A Baby For The Alpha (Book #1 Omega's series) Cassy
BTFA 33 Lino reeled in his emotions and fixed a smile on his face as he approached the couple. Zane drew away from Cassy upon noting his presence and Lino was more than happy to ruin whatever nonsensical moment they were having. He knew he was acting petty and childish but he couldn’t help it. He was mad, and angry—same thing—and jealous and he so desperately needed to hit something or someone to vent out the terrible energy that was suffocating him. “This is where we part, Alpha Zane,” Lino said, unable to keep the jealous bit out of his voice. Zane noticed and he grinned, turning to tuck a dark lock that had come free from Cassy’s braid behind her ear. “I find that I do not want to part from my mate yet.” Hades stirred again, growling. Lino growled too as his eyes narrowed to where Zane’s thumb caressed the base of Cassy’s neck. “She is not your mate.” Zane’s grin widened. “She will be after the Hunt.” Lino clenched his fist hard to hide his fing
A Baby For The Alpha (Book #1 Omega's series) Lino
BFTA 34 Lino and Eleanor returned an hour later and Cassy picked up the smell of sex rolling off them. Eleanor’s cheeks were flushed and her eyes were bright and—Cassy hated them. Both of them. Lino wouldn’t meet her gaze. He would not even gaze in her direction. If she didn’t know better, she would have thought he felt guilty about whatever nonsense he and his mate had done in the forest—but somehow, Cassy understood why he had to do it. She hated that she did, but she understood. He mounted his horse without sparing them a glance and they resumed the journey after him. Eleanor winked at Cassy when no one else was looking and proceeded to lick the bottom of her lips in a way Cassy found beyond disgusting. Apparently, having sex with Lino was more than enough to change her mind about attending the procession. Perhaps, she’d thrown the tantrum just to make a point. A point that she had sway over Lino and the people. A point that she was Luna and Cassy would never be we
A Baby For The Alpha (Book #1 Omega's series) Cassy
BFTA 35 Cassy stared after Lino for a while, feeling hot and cold at the same time. She hugged herself as the chilly wind whipped at her clothes and her hair. She finally noticed the world moving around them and the looks of contempt that kept being tossed her way. It didn’t hurt as much as Lino leaving her did. She felt cold and alone. She didn’t want to go into that tent alone, but she knew she had no choice. Shivering slightly from the cold and the enormity of what had just occurred with Lino, in front of the entire camp. She pushed through the flaps of the tents and went through. She paused upon seeing the bedroll and blankets neatly arranged for her. At the far end of it, there were wooden buckets and water for her to see to her needs. She had not noticed them arrange any of it, having been lost in her world of thoughts. However, when she sniffed in, she could only pick up on Lino’s scent. He had arranged this for her? Her heart did a strange flip but

BFTA 36 Cassy didn't know what to expect of the peaks but she had surely not expected another castle. Considering its size, it surpassed the size of a castle. It had countless wings and numerous rooms, all structured to house everyone. One Hundred Packs were converging at the Castle and it was big enough to house all of them and their members. Being Head Alpha, Lino and his pack were given the center wing. They were shown to their rooms by children acolytes and Cassy found the little girl who led her to her room extremely adorable. Lino and Eleanor would sleep separately for the night before the Hunt. Traditions of some sort. It didn't stop them from being touchy and sneaking in a few kisses as they walked through the halls of the castle. Cassy found it irritating and annoying and had she been up to it, she would find Eleanor and tie her to her bedpost for the entire night. Or forever. As long as she didn't have to see her cooing and kissing Lino everywhere.
A Baby For The Alpha (Book #1 Omega's series) Lino’s Cassy
BFTA 37. At midnight, someone knocked on Cassy's door, rousing her from her deep sleep. Rubbing her eyes with the back of her hand, she slipped out of the soft bed and shuffled barefoot to the door. It was late. So late. Who could it be? She pulled the door open and Lino staggered into her, nearly toppling them over. Cassy held his arm to keep him from falling and she was instantly awake. "Li--lino," she said when he laughed and put his arms around her, pulling her into his warm embrace. Her ears perked at the scuffling of boots and the voices of passing men and she shut the door quickly before anyone would see them. "You can't be here, Lino," Cassy said, pulling at his tunic to get him away from her, but Lino nuzzled her neck and murmured against it, "Let me stay with you, Cassy. Please." He was drunk again, Cassy realized when the smell of strong liquor tickled her nostrils. She stopped pulling at his shirt and her hands circled his waist inste
A Baby For The Alpha (Book #1 Omega's series) Deja Vu
BFTA 38 The Hunt was an hour away and Cassy found herself on the verge of a nervous breakdown. A faint feeling of deja vu gripped her as she stood in a straight line of maidens, who were awaiting the Moon Goddess's blessings before venturing into the peaks beyond the Castle. Months ago, she had stood in a similar line, confused. Her life had changed so much since then. She had gone from that woman to who she was now. But who was she now? She was still a very confused Cassy who was waiting in line to be chosen by an Alpha. How utterly hilarious. Where Lino had stood months ago, the priestess stood, raising a silver bowl to the sky and chanting to the Goddess and muttering prayers to her. Simultaneously, an Elder was walking along the length of the line, giving instructions to them on what was to be done in the peaks. He was halfway in and Cassy wondered when he would stop talking already. She'd gotten the hang of it. Or some of it at least. The Hu
A Baby For The Alpha (Book #1 Omega's series) Cassy
BFTA 39 Cassy burst through the woods smoothly and quickly. Having had enough practice in the last month with running in the wild at the Goddess’s shelter, she was fit and her body was in shape. Swerving and ducking tree branches had become muscle memory and she glided through with ease. The sound of harsh breathing and foot hitting grass filled the air. She spared a glance backward, watching the rest running as well. They all sprinted in different directions and Cassy couldn’t keep up with where they all ran into. She lost sight of Eleanor as well as the woman dashed for an already paved path. Good. Perhaps she’d meet something deadly on that path and do the world a favor by dying. The woman sprinting closest to her seemed slightly familiar and when she looked more closely she recognized her as the Luna of Alpha Fridolf. The pregnant Luna from dinner last night. Her cheeks were flushed and she was panting and sweating profusely, though she had a determined express
A Baby For The Alpha (Book #1 Omega's series) Cassy
BFTA 40 Cassy breathed heavily. "Why don't you just do it?" Eleanor laughed maniacally. "Oh, but I can't let you die quickly, Cassy. You've cost me enough already. I have but a few questions. After that, I promise I'll let you join your child in the great beyond." Cassy hissed, shifting underneath Eleanor but the blade against her throat was a hair's breadth away from tearing her skin. She couldn't move much. "How did you do it? I could've sworn I heard you die. How did you survive? You came back different. Tell me why!" Cassy smiled. "Say please." Eleanor's eyes darkened with rage and her fist slammed into Cassy's face, causing Cassy's vision to blur temporarily. Pain shot through her nose, straight to her head. Cassy groaned, blinking furiously as tears flooded her eyes. The taste of metal and iron filled her mouth and she turned to the side, spitting out the blood that flooded her mouth. "Does it vex you so? That I survived? Or is it Lino? That you ca

A Baby For The Alpha (Book #1 Omega's series) Epilogue
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
