Pov Cassandra

I 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.

    **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…

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

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

We have to go!” she insisted, her voice trembling as she forced us to move forward.We ran through the dark forest, branches scratching our skin, the uneven ground threatening to trip us with every step. Fear drove us, but soon I smelled the strong scent of gunpowder in the air, followed by a deafening explosion. The impact threw us to the ground, and when I looked back, I saw the fire spreading quickly, devouring everything in its path, consuming the trees, turning the night into a fiery hell.The heat was intense, the air thick with smoke, making it hard to breathe. But there was no time to stop. The fire was advancing, forcing us to move forward, to flee without looking back.

    **Cassandra's POV****Flashback Off**"Where is that bitch?"The shrill screams echoed down the hallway, tearing through the silence and snapping me out of my thoughts. Before I could react, my bedroom door was flung open with brutal force, the impact so violent that the sound reverberated through the room, knocking over several items from the dresser. I quickly stood up, trying to straighten the mess, but before I could take another step, I felt my hair being yanked from behind, tearing a scream of pain from me. Before I could react, a stinging slap exploded across my face, throwing me backward."How dare you see him without my permission!" Jade snarled, her voice full of fury, her teeth clenched in anger. Her gaze was pure hatred, and I could see the insane gleam in her eyes. "You’re going to tell me exactly what you were doing in the Alpha's room three days ago, alone! Don’t you dare lie to me. The maids already told me you were in there for at least an hour, just the two of you, s

    Pov CassandraBefore I could say anything, the maid, with tears in her eyes, threw herself to the floor on her knees. "It was my fault, Alpha! I... I opened the door too forcefully and ended up breaking some things. Please, forgive me! You can deduct it from my salary, but please, don't fire me. I beg you!" She trembled, her voice choked with fear, desperately pleading for forgiveness.I remained silent, surprised and confused by the scene unfolding before me. It was evident that the maid was lying to protect herself... and perhaps even me. Everyone here seemed to have a mortal fear of Jade, the kind of fear that made people prefer to take the blame for something they didn't do rather than face her wrath.The Alpha remained silent for a moment, his hard eyes fixed on the maid who was still at his feet.Finally, he turned to me, his expression rigid and serious. "Is that really what happened, Cassandra?" he asked, his deep voice making me swallow hard.I hesitated, the words stuck in m

    **Alpha Xavier POV** "Do you really think it's a good idea to call her?" Josh, my beta, grumbled, rolling his eyes with barely contained frustration. "I need to know if she's truly okay," I replied, my voice firm as I took a swig from the whiskey bottle on the table. The liquid burned my throat, but it helped me maintain a cold, indifferent expression. "There were too many people there, and it’s obvious the staff was lurking, listening to everything. I had to be more rigid and act like an indifferent Alpha. If I showed any sign of weakness, Jade might suspect something... and tell Alpha Damon." Josh snorted, anger evident in his dark eyes. "I told you it was a bad idea to bring the girl into the pack," he muttered, his tone laced with reproach. "Look at you... you almost exposed yourself today because of her. Don’t forget we need Alpha Damon. No one knows your true identity yet, and the bastards who tried to kill you have no idea you're alive. We need to wait for the right moment t

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?"

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.

    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.

    **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

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
