GINA.Today was the day, or should I say the D-day.We have been planning for the mating ceremony for weeks to come, and it was here. I was a nervous wreck because, I was one of the people that would find their mate today, I did not know or have any hints who that might be at all.Well I was not supposed to.I rolled my eyes at myself at my own stupidity.Heading up the stairs to Luna’s room. She had told me to call her Cass, but I still can’t get used to being given the privilege to call her by her name.I was carrying her breakfast to her. Since the poison accident, I decided that I would be the one serving her food and whatnot until I was able to trust somebody else, or until further notice.Adjusting the tray in my hand, I knocked on the door. Then heard her mumbled a come in, so I walked in.“Good morning, Luna.” I said, bowing my head.“Gina, good morning. How many times have I told you to call me Cass. You are family Gina, so it’s not bad for you to call me by my given name.” S
GINA.Seeing that, I woke up like three hours later. I started to rush to get dressed, but I was still late, freshening up and dressing took a lot of my time.Deciding to wear a dress that my mother gave me before she died, it was so beautiful you know, it was green color and it made my green eyes pop.Green was my favorite color, the dress I wore today made my shape bigger, of late I have noticed the increase in my body shape. I liked it so much.Some girls had issues with being plus sized, but I fucking love it, the fat in my belly too, I liked it. I loved my body, I was not insecure when it came to my body. I had a banging body.I quickly did my make up and my hair, I was still nervous and the thought of seeing Jack made a chill go down my spine. He would look so hot.After I was finally done, I stood in front of the mirror and appreciated my beauty, I took a little piece of clothing because my hands were sweating and if they continued like this my dress will be drenched.I walked
GINA’s POV.My neck pricked me. I always had that feeling anytime I was being watched, I had a gut feeling about whose stare burnt me like that. On getting to the stage, I and Hannah stood beside each other.I could feel her taking deep breaths, she was as nervous as I was, I looked down to see her hands shaking. I took her hand in mine and she looked at me, sending me a grateful smile.We waited for the full moon to come out, I was comforting someone and my own was worse, I was hands down panicking. My eyes found his eyes and weirdly I calmed down, I suddenly stopped fidgeting like I was.We continued holding each others stare, I was scared that if I looked away, I would start feeling panicked again so I held his look as long as I could. The mc interrupted our staring contest I think? When he said the full moon was out.The men started coming out, we were at the front, so we got checked first, Hannah squeezed my hands tightly. I squeezed hers back. For the next twenty minutes, men ke
GINA’s POV.Jack wanted me to sleep in his room overnight, but I refused. I had to go back to my room.However it wasn’t easy to sleep immediately, but I did try. I kept dreaming of a certain male that was hot, lip ring and all.I woke up panting, but I managed to get over it. It was not really easy but I did it. Taking my bath, I went to serve the Luna’s food. After I was done, I just stayed in my room and read books until a I heard a knock on my door.I adjusted my cloth then went to open my door, when I opened it, it was Jack at the door, only to see Jack standing in front of me. I was surprised but I managed to cover that up.“What are you doing here?” I asked, adjusting the bodice of my cloth.His eyes followed my hand movement, causing me to quickly stop whatever I was doing.“Won’t you invite me in?” He asked, a smug look on his face.“What do you want?” I asked more adamantly this time.He looked at me for a while and he just pushed me to the side slightly and forced hims
GINA’s POV.“So tell me, how did you grow up?” He asked me, tutting.“I grew up in a rich family, my parents both had their business and they did well at it, I came here to spend time with my aunty, and I loved this place. So I decided to stay with her and live here with her. My parents tried their best while raising me, but they did not show me enough love, they were both so busy with their jobs”“But my aunty showed me love, she made me feel comfortable and it was so fun living with her, so I decided to continue living with her” I said, remembering my aunty now is bringing bad memories.“Where is your aunty now?” He asked me“She is dead, she died when some rogues came to attack the pack some years ago”“I am so sorry to hear that” he said, but he did not look at me with pity and I liked that.“Thank you” I said cleaning a lone tear that fell from my face.“Your parents?”“They are still very much alive, they are the alpha in the London realm”“Oh, the Alberts are your parents?” He
CASSANDRA’S POV.Things has been going well.I mean the pack has been getting bigger and stronger. No attack has been noted for a few weeks now.I and Alder have been growing our bond too, nurturing our love and all.The thought made me smile.I was watering the flowers in the garden like I do all the time, and I was just reminiscing about the stuffs I have been through all my life.The pain, the joy and every other things. I was really thankful for life and love, the good people around me, they are worth everything in my life.I was also happy for Jack and Gina, they were so cute, I was happy that Jack could finally move on from me and get happiness, like I have done. I also hope he goes easy on Gina too, because I know how intense he can be.Elias was coming to visit me in the next few days, it might be tomorrow or any time. I was so excited about it.These days I have been feeling nauseous and dizzy, like I want to vomit everything inside of me, it’s like I am coming up with a flu.
CASSANDRA’s POV.After I came down from my high, my legs were shaking, every part of my body was trembling, Alder just came and hugged me. He held me to himself.I wanted to pleasure him, but he did not give me chance, he said he was okay and he just wanted to please me.“So what are we eating?” He asked me.“I thought you just had dinner” I said teasing him.“Yes baby, but I need food to fuck you good yeah?” He said and I blushed.“Are you blushing?” He said pinching my cheeks.“Come on, you don’t get to do that, you were all mouth seconds ago” he said.“I want lasagna” I said.“Okay baby, I will get to work now”“You want to cook?” I asked shocked.“Yes baby, why?” He asked smirking.“I have never seen you cook.” I said still surprised.“Well, I am full of surprises” he said winking at me.“I love you” I said.“I love you more baby” he kissed me on my lips and exited the room.I quickly threw on a cloth and I went to see Gina.I got to the front of her door and knocked, she loudly t
Shock was an understatement.I mean when Cass told me that Jack had insecurities, my face expression was not all that said I was feeling. My head was in chaos, because honestly I could not get it right. Because have you seen Jack, he looked like the most arrogant idiot on this planet.I’m sorry let me rephrase that, he looked like the most hot arrogant idiot in this planet, so insecurities? I was shocked like you all are.When she said he was a big baby too. I mean there was a lot of things I didn’t know about him, I can’t say she was lying too.Because they have been siblings for most of their lives before they realized that they were not even that related.Should I give him a chance?I thought, my original plan was that I was just going to keep ignoring him so I won’t get hurt at the end.Not that I could resist him or something. I mean his presence in the room wants to make me just have an orgasm, he affected me so fucking much. And the arrogant fucker knew it, he made sure to exp
EL'S POVCassandra had been quite helpful to me which I couldn't be more grateful for. But the nightmares kept on coming causing a lot of issues for me. Now I'd thought my parents had been killed unjustly but could it be that there was more behind the story than I thought? Why was I seeing my parents giving souls to unknown figures? Why did it seem like they were ready to sell themselves away without even considering the consequences? My eyes widened, these souls were two, and I could tell mine was excluded. Why would they give out the soul of their children selling them off to ancient figures. They knew they price they were going to pay for it and that was what they paid for, and they paid with their lives. Now my siblings were missing. I just knew, I knew that I could find them.. In the darkness of the night and the isolated land of my dream, I unraveled the twisted threads of my family's enigmatic past. The nightmares haunted my every waking moment, pushing me to dig deeper into t
CASSANDRA'S POVI know that El had been going through a lot lately and it started from that night when she saw the book. And now it seemed as though there was more to what was happening than just the illness that befell her. And then the curse, the dream that she had. I sighed as she explained she'd been seeing so many things these days and I was trying to understand what it was that she was going through. "Seeing things, like what?" I asked."Like that same dream I had. I don't know why I keep having images of you or Julius getting killed. I mean is there something I don't know? Is something after you guys? Are you running away from something? So many things had changed since the day you found this necklace. A lot more changed since the day you found this book."Her voice trembled as she tried to talk about what she saw and I knew that it must have been shocking, I I moved towards her and held her hand, cause I knew I was certainly going to see what happened... then the terrible ima
JULIUS' POV Sabastian revealed himself from behind Alaric and I took a step back while Alaric, sensing him shielded him from me even though he was unfazed. "I see you two are finally enjoined.""What do you want Sabastian?" I asked."Oh, nothing much, just came to remind you of the oath you made. And you know it has consequences." Sabastian said, and I just knew I couldn't get off his grip easily. As Sabastian's words hung in the air, a shiver ran down my spine. I knew exactly what he was referring to - the oath I had made in a moment of desperation, when I thought it was the only way to save someone dear to me. But little did I know then, the grave consequences it would bring.My mind raced, desperately searching for a way out of this predicament. I couldn't let Sabastian have his way. There had to be a solution, a way to break free from his grip and nullify the oath. But it seemed like an impossible task.Alaric, still shielding Sabastian from me, glanced at me with concern in hi
JULIUS'S POV I found myself back in the past, back to when I was discussing with Alaric. His eyes were teary and it seemed as though I was yelling at him to leave me alone and that I didn't love him but Sabastian. The glimpse of these memories kept coming to me and the times when I chased Sabastian and he just made my life a living hell. All these was erased from my memory? Then I saw the part where I kissed Alaric. I was obviously heart broken because Sabastian didn't treat me well. Alaric always stood by me and always called to me. He never once let me go. The tears rushed down from my eyes because of the pain I went through being with Sabastian. In the depths of my mind, memories long buried stirred like whispers carried by the wind. They danced on the fringes of my consciousness, elusive yet relentless. And as the echoes of the past grew louder, I found myself caught in a swirling vortex of emotions.This was a time of love and heartache, a delicate balance between two souls. Sa
JULIUS' POV "There are so many mysteries poppinv out of no where's these days. I'm starting to think which one would we figure out?" Cassandra had heard about the news by me. And she wasn't wrong. There were indeed many mysteries. "Can you remember any instance where you both encountered?" I shook my head at her question. This vampire was new to me in every way. I wasn't even sure whether what he was saying was the truth.I stood at the mirror side, contemplating while Cassandra was pacing the room trying to think of probably what to do."Do you think he holds the mysteries to somethings? Perhaps he knows some truth about a matter. Would you try to find out?" She questioned and I contemplated. I wasn't so sure about that. Cassandra paced the room, her mind filled with questions and possibilities. The mention of encountering mysteries with this vampire sparked her curiosity even further. I could feel what she was feeling, could hear what she was thinking. She couldn't help but wonder
JULIUS' POV I made my way under the tree branches and away from the sun, contemplating about could happen next and how possible I would be able to tackle it. The moon was out now and the weather caused me to breathe, but then I feared for Cassandra and her family. The doubts that suddenly threatened to consume me these days wasn't helping the situation at hand at all. Some times I just wished I would be ordinary, while living an ordinary life, with nobody's intervention into my affairs. Without having to worry every second of the day. I stared at the moon a little to long because without even knowing I'd stepped into another realm. This realm was one of power, magic, fortune, but absolute no peace or remorse from them. The funny thing was, I'd been introduced to something like this before by the moon goddess, and had no idea what it was that she was trying to show me. This camp...magic existed, power existed, fortune existed, but no remorse nor peace. Then something in my mind clicke
CASSANDRA'S POVThe pain shot through my bone, causing me to jerk. And even though Alder was here with me I just couldn't get any relief, the pain and heat was all over even worse than my heat. Alder brought me close to himself and even though I wanted to snap, his scent didn't permit me to, instead it made me calm.As Alder held me close, his strong arms enveloping me, I could feel the tension slowly starting to melt away. His comforting embrace seemed to create a protective barrier around me, shielding me from the unbearable pain that had engulfed my body. His head was buried in my neck and I couldn't help but moan at the feeling of his lips touching it. I pulled him closer, not wanting him to let go, not even for a moment, and that made me wonder if I was really in pain or in heat. I was perplexed but didn't really have the time to think about it because of the profound pain. Alder's presence alone was a soothing balm to my troubled mind. With every breath, his familiar scent, a b
CASSANDRA'S POV I paced the room whilst Cassandra kept staring at me with concern. My thoughts were running wild, mind was still unable to comprehend what was going to happen next. All I knew was that things were beginning to escalate. I was beginning to suspect Sabastian, he was definitely one of those who were after the necklace. I continued to contemplate, because I couldn't predict what could possibly happen next... "Perhaps there's a way around all of these. We can't keep sitting while there's something out there threatening to attack us." Cassandra said. "I was considering something...the vampires are yet to reveal themselves. Do you think there's something fishy about that?" "We all know that there's something tricky with them. They're cunning and wouldn't act upon their intentions unless the time is right." I stated. "Perhaps I can write the story." "No, you can't. I've written it already, so there's no need for that." Her words struck a chord with me. She was right; we
JULIUS' POV I squinted my eyes as I noticed a figure from the distance through the window. Perplexed, I didn't know we were expecting any visitors, or perhaps it was one of the members of the pack? As the figure got closer this house I noticed the familiarity of it and was caught by surprise at the revelation that dawned upon me. Morgana had really outdone herself, bringing the dead back to life, ascertaining that her intentions are being executed. The figure I was seeing was nobody else other than Kathrine, and my eyes automatically shifted to Sabastian's. It was intended, he had called her here, he had given her that permission. And from what I was witnessing, she had a flesh, no longer a shadow standing in the dark. Now she was the person she used to be before she died. And I knew what she wanted, I knew what she was after too. My necklace. I stumbled backwards slightly at the profound feeling of the shock that was about to overwhelm me. I didn't even have the time to focus on Sab
