CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE "Cassie," I call in a whisper as I hold her cold, pale face in my hands. Her body has gone totally white and numb and I swear right now, there is this heavy feeling in my heart that's weighing me down. This is the end of me. This is the absolute end of me. How can she die? What happened? Without warning, the tears that had accumulated in my eyes start streaming down and I cry hard like a baby. I should never have treated her poorly. I should never have rejected her. What have I done to myself? "Cassie please, don't do this to me." I cry over her dead body. "Elijah" I hear a soft voice call and I abruptly raise up my head and I'm shocked to see Cassie awake. He white and pale face looks normal right now and even her lips that had turned b

CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE ELIJAH'S POV The meeting I held with my Beta and Gamma was a powerful one. We made plans on how to go about the investigation and I'm certain that sooner or later, the culprit will be caught and punished accordingly. I spent the night at the hospital with Cassie and I don't need to tell you that when I went back home this morning, Ella and I had a big fight about the issue.  What baffles me more, is the fact that right now, I care less about the fact that we are not on good terms. Right now, the only person I'm thinking about is Cassie. I made sure to assign over ten guards to stay around her ward and I have instructed them to not let anyone other than my mother and I into the ward. As of n

CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE CASSIE'S POV A violent wave of disappointment washes through me when I open my eyes and don't see Elijah sleeping by my side. He must've left last night when I fell asleep. I really looked forward to waking up in his arms again. If I tell you that I understand a single that has been going on these past days, then I'm lying big time. Right now, there a lot of things that haven't settled on my mind and I'm as confused as fuck! First, I don't understand why anyone would try to poison me, let alone, a servant girl. They all seemed to be very nice to me and I can't believe one of them would plot behind my back to have me killed. What kind of

CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN   Bullying.   The pack issue I had to deal with yesterday had to do with bullying.   It appears there was this little she-wolf who got bullied by her peers very often and it seems her elder brother gave her some advice and she actually heeded to it. She had the two girls who always bullied her well beaten yesterday in one of the dressing rooms and so I was called.   When I listened to the story, I pretended to be mad at her before the others so I wouldn't sound bias, but I later on congratulated her for standing up for herself.   However, I gave them all a warning never to bully anyone again, else they will be punished and they promised not to do so again.   After that, I deliberately had dinner at my Beta's house inorder to avoid the awkward scenario that was waiting for me at home.   Right now, my mother exp

CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE "Who is it?" My mother voice inquired from her bedroom after I knock. I lean closer to the door and close my eyes. "It's Elijah" "Elijah" she asks in wonder and in less than no time, the door opens up and immediately I see my mum, I wrap my arms around her neck, engulfing her in a big hug. "Son, what's wrong?" Mum asks worried as she leads me into the bedroom. "I'm in a tight situation mum, I don't know what to do… I mean, I know what to do, but the thought of doing it is killing me big time. Mum I'm confused." "Will you at least tell me what is going on? What's making you confused?" She ask concerned as we both sit on her bed. "Well, the elders called a meeting today" "They did?"  "Yeah' "What was it about?" "The coronation
