“Enough!” The tension slowly dies when Hera breaks their conversation.“Alpha Baron, you came here unannounced. I know you are fully aware that there is a rule.” She calmly continued. I couldn’t trace any hint of hearing in her face.“And I’m clear since the beginning of my motive. I’ll bring that woman home.” Alpha Baron replied firmly.“Unfortunately, we let her go this morning because she asks for her freedom. I hope you understand that simple sentence. Even a three-year-old kid would understand that, so please don’t make it complicated for all of us here.” Hera retaliated in full of conviction. She knew that Alpha Killian can’t speak nicely and if she didn’t interrupt their intense conversation then probably a war has occurred already.“I believe that Hera was telling the truth, after all, she’s the most respected member of this pack.” It sounds like an insult to Alpha Killian that’s why when I shift my gaze at him, I notice how Hera was holding his arm tightly.“Well then, I’ll t
Waiting for darkness to fully took the light feels like I’m waiting for the end of the world right now. “If you’re lying then, you deserve the most severe punishment.” I was taken aback when Alpha Killian’s voice interrupted my thoughts. “Death.” I quickly look away and put back my gaze at the sunset. This is my only chance to prove that I was Cassiopeia. As his condition states that he wants to see my face changed. If not, then I’m doomed. And I would lose my chance to get back to my pack or seek help against the Alpha’s plans. It was just the two of us here and it was kinda awkward for both of us. “W-Why didn’t you even let Hera come with us?” I wanted to slap myself for voicing it out, it supposedly stayed in my mind. “So I could kill you if you’re lying.” He quickly retorted making me shiver in fear with how he delivered it. I stand up and walk toward the ocean, like how these waves move back and forth in rhythm, I also hope that this time everything will be on my side. Or a
“I’m here to apologize for my behavior last night, Cassiopeia.” Alpha Killian started walking toward me red-faced. “I just thought you were tricking.” He added before handing me the flowers in his hands. “I’m deeply sorry. I was wrong. I almost kill you. ” I bit my lip, forbidding myself to let out a small smile. Because that’s not my concern right now, I was still stunned to hear Alpha Killian apologize sincerely. In addition to that, he gave me flowers and this is the very first time I receive flowers. “D-Don’t mind it.” “As a peace offering, I have prepared a small welcome party for you tonight.” That made my jaw drop. “Welcome party?” “Yes. I’ve ordered someone to buy you a dress from the market nearby, and she’ll be here soon.” “I mean I don’t think that’s necessary Alpha Killian.” I tried my best not to sound rude or offend him because I could see how guilty he was. “These flowers are already enough Alpha,” I added and smiled. “Are you sure?” He asked worriedly. And
“Perfect then, I’ll bring you two into a business trip in New Orleans in the U.S tomorrow.” “W-What? What’s with the sudden trip? I mean since when our pack will enter the business?” I asked, and I bit my lip when Alpha Baron’s face darkened. “You aren’t my Luna yet but you are asking that much already.” He retaliated. “I-I’m sorry, it’s just that isn’t it a bit risky for our pack…” “Cassiopeia, if you want this pack to remain on top, then you should trust me. We have to take investments from businessmen.” “You mean humans?” “We will socialize with humans?” I asked unbelievably. “Yes, but partly no, there are packs in that country who were as rich as we do. Some were even billionaires, and I couldn’t let our pack be on the last on the list, Cassiopeia. We’ll get there to close deals, and invest. Like how other Alpha’s manage and grow their wealth.” He explained briefly, it sounded good to me. But my father didn’t take that step and didn’t go that far just to be as great as he
The pair of crimson eyes were glimmering in darkness as it comes closer to me. And I don’t think I could still run from him because I almost used my energy already. He growled before motioning an attack toward me, and I have left no choice but to close my eyes waiting for the pain to penetrate my skin. But nothing came in, and when I opened my eyes a familiar blank face greeted me. He was on his human form now, and fully naked. I quickly look away, and I could feel my cheeks red. I slowly remove the thin cloth that covers my face and handed it to him. I mean it’s not that big deal to see them naked after their shift, but I wasn’t comfortable with it. “A-Alpha Killian,” I called him. “You may look at me now, Cassiopeia.” Sighing in relief, I move my gaze at him. “You shouldn’t have startled me that way,” I commented. “Where are you currently heading Cassiopeia? It’s too dangerous for you, especially since your scars are gone.” He firmly asked instead. That’s when I remembered w
“Perfect then, I’ll bring you two into a business trip in New Orleans in the U.S tomorrow.” “W-What? What’s with the sudden trip?

“What the f*ck are you staring at?” Eyed widened, I stand up from the bench as he intimidatingly threw me a glare. It seems like he's about to burst out any minute now, his face was too red in frustration though I can't still deny the fact that he's an imitation of the God of the Moon. ‘Should I just run?’ ‘But what if I don’t meet him again?’ ‘What the hell am I thinking?’ ‘Really Cassiopeia, amidst this trouble you’ll think of that. How ridiculous?’ I wanted to slap myself for such thoughts and things happened so fast that I didn’t notice how enraged he was, he kicked the side of his tire again and again. “And what the f*ck did you just say?” He growled. “Do you even know how to fix these f*cking tires huh?” He asked pointing to his car as he moves towards me heavily. “D-Don’t come near me!” I exclaimed frightening, I slowly steps back. “You don’t understand my frustration! I Just f*cking lost a million dollars of investment!” He nagged out, he looks hopeless. I should r
In a few seconds, he held my life. And it didn’t even take long before he slowly pulled me up, with the strength he has, I won’t doubt anymore, how he was able to do that, without any much drama. “Cassiopeia, are you alright?” My eyes darted at Mr. Smith’s worried face. “I-I’m alright, Sir.” I lied, because at that certain moment, my heart was still hammering fast, and loud. I thought I would really die. When I glance at the guy who was named Ezra, there he has the wide grin on his lips. “T-Thank you.” I managed to say, despite how our first encounter went. “You owe me one, I don’t accept such word. It wasn’t in my vocabulary.” His evil grin faltered and was replace by a cold one before he turns his back and started walking away. “Ezra, let’s talk.” Mr. Smith stops him, yet the latter didn’t bother to shoot a glance. ‘Though I’m still thinking if they were really father and son.’ ‘It was such a small world right?’ “I know I lost the big investment last night, but I won’t be so
