Two weeks later... "Get up, now!" Alpha Damien yells at Cassie, as she slumps to the ground and breathes heavily. With all the strength left in her, she helps herself up to her feet with her sword. Life hasn't been fair to her for the past two weeks. She was shocked when Damien asked Zoey to teach her the basics of swordsmanship, only for him to take over the training one week later. He hasn't gone easy on her, and this has made her strong, although it's kind of hard to keep up with.She has been wondering why he suddenly wanted her to learn this, but who is she to question him?After training for a few more minutes, she finally return to her room with little or no energy left in her. Alpha Damien already drained all her energy, and all thanks to him, she's about to collapse now. She crashes on her bed as soon as she steps into her room. Zoey is not inside the room, maybe she must've gone out to stroll or something. She manages to have her bath before she finally sleeps off... The

Chapter 33Cassie Robert"Who's there?" I ask as I stretch my neck forth to check around. I bet someone is around here, but I have no idea where the person is. "What are you doing with him?" The voice sounds somewhat familiar, and I squint my eyes, trying to recall where I must've heard the voice from before. I'm sure I've heard that voice before but I have forgotten where I have heard it from. Still trying to recall, he suddenly pops out from behind the tree in front of me, and I flinch. It's the person I saw in the garden some time ago. The one that had tattoos on his arm and chest. Gosh! I have forgotten his name. "Oh, it's you?" "Milo..." He calls, and the cat meow at him. What! Does he know the cat? "Do you by chance...""Yes. That's milo, my cat. Did it trouble you?" He asks with a questioning look on his face, and I quickly shake my head. "Not at all. I saw it wandering in the garden, and I felt it'll be thirsty, so I gave it some water. I thought it got lost, so I was goi

Chapter 35"No! This can't be! Me? In love with alpha Damien? Oh! I'm losing my mind," Cassie whines frustratingly, running her fingers through her hair. It was almost evening, and she came to the garden with Milo to get fresh air. Zoey's words have been replaying in her head, and she has been trying to wrap her head around everything, but it's driving her crazy. As much as she wants to convince herself that she's not in love with him, seeing the truth staring back at her, she can't deny it. His image flashes through her mind, and she finds her heart beating rapidly, causing her to clutch it tightly as if preventing it from popping out of her chest. "Oh no! This is not happening," She shrieks for the umpteenth time, hitting her chest slightly. "Milo, what's happening?" She looks to her side and asks the little cat that is busy drinking from the drops of water that fills a large portion of a leaf. "Meow... Meow..." Milo cries out again, and she sighs deeply realizing that the innoc

Chapter 37At the priest's chamber..."To what do I owe this sudden visit, my lord?" The priest asks as he stares at Damien sitting across from him. "I'm running out of patience, Raul. Why is this taking so long? Are you doing anything about it at all?" Alpha Damien asks with anger resounding in his voice. His head is already getting messed at the thought of her, his heart is getting hurt realizing that he's having this feeling toward her, and he's mad at himself that he can't even control himself. Yes, he's seeing the red flags, he knows what this feeling is, but maybe he's trying to pretend that it's not what it really is. He thought that he would be able to get rid of it if he tries to change his thinking, but it seems like with every second that ticks, the feeling has become stronger. He can't let this continue, letting himself fall in love with the daughter of a traitor has never been what he dreamt of, this only happens in movies and book series, and to think that it's happenin

Chapter 39"What are you doing here?" Hearing that familiar icy voice, she stops abruptly on her track and takes a deep breath, trying not to appear nervous. Turning around, she almost jumps out of her skin at the sight that welcomes her. There is Astrid, glaring hard at her. "I asked a question, what are you doing here? Are you here to steal something?" Astrid questions her again, and she scoffs unbelievably as she tilts her head around as if she's searching for something. "I asked a question, what are you searching for?" Astrid sounds pissed. "I'm looking around to be sure that there's someone else you're talking to, and not me. Steal something? That's ridiculous. I don't look like a thief, do I?" She scoffs as she crosses her arms on her chest. How come she's suddenly bold and talks back at her in that manner, is what even she has no idea of. "Your father didn't look like a traitor and he still killed the late alpha," Astrid smirks at her, and she gasps as she slowly clenches h
