Cassie’s POV

Compared 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

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

    Cassie’s POVI leaned on the balcony, gazing at the stars. The mountain where our pack territory was located provided a stunning view of the night sky, making the stars seem almost unreal. Every night, I wished for safety and peace, hoping our Luna would bless us. The ongoing war between our kind, the humans who knew about us, and the bloodthirsty rogues felt like an unstoppable force."Hey," Kaiden muttered next to my ear. Deep in thought, I hadn't noticed him approach."How many times do I have to tell you not to worry about such things? It will never happen," he reassured me.I smiled. "I was thinking about the upcoming Alpha Meeting. I can't help but reflect on how peaceful our lives are now. It wasn't like this five years ago. Back then, we were constantly stressed by the increasing number of rogue attacks, the fallen pack warriors who sacrificed their lives for us, and all the obstacles that nearly drove us insane."He hugged me.

As I stepped into the chaos, it was like seeing the entire nightmare that had haunted me for the past six years come to life.My heart sank in pain as I saw lifeless bodies scattered on the ground. Pack warriors fought for their lives, their blood painting a grim picture of the battlefield. I saw my father and brother Tom running towards me, worry etched on their blood-soaked faces."Why are you here? You have to hide in the underground! It’s not safe here," my father said, exhausted from fighting.I took a spear from a fallen pack warrior and looked fierce, clenching my jaw. "I cannot stand waiting for nothing. I can fight too." My life would be meaningless if I just watched countless lives lost to this tragedy.Ignoring my father and brother's protests, I charged at the nearest enemy, stabbing him in the heart. The battle grew bloo

"Show yourself!"Xander walked out of the forest with a smug expression. I wanted to punch him, rip his head off, and feed it to wild animals. I wanted to make him suffer. He did everything for the sake of his goal, sacrificing hundreds of lives for his ambition."You heartless bastard! How can you do this to your brother? You fucker!" I tried to charge at him, to fight him.But I was stopped by a sharp pain in my back. I slowly kneeled on the ground, blood dripping from my mouth."You have not recovered yet, and fighting me will not gain you anything. You will not bring back my brother’s life by fighting me with your fists and claws."Perhaps I am truly heartless, but I am still merciful for lettin

    Cassie’s POVThe next morning, even though the sun had not yet risen and it was still dark outside, I managed to wake my son from his sleep, and we prepared to leave. I wanted to get away from this place as soon as possible for many reasons. The first was for the safety of my son and my family. The second was that I wanted to forget, even though I knew it was impossible.No matter how much I denied it, I couldn't forget him, and I never would. Kaiden had always been my first and last love. Maybe I would stay alive for my son and strive to fulfill my purpose as a mother, but love would never be on the list again."Let's go," I said to my son. Charlie was a smart kid. I knew he understood the situation well."Do we have to leave, Mom?""We need to, or else I will..." I stopped midway through saying those words. "Let's go, son; there is still hope for us."I looked back at this place for the last time, hoping it would never be a nightmare again.It felt nostalgic to ride in this car. I co

At least I could still remember Kaiden's face because of my son.I smiled sadly, but quickly changed my expression. I didn't want him to see me sad. "What do you want for breakfast, my little young man?" I asked. He smiled and asked for crispy fried bacon and ham.I accompanied him to the bathroom and let him do his morning routine. After freshening up, we were good to go. The apartment had plenty of appliances and things, provided by Uncle Mason. We had a fridge and gas stove, so cooking breakfast wasn't a problem.I sighed, thinking about how it had only been a few weeks since Kaiden was gone. It felt off—not just off, but empty inside our hearts."Mom?" Charlie walked toward me and wiped my tears. He smiled and nodded. "We can make it through, Mom. Don’t be sad, because I won’t be sad anymore. I love you, Mom. Don’t leave

To be perfectly honest, if we talk about strength, I can finish arranging this apartment alone, but since I am emotionally unstable and still dealing with mental health, I can't let go of her offer. She is cleaning the kitchen while I am arranging the single bedroom. I am a bit embarrassed because this is our first meeting, and she has to deal with all of this. But I can see that she is also happy and nice about all of this.For some refreshments, I began pouring a cup of lemonade into a glass. I hand it to her after she cleans the floor. "I am sorry if you have to put off your day with this," I said to her.She cocks her head. "I offered, so there is nothing to say sorry for. You know, my mother is also a single mom. I do not want to ask because your privacy matters, but I am not wrong, right? I hope I am not offending you," she said, biting her lips. I can see that she does not want to offend me, and

    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.

    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

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

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

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
