**Casssie’s Pov**I saw myself running in the middle of the night. I am sweating so much, and I cannot feel the lower part of my body because maybe I am too exhausted.I have no idea why I am running this fast, why I am so afraid, or who these creatures are trying to chase me down.I ran into a thick branch of a tree and managed to hide for a while. I took some mud from the ground and put it on my body. If they are werewolves like me, they have an incredible sense of smell."You can hide, little lamb! But don't you dare think that you can escape from me?" That voice is not familiar, but I have no idea why it does give me an extreme shiver down my spine.I close my mouth using my arms. He is dangerous; if he manages to catch me, he will surely kill me, but why? Who is he?Before I managed to run again, someone held my arms, and I tried to punch him. I managed to wake up from that nightmare, but the truth is, I punch someone in real life."I am so sorry!" It is Dax, and it looks like I
**Cassie’s POV**His question is not something that I can easily answer. Because I also asked that myself.What is holding me back from love again? Or is this love? Should I forget him to open another chapter in my life? Is that how it works? I don't know; I am also confused.But all of my worries turned into bubbles and disappeared immediately as Derek suddenly pulled me into a tight embrace."Don't mind my question; I am not forcing you, and I don't want to pressure you. I want you to know that I can be content with you being on my side rather than not being with you. I just wanted to tell you that the darkest day of my life was when you left me, and I thought I would never see you again. So don't mind my question; I will wait as long as you are by my side. After all, I am not planning to give up, but to show you how much I love you," Derek said to me in the most sincere way I could ever ask for.When he said those words to me, I felt like I could finally breathe again. I hope he wi
**Cassie’s POV**Well, at least they are getting closer. Now it reminds me of how close they were back then. I mean, my mates, Kaiden and Damon, I can see them that way, like they are long-lost brothers, and that's amazing to me, to be honest.Now I let them bond. My son, too, is enjoying their company, so I have no problem with that. Now I am preparing for our lunch because it will not be too long.While chopping some onions, I saw Damon coming here into the kitchen with the plates and utensils they use. Art brought some pastries; that is why."Put those on the sink; I will wash the dishes later," I said to him with a smile on my face."How could I? You are the Luna; I can't let you do some work; it will be embarrassing to the memory of the late Alpha," he said while starting to wash the dishes. This guy never changes his principles in life. I know that he is still loyal to my mate."I am so thankful that you stood with my mate until his last breath; I wish I was too; maybe I will ha
**Dax's POV**My name is Dax Wood, and I currently reside in Claybourne City. I am a former member of the military who is part-American and half-Mexican. It had been less than a year since that unfortunate event occurred. In my head, everything is still as distinct as if it were made of glass. I am aware of how hazardous the nature of my work used to be. I swore an oath to defend the nation in every way possible, even if it meant giving up my own life. But I had no idea that it would turn out to be so incredibly different from what I had imagined it would be.I am a member of a special unit that is currently engaged in combat during a war. The sounds of a fire gun and explosions are never something I find myself missing. I was under the impression that designing was a component of my commitment; however, I had no idea that when I opened my eyes, I would see, I would watch, and I would be unable to do anything other than watch as terrorists ruthlessly murdered my soldiers, my friend,
**Derek’s POV**I am Derek, a well-known business tycoon, a popular personality in different fields, and someone that every woman will wish to be their lover. But I never settle for anyone because I do not believe it is worth it.I have the looks, the money, the body, the reputation, and the fame. I do not think that settling down with any woman is something that I should do since it is simply not me.I remember that night. I was so drunk, and I am so stubborn not to get a driver and recklessly drive. That gave me a life lesson. I thought that was my last party, my last night, and my last time to have fun because I can still remember how severe that car accident was. I can only feel pain; my blood is dripping all over my body. I thought that was my end, and I would be sent to hell.But I saw a man and a woman talking about something that I cannot remember anymore. The only thing that matters is that I am alive and kicking—maybe not kicking since the doctor said that it is a miracle th
**Cassie’s Pov**We have no idea, but suddenly I felt chills running down my body as I could sense two werewolves in this building. It is both familiar and unfamiliar. This is odd because I can also feel that they are not a bad person or something, but I think our situation right now does not accept only hunches. I need to ensure the safety of my family, especially my son."Dad, please go to the other room; I will see who those unwanted visitors of ours are," I said to them. They look worried, but I just nodded, and they know that I can manage.I slowly left my apartment room and went silently to Dax’s apartment. Is he safe? Why does this smell so bad? Those werewolves are amateurs if they can’t hide their smell, especially if they are here for the sake of killing us.I sighed, took a good momentum before kicking the door, and I saw the shocked expressions of Damon, Dax, and Derek. I once again sniffed the air because I thought something was wrong with my senses. Did I just make a mis
**Cassie’s POV**I woke up in a strange fancy room. I can see that I am inside a very luxurious hotel room if I am not mistaken. But why would a very rich human, just a conclusion, will kidnap me?I look in the mirror and I am now dressed in a pretty dress. It is a white, above-the-knee dress, and it made me even more confused knowing that the agenda of the kidnappers start to be vague. It is my birthday today! What the hell?I went to the door, and surprisingly it is not locked so I opened it. I became alert when I saw that there is no one in this corridor, such, as there are flower trails on the red carpet. I think I am seeing where it will go now.I follow the trail until I reached a very big door. As I opened it, there is a fancy party inside that big room. I think I am not supposed to be here.I tried to back away, but I was bumped into a hard wall or rather a hard chess. It is no other than Derek and Dax wearing a fancy suit, looking as handsome as ever.“Someone can care to exp
**Cassie’s POV**Well, at least my days became more peaceful. I think slowly and surely I can admit and accept the fact that I am falling in love again. My only concern now is whether I should choose I like them both. I mean, it sounds so greedy to love them both, but I truly want them for myself alone.It is not weird for me since sometimes werewolves have two fated pairs, but these two men in my life were not werewolves from the start. They might think it is weird that I want polyfidelity."Is it because it is cold, or your face is so frozen that I am getting a brain freeze just looking at you?" Dale teased me while he was raising his eyebrows. Funny."Shut up. Don’t I ask you to sign the pending documents at your office? The deadline will be an hour from now," I said to him. Is he really my boss? He is always slacking and just walking round and round. He gets on my nerves most of the time."Chill, after all, you will have a new boss starting next week," he said to me like he just d
