LUNA CELINA’S POVAnger filled me as I looked at Cassandra. She didn’t even look like she was disturbed about the fact that her own mate rejected her. How could that boy reject her?“Who is he?” I tried not let my anger show in my voice, but it was hard. Vincenzo was also trying not to let his emotions take the best of him. “He’s the Alpha son,” Cassandra answered with a small smile and then shrugged. “It’s not like anyone would want to accept a mate that was weak and had no wolf, not to mention an Alpha,” she said with a small laugh.I knew that laugh, it meant she was mocking herself. My wolf growled my head, it wanted to let her know that she wasn’t weak.“Do you ever wish to find your real parents?” I heard Vincenzo say. I was focused on stopping my claws from elongating. Being a lycan meant having a greater deal of self-control can other wolves.“I don’t know. I don’t know if they’re still alive or if they live far away. Or maybe, they don’t want me,” I could hear the hurt behin

CASSIE’S POV“Thank you so much for everything,” I said to Gerald and Mrs. Smith. They were standing in front of their house with a smile on their faces. “You don’t need to thank us, dear. We’re more than happy that we found you,” Mrs. Smith said with a smile. “She’s not lying,” Gerald added and I giggled.“I’ll miss you guys,” I said as I hugged them. “Me too, sweetheart,” Mrs. Smith said with a chuckle. “Don’t forget to bring some fresh lasagna when you visit,” Gerald said and I laughed as we pulled away. Then we turned to see a sleek black Mercedes drove into the driveway. It parked in front of us and the alpha stepped out of the car.Sorry, I meant my dad.Excitement bubbled up inside me as he approached us. “Good morning, Alpha,” Gerald and Mrs. Smith greeted while I grinned like a cat. He mirrored the same grinned towards me and my heart leaped.“Are you ready?” he asked me. I nodded. He collected my small bag from me and went to place it in the back seat. “Be a good girl,” Ge

CASSIE’S POVWhen I say my mom is talented, I really do mean it. I looked at my hair in awe and my jaw didn’t waste time in dropping. “How do you even do it?” I asked her in shock as I touched my hair. She styled it in a beautiful French Queen braid and decorated the top with little pearls. I looked so beautiful with it.“My mom taught me,” she said as she smoothened the skirt of my dress when I stood up. “Then you have to teach me,” I said to her as I went to slip on my shoes. “That will I do,” she giggled. There was a knock on the door which drew our attention. “Come in,” my mom said. The door opened and my dad walked in. he was dressed in a pair of dark blue slacks and a white dress shirt was tucked in. Even though he looked handsome and intimidating, he looked as if he’d rather tuck out the shirt. “My two ladies are looking beautiful and eatable,” dad joked making us laugh at him. I liked his cockiness. “Aren’t you meant to be waiting for the family?” Mom asked him. He rolled hi

CASSIE’S POVMy whole body burned badly as I tried to move. My bones were aching and I found it hard to breathe. I was on the hospital bed in a private room in the pack’s hospital.“Cassandra calm down, baby,” I heard my mom say but I was in too much pain to care. I needed to focus on enduring the pain. Was that even possible? How in the world am I supposed to endure this kind of painful pain?“Has she found her mate?” I heard Mrs. Smith ask mom. I didn’t even open my eyes to look at them because I wasn’t actually interested. I pained hiss left my mouth when there was another crack in my body. “It’s too much!” I cried out when I left a pop in my neck. “Sweet,” I heard my dad call and I groaned.“She’s heating up too much. Almost like over heating,” Mrs. Smith panicked when she approached me. “She’s shifting,” mom said. “But it shouldn’t be this painful. We should give her sedatives,” dad said as he looked at me with worry. Mrs. Smith shook her head, “Sedatives will only make it worse

CASSIE’S POV“HAPPY BIRTHDAY!”My soul nearly left my body as I jolted awake to see people in my room. Mom, dad, Mrs. Smith, Gerald, Aurora and Damian were gathered around my bed with big smiles on their face.“Happy birthday to you,Happy birthday to you,Happy birthday to you, Cassie!Happy birthday to you!”They sang as mom approached me with a chocolate cake in her hand. There were candles that spelt ‘twenty one’ on the cake and I was told to blow it out.I did just that and they exclaimed with happiness.“Thank you very much!” I said as I got out of bed.“I’ll take it to the kitchen and cut it while you get ready,” mom said and walked out of the room. Dad, Mrs. Smith and Gerald followed after leaving my two friends here.“Happy birthday, Cassie!” Aurora exclaimed as she pulled me in a bone crushing hug. For a girl, Aurora had quite the strength of a bear.“She’s going to die if you keep suffocating her like that,” Damian commented as he shook his head with a smile. “Thank you,” I
