ANNELISE POV“And… that’s a wrap for the day.”I exhaled, leaning against the mop handle as I took in the gleaming floors. My back ached, my fingers were raw from scrubbing, and my eyelids felt like they were made of cement.I was exhausted… But I still had to repeat this routine for God knows how long.The café in the morning. The cleaning job at night. And tomorrow? The same thing all over again.I let out a slow breath, rolling my sore shoulders. Just a little longer. Mom needed me to keep this job, her highest-paying client shouldn’t know she was too sick to show up.Rich people replace everything.I couldn’t let her down. Not when she’d already lost so much.Food. Rent. Medicine. Everything depended on me now.I took a deep breath and started parking the cleaning materials into the storeroom.“Perfect job, dear.” A feminine voice startled me once I came out of the storeroom, I quickly took a bow.“Thank you, Ma.” I replied respectfully, she was a middle aged lady probably my moth

ALPHA CASSIUS POVA human mate? The moon goddess did me wrong with that, humans were too dumb for my liking… too slow, but here I was, mated to one.She was my mate and she didn’t even know that, she was mine to own and I was never letting her go.The way she smells, her hair, her eyes… Her body? I never thought I would ever find a human attractive, she was different, so fragile that I already knew that she would require a lot of protection.The moment I set my eyes on her last night, my body burned for her, I have never felt that before, a strange spark so strong that I struggled with composure.She smells of vanilla mixed with rich caramel, it was her natural scent. Her body looked so intoxicating that all I could think of was how she would feel wrapped around my arms.She had this effortless soft femininity that I have never seen in any woman I have been with.In less than twenty four hours she had taken control of my thoughts and emotions, she had so much power over me, and she di

CASSIUS VALE POV“What’s going on here?“ I asked as she flinched.I hate when she reacts to me like that.She was out of her room and I didn’t like that, I only wanted her out when I’m with her, Ravenwood pack wasn’t safe for her, the werewolves would easily sense that she’s human and might harm her.The safest place for her was her room and with me.“I… I only wanted to move around, I have been inside for too long.” She mumbled with her head lowered.“Come with me…” I said, stretching my hand to her, she hesitated taking it for a second before she carefully placed her hand on mine, and I led her to the elevator.Was she really about to follow the stairway of a six floors building?I scoffed a laugh at the thought of that.The elevator door slid close and I clicked the button to the first floor, the ride was a bit quiet and awkward.My eyes drifted to her hand to see her fiddling with it, she does that when she’s anxious or nervous.“Are you okay, Sweetness?” I asked as soft as I coul

CASSIUS VALE POV“If you really want me to get comfortable with you, flaring up when I tell you what I honestly feel won’t help.” Her calm feminine voice said, I could already feel her presence before hearing her speak.Of course I knew that she wouldn’t love me, her first sight of me was in my very monstrous state so I would be delusional to think that she would end up loving me.But hearing her admit it was a bee sting to my soul, it hurt me in ways that I hate to admit.“But I don’t love you enough to be with you forever…”The sound of that reverberated in my ears as my hands tightened on the balcony railings, my veins sprouting out so thick like it was about to burst out my skin. I was so agitated that I could feel my wolf fighting to be released, and if I let it, Annelise wouldn’t be handled softly.My eyes were burning in rage, I could feel my claws trying to sprout out. I couldn’t let Annelise see that side of me again.“You have a tattoo on your back, can I see?” She asked, wa
