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
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 oneStanding at the roadside with a heavy heart, tears well up in my eyes. I try flagging down a cab but none of them stop to take me. My legs wobble on the floor and my body quivers weakly as I feel my eyes heavy, but I try to keep them open. There's no way I am going to sleep on the road, right? Well, I had just received the beating of my life as usual and right now, I have to go to work if I don't want to be sacked, which means death for me. Wondering who beat me? Well, it's my father.After standing at the roadside for what seem like forever, I finally board a cab, and soon we are on the way to the bar where I work as a waitress. Well, I'm on the afternoon shift today and will be coming back home quite late in the night later.Resting my head on the window and looking out of it, tears well up in my eyes as the thought of my messed-up life come hitting at me. Unlike every other person out there living happily with their family, I am a curse to mine.Let me introduce myself
Chapter twoCassie POVI gulp down the lump in my throat as my body trembles in fear. I bat my eyelashes to wake myself from this nightmare but when I open my eyes, those preying eyes are still piercing at me dangerously like he is going to devour me anytime soon. I feel my heart thumping heavily against my chest like a ticking bomb waiting to explode, or maybe that is what I am right now, waiting for him to explode me."Do you want to die? Why are you staring at me?" His deep and domineering voice pierced through my ears, and I feel my heart skip like a million times."Please...please don't harm me... Please don't kill me... I was...I was..." I pause when a sudden violent wind fills the atmosphere, and I snap my head up to see that I'm the only one here now. He is gone.With all the strength left in me, I manage to stand up to my feet before I pick race, my feet touching my butt as I run as fast my legs can carry me.After running for what seemed like forever, I finally got home but
Chapter 3Cassie POVIt has been three months since the incident, but it's as if it just happened. It's still so fresh in my head. The scene keeps replaying in my head each time and the more I try getting it off my brain, the more difficult it seems to be. My life is still the same, nothing has changed over the months, it only got worsen and I have to take all the pain alone.I have no idea how long I'd sleep, but the sound of my blaring alarm pulls me back from dreamland, and forcing my eyes open, I groan tiredly. It's still early in the morning, but I have to get up and make something for the man of the house before he decides to give me the punishment of my life again.Standing up from the bed, I drag my feet into the bathroom and wash my face to get sleep off my eyes and once I am done, I head to the kitchen afterward. Stepping into the kitchen, I set to make breakfast.An hour and a half later, breakfast is all set and I walk back into my room to get ready for work afterward. I w
Chapter 4Cassie POV My heart skips at the sight I behold. Even if I am woken from sleep, I will always recognize this face. It's the mysterious man I bumped into a couple of months ago, no! This can't be. My heart races as I watch him walk up to us elegantly, there is a dark and intimidating aura surrounding him, which I can't decipher where it's coming from. How the heck did I end up here? My feet suddenly wobble on the floor as I feel my whole body shivering in fear, while I wait for what fate has in store for me. "Leave us," His cold and deep voice fills the air and my heart sinks into my stomach. I guess he is talking to the man that brought me in. Still staring down at my feet, I hear footsteps retreating and I need no one to tell me that the young man has gone out and the possibility of the two of us being alone in here, is certain. An awkward silence fills the atmosphere, and I bet that even if I am not looking at him, his gaze is all over me. "I'll state this straight. I
Chapter 5Cassie POV "Make yourself comfortable," She says to me and smiles at me before she finally ambles out of the room. I stare around for a while and sigh deeply. Why do I feel like I'm in the pit of hell? Why do I feel like my life is doomed? Well, I shouldn't be surprised though. Sitting on the edge of the soft and comfy bed, I stare into space as memories of the past came flashing back in my mind, I can't help the tears that roll down my cheeks. Why does my dad have to hate me to the point of this? Why does he have to hate his daughter so much to the point of selling her off to a stranger whom he knows nothing about? Is this how much of a plague I am to him? I know this is my fate and I have to accept it no matter how much I try to think about it, but then it still hurts me. I was rejected by my father, the only family I have and the only person that supposed to give me all the love and attention in the world. 'It's not worth it," I try to convince myself, wiping off the t
Chapter 6Cassie POV It take a whole forty-eight hours before we finally arrive at the country we were heading to. At some point in the journey, I was wondering if we are still on earth or have gone to another planet. You won't blame me, right? That was the longest journey of my life. We finally arrive at the strange place, and I must confess that I feel so weird being here. Strangely, we didn't take a single belonging from the mansion and it's kind of driving me crazy now. What the heck is going on? As much as I want to feed my curiosity and ask questions, I dare not to. Just the look on the mysterious man's face sends shivers down my spine. I wonder what his name is. As the car drives down the road, I keep observing the area as I stare out through the window. Unlike other places that are filled with houses, this place is strangely filled with nothing, but plants and wild animals. I cringe when I see a deer. As the car drives farther in the rough and bushy route, my hope of seein

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
