Andrella's POV
.
.
.
I opened my mouth to ask about OUR MOMENT but then close it. I shook my head by deciding to go against it
'What if something like that really didn't happen between us?', I thought. I asked another question. "I can't remember the things of last night. Can you explain what had happened? I mean how do we reach here?"
.
"By the time, I returned to you. You were already sleeping by wearing your clothes. I tried to wake you up but you were having a high fever so I just carried you home by picking you up on my back and ran as fast as I could to reach here.", Cade answered my question. All the time, I could see that he was avoiding seeing into my eyes like he always does.
.
I could be only 17 years old but I was not a fool for sure. I knew everything makes me crazy to hear her name being called in the air but only I knew that I had felt that voice every day. And even last night, I had felt whatever had happened. Neither I was hallucinating everything by assuming everything on my own nor I was mad or crazy. I had a gut feeling that everything had to do with something with Cade.
.
His Voice.
It sounds exactly the same as what I had always heard all my life.
And for the first time in my life, I had no memories of my last night. I knew it had something to do with HIM.
.
"What happened? Don't you trust my words?", I heard Cade's voice which brought me back from my reality.
I wanted to shout a big NO at his face. I wanted to shout at him for lying to me. I wanted to kick his ass for thinking me stupid
.
"I trust you.", I lied. 'Trust my ass', I thought simultaneously. Something was really different about him and I wouldn't take a rest until I figured it out. "I came here just to talk about plans to visit the spirit world. I hope you don't have to change that plan.",
.
"No. I haven't.", He replied quickly. "I will surely take you there tonight.", He added with a smile. Out of everything which he said until now, I could only find his genuineness in this sentence only.
.
"All right then, see you after dinner, Okay?"
.
"Sounds perfect to me but before leaving do let your family know that you would not be available for the next four days because staying in the spirit world for half an hour is almost equal to five hours in your world."
.
Your world?
What did he mean by that?
Isn't he from the same world?
Most importantly how did he know about that?
.
"How do you know about it?", I asked, raising my brow and immediately his eyes widened as if he realized that he had done something which he should not have.
.
"My fa..father shared this fact with me.", He stuttered.
.
'But why did he stutter? CADE BLACK, what are you hiding from everyone?', There were so many things in mind and only one person had its answer but I knew he wouldn't share anything clearly. So the only thing which I could do was to wait and observe everything near me carefully.
.
.
.
"Morning guys", I greeted my siblings on the breakfast table
.
"Morning", Everyone smiled when they greeted me back. I took a seat beside Ben. "I have an announcement to make", I said, grabbing my coffee and cookies from the plate. "I will leave with Cade to explore around his pack and to know him better.", I decided to share half the truth since they were my family.
.
"No", Ben quickly rejected my idea. "You will not spend time with him anymore. I don't trust that guy. Even though I didn't have my wolf with me, I can sense danger around him."
.
"I agree with Ben.", Mattew said and was already on Ben's side.
.
"Even do I.", Becca whispered slowly.
.
"Include me in your side, Bro.", Keith said. No way they could forbid me to do anything which I want.
.
Everyone was staring at me, waiting for my reaction after all it was four against one. I smiled looking at them. "I am a big girl, now. You guys are not my parents so don't act like one.", I said and continued to look at everyone's expression.
.
"Fine then, don't forget to take the Moonstone. With its help, our father can reach you anytime and anywhere. And in case of any emergency rub the stone so that he will know that you are in danger.", Keith said. I could see that everyone was unhappy about his comment but his words make sense. Our father had the power to teleport anywhere, all he needed to have the location.
.
"Okay.", I muttered. No one said anything after that. In Fact, there was a pin drop silence. 'Wow, what a morning!', I thought and ate my breakfast silently. Rest of the day, I kept myself busy between the books reading more about the packs and their leaders and to my surprise whatever had Becca said was true.
.
'I will ask Cade to take me to his pack once we will return from the spirit world in one piece.', I thought.
.
.
.
At night, I left with Cade in front of my family so that they wouldn't doubt my intention about my plan to meet Grandpa's soul in the spirit world. We continued to travel in the car for a few hours until we reached the place where there was nothing except the dark forest.
What was he doing to do?
Oh yes! There was no way any car entered the forest.
Now he would transform himself into the wolf and would ask me to sit on his back till we reached the entrance of the spirit world.
.
I started buckling out the seat belt before I would have opened the door, Cade had already opened my door. He gave his hand and I grabbed it when I walked out from his fancy car. I tried hard not to smile but I couldn't help it because he acted like some prince in the books. But I knew that he was no prince.
.
"You look beautiful while smiling.", He said and gave a light kiss on my cheek. I knew my cheeks were red by now. I looked away to hide my blush. Then my eyes landed on the dark forest
.
'It looked dangerous.', I thought.
.
"I won't let anything happen to you, Annie. I promise you that.", He stated and I knew he was serious with his words. We kept staring at each other for a second before I nodded my head slowly. As I had thought, he didn't change himself into a wolf but instead he held my hand and started walking toward the forest.
.
'Please don't tell me that he is not a werewolf.', I thought and my eyes widened with that thought.
.

#TBC
Andrella's POV . . . I started recalling all my parents' warnings about 'Not to go out with strangers.' Before I would have doubted him more, he opened his mouth. "Since we don't have to go far from here that's why I chose to cover that distance by walking and spending some time with you. I hope you won't mind.", He said and I mentally slapped myself for thinking unnecessary things for no reason. . We walked for a while and stopped our track when we reached a large tree. The same very tree from which I fell down when I was a kid. The same very tree which disappeared automatically.
Cade's POV . . . I have a gut feeling that Annie will find everything related to me very soon. She is a human but not a fool. I recalled everything which happened last night. I returned back to Annie to ask whether she needed food or was hungry. But the moment I reached there my erection stuffed against my jeans looking at what my little human bride was doing. Her face turned red when her eyes landed on me and I was sure even her heartbeat was fast. . Before I could control my mouth, words already escaped from my mouth. "Let me help you with that.", I gently rubbed her mound with my finger and soon started pumping inside and outside. I rubbed faster
Andrella’s POV . . . “Don’t be mad. I am not going to listen to what they are going to say.”, I said but for a while, I could still see anger on his face. He didn’t say anything after that. But I wanted him to talk with me. That's why this time I picked any random question. “What’s your age?”, I asked cheerfully. . “Why are you asking that?”, He asked another question instead of replying to the question which I had asked before. . I shrugged my shoulder. “Just to know how old are you?”, I replied casually and waited for his answer this time. He remained silent for a while until he finally replied.
Andrella’s POV . . . “Grandpa? Why are you talking like that with Cade?”, I interrupted him from talking to Cade like that. He was insulting him indirectly. . “I am just mad at him for bringing you here.”, There came a reply and he glared at Cade. I was not sure whether I was thinking much but his glare at Cade told a different story. “Now, get back to your world as soon as possible if you are not planning to die, are you?” . “Don’t worry, sir. I will make sure that your granddaughter will reach back to her home without any injury.”, Cade said with utmost sincerity in his eyes. “Now I will appreciate it
Andrella’s POV . . . “You shouldn’t have scolded her.”, I scolded Cade. “She was generally worried for me.”, He looked at me for a while and sighed before speaking. . “I will apologize to her later.”, He replied. . “You better.”, I ordered him to which he looked at me in shock but then started smiling when I gave him a teasing look. Then, my eyes landed on the food which Trisla had brought for me. It looked like it was food for four people. But never mind, I eat a lot so it wouldn’t be any problem for me, right? But Hold on! Did Cade notice that too?
Cade’s POV...“For...give mee, Ma..Master”, He whimpered in pain. I held the neck of the demon who had used his spell to wipe Annie’s memories. As per him, he had used his power on her but it was just it didn't work on her..“Master...pl..please”, He choked and I let him go in anger. I didn’t know whether I was angry at him or I was angry at myself.Because of me, Annie started thinking herself a lunatic.If I would have not played with her mind then all this had not happened.But that’s it, this was the last time.
Andrella’s POV...“Don’t be so happy, I am not finished yet....”, He said on which I broke the hug and looked at him in confusion. What else he had to say now?.“What?”, I asked, raising my brow..“I still feel that something is wrong with that guy. And I will be against your meeting with him until I figure it out about that.”, Keith said seriously and I could help but was scared of that. What if something was really wrong with Cade?Could I go against my family?I gues
Andrella’s POV...Ring….Ring...Ring….I jumped a little on my seat when I heard the ringtone of my phone. I hadn’t received any call from anyone from the moment I reached in the pack because of the poor network and right now I was in City hospital because Keith met with an accident and Aunt Rachel was driving the car. And we were right now in the human world because they both are humans, that’s why human doctors were treating them..Ben and I were in the hospital along with Uncle Andrew, Mom, and dada. Matt and Becca were at Uncle Andrew’s pack with his children.Sighing
Andrella’s POV.“Why didn’t you wear the dress which I gifted you?”, Cade asked, the moment he saw me in a peach color mermaid style gown rather than the red, which he had gifted me. “Well, It’s not that you are not looking beautiful in it but I wanted to see you in the dress which I gifted you.”“Cade, it’s Becca’s marriage. Not mine!”, I reminded him, fixing his tie.“All right.”, He nodded in an understanding way. “By the way, I know you are going to be Becca’s bridesmaid but don’t forget your poor lover because my hand would start itching without touching you.”, He muttered and grabbed my round ass in his hand. I gasped in surprise and slapped at hand.
Vince’s POV (Andrella’s Father) . Though Cade had informed me that my princess was him. I couldn’t help but start getting worried. You couldn’t blame me for that because whenever I had left my daughter with him, something definitely goes wrong in one way or another way. I was waiting for my princess to return home as soon as possible. And finally, I saw my princess reaching home with a big smile on her face. Thank god! This time nothing went wrong. I thought but immediately I realized that something was off. I couldn’t smell her, just like I couldn’t smell Cade’s presence. Once they complete the ritual, I wouldn’t be able to see my daughter. I knew that’s her destiny but I didn’t want that to happen. Thinking about the change in smell, it could only happen when...
Andrella’s POV.This was my turn to return his love.It was my turn to show him that I was his and I would do anything for him.But hearing my words out, he froze. “What did you say?”,I bit my lips. Tiptoeing I gave him a perk on his lips before giving him a shy smile. “I said….”, I started speaking, while he was waiting impatiently to hear me out, “NOTHING.”, I teased him and started laughing at his expression.“Annie, please”, He sounded desperate. “What did you say? Did you just...did you just say that you…”, He gulped nervously with a fear of what if I would start laughing AGAIN.
Cade’s POV . I watched Annie flying away from everyone as if she was scared that she could end up doing something worse. I was proud of her that she decided to leave rather than harming anyone even though her powers were not stable. Just like her father, even I didn’t run behind her because I knew she was disturbed and frustrated. It wouldn’t be wise to disturb her for a while after all I could find her location with my power. After an hour or two, I used my wind power and smiled finding her near the waterfall. Just like every school-age teenager, that place was OUR PLACE. In the next moment, I was near my bride, my love, my Annie. I didn’t have any idea about her mood now, but as per her father, it was not good to disturb any demons when the
Cade’s POV.She nodded her head. “Yeah! Just a headache”, She lied but I didn’t pressure her this time because I couldn’t help until she decided to share everything with me. It was like I couldn’t answer the question without knowing the question. “I will figure out everything very soon.”, She added, maybe after observing my worried expression.I studied her expression before nodding my head. “But be careful.”, I whispered and she gave me a reassuring smile before closing her eyes again.I felt useless, with the power that I had, still, I couldn’t help her.‘What a useless man I am.’
Cade’s POV . “Annie, please tell me something.”, I asked again because I knew something was eating her up but she was not sharing that with me. I started feeling frustrated by this feeling since I used to be the one who used to handle everything, but this time, I had no idea how my bride was exactly feeling, and trust me this feeling was making me feel like shit. I felt weak. “Please”, I requested again. She sighed before speaking, “I am sorry for making me feel like this, Cade. And I know I should have talked with you about this before but I don’t think it’s that late.”, She paused for a while and then continued. “From the last few days, I am not able to remember my memories. It feels like those incidents are not true, especially the fact that you cheated on me.” SILENCE.
Lily Salvatore’s POV . Coming from a powerful family, and a powerful demon, everyone feared me. People generally don’t stare at my eyes directly because I had the power of creating illusions. First, I crawled into their mind and searched for their fear and then made it like it really happened or happening with them. I was known as the one who could turn people mad. My ancestors told me to visit the king urgently. I wondered why the king of the spirit world wanted to meet me? I guess I already knew the answer to my question. I had heard his heir choosing a newbie demon. Let’s just see. He knew I would help him after all we were kind of family friends.
Cade’s POV.I finally got permission to stay in Annie’s room even at night if I want. And all thanks to Crystal for that. She asked me to stop calling her Mrs. Cornell, either call her by her name or call her Mom.I chose the first option because I needed time to get accustomed to Annie’s family, who cared for one another for real. Right now, I was waiting for Annie in her room as her sister, Rebbac took her with herself to show her wedding gown.Knock...Knock!!“Andyyy…”, Her sister opened the door looking for her? She gave me a nervous smile and looked around. From her expression, I knew something was not right.“What is it?”, I quickly walked closer
Cade’s POV . “Not again.”, Annie’s father glared at me when he saw his daughter unconscious in my arms. “What did you do now?” “Witch.”, I replied shortly, widening his eyes in shock. I took Annie to her room and placed her on the bed carefully and then removed her heels, making sure that she could get rest properly before turning toward her father. “Do you know any witch named Neena?”, I asked, recalling how my father whispered her name in shock though Annie was standing before him. I wanted to know what was happening with my bride as soon as possible. As far as I remembered, Annie told me that she had Scarlet’s power but she wouldn’t be able to use it then how the hell! Someone else took control of her body? .
