Cassandra POV “Perfect timing,” I told myself, as I grabbed my backpack. The only person I needed to see was Nate. I was ready to disclose everything to him; this time, he had to forgive me and accept me. I could only pray he doesn't end our relationship after finding out the truth. Furthermore, I was also resolute about leaving for good. As I lay on my bed, I waited for the mansion to fall silent. It was obvious that Marcus wouldn’t be back tonight, and I wouldn't risk getting caught, especially not after Miss Anna had turned me in last time. This time, I wasn’t messing around.The clock ticked past midnight, and I made my way to the entrance of the mansion. Confirming that no one was watching, I bolted out the door and headed for the gate. The rush of escaping undetected filled me with exhilaration. I was free, at least for now.As I took one last look at the mansion, I quickly flagged down a cab and hopped in, giving the driver Nate's address. I pulled out my phone to dial Nate's
**Cassandra POV…** I stormed into the mansion, my determination for answers burning brightly. The unsettling feeling gnawing at my gut had to be addressed, and I wouldn’t let it sly any longer. As expected, I found Marcus in the living room, casually sipping wine, completely unfazed. The sight ignited a surge of rage within me—his nonchalance regarding my escape was infuriating. I had come to confront him and get the truth, and I wasn’t leaving without it. I marched toward him, tossing the book from his hands to the floor. My voice was steady as I demanded his attention. A smirk crept across his lips as he shifted his gaze from the fallen book to me. “Welcome home. I thought you wouldn’t be back so soon; I was starting to get worried about your absence,” Marcus said with feigned concern. His sarcasm was clear, but I wouldn't allow it to distract me. I needed answers, and I was prepared to extract them, regardless of what it took. “Where’s Nate?” I pressed, keeping my voice stea
**Marcus POV** Anger and rage surged within me as Cassandra confronted me about my missing boyfriend. Yes, I killed him, and I thought it might draw her closer to me. Watching her weep over a man who doesn’t appreciate her the way I do only fueled my frustration. “Wasn’t I good-looking enough? Weren’t my skills in bed satisfactory? Why is she crying over a man when I am a hundred times greater than he could ever hope to be?” I fumed silently. It infuriates me that she continues to choose a loser like him over someone like me. Even now, I hated him for taking her attention away from me.“Why are you crying? You should be grateful I eliminated him,” I stated firmly.The pain in her eyes was undeniable as she slowly sank to her knees, screaming while tears streamed down her face. It felt like a dagger to my heart. Hadn’t I proven myself worthy? Why was she mourning a man like that?A smirk formed on my lips as I rose from my seat and approached her. I reached down to help her up from t
**Cassandra POV** Days dragged on, and I found myself sinking into the depths of despair. Losing the only man I ever truly loved was something I refused to accept. I shut my eyes tightly, hoping everything that had happened would vanish like a bad dream. My desire to build a family with Nate—our shared vision of a simple life with two kids—was now obliterated.It felt like fate was taunting me. The tears I had held back finally erupted, and I pressed my palm against my lips, fighting the pain surging within me. “I’m sorry, Nate. I caused it.” I whispered though my voice trembled. My choices had cost Nate his life. The thought of ending it all flitted across my mind—perhaps only then could help me find peace in the afterlife.“Professor Marcus," I whispered through my tears. He had unleashed so much suffering in my life. If I had known my decision would lead to this, I would have never signed that damn contract.Even after he revealed what had happened to Nate, there was no hint of
Cassandra POVWeeks passed, and I steadily mended from the heartbreak of losing Nate, even though his body was never found. He will always live in my heart. I was thrilled to know that my contract with Professor Marcus was nearing its end. The joy I felt was indescribable. Soon, I will be free.Nevertheless, the last few weeks felt like a sentence in a prison. Professor Marcus scrutinized my every action, insisting on bringing me my meals and waiting until I had finished. It became increasingly clear that there was something more sinister at play. Why was I confined to my room? The weight of this situation was suffocating.I began packing my bags, not willing to leave anything behind. I would not let this confinement keep me from my future. My final year exams were approaching, and I was resolute: I would be patient. Once I'm done with my exams, I would leave this city for good and reclaim my life.“Just a few days to go,” I said In excitement, tossing myself onto the bed and staring
**Marcus POV** She was taken aback when I confessed my feelings for her. I’ve battled this realization for too long, but it’s undeniable—I’m falling deeply in love with her. Call it obsession if you want; I couldn’t care less. All I want is to have her by my side, even if it means setting aside my plan for revenge against my brother. “I love you, Cassandra! From the moment I laid eyes on you, I vowed to make you mine, no matter the cost,” I declared, pulling her closer. She struggled to break free from my hold, but her efforts were in vain. “This isn’t love, Marcus; you can’t tell the difference between love and obsession,” she shot back. “I know love when I feel it, Cassandra. Trust me, I’ve lived long enough to tell the difference. What I feel for you is priceless; I’ve never experienced anything like this with anyone else,” I replied, holding her firmly in my arms.“I don't love you, Professor Marcus,” she shot back. Instantly, I loosened my grip on her, a sharp pain surg
Cassandra POV“Ah!” I exclaimed, jumping out of bed. What just happened? Why would he say that? He’s out of his mind. Could he really be in love with me, or is this some twisted game? The events of the day kept surfacing in my mind.“Wake up, Cassie; it’s all just a ploy to keep you tied to him,” I told myself, pacing the room. If I had known Marcus was going to make leaving impossible, I would have planned my escape more carefully.“My God!”I shouldn’t have let myself get into this situation. At first, I thought it was all a joke. I'm certain that by morning, we’ll all move past this ridiculousness and come to an understanding. There’s no way I’m staying in this house—not now, not ever! The realization of how foolish I had been made me burst into laughter. I flopped back onto my bed, shutting my eyes and wishing fervently that this night would just disappear. But then, I knew it was going to be a long night.I got out of bed, stripped off my dress, and stepped into the shower. Sudde
Marcus POV The desire in me grew stronger, I picked up, carried her out of the bathroom to the bed. It took all of my willpower not to keep thrusting. Her eyes widened when I pulled out, watching the dread spread across her face. Her plea sent jolts of pleasure up my back. “Marcus,” she squealed with desperation from my continuous teasing. Her skin had been cool, and she immediately let out a breathy sigh. Her fingernails dug into my shoulders. As I continued to rub my cock against her wet entrance, she moaned loudly, and I cupped her breast, rolling and pinching her nipple. I tugged on it at the same time that I nipped at the one in my mouth. Her knees came up on either side of me, her legs crossing behind my ass and pressing me into her. I gave her what she wanted, grinding my erection into the apex of her thighs. The feeling was strong without any layers of fabric. She shoved her hand down between us, stroking my erection. And she gripped it a moment later. “Just fuck
Cassandra’s POVI sat alone in my room, looking around, it felt like I was in an ancient movie, like a dream.The moon was exceptionally bright, I was starting to adapt to the air but was quite unsure about the aesthetics of the room. I would have to move some things if this would be my room in the long run.Letting out a relieved breath, I fell on the bed with an odd sense of peace, like I belonged here, like this place, despite its dangers, was home. It was strange, I should be terrified. I was separated from Marcus, my only ally in a kingdom of people with strong jaws and claws and yet something about this place pulled at me, whispering to me in a way I couldn’t understand. While I was still basking in the peace I felt, a sharp knock at the door pulled me from my thoughts. I turned, frowning as the door creaked open. A young maid stepped inside, her head bowed respectfully. A tray with a single goblet of wine was in her hands, making me wonder what she was up to as I eye
Bernard’s POVMy mind was a storm of rage, anxiety, and uneasiness as I paced back and forth in my chamber, thinking of my next step, thinking of what I did wrong, thinking of what could be going through the elder's mind, waiting for Lilith to be brought before me.I gulped another goblet of wine as I replayed the scene from the courtroom.My fist banged on the table with my nails digging deep into my palms.Marcus. That bastard. How dare he? What nerve does he have to come before me and ruin everything I have worked for these past years? How dare he challenge me? He can't, and I wouldn't allow him to ruin the world I have built.The thought of losing everything began to show a scene of how I could be banished, how I could have spit and stones thrown at me. I swept a goblet off the table in frustration, shattering it against the wall and watching the wine splash like blood, marking the walls to drown out the infuriating thoughts that were clouding my mind.Just then, the door burs
Marcus' POV“I suggest you go back to where you are coming from, brother; you are not welcome here,” Bernard said, still trying to recover from the chokehold.“That was a smart suggestion, but No, I am here to take back my rightful place in this kingdom, and I didn't come empty-handed,” I smirked, playing joyfully on my lips. “I have evidence that you, the Almighty and most worthy Alpha, killed Beta Jacob.” The courtroom was silent for a second, and then laughter came from all sides of the room except Bernard's; his face was stunned, but he quickly masked it, and it was just a cold, emotionless face.As seconds passed, the laughter became louder, with insulting comments here and there cutting through my pride.I wanted to tear off their jaws so badly and hang them outside to remind people who I am.I was the most feared, respected werewolf in this kingdom. Every word that left my mouth had been law, but now they seem to have forgotten, and I will make sure to remind them soon enough
Marcus’ POVAt the moment I wouldn't call it my home until I clear out all the pests and cobwebs hanging around.The doors to the mansion opened and we stepped in, Cassandra's hand locked in tighter into my arms.“You didn't stay here alone did you?” She said in whispers“They can hear you if they want to, even when you whisper, so anything that comes out of your mouth should be something you don't mind other people hearing.”“Okay, or I could use it to my advantage too.”“Perfect, I knew my girl was the smart one.”“So, who are we here to see?”“I am here to announce my arrival. The mansion houses the throne, and the throne is where I belong.” I explained with my confidence increasing with each word and step.I was expecting the guards to stop me, but they didn't seem well-fed for the job, so they could only leave their jaw hanging as they watched me make my way to the courtroom.We were just five steps away from the courtroom when two guards appeared in front of us,Their bodies wer
Marcus’ POVI stared at her beautiful innocent face once again. I wouldn't deny the part of me that was glad she was coming, but the other part that was just too scared of what might happen to her was more overwhelming.My gaze turned back to the road, the building and bushes we were leaving behind; the closer we got to the border, the more unstable I tended to be. It felt like there was a new opening somewhere in my heart tearing itself apart.This was one of the things I was more scared about: how unstable I could become when I set it into my world again. I had left it all behind for centuries, thinking I had healed, but I merely covered it up with new memories, and now the memories are shedding off.“How long will this journey be?” Cassandra's excited tone cut off my train of thought.“We will get there soon, you won't even know it before we get there.”“Really, what is it like there? Is it just like the human world but with a little more…..”“Barbarism.” I helped her with the wor
Cassandra’s POVI was still wrapped in the blanket, overpowered by Marcus's sexy, strong smell lingering on the fabric.God, it was quite a night, a night I don't mind having continuously.The smile on my face is priceless, I am sure I had the smile on even when I was sleeping.And he thought I would let him go that easily, considering how good he makes me feel. I stretched lazily, hoping to land on his chest, until my fingers reached out and met nothing but empty space. My eyes snapped open and I found him in front of his dresser buttoning up his shirt with so much seriousness.“Where are you going this early?” I asked with a sweet sly smile and a curved hips.“I need to leave early, my love.” He answered, avoiding my gaze.“Yeah, leave to where ?” My tone started to become serious.“ Well I told you I needed to take back what is rightfully mine, so yeah I am going back to the wolf world.” “What?” I scoffed as I climbed out of bed, “We just made up, we just got back together, we s
Baby, You ruined me.Cassandra POV I remained lifeless in his arms like a surrendered prisoner with no hope. Marcus slammed my body in bed and it felt like a lotus tossed in the sea. I became instantly cold and with no time Marcus howled over me like a shield, he captured my lips hastily leaning his whole frame on me. I know I was in for it and there was no going back. He smacked me like he was very hungry or so I had starved him of food for months despite all we just did.I couldn't adjust myself to his pace so I allowed him to take me all in. He Raised my jaw bringing my face closer to his, as our noses rubbed each other leaving no space between us. The kisses ignited the fire between my legs and I began to drop for him mercilessly He sensed it and he moved his hand in between my legs and smudged it like a toy. He played it velvety, It was early for me to get crazy but I was already. I opened my mouth to gasp for air but he deepened his tongue inside my mouth and licked it.
My Soul mate Cassandra's povIt was getting very cold here. My body ached and I felt a swollen craving for a massage.The thought Of how Marcus had fuck me in the bathtub swindled in my head and I blushed sheepishly I feel like I am ready to be his woman and his declaration earlier; “Do you know how much I need this?” makes me feel Lucky and willing to go on with him.I curled up like a pup waiting to be fed but little did I know my destiny awaited me at the door The door was smashed open that moment and I jerked up like a feather from the bed.I couldn't believe my eyes so I covered my face to be sure what I was seeing was not true. Marcus just returned gorgeously naked with bottled oils in his hand.His aura filled the room and my coldness vanished as he moved closer. “Oh my goodness! How does he know I needed this?!” I screamed in my head He smells like a wild cherry and I can only imagine resting my head on his gracious shoulder and eating him up before the
Telios ( perfect) NightMarcus POVWe just had a nice meal and every part of me can't wait to feed on Cassandra The sound of the rushing water made me realized have been starved for a while and I couldn't hold on any longer The only thing left on my mind was Bianca's nakedness. I could not stop longing for her even though she was at no distance from meMy craving for her amplified. I can't just keep my mind off her in my bathroom for a second. I remembered the way she used to scream and clench herself to my body, it gave me undeniable erections but then for a minute I wanted to doubt her innocence the last time I clenched my fist as I found my way to the bathroom, she's probably expecting me since she was taking longer than expected I want nothing more than to get hold of Cassandra's body and guess she wants the same. I couldn't resist the urge to get down with her like right now I would never trade a chance to have her anytime I want.I proceeded to the bathroom putting of
