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. As we ran through the darkness, all I could think about was the image of my father falling to his knees, and the sound of his voice echoing through the night—a sound I knew I would never forget.My father forged our death, creating the il

    **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

    **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

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

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!"

My hands were shaking, my wolf roaring, hungry for revenge, wanting to explode out of me. In an instant, I found myself breaking everything around me—chairs, tables, bottles. The room quickly turned into a field of wreckage, shards of glass and broken furniture scattered everywhere. The sound of things shattering was a relief to the crushing weight of anger in my chest, but it wasn’t enough. Nothing seemed to be.Josh appeared at the doorway, watching the scene in silence. Some guards looked at him, unsure whether to intervene, but he just shook his head slowly, signaling them to let me vent my anger. When I finally stopped, panting with my chest on fire, I walked toward the office and slammed the door so hard I heard the echo reverberate through the hallways.I opened a bottle of whiskey on my desk and drank straight from it, feeling the liquid burn my throat, as if
