Cassandra POV This week has been incredibly challenging for me. Ever since Marcus’s fiancée appeared, I haven’t felt like myself. Despite his attempts to explain everything, I can’t shake the feeling of fear that has settled within me. It’s like a wave of envy and anger has taken over. If he had been honest with me from the start and told me about his fiancée, I wouldn’t feel like I was just being used to pass the time. I deserve better than that.“Hold on, was I really used?” I questioned, a smirk forming on my lips. It was time to wake up from my dreams, Cassie; I never truly loved him. So why did it sting to feel him slipping away? I muttered to myself, running my fingers through my hair in frustration. My heart pounded against my chest—why did I feel this way? Was I really in love with him? It sure seemed like it, but I refused to accept that. Confessing my feelings to a man who had me held against my will and went to such lengths to kidnap me was not an option. This wasn’t love
**Marcus POV**I was taken aback by Cassandra's bold actions; a smirk formed on my lips as I redirected my focus. Cassandra's audacity towards Lilith was palpable; I could see the fury radiating from her. It was clear that Cassandra was intent on provoking jealousy in Lilith. After breaking the kiss, she shot one last look at Lilith before striding away.The room fell into a tense silence; it was obvious Lilith had a lot to express, but she was treading carefully with her words, she was aware of what I was capable of.“Marcus, I didn't expect you to be home so soon,” Lilith said, her voice tinged with barely concealed anger.“Why are you here, Lilith? I thought I made it clear that you’re not welcome anymore,” I said, holding her gaze firmly. She shook her head and stepped toward me, but I moved back, forcing her to stop in her tracks.“Marcus, you need to understand—I won’t back down until you accept me. Rejection won't deter me; I've always loved you ever since we were at Fangfire P
Cassandra POV** What was happening to me? Why was jealousy consuming me? The sight of Lilith ignited a fierce rage in my heart. I didn’t want her around Marcus—no, I was determined to ensure I was the only woman in his life. Marcus had made it clear he had no feelings for her, so why was she still around, making me feel this way?My heart pounded in my chest as I battled the relentless thought of Marcus in the arms of another woman. “Get it together, Cassandra! Wake up and take control of your feelings!” I muttered, frustration coursing through me as I tossed myself onto the bed. Enough was enough—this was my time to hide my feelings. “Thinking about me?” Marcus' voice echoed in the room, making me shot up from the bed, startled, my voice raising in surprise.“Marcus!” “Easy there. I didn’t mean to startle you. I’ve been standing at the door for a few minutes,” he said as he walked into the room.“Why are you here? Let me guess, your fiancé left you?” I said, eyebrow raised, not m
Author’s POV As his mouth sucked on her boobs, she let out a muffled groan that set his body on fire. He removed his mouth from her breast, staring at her luscious body.Slowly,he moved his mouth to her breast again but made a circular motion on them while stopping to suck on her nipple. She shivered at the feeling of being sucked. He smirked but continued moving down her flat stomach to her bellybutton.He stopped again as he let his tongue roll over her bellybutton. His finger was twirling around her left breast. He could feel her clasping the bed tightly. She was trying so hard to control her emotions.He chuckled knowing that his next move would make her scream his name in pleasure. Slowly, his tongue kept moving downwards until it rested on the mouth of her red and juicy p***y. She was dripping wet already.Positioning himself, he spread her legs widely and he can feel she thinks he was going to fuck her already."Not yet, cassie. I want to have a taste of you again " he whisper
Cassandra POVI caught my reflection in the mirror and a c smile crossed my face as I noticed the hickey mark on my neck. The memory of last night surged through my mind, and I felt a flush of satisfaction. I headed to the dining room, the smile still present; I wanted to experience that connection every night. Marcus had a way of drawing me in, and I embraced every moment we shared.As I reached the dining room, I paused, taken aback by the sight of Lilith and Marcus having breakfast together. Was this some sort of joke? I wondered, but I steeled myself and approached them, my heart pounding with each step.I sat at the opposite end of the table, making a deliberate sound to catch Marcus’s attention. He, however, chose to ignore me, fixating instead on Lilith.“Miss Cassandra, what can I serve you?” Liam asked, bringing my focus to him. I shifted my gaze from Marcus to Liam and allowed a confident smile to form on my lips.“You don't need to concern yourself with me, Liam; I’ll hand
Lilith POV My heart swung with happiness as I realized that Alpha Marcus had begun to accept me, but still, I held a massive grudge in my heart against him. For all the centuries, I've been rejected by him, treated like some piece of shit, despite knowing how much I loved him and was ready to worship the ground he walked on. However, he entirely ignored me. After his banishment, I felt sorry for him in a way, but then I was happy that he was gone. However, my heart still yearns for him, so why did they mean we're trying so hard to kill him? I took it upon myself to go searching for him just this one last time. Maybe he will accept me this time, and we will pretend nothing ever happened. But then I was wrong, realizing that he had moved on so quickly as my eyes held the young lady staying with him. I felt a surge of anger. The way he looked at her, I could feel how much he was in love with her. My heart broke into a million pieces. If only Alpha Marcus would look at me this way,
Cassandra POVIt's been weeks since I last saw Marcus, and it’s clear he’s been avoiding me despite my efforts to reach out. Each day, my heart aches at the thought of how close he has become with Lilith. I refuse to let these thoughts consume me, but the pain of missing him is real—I love him. The time apart has only intensified my feelings, and I acknowledge how deeply I’ve fallen for him.I stand before the mirror, confronting the version of myself that feels like a mere shadow. I’ve struggled to eat and sleep, but I know that if Marcus were to show up, I would finally have the opportunity to address my feelings head-on.When I hear a knock on the door, my heart races with the hope that it could be Marcus. I quickly get out of bed and stride to the door, ready to take face whatever happens next. As I open it, I was taken aback to find Damien standing there.“Can I come in, Miss Cassandra?” he asked, still awaiting my permission. I forced a smile, but my mind was racing. What was he
Cassandra POVTime stood still as Marcus locked eyes with me, as he had a mix expressions. He drew me closer, his gaze intense and searching. “Say that again,” he insisted. I could feel the weight of his anticipation. “I love you, Professor Marcus.”A smile broke across his lips as he leaned in closer, whispering firmly into my ear, “I love you too, Cassie. But you should know, you have to be punished for taking so long to sort out your feelings.”The force of his words left me speechless for a second. "Punished?" I whispered."Yes." He replied. And with one sweep of his arm, he lifted me in the air and placed me to sit on the sink.Kiss me! I screamed in my head with a strange, unfamiliar need, completely captivated by him. I was staring openly at Marcus's mouth now, utterly mesmerized, and he was looking down at me, his gaze hooded, his eyes darkening. He was breathing harder than usual, and I had stopped breathing altogether. I’m in your arms. Kiss me, please, I pleaded inside
Lilith’s POVI had already given up, even when I knew I didn't want to die in such a weak way, but right now, I was truly weak, so I stopped fighting and allowed my eyes to close, waiting for my last breath. Just then I heard a sneer from him as Bernard let go. I felt an immediate rush of air in my lungs as I collapsed onto the floor with an effort to control the amount of air my lungs were taking in. I gasped loudly.My hand instinctively moved to my throat which burned as I rubbed against it to ease my pain.Fucking bastard. He really almost killed me.The gasps turned to cough violently, and I was barely able to lift my head as his boots stepped closer. "You are lucky I want you alive," he said coldly, crouching to my level."If not, you would be nothing but food for my pets by now and a distant memory to all the maids that hate you, I am sure you know the drill." My teeth clenched, swallowing the bitter mix of rage and humiliation; that wasn't enough, so I closed my eyes."Y
Lilith’s POVThe pain I felt wasn't from the dagger, it was from the fact that I lost to a human.I let a weak human escape under my grasp; what on earth was I thinking? How did she win? Why isn't she dead? Luck seems to be on her side every freaking time.I rolled my eyes as the maid dabbed at my wound with a damp cloth, biting back the urge to snatch the rag from her and joyfully strangle her with it to ease my frustration from what happened tonight. The moron was taking forever, acting like leaving seconds in between the dabbing intervals would spare me the sting."Are you completely useless or is this just an act?" I snapped, my patience hanging by a thread. The girl flinched, her hands trembling as she pressed the cloth a little harder. "I … I am sorry, my lady. I just…” "Just what?" I hissed, shoving her hands away. "Do you think I need your pathetic pity? If you can't even handle cleaning a wound, then get out." "N…no, I can do it, my lady," she stammered, quickly reachi
Cassandra's POV I dare not look back to see if she was behind because I knew if she was, she only needed seconds to catch up to me so I ran like my life depended on it because it did.My knee hurt badly, I could barely breathe, my entire existence was in panic, and I thought….Marcus was right. This was not the human world; there was no 911 here; it was a jungle for the fittest and those who were ready to survive.So if I wanted to survive here, I needed to be careful. I needed to be smart. I can’t trust anyone except the one I am running to.I need to get to him, he is the only one that can keep me safe right now.I almost slipped as my body slammed his door, ignoring the pain that came with it, I banged on the door with my trembling fist.The door flew open faster than I expected, revealing Marcus bare-chested, his sharp gaze immediately scanning me. His jaw tightened when he took in my state making his eyes widen with panic. “Cassandra,” his voice was a low growl. “What happe
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
