Cassandra POV Don't you dare stop now!The light in the room was very dim with the thick window blind making it hard to see the expression on my face. I intentionally picked a light flowery bedspread to lighten up my mood and the lavender scent to calm me down but it didn't work as I ended up settling for the last option I emptied the whole bottle of Aphrodisiac in the diffuser and turned it onSlowly the air in the room became very strong and a bit intoxicating but the pains in my heart only worsened with every passing minute. The only person I want to get hold of is Marcus and I don't want to think about how to deal with him. My patience for Marcus became slim and slimmer. I was turning white as I began to fume in anger I remained posed on the bed till I heard the crackling sound of the door I continued breathing heavily when he finally showed up to my face “Hey, baby!” he said, sounding mighty chipper. Isn't it amazing how a wicked bad soul can sound good despi
Cassandra POV I couldn't shake the thoughts off my mind: the man I had loved was responsible for my parent's death. Maybe Lilith was trying to fool me all this while, but then again, why would she do that? Lilith was concerned about my enemy, the shocking news about us being related, and then Marcus killing my parents was too much for me to digest, and the only way I could let go of the pain I felt inside of me was to make out with him. However, during our loving-making session, I couldn't bring myself to look at Marcus the same way again. I felt a mixture of rage surging through me, but then, I was unable to take laws into my hands; I wanted to be serious that I was making a mistake or making a huge mistake that I'd end up regretting for the rest of my life. “ Cassie, what's wrong? I noticed you have been acting strangely. Did something happen while I was away?” Marcus’ calm voice echoed in my ears, and tears streamed down my eyes. I wanted to scream at him, but then I realized
Marcus POV This was unacceptable. I watched Cassandra walk away from the mansion, and it ignited a fire within me—anger and determination surged through my veins, pushing back the tears. Someone had to be held accountable for this heartbreak. I needed to take the time to explain everything to her, to ensure she understood my side of the story.I needed to make it clear that I was innocent of the accusation. It wasn't just about proving my innocence; it was about her recognizing the truth. It seemed evident to me, but I knew that no matter what I said or did right now, it wouldn’t fully resonate with her. But I refused to accept that I was losing her.I rushed out of the mansion, desperate to stop her, but she had vanished. Kissing Cassandra for the second time had left me with an unbearable ache in my heart. Everything had been going well just a few hours ago; how could this have spiraled out of control? I wouldn’t let this happen without fighting for her.I hurried back into the ma
**Marcus POV**I stood at the edge of despair, watching my life crumble before me. Cassandra had left, and deep down, I recognized that I played a role in her departure. I refused to go searching for her; I understood all too well the pain I'd caused. Fernando had warned me from the start that my attempts to protect her would backfire. I should have opened up completely instead of trying to shield her from the truth. Now, the weight of my regrets was unbearable.I don’t care if it’s labeled a cold obsession; without Cassandra, my world feels fundamentally incomplete. I drove around tirelessly, desperate to find even a hint of her presence. After hours of searching in vain, I finally accepted the reality and returned to the mansion, resigned but determined to find a way to make things right. I could see Damien and Liam waiting for me at the entrance already. That wasn't ready to explain whatever that had transpired back to Lilith's apartment. I just wanted the pain I felt in my hear
Cassandra POV After leaving Marcus's mansion, I got myself a hostel to stay for a few days, I tried my best to hold back the anger I felt inside of me, but it wasn't working, thank Goodness I hadn't Torn my papers yet, all I wanted was to clear my head, then think of a way to get my things out of his mansion. I knew Marcus was capable of doing a lot of things, but if anyone had told me that Marcus would kill my parents, I wouldn't have believed it. My mind raced back to the incident that happened before I escaped from him when he suddenly started asking me about my parents. I could only come to a conclusion, that I was stupid to have trusted him blindly, as tears continued streaming down my eyes. I bit my lips tightly to stop myself from crying, but it wasn't working; why was the universe so cruel to me? The very moment I thought I had love, then I got the greatest shock of my life. Was this the kind of fate I was destined to live? I’d rather die than be subjected to a life of
Marcus POV It rained, stepping into the mansion, and as my mind raced on in thoughts, I thought I would be able to convince Cassandra, but then it seemed she never trusted me from the beginning; maybe I didn't do the right thing, or maybe moving very fast. However I thought maybe if I had told her who I was, it would soften her heart towards me a little, then I could explain everything to her in due time. Seeing Cassandra in the state she was, I knew it was too late to turn back the hands of time. What should I do? I was lost; I felt I had already lost the battle before it began. “ I have been waiting for you for so long, Marcus; what took you so long to return?” A familiar voice echoed in the living room; as I drew closer, a smirk appeared on my lips when I saw Lilith seated on the couch, waiting patiently for me. “ What are you doing here Lilith?” I asked, walking in her direction. “ I came to spend some quality time with you; since Cassandra is gone, we should inves
Cassandra POVI robbed my eyes as I stretched groggily around my bed. The soft mattress hung into me tightly, I didn't want to leave just yet. The loud ring from my phone made me frown. A groan escaped my lips as I reached for my phone. “what,” My voice sounded hoarse and groggy. I was still somewhat dazed. “Please, Can you come over?” Marcus said, sounding warbly. Was this a way to lure me to him? I sneered, “If I were to come over to your place then it would be to pack my remaining stuff.” I coldly replied. “Please, we need to talk. I love you so much and trust me, I would never do anything to hurt you.” He begged. My eyes become teary, I have never heard him sound this way. My heart tightened, his voice sounded muffled and weak. I could hear his low breath. We both stayed silent, hearing each other breath. “I’ll come over,” I finally said, breaking the silence. “Thank you,” His sincere words made my heart flinch. Saying his last words I hang up the call. I sat for a mome
Marcus POV. I couldn't control myself from attacking her; murderous instinct kicked in as she fought to save herself from my claws. “ Please, Marcus, Please.” Her tears dropped for a second; it was magical. My wolf quickly retracted backward as I gazed at Cassandra lying on the floor. In her own pool of blood. Suddenly, I began to groan in pain; it seemed, for some reason, her tears had healed me. The cracking and reshaping of bones resounded throughout the place as hairs retrieved back at a visible speed on my body.The pain of the transformation was so great that I screamed out loudly, and my knees gave in as I fell to the ground. Slowly fading into unconsciousness. It seems everything around me stopped for a second; as I gently unfurled my eyes, I was back to my human form. However, something wasn't right. As I could see a trail of blood, flowing towards my direction. Swerving toward the direction where it came from, I froze instantly when I saw Cassandra almost lifeless on

Marcus POV After handing over the documents to Cassandra, I could see the smile on her face. If there was something I could continue seeing her Happy, I would do so in her heartbeat. I wanted her to sign the papers already, and then she insisted on taking her time to do so; time wasn't on my side anymore; with the way Lilith had been showing up to my apartment unannounced, I feared it wouldn't end well. Anxiety cribbed it as I arrived at the warehouse, the place where I find pleasure tormenting those who ruin my life. For some reason, I wished Lilith and Bernard would have a room here, but then, it was a pity that I could only wish for that impossible. Arriving at the depth of the dark tunnel, I hear a howling sound, echoing. As I approached, the sound increased, and a malicious smile appeared on my lips; as I arrived, I could see William in his wolf form, bruised and chained like the dog that he is. “ That will be enough for now, Damien,” I muttered, rolling up my sleeves, a
