ADESSA: I should have known better that nothing good lasts forever. Especially for someone like me—a lowly, orphaned Omega. The last year has been so perfect that I thought I had finally found my place in this world, right in the arms of my mate, Alpha Kael. Kael chose me to be his Luna out of revenge to the female who broke his heart. His reasons didn't matter to me. And though I knew he could never love me the same way he loved Desiree, I have nothing to complain about. Kael was the ideal mate—the perfect Alpha. I was lucky to be his. I was so immersed in the bubbles of my perfect world that I forgot he was never mine in the first place. When tragedy struck, and he awoke with no memory of us, I found myself alone in the shambles of my dreams, witnessing the man I loved walk away with the woman who had broken him. In the blink of an eye, I was back in the same place I was before I met him. KAEL: My life has always been perfect. I am the Alpha of one of the strongest packs on this side of the country and betrothed to the woman who will be the perfect Luna to stand beside me. So when I woke up with no memory of the last two years of my life, married to a woman I had never met and couldn't remember, I began to question everything around me. I wanted nothing to do with her. She is not the Luna I envisioned to end up with. ¤¤¤¤¤ THIS IS A STANDALONE NOVEL AND NOT CONNECTED TO MY PREVIOUS BOOKS/SERIES. Follow me on my socials for updates and teasers — author.cassa.m.
View MoreADESSA.I stopped halfway through the altar, where my parents were waiting for me. Mom looked beautiful in her golden gown with black accents. Even without a title, she looked regal, and the love shining in her eyes was enough to make her stand out. I held on to my parents, and we began walking forward. A coy smile played on my lips as I began teasing my father. “Father, you are not allowed to cry.” No matter how he kept his face with a poker expression, his eyes betrayed his real emotions. “I have five sons, and never did I imagine I would one day walk a daughter to the altar.” He spoke in a hushed tone.“I made so many of your dreams come true, didn’t I?” I kept teasing him. It was the only way I could keep myself from crying.“Yes, you did. You and your mother did. And I’m grateful for that every day.”That left me speechless. I was told my father was not the one who shares his emotions and thoughts with anyone, but that was exactly what he was doing. Love indeed could change us
ADESSA.I stood before the massive double door of the Royal Cathedral, waiting for it to open to welcome me inside the church, where Kael, my fated mate, waited for me. I couldn’t help the tears welling up in my eyes. We’d finally come to this. A wedding. And it was as grand as anyone could imagine. Our first wedding was simple. Only a few guests were invited, and all of them were related to Kael. I had no one on my side—no family, no friends. But this time, I had the presence of every important person in my life.My mother and father had already walked ahead and would wait for me halfway through the aisle. Lacey, my beautiful niece, was my flower girl. She walked alongside Landon, as she refused to walk down on her own during rehearsals. Gabe was our ring bearer. He was here with his grandmother, Erika, but his mother, Sasha, was not invited. I was glad that Erika didn’t question us when we asked for permission for her and Gabe to be part of our celebration. To be honest, I was
ADESSA.He nodded, and he pointed to something behind me. I swiftly turned around and found myself looking at a wooden post with a wooden sign: ADESSA’S RIVER. “For some people who will come to visit here, this will be just another name to identify this beautiful place. But to me, where the sign stood was the exact place where I first saw you. I don’t want to forget about it even if decades have passed by.”I turned around again to face him, my tears trickling down my cheeks. “It’s beautiful…”“It is. But not as beautiful as the woman standing there and standing before me now.” “Kael…”“The day I asked you to marry me to save my ego, I thought I was doing more for you. I thought I was saving you from a hard life. I thought I was making sure you would never go hungry again. I didn’t know it was me that needed saving—not just from my dying heart, but from my life with no direction. Thank you for accepting my offer, Adessa. I haven’t thanked you enough for taking a risk on me. For givin
ADESSA..“Are you sure that’s what you really want?” Kael asked me again after we disconnected the phone. It was my father on the other line, and I told him I wanted Miranda to be set free. But she had a condition to never step foot in Ironcrest again or anywhere near me and my family.I knew it was a big risk, but the weeks that she was incarcerated with days where no food was given to her, plus the lashes she got at the beginning, should be enough for her to learn her lesson. I knew I could give her more if I wanted to, and my father would not question it. But I had my reasons. It also didn’t mean that she could leave free forever, as I had requested someone to watch her. In a way, perhaps we would find Dexter, and we could have answers to the questions that have been hanging in the air regarding why he turned his back on his Alpha and the extent of his involvement with Miranda. Only the Goddess knew what the future held for all of us, but at the moment, I knew this was the right
ADESSA. My tears fell as she approached me and handed me the flowers. Then she cupped my hands before she looked me straight in the eye. “We were saddened when we heard that you left the territory. We couldn’t understand why you and the Alpha parted ways when we thought you had a perfect life together…”I didn’t know many of them felt that way about us. I thought I was never wanted. But I couldn’t find my voice to ask more about it.“We are glad that despite being a princess, the Alpha was able to take you back. And I hope that you still want to be our Luna.”I couldn’t stop my tears from falling anymore, and despite the many things I wanted to say, I was at a loss for words. So I kept nodding my head. “Welcome home, Luna Adessa.”I snaked my arms around her and hugged her as I whispered. “I’m happy to be home.”I meant to say it to her alone, but the crowd heard it as they began chanting again, welcoming me home before applause rang out in the air once more. Soon, more females and
After I smiled at him, he returned his attention to Kael. “I didn’t tell anyone, even the men at the border, so that means I was not able to tell them to keep it quiet when you arrive. I asked the crowd what they were doing here, and they told me someone from the border said the Alpha and Luna had arrived. So I guess the news broke out, and those who could come, came here.”“Are they upset?” I asked. Even if Kael told me there were smiling faces, I refused to look at the crowd. “Upset? No. They are excited. I felt like I was tending children with the many times they asked me if you were near already.” He chuckled again. “Come out and meet your people. They missed you. I think they couldn’t wait to kick me out of here.”After that, Rasmus closed the door, and Kael looked at me. I could see understanding on his face. “Look at the crowd, Adessa. I see flowers… I’m sure they’re for you.”I finally let my eyes wander, and I couldn’t help but tear up. “I’m so sorry. I never cowered with an
