MATES FOR THE SINGLE MOM LUNA CHAPTER 23
Cassie’s POVI imagined the face of his brother, Xander. There was still no evidence yet, but I was certain he was the traitor. He had every reason to loathe his brother. Jealousy was a fire that burned all personal desires, turning them into the walking corpse of a blind monster, destroying everything for the sake of ambition.We needed to get back inside, but I remembered that it was the first night of spring. Some of the pack warriors and people were going to the hunting grounds. Because of the existing threat, it was mandated that every hunter have a warrior to ensure their safety. We had invested in learning how to send signals if there were enemies.We had been informed that rogues had a way of blocking the echo of our growl with a magic stone that blocked any sound in the mountain forest, which was why we could not respond to any calls for help. The sign that they were getting smarter was also a sign that they were getting help from outside. That was terrifying indeed."Kaiden,

Cassie’s POVHe finished his cup of tea and said his farewell. I gulped and took a deep breath, collecting my thoughts and considering what was next. He didn't sound like he was kidding or playing a prank. I knew he was serious, and what he said was for my benefit. Renton helped me and assured me that I could avoid it—death.I walked to the window and saw the light of the moon. The cold breeze touched my skin. I silently whispered into the thin air, "Luna, I hope our goddess still protects us. I hope she will not let us fall into despair over the creatures made by her mortal enemy." I closed the window and went to bed.I woke up in the middle of the night to a tingling sensation on my neck. Someone was kissing me, and I felt lips pressing on my navel, sending thousands of sparkles through my body."Hm," I moaned as he kissed deeper on my skin. I felt his wet tongue traveling on my body, kissing me, and his scent was still the same, making me fall for him over and over again."Damn, I w

Cassie’s POVHe sighed. "The doctor is still in the lab, getting the results. Whatever the outcome, I will do everything to save you. Even if I have to sacrifice my life, I will do it," he promised.I shook my head and gave him a weak smile. "I am not worthy of your life. If I have a deadly sickness, just continue what you’ve started.""But I cannot live without you!" he exclaimed, his eyes filled with hurt."Can we stop all this cringing moment? No one is going to die. This is a clinic, not a theater with a romance theme play," said Mike, Kaiden's most trusted friend and one of our pack doctors who had come from England just this month."Tell me what happened to my wife! Why did she faint!?" Kaiden demanded, his voice tense."Can you unmarry this shy mate of yours, Cassie? I know it is still not too late for you to change your mind," Mike said in exasperation."If you find your mate, I swear to our Luna that you will also change your perspective about all of this behavior," I retorted

Cassie’s POVI couldn't help but rest for a few days. If my mate had been a strict husband before, now he was even stricter, knowing I was carrying the possible next alpha of our pack. The confinement to our room made me restless; staring out the window and reading books was becoming tiresome.A knock on the door revealed Rea, carrying a tray with my current cravings: cheesecake and a banana milkshake. I chuckled at the thought of our pup being as white as milk with eyes like golden cheese. What a strange but endearing image!"Luna, the Clark family will arrive today. The announcement of your pregnancy will happen this evening," Rea informed me as she placed the food on the table.I smiled. "Thank you, Rea. Can you also send this letter to my father's house? I'm looking forward to my family knowing the news too.""As you wish, Luna," she replied and left.Alone again, I savored the cheesecake. It wouldn’t surprise me if I gained weight from all this indulgence. My slower metabolism and

Cassie’s POVSuddenly, a sharp pain shot through my stomach. Xander's dark, devious face softened, and he slipped back into his usual mask. I could tell his acting skills had kicked in once more."You should be glad you’re carrying my nephew or niece. Maybe I’ll spare you this time. Your title as Luna won’t save you if I decide to snap your neck." He sighed and left with his wicked smile.I wasn’t scared, just mad. I swore I would bring him down, shattering his ego into pieces. That bastard!"Babe?" Kaiden’s voice called out, instantly calming my raging storm."Babe!" I said, walking toward him. He embraced me, sensing my distress."Is something wrong? You look pale and you're trembling. Did someone threaten you? Who is it?" His gaze sharpened, ready to protect me."Calm down. No one tried to harm or threaten me. I can handle myself. Remember, I was a pack warrior before marrying you, Mr. Big Guy." I tried to lighten the mood with a joke."I see. We should head back to the living room.

Cassie’s POVCompared to human pregnancies, female werewolves carried their child for just five months. This month, we were eagerly anticipating the arrival of our newest family member. My belly had grown significantly, and it was normal for me to be unable to walk much at this point. My skin was pale, and dark circles had formed under my eyes due to sleepless nights. This pregnancy was truly hard.I endured the pain of constant discomfort every single night, especially after the third month. It was not easy. As I sat on a wooden chair, looking at my reflection, I saw a restless woman who knew it was worth it. I had never considered myself a woman of ethereal beauty, but now I looked worse than ever. However, I didn’t feel insecure or lacking. Every day, my mate made me feel like the most precious gem he would cherish and protect at all costs.I felt a pair of warm hands on my shoulders. From the scent, I knew it was Kaiden."If I could just take away the pain," he said with a worried

Cassie’s POVThey both gazed at our son, and for one of the few times, I saw the alpha with a look of genuine happiness and vulnerability. Our previous alpha, Kaiden's father, was known for being kind yet somewhat ruthless. I had witnessed his devilish side when dealing with traitors and fighting for territory against rogues. He was a formidable leader, and while Kaiden hadn’t yet reached his father's level of prowess, I knew my husband would grow as a warrior and leader, and I would stand by his side forever."My grandson surely looks like me. He inherited my handsome looks and will have my strong physique," the alpha proclaimed proudly.But my dad, never one to back down, contradicted him. "Looking more closely, I can say he has my eyes and nose," he said, equally proud and competitive."Dad/Father," Kaiden and I muttered simultaneously. Thankfully, they came back to their senses and resumed their usual friendly banter."I suddenly feel old now," my brother Tom remarked."Maybe you s

Cassie’s POV"Go... Leave this place; be happy."Why? Why is my husband so selfish? How can he leave us?"No! Get up; we will leave this place alive! Do not dare leave me alone! I can't live without you.""But you have to, for our son. He needs you, and please be happy without me. I am not the most perfect mate and father, but I am happy to die for the sake of your lives."I felt like my soul had left my body as I slowly knelt on the ground. My voice was fading away as I awakened from that long nightmare. I was still crying, and my heart felt heavy.I couldn't stop my tears from falling, breaking down too much because of a damn dream."Cassie? Babe, why are you crying?" Kaiden asked as he appeared at the door.I hugged him so tightly, like I didn't want to lose him. "Please don't go. Don't leave us!" I said, still crying like a baby."And where the hell would I go? I’m not planning to go anywhere else. This place is my heart, you, and our son. There is no better place than here."His v

MATES FOR THE SINGLE MOM LUNA CHAPTER 88
Cassie’s POVThe day Derek and Dax accepted their new roles as both humans and werewolves marked a significant turning point. My father, my brothers, and I took it upon ourselves to teach them about our culture—what is right and wrong, the taboos, and the essence of being a werewolf: our love for the moon, our bond with the forest, and our partnership with nature.Recently, the attacks have become more frequent, and it’s clear that we need to relocate for real. Xander and his supporters are sending threats and unleashing dangerous creatures with one goal in mind: to kill me and those I care about. This is something I will never allow. I love my family, especially my only son and the two men who have taught me a new definition of love. I refuse to repeat the mistakes of the past.Xander should brace himself because he won’t know what’s coming. I plan to personally see to it that he pays for his actions. A man like him deserves no mercy. Driven by jealousy, he murdered his own brother, w

Cassie’s POV"What! But you should assist me!" the vampire shouted, clearly agitated. At that moment, I could barely tolerate his presence."If I hear you spreading unnecessary information about me to Dax, Derek, or anyone else, I swear it’ll be the last thing you do. I’m not joking," I warned him."What?! I didn’t say anything," he protested, though I could see through his feigned innocence. I knew Dax wouldn’t lie to me; he had no reason to."Huh, so you’re the one who mentioned that my life is in danger and that they should protect me?" I asked. "They don’t need to be involved in this. This is my battle, not theirs. But since you’ve already spoken out, I have to address it.""I think it’s better for them to be aware. The more they know, the harder it will be for them to lower their guard. This isn’t just about your past or your personal conflict. Once they start caring about you, they’re already involved," he said. He made a good point, even if it annoyed me."But I don’t want to i

Cassie’s POV"Let’s take a break, son," I suggested, noticing we had been practicing for almost three hours. It was time for some rest."Mom," Charlie said, his smile brightening as he looked out at the expansive woodland. "You’re growing up, and I feel like I’m not doing a great job as your mother," I admitted honestly. I felt I wasn’t fulfilling my role as a mother to my beloved son, Charlie.My son wiped away my tears, kissed them, and gave me a reassuring grin. "Mom, you don’t have to apologize. There’s nothing to apologize for. I love you, and I appreciate everything you do for me. If I have a mom in my next life, I’d choose you over and over again," he said, causing me to cry even more."Please stop crying, Mom. I promised Dad I’d protect you and make sure you’re happy no matter what," he continued. It amazed me how mature he had become so quickly. I felt my age more keenly at that moment."You promised that to your father, but I promise to protect you no matter what as well. So

Cassie’s POVMy eyes were tired from crying and staying up too late. I wasn’t feeling well and decided it was the right time to request a leave of absence. Despite werewolves typically having excellent stamina and health, we’re not invincible. Like all creatures, we have our weaknesses. For werewolves, a fragile heart can be our downfall, and right now, mine felt incredibly delicate.I was struggling with emotional sickness again, feeling so heavy and weak that I couldn’t get out of bed. The cold was a result of my forgetting to close the window last night. I asked Angel to cover my schedule for the time being, promising to return the favor. I was grateful she agreed, but my severe headache was making me extremely lethargic."Mom," Charlie knocked gently on the door. I told him to come in."Are you sick, Mom?" he asked, brushing his hand against my forehead. His concern touched me deeply, but I didn’t want him to worry too much. I had to remind myself that I was strong."I’m fine, swee

Cassie’s POVAfter leaving work, I decided to do some grocery shopping. I was still a bit taken aback by Dax becoming my new boss, but I understood what Angel and Dale meant. Dax was someone kind and close to my heart, and I completely agreed with that. I actually liked the idea of him being my boss—thank goodness."Angel, I’m so shocked to learn everything," I said, while Damon pushed our cart loaded with vegetables, fruits, and various types of meat. My new condominium unit was three times as large as the previous one, and I needed to restock supplies and prepare dinner. My son was growing so fast that he needed a lot of nutrients."Yeah, Dax knows you dislike surprises, but he was worried that if you found out he’d be your new boss, you might leave or disagree," Angel murmured. I looked at her in disbelief."Why would I do that?" I asked. Dax was a great guy whom I trusted, and I knew he’d treat me well, so I couldn’t see any reason for me to be against having him as my new boss."W

Dax’s POV"So, you’re the real owner of the company, huh? All along, Dale was just your proxy. What made you decide to reveal this now?" Derek asked, his voice laden with curiosity and a hint of suspicion. We were seated in our usual café, a cozy place with a warm ambiance that had become our go-to spot for conversations about our complex lives.I could feel the heat rising in my cheeks. The truth was that my main reason for taking on the position was to spend more time with Cassie. It was something I hadn't fully admitted before, but it was time to come clean. Since we had agreed to share our feelings with Cassie equally, there was no point in hiding anything from Derek anymore."Well, it’s primarily because I wanted to spend more time with Cassie. But also, I wanted the financial resources and influence to spoil Cassie and Charlie just like you do," I confessed in one breath. The words tumbled out before I could second-guess them. Derek’s reaction was immediate; he spilled his coffee

Cassie’s POVI took a cab to the company building, feeling a surge of anxiety as I arrived. I almost backed out. It was frustrating that they had kept my new boss a secret. I had already made it clear how much I disliked surprises.As I entered the elevator, I silently prayed to the goddess that my boss would be someone I could tolerate—someone friendly and serious about work, and not a creep, as that would test my patience.When I reached the top floor and stood in front of the boss's office, my nerves were on edge. I had faced many challenges in my life; this should be manageable.To my surprise, Dax was sitting in the CEO’s swivel chair. Dressed in a sharp suit, he looked dazzling and charming. I couldn’t help but blush, realizing I had been staring at him longer than I intended."Dax, what are you doing here? And I must say, you look fantastic in that suit," I remarked, genuinely admiring his appearance.Dax scratched the back of his head, looking slightly embarrassed. "The truth i

Cassie’s POV"But what about my brother and dad? I don’t want to move too far from them," I said, voicing my concern. Marcus, ever confident, chuckled."We’re moving as well, so don’t be sad. I know you’ll miss your handsome brothers," Marcus said, his arrogance shining through."Whatever, Marcus. But I can sense that Derek owns that condo building, doesn’t he?" I said, having uncovered their plan. They must have anticipated I’d be hesitant."Don’t worry, I’m not angry. Although, I do plan to give Dale a hard time for lying to me so much today," I said, glaring at the sneaky vampire hiding behind my son."I can help with that," Derek offered, raising his hand."You traitor! This was all your idea," Dale said, feigning tears.I decided to ignore the further discussion. Dale’s chatter was giving me a headache. It was time to open my gifts. The important people in my life had given me a very comfortable chair, and they lined up to present their gifts. My son’s gift was especially touching

Cassie’s POV"It’s alright, don’t be upset," I reassured Derek, trying to ease his mood. "Tonight is my birthday, and I want everyone to share in my happiness. This moment is incredibly special to me." It seemed I had managed to bring a smile to his face. Derek, with his intense and sometimes risky demeanor, also had a softer, more vulnerable side that I had come to appreciate."How about me?" Dax asked, looking as if he didn’t want to be left out. His puppy-dog eyes made me smile. I patted his head affectionately. "Good boy. Now, shall we eat? I’m starving," I said, and they guided me to our table."Mom!" Charlie’s voice cut through my thoughts. He looked incredibly handsome in his white suit. "My son looks dashing!" I exclaimed. "You may be young, but your smile can capture anyone’s heart." He blushed at my compliment."Mom, you’re beautiful too," Charlie said, handing me a small box. "I hope you like this." I was deeply touched. It reminded me of the times when Kaiden and Charlie wo
