Cassy looked away, unable to meet her father's gaze, but she knew he was crying as much as she was. And she couldn't bear it.

Lino's hand slid out of hers and he slipped out of the room quietly, giving her privacy with her parents, now that he knew she was alright.

Her father pulled her into his warm embrace. "I am so sorry, Cassy," he said, patting her hair down softly.

Cassy sobbed, wrapping her arms around her father's torso. It had been a while. A long long time since she had been held by her father. She had forgotten what his scent was. Wood, smoke and musk.

She breathed in deeply, letting all of the pain go as his warmth seeped into her, reminding her of what it had been like before Lino. The life she had lived. Though they had not been rich, though they had been ordinary Omegas, they had been happy and content.

But she was happy she met Lino. That part of her life had always felt like it had something missing. She had found it and she would protect it.

    The hybrid set out the next day with a horse and a change of clothes. The Luna had pushed a bag of food and fruits into his hands, regardless of how much he had declined her request to take it. She was quite strong willed and adamant, and he had spied her mate watching with pride as she won in their mini squabble on taking the food. He had never quite met anyone like her...or the Alpha. Too nice, he would think, but wolves were generally warm and trusting. The Head Alpha and Head Luna were no different. Heading to their lands, he had expected hostility from the Alpha and possibly an arrow to his head, but they gad merely been wary for a couple of minutes, and the Luna had been curious, prodding him and trying to get him to speak in the most annoying way possible. It reminded him of a certain someone he had promised never to think about. A certain someone who had taken off at the first chance she got, selfish to the very end. He should never have let her out. He should nev

    It was the first time he had stood against her on a topic. It had been the first time he had been able to tell her no. It surprised her and she grew wary of him, refusing to tell him things anymore. She began prying into his life, convinced that something was wrong with him and he had only found out too late what his punishment for defying her was. Julian shook his head, riding on while following the tracks and the dark trails he could find of sorcerers. They had a distinct smell and aura. One that werewolves rarely knew about. It made it easy for him to track them, since he already knew what he was looking for, but not for the wolves, since they did not know what exact scent they were looking for. He was not looking forward to seeing them again. He could only hope the Goddess would help him keep his anger in check. He could not just walk into the camp to garner the needed information. He would need to become something he was not. If only for a few days. It wo

    With each step forward, she flaunted her hips before him, swaying and seducing him. He swallowed again and he could not take his eyes off her. Her lips curved into a sensual smile. "You have come back to me, dear July?" He hated her. He hated that name she had called him in the confines of her chambers while he had pleasured her. "Do not call me that." The words were off his lips before he could even think of the them. He expected her brows to furrow and then a frown to tug her lips down, the way it always happened whenever she was mad, but instead, Sasha grinned. "There he is," she cooed, stretching a long nail toward him. He tried not to flinch as it traced a lone down his cheek, cutting in deep to draw blood. Her gaze remained on his as she lifted her hand to her mouth and licked the blood off it slowly. "I find it hard to believe you, Julian. Not when I can smell wolves on you. You have been mingling with the enemy, dining with them," she made a dramat

    "The weather is great, is it not?" Lino asked, breath tickling Cassy neck, and Cassy smiled broadly. She had accepted to go on the date with him. Too many things had transpired in the last few days and she needed some air out of the castle. It was therapeutic in a strange way and she did not feel that much heaviness anymore. She was on good terms with her parents again, but there was still a distance between them that she was not quite sure would get fixed so quickly. She saw them everyday, ensured they were alright and well fed. They checked in on her too, but the warmth that came from family was not as great as it used to be. Perhaps with time, it would get better. They had yet to hear back from Julian, and though they trusted in his abilities, they still slowly prepared for a fail in the plans. She had rallied against Lino when he had said they had to prepare a backup plan immediately the hybrid left, but he had explained that it was a normal occurren

    Lino shoved Cassy behind him, taking a stance in front of her as he snarled at the men before them. They peeled away from the shadows with ease and grace and Cassy wondered for how long they had been there, laying in wait. "Cassy," Lino said underneath his breath, low enough that only she could hear him speak. "Run." Cassy pulled back on the sleeve of his shirt. "Run? There is no way in hell that I'll leave you here with them!" Lino's hand pressed her back, away from the men. "Now is not the time to argue with me, Cassy. There are ten of them. I cannot fight with them if you are here. They will go after you to try to make me bend and while I'll fight till I die for you, I do not think it is wise to even let it get to that point." "They are going to come after me anyway," Cassy said, heartbeat spiking as she noticed the men drawing nearer. They were all looking at her. She knew they had come for her again, and Lino would be safe if she wasn't here. It wa

    The men caught up with Cassy and Lino in a little while. They were surrounded and it came down to fighting or getting taken. There was no turning back now. Or running for Cassy. She would stay with Lino and fight it out. Leaving no time for them to try communicate with each other, they attacked. It was not a fair fight. Lino held well against them, but they were nine men who were rather difficult to kill. Seven were left with two down. With each swipe against the enemy, the sound of bones breaking filled the air, and Lino stood in front of Cassy, shielding her from the enemy's attack, as they had to be in direct line of sight before the hold of their magic could be strong enough to wreck through them. He shoved her repeatedly behind him and each time, she felt pain through the mating bond. It hurt like hell, but Lino did not stop moving. He did not let her see his pain or feel it. He held her in place behind him, ensuring that she was safe, and when they tried

    Cassy fell forward as a burning sensation filled her up. She writhed, lunging for him. She was yanked back by the male holding on to the rope around her like it was some leash. Growling, she jutted forward, pulling the rope out of the male's grasp. The male grunted, going after her but Cassy did not care that she looked like a ragged animal. She didn't care that she was ripping her skin by pulling back on the ropes. She didn't care that someone was pulling her hair from behind, trying to take her away from him. Her world, her life was reduced to Lino's form that was writhing in pain. Against the pull of three men, she reached her mate's side and leaned over him. A tear dropped on his cheek and her lips trembled as she watched him breath hard, holding his hand to the gash to prevent blood loss. "It'll heal," Cassy cried, nodding amidst sobs. "It'll heal, Lino." He coughed slightly...and Cassy's breath hitched when she saw the blood on his lips. "Won't," he gritt

    Julian had blood on his arms, his clothes. It clung to him like second skin. Not that any of it mattered. All he could see were those eyes pleading with him to end their lives. The prisoners had not cried or begged him for mercy as he'd killed them. They had shown gratitude that their was coming to an end. He tried... tried so hard to pacify himself with the fact that he hadn't killed them like Sasha wanted him to. He had done it swiftly, so that they felt no pain. But their eyes had been added to the set that would forever haunt his dreams. "Welcome back," Sasha smiled, taking her sword from him, and though he felt sick, he forced a smile onto his lips. Bile rose to his throat but he kept it down. He would not vomit. It would ruin everything. This was who he had become for Sasha those years ago. Her killing machine, and he had done it that too gladly. Falling back in that place should not be so hard. But it was. He felt himself dying inside.

    Eleanor dashed through the woods, panting and cursing under her breath. It wasn't supposed to go this way, she thought. She was sure she had not been followed. But now, the guards were after her, hot on her tail and she could not seem to outrun them. Her parents would be disgust if they saw her now. What had become of her. Cassy and Lino would probably laugh their heads off if they saw her. She was a thief. She had been living from and to mouth for years, taking shelter in empty barns or cottages, stealing food from moving carriages or from travellers. She had walked and moved and tried to make something of herself for the past few years, but all anyone wanted from her was to bed her or turn her into a whore, and while she knew she was a despicable person, there were things she could not allow. From the ears of one of the travellers, she had heard of a castle in the North, with plenty or riches that were untouched by the Alpha who seemed to have no intere

    Two years later... "No. Not that one. Do not put that in your mouth, Fenris," Cassy said, lifting her son off the ground and throwing the sand stained pebble he had been about to put in his mouth. "Where is your brother?" She questioned, and he smiled at her, pulling her hair instead and giggling. "Asher?" She called out, looking around the playground Lino had built just for his twin sons. She heard Asher's answering giggle emerge from the other end, and a smile graced her lips when she saw Lino holding him and tickling him. He loved them. There was no surprise there. Over the last two years, she had gotten to see sides to Lino that she had never thought she would again, after she'd lost their first child. He was kind, loving and stern when he needed to be. Maybe scratch the last part out. When it came to the boys, there was not a single stern bone in Lino's body. All they had to do was smile at him and he would lift them up and tickle them. Cassy

    Cassy and Lino sat on the edge of the bed, hands clasped tightly together, awaiting Gerald as he gathered he shrugged out of his gloves. She began to fidget and Lino rubbed her knee to soothe her, even if he was also fidgeting. Cassy felt her stomach twist and tighten with nerves as she thought about it. She pressed her free hand against her stomach, trying to feel for something, anything at all that said that it was there. She hadn't felt funny in the past few days. Other than the need to sleep. Her last pregnancy had been somewhat hectic and she had been a horrible mess before she even found out she was pregnant. She supposed it should be the same. The nausea. The morning sickness. The cranky mood. The obtuse emotions. It was the only reason why she didn't think she was. That too and the fact that she looked absolutely normal. She hadn't gained extra weight or anything. She'd lost some. She stole a glance at Lino. His expression was calm but she could tell from

    Cassy peered around, in the familiar darkness and she immediately knew where she was. It had been a while since she had been summoned by Selene and she had quite a lot of words to say to the wolf when she graced her with her presence. "Selene?" Cassy called out, turning in a spin, searching for the familiar figure, but she couldn't find the wolf. "I see all is finally in order," a voice that sounded both ancient and young said, and Cassy turned to find the big wolf approaching her. "Yes. No thanks to you. You left me with nothing but scattered clues here and there. I didn't understand a single thing." "But you have come out victorious," the wolf said drily. Cassy scowled. "Again, with no thanks to you. Julian's the only reason why we won. You picked me up and then abandoned me--" "And who do you think sent the sorcerer your way?" Cassy's lips pursed and she kept quiet, listening to Selene and her 'explanation'. "The Goddess's interfere

    Lino sat in his throne, head leaning against his fist. The day had only just begun and he was already exhausted. He always hated the aftermaths of squabbles and war. Deaths and meetings and hard decisions had to be taken. It didn't make it any better that Cassy was not with him today. His mate had slept the entire day away yesterday and she was today as well. He understood that she needed the rest, especially after the ordeals they had gone through. It was absolutely normal for females to fall into deep sleep after a weight like war had been lifted off their shoulders. He had been telling himself that the entire day, just so he could get his mind off the possibility of Cassy being pregnant. He was excited and extremely anxious as well. He had known the joy of expecting a child once before, but this was different. Perhaps, it was because she was his mate and he was in love now. He couldn't stop fidgeting and thinking about it. Truth be told, he wanted nothing m

    Julian strode over to where Sasha laid on the ground, head severed from her body. He had not thought it would be so easy to end her life. He had not wanted it to be easy. He had wanted her to suffer for it. Every day. For everything she had done to him. For every atrocity she had committed. For all the wrong she had caused him. He had wanted her to suffer. But he had killed her too quickly. And...saved the day. His unusual eyes overlooked the battle field and what little of the sorcerers that were left and we're still being killed. His eyes wandered over to the Luna and Alpha seated off to the side, holding each other and crying. His eyes then wandered back to Sasha's unseeing eyes. He let it truly sink in that she was dead and gone. Slowly, it sank in, like a stone would in the middle of an ocean. It settled within him. Standing in the middle of a battle field with his armour coated in blood and his fingers wrapped around the sheath of his sword, J

    Cassy panted, peering down at the blade and the minute distance it was away from her heart. No no. The woman was not bluffing. The back of her head hurt terribly, no thanks to Sasha's blow, and the tiniest movement had her wincing in pain. It was nothing though, compared to the obvious panic in Lino's eyes. A burden in her chest lightened a little. He was fine. He was covered in blood and gore, but he was fine. Taller, hairier and scary. He was in between this wolf form and the other. His red hair made him look all the more stunning. She gave him a sharp look that all but said, "You should not have left me inside." Lino ignored her, baring his teeth instead at Sasha. "Touch her, I'll end you." The woman had the audacity to chuckle and Cassy marvelled at her boldness and lack of fear. "Before you move, she'd already be dead. You're at my mercy, Alpha," Sasha said, piercing Cassy's skin with the dagger for effect. Not the other way around. I suggest you w

    "Think we might make it back?" Lino asked asked Kayden as he jammed the rock into the sharp edge of the sword. Kayden shrugged, staring up at the sky. "I have no choice. Ayla will throttle me out of the afterlife if I do not." Lino smiled. He could think of a couple of things Cassy would also do to him for leaving without her. He had better make it back home. He had no other option. Night had fallen and they had chosen to make camp. It was more like...laying in wait and resting while the enemies rode toward them. Lino wasn't the type of Alpha to move things in a rush. He would wait for her. Sasha. And by the spies he had dispatched a few moments back, he knew that they weren't far off any more. And leading them his way was the hybrid, Julian. Whether or not he would fight on their side when it mattered, Lino couldn't tell, but he had seen the hybrid and looked in his eye. He had seen the hatred for Sasha and even if he trusted nothing else, he trusted in those

    Cassy placed outside the yard, trailing the line of defense the guards had formed, laying in wait for their enemies. Just in case. She had no doubt that it was Lino's instruction too. The man always thought and prepared ahead for the worst case scenario. There were more than a hundred scattered about in various defense formations and Cassy marvelled on how they blocked every entrance into the castle. But... wasn't a hundred too many to guide the amount of women inside? Perhaps it was because of her or it could be the fact that they were the weaker and more vulnerable sex. A sudden shout came from the front, by the towering gates of the castle and Cassy believed it to be, "Close the gates!" The shouts increased and Cassy ran up to the gates where the guards were frantically trying to lock them. There were still people trying to get through. Late arrivals from the houses around the castle. If the gates were suddenly locked, they would have no where else to
