**POV Alpha Xavier**I thrust deeper into her, increasing the friction between our bodies as Jade moaned wildly in my ear. Her hands gripped my shoulders tightly, her fingers sliding down my bare back, making sure to leave her marks as she scratched my skin while I penetrated her with more intensity.I repositioned Jade on the table in my office, her breath heavy and echoing through the room. I was lost in the heat of the moment when I heard knocking on the door, followed by noises that seemed distant, almost unreal in the midst of lust."Forget it! Keep doing what you're doing!" Jade pleaded, biting her lower lip as she writhed in pleasure. Her voice carried a mixture of desperation and desire, a sound that would normally have encouraged me to continue without a second thought.I smiled, my mouth finding one of her breasts, sucking on it forcefully while stimulating her with my fingers. However, something made me uneasy. The knocking on the door continued, more insistent now, and for
**POV Cassandra**I remember staring at her, trying to find something to say, but the words simply wouldn’t come. It was as if my voice had been ripped away along with the dignity that Jade was destroying before me. An overwhelming tightness seized my chest when I saw Alpha Xavier intertwine his fingers tightly with hers, a gesture of possession that cut me deeply."Guards! Get this filthy slave out of here! She’s interrupting us!" the Alpha roared angrily, his voice resonating with a low, threatening growl. I felt his wolf emerge briefly, while Jade, with a satisfied smile, rested her head on his chest, as if savoring my humiliation.Within seconds, two huge guards appeared, and before I could react, one of them grabbed my arm, dragging me down the hallway, while the other yanked on my long dark hair, their curses echoing in my ears with every step I took.As they dragged me down the long corridor, the sound of Jade and Xavier’s moans echoed through the halls, now louder, more brazen
**POV Cassandra**It had already been seven days since that incident, and Alpha Xavier hadn’t come to see me. Since then, the only people entering and leaving my room were the maids, doctors, and nurses he had carefully selected to take care of me. I wondered when I would see him again."Here is your medicine, Miss Baker..." the maid smiled, placing a small tray on the dresser, along with some fruits and a nutritious vegetable soup. "Would you like me to prepare a relaxing bath for you?" She smiled, walking towards the bathroom and filling the bathtub with warm water.I took a deep breath as I undressed, and as soon as my skin touched the water, I felt all my muscles relax. Jennie had filled the bath with rose milk and red petals, along with a fragrant incense."Jennie... I've been trapped in this place for so long..." I murmured a little shyly as the light-eyed girl scrubbed my back with a small sponge. "I... I can't take it anymore... How long will this punishment last?" I grumbled
Pov CassandraI took a few steps back and almost stumbled, falling onto the bed. Alpha Xavier continued to stare at me intently, as if waiting for my response.“Don’t tell me you came to take back the gift?” He smiled cynically. “Does this mean you’re going to keep your promise? After all, that’s how we agreed last time…” He murmured, moving closer to me again, not caring about the small distance between us.“You’re insane! The person I gave this necklace to has been dead for years; you must have found it in some pawnshop!” I shouted angrily. How could he be so cynical, and how could he know that I gave this necklace to someone?**Flashback****Twelve years ago…**“Help! Help! Let me go!” I screamed desperately, my voice muffled by the cloth pressed against my mouth as those men dragged me toward the trunk of the car. My attempts to fight back were useless against their brute strength. Despair overwhelmed me, and tears began to stream down my face.“Be quiet, little girl. We’re not go
**Cassandra’s POV**"No… no!" I screamed, my voice breaking with emotion. "That boy I knew died long before my life turned into this nightmare. I don’t know how you know this, but you can’t use it against me, pretending to be someone you’re not!" Angrily, I pushed him away, feeling the tears slowly start to roll down my face. Memories of how peaceful and joyful my life was before all of this began to suffocate me. Everything had changed since this man appeared."You’re lying to yourself, Cassandra," he retorted, his voice low and filled with venom. "You don’t want to admit the truth. You broke your promise. At the first opportunity, you ran into another man’s arms, married him, and gave yourself to him without even caring if young William was out there, searching for you. You didn’t hesitate to abandon me, as if I never meant anything." He stepped toward me, anger burning in his eyes. "You are so dirty and wicked. You gave me hope that I could have a better life, but when I came back…
**Alpha Xavier's POV**flasback on"Help! Someone help me!" A shrill voice screamed, desperate and full of terror. My body went rigid as I recognized the scream, and then the strong smell of smoke hit my nostrils, igniting absolute panic within me. I turned in the direction of the sound, and horror settled in my chest as I saw the house—my house—completely engulfed in flames."No... No! This can't be happening!" I shouted, my voice faltering as I ran toward the inferno that was consuming everything. The heat was already hitting me hard before I even got close, but there was no time to think about the pain. Every second could be the last.The fire devoured everything around it like a wild beast, consuming wood, walls—everything in its path. But none of that mattered. The only thing that mattered was her, keeping her alive by my side, as I had promised I would. Without hesitation, I dove into the flames, ignoring the unbearable heat that threatened to destroy my flesh and invade my tiss
POV alpha Xavier"So, boy, what's it going to be? Do you want me to leave you here to be food for worms and crows, or do you still want to live?" His voice was harsh, cutting, as he looked at me with an expression of disdain, as if my pathetic situation was a spectacle for his entertainment."Please..." I stammered, my voice coming out as a weak whisper as I fought to stay conscious. "Save... my mother." My eyes drifted to her body, lying just a few meters away from me, so close yet unreachable. He laughed, a dry, cruel sound, his shoulders shaking slightly."That woman is already dead," he said with a tone of indifference that made me shiver. "Even if she were alive, it wouldn't make a difference. She's just a fragile human... weak. You, on the other hand, have wolf blood running through your veins. That's why you're still breathing. Your wolf is fighting to keep you alive, even if it's a losing battle. Sure, you'll carry scars for the rest of your life, your face will be a horror sh
**POV Cassandra**I was sitting on the bed, looking at the gold necklace in my hands, when memories of everything that had happened flooded back to me.**Flashback On****7 years ago...**“Dad… I don’t understand what’s going on. You and Mom are scaring me…” My voice trembled with fear as I watched my father hurriedly toss our belongings into a small black suitcase. He handed the suitcase to my mother, who was holding Emily tightly, trying to calm her as she cried uncontrollably.“I’ve got everything, Charlie. How much time do we have before we leave?” my mother asked, her voice laced with fear. She was struggling to stay calm, but terror was etched on her face as she tried to comfort my sister.“As soon as it gets dark, we leave. We’ll go during the guard change on patrol,” my father replied, nerves on edge as he ran his trembling hands through his hair.Without wasting time, he approached the table and opened a drawer that he always kept locked. I had never seen what was inside, but
Pov cassandraThe walls of the dungeon were cold and damp, and the smell of mold filled the air, mingling with the bitter taste of despair that refused to leave me. I sat in the dark corner of the cell, arms wrapped around myself, trying to suppress the trembling that overtook me. The chains on my wrists were heavy, but not as heavy as the weight of the accusations hanging over me.The echo of firm footsteps interrupted the oppressive silence. I lifted my head, quickly wiping away the tears that had fallen without my permission. I couldn’t appear weak, not in front of him. And there he was, Alpha Damon, standing outside the bars, wearing that cold, mocking smile that made me want to scream."What do you want here?" I asked, my voice firmer than I had expected.He entered the cell with the confidence of someone who knew they were in control. "You know why I’m here, Cassandra," he began, his tone calm but laced with venom. "I want you to take responsibility for the deaths."My hands cle
**Xavier's POV**Days had passed since the dust of war had settled, and I was finally crowned king. A grand ceremony took place, filled with ancient rituals and solemn words, but for me, the most significant moment was when Cassandra, by my side, received the crown of Luna. As the weight of gold was placed upon her head, I knew that, despite everything, she was my anchor, the reason why all of this was worth it.I looked at her, admiring her strength, even after all she had endured. There was an undeniable sadness in her eyes, but also a determination that made me believe that together we could overcome anything.After the coronation, my focus shifted to rebuilding the pack. The palace, devastated by the conflicts, began to be restored. The wounded soldiers received care, and the people returned to their homes. I made it a point to visit the families who had lost loved ones, offering help and ensuring that the future would be different. I promised myself that my leadership would be ma
The pain of childbirth had been excruciating, but nothing could compare to the wave of love that washed over me when I heard that fragile, delicate cry for the first time. My baby was here, in my arms, so small, so perfect.He was a boy. A beautiful, healthy boy, with eyes that, although newly opened, seemed to gaze directly at me. His skin, still red from the effort of entering the world, glowed under the flickering light of the flames illuminating the sky in the distance."My love... my boy..." I whispered, tears streaming down my face as I cradled him to my chest. Even with my body still aching from the pains of childbirth, I couldn’t take my eyes off him. I kissed his small forehead, feeling the warmth of his skin, and silently thanked the goddess of the moon for giving us this moment, even amid the chaos.But the moment of peace was brutally interrupted.The door was smashed open with a crash, and a group of men entered, their faces dirty and filled with hatred. I instinctively h
**Alpha Xavier's POV**The smell of gunpowder and blood filled the air as we led the attack on the central hall. I could hear the echoes of our wolves' howls mixed with the cries of resistance from Alpha Valetim's guards. Everything was going according to plan — we were surrounding the palace, closing off all escape routes.Ahead of me, one of Valetim's army commanders trembled, his eyes darting quickly over the men surrounding him. His breathing was heavy, and I could see the sweat dripping down his face."You’re surrounded," I said firmly, my deep voice cutting through the air. "It’s no use resisting. This isn’t just a battle, it’s the revolt of the people. Your tyranny, and that of King Valetim, is over. There’s no way out for you. Surrender and open the gates."He hesitated, gripping his sword with trembling hands. I could see the conflict in his eyes — a mix of fear and desperate loyalty. Before he could respond, one of my men advanced, pressing the sharp point of a blade against
*POV Cassandra*As I followed the servant through the dark corridors, we heard the unmistakable sound of Alpha Valetim’s voice echoing nearby. He was coming toward us. My heart nearly stopped, and for a moment, I froze.“It’s him...” I whispered, instinctively placing my hand on my belly.The eunuch glanced at me, alarmed, but remained calm.“We need to leave now! If he finds you here, Alpha Xavier’s plan will be ruined,” he said urgently, trying to pull me toward the exit.I looked in the direction of Valetim’s voice and felt a wave of despair. I knew he suspected something. If he realized I was trying to escape, not only would he imprison me again, but he would destroy all of Xavier’s efforts to save us.“Wait,” I whispered, gripping the servant’s arm firmly. “I need to throw him off track.”“That’s madness! Alpha Xavier wants you safe. You have to come with me now!” he whispered, almost desperate.“Trust me. I’ll delay him. Go to the meeting point and wait for me. I promise I’ll co
**Cassandra's POV**The months dragged on like centuries since Xavier disappeared. The last thing I heard was from some servants who claimed to have seen him working as a simple carpenter in a humble house nearby. They mocked him, calling him "The Crippled Alpha." The title had spread, and the rumors of his disability made him the subject of ridicule.His pack had abandoned him. When Valentim brought his punishment to everyone, most ran to save their own skins, including Jennie. From time to time, I would hear of hunts, captures, and the executions that followed. Valentim thought all of it was a big joke.Worse than the rumors were the photos. He sent them to me like slow poison, depicting Xavier limping, leaning on a cane, his exhausted face. Each image came with a messenger carrying gifts that piled up high in my room. They were never opened. I didn’t need to look to know they contained more insults than sincere intentions.That day, a servant entered, carrying a new batch."Luna, K
POV ALPHA XAVIERI was dragged through the dark, damp corridors of the dungeon like an animal about to be slaughtered. My wrists were bound by iron shackles that dug into my skin, causing constant pain. Two guards shoved me with every hesitation, their eyes filled with contempt. Finally, they stopped in front of a cell that smelled of urine, decay, and despair. Without ceremony, they threw me inside, and I stumbled, falling to the filthy floor.The sound of the iron door closing echoed through the dark space. I struggled to get up, wiping the blood from the corner of my lips, only to notice that the floor was infested with rats scurrying back and forth, fighting over pieces of spoiled food."Enjoy the hospitality, Cursed Alpha," one of the guards mocked. He held a plate with what looked like moldy bread and a bowl of sour broth. He pushed the food through the small opening in the cell and smiled maliciously. "This is your only meal of the day. Better save it."I didn't respond. I simp
**Cassandra's POV**The hall plunged into chaos the moment Valentim drew the knife. My heart stopped as he approached Xavier, his gaze overflowing with hatred."Valentim, don’t do this!" I screamed desperately, but he seemed to not hear.Xavier raised his arms defensively, trying to deescalate the situation."There’s no need for this, Valentim! Leave Cassandra and our child out of this. Deal with me, but not like this!"Valentim didn’t respond. With a swift movement, he grabbed Xavier's arm, pulling him close, and before I could even scream, the knife glinted under the light of the hall before plunging into the side of Xavier’s abdomen, just below his ribs. A muffled sound of torn flesh echoed through the hall, followed by Xavier’s scream of pain."Traitor!" Valentim roared, pointing the bloodstained knife at the guards around us. "The Cursed Alpha tried to kill me! He conspires against the kingdom, and for that, his whole pack will be condemned!""NO!" My scream ripped through the ai
POV ALPHA XAVIER"Another victim of the Alpha King," I heard someone comment."Was that an execution, or a horror show?" someone else replied.My body froze. Everything inside me was about to explode. The sight of my beta, my friend, dead before me was more than I could bear.Cassandra shrank beside me, sobbing quietly, yet she gripped my hand tightly, trying to hold me back, as if she knew what I was about to do.But nothing could stop me."Josh..." My voice was a low growl, full of pain and rage. My wolf howled in response, slamming against the barriers I had put up to control it.I knew that from that moment on, everything would change.The Alpha King's palace was dark at night, its oppressive architecture reflecting the chaos that reigned in the mind of the man who inhabited it. The doors slammed open as I entered, the sound echoing through the vast halls like thunder. My chest burned with anger and pain, my wolf growled impatiently within me, while my eyes found Valentim sitting
