(Cassie's POV)

“Happy birthday...” I heard a voice whisper.

I slowly opened my eyes and saw Jace smiling at me. I smiled back and he helped me up.

“I better get going. Michael's freaking out already” he chuckled, kissing my temple.

“Why would Michael be freaking out?” I asked, throwing my hair in a messy bun.

Jace gave me a confused look.

“What?” I asked, pinning the bun. “I just asked why Michael would be...”

Then it hit me.

How could I possibly forget?!

“Oh my goodness! Today's the wedding?!” I cried out.

“You forgot?” he asked.

“What?! No” I lied.

Jace chuckled.

“What are you still doing here anyway? Go already, the best man can't be late” I said and pushed him out the door.

I hurried to take a quick shower and decided to dress there so I don't waste time. Thankfully, my bump doesn't really show in the dress.

I fixed my hair and put on some makeup before slipping on my shoes. I grabbed my purse and headed out to my parent's house.

    3 years later...(Cassie's POV) “Honey please stay still. You'll wrinkle your dress” I groaned as I tried to comb Mia's hair. “Mom, it hurts!” she whined and pulled away. “Well you didn't want to use the de-tangling shampoo, remember?” I scolded. “C'mon, we have to hurry before your sister wakes up.”I grabbed her hand. “Noooo, I don't wanna. It hurts!” she whined louder“Oh, Mia...”A loud cry came from my room and I knew the little one was awake. “Mom! There's no toilet paper!” Max cried out. I groaned and looked at Mia who sat there rubbing her head. I opened my mouth to scold her when Kristie walked in. “I've got it Mrs. Graham, don't worry,” she said, taking the brush from my hand. I sighed. “Go check up on the baby,” she told me. I nodded and gave her a grateful look before walking into the nursery. “Momma!” she let out when she saw me. “Mommy's here baby” I cooed and picked her up. I kissed her and wiped her tears. She buried her face in the crook of my neck and I g

Cassie sighed and entered her parent's room. She grabbed the clothes and threw them into the luggage. “Try folding them first, honey” her mother cautioned. “Why do you have to go anyway?” Cassie asked, clearly upset.

    Eight years later~Florida~ (Cassie's POV) I closed my locker to find Isabel standing there. “No,” I told her, knowing very well what she was about to propose. “Oh c'mon, Cassia. It's going to be fun!”I arched my eyebrow. “Don't call me that” I warned. “And I am not letting you borrow one of the dresses I made for some party.”“Please?” she begged giving me her puppy eyes. I really couldn't resist it. “Fine” I agreed. “Just this time.”“Yayy!” she exclaimed. “But you're buying me lunch” I announced and pulled her towards the cafeteria. “Aw!” she whined. We headed to the back table of the cafeteria where our friend group usually hung. Helen was the only one seated. “Hey!” we greeted and sat down. “Can I borrow forty bucks?” Elena asked, ignoring the greeting. I gave her a look. “Nevermind” she pouted, rolling her eyes. “Well, senior year isn't that exciting” Forrest sighed joining us. She made the cutest face when she was upset. “Well, I can't wait for it to end” Jay,

    (Jace's POV) “Dude, you've gotta break up with her today” Michael Clearwater, my best friend, said to me. I kept thinking about the dreams I had been having. It was the same thing all over again. There was this girl; but not my girlfriend, Montana. This girl was much prettier and her presence was almost divine. I couldn't remember her face clearly but I couldn't forget those eyes which shone brightly like the stars and her long golden... “Jace! Are you even listening to me, man?” Michael chuckled; his voice ripping through my thoughts. I nodded. “So where is it gonna be?” he asked. “How about you take her to dinner, then end it with her?”I was about to refuse the idea of dinner when I spotted her coming. Micheal did too and made a face. “I'll see you later,” he said to me and left the two of us alone. “What did he want?” Montana asked. I chuckled. “He's my best friend Mo. After tonight, he's going to be my Beta. I don't think he needs any reason to talk to me.”She flipped

    (Cassie's POV)I closed the door behind me and leaned against it for a while. Today was the worst day. I pulled myself inside and slowly settled into the couch. “Is that you Cassandra?” I heard my grandmother ask.“Yes Abuela” I answered. “I have a lot of homework so I'll be in my room okay?” I added and locked the front door before heading upstairs. I locked my bedroom door and flung myself down on the bed. I eyed my sewing machine and sighed. I had to find a day to clean up my room. My closet wasn't big enough to fit all the new clothes I was making.I felt a pee sting and began to slip off my shoes when my phone began to ring. I answered it. “Unlock the door,” she said. “I'm not going, Isabel. That wasn't the deal.”She's quiet for a while. “Fine!”Then she hung up. I rolled my eyes and made my way to the bathroom to pee. Walking back out, I found her going through my clothes. “Black or yellow?” she asked, holding out two dresses. “How'd you get in?” I asked.“The window.

    “Where on earth did you disappear to?” Isabel asked walking up to Cassandra. “Home” she replied. “I felt uncomfortable and threatened, so I had to leave.”“I'm sorry” Isabel apologized. “No. I should have never let you talk me into it in the first place” Cassie sighed. “How about I buy you lunch today? Just to say I'm sorry and I promise never to force you to do anything again.”Cassandra smiled at her friend. “Okay.”“Great, I'll just go get my purse. Don't move” Isabel said and scurried off. Cassandra paced up and down the school's parking lot, going through the mail.“Hey, you!” someone yelled from behind her.She jumped and turned to see the boy from the party making his way towards her. She tried to get away but he grabbed her just in time. “What do you want?” Cassandra asked, trying to get out of his grip. “The truth” he responded curtly. Cassandra looked away. “You were in my room the other night right?”“No” she lied. He tightened his grip around her wrist and she fr

    (Cassie's POV) “Attention! Principal Fricks wants all senior years, gathered in the auditorium now!” Mr. Foyer announced through the speakerphone. We all exchanged glances. “What do you think it is?” I asked.“We won't know until we actually go in” Jay suggested. Helen shouldered me out of the way. “Hey watch it!” Forrest warned. She didn't bother to turn or stop. “Just ignore her,” I said. Jay chuckled. “She's just mad 'cause Isabel totally went all 'mom crazy' on her,” he said. “That was weeks ago,” Forrest said. Isabel nudged me and gestured for me to look. Helen had a tongue down a boy's throat. I made a face. “Who's that?” Forrest asked. “Blake. And he's a freshman” Isabel replied. I gave her a look. She looked back and shrugged. “I have a lot of free time,” she said. “And I can bet you my last dollar that she's going to gamble all his money away.”“Hey, let's get going,” Jay said and took the lead. We followed. The hall was half full when we entered. The principa

    “Cassandra, please open the door” Isabel called out, gently knocking on the door. She stayed in bed, her thoughts being the only thing keeping her company for the five school days she'd been 'feeling sick'. Isabel bit her lip. “How about some fresh air huh? It'll just be the two of us at the park just like the old times.”Cassandra did want the old times back. Where she would have never met Jace or Montana. Where she wasn't forced to grow up and where her parents and brother were alive. But that was impossible now. “Cassandra Martinez! If you don't open this door right now, I swear to God that I am going to—”“Go away Isa” her best friend croaked out. “I told you I have the flu and it's contagious so I can't let you in; not through the door, not through the window.”Isabel sighed. “A flu? Shouldn't you see a doctor before you decide you have a flu?”Cassandra tossed in bed. “I'm just going to sleep it off, Isa.”“For how long?”Cassandra sighed. “Just please leave me alone for

    (Cassie's POV)I groaned and got back under the covers.Covers?!I forced my eyes open and the bright light from the windows blinded me. I groaned again as my stomach let out a rumble and pulled myself to sit up.A lady dressed in white stood up and walked towards me with a wide smile plastered on her face. I rubbed my temple.“How're you feeling Ms. Adler?” she asked.“How long have I been asleep?”“Only two days” she replies. Only?! Which means all the other packs were gone by now. I eyed her before speaking up again. She's pretty. “Who are you?”“I'm Sharon. Doctor Elise asked me to stay with you till you wake up.” “Well, now I'm up so you can go. Thank you, but your service isn't needed anymore” I said firmly, groaning a little. “Sharon's not going anywhere” my dad's voice boomed from the doorway. “Mr. Adler” Sharon greeted and bowed down at him. “She's been recommended by Elise so she stays till you're better.”“Daddy, I don't need a nanny. I can take very good care of my

    (Cassie's POV)News traveled fast in our pack. Everyone came to express their sympathy, acting like my baby was dead. I walked out of the gym through the door of the pack house and everyone stopped to bow to me as I passed by. Not forgetting to add sympathetic looks. I moved into the living room and dropped on the couch, avoiding eye contact with everyone. The door leading to Jace's office was wide open. I saw him standing behind his desk flipping through some paperwork. Max and Mia left with Emily and Nicole back to London for their safety. Jude was nowhere to be found and André decided to stay back. Cassidy was in a wheelchair... but only temporarily. I glanced at Michael as he passed. He smiled sadly at me before walking into Jace's office. “Jace” he called when he entered. Jace looked up and raised his eyebrows. “Yeah?” he said impatiently. “We think we picked up a scent trail on your daughter.”I sat upright as Jace walked around the desk and stood right in front of Micha

    (Cassie's POV) I stood in the doorway of the bedroom and stared at him in awe. He was so adorable when he was sleeping. Max looked so much like him. I smiled to myself as a mischievous grin appeared on my face. “Jace!” I screamed as I jumped on top of his sleeping.He grabbed me and threw me underneath him, his hand over my mouth. I waved. “Really?” he chuckled and climbed off me. I laughed. “I'm sorry, it's just that you looked so good sleeping, I just had to”. He looked down at me. “I'm sorry!” I cried playfully and hugged him. “Don't be mad, please?” I said in a tiny voice and pecked his cheek. He grinned. “You're weird as shit,” he said between laughs and I nodded in agreement. He pulled me in for a hug. “I love you” I breathed in his chest as he kissed my forehead. “Me more” he replied. “Go take a shower,” I said and let him go. (Jace's POV) Once I was done showering, I called out to Cassandra to hand me a towel which she did. I stepped out in my boxers and saw her

Standing in front of the mirror, tilted her head.“No,” she said and took it off.She tried on another dress.“No!” she screamed and dropped on the bed.Alec rolled his eyes and continued to cut through the paper.“I have nothing to wear for tonight! Alec help me” she pleaded.He ignored her and continued to cut the paper.“Give my back my scissors!” she said and took back her scissors.“What do you want me to do?” he asked with a sigh. “What is the matter with you?”“I'll tell you. I don't like how you treat Cassandra. She's our sister for Pete's sake! And I don't like you hanging around with Blair. She's changing you; you're changing. You're not the big sister I looked up to and admired anymore. You're a spoilt little brat and I can't live with you anymore” he said and grabbed his pillow. “What are you doing?” Cassidy asked. “Alec, I am speaking to you!”“I'm going to Cassandra's. I don't wanna be roommates anymore.”Cassidy's face fell.“I'll c

Her face... all bruised up.“Oh,” they chorused.“I thought I told you to rest,” Elise said firmly.“I don't need to rest. I'm fine” Blair said looking directly at me.“There, she said it. She's fine. Now I'm leaving” I said and jumped up from my seat.“Don't you dare take another step young lady!” Dad barks.“Oh gimmie a break, dad.”“No. I'm afraid I'm going to have to punish you” he said.“But dad—”“No son.

I can't really say the same thing about Cassidy though. I mean that girl was a pain in the everything. So moving on. Blair and I hadn't been getting along, but that wasn't anything new. Jace had been trying to bond with Madison but it wasn't not really working out. And speaking of Jace... A knock interrupted me.“Come in,” I said looking through the paperwork. “Are you still mad about the kiss?” he asked. I seized up the yellow pencil lying on the desk and threw it. It sailed through the air and struck the wall just next to Jace's head, where it struck, vibrating. His eyes widened for a second and I smiled faintly. “Sorry, I didn't realize it was you.”Jace chuckled. “But it's a shame I have only one pencil” I sighed. “What can I help you with Mr. Graham?”“Cass, I'm sorry about the kiss...”“What kiss?” I asked, si

I paused when a few teens ran up to me with notepads and cameras. I gave them my autograph and took selfies with them.“I don't know but I feel it's a girl,” I say. “No. I want it to be perfect.”I saw Montana walk in and look at me. “Err... Ray, I've gotta go. I'll call you later” I said. She suddenly let out a groan and I rushed up to her. “Are you okay?” I asked helping her sit. “The baby's coming!” she cried out. “I just felt my water break.” “Cassie?” Rose called. “Call an ambulance!”“It hurts!” Montana whimpered.I rubbed the back of her hand. “Breathe sweetie. It'll be fine” I told her. “Where on earth is the ambulance?!”“What if I lose another child? I'll be the fifth one. I don't think I'll be able to take it” she said in tears. “No, no, no” I whispered to her. “Ethan would be heartbroken.”“Don't think like that” I sai
