Semua Bab The Omega He Rejected, The White Wolf He Craves: Bab 1 - Bab 7

Cassia Durant's POV"Rylan, we've been mates for three years now. You've never touched me... I gave you and your first love my blessing. I'll accept your rejection... after tonight, you can go to her. Just this once, let me have something to hold on to. Please..."I leaned in and kissed him, desperate, drawn to him like a moth to a flame.I knew what I'd done-drugging Rylan Thorne, forcing my mate, going against Moon Goddess's will. It was wrong.But I'd loved him for too long. I loved him too deeply.All I wanted now was a shred of comfort. One night to remember."Cassia, don't you dare!" Rylan glared at me, fury blazing in his cold, sharp-featured face. "I'm not afraid of anything."A tear slipped from the corner of my eye as my kisses grew frantic. My hands fumbled across his body.I just wanted him. Just once. Completely.Rylan burned with rage.He tried to push me away. He was an Alpha-he should've had the strength. But his flushed skin told me otherwise. The aphrodisiac was work

Cassia's POVSix years later.Yorkmere, Wolfsbane Research Group.I had just stepped out of the lab when my assistant, Linda, caught up to me. "Dr. Durant, Mr. Nolan needs to see you. He asked you to stop by his office."I'd worked through the night, analyzing Wolfsbane's toxicity. Exhaustion weighed heavily ce. But at her words, I jolted awake, alert. "Did he say what it's about? Don't tell me... the twins wrecked another project?""I'm afraid they did." Linda gave me a look of sympathy.When I'd given birth to my boys, the delivery had been difficult and dangerous. I'd been hanging on by a thread when my wolf finally awakened -saving both me and my sons.Ever since then, my wolf had been deeply bonded to the twins. Even across the entire facility, I could sense Lucian and Killian's nervous anticipation after getting into trouble.After leaving Shadow Pack, I had thrown myself into the Wolfsbane project overseas.I came from a long line of wolf healers. I'd grown up surrounded by the

Cassia's POVI didn't dare look back. I moved fast, weaving through the airport crowd, needing to get as far away from that dangerous man as possible.The whole way out, my heart raced in my chest. Instinctively, I sharpened my senses, scenting the air for any trace of that familiar Alpha aura.Thankfully, we made it past the airport doors without picking up that threatening scent. I finally let out a long breath of relief."Cassia! Lucian! Killian!"I glanced up to see Mira Crowe waving from across the street, dressed in her usual crisp attire. A faint herbal fragrance drifted from her- the signature scent of a wolf healer's bloodline."Mira, it's been too long!" Relief washed over me the moment I saw her.Mira had been my closest friend back when I worked in Mr. Nolan's lab. Like me, she came from a long line of wolf healers, and now she was back home working at her family's hospital.She crossed the street quickly and pulled me into a warm hug. "I've been waiting forever for you gu

Rylan's POVI stalked back into the villa, voice low and sharp. "Has Seren come home?"Inside me, my wolf, Loren, paced hard, claws scoring the fragile barriers of my mind, fighting to break free.I kept my voice low, but my wolf was pacing, one breath away from breaking loose.The butler rushed forward, nervous."No, Alpha. There's been no sign of her."I frowned.We'd searched everywhere.Where else could my little girl have gone?Could something have actually happened?The thought alone sent a fresh surge of fury through me-dark and violent, the kind that made my blood run hot with the need to destroy.That's when I heard Ivy rushing in from outside. "Rylan!" she called, her voice laced with panic.Her perfume hung heavy in the air, but it couldn't mask the faint edge of nervous sweat beneath it.Since Cassia left, I'd convinced myself I could accept Ivy-a woman who matched me in every way that mattered. Status. Looks. Power. Temperament.Ivy had made her intentions clear. More tha
