CASSANDRA POV"You do not have to worry; everything will be good at the wedding," his words sent a soothing wave of relief, but the possibilities of a chain of events that occur was keeping me on the edge of the fear."I really hope so," I muttered and felt his fingers running through my hair. I closed my eyes, easing up in his comforting arms, and felt the heat of his body sending the calm to my frights."I can't wait to see you all dressed up for me," he said, and I blinked silently. I didn't say anything as I didn't know what was waiting for us. I was not a normal human being, not a beautiful woman only, but a dangerous creature if the myths were believed. I could wipe the people off and bring death to the land. I was dangerous.And, above that I didn't know how to control my dragon self, and what would happen to me after the wedding."Cass,"His voice pulled me out of my running thoughts and I lifted my gaze to look at him."Yes," I whispered in a slow voice and he inhaled deeply
Cassandra POV I was dragged to this place by my hair. It was the lavish Slave house of a renowned Empire, The Castro Empire. My life was shattered into pieces in just two days. The great King of the Castro Empire attacked us suddenly in the morning and we lost the battle in just a single day. We were unprepared for the attack. My only family, my brother was dead now. I saw his head ripped out of his body. The bloodstains stuck to my clothes when he swung the sharp sword through his neck right in front of my eyes. And it ripped me apart. I fell to my knees seeing the loss in front of my eyes. My tears felt less for the unbearable and immense pain I was feeling. Witnessing the sound of steel swords clashing with each other, the smell of blood in the air, the screams of ladies, children, and soldiers, and the frightening bloodiest battle, broke me into pieces. I had lost everything. My family, my empire, my people, and now I was about to lose my Identity. I was the princess of the Gr
Cassandra POV “Get up and get ready,” The lady ordered me. “No way, you people cannot insult me,” I looked up at her and tried to fight back. Her face turned a little stiff and she sat down in front of me. “Look, this is not the correct time for your nuisance. What kind of princess you were? You are not the only one who is suffering from this. Everyone whose Empire loses in battle has to suffer the same. Do not cause more problems for your people by misbehaving frequently. You have already messed up by slapping the Slave House Master and now you are causing another trouble by doing this. He is very close to King Ryan,” She muttered slowly and I felt my anger calming a little down. She was correct. I was not the only one whom they captured. They had captured so many people of my Empire. So many ladies and if this was the behavior of them with me, the Princess. I wondered what were they doing to other people. “What will he do now? Kill me?” I questioned. She chuckled. “You wou
Cassandra POV “What's so special in her?” His voice was rough, dominating, and powerful. It made me feel weak in my knees instantly. “Your Grace, she is the Princess of the Reges Empire,” The slave master said. “Was,” He corrected him, looking offended. “Yes Your Grace, but she is denying to accept slavery,” He stood up suddenly and walked a little closer to me. My heartbeats raced insanely as he stood closer to me. He was so much taller than me that I could hardly reach up to his shoulder. I tilted my head backward to meet my eyes with him. Slowly his fingers touched the strands of my hair tucking them behind my ear. “The slaves do not have the authority to accept or object. They just do what their master says,” His lips moved in sync and my stomach fluttered. God knew what kind of feeling this was. I never felt it. It was like his aura was killing me in a different way. The people in the hall laughed. “On your knees,” His hot and slow voice ordered and I felt knots in m
Ryan POV I looked at the unconscious body of that fragile girl. Her eyes were closed, seems dead already. Her small stomach was bleeding and her face was getting even brighter with the loss of blood. This was the first time when my gaze was locked on someone. Her dark red hair got me attracted. It was long and wavy with great volume. Her eyelashes were long and whenever she blinked, it did something inside me. Her eyes were mesmerizing as if I saw them. It felt like I knew her, like from a very long ago. It was a familiar feeling. “Your Grace, she is bleeding,” a slave caught my attention. I came out of the chain of thoughts instantly. “Lucas, heal her,” I ordered my Beta. Yes, we were werewolves. The one who was known to exist even before the origin of human beings. Our ancestor Lycaon was known to be a servant of Lord Zeus, The Lord of the Gods. But one day, he served Lord Zeus food made of human flesh and he got angry. His anger turned to peak and he turned Lycaon into a wolf.
Cassandra POV I could feel thunder inside me. His hold on my neck was dangerous. The strokes he made on my neck made me feel weak, submitted to him. My lashes weakened to stay open and meet his dark gaze. But, his threatening words took me to a disastrous night of mine. The blood rushed into my body and I felt myself shivering under him. "Please, I am begging you. Don't do this to me. Kill me instead. I promise I won't say a word. You already have Killed my brother. Please… I have no one to share my life with. Please, it would be easy for you… please kill me," I begged. The flashes of whatever happened that night and then the dead body of my brother haunted me. The tears erupted in my eyes. His eyebrows thinned His hand moved to my cheek from my neck and I shivered. "Please," I did not want that to happen to me again. Since that incident, my brother always took care of me and never allowed any man or any talk about a man close to me. "You look so beautiful while begging,"
Cassandra POVI was melting under him like butter. I didn't know why there was so much attraction and familiar feeling with him. It was like I was longing for his touch from inception."Do you even understand what this means?"He feathered my red blushed cheeks.I shook my head in a no.Honestly, I didn't know the precise meaning of it. But, all I could guess was this meant something dangerous and wrong. And from all sense, I had lost my sanity from him.Suddenly, his fingers pinched my bud a little harder and I shivered."I would love to
Ryan POVMy fingers move in her long dark hair. Her eyes were closed and head peacefully lying over my chest as we were in the middle of the dense forest somewhere. I didn't know how she looked nor knew who she was but the feeling was as usual and beautiful.The environment around us seemed dark and I was slowly feathering her hair. It was like I knew her from ever since. It was like she was my home and the medicine of all my pain.The pain, which I was feeling for decades. The pain of inability, the pain of being abnormal, the pain of being weak even being the most powerful one. The pain of not being able to find my loved one. The one with whom I could share all my secrets and things that I never revealed.Suddenly, I felt someone disturbing us. The vision before my eyes broke and the darkness filled in it.My dream broke as I opened my eyes and laid them on the same stupid girl.I jerked her hand off my forehead before she could figure out
