(Cassie's POV)

The chirping of the birds woke me up and I groaned and turned over to the other side of the bed. But I wasn't able to fall back asleep. I stayed still for like five minutes then I dragged myself up. My first shift had taken a toll on me

But when I looked outside, I couldn't help but smile.

It was here. It was finally here.

And a few hours from now, I was going to marry the love of my life.

I'm going to be the new Mrs. Graham.

I paused for a second to make sure I wasn't dreaming. If it was a dream, I didn't want to wake up and find out that Jace and this wedding wasn't going to happen.

It would be the end of me.

“But no. No it's not” I assured myself. “This is really happening. And I'm going to be the new Mrs. Graham in a few hours. Shake it off, Cass.”

I inhaled and exhaled then got into the bathroom to take a long bubble bath.

The last shower being Cassandra Adler, my mind quipped.

I chuckled and brushed my teeth afterward. Seven times to be exact. Because I

    (Jace's POV) I tugged on the sleeve of my button-down, then glanced at Michael. “How do I look?” “Your usual sorry self” He grinned.“Jesus, why the hell did I bother to ask?” I glanced forward through the now-open doors onto the rippling waters of the pool where I had been unceremoniously dunked and held captive by the rest of my ex-friends. Yep, I’ve officially disowned them, as of fifteen minutes ago. When they’d not allowed me out of the pool until I’d promised I’d go through with the ceremony. Which, to be honest, I had no intention of skipping.Not after I was this close.“Hey,” Michael whispered to me, “Where'd you say you got this priest from again?” Ugh! “A neighboring pack I'm in business with.” “Which one?” “It's not official pack business. It's... personal.”He chuckled and leaned away from me. I rolled my shoulders in the perfectly fitted tux that my father had produced, along with the rest of the tailored suit that I was wearing. Seemed this was his wedding gift

    (Cassie's POV) “They’re all gone,” Jace said, practically slumping against the door in exhaustion. “Didn't think weddings were this stressful huh?” I chuckled, taking another bite of our wedding cake. As the flavors exploded on my tongue, I practically moaned. It was delicious, especially for it being gluten-free. And for once, I didn't mind the pink. “Gosh, I could eat this for the rest of my life and never tire of it... I think.” The cake was amazing— pink velvet with the best cream cheese buttercream. The couch in his dad’s cottage home on their property was so comfy, and I’d plopped myself on it when we came inside after everyone had finally started leaving the compound. And the cake that was currently resting in my lap was just the icing on top of the whole day. I let my eyes float shut as I relaxed further into the couch. Feeling the weight of the plate being lifted off my abdomen, I opened my eyes to Jace staring at me. “Cuddles” His arms came down around me, caging me i

    (Jace's POV) We’d woken up two more times in the middle of the night, seeking out each other’s bodies for pleasure, and by the time both of us roused from the bed in the morning, it was almost ten. “Good morning,” Cassandra said, rubbing her eyes as she stretched her arms, her pebbled nipples peeking through the sheet.“Morning.” And because I could, I bent down to kiss her. Just a simple kiss on the lips. “What’s on the agenda for the day, my love?”God, I liked that. “Well, babe, I was thinking we could hide away and see no one, and do absolutely nothing.”“Mmm. That sounds nice.” “Want to order in some breakfast?” I held up the service menu I’d thankfully requested the day before. And I had already ordered champagne for tonight.Might as well celebrate this marriage while we can, right? “Pancakes” Her eyes lit up as she looked at all the options. I chuckled. “Breakfast of champions. Let’s do it.”She took the menu from my hands. “Better get me a ham and cheese omelet and

    (Cassie's POV) “Hell no!” He chuckled. “Hell yes.” I shook my head. “No. That's cheating.” “No. That's game” he replied, copying my tone. “There's no way you're this good at Go Fish, Jace. Nuh-uh.” “Well...” he stretched his legs, my eyes tracing his crotch, “... I don't mean to brag but there are a few more other things I'm very good at, Cass.” I rolled my eyes, despite the huge grin I had on my face. “But...” I copied his move, jutting out my chest. Jace's eyes dropped to catch my girls perk and his mouth curved into a smile that made me proud. “You still cheated” I finished. He laughed. “I didn't. I'm just that good at it.” “Really?” I raised my brow. “Yes. I'm really good at playing. And so I play to win.” “By cheating” I folded my arms under my chest. “No” he laughed. “Okay,” I chuckled and stood up. “I'm going to go get some water.” “How about one last round? I'll be nice” he called after me. “Oh so you do admit you cheated” I asked over my shoulder. “Gosh

    The sun's rays and chirping of the birds woke her up from her peaceful slumber. Her mesmerizing eyes fluttered open and a smile crept up her face as she remembered the events of the previous night. “Hey beautiful, up already?” Jace asked. She sat up.“Morning” she yawned.He leaned in to kiss her on her forehead and handed her a glass of her favorite apple juice. Then walked into the living room, still shirtless. “You're wearing his shirt dummy” Sasha quipped before she could ask. Cassandra rolled her eyes, too happy to be upset with her wolf for being cheeky. She jumped out of bed and ran up to Jace and hugged him from behind. “Thank you,” she said. “What for?” Jace asked, pretending not to know what she was talking about. For giving me yet another great night in my entire life, she thought. “Like you don't know,” Cassandra said instead and popped a grape in her mouth. Jace chuckled. “I'll go take a shower. Be right back” she whispered. She got in the bathroom and closed t

    (Cassie's POV) I stood in the corner of the room and quietly watched him as he kept licking his lips and smiling at something on his phone. “What do you think he's doing?” Sasha asked“I don't know” I muttered to myself in a reply to her. But I'm gonna find out. “Ahem!” I coughed out loud and stepped out of my hiding place. He not so subtly locked his phone and shoved it in his pocket. “Hey sweetheart” he grinned. I arched a brow. “Sweetheart? I thought I was 'darling'?” He chuckled. “You're a lot of things to me, Cuddles. Scratch that, you're everything to me.” I simply smiled at him and unplugged my laptop. His cell phone's ding caused me to look at him. He casually pulled it out of his pocket, glanced at the screen, and smiled up at me. “Hey Cuddles, I'll be right back. I just need to get a glass of water.”“Lemme get that for you—” “No, no, hey, don't worry about it” he stopped me, “I've got it. It's just water.” I nod. “Okay then.” “Be right back.” I turned my att

    (Cassie's POV) The late afternoon sunlight slanted through the window of the cabin and highlighted the reddish gold sparks woven through the cord.Jace backed away and I followed his progress as he sauntered over to the bed. He sat down and kicked his legs out in front of him. His thighs were powerful columns of strength and his stance was wide enough for my attention to stray right to his crotch. The way his jeans were already tented there indicated that he was already very much aroused. This man had the stamina of someone who could push himself to the limits and recover quickly enough to start all over again.When I licked my lips, his gaze narrowed. I walked over to stand in front of him, hands on my hips. He tipped his chin up and trained those flinty blue eyes on me. My stomach trembled and my heart began to race. Oh, hell, one glance from him and I'm already a goner. How the hell am I going to do this?I reached forward and pushed his blazer down his shoulders. He shrugged it

    (Jace's POV)Cassandra impaled herself on my cock, and fuck me, but the sensation of her pussy clenching my length as she sank down on me until I was completely wrapped in her melting heat, was the single most perfect moment of my life. I was not a spiritual person, but surely, the white light that flashed behind my eyes right now was as close to oneness as I was going to get. I gazed into her upturned face and the sight of her flushed features, her parted lips, her tits bouncing under her dress as she began to ride me. An image that will be etched into my memory forever.She dug her fingers into my shoulders and clenched her inner muscles around my thickness. She squeezed her thighs around the outside of mine and rotated her hips.Heat blasted up my spine. “Dammit Cass!” My groin hardened, my cock lengthened inside her, and damn it, but I'd had enough. I pistoned my hips upward, and slammed into her, even as I began to work at the belt she had bound around my wrists. She gasped

    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

    ~Two months later(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. ~ ~ ~“Sorry I'm la

    (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

    She grabbed a dress and tried it on. 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.

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.

    (Cassie's POV)Time flew by.Summer found out André was her mate and she was beyond excited. I formed a really tight bond with my baby brother. I loved him to bits. 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
