(Jace's POV)

She excused herself and went up to her room.

I blew it!

Not like I was expecting her to run up to hug me. Not even on the day we arrived. She, along with her best friend and Abigail, were nowhere to be found.

She'd taken a three-week vacation to Maldives without telling anyone. Not that I was complaining. I didn't exactly give her a heads-up when I was leaving that morning.

“Maybe I shouldn't have left at all” I murmured and threaded my fingers through my hair.

There was so much I could have avoided if I stayed put. Michael and José would have been able to manage.

But now the deed had been done and it was too late.

“I am so fucked” I groaned, walking out of her parents' house to go find a way to make it all better.

(Cassie's POV)

A tired yawn escaped my lips and I stretched my body to its full length; trying to ignore the pounding in my head.

I did not sleep well.

I sighed and turned to my side only to find someone seated on my bed... smiling.

“Morning.”

  • Mark of an Alpha's Mate    Chapter 56

    (Cassie's POV) In the heart of the woods, on a moonlit night, I found myself surrounded by towering trees, their branches reaching out like gnarled fingers. Where am I? The air was thick with an eerie stillness, broken only by the rustling of leaves and the distant hoot of an owl. “Jace? Are you here?” As I cautiously stepped forward, my senses suddenly heightened, acutely aware of every sound and movement.“Be careful” my wolf spoke to me. The moon had cast a pale glow, illuminating patches of the forest floor, while casting deep shadows elsewhere. “Where are we? Do you recognize this place?” I asked back. When no response came, I sighed. The place felt awfully familiar. But I wasn't sure where or when I'd been here in this part of the woods. But it was in one of these very shadowy pockets that I heard it— a soft, melodic voice, barely audible, yet captivating. What was that? It seemed to emanate from deeper within the woods, beckoning me closer. My heart raced as curiosit

    (Cassie's POV)I sighed and took another sip of my red wine. My life was not going well. Everyone seemed happy. Isabel was going to be a mother, which made everyone elated. Abigail finally found the perfect place to set up her dream bakery. José had a beautiful daughter and a wife who loved him so much. Same for Nathan. He and Isabel eloped to get married. It wasn't much of a shock to me. Or anyone else. My parents who'd been married for so many years... fell in love with each other more every passing day. And although catching them making out was gross, it was beautiful to know they still kept their fire alive. Everything was as close to perfect as it could be. Except my life. Sure I had people who actually talked to me and my family loved me for me, but what about my life?Why do you ask? Let's see. I didn't even remember the last time Jace actually spoke to me, except for his “good mornings” and “goodbyes.” It had been almost a year since we got married and I still hadn't go

  • Mark of an Alpha's Mate    Chapter 58

    (Cassie's POV) I managed to control the irresistible impulse to go after Jace and demand answers for this new switch in his behavior. I just didn't have it in me to do something as brazen as that. I opted to take the long route home after failing to clear my head. As I walked, my mind swirled with thoughts. And being as occupied as I was, I didn't notice the Audi driving slowly next to me to match my pace. I didn’t even hear the driver tooting his horn obnoxiously, to the chagrin of other pedestrians. “Cass!” shouted a familiar voice. I glanced toward the direction of the voice only to see Jackson’s face staring in my direction. However, I was not in the mood to entertain him. With merely a glance at him, I continued with my forward march. How nice it would have been if it were Jace who had stopped beside me. When Jackson noticed me ignoring him, an annoyed lock crept onto his face, and he yelled, “Hey what was that for? I‘m talking to you, Cass!” I frowned as my mood soured. I

    (Cassie's POV) I reluctantly opened my eyes because the sunlight caused discomfort to them. I spent quite some time adapting myself to the brightness as I groaned and turned to my side. When I sat up to change out of last night's clothes, I was surprised to find myself in my room. I made a confused face. What happened? Didn't I drink with Jackson and fall asleep by the river? Why am I at home now? “How did I get here?” I muttered to myself. Did Jackson bring me home? “But I thought I saw Jace last night.”Could it have been him? All these thoughts raced in my pounding head as I tried to recall how I had made my way home. However, I rejected the thought of Jace being the one who brought me home the moment it surfaced in my mind. That one's out. He wasn't even around to know when I decided to go out for the walk. So I figured he couldn't have brought me home. Besides, he couldn't possibly do it, for he didn’t even know I had been out drinking with Jackson by the river. In that

    (Cassie's POV) I stared hard at the words on the stick wondering if they would disappear. “Pregnant?” Sasha asked. “Pregnant” I mumbled in reply. “Oh my goodness, I'm going to be a mother!” Sasha shrieked. I dropped on the bed, still in shock. “What's wrong?” my wolf stilled.“Nothing I'm just... I'm pregnant?” I whispered, breathing hard. No. Maybe it's just nature playing tricks on me. “Yeah, yeah. Maybe it's that” I chuckled to myself, shaking my head. “Well then take another one then” Sasha suggested. “Yes, yes. You're right” I nodded in agreement and walked back into the bathroom. I took out a new test kit and re-took the test. “Pregnant” I read out loud. I took another one. “Pregnant” I read the results again. Oh my goodness. There was no way there'd be this many false positives. “I really am expecting a baby then.”“No shit” Sasha chuckled. Now I had to find a way to tell Jace he was going to be a father. “What should I do now?” I asked myself. I gasped when

    PROLOGUE (Cassie's POV) They kept staring at me like I was lying. They still didn't believe me, especially that man. He was tall, had these gorgeous blue eyes and dark brown hair, and the most tempting lips I'd ever... wait. This didn't feel right. I was supposed to be finding out how I got here not daydreaming about some person. “So you're telling me that you don't remember anything? Not even your own bloody name?” he asked again, in his thick British accent. I nodded. “Unbelievable” he breathed rubbing his forehead. “Sweetheart, we're just trying to help you” a lady, probably his sister, because they looked alike, added. “But I can't remember anything” I replied as something kicked me on the inside.I couldn't help but groan. “Are you okay?” the man asked and moved closer to my side. I shifted back uncomfortably. “Nikki, call the doctor” he paused at my reaction and told the other lady standing nearby with the wild curly hair. She nodded and walked out. Just then I felt s

    Six years later~New York City~(Cassie's POV) My footsteps echoed as I walked toward him. Each step reminded me of the pain he put me through and fury burned through my veins. “Boss, the female's been taken care of.”I nodded. “I'll handle this one myself. Thank you, boys.”I grabbed a gun. “Why are you doing this?” he asked. Really? He had the nerve to actually ask why. “Because I want to.”“Darling...”“So long Jace” I whispered and blew him a kiss before pulling the trigger. The sound of the gunshot echoed in the old warehouse as his body hung lifeless. “I loved you.”“AND CUT!” Marcus called out. The cast cheered. “Yayyyy!” I screamed and hugged him. “That was fantastic Ms. Adler,” he said. “Great acting.”“Your emotions didn't feel like it was acting” the man I'd just fake shot chuckled. He has no idea. “You don't say” I smiled. My phone beeped as the gun was taken away from me. “Oh sorry boys, I've gotta go. Happy New Year!” I called out and rushed out of the set.

I smiled to myself before focusing on the voice at the other side of the phone. “So I need to come to the studio?” I asked. The reply I got made me sigh. “Okay but first I'll get something from the office. Then I'll be there. Okay, bye now.” “Well?” they chorused I glanced at the backseat and their eyes were filled with so much excitement that I couldn't help but chuckle.“First we stop at the office, then we go to the studio.”“Where you filmed your movie?” Max asked with a wide grin. “It was just a feature, baby. Only one episode. It's not that big of a deal” I chuckled. “I'm going to be really important like you, Mommy” Mia said with determination. I chuckled. “Mommy look!” Madison gasped, pointing out the window at the big screen. I slowed down the car and looked out the window to where she was pointing. “It's you, Mommy!

    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. 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.

    (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
