--Cassie--

“Get up, Cassie,” I heard Michelle’s voice as she tapped me gently on the shoulder, pulling me from the edges of sleep.

“Let me sleep, please,” I murmured, hugging my pillow tighter, wishing that somehow I could stay in this cocoon of comfort and escape reality a little longer.

“Today is your wedding, girl!” she replied, her tone a mix of excitement and urgency.

The words jolted me awake, and I sat up suddenly, as if struck by lightning. My heart sank as the realization hit me, and a tear slipped down my cheek. So, its today, I thought, as a wave of helplessness washed over me. I wished, desperately, that I could run away. The idea lingered, sweet and enticing, like a dream that would never be. My mind raced with images of escaping, of disappearing into a place where arranged marriages and obligations didn’t exist.

“Cassie, everyone is waiting for you,” Aunt Sophia called from the doorway, a soft smile on her face, as though this were any ordinary day. She looked so cheerfu

    --Cassie--Looking at myself in the mirror, I could hardly recognize the person staring back. My reflection shimmered with elegance, and for a moment, I found myself mesmerized. The soft glow of the morning light poured in through the window, casting a gentle, golden hue over everything, as if even the world outside was celebrating this day. The delicate lace and diamonds of my gown sparkled as I moved, and I couldn’t deny that I looked beautiful, like a vision straight out of a dream. I took a deep breath, trying to steady the fluttering in my heart.Just then, there was a soft knock at the door. “Cassie,” I heard, followed by my father’s familiar voice. The rest of the room fell silent, and with gentle murmurs, my bestfriends and the makeup artist stepped out, leaving us alone. I turned to see him standing there, his face a mixture of pride and sadness. His eyes softened when he looked at me, and I could see he was fighting to hold back his emotions, just as I was.“Dad…” I whispere

    --Cassie--It was time to step into the church. My heart raced, thumping painfully in my chest, but I knew this was my last chance to run. Yet, deep down, I knew I wasn’t going to. I wasn’t that ungrateful, not after everything they had done for me.Hailey and Michelle stood infront of me, their smiles wide and eager, as if this was the happiest moment of their lives. Dad's grip on my hand was firm, steady, as he prepared to lead me down the aisle. His fingers, warm and comforting, seemed to anchor me in that fleeting moment of doubt.“This is our moment!” Hailey whispered, her voice barely audible over the rising swell of music. Her eyes sparkled with excitement, her cheeks flushed, as if she had been waiting for this day for years.Dad gave me one last look, his smile full of pride and tenderness, and then the massive wooden doors creaked open. A rush of light poured in, revealing the church, so grand and imposing, with its towering columns and stained-glass windows that bathed the

    --Cassie--I couldn’t believe what had just happened. My lips still tingled, the sensation foreign and unfamiliar, while around us, people were applauding, their smiles bright and eyes full of excitement. Some, however, looked less pleased, casting sharp glances our way, their discontent thinly veiled. But it was the words of the priest that echoed in my ears, sending a shiver through me: "I now present to you, Mr. and Mrs. De Luca."The reality of it all crashed over me like a wave. This was my first kiss—stolen without my consent, in front of all these people, at a ceremony I could barely believe I was part of. I hadn’t chosen this, not really. The kiss felt like the symbolic surrender of my innocence, something precious that I had always imagined saving for someone I truly loved. Yet here I was, and the one thing I was certain of in that moment was that I wouldn’t be giving him any more than what was already taken. Not willingly, at least."Cassie." A voice called my name, snapping

    --Cassie--As I stepped into the reception, I was struck by the grandeur of the place. The decor was breathtakingly elegant, every detail meticulously crafted, as if they had spared no expense. I couldn’t help but feel a flicker of satisfaction."Look at your husband," Hailey teased, her voice a bit too loud, causing several heads to turn our way. Embarrassed, I tried to shush her, but her words made me blush nonetheless. I cast a glance at Alessandro—my new husband. He was standing across the room, speaking with a few guests, his demeanor as composed and distant as ever.Suddenly, an elderly man began to approach, his gentle smile and warm eyes catching my attention. He looked distinguished, carrying himself with the sort of confidence that came from years of experience. Dad appeared beside him, placing a reassuring hand on my shoulder as we exchanged glances."My dear Cassie," the man greeted, his voice soft yet resonant. Dad gave a small nod and said, "Cassie, this is Alessandro’s

    --Cassie--“Cassie, Cassie,” a voice called my name, gentle but insistent, pulling me from a foggy haze. Slowly, I opened my eyes, blinking at the bright lights around me. As my vision cleared, I saw familiar faces gathered close—Aunty Sophia, my dad, and my friends, Hailey and Michelle. Relief washed over their expressions as they saw me stir.“Oh, she’s awake!” one of them exclaimed, smiling.I looked around, taking in the room. We were still in the grand reception hall, its opulence now dimmed by my disoriented state. Everything felt surreal, like waking from a strange dream. “What…what happened?” I asked, my voice coming out in a whisper as I tried to focus on their faces.“You fainted,” someone said softly, but the murmurs and hushed voices around us made it difficult to pinpoint who. I noticed the way people looked at me with a mixture of concern and curiosity, their eyes heavy with questions."I bet she’s pregnant, that’s why she fainted," someone whispered from a distance, tho

    --Cassie--It was time to say goodbye. My bags were packed, and I was ready to leave. I had tried everything to contact Alessandro, but every attempt failed. His phone wouldn’t connect, and the pilots were already waiting at the airport. I was running late—an hour behind schedule, with eyes swollen and red from crying. I didn’t want to talk to anyone. I could hear Dad and Aunt Sophia talking softly, their voices barely reaching me as I stood by the door."I don’t want to speak to you, Dad. You lied to me that you did not know that I had to go stay in Italy but you did," I choked out, my voice filled with betrayal. "I asked if you knew, and you lied." With that, I walked out of the house, my two best friends beside me, helping me carry my luggage.I paused for a moment, taking one last look at the house where I’d grown up. Memories of my childhood flooded back—the laughter, the joy, the moments with my mother. My mother… I could still feel her presence in the walls, in the air.I hurri

    --Cassie--“We will be landing in twenty minutes,” the pilot announced through the speakers, his voice steady and calm, but it only heightened my nerves. I took a deep breath, trying to settle the thoughts whirling inside me. This new reality, the weight of it, was beginning to sink in as we neared Italy.Stephanie, the flight attendant who had stayed by my side throughout the flight, gave me a warm smile. She’d done everything to make me comfortable, offering snacks, pillows, and even sharing stories about her own life. Despite her kindness, I hadn’t told her much about my own situation. Even though she seemed genuine, I kept the truth of my predicament close to my chest. But her sincere, gentle approach made me feel like I could trust her, and that comfort was something I’d desperately needed today.“Are you feeling okay?” she asked softly, sitting down beside me. “Landing can be a bit intense, especially after a long journey.”I smiled back, though it felt a bit fragile. “Yes, I’m

    --Cassie--We had been driving for over two hours, and an uneasy feeling was building in my chest. I shifted uncomfortably and finally leaned forward."Mr. Blake?" I called out to him, my voice catching slightly.“Yes, ma’am?” he replied, glancing at me through the rearview mirror. His expression was steady, as if he already knew the question I was about to ask.“Where exactly are we going?” I asked, looking out the window. All I could see were endless rows of trees, stretching as far as I could make out.“We’re on our way to Mr. DeLuca’s estate, ma’am,” he answered, his tone serious and calm.“Are you sure?” I pressed, glancing at the trees around us, my nerves on edge. “It’s been hours, and we’re just surrounded by trees.” A sliver of doubt crept in—what if these people weren’t from Alessandro? What if they’d been lying to me all along?A pang of panic started to rise. My thoughts ran wild with every possible scenario, my heart pounding faster. I glanced at the cars behind us, part

    --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

    --Cassie--"Someone is here to speak with you, Alpha," one of the helpers announced as they stepped into the room.Alessandro barely looked up, his irritation evident from the tension in his jaw. 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

    ---Cassie--Waking up in the middle of the night, I noticed Alessandro seated at the edge of the bed, his gaze fixed on me. 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. The air in the room felt heav

This was the time I needed him, but I couldn’t force myself on him. He seemed almost like a boy now—but I was wrong.

My pulse raced, each beat drumming louder in my ears as anticipation coiled tightly in my stomach.“Bambina,” he murmured, his voice low and rough, thick with restrained desire. Making me shocked of his moves. His dark eyes roamed over me, drinking in every inch as though committing the sight to memory. Slowly, his f
