**Alpha Xavier's POV**

I walked silently through the dark corridors of the palace, my hood pulled low over my face, trying to avoid the eyes of the patrolling guards. It was late at night, and the castle seemed peaceful, but I had received an urgent call from my men who were staying near the palace. The message was clear, and at least three people had come to my room tonight, telling me that I needed to meet them in the forest at midnight.

My footsteps were light, almost inaudible, as I approached the secret exit at the back, where the walls began to merge with the shadows of the forest.

Sneaking past security without being noticed was no easy task. I avoided the guards and slipped through the gates until I finally reached the edge of the forest. The air there was dense, filled with the scent of trees, wet earth, and the faint smell of wild animals. My eyes quickly spotted the glow of a campfire in the distance. My Beta, Josh, was gathered with three of our best men. They spoke in hus

    **POV Cassandra**"Cassandra!" I heard that deep, familiar voice echo in my ears, and my entire body trembled. I immediately turned towards the door, my heart racing."Luna Katy..." I whispered, scared, when I saw her enter the room unannounced. She smiled gently, as always, but there was something unsettling in her gaze. She walked over to the bed, where my wedding dress was carefully laid out, and sat beside it, observing the accessories with a thoughtful look. It was impossible to tell what she was thinking at that moment.She ran her hand over the fabric of the dress, analyzing every detail, before finally speaking:"I'm sorry, Cassandra. My son... he's unpredictable," she said with a sigh, still looking at the dress. "He's forcing you to marry that monster, all because of a whim. But... I'm sure he doesn't really want that."My body shrank into the water as she spoke. I tried to stay calm, but the fear I felt was uncontrollable. My mind was spinning, trying to process everything.

    **Alpha Xavier’s POV**I walked down the dark hallway, the absolute silence of the early morning allowing me to hear every step I took on the cold stone floor. It was one in the morning, and everything around me felt empty and quiet. That's when I saw Luna Katy leaving Cassandra’s room, her imposing figure wrapped in an impeccable dress, shimmering in the dim candlelight.There was something strange about her. A slight, cynical smile played on her lips, and the black onyx necklace adorning her neck reflected a dark aura. When she saw me, she immediately stopped, her expression hardening, as if she had been preparing for this moment. She walked toward me with firm steps, her gaze fixed and piercing."Cursed Alpha," Luna Katy began, her voice cold and dripping with disdain. "I imagine you're here to see your bride..." She cast a dismissive glance toward Cassandra's room before turning her eyes back to me. "But as you know, the rules are clear. The bride and groom must not meet in the 24

    Cassandra's POVThe hall was crowded, and I could barely breathe All the guests had already arrived, their laughter and conversations filling the air around me as I greeted them one by one, trying to maintain composure .My heart was racing, not just because of the impending wedding, but because Xavier was still not there. He hadn’t shown up yet.I was smiling mechanically at each person who passed, the words leaving my lips lifelessly. It was as if time was moving faster than I could keep up. Every second that passed without any sign of Xavier was like an invisible blade cutting me from within.It was then that King Alpha Valentim entered the hall, Luna Katy by his side. They walked with the authority and grace that only royalty could convey, and all eyes turned toward them. I kept my smile, even as I felt a strange chill run down my spine upon seeing Luna Katy’s calculating face approaching me."Cassandra," she smiled sweetly, her tone too sugary to be sincere. "You look stunning, de

    POV Cassandra My heart was still racing, even after seeing Xavier enter the hall. He was injured, with a visible cut on his face, and the determined look I had always known. But the relief of seeing him there couldn’t erase the tension that still hung over me. I felt the gaze of all the guests, their expectations and judgments weighing on us like a heavy cloud.The officiant approached, microphone in one hand and papers in the other. His voice echoed through the silent hall, each word carefully measured to give a solemn tone to the moment.“We are here today to celebrate the union of Cassie and the Cursed Alpha.”My eyes turned to Xavier, and a whirlwind of emotions swept over me. What did it mean to marry a man like him? What did the future hold for us? Even so, I stood firm, knowing there was no turning back now. He looked at me, and in that gaze, I saw something that gave me the strength to continue.The officiant went on:“Cassie, do you take the Cursed Alpha as your husband, pro

    **POV Xavier**"Why are you saying that? None of this is your fault," I said softly, wiping the tears that ran down her face. Cassandra looked away, sniffling a few times, clearly scared. But even in that state, she was beautiful. The white dress she wore was delicate, the fabric as soft as her skin, and the lace matched perfectly with the jewelry she had chosen. This was supposed to be a happy day, the day of our wedding, but seeing her like this broke my heart."Please don’t cry," I murmured, leaning in to place a kiss on her forehead. "Today is our wedding day. I hate seeing you like this." I gently pulled her closer, wrapping her in a firm embrace, trying to offer some comfort.Cassandra rested her head on my chest, and I could feel her rapid breathing as the tears continued to fall. She wrapped her arms around my torso, holding tight, as if she were afraid to let go. I held her there, gently stroking her hair, allowing her to release all the sadness she had been holding inside.

    **Cassandra's POV**The next morning, I was organizing the last of our things for our departure from the palace. Just the thought of finally leaving that place sent a chill through my stomach. There weren’t many people I wanted to say goodbye to, except Jennie, who had been kind to me from the moment I arrived. She was one of the few people who treated me with humanity during my time there.“Anything else, Miss Blackwoold?” Jennie asked as she placed an old sweater into the suitcase.I looked around, realizing that most of the things here weren’t really mine but wedding gifts we had received from King Alpha and the guests. Gifts that, for me, were reminders of an event that, although it brought a new beginning with Xavier, still carried the shadow of King Alpha’s control and manipulation.“Just put everything in the car. I’m tired and... I can’t wait to get out of this place. It brings back... bad memories.” I sighed, sitting down on the bed, trying to shake off the growing discomfort

    **POV Alpha Xavier**The wind blew cold against my muzzle as I ran through the forest in my wolf form, my powerful muscles contracting with each stride, feeling the wet earth beneath my paws. Adrenaline surged through my veins, and my hunting instinct was at its peak. The scent of the deer was strong, its trail fresh in the air. I knew I was close.My sharp teeth gleamed in the sunlight, and the strength of my jaw was enough to cut its throat in a single strike. When I finally spotted the deer, my golden eyes locked onto the prey as it grazed peacefully, unaware it was only seconds away from death.I lunged forward with speed, my claws scratching the damp forest floor. The deer tried to flee when it heard my steps, but it was already too late. I leapt on it, my heavy body crashing down on the animal, and my teeth sank into its neck with force, tearing through the flesh with ease. Warm blood flowed over my teeth, and the deer let out one last groan before collapsing dead on the ground.

    POV CassandraThe sound of my boots hitting the damp forest floor blended with the noise of my heavy breathing. I was running with everything I had, my feet sinking into the ground as the wind whipped my face. The trees around me became a blur as I sped up, trying to reach the destination Ursula had indicated as fast as I could.Suddenly, my eyes caught sight of something ahead — an old wooden bridge that looked like two entwined serpents, as the wood merged with the moss from the trees, with planks creaking in the wind, exactly as Ursula had described. My heart raced, and for a moment, I stopped running, just watching that fragile passage sway slightly. This was the sign.My hands trembled as I unrolled the piece of paper that had been tucked in my pocket. Panting, I glanced at the scribbled words, trying not to let the nervousness take over. I needed to make this work. I closed my eyes and repeated the words, my voice low and hesitant: "Like shadows that camouflage in the middle of

    **POV Cassandra** The months passed so quickly that it felt like I blinked and was already in a new stage of pregnancy. Each day it became harder to hide my growing belly, a constant reminder of the life I was carrying. "Careful, miss!" Jennie warned, holding my arm as she helped me step into the bathtub. Her movements were cautious, as if I were made of glass. After much insistence, I managed to convince Xavier to allow Jennie to return to the pack as my servant. He seemed so consumed by guilt over what happened—or rather, what he *thought* had happened—that he didn’t dare deny me anything I asked for. "Are you sure you don’t want to do any tests to find out the baby’s gender?" Jennie asked, pouring warm water over me as she gently lathered my body. I sighed, leaning my head back, letting the heat of the water relax my muscles. "I don’t care, Jennie. All I want is for this child to be born healthy and far from anything that could harm them." I ran my hand over my belly, c

    **POV Alpha Xavier** --- Dr. Afonso left my office so abruptly that, for a moment, I was paralyzed. When I came to my senses, I realized I was alone with Cassandra. The silence in the room was so heavy it seemed to press down on every corner. Outside, my staff kept their distance, likely too afraid to cross my path in this state. She approached me slowly, her steps measured, her face still pale, but a faint smile graced her lips. Her eyes were gentle, though tired. When she raised her hands to caress my face, the touch was so light and delicate that I almost couldn’t hold myself together. A moment later, she rested her head against my chest, pulling me into a tight embrace. For an instant, it felt like the weight of the world had been lifted. “I love you, you know?” Her voice was a soft whisper, but it carried immense meaning. She seemed so fragile, so small in my arms. “I’m sorry... I’m sorry I couldn’t keep my promise.” Her words cut deep, striking a part of me I didn’t re

    **Alpha Xavier's POV** "You bastard! Incompetent!" My voice thundered down the hallway. "I’m going to kill you!"My hands were firmly wrapped around Dr. Afonsos’s neck as he stared at me with wide eyes full of sheer terror. My wolf roared within me, thirsty for blood, demanding vengeance as the only possible justice for the death of my child."I trusted you..." My voice came out low and dark before rising again like a roar. "You told me the herb was harmless! That it wouldn’t harm the baby! And look what happened!"I pressed his back hard against the wall, tightening my grip on his neck. He struggled to breathe, his face turning a deeper shade of red as his eyes pleaded for mercy—mercy I had no intention of granting."Alpha... please..." he managed to croak, his voice hoarse and faint. "I... I don’t know what happened. The herb... it’s never had abortive effects before... I swear, this has never happened!"His desperate, hesitant tone only fueled my rage further. His excuse was a da

My voice sounded firmer than I actually felt as I carefully placed the collection containers in Maria’s hands. She looked at me with wide eyes, hesitating to take them."Luna, what we’re doing is very dangerous," Maria murmured, her voice filled with concern. "Without Dr. Afonsos, you won’t have any monitoring during your pregnancy—no exams, no prenatal care. This could harm the baby."She paused for a moment, taking a deep breath, as if trying to gather the courage to say what was on her mind."Besides," she continued, her voice breaking, "I think the Alpha has suffered enough. He comes to visit you every day, Luna, and at night the staff hears him crying softly in his office, asking the Moon Goddess why it had to be this way. I’ve never seen a man like him so broken."Tears streamed down Maria’s face. She believed what we were doing was wrong, yet she kept helping me.

    **POV Cassandra**I was lying in bed, still pretending the extreme exhaustion that the "miscarriage" should have caused, but my mind was alert. Every sound in the hallway, every distant whisper made me anxious. Suddenly, I heard the soft creak of the bedroom door opening.I opened my eyes slowly, feigning surprise, and saw Maria entering hurriedly. Her expression was filled with nervousness, her trembling hands holding a tray of medical instruments."Maria?" I murmured, my voice deliberately hoarse and weak.She closed the door behind her and looked at me with a mix of fear and concern."Cassandra, we can’t keep this charade going much longer," she said in almost a whisper. "You went overboard with the amount of blood. Dr. Afonsos thinks you’re on the verge of severe anemia or worse. He’s already arranging blood bags to give you a transfusion!"I couldn’t help but laugh, a short and raspy sound that made Maria frown indignantly."I figured that might happen," I said, adjusting my pill

    **POV Alpha Xavier** As I entered the room, my heart nearly stopped. Cassandra lay unconscious on the bed, her skin pale as snow, and the sheets were stained with ominous red blotches that screamed danger. "Cassandra!" My roar echoed through the room, but she didn’t move. Dr. Afonsos and the nurses surrounded her, rushing back and forth, trying to stabilize her. My chest burned, and Ragnar, my wolf, growled furiously within me. "Afonsos, do something!" I shouted, moving closer to the bed. "Alpha, with all due respect, we need space. I’ll call for additional doctors to assist, but it’s crucial that you leave now so we can work!" Afonsos replied, attempting to stay calm. "I’m not leaving this room while she’s like this!" My voice was low but laced with menace. He hesitated for a moment before signaling to the nurses. "Escort the Alpha outside, and make sure he stays out of the room." Two guards appeared, hesitant, and ushered me away. I roared in protest, but as much a

    **POV Cassandra**As soon as Xavier left the room with that smile on his face, a smile that filled me with guilt, I ran to the bathroom. Despair grew in my chest like an uncontrollable blaze. Without thinking twice, I put my fingers down my throat, forcing myself to vomit. Within seconds, I expelled the moss-green liquid I had ingested, its smell so strong and foul that it made my stomach churn again. I could barely breathe, holding onto the bathroom sink to avoid collapsing. At that moment, I heard the sound of the door opening and Maria entering the room, carrying a basin of water. "Are you all right, Cassandra?" The worry was etched on her face as she noticed my pale complexion and the dark circles under my eyes that betrayed my sleepless night. I forced a weak smile, trying to mask my distress. "I'm fine. Just a little unwell." She didn’t seem convinced, but she didn’t press further. Silently, she helped me back to the bed. I sat down, propping a pillow behind me to adju

    Alpha Xavier’s POVMy hands trembled as I held the small vial of powder. Even after discussing all the details with Dr. Afonso, a suffocating weight pressed on my chest. Every fiber of my being screamed against what I was about to do, but Alpha Damom had left me no choice. I stared at the powder again and took a deep breath, forcing my mind to calm.“This is to protect them,” I told myself repeatedly, like a prayer.I added a small dose of the powder into the hot tea on the tray, watching it mix slowly until it disappeared completely. I picked up the tray and walked toward Cassandra’s room, each step echoing in the empty hallway. The wooden floors creaked under my weight, and my wolf, Ragnar, restless in my mind, growled in frustration. He knew something was wrong, but I blocked our connection, unwilling to hear his condemnation.When I reached the door, I inhaled deeply, trying to steady myself. I pushed the door open slowly and stepped inside.Cassandra was sitting on the bed, with

    POV Cassandra"THINK, CASSANDRA, THINK! HE WOULDN'T DO THIS TO US!" My wolf, Roxy, growled in my mind, indignant that I was doubting our mate."This is ridiculous. You saw it, we saw it," I retorted angrily. "He promised Alpha Damom he would do it. Wondering if he’ll keep his promise to us or to him won’t get us anywhere. We need to think of a way to protect ourselves and our pup!" My inner voice was almost a scream, and Roxy fell silent, resentful, for a few moments.The pain was suffocating, something I had never felt before. My heart was broken, yet there was a small glimmer of hope that Xavier wouldn’t go through with it. However, all the evidence coldly pointed to the death of my baby. I could barely breathe between the tears and the weight of uncertainty."Damn it!" I screamed, throwing one of my personal belongings against the wall, feeling the shattering of porcelain echo my own rage and despair.For a moment, I bitterly regretted venturing into the forest that night to find t
