Cassi pov I had to place my palm over my mouth so that the gasp that was coming out will not be heard by the two of them beyond the bushes standing there was Daniella and the person that was approaching her was someone that I had trusted for so long. My former personal trainer, Hanson by the time he got close enough to her he wrapped his hands around her waist and then he pulled her in for a passionate kiss that lasted for so long until he finally pulled away and both of them looked breathless and their faces flushed while I was struggling not to throw up in the bushes that I was hiding in. "What took you so long?"she asked him."...I have been waiting for you so patiently ,"he ran his fingers through her hair."And I appreciate you for that after all what would I do without you?"The more I looked at them the more I fell into deeper denial that what I was seeing in front of me was reality. I even pinched myself and when I glanced over it was still the same. I had literally expect
Cassi pov I had let down my guard more than expected because the two of them soon spotted me and then shifted into the wolf forms and began to chase me. I turned around and ran, my breath becoming ragged with every step I took. Fighting with them was not going to be an easy task. I was already outnumbered and I already knew how capable my former trainer was, I didn't know how strong Danielle really was but I was not able to find out. Unfortunately this was not a choice that I would get to make as I kept turning around to check how close they were to me I wasn't able to focus on everything in front of me and I ended up bumping into a tree, this immediately threw me off guard and while I was struggling to regain myself it's all of them surrounded me and my former trainer pounced on me. "Now why am I not even surprised to see you here, you are always showing up when you are not wanted like a pest…" he said to me in mind link. "...maybe you would have been able to live longer if yo
His red eyes bore into mine while his face squeezed as he wore an irritating expression on his face. He was looking so violent and furious as he gazed heavily at me. I could see the hatred written all over him and I was sure he never for once wanted me. "Don't you dare stare back at me!" He thundered. I shook, a tear slipped from my eye and I couldn't even hold it back, I heard murmurings around me; of course, it was not a dream, this was happening to me, but why? "Lower your gaze!" He ordered. My eyes wandered around immediately, looking everywhere else but him. I caught myself trying hard not to look his way. How did things go from being good to just this? I couldn't pinpoint what exactly went wrong, my hands shook uncontrollably and my lips quivered but then I suddenly remembered this wasn't how things were meant to be, why was I afraid of him? I took a bold step and looked him in the eye, though I didn't feel any voice in my head or whatever I knew for sure that he was my mat
Alder's Pov For three years; I've been suspecting that Cassi was my mate, I'd been attracted to her and it was weird seeing that I don't get attracted to girls easily, her beauty was mid-tier so it isn't what made me feel attracted to her, I had waved it off initially thinking it was just my hormones and all but after the truth surfaced; I knew she was my mate.I was angry, at the world, the moon goddess, myself, and Cassi, how can I be mated to a mere human? Was the goddess mocking me? I needed a strong Luna beside me seeing that I'd be the next alpha, being an alpha isn't an easy task neither is having a mate.I have to someday lead my people to wars, make decisions and all that and the last thing I'd want is a burden on me, my Luna is supposed to be my side to love me, and care for me and the people, she would be a male alpha who if anything happens or the need arises would have to take my place, what's the use of a woman against supernaturals?My mother is a good example, I've ad
Cassi's Pov There's nothing to live for anymore, my life was a lie, a complete lie, no one was related to me, I'm a stranger here and everywhere, my life is a lie, a blatant lie; with these thoughts, I plunged myself down the cliff, I sank to the bottom of the following river or whatever it was, I could have kicked against death.It was easy to try to swim and fight for my life but I have no will to live, life was tiring, I felt the life seeping out of me as I embraced the darkness that was hovering above and then I felt nothing, nothing at all, no pain, rejection, joy or anything, I felt numb, very numb, I got the peace I wanted or so I thought.I opened my eyes as I felt some rays shine on them, I closed them back as the rays of light penetrated my Iris and my pupils couldn't process that much light at once, I opened them back once I was sure I could.It was quite draining; to open my eyes but I was quite confused as my eyes scanned my environment, I could see white walls and pure
Cassi's Pov I kept on crying, not just because I wanted to but because I had to; my heart ached and I cried my sorrows out, I was tired of being strong all the time and pretending that all is well but now all is well, the days I've been left out, days I've been discriminated, days I was fed up and then the pain of finding out I'm adopted and human as well, it was draining.I had hated the goddess, cursed and blamed her for making my life miserable not knowing that she had a kingdom, a lovely mother who longed to hold me in her hands again, and a father who never stopped searching for me for years, I was elated, I'm also a princess, not just any lycan but a Princess! All that rejected me if only they knew I was important! I'm a Princess.I looked back at the older version of me, my mother, it was strange and thrilling for me, I have a mother, the woman I've looked up to for years wasn't my biological mother and I have never felt this safe around her, but I've barely been with this wom
Cassi's POV.We sat together as a family having dinner. I would look at my family and smile before concentrating on my food. Everything was still like a dream to me.I looked at the domestic staff walking around the mansion, I looked at the huge dining area where we were having lunch and then at my parents again. I never knew that someday, my life would come to this and if anyone had told me too, I would call him or her a liar."Enjoying your food?" My father asked with a smile."Yes father," I replied and continued eating. I could feel my mother's eyes on me. I smiled as I couldn't blame her.She had lost me for a long time now and I guess it was still like a dream to her that I'm alive and had met them again.I thought about my other parents who raised me, I sighed sadly as I knew that I would be thinking that I'm dead and gone now when they didn't really know that I survived.I thought about Alder, I couldn't blame him as I concluded that it was fate which made him reject me. If he
Cassi's POVI let out a slight grimace as I looked away from the window. I then turned to look at my Mom who was still struggling with her melted ice cream. I decided to ask a question."What do you think about promises? Are we allowed to break them?" I asked, holding my breath as I awaited an answer from my Mom. I knew my Mom was starting to suspect what was going on with me. But then my Mom wouldn't know the main issue if she didn't say anything. "Uhmm, I would say promises are easy to make but they are hard to keep. Also, there are times promises need to be broken. Those are desperate times." Theodora answered fluently. Her tone showed she had gone through a lot. "What? Did you make a promise with anyone. A male friend, perhaps?" My Mom asked playfully, wiggling her brows. "No, I did not." I replied immediately. How could I do what my Mom was implying when my so-called mate hated me. "Oh, really? Then what are you on about? From your questions, did you make a promise to your
