Chapter 30

*APRIL’S POV* I would be a fool to believe Cassius. How could I trust a man who said one thing and did another? Yet I was powerless. The only thing I could do was try not to anger him while also making sure I did not lose him to his so-called best friend. Persephone Adelard. Oh, what a beauty she was. From the moment I first saw her, wrapped in the embrace of my mate, I hated her. She was a woman with both looks and status, things I did not have. She was born with these things meanwhile I had to struggle for everything I had. How could she have everything yet still cling to the only thing that should be mine? She had so much so why could I not have Cassius? I hated her. I hated her so much I wanted to destroy her beautiful face and make it into something no one would ever be willing to look at ever again. How would I bring down such a woman? ‘Without Persephone Adelard, I have nothing. I am nobody.’ I bit my lips when I remembered Cassius’ words, clear as day. He regarded

*ALPHA RANDAL’S POV* Persephone Adelard. She was a beauty. A beauty that made my heart itch every time I saw her. I came all the way here today because I knew she was going to attend. Jennifer was the most annoying woman in the world so I avoided her as much as I could but today, I would endure her presence to see Persephone. I wondered if I could create a connection with Persephone today. She was a beauty but she was as hard to approach as she was beautiful. I wanted to get to know her but I knew that without her having any interest in me, I would never get that chance. “Miss Persephone, how could you do such a thing!?” I was lost in thought when I suddenly heard Jennifer’s loud and obnoxious voice. “Miss April did nothing wrong to you but how can you call her a filthy omega!” It was the perfect way to draw attention. Everyone stopped what they had been doing and turned to Jennifer who had a quivering omega by her side. “Oh, no, Miss Persephone was only telling me to know my plac

Chapter 32

Chapter 32I had accomplished my mission with the Slaters but I still bit my lips, feeling things could have gone better. Things went the way I planned because of Jennifer.I knew Jennifer Slater would not take a liking to me. In the past life, despite how minimal our interactions were, she did not like me. She made it her mission to try to isolate me. She was the forerunner in April’s support group but rather than being a friend of April, she was only using April to get to me.In a world with Persephone Adelard, Jennifer Slater’s position was threatened.Jennifer was an attention-seeking woman. She thrived off being the social flower, the Beta that was flawless in everyone’s eyes. She had a good family and was beautiful. Her presence was always sensational but when I was around, I took attention off of her.From the very minute I came into the scene, my presence annoyed her so I was not surprised at her reaction. It was to be expected and unfortunately for her, I was coming for ever

Chapter 33

It was rare for me to get flustered but his words threw me off guard. My lips pulled up in a smile and I wanted to laugh but I could not laugh. He was not joking. His eyes bore into mine with a resolute expression that made it clear he was serious. The Luna Queen? I could not stop myself from bursting into laughter. The absurdity of the idea made me laugh until my belly hurt. I clutched my stomach as I bent over, laughing until tears streamed down my face. “Is it such an amusing idea?” Koa asked. I raised my head in time to see his face contort with a weird expression and it only fueled my laughter. I laughed loud and long. I laughed until I had no breath in me and I was merely gasping for air. It took several minutes to get me to calm down and when I did, I wanted to laugh some more. “I never thought of myself as a joker.” Koa gazed at me with a stoic expression. “It must have been your hidden talent. Thank you for making me laugh so hard.” It had been a while since I laughed so

Chapter 34

“Who – who did this to you!” He yelled while managing to still sound choked. “Your wrists – what – who the hell did this?” “Let go!” I tried to shake his hand off me but his grip was unrelenting. “Cassius, let go of me!” “No – I – why are these ugly scars on your hands? Where did they come from?” I did not like how shaken he looked as he held my hands without letting go. “Persephone, who – where did they come from!?” He shouted. The way his face contorted made my heart squeeze and then begin to pound. He looked like he had witnessed the world’s worst horror. Tears even filled his eyes and I could hear his heart pounding louder than mine. Why this reaction? “Cass, it’s no big deal.” I made my tone softer. “It’s just a scar I got when I fell into the rose bushes in the past,” I repeated Doctor Lorenzo’s diagnosis. “Does it make sense for these scars to come from a simple fall?” He held my hands tighter. “These are deep wounds that could not heal on time. It has nothing to do

Chapter 35

“Welcome, Alpha Raven, Miss Adelard,” the Beta sent to receive us greeted us as we walked into the building. “The meeting will take place over here.” He guided us down a corridor to a large round table room filled with Alphas.After working hard for weeks on end, the time had come to launch Cassius’ business into the limelight. Today, we would be meeting with the Slaters and a few other Alphas who had shown interest in the business. At times like this, it was thrilling knowing what was to come. For the next two months, Cassius would enjoy basking in the spotlight. In the past, Alpha Koa seemed to be testing out his political strength when he went for the Slaters. It was when he failed to finish them off that his family combined with the Slaters tried to drive him into a corner but only succeeded in killing his people and pushing him off the edge. The Slaters would be hit soon and as they tried to recover, they would not think twice about devouring all those that relied on them.

Chapter 36

CASSIUS’ POVI had a dream. It had become a recurring dream since I saw the horrible scars on Persephone’s wrists. In that dream, she was begging me. Her voice reached me from a vast darkness and every time, all I heard were her sobs without seeing her. ‘Cass, no, please, no!’ She continued to cry out my name in a desperate and mournful tone. Every time, I tried to help her, to find her and pull her out of the darkness but the darkness was thick. It was thick and I could not see anything through it. No matter how much she cried, I did not help her until her voice faded away. As usual, I woke up in a pool of my sweat. My back was stuck to the bedsheet from how much sweat was pouring from my body. My limbs were stiff with fear and it took a few minutes for me to realize I was awake now. ‘This dream again,’ my wolf muttered, his tone thick. ‘I don’t understand. Every time I hear that voice, it feels like I know what is happening but still, I am in the dark. What is happening, Ca

Chapter 37

Would it not be funny if April got pregnant? In my previous life, despite Cassius spending every night with her, including the night of our engagement and mating, there was never any talk of her being pregnant. Of course, that somehow became my fault. Apparently, I had done some evil, heinous act and cursed her to never bear fruit out of jealousy. Those words had hurt me but now, I could only think of them and laugh. “You’re in a good mood,” Hannah said as she cleaned my nails. “What do you think of April, Hannah?” I asked and the girl gritted her teeth as her face contorted. One would think I had asked her what she thought of a filthy rogue. “She’s nothing but a shameless woman!” Hannah declared. “All she does is hang around the Alpha and even though he has said several times that he isn’t interested in her, she still carries herself as if she is the Luna. There are even people in the mansion that defer to her because they think she’ll somehow become the Luna.” She scoffed. I

“Perse, the Alpha wants to see you.” Sylvia came to summon me when Cassius arrived. Without wasting time, I left what I was doing and went to see him. The moment I pushed his door open, I knew to expect good news. He had stars in his eyes and a spring in his steps as he rushed to embrace me. “I take it things went well?” I caught myself smiling as he hugged me with all his might. Cassius was not very open with his emotions. I was the one constantly harassing him into hugs and trying to get as close to him as possible but as he held me then, with my hands bound to my sides, I knew that things may have gone better than expected. He left earlier in the day to see the Alpha King and although he did not mention it, his face had been fraught with anxiety. Now that he was all hugs and smiles, I knew he had impressed the Alpha King and managed to get a second invite out of him. It was as I expected. He was smart enough to capture the King’s interest. “More than well, in fact,” he sa

Chapter 39

‘Calm down, he cannot achieve that,’ Ana said to me when I continued to hyperventilate hours after my conversation with Cassius. ‘Did the goddess create the position of the Alpha King for nothing?’ She continued. ‘And does it make any sense for him to help Randal become the Alpha King and then ask to secede? What kind of fool would grant such a favour?’ Yes, no matter how foolish a king may be, he would know better than to leave packs to become independent. If he granted one the right to secede, many more would follow and war would break out. Even a child would know better than to let such a thing happen. So why did I feel uneasy? I knew that Randal would never become the Alpha King. That position was Koa’s by right and he would take it by force. Cassius was merely wasting his time but still, his ambitions surprised me. How could he think of making Blood Crescent pack stand independent of the Deimos kingdom that the goddess herself had established? I knew his pride and I knew
