CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE CASSIE'S POV "Elijah, let me down!" I scream for the umpteenth time today, but Elijah doesn't listen to me. He has been carrying me ever since we got here and I have never ever felt so embarrassed in my life. To think that there are servants working in the garden and they kept stealing glances at us. My poor face is red and hot from blushing too much. "I've told you I don't want you stressing around, right?" "Walking does mean I'm stressing myself out. Come on. I'm begging, put me down" I beg yet again and this time around,he listens. He puts me to sit on one of the built chairs in the garden. "My God! You are so stubborn!" "My stubbornness is nothing compared to your sassy nature, Cassie. Yours is the absolute worst!" "Oh yeah?" "I'm telling you!" "I refuse to have this argumen

CHAPTER THIRTY-THREEELIJAH'S POV I totally messed up yesterday. I messed up so bad that I had to send my mum to go talk with Cassie. Thank God she came back with good news. She told me Cassie was elated to hear that I wasn't going to choose Ella over her. I can never do that! Cassie is my mate and Luna. I cannot live without her. I cannot rule without her. Our souls are bound together and we need each other every day of our lives. The last thing I can do is choose to marry another girl over her

CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVE CASSIE'S POV I hop over to Luna Elvira's chambers in excitement. I can't believe this is finally happening! Alpha Elijah asked me to marry him. He told me he loved me and that he cannot do without me. Only the Moon goddess knows how much I kept blushing throughout our date. Yeah, he did take me somewhere nice and I had a great time. I asked about my pack and he told me right now, I'm free to go there anytime I wish and that once we get married, he is going to unite our packs and rule both as one. I don't have a problem with that. He also told me he will discuss with Ella tonight and tell her about his decision and I kind of feel bad for her right now, but on second thought, I don't feel bad because she had to see this coming. She got engaged to an Alpha who

CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN CASSIE'S POV Layla keeps whimpering in pain as we flee across the woods, headed for my pack. He lied to us. He deceived us. He cheated us. He said he was going to marry me, that he felt nothing for Ella, but just that same night, he went and slept with her. Who does that? I'm never going to forgive him for betraying my trust in such a brutal manner. I hate him! Layla arrives at a little stream that separates my pack from Elijah's and without any hesitation, she skips over it and as she lands on the soil of my pack, I feel the connection with my pack come back alive. The familiar smell of my pack members and the minklink.  I can mindlink anyone I want right now, something I couldn't do when I was at Elijah's pa

CHAPTER THIRTY-NINE ELLA'S POV I had a feeling this wasn't a great idea. I had a feeling this plan of mine would backfire, but I refused to listen to my instincts. Now look where my stubbornness has landed me.  Alpha Elijah hates me and in less than no time, he is going to send me packing from his castle. The shame, the humiliation, the mockery! I won't be able to bear all that from my mates.  Also, I love him very much And I really don't want to leave him for Cassie.
