--Cassie--

The room was breathtakingly glamorous. The chandeliers, massive and intricately designed, hung high above, casting a golden glow that shimmered off every polished surface. The atmosphere was opulent, almost surreal, as though I had stepped into a world reserved for the elite.

As we made our way further inside, the stares continued. Alessandro, however, seemed completely unfazed. He moved with a natural confidence, exuding an air of authority that made it clear he belonged here. He looked like the man of the hour, and judging by the way people murmured and whispered, he was enjoying every second of it.

"Oh, she’s so young," I heard someone mutter nearby.

"Look at those curves—and that face. She probably went under the knife."

The words stung, but instead of ignoring them, I turned and met the speaker’s gaze directly. She froze, her expression shifting from smug confidence to startled surprise. I held her gaze for a moment longer, making it clear I had heard her, then turned

    --Cassie--“We will now begin the auctioning of the goods,” Lorenzo’s voice boomed, his tone infused with grandeur.From behind the velvet curtain, a sleek, elegant drawer was wheeled onto the stage, drawing the crowd’s attention. Atop it sat a stunning pair of antique clocks, their polished gold frames gleaming under the spotlight. The intricate patterns on the surface and the subtle chime that echoed in the silence gave them an otherworldly aura.“This pair of clocks here,” Lorenzo continued with dramatic flair, “is known as the Clock of Money. Legend has it that every tick blesses your business with abundance—every second, every moment.”I blinked, startled. My first instinct was to scoff. How could anyone believe something so ridiculous? A clock that brings wealth? It sounded like one of those myths that people desperately clung to for comfort.Alessandro must have noticed the incredulous look on my face because he leaned closer, his voice low and amused. “It’s not true, of course

    --Cassie--The auction had finally come to an end, and Alessandro and I were making our way out of the booth toward the gala hall. The atmosphere was electric, but I couldn’t shake off the feeling of unease that lingered in the air. Tonight, I had seen greed in its rawest form, and I was certain this night would be etched into my memory for a long time—perhaps forever.A commotion happened near one of the booths caught my attention. Two celebrities, both renowned for their glamorous but controversial lives, were at each other’s throats over a diamond necklace. Voices were raised, insults thrown, and it didn’t take long for the argument to devolve into a full-blown physical altercation.“Unbelievable,” I muttered under my breath, watching the chaos unfold.The security team acted quickly, stepping in to separate the two women before they would have brawl could escalate further. Despite their scuffle, they had been so distracted by their heated exchange that neither noticed when another

    --Cassie--Yesterday had been an exhausting day for all of us. The events, the tension, and the overwhelming social games had drained every ounce of energy I had. I thought the day’s drama was behind us, but I was wrong.Yesterday as we were seated at the table when Lalia returned, her eyes still red from earlier. Shortly after, five young women approached her. They moved with practiced ease, their perfectly styled appearances giving them an air of confidence that Lalia clearly lacked.It didn’t take long for their intentions to become clear. Alessandro leaned over and whispered, “They’re here to hook up with wealthy men. Happens at events like these—through the connections of a certain powerful woman.”I looked at him, stunned. “You’re saying they’re...?”He nodded subtly, confirming my suspicion. “Escorts. High-end, expensive ones. It’s normal at these types of galas. Lalia must be new to this. Look at her—she doesn’t even know what she’s gotten herself into.”My heart sank as I tur

    --Cassie--Waking up in the room alone, I immediately noticed Alessandro’s absence. The emptiness of the bed beside me only added to the quiet of the morning, but my rumbling stomach quickly reminded me of a more pressing need. I needed food, and I needed it now.Throwing off the covers, I got up and headed straight for the dining room. As I entered, the familiar hum of conversation filled the air. Everyone was there except for Marco and Alessandro.“Good morning,” I greeted the room with a polite smile before finding a seat at the table. My eyes briefly scanned the room, landing on Lalia. She was here too, sitting a few seats away, and she looked much more relaxed than she had yesterday.I focused on my plate, letting the aroma of the warm meal soothe my morning haze. As I ate, I couldn’t help but notice Lalia’s gaze lingering on me. She wasn’t being subtle, and her curiosity was palpable. It made me wonder if she wanted to say something. But she didn’t. She just kept staring, her ex

    --Cassie--The next morning Alessandro was already gone. I could not meet with Elise yesterday because something came up I sat up in bed, feeling a mix of relief and disappointment. Suddenly, I began to feel incredibly hot. It was as if a furnace had ignited within me. I glanced at the AC, which was on and functioning correctly. What was happening to me? I felt an overwhelming urge to strip off my clothes. Without a second thought, I peeled them off, not caring if someone could enter and see me. The heat was unbearable, and my skin felt like it was on fire.I thought a shower might help, so I rushed to the bathroom and turned on the cold water. But even the cold water did little to alleviate the heat. I sat in the tub, my head pounding, my back aching, my abdomen cramping—every part of my body was in distress. I felt a primal, almost feral need coursing through me."Woooo," I heard howling from outside. The sound was loud and insistent, a chorus of voices that seemed to vibrate thro

    --Cassie--I couldn’t believe it. I had given my virginity to Alessandro. The thought kept replaying in my mind, each time leaving me in a mix of disbelief and wonder. Last night had been something entirely different—a night where all my senses had come alive. It was as though I craved him in a way I didn’t know was possible. At first, I thought I was unwell, but when he entered the room, something shifted. My body, soul, and spirit had yearned for him, and I couldn’t resist the pull.As I lay in bed now, the memories of the previous night lingered vividly. I couldn’t shake the idea that maybe someone had drugged my food or drink. How else could I explain what I had felt? I had never experienced anything like that before.The sound of water running from the shower broke through my thoughts, reminding me that Alessandro wasn’t here in the room with me. He was in the bathroom. I felt a wave of shyness wash over me. How was I supposed to face him after what happened? He knew I was a virg

    --Cassie--How was I ever going to face him now? It seemed Alessandro was waiting for me in the room, and the thought alone made my cheeks burn. I was too shy to step out of the bathroom, too flustered to gather my courage.For the past ten minutes, I had been standing behind the bathroom door, hoping he might leave. But, of course, I was wrong. He wasn’t going anywhere. The bed creaked faintly under his weight, a reminder that he was still there, waiting patiently.I took a deep breath, steeling myself. You can do this, I thought, though my heart pounded furiously in my chest. Slowly, I stepped out, my towel wrapped tightly around me. His eyes landed on me instantly, and the intensity of his gaze made me want to melt into the floor.Without a word, I quickly made my way to the closet, too self-conscious to meet his eyes. My footsteps felt hurried, almost frantic, as if speed alone could shield me from the weight of his stare.“I’m waiting so we can go for breakfast,” he called out ca

My heart raced as his lips lingered, and I felt a deep ache building within me. He turned me around slowly, his hands firm but tender on my shoulders. His dark eyes locked onto mine, searching for a silent answer. The intensity of his gaze left me breathless, and I gave him a small, trembling nod.A knowing smile curled his lips.I reached for the hem of my dress, intending to remove it, but his hand gently stopped me.“That’s my job, Bambina,” he said, his voice husky and laced with desire.The sound sent another wave of shivers down my body. His hands moved with purpose, and within moments, my dress slipped from my shoulders, pooling at my feet. I stood before him, clad only in a lace

    --Cassie--"Congratulations, Lalia," I said as we settled into the car, a warm smile spreading across my face."Thank you, Cassie," she replied, a mixture of excitement and nerves in her voice as she started the engine."Are you going to tell him now?" I asked, watching her carefully. I knew how much this moment meant to her, but also how much she worried about Lorenzo’s reaction."No, I’ll text him in the evening and tell him we need to meet," she said, her fingers drumming lightly on the steering wheel. "He’s busy with Pack matters right now, and I don’t want to distract him.""Okay," I said, nodding in understanding. Timing was everything with Lorenzo—he took his responsibilities seriously, and Lalia always made sure not to disturb him unless it was important."Let’s go to the mall then," she suggested, her voice lighter now, and I could see a small smile tugging at the corners of her lips.The mall was only a five-minute drive from the hospital, and before we knew it, we were pull

    --Cassie--I was getting ready, nerves buzzing as we prepared to leave for the hospital. Lalia was eager to find out how far along she was, and I couldn’t wait to support her through this. The early morning light streamed through the windows, casting soft shadows across the room.I walked to the sink, brushing my teeth, trying to shake the uneasy feeling gnawing at me. Alessandro was hunched over his laptop, furiously typing away, oblivious to everything else. Lalia had taken the wheel today—her way of asserting some control, perhaps. I knew Alessandro had reached out to Mr. Gulio to inquire about my whereabouts, but I couldn’t let him know we were heading to the hospital. Not yet, anyway.“You’re going baby shopping this early?” Alessandro’s voice sliced through the quiet.“Yes, I’m going with Lalia,” I said, a smile tugging at my lips as I turned to walk toward the closet. I could feel his eyes on me, but I refused to let his questioning get to me.Inside the closet, I quickly slipp

    --Cassie--It had been a whole three months since I found out I was pregnant, and I was already five months along. My baby bump was quite large for someone at this stage, but it made sense—I was having twins, after all. Reuniting with Hasiley and Michelle had brought a sense of completeness to my life, and everything was going so well. Today was especially exciting because it marked our annual Christmas get-together, and I couldn't wait to have everyone gathered around the table. Life felt good, and I had no regrets about marrying Alessandro. He had been my rock through it all.Tomorrow, I had plans to go baby shopping to pick up a few essentials before my due date crept up on me."So, let's go to the hospital tomorrow," I said to Lalia, now I can say best friend, as we relaxed in my bedroom."Okay, that sounds like a plan," she replied with a warm smile, tucking herself under the sheets.I noticed the hesitant look in her eyes before she added, "Please don't tell Lorenzo until I conf

    --Cassie--Looking at the screen, I was so happy, but the feeling was short-lived."Oh, I forgot! I have to get this to the lab. I’ll be right back," the doctor said, making me nod. I had thought she was going to put on the device so that we could see the babies."She’ll be back soon, you know that, right?" Alessandro said to me, his voice laced with amusement. I glared at him in response."Take that book from the table for me," I said, pointing to a book titled ‘All That Parents Need to Know’.Opening the first page, Alessandro looked carefully at it, just as intrigued as I was. I could see the curiosity in his eyes as he flipped through the pages.‘Everything You Have to Know About the Development of the Baby from the First Month to the Ninth Month of Pregnancy’.I stared at Alessandro, and he was already ahead of me in reading. I knew he was going to be a good dad, and I couldn’t wait to spend all my years with him.‘A Fictional Take on the Development of the Baby from the First to

There was no way Alessandro would tolerate her presence any longer."Ready?" Alessandro asked, snapping me out of my thoughts."Yes, I am. Ready to see the doctor," I replied with a smile.Relief washed over me like a gentle wave. The turmoil of the past few days had finally settled, and everything seemed to be falling into place. The weight I’d been carrying on my shoulders had lifted, leaving me lighter and happier than I’d felt in weeks."Where is the Pack hospital?" I asked, my voice brimming with curiosity."It’s just outside the Pack," Alessandro replied, glancing at me with a small smile. "You haven’t had a full tour of the area yet, but don’t worry. I’ll make that happen soon."I nodded eagerly, already imagining the new places I’d get to see."Oh, and after the appointment, we’ll stop by a bookstore. I need to pi

The events with Daniella had left everyone on edge, and interruptions weren’t helping.“Who is it? Is it a pack member? They can wait in the waiting room,” he replied sharply, his voice carrying the weight of his annoyance.“No, Alpha, it’s not a pack member. It’s someone claiming he’s here to talk to his mate,” the helper said, their words hanging heavily in the air.The room fell into a tense silence, and all eyes turned to Daniella. She froze, her expression shifting from feigned innocence to barely concealed panic. It was clear she knew exactly who had come for her.Without hesitation, Alessandro rose from his seat, his entire demeanor shifting. His earlier irritation melted away, replaced by a palpable eagerness. The rest of us followed suit, trailing after him as he strode purposefully

    --Cassie--“What are you going to do about Daniella?” I asked, my voice sharper than I intended. The thought of her lingered in my mind like an unwelcome guest. Whether the child she carried was Alessandro’s or not, she had to respect me. Something had to give—she couldn’t just stay and disrupt our lives without consequences.“I’ll speak to her tomorrow, I promise,” Alessandro said, his voice steady, though I caught a flicker of unease in his eyes. “But you need to see the Pack doctor too.”“Who’s been handling everything in my absence?” he asked, his tone suddenly serious, the Alpha side of him emerging like a storm rolling over calm waters.“Me,” I replied simply, crossing my arms.A small, incredulous smile played on his lips, as though he thought I was joking. “You?”“Yes, me,” I said firmly, my voice unwavering. “And you’ll find out tomorrow just how well I’ve handled things.”He chuckled softly and stepped closer to me. “I missed this fire in you,” he said. “I just want to hold

So, I’m going to ask you for the last time—” I leaned forward, staring him directly in the eyes. “Is my dad a werewolf?”He hesitated, his jaw tightening as though he was bracing himself for the blow his answer would deliver. Finally, after what felt like an eternity, he muttered a single word that changed everything. “Yes.”My heart stopped. For a moment, it was as if the world had fallen silent, and the ground beneath me had disappeared. Alessandro kept speaking, his voice low and steady, but I couldn’t hear a single word. Everything around me blurred, and the pounding in my ears drowned out his explanations. The betrayal I felt hit me like a tidal wave. It wasn’t just a sting or a pinch—it was a deep, soul-crushing wound. Hot tears spilled down my cheeks, and no matter how hard I tried, I c

His expression was calm but intense, and as the haze of sleep lifted, I could see a glimmer of recognition in his eyes. Memories of everything that had happened came flooding back to me. Realizing he had regained his memory, I instantly sat up, my heart pounding with a mix of relief and anticipation.“I missed you, you know,” I said softly, leaning forward to hug him. My arms wrapped tightly around him, and I felt the familiar warmth of his presence.“I missed you more,” Alessandro replied, his voice low and thick with emotion. He didn’t move to return the hug immediately; instead, his eyes seemed distant, lost in deep thought.“I’m glad you’re awake,” he said after a long pause, his lips curving into a faint smile. “I didn’t want to disturb you.”His words made me smile, and I adjusted the pillow behind me to better support my back.
