“ She is my mate, Alpha Cassius!" Alpha Devlin folded his hands across his chest." Impossible! She is mine and only mine." Cassius turned her sharply and his lips landed on her hers. The kiss was rough and hard.Alpha Devlin pulled her away from the hands of Cassius. Cassidy was breathless. He had just claimed her in front of so many people." Cassidy is mine!" He growled.Cassius landed the first blow and Alpha Devlin landed the next. In no time, the two were rolling off each other.She watched as they hit each other hard. She moved to stop them but someone held her hand.“Are you crazy? Do you want to end your life now?” Amelia said, grabbing her hands tight.She turned to the crowd hoping that someone would pull them apart but the crowd watched them fight. No one was willing to pull them apart. She couldn't believe that it was happening. Suddenly, someone stood in between them.She could only see the side of his face but she knew that he bore so much resemblance with Cassius.Alph
She opened her eyes slowly. Her eyes were still heavy with sleep.She chuckled when she remembered how last night had gone. They had chatted into the night.He had told her about his childhood stories. His upbringing seemed fair to her. She wished that her parents were like his parents. But that would mean craving meat pies made from the cloud.The door opened and she turned to see the intruder. Of course, it was Amelia. None of the servants had the guts to come into her room. They avoided her like she was a plague. Honestly, she didn't mind. She was used to it already. It would be a lot of pressure if people suddenly changed their opinions of her.“I see that you are already awake.” She chuckled and sat upright.“You seem bright today. It seems like you slept well last night.” Amelia nodded and went to open her curtains.She thought about telling Amelia about him but decided against it.“Something like that.”“You should take your bath now. It's almost time for breakfast, your first
She thrashed about the bed until she woke up. It didn't stop the pain.“He was at it again”, she thought. Was it ever going to stop? But this time around, it was different. It felt like a distant familiar feeling. She hoped it was not. She held her stomach tight. She could feel the claws coming out.“This can't happen.” She concentrated hard on the patterns of the ceiling trying to fight it.She believed her uncle when he told her that it was over. She didn't know she was biting her lips until she tasted blood. The taste of her blood increased her hunger. She threw herself to the floor.'Wolfsbane!’ It was the only thing that was able to calm her each time.Where would she find it here and in a short period? She knew what would happen if she let it take over her completely. It was going to happen again and this time, her uncle was not here to make it stop. She had to work her salvation somehow by herself.She crawled to the door. Their scents filled her nose. It banged her walls beggi
She dreaded coming out for breakfast. What if it happens again? But she couldn't afford to miss breakfast.She stepped out of the bathroom wrapped in her towel. The fresh scent of the room filled my nostrils. She breathed in deeply and allowed the calming effect of the scent to calm her. There was no trace of wolfsbane.She smiled and muttered a thank you to Amelia. Amelia may be a human but she surely knew the effect the plant has on werewolves.She slipped into the dress Amelia placed on her bed. She didn't bother to look at her reflection in the mirror. She had no one to appreciate her so it was useless, she thought.Once again, she was the last to arrive at the dining table. Ophelia was seated beside Cassius again. She sighed. Another boring breakfast. She murmured good morning and was about to dish her food when Cassian took the dish spoon from my hand. What did I do now? She wondered.She turned to look at him. He had a smile on his face.“Let me.” She smiled at him and allowed
Her hands grabbed his shirt as she kissed him back fiercely. He stopped the kiss and smirked. “Always ready for me.” He turned to go while she stood there wondering what had just happened. He turned around when he noticed she wasn't following him.“Come with me. I will give you the grand tour.” He beckoned and she nodded.Her legs were still shaky from what had transpired between them a few minutes ago.She felt embarrassed when she saw Cassius at the end of the stairs dressed in his blue shirt and black trousers. He stared at her inquisitively.“I will take her on the tour. You shouldn't feel obligated to do these types of things.”“I am not obligated to. I just want to know her better. It isn't a crime is it?” Cassius shrugged. His eyes still on hers.“She is my mate not yours.” Cassian said, using his hand to comb his hair. It was obvious that he was frustrated.“You should treat her like she is then. She doesn't deserve your nonchalant attitude.” Cassian’s eyes flared up.It hap
The silence was killing but she couldn’t dare to utter a word. She wondered if she was on a tour or not. Of course, with him, the ruthless Lycan King, it was bound to be different. She didn’t know when she dozed off.She opened her eyes to see someone staring at her. How long had she been sleeping? Most importantly, how long had he been staring at her? Did she snore? Did she sleep ugly? Was he irritated by her sleeping form? All these questions filled her head. She shook her head. She shouldn’t think about him. She shouldn’t care about what he thought about her.She cleared her throat and looked forward. He relaxed into the seat.“You should have woken me up.” She said when she noticed that the car had stopped moving. They must have arrived at their destination. She couldn’t believe that she had slept all the way.“That is what I have been trying to do for the past one hour. You sleep like a log of wood.” He scoffed and she swallowed. She had never been a heavy sleeper. Why would she
She held her stomach tight as though it would stop it from growling. He shook his head and walked out of the mall. At first, she thought he was walking down to the cashier to make payment but he casually walked past the lady. Maybe, this was one of the many properties he owned, she thought. She noticed the staff arranging the clothes in the booth of the car. He walked into the already opened door. She knew better and followed around.“Uhm…are we done with the tour? Can we go now?” she asked, sounding as polite as she could.“No.” he simply said and went back to his phone. Her stomach grumbled again. She just stared out of the window of the car unable to admire the beauty of the pack.The car stopped again and she looked around. Why did they stop? It had not been up to ten minutes since they got into the car. He stepped out of the car and she followed suit. They had stopped in front of a restaurant. A smile broke out from her lips. He acted as though he didn’t care but he actually lis
She stared at the artwork that was hanging on the wall. She admired the mastery of the artist. She wished she had that talent but she was very talentless. “Tell me about you,” he spoke out out of the blue.“Huh?”“You heard me the first time.” She wondered what he wanted to know about her life that he didn’t know already.She was sure he had done his investigation before pulling the stunt he pulled on their wedding day. No one could have known that if they didn't have an insider. She gulped. Someone in her father's house was working for him all this while. She shook her head, of what use was the knowledge after all these while?“I don’t have anything to say.” She hoped he wouldn't push it but she knew he would. That was who he was.“Everyone has a story and I bet yours was exhausting but we could use it to pass the time.” She resisted the urge to roll her eyes. Maybe they should start with him, she wanted to say but couldn’t instead, she cleared her throat and sat upright.“I am Cas
