Cassius’ Point of ViewI pace back and forth in my room, undecided which clothes I should wear later. Should I wear my dragon boots? Or a simple one would do? I don’t want Wildfrost to think I was dressing up for her. She will surely never let me hear the end of this.No. I just wanted to look more than presentable. My parents drilled to me the importance of how one presents himself to the public. A person presenting themselves to look respectable and dignified would earn the people’s praises while someone who doesn’t bother with how they look would earn the people’s judgments. Since I am the only child of the Silvercrest pack’s Alpha and Luna, I always have to look good in front of the others no matter whose company I have.So I am not trying to impress Wildfrost. She’s quite a smart girl, so she should know better than to think I will do that. In fact, between the two of us, she’s probably the one dressing up and impressing me. After all, it was her who asked me out. Though I must c
Seraphine’s Point of View“I still don’t understand why you just bought a dreamcatcher of all things,” I said, pointing at the dreamcatcher with a red and brown combination. “Is it because you think I don’t afford the ones you actually like?”Cassius shot me an incredulous look. “Just because I did not choose something expensive doesn’t mean that’s what I thought of you. Can’t I just want a dreamcatcher? I already told you about my dreams. There’s no harm in trying to have one.”“But you said it was not a bad dream,” I said, my heart twisting painfully at the reminder of what Cassius always dreamt of— the glimpses of his first life, which he believed was some sort of foreshadowing regarding his mate.I wanted to laugh at the irony, but the emotion it made me feel had stopped me from doing so.“It’s not,” Cassius softly said. “But I really wanted to have a long, peaceful sleep for once. I usually wake up in the middle of the dreams for some unknown reason, and I couldn’t sleep again no
Seraphine’s Point of View "Tonight, on the first full moon of this year, we all gather to witness the union of Seraphine Wildfrost and Maximus Wilder. A bond forged under the light of the full moon is unbreakable, a testament to love, loyalty and strength." I fought the urge to grimace at what I just heard. A threatening glare from Maximus made me swallow which I instantly regretted when his eyes followed the movements of my throat. The raw hunger in it made my stomach coil in disgust. Testament to love my ass. "Maximus," the elder who was officiating the wedding called out. "Do you vow to protect Seraphine, to stand by her side through every trial and success, through sickness and health, and to cherish her with all your heart?" Maximus flashed me a smile before responding in a loud, confident voice: "I do." My heart clenched tightly at the pure happiness and possessiveness in his brown eyes. "Seraphine. Do you vow to support Maximus, to share in his joys and burden, and
Seraphine’s Point of View "Cassius..." I continued to weep for my fallen husband even as I felt someone hoisting me up from the ground. "Come on, Raph. Cassius is already dead. Let's get you back to your room." I bristled at Maximus’ words. I slapped his reaching hands away from me as I took a step away from him. My grief and anger are getting the best of me. My mind is swirling with violent thoughts as I glared at my husband's murderer. "Step the fuck away from me, you traitorous bastard!" I shouted at him, pouring all my anger and pain on it as much as I could. I need an outlet for all the emotions that are occupying my whole being, because if I bottle it up inside me, it might explode tragically. "Seraphine. It has to be done." His words did nothing but enrage me even more. "Fuck you, Wilder! Just fuck you! I don't know what you want to achieve by killing my mate, but I'm telling you, you won't ever succeed on it! No traitorous bastard ever succeeds in their evil dee
Seraphine's Point of View "Stay here for the meantime. I will just have to talk to someone. It wouldn't take long, okay?" Maximus softly said, then he kissed my forehead before leaving our room. Our room. Calling it ours still felt weird. I could even taste the bitterness in my mind. But there's no more use denying it, or even trying to rebel against him. He knows my weakness. Of course, he does. He's been my best friend before he turned into this obsessive psycho that he is. We've known each other since we were twelve. We stuck to each other for the longest time. It was once us against the world. But now... I felt myself trembling as a long, racking sob came out when everything hit me at once. It was once Maximus and I against the world, before I met Cassius. It was us who did everything together before I met my mate. But now, I'm just alone. My mate is not here, my best friend is no longer the same. It's Maximus who is causing me so much pain and distress right now. Ca
Seraphine's Point of View It's so weird returning to my twelve-year old self with my twenty-nine years old mind. I could still remember how I was during my younger years— immature, sharp-tongue, and a fiery temper. It just lessened as I grew older, until I met Cassius and my temper got the best of me most of the time but it eventually matured when we fell in love with each other. My heart twinged a bit at the reminder of my mate. I wouldn't meet him until later when I was sixteen. That's four years from now. The thought of seeing his younger self makes me nervous, yet I still yearn to see his face and feel his presence. For the one week that had passed since he died, I continued to see his lifeless blue eyes looking at me. Even in my dreams, it still haunted me. So when I woke up every morning, my wolf had been itching to break free and run far away- away from the man who had killed our mate. I suddenly bristled when I realized something. My wolf... I can't feel her. The re
Seraphine's Point of View "See you tomorrow!" I enthusiastically exclaimed while waving my goodbye to one of the kids. "Come on. It's getting dark already," Maximus whispered behind me while gently pulling the hem of my shirt. "Have you bid goodbye to the others?" I asked him as we started our way back to our pack village. The other kids walked ahead of us. Maximus shakes his head. I raised an eyebrow at him. "Why?" "I will get to see them tomorrow; why say goodbye?" He muttered, his face flushed. "And... I'm still shy around them..." I chuckled, making him blushed even deeply. "That's perfectly alright, Max. You'll come around eventually." I reassured him while patting his back softly. The beaming smile he responded made me smile as well. It was a long trek back to our village where our parents had been waiting for us to come back. This is our routine during school days, which I kind of forgot amid the flurry of events that occurred. So when I caught a glimpse of my wa
Cassius' Point of View I pressed my ears on the door of the meeting room at the homestead just to hear clearly what the Elders and my parents are talking about this time. It's been a while since they had a meeting that made my parents so tense. So it is no wonder I'm curious beyond what's right, and which is why I'm secretly listening to the meeting. I am the soon to be Alpha of our pack, of the honorable Silvercrest Pack. Our family has been leading it for centuries and so far, no one has been able to take it away from us. None of the members had any issues with how our family leads as well, nor did they have the guts to protest if there ever was. It's not like anyone's capable of leading our pack aside from us. So it's really not that much of a worry. "Is everyone here already?" I heard my father's deep and commanding voice speak. A series of 'yes, Alpha' resounded across the room. "Alright. Elder Sebastian? You can start with your report." "Thank you, Alpha," I pressed mys
