Novel & Cerita Cassidy Afton

my father trailed off, "Wait a damn minute, what are you doing at my front door?" Liam turned his brown, unreadable eyes at me, threw his arm over my shoulder and hurled me into his side, "You're going to have to ask my lovely wife." I narrowed my eyes at him in suspicion, but before I could ask him what he was playing at, my father let out a gasp. "Cassie? Tell me this is a dream and you're not actually married to the best hockey player of the twenty first century." Dad said, looking like he was going to pass out any moment from now.

“Alright, let’s go.” As we headed toward the city, I couldn’t help but notice each of our outfits in more detail. Cassidy, ever the lively one, wore a bright yellow dress that flowed around her knees, paired with a short white leather jacket and ankle boots. Her hair was tied up in a high ponytail, with a few stray curls framing her face, and she wore a dainty silver necklace with a small heart charm that bounced with every step.

“Next, you will see Cassie walking around. As most of you know, Cassie has been imprisoned for 19 years and is getting her strength back. She is also Luna Penny’s birth mother. Zac is her biological father and was set to join the warriors but has been stationed else where for the time being. Please welcome them and come to us for any concerns.” A few people turned and looked at Cassie. A little blush crept up on her cheeks but she smiled and waved. Ms. Lucy put a hand on her shoulder and smiled at her. My face stayed passive. Colt sat down and it was my turn.

I understood their apprehension, despite my disappointment. Though my physical scars had healed, the emotional wounds remained. I struggled with nightmares and insomnia whenever my sister was not nearby. Everything changed when I met Cassie. She is an extraordinary woman—a stranger, a single mother, and a friend of my sister’s. Yet, I felt an immediate and profound connection with her, as though we had known each other forever. Cassie became my anchor, offering safety, peace of mind, and perhaps even happiness. She was the one who finally helped me find the peace I had been desperately seeking.

"I know, but Damon…" My mother had suddenly appeared at the door, attracted by the brewing noise; her eyes had grown wide as she spotted Damon and Cassandra half-naked. "What is the meaning of this, Damon? Annie, why are you sobbing?" Cassandra seized the opportunity. She pointed at the pizza I mistakenly spilled on the floor. "Look, Mrs. Scarlett! Your ‘precious’ daughter tried to sneak in and attack Damon! She's trying to get obsessed with him! She doesn't want to accept that the Alpha already chose me. Your daughter keeps doing crazy things even when I'm the true Luna. I have been waiting for this poor thing of yours to leave him for me!"

I found Kael sitting at the breakfast table, and beside him sat Cassidy. Cassidy. She was the daughter of a Beta family close to the Dravens, and also happened to be Kael’s newest bed partner during this time. She loved calling herself his girlfriend. I recalled her face with a fresh wave of bitterness. Of course she would still be here in the mornings, just as she always had been when we were this age; nothing had changed for them in this life. Cassidy’s sparkling hazel eyes snapped up to meet mine the moment I stepped into the room. Her lips twisted into that familiar sneer that I knew all too well.

Vanilla was one of my favourite scents and I could not help but interrupt her turning to try and find the owner of that scent. My mystery guy had moved from the stairs so I could not see him anymore. Without putting too much more attention on him I really wanted to find the owner of the pine vanilla scent. The more I smelled it, the more I knew it had to be my mate. As I moved through the crowd the scent got stronger. I gasped as the mystery guy was walking in a direct line toward me with a smile on his face. As he got closer, the pine vanilla smell got stronger. Shelby quickly started yipping Mate! Mate! My excitement started to grow. He came to stand right in front of me smiling and

“You won’t hurt me or you will lose your daughter and my son. Be a good girl Sadie and just come with me?” “Them? Who the fuck is them?” I snapped. Oh my god, is there more out there like Sadie? Does my father have these people? What in the actual fuck was going on? My head started to spin. All of a sudden was pinned against the wall. Sadie turned and looked at me. Then this young girl came walking into the room and went to stand next to my father. Her eyes never leaving mine. “I’d like for you to meet cadence. Cadence is like you Sadie. Only I think she is stronger than you. Say hello, Cadence.”

“I can’t afford to feel anything for her.” “You already do.” I met her eyes in the reflection. “It doesn’t matter what I feel Sage. She’s rogue. I’m heir. The pack would tear itself apart if...” A sharp knock interrupted. I opened the door. Cassidy stood there. Tactical vest still on. Face drawn. Eyes red-rimmed from lack of sleep and too much coffee. “Details,” she said without preamble. “Anything. Height. Build. Voice. Accent. Scars. Tattoos. Anything you remember from the attackers.”

She imagined Cassidy as a brunette – there was no particular reason, other than the fact that Aster and Katelynn both had dark hair, and she just figured that was what Declan liked. A far uglier emotion started to rear its head. Aster imagined herself walking up to Cassidy, a big smile on her face, asking the human girl, “Who gave you permission to touch my husband?” But before the she could answer, Aster grabbed her head, twisted and ripped it off, the human’s blood pumping from her neck like a geyser.
