Cassi's pov The killings went on and it almost seemed like it would never end. Two by two my people were plucked everyday like flowers in a garden, except with more brutality in they were killed every day. My own people became so agitated against me to the point that some people make it their duty to barge into the palace almost everyday to blame me and today was no different. I was about to force some breakfast down my throat after being severely scolded by my former trainer that I was not helping the situation by starving myself and that was one of my guys came and the spoon that was in my hand clattered on the ground as I stood up taking quick strides until I made my way outside to the Palace gates. outside of the gates was what could easily be called a small riot people were holding up signs and screaming saying that I was the one that caused all of this if only I had not kidnap my husband and brought him over there none of this would have happened." you are a selfish
Cassi pov As I left the presence of the council my heart was beating so fast you would think that it was being powered by some kind of generator at the moment. But I was glad that I was able to get my point across to them. however it required a little bit of compromise as well because after I had said all I wanted to them the head of the high Court stood and said that he had some things to let out of his mind as well he told me that if by any chance we lost this one then I was going to definitely lose my throne and then I looked at him the strange expression on my face that mostly resemble a smile but then it was like it was about to break into tears at any moment yet trying to maintain its original form at the same time. I told him quite frankly that that wasn't going to happen and after I had taken care of the werewolves I told him that I wanted to keep my position since being able to cater to this kind of crisis by myself doesn't make me a capable leader then what will show
Cassi pov The war was becoming imminent with every moment that pass by because now it was not just something that was being drafted on my study table but a reality that was about to become mine. I was quite surprised that everything was happening so quickly, I had arranged for divisions to be created that would take a new recruits and train them and my former trainer was one of the trainers for the divisions this was to enhance efficiency and to have as many people as possible well equipped for the battle that was about to come and yet I still didn't feel ready. Naturally anyway there were other things that I had already put in place to make everything easier for everyone but I still felt like I wasn't ready I guess I would never really feel like I was ready because this was not a kind of situation that somebody could go in and they would have everything that they needed at hands reach but I had done a lot of research and had asked everyone that could give me any credible informati
Alder pov So the day is finally here? Ever since I received that note from my mate it was almost as if I was living in a sort of a bubble where I had to started directing my people for a fight that I couldn't even understand why it was happening at all. But from the little that I have learnt about Cassandra after being married to her, I was guessing that this was probably retaliation for poisoning her and abandoning her like that I knew that she wasn't going to take it easy but after having several days of rest I thought that maybe she has decided to move on he thought that have seen quite under justable until finally I got the notes from a messenger that she had sent saying that she wanted war. Honestly it was like being jolted out of a dream as my eyes had scrambled through the words and my fingers have sunk to the into the note almost to the point of ripping it apart some of my men have told me to beat up the messenger that came alive one of the most my second-in-command James
Cassi pov"So the big day is finally here?" With a heavy heart I looked at my former trainer as he said that and he could tell that there was still hesitation in my eyes. We were in the training Hall for the last run through of the strategy for the war. After this everything else that would happen will have to be out of the pocket somehow because you will need to assess the situation to a certain level before making any more decisions. "Queen Cassandra there's something that is bothering you isn't there?" I wanted to deny it but I knew that even if I did he was going to see right through my lie once more and it was going to be ridiculous for me to have to endure being drilled over and over again. so I just simply told him the truth from the start, there was definitely something bothering me but I didn't want to talk about it because there was no solution for it and therefore it would just be a waste of time and energy to talk about it all. He looked at me like a child with a br
Cassi pov As my eyes went up and I saw that we were finally within sight of the pack house I decided to turn around and explain the plan to the recruits once more because the last thing that I needed now was any mistakes because it will be very costly if anybody made a mistake right now or did something that will blow our cover that we have been trying our best all this time to maintain. While we were running here already shifted in our wolf forms and our sense mostly locked away from even the sharpest of noses, the warriors that we came across watching the border as we passed by with fewer than I had expected that means that they are really put even more people that I was thinking about into the war against this worked in our favor but for some reason it made me feel uncomfortable it was this kind of negative feeling that someone would feel bubbly at the bottom of their stomach when things were going so well and they were just too accustomed to everything have been a glitch or a p
Cassi pov I made a big mistake and this time it was not one that was easy to fix just like how I had asked the recruit back then to stay behind. This was far more difficult because I had expected to see my mate here and to take him by surprise by taking him again just like last time but surprisingly enough he was not here and unguarded. But he was not even here at all and the shock of that had made me to be completely immobile for some moments and this was practically all the enemy needed to take advantage of me and the people on my team because soon we were surrounded by some strange gas that was so thick that what I turned my eyes towards my teammates, I could barely see them as anything other than blurry silhouettes of their person. The next thing I knew my eyelids became incredibly heavy. I tried to fight against it as I was shaking terribly and my legs felt even softer and more wobbly than jelly eventually the fight against the gas was one that I could not win and I fel
Alder pov There was something that was telling me that they shouldn't loosen up the ropes for her, but I couldn't help it. I really thought I wasn't feeling well at all seeing her in that uncomfortable position. It was odd because the wife that had been arranged for me had literally been throwing ceramics in my direction and yet it had barely startled me at all. obviously I was shocked by the fact that she was doing that at all but most of the time I just felt completely unreactive to anything it would be happening to her it wasn't as it right there or what I was mostly not really disturbed by anything that related to her and just saw her as another pack member without any special difference. But the moment I saw that my men had tied up my mate I felt like ripping those ropes off her and then finding people that had tied her up like that but I had to remind myself that right now she was on the enemy side in fact she was the one that was practically leading them. Since she had
