picked up at a nightclub? I'm not letting Jayden love her, he should love me. If that woman hadn't come to Pack Nexus, I would've been married to Jayden by now and I would've had a child with him. I'd be lying if I didn't love Jayden at first, I loved him, I just didn't want him to control me when he knew how I felt, so I pretended to be cold and ignorant. But I just realized that I can't continue like that if I want to get Jayden, I have to change, I have to fight for him. Even if he has a wife or kids, I can get rid of them to be with Jayden. I can definitely give Jayden a child too, not just that woman. To hell with the curse, it should be gone by now.When the news of Jayden getting married to that bitch spread, I didn't even get an invitation. Their wedding seemed rushed and like it wasn't a real marriage, aka made up. At least Jayden had to pick a woman as b
CASSIELuckily Noah was already gone when Jayden approached his car. Right now I'm not thinking about whether Jayden will smell Noah or not because I don't have much time to clean up the smell so let him ask if he wants to know. "Honey, how about we eat--" Jayden looks down at my shirt which I didn't realize had blood stains on it. "Are you hurt? Who hurt you? Did you get it treated?"God this is a disaster. Whose blood this is I don't know either. I didn't realize there was blood on my shirt at all. Between Noah and Oscar, it must belong to one of them. "I'm fine, I'm not hurt.""Then why is there blood? I also smell Noah's scent. Did he come here? Did he hurt you?"Jayden can't take this the wrong way, he has to know that Noah saved me. "Something bad happened earlier. Oscar came up to me and cornered me. Noah came and he helped me, but Oscar had a knife. But I don't know who got hurt between them.""Oh shit!" Jayden immediately took a wet tissue and wiped the blood stain on my
CASSIEI was relieved when Jayden believed me instead of asking if what I said was true or not. He had also met Paula last night right when he got home from work. Jayden said he'd gotten over Paula, so he asked me not to worry. And today he said he was going to see Oscar. I asked to accompany him but he refused. He said he wants to solve this problem alone with Oscar. The problem is I'm worried if it ends up in a fight. Moreover, Jayden is very easily provoked so I call him short fuse. I'll try to follow Jayden secretly, so I can step in if they start getting provoked by each other's words. Since Jayden said he will do it after office hour, that means there's still a few hours left since it's only lunchtime. I plan to eat on the rooftop because I want to get some fresh air. On this sunny day everything should be fine but because of Paula and Oscar, I can't even eat in peace. Honestly, I've been trying to avoid trouble but it's as if trouble is closing in on me. What kind of li
JAYDENUsually when I returned to the car, Cassie was reading or eating a snack. But this time she seemed worried, wringing her hands and not noticing when I got into the car.She's been acting a bit strange lately and I guess it's because she misses her father. Indeed, when she was there she seemed to relax, but when she came back it turned out that her temperament returned as well.“Hey baby, sorry for taking so long.” I kissed her forehead briefly and then put my things down.“I saw Oscar,” she said."Did you? He's an employee so he must be around a lot. So it's quite normal, baby."“He was with Paula.”This time I paused, trying to digest the information."They're talking about us, wanting to separate us. Oscar, he was sent by Paula. He was paid to spy on us, to be a barrier between us."I looked into her eyes to make sure that she wasn't under the influence of any drugs. Cassie's eyes were sparkling as usual and there was no way she was taking any drugs while she was pregnant. So
CASSIEThe miraculous thing I never thought of was that my fever was cured when I was in Pack Arcanum. As if to confirm that Jayden's opinion was correct that I had a fever because I missed my hometown.So today I can work again. I'm ready to solve the unfinished business in this company.It seems to be quite quiet this morning. Maybe it's because I came a bit early.When the elevator door was about to close, someone suddenly prevented it with her foot. I was a bit startled but after seeing that it was Sherly, I was somewhat relieved."Welcome back, doc. Are you feeling well?"I answered Sherly's question with a smile, “yes, I'm very healthy now.”“Sorry I prevented the elevator from closing.”“No problem, take it easy.”I could see from the reflection of the elevator wall that Sherly looked nervous. Actually, I wanted to ignore that too but her feet couldn't stay still, moving and tapping on the elevator floor.“Is there something you want to say, Sherly?”She immediately looked stra
CASSIE[So when are you coming here, Cassandra?]I bit my lip, unsure of how to answer Alexei.Alexei called me the next day because I hadn't given him an answer about when we would be visiting.[Are you still there, girl?]"Yes, I'm here. It's just.... I'm sorry, Jayden and I can't go there for now. We're still pretty busy and don't know when we'll have free time."[Is it because Jayden forbade you?]“No, how could he forbid me? He wouldn't be able to fight my stubbornness.”I could hear Alexei laughing from the other side. [Then is he the one who didn't want to come here to see me?]I can't be honest with him. There could be a second war. "He'll go if I go. But since the company is having some important events, his time is currently focused on it."[In meaning that he's ignoring you? You must feel lonely. You can come here by yourself and I'll teach her a lesson for letting you be lonely.]"That's not true.... father. He's not ignoring me and I'm not lonely either. The reason I said
CASSIE“Let's get to the car.” I pulled Jayden after closing the clinic door."Hey, what's up baby? Why are you in such a hurry? Is there something happening?"I couldn't tell him now, not while we were still out in the open space because the person I was going to talk to might hear. That's why I chose not to answer Jayden and just led him to the car."You don't want to talk in the open space? Okay, now say it, we're already in the car."I took a deep breath and locked the car.“It's something about Oscar.”"What's up with that guy again? He's bothering you? Tell me, if he was, then I'd take action against him."“It's more like he eavesdropped on our conversation yesterday, the first day I worked here.”“I don't understand what you're saying, baby.”"Okay, this might sound upsetting but please believe me. So, when you were looking for me when you came back from your office, you still remember that I said I was on the emergency stairs and was checking the stairs right?"“Yes, I still r
CASSIE“Sorry doc, Alpha Jayden is in a meeting so he's not in the room.” That was Sherly's response when I communicated that I wanted to meet with Jayden.“Thanks for the information, I'll be right back.”“Alpha Jayden was discussing your proposal yesterday and it was received enthusiastically by the team.”I stopped my steps. Honestly, I was so happy. So I turned around and approached Sherly again. “You also contributed to this, thank you Sherly, you have a good heart.”"It's my job doc. I really admire you for caring for others. You have a genuine heart," she replied.I didn't expect them to be this supportive. Hopefully, it was because they wanted to help others and not because the idea came from me, as Jayden's wife.“Can you tell him to meet me when he's done with the meeting?”“Sure doc, I'll make it happen.”“Thanks.”I wanted to tell Jayden about the message I got from Alexei. I was also a bit surprised to get a message from him after such a long time had passed. Luckily it w
