Cassie.Jake sat comfortably at the bar, his arm slung around the shoulder of a she-wolf, laughing at something either of them had said. The sight made my stomach twist, and when I turned to look at Violet, her expression mirrored mine—shocked and utterly speechless.“Maybe we came at a bad time,” I muttered under my breath, hoping to ease the tension that was beginning to coil around us.Violet, to my surprise, didn’t even flinch. Instead, a slow smile tugged at the corners of her lips, her eyes glinting with something I couldn’t quite decipher. “Why is this a bad time?” she asked, arching a perfectly sculpted brow in my direction.I stared at her, mouth agape, stunned by the confidence radiating off her. Before I could come up with an answer, Violet was already walking further into the bar, her heels clicking against the wooden floor with purpose.Jake’s laughter died the moment he spotted her approaching. His eyes widened in shock, and he quickly removed his arm from around the sh

Cassie.I folded my arms across my chest, watching Jake as he ran his fingers through his hair and exhaled. His gaze lifted to the night sky for a moment before settling back on me.“What is the deal with you and Violet?” I asked, trying to keep my voice even.Jake let out another sigh, his shoulders tensing as if my question weighed heavier than I expected. “Why do you care?” he shot back, and the bite in his tone startled me.I blinked, taken aback by his rudeness. Jake had never spoken to me like that before.“You’re both my friends, and I care about you both,” I said firmly, searching his face for any trace of the easygoing Jake I knew.But he just shook his head, a humorless chuckle escaping his lips.“Is there something wrong?” I pressed, but once again, he shook his head, his lips pursing like he was holding back words he wanted to say.After a pause, he finally spoke. “How well do you know Violet?”His question made me frown. Axel had asked me something similar earlier, but

Cassie."Hey, isn’t that the Alpha’s slut?" a sharp, mocking voice shattered my thoughts.I pulled my shawl a little tighter around my body, willing myself not to look over my shoulder as I walked back toward the pack house. My breaths came in sharp, shallow pulls, and I picked up my pace."Has she finally gone deaf?" a second voice sneered, and my steps faltered. But I quickly brushed it off, forcing myself to keep moving forward. After all, I was used to people talking about me behind my back. I shook my head, telling myself to ignore them—until someone rammed into me from behind, sending me stumbling forward. I gasped as I hit the ground.Looking up, I found two she-wolves standing over me, their eyes glinting with malice. They exchanged a glance, struggling to stifle their laughter. One of them, a red-haired, snorted, unable to hold it in any longer, and within seconds they both burst out laughing, their mocking voices filling the air."Oops, didn’t see you there, Cassie," the oth

Cassie.For a moment, I stood frozen, my mind spinning, unable to make sense of what I was seeing.I wished desperately that it was all a dream—that I’d wake up, with Cam nestled in his crib beside my bed, and realize it was just another one of those nightmares that had haunted me since our marriage began. But no matter how many times I blinked, the scene before me remained painfully, horribly real.My breath caught as Cam whimpered in my arms, the small cry pulling me back to reality, cementing the terrible truth: this was no dream. This was my life. And standing before me, entwined with my husband, was his true mate. The one person I’d feared he’d find since the moment I became his wife.Selena took a step forward, her eyes softening as she looked at Cam. She stretched out a hand, reaching as though to coo at him, but I instinctively shifted back, holding my son closer. Selena paused, her head tilting to one side in confusion.A faint frown appeared between her brows, but she quickl

Cassie. By the next morning, the whispers had spread throughout the pack estate like wildfire. News that Axel had found his mate traveled fast, and the estate buzzed with excitement. The murmurings of pack members as they gathered in the pack house, exchanging glances and barely whispered conversations made my stomach churn. “We finally have a Luna!” a wolf exclaimed, eyes wide with intrigue. “I hear she’s beautiful. No wonder Alpha was drawn to her at first glance,” another replied with a snicker. Forced to welcome the pack members, I clenched my fists, trying my best to remain positive and composed, but as I made my way through the house, I couldn’t help but feel the weight of everyone’s stares and the sting of their words in my chest. In the main living area, Axel was practically glowing, his eyes filled with adoration as he held Selena close. She was everything I wasn’t—confident, radiant, and utterly captivating. Selena laughed at something Axel said, the sound light

Cassie. Days turned into weeks, and the bullying I endured escalated to new heights, far worse than I could’ve ever imagined. Every corner of the pack estate felt foreign, and each encounter with a pack member was a fresh reminder of my failure to keep Axel’s attention. Whispers trailed behind me like shadows, relentless and cold. The pack members looked at me with contempt, as if I were nothing more than a stain on their proud alpha’s life. “Look at her,” one she-wolf sneered as I passed by one day, “The discarded wife, all alone.” “She should be grateful Alpha hasn’t thrown her out yet,” another chimed in, laughing, “But we all know it’s just a matter of time until that happens.” In the midst of it all, Axel’s demand the night before made it difficult for me to sleep. “Make sure to let Selena get close to Cam; he needs to get used to her,” he’d said without so much as looking up from the document on the table before him. I had agreed, believing that perhaps Selena was genu

Cassie. I came to find out Selena really meant every word of her threat two days later. New rumors circulated the pack, where the pack members claimed I was so desperate, so jealous of Selena, that I stooped low enough to use my own son as bait to seduce Axel. They said I was nothing but shameless and if I really thought that if not for my seduction, Axel would ever look my way or pay me any of his precious attention. I forced myself to stay calm, to keep my head high as I heard the new rumors because I knew where they came from, and I was also used to lies being told about me to worry myself about them. If anything, I was only happy that Cam was not grown enough to understand what was being said about me. But no matter how much I ignored it, the rumors kept coming. The next day, as I took Cam out for a morning stroll, I noticed the whispers had only grown louder. This time, they hit harder, cutting deeper. “You know, seeing as Alpha doesn’t like her, I doubt that child is Hi

Cassie. "How dare you speak to me in that manner?" Axel rose from his desk, eyes full of hate as he approached me. His expression was so cold, so filled with disdain, that it almost made me falter. Almost. But I couldn't allow myself to back down now. "If you and your mate want me out of the pack so badly, then fine. I'll take my son and leave," I said, my voice shaking but firm, "perhaps you believe the rumors too, that Cam isn't your son." In an instant, Axel closed the distance between us with a speed that made my pulse race, his hand gripping my arm hard. “What the fuck do you mean by that?" he asked, his tone sharp. His face was so close to mine. It was the first time since that one night we'd shared that he'd allowed himself to be this close. For a little moment, I almost let myself remember it –the way he'd looked at me back then, the gentleness in his touch. But I forced myself to focus, shaking away the thought. "I mean exactly what I said," I replied, ba

Cassie.“I didn’t expect to see you here,” I said softly, my voice barely audible over the rustling of the leaves. Axel stood by Cam’s grave, his hands buried in the pockets of his black pants, his shoulders stiff. He turned his head slightly, his sharp profile illuminated by the sunlight, before turning his gaze back to the headstone.“It’s been a little while since I visited,” he said, his voice low and steady. His eyes, though, were anything but calm—they flickered with something I couldn’t quite name. “You bought flowers, so I knew you were coming here.”I sucked in a breath, unsure how to respond. “Have we ever been here together?” he asked, breaking the silence.I shrugged at first, then thought about it. “I don’t think so,” I murmured.Silence enveloped us again, broken only by the soft rustle of leaves as the breeze picked up. I stepped forward, kneeling by Cam’s grave and placing the flowers gently on the grass. My fingers brushed the cold stone as I whispered, “I’m here w

Cassie.“Hey, I don’t know if you saw the text I left you,” I said into my phone, pacing the living room as the rays of morning sun filtered through the windows.Violet’s voice came through the speaker, soft but cheerful. “Yeah, I saw it. I’m down.”A relieved smile tugged at my lips. “Great! I’ll meet you at the café then. I have an errand to run first, but I won’t take long.”“Alright, see you there,” Violet replied.“See you soon.” I ended the call, feeling a little lighter as I tucked my phone into my pocket.The clatter of dishes pulled my attention toward the kitchen. Mirabel had arrived and began preparing breakfast. She glanced at me over her shoulder, a questioning look in her eyes.“What would you like for breakfast?” she asked with a raised brow.I shook my head. “Nothing for me, Mirabel. I’m heading out.”Her brows furrowed slightly, and for a moment, I thought she might press further. But instead, she hesitated, giving a small nod before turning back to the stove.I di

Cassie.“I went out with a friend,” I said, my voice steady, though my heart felt like it was about to burst through my chest.Axel didn’t reply immediately, but his piercing gaze locked onto mine, his sharp features unreadable, yet somehow suffocating. His eyes narrowed slightly, and the weight of his gaze pressed down on me.Clearing my throat, I narrowed my eyes back at him, “Did you think I ran away?”His response came swift and cutting, as he closed whatever distance was left between us. “Given your history, I wouldn’t put it past you,” he said, his tone razor-sharp.I swallowed hard, feeling the walls closing in. “Well, I’m here,” I said, attempting to sound firm, though my voice trembled. “I didn’t run away.”I tugged my arm lightly, trying to pull free from his grip, but Axel’s hand stayed firmly around it. His fingers weren’t painful, but his hold made it clear he wasn’t ready to let me go.“Do you need something?” I asked, hoping to mask the unease bubbling inside me.He d

Cassie.The restaurant was cozy and intimate, the kind of place that made you forget the world outside existed. As Mr. Pierson and I talked, the initial tension eased, replaced by an easy camaraderie I hadn’t expected. For someone who seemed very responsible, he had an easy going side to him.“Cassie, you know you can drop the formalities outside of school, right? Call me Jon,” He had said, and because I hadn’t been anticipating he’d say that, I choked a little on my food.“Try it,” He urged.I tilted my head, a smile creeping onto my face despite my best efforts to keep things strictly polite. “Jon,” I repeated, testing the name like it was foreign to my tongue. “That’s going to take some getting used to.”He laughed, a rich sound that filled the small space between us. “I’ll allow a grace period. But only a short one.”As the evening wore on, I found myself relaxing even more. Jon talked about his life, growing up as the eldest of five brothers, and how he’d felt the weight of re

Cassie.“Mr. Pierson!” I called out, surprised and slightly embarrassed to see him standing before our table. My heart sank as I recalled the promise I’d broken the day before. I was supposed to meet him after lectures, and I completely forgot.His lips curved into a small, knowing smile. “Seems you had a busy day yesterday,” he said, his voice calm and unbothered.I nodded quickly, fumbling for an explanation. “I did. I had to go to the hospital after school…a friend came to pick me up, and it slipped my mind entirely. I’m so sorry, Mr. Pierson. I didn’t mean to keep you waiting.”He nodded in understanding, his smile softening. “No need to apologize. I just wanted to make sure you were all right.”As he turned to leave, I felt an urge to make things right. “Wait!” I blurted, making him pause mid-step. “I still want to properly thank you. I promise I won’t forget this time.”Mr. Pierson chuckled warmly. “I’ll hold you to that,” he said before walking away, leaving me with a strang

Cassie.I would come to find out that rogues eventually got killed by Axel’s claws.I stretched lazily, letting the remnants of sleep cling to me before I got up to prepare for school. As I pushed my window open to let the morning air in, the faint sound of voices caught my attention.Down below in the courtyard stood three guards, their postures tensed as they exchanged words. At first, I didn't pay much attention, but then one sentence made my breath hitch."Alpha tore them apart. Didn't even let them beg for mercy," one guard said, shaking his head in what seemed like a mix of awe and fear."Ripped their hearts out after the interrogation," another guard added.“This should serve as more lesson to all those rogues who don’t believe how secure this pack is.” the first one said, and the other two nodded.“At this point they should’ve never come. Alpha always know when rogues are around the vicinity. They will never find a way to infiltrate this pack.” The second added. I froze, my h

Cassie.Axel and I continued our walk towards the apartment, and though his hands held mine tightly, I couldn’t let go of the tension in my chest. My heart hammered against my ribcage, and the words “They’re coming for you” were on a loop in my head.I shook my head and tried to focus, as Axel led me into the apartment, but my attempts were futile. “Hey, how are feeling?” he asked me, with his hand pressed at the back of my head so I could look away from him even if I wanted to. “I’m okay,” I told him, trying to release myself from his hold, but he held me in place.“Come,” he ordered in a deep voice that sent shockwaves down my spine, seeping into my skin from where his hand held me, as he led me to my bedroom.“What are you doing?” I asked him, but I should’ve known he wasn’t going to respond. I folded my lips and let him lead me. Inside my room, Axel sat me at the edge of my bed and went into my restroom, staying there for at least five minutes before he came out with his sleeve
