The days went by and Jace had only improved slightly. He didn't need that much help moving around now. In the mornings, Cassandra would do what she could then Michelle would take over while she went to school. After school, she'd come straight home to Jace simultaneously continuing working on the wedding dress for Abigail while taking care of Jace. It took her a while, but she was finally used to it. And now that she'd made the wedding dress and all six bridesmaids' dresses and flower girl dresses, she could relax a little. It was the weekend and Cassandra was asleep on the couch downstairs. Jace had kept her up all night long with his needs. Could she complain? Yes, she was drained but... the things we do for love aye? A buzzing sound woke her up and she lifted her head in confusion. Her eyes were still closed. The buzzing ceased after a few seconds and she dropped back into the couch. She started to drift slowly back to sleep when the buzzing noise came back again; even fiercer t

(Cassie's POV) The hall was beautifully decorated. It felt like stepping right into a fairytale. We had Natán step in to be MC and it was just what the reception needed. I stood in the corner wondering how Jace was doing without me. Sure he was okay. I mean he could get up, walk, take a shower, and even get mad at Chris for breathing the same air I did. But he still needed rest to fully recover. “Cassandra” Abigail whispered over to me. I turned. “Why are we whispering?” I asked.“I'm hungry” she pouted. I chuckled. “You know you're not supposed to eat until later right?” I asked. “I know that. But can't you just sneak me one of your Abuela's special arepa? It smells so good. And it's not right to starve a pregnant woman.”I looked towards the food section. “How can you smell it all the way from here?” I chuckled. “Hormones. Now get me that arepa, please?” she pleaded pushing me towards the food bar. I chuckled and got her more than just one arepa. She thanked me as she stu

(Cassie's POV) I stood on the balcony and sucked in a deep breath. “Cassie” Summer called out coming into our room. I turned around and she grinned. “We need you downstairs and I definitely want to borrow that dress,” she said. I smiled. Summer was the fashionista in the whole family and Ruby was definitely taking after her. I was in a white polka-dotted lavender top with a pair of black jeans and yellow flats. I nodded and followed her downstairs.“Where's everyone?” I asked, glancing around the foyer. “In the kitchen” Summer answered and tugged me there. It looked like a vegetable farm had exploded in there. The entire kitchen was filled with nothing but greens. “Are we having some sort of vegetable party?” I scoffed. “Sweetheart, do you mind passing me the basket?” Michelle asked. She looked like she was trying hard not to panic. I grabbed the vegetable basket and handed it to her. “I'm going to get a drink,” I said and walked over to the fridge. I pulled it open and

(Cassie's POV) I repeatedly hit the punching bag. “Harder Cassandra! Harder!” Calvin barked at me. I rolled my eyes. Did he know how hard it was for me? It had been three months and I was still training. “Imagine Alpha Jace was in trouble and you were fighting the enemies to save him!”I chuckled.“Technically, it's supposed to be the opposite... since that's not how the stories usually go. My mate is supposed to protect me and do the saving, not the other way around. I mean I didn't ask to be the damsel in distress but that's how you've all painted it so—” “Just shut up and punch the bag harder!” he barked even louder. I kept my mouth shut. “Imagine that bag you're punching was Yolanda” Summer panted, punching hers too. A new sense of fury filled me up and I punched the bag even harder than before. Summer grinned. “Yes! That's more like it, Cassandra! Keep at it!” Calvin yelled with satisfaction. A short while later, we heard the whistle. We could finally stop. “Alright, g

Cassandra came down the stairs holding hands with the Graham twins. “So you promise to let us play dress up with you when you get back?” Ruby asked. “Yes I promise, Ru” Cassandra answered. “And we'll go get ice cream and then you'll play unicorn princess tea party with me?” Rose added. “Of course my littlest flower...” Cassandra grinned, softly pinching Rose's cheek, “and my precious jewel” she added and equally pinched Ruby's cheek softly. “And may I know where you're going?” Jace asked, cutting in front of his girlfriend as she stepped on the landing. “My parents'” Cassandra answered with a chuckle, letting go of the girls so they could go do whatever nine-year-olds did. “Your parents'” Jace echoed. “Yeah,” she smiled, gingerly kissing his cheek and hoping that the frown on his face would disappear. It didn't. “Well, why didn't you bother to tell me earlier?” Jace asked. “I'm telling you now, aren't I, Jace Graham?” “Well, you should have given me at least a two days noti
