Chapter 4

  Cassandra

 I couldn't believe that I was rejected by my mate, who also happens to be the future alpha of this pack. My mate rejected me without a second thought. I knew that he still considered me a slave, and overall, my scent had been masked by my wolf. 

 I had found my wolf, and it turned out that I'm not an omega like I thought I would be, but I wasn't. I could feel different energies seeping into my body like a power point, and suddenly I felt a devastating aura surround me, and before I knew what was happening, the auras filled the whole pack, and while I was taking a peek around the place, it turned out that everybody present there bowed their heads.

 I was happy, but I knew that if I lingered around the place, things wouldn't be good because I might get caught, and for displaying such power, I might get killed. I ran off in my wolf's form. I had found a way to conceal my energy with the help of my wolf. Everyone present had been freed from the aura. 

  As I was running toward my room, I saw Asher running toward me with great speed, and I knew I needed to increase my speed to avoid getting caught. I ran so fast that within seconds I was in my room, and I changed back to my human form, and not only that, but my clothes were still intact. I had thought that every werewolf's clothes store whenever they shifted.

I then knew things were different with me.

  *************

   

  It has been days now since I have been rejected by Franklin. It wasn't easy, but I'm now able to overcome it. I was able to overcome the pain that comes with rejection. It was a good thing that I was able to get over it, because in the past few days he has been trying to make me jealous. 

   

He had chosen a mate for himself the next day, and he had been trying to make me jealous. He will try every sort of thing with his chosen mate in front, and I was able to withstand everything and focus on what I was told to do. 

  I have been trying to find ways to escape from this pack, and with my speed, I know I'll be out of this pack within seconds, but wanting to keep my human image intact, I knew I had to do everything in such a way that nobody would suspect that I have a wolf. 

The pack members believed that I'm not a wolf because I have no auras surrounding me, and the alpha of the pack, Franklin, is still searching for the person who used the auras on the pack members that made them bow their heads. I knew that if they were to know I'm the one then they would kill me.

  I don't want them to find out about me, and I knew that if they found out I have a wolf, they would be suspicious of me. 

  They would know that I have been concealing my auras, and they would want me to stop concealing them. They would want to know my rank, and that would be dangerous. I might get caught, so I did everything in the backstage area where nobody would suspect me.

  I have been trying to keep everything private, but I'm having a hard time hiding who I am. Since I have found my wolf, I don't see the need to do as they want. I knew that I could make them do my bidding by just releasing my aura, but that would put my life in danger.

  “Cassandra, Cassandra!” I heard a voice yell, and I turned to look at the direction of the voice, and it turned out to be Caitlyn's voice, who couldn't find his mate because all the Alphas left after the incident that happened. She had found her mate also at the gathering, but her mate didn't leave, and she had been gathering her things. She was going to leave the group today. 

“Good afternoon,” I said, bowing my head with a deep frown. I don't have it in mind to bow to her, but I have no choice.

 “What’s good about the afternoon?" "I have been calling you for decades, but you chose to ignore me,” she said angrily as she advanced toward me, and I kept my head bowed, not wanting to unleash my anger on her.

“I’m sorry,” I said slowly with a frown. 

My eyes were starting to glow, but I tried hard to conceal them. My wolf doesn't want me to be submissive to anyone, and that's not helping matters here. I breathed heavily, and soon I was able to keep my wolf at bay.

“Sorry for yourself, idiot." I wonder why my dad still insists on keeping you alive. "You should have been killed long ago,” she said as she slapped me hard. 

I held my cheek, and I raised my head in surprise. I wasn't expecting her to slap me, but she did. I knew that there was nothing I could do to stop this now. I know that if I do something, I'll be suspected. 

“Follow me to carry the things I need into the chariot,” I heard her say, and I glared at her angrily when she wasn't looking. 

I followed her behind, wishing to rip out her throat, but I had to contain myself from doing such a thing. I knew that I'd feel guilty forever, remembering what happened to my foster parents.

   I feel angry. All I could feel was the urge to go get revenge immediately for the deaths of my foster parents. I want to make my uncle pay for what he did to my parents and my pack. I knew I had the strength and power, but I have no experience, and seeing everything made me angry.

  I have been spying on the warriors whenever they are training, and I'll make sure that nobody catches me spying on me.

I was doing that to make sure that I'd be able to get my revenge on my wicked uncle.

  I helped her pack all the things she needed, and I walked back to where I was told to put it before I walked to my room.

 I sighed heavily as I sat down on the floor while staring around, trying to know what to do. 

  I knew it was time that the warriors train, and with that, I stood up from the duvet and made my way toward the tree, where I had always spied on the warriors.

   

“Alpha, I feel like somebody has been spying on us for the past few days,” I heard one of the pack members say, and I felt my heart stop beating.

 “It’s nothing; nobody is spying on us." "I'll have known that before you; it's just a hunch you had.” I heard Franklin say it, and I breathed a sigh of relief.

  Where I was sitting was far from the training ground, but I was able to hear what they were saying. I could see everything going on clearly.

 I could see Franklin's chosen mate clinging to him, and I averted my eyes immediately, not wanting to watch them. I continue spying on the warriors with a smile on my face. I was excited to know that I would be able to watch them.

 I watched closely at how they were fighting each other. I was so lost in what I was watching that I didn't notice that someone was coming my way. 

   “Who is there?” I heard a voice ask, and I turned to look at the direction, and it turned out to be a pack member.

  “It’s you; how dare you?" "You have been spying on us from the tree; I'll make sure the alpha hears of this,” he said, and I immediately came down from the tree with a worried look.

  I knew for sure that it wouldn't be good if Franklin knew I was spying on them. I breathed a sigh of relief immediately after I remembered that none of them knew I was able to see them clearly, and I also knew that Franklin would think that I'm not spying on them and would think that I'm watching him from afar, or rather that I'm only up there having fun.

  

 “What the hell is happening here?” Franklin said he was immediately at the place I was, and I sighed heavily while fidgeting with my fingers. 

 “Alpha was spying on us." "She must be the one who I told you about,” the pack member said, and I looked at him closely, and then I remembered that he was the one who told him that I was spying on them earlier.

  “Alpha I'm not; I didn't spy on you. "I was up there enjoying the fresh air,” I said, and he looked up. 

 “You will be punished if I find out that you are spying on us,” he said, and he climbed up the tree with ease. He climbed down within seconds. 

  “She isn't spying on us; she would have been said to be spying on us if she were a werewolf, but she isn't but a pathetic human." She will be punished greatly for what she did today. "She will pay for climbing up the tree without permission,” Franklin said, and the smile on my face vanished. 

  “She isn't supposed to be here at this time; she must be jobless to come here to have time for enjoyment." She should be given more work to do,” Carla, the beta's daughter, who also happens to be Franklin's chosen mate, said. 

 My eyes were filled with horror. I couldn't believe what he just said. My eyes were filled with tears. I couldn't believe that he would say something like this.
