MATES FOR THE SINGLE MOM LUNA CHAPTER 59
Cassie’s POV"Mate?" Dax asked, looking puzzled. I realized what I had said and my eyes widened."I’m sorry; I meant my husband. I usually refer to him as my mate," I clarified quickly, hoping it didn’t sound too suspicious.Dax nodded, seemingly accepting the explanation. He had brought his car but had been advised not to drive yet due to his trauma. We didn’t want him reliving those painful memories behind the wheel."You’re looking better—less pale, and you’re not stuttering as much," I told him sincerely. "I’m glad to see you’re improving. I hope things continue to get better for you.""Maybe I’m heading in the right direction," he replied with a smile. "How about you? I don’t think you’re just drinking casually tonight. Do you need a sounding board?"I appreciated his attempt to engage me in conversation."Do you remember my boss?" I asked, though I was pretty sure he did.Dax’s smile faded immediately, and I couldn’t figure out why. "Your boss is quite annoying, isn’t he?" he sai

Cassie’s POVI felt relieved that we had reached an understanding. Despite my hectic work schedule, I still made time for Derek and occasionally accompanied him. He needed my support, and I felt a strong urge to help him, especially given the tough situation he was facing."You want a sandwich?" Dax asked, sitting on the couch with Charlie asleep on his lap."Let me make one for you. Charlie is sleeping on your lap, and we don’t want to wake him," I replied, heading to the kitchen.As I prepared the sandwich, I recalled that Chris was planning to visit the next day. He was doing better now, though he still needed to monitor his weight and overall health, as he had appeared quite ill when I first met him a month ago. I made sure he ate properly, rested enough, and took care of his mental health. It was reassuring to see him improving gradually.In my distraction, I hadn’t noticed I’d accidentally cut my finger. "Ow!" I exclaimed, realizing the sting. I had forgotten that the knife, a gi

Cassie’s POV"Take this, please." I heard Angel's voice as she stopped the car, and I didn’t realize I had been crying until then.I managed a weak laugh. "I’m sorry if I seem strange. I just miss my husband. If he were still here, maybe I’d be happier. Maybe if I had managed to save him…"Angel embraced me, offering the comfort I needed. "I know there are many uncertainties in our lives, and it makes us restless. If we could just travel back in time, we might be able to change our past. But we’re just ordinary people, with no choice but to move forward. I understand how heavy this feels. I’m my brother’s support, so I understand his pain, but don’t let it consume you." Her words made me feel better. The wounds in my soul and heart were starting to heal, becoming more bearable with time."As always, thank you for your kind words," I said. "If I hadn’t met you, I wouldn’t know where to start over. You help me have fun, enjoy life, do my job, and accomplish things that were difficult wit

Cassie’s POV"Is this about kissing that girl in the elevator?" Derek’s voice was sharp, as if trying to defend himself. "I’ve already explained; what more do I need to say to show you that I didn’t mean to hurt or disappoint you? I fired her. She’s not allowed near me again." His words were harsh, and I flinched at their intensity."Who said I was hurt?" I retorted, struggling to keep my composure. "I’m fine. You’re free—single, with a life to cherish. You should appreciate your time and effort. I’m just a secretary, someone you’ve known for a few months. It doesn’t make sense that you’re still investing time and energy into someone like me. I’m a single mother, Derek, and I don’t fit into your life or everything you have. I believe someone far better suited to you will come along in the future."I tried to push him away with my words, but the act of saying them hurt more than I expected."I’ll let you go for now," he said, his voice softening, "but that doesn’t mean I’ll stop pursuin

Cassie’s POVI was the sole reason Derek had left, the woman who had driven him away and made him promise never to contact me again. Strangely, this seemed to make it easier for me to move on, rather than clinging to a glimmer of hope.He never reached out to me again, and he never sought me out. Part of me had hoped he would come after me, but that never happened.Now, I was focused on starting anew. I arrived at my new workplace with the hope of a fresh beginning. As I stepped inside, I was greeted by a smiling guard. Angel, who had started a few weeks ago, was away running errands at another branch, so she wasn’t there to welcome me.It would have been a lie to say I wasn’t nervous. Despite being a werewolf, I felt as pale as a vampire. But it was now or never—either I would make this work, or I would falter. I hoped my new employer would be far better than Derek. I had learned my lesson the hard way and now knew where to draw the line.I entered the elevator, seeking comfort in the

Cassie’s POVI thought my new job would be more chaotic than the last one, but it turned out I encountered another unique and challenging supervisor. Dale is undeniably eccentric, but to my surprise, he’s far superior to Derek.Dale embodies all the legendary vampire traits one might expect. He’s tall and pale with dark raven-colored hair, sharp jawline, and almond eyes. His red, moist lips and captivating presence make him devilishly attractive, just like in vampire tales and movies."You know, Ms. Cassie," he said with a smirk, "you should confess what you really feel about me." He lounged at his desk, casually eating red apples and doing nothing. As aggravating as he could be, I knew he wasn’t alone."Shut up, jerk. If you keep talking like that, I’ll call Alice," I warned him. He laughed. Yes, I had met his human mate, Alice, who was truly wonderful. At least I didn’t have to worry about relationship troubles with him."You’ve been working here for a month," he continued, a peculia

Cassie’s POV"Ah, that’s a different story," Dale said with a smirk. "She’s one of the sassiest and most annoying people I’ve ever met, but she’s also very competent." I was flattered by his assessment."Are we able to bargain?" he proposed, locking his gaze on me."Of course!" I responded, surprised at my own eagerness.Dale vanished from the room in an instant, leaving Derek with a wide grin. However, my concern remained—Derek looked emaciated, exhausted, and in poor health."You need to start taking better care of yourself," I said, unable to mask my frustration. "I can’t believe you’ve let yourself get like this. You’ve always been someone who valued his health.""Of course," Derek murmured, his voice heavy with longing. "As long as you’re by my side, I’ll always have a reason to do well.""Have you eaten anything?" I asked, noticing his shaky response. I promptly ordered food, determined that he would eat well, regardless of the cost.When the food arrived, Derek devoured it quick

Cassie’s POVThey settled into the living area and started watching an action-packed movie. I’m not a fan of those; just seeing bullets and knives makes my teeth ache. I guess I’m still a bit traumatized from my days as a pack fighter, where hunters with silver weapons frequently injured me.Anyway, I’m in the kitchen preparing some dishes. Inspired by my dream, I’m making some of Kaiden’s favorite foods—meat-heavy with just a few vegetables."Your lunch is ready, boys!" I called out. "Please come and pause the movie for a bit."If you hadn’t noticed, Derek and Charlie have quite similar personalities. My son seems as perceptive as Derek. Or perhaps it’s just that Derek’s carefree side reminds me of Kaiden’s when he was with me...They sat down to eat and dove into their meals so quickly that they nearly choked."Slow down, gentlemen. There’s plenty of food," I reminded them."This is absolutely delicious!" Derek exclaimed, clearly pleased with the meal. His enjoyment warmed my heart.

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
MATES FOR THE SINGLE MOM LUNA CHAPTER 85
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
