Chapter 19Her head bangs with pain as she tries to open her eyes, and she closes them back again. Her whole body feels so weak and she finds it difficult to move any part of her body. Like a movie, the incident of the earlier moment replays in her head and she forces her eyes open, only to find herself in a strange room. "Where am I?" Still lying on the bed and staring at the place strangely, she asks herself in a whisper. Is she dead? This place doesn't look like the heaven she has always heard about, so where the hell is she? Those are the questions that keep running through her mind as she stares at the place in confusion. "What were you doing outside at that time?" A cold masculine voice emerges from the dark, sending a chilled sensation to her body, as her heart misses a beat. That's the voice she will always recognize even in her deep sleep. It's alpha Damien. At this point, her weakness has already been drained and represented by fear. She quickly sits up on the bed and til
Cassie Robert Staying in the castle with the alpha is the worst punishment ever. I have been living in the castle for the past one week, and these past few days have been the worst days of my life. The only difference now is that I get to see madam Leila often, and she always gives me food to eat, which she always does secretly. I have worked my life out here without rest with each day that passes by, and I think I'll pass out anytime soon. I have been awake for the past five minutes after the big bell that do wake the maids up every morning, rang loudly. I have been awake, but I can't move my body as they feel numb and hard to move. What was I even expecting, when I work all day without resting? The loud bang on the door reminds me that I have some work to do out there. The first thing I have been doing every morning is to wake up before the alpha and go to wait for him at his doorstep until he wakes up. Who does that? That's wickedness, but who am I to complain? I mean, can't som
She watches as Olivia walks out of the kitchen. Her blood is boiling in rage and anger is written all over her, her words are hurting her, but she can't even retaliate. Taking a deep breath to get rid of the anger that has been trying to consume him, she smiles faintly before she finally turns her attention to the sink and she starts washing the dishes. It takes her another thirty minutes, and after she's done, she strides to the alpha's chamber to check up on him. Luckily for her, he's not back yet. She's always happy whenever the alpha is away from the castle, as it gives her some time to have breathing space. It has been a while since she last got to see her only friend in the pack, which is Zoey. She has really missed her a whole lot and wishes that they can see each other, but there's no way they can. Striding down the veranda and going nowhere, in a bid to clear off her head and get some fresh air before the alpha returns to the castle, a slightly opened door at the far end of
Evening... Unlike every other day that he'd feel so lively after a long ride, today was different. He went out earlier today to race, in a bid to get rid of his messy thoughts lately, but nothing worked out for him as it only worsened his state of mind. Standing in the garden and staring into space, his mind is occupied with so many thoughts. He has been sad lately, he has been broken, and he needs someone to talk to. Someone that'll understand that he's in pain, someone that won't judge him, but since his beta is not around, then there's absolutely no one he could share his problem with. Being a leader is indeed tough. You would have to act strong even when you can't hold on anymore, you have to act like everything is fine even when dying slowly inside, and it hurts badly. Taking a deep breath, he throws his head back as tears slowly trickles down his cheeks. Sometimes he just wants to scream his lungs out and tell the whole world how much pain he's suffering inside, sometimes he
United States The large room is decorated beautifully and has a soothing fragrance. A big king-sized bed is in the middle of the room. The closet is big and looks sparkling clean with no trace of dust on it. The chandelier light hanging on the ceiling makes the room more beautiful. Dean is sitting on the edge of the bed with all his attention on the laptop sitting on the center table before him. He has been working on the laptop for over two hours, and it's almost daybreak. He almost didn't sleep all through the night. It's Monday today, and he had to take care of some of his works over the weekend. Suddenly, he sighs softly as his face drops sadly. Thinking about his past makes him feel horrible and always sad. He has always tried not to think about it, and move on with his life, but no matter how much he tried to be strong, the pain is always there. Maybe this is how losing a close family is. Ever since the death of his mom, his life has never remained the same. He was still tryi
The Blue Moon pack Cassie Robert It was a narrow escape for me today. I woke extremely late in the morning, but thank goodness that it was my lucky day today. Rushing out of my room this morning after the guard came to wake me up, I rushed to the alpha's room, thinking I'll find him sitting on his bed and waiting to punish me, but fortunately, he wasn't around. I later realized that he left very early before daybreak. Guess what, he's away for some time. I'm the happiest person on earth now, at least I'll have breathing space before he returns to the castle. After I'm done with the day's work, I walk back into my room to have a long and relaxing bath. It has been a while since I last had a relaxing bath. It has been me rushing through every personal thing I do. Today, I have all the time in the world to have my bath and relax. Soaking myself under the soapy bathtub, I scrub myself slowly, as I make sure to take my time and do everything gently. There's no need to rush things since
United States Dean is standing on his balcony and staring into space. His hands are on the rail. It's almost evening, and the atmosphere is quite conducive. He smiles warmly as the gentle soothing blows on his face, swaying his hair slowly and in rhythm with the motion of the wind. He sighs briefly and glances at his wristwatch. He has an appointment in exactly an hour, and it's time to get ready for the appointment and go meet those people. He is not feeling too good about the appointment, something keeps telling him to stay back, but unfortunately, he has to be there for something important. Taking another soft breath, he finally turns around and walks back into his room. Stepping into the room, he picks up his phone and unlocks it. A message pops on the screen and turns out that his client already sent the address where they're supposed to meet. He squints his eyes, reading through the message again. Seeing the address that was sent, he feels odd about this. Business dinner is a
Chapter 26His head bangs hard as he tries to open his eyes, and he closes them back again. His whole body aches badly, and he's also weak. He feels like all his strength has been drained, and his eyes are dizzy. Seconds slowly tick into minutes before he finally forces his eyes open, and the blurry white ceiling welcomes him. The ceiling is strange and doesn't look like the ceiling of his room, but that's not his problem. His problem is to see clearly, and also where he is and how he ended up here. Two minutes later, his vision finally becomes clear, and he manages to look around the room. The room is pained in white, the pink colored curtains look extremely beautiful and fit the color of the paint. He spots the closet standing adjacent to the big bed he's lying on. He slowly tilts his head to the other side of the room, where he's welcomed with a set of cosmetics. The room belongs to a woman, judging from the way things are arranged. He groans painfully as he tries to sit up on t
Epilogue It has been over three months already, and everyone has been living as though nothing happened. Luna Helga has been released after Cassie pleaded with alpha Damien. She has been happy to have found her mom after spending all the previous years of her life without her. Still thinking about her father, although the man was ruthless to her in the past, she can't still help feeling bad about everything. Maybe she should've controlled herself and not killed him, but it wasn't her fault that everything happened. It was what has already been written by fate, and no one could change it. Lydia and Dean have been seeing each other, she has forgiven her dad after Dean persuaded her, and they'll be having their mating ceremony in a week or two. As for Astrid, she has been sentenced to a few months imprisonment for attempting to murder Cassie. It's a beautiful evening, and Cassie is staring up at the dark sky on the balcony. Thinking about everything that happened these past few month
Chapter 72Five days later... Cassie forces her eyes open slowly, as the blurry ceiling welcomes her. Her head hurts slightly, and she groans in pain, shutting her eyes. Trying to recall what happened, a sharp gasp escapes her throat as she finally recalls everything. The last thing she remembered was being on the battlefield, and she suddenly slumped after she took an attack that was meant for Damien. She recalled taking her father's life on the spot, and that woman? Is she OK? And Damien, was he able to escape?"You're awake..." Alpha Damien's excited voice sounds as he walks inside the room with a smile plastered on his lips. He has just gone out a few minutes ago to get something important done. Tilting her head in the direction of the voice, she can't help the drop of tears that slid down her cheek. Here she was, thinking that something bad happened to him. Seeing him so healthy and standing in front of her, she can't help the excitement that rushes through her. Slowly, a smil
Chapter 71"Will she be fine?" Alpha Damien asks madam Leila for the umpteenth time after he glances at Cassie, who's still fast asleep. Tears well up in his eyes, but he forces them back and takes a deep breath. "She's weak now, and it may take a while before she recovers from it," Hearing this, his heart sinks into his stomach and he bites his bottom lip. It has been three days already, and she hasn't woken up yet. Will she ever be fine? Will she wake up eventually? "Hmm," He hums and nods his head as he sighs briefly. "I'll be on my way now, my lord," Madam Leila says before she finally strides out of the room, leaving Damien with Cassie. "Are you OK? Will you be fine, hmm?" He speaks softly as he strokes her hair. A drop of tears slid down his cheek. He has missed her so much, and he can't wait for her to finally wake up. But what if she never wakes up again? How will he survive without her? He blames himself for not being able to protect her, and it hurts so much to see her i
He groans angrily, shutting his eyes. Who the fuck is at the door, and why would he or she disturb him at this moment? "Who's there?" He asks angrily. "My lord... There's a problem. Astrid fell into the cliff and fainted," Hearing this, Cassie's heart wrenches in pain as anger shoot through her. Here she was, thinking that it was something serious, little did she know that her husband's mistress is the one in danger. She stares up at him, waiting for his next action. He won't possibly leave her, right? Will he go to her or satisfy her first? "I'll be back," And with that, he pulls away from her and stands up to his feet, grabbing his robe from the floor and wearing it swiftly, storming out of the room afterward like someone worried about his lover. Staring at the closed door, her heart breaks into a million pieces as she slowly clenches her fists. Tears well up in her eyes and they find their way out afterward. What was she even thinking? That he'll care about her more than his w
Chapter 69Blue Moon Pack "Why, Astrid? Why did you do it?" He roars angrily, as he clenches his fists beside him, while he grits his teeth. His blood boils in rage as he stares at her. It's only taking all of his self-restraint not to pounce on her and rip her heart off her chest, but he has no idea for how long he will be able to control this demonic anger that keeps trying to consume him. Astrid drops her gaze sadly as a drop of tears slid down her cheek. Her cover has just been blown, and she's in a deep mess now. Alpha Damien won't spare her, and she knows it. She feels her world crashing down to her feet, and the more the seconds ticks, the more she feels her doom drawing close to her, and she can't help the fear that keeps penetrating her bones and all of her. "I ask again, Astrid... Why did you do it?" His voice is filled with a dark and intimidating aura, as he finally moves his leg. "Forgive me, my lord. I was wrong..." Her voice quivers as she trembles on the floor. Her
Chapter 68Dark Blood Pack "Is... She my...child?" Helga whispers as she stares at the flowers, a drop of tears sliding down her cheeks. She never imagined that a day like this would ever come again. A day she would see this man again. The past she thought she had buried come haunting her, and she can't help the sadness that fills her from within. Why does he have to be the one? Why does he have to show up before her now? Those are the questions that she keeps asking herself as she stares into space. "What happened, Amelie? I thought you died?" Nicolai finally asks the question he has been craving for moments now. He looks shocked and confused. He should be because anyone in his shoe will feel the same way. Just twenty-six years ago, he and this woman were so much in love. Yes, she was the alpha's wife, but he loved her still. He was ready to do anything to be by her side, he was ready to scale through oceans and reach her wherever she was, he loved her with everything that he held
Chapter 67The dark blood pack... Helga sighs for the umpteenth time as she paces restlessly in her chamber. It has been many hours already, and she can't still bring herself to forget about what Cassie told her. Recalling the pain on her face when she was narrating her story to her earlier, she can't help the pain that keeps shooting through her heart uncontrollably. Letting out another brief sigh, she finally sits on the edge of the bed and runs her fingers through her hair in so much confusion. Moments ago, she was waiting for her father to show up so she can finally get what she wants, but now the feeling has changed. She doesn't feel like hurting her again, for some reason which she has no idea of. "Who is she?" She asks herself for the umpteenth time, but too bad that she may never find the answer to her question. Still lost in thoughts, the sound of the knock on the door suddenly pulls her back to reality, and she stares at the closed door for a few seconds, before she fina
Chapter 66Blood moon pack... "Shit!" Nicolai curses under his breath, slamming his hands on the desk. He has been like this since he got a message that Cassie is now held captive in the Dark blood pack. "I can't send Lydia there, Nicolai. Helga is going to kill her," alpha Kayden panics as he says to Nicolai while praying silently that this doesn't turn the other way round again. He has been his puppy for so long, and at this point, he doesn't want to dance to his tune again, not when he knows that his daughter is going to be in trouble. He has been so cruel to the innocent girl and her brother when all they ever do is obey him, all because he was a coward. Now, he has made up his mind to stand up to his fear, and he doesn't care about whatever comes afterward. "How dare you, Kayden! How dare you say no to me? Have you forgotten everything that I have done for you? Have you...""And I have been trying everything to make sure that I repay you, haven't I? I have been your puppy for
Chapter 65"Do you want to hear the bad news?" The corner of his lips slowly twitches into a smirk, as she turns around to face her. Cassie glares hard at her, wondering where this woman is from. Yes, it's obvious that she's a werewolf, but what does she want from her? Why is she doing this to her? Those are the puzzles she has been trying to solve all to no avail. "Not that I care anyway," She scoffs and rolls her eyes, turning her face away, and Helga can't help the dry chuckle that escapes her lips. Easier said than done. Of course, she knows that this little lamb in front of her is just trying to be courageous in front of her, she knows that she cares so much about Damien, and by the time she learns the doom ahead of them, she'll realize that she does really cares. "You'll eventually do, Cassie. Alpha Damien and Dean are on their way here, along with his soldiers..." Helga pauses to observe the shocked expression that suddenly creeps up Cassie's face, and her heart sinks into he
