Jordan POV
I knew Cass was mad at me but I had decided to just let it run its course. She would forgive me eventually. I mean she had to right? We were living in the same house after all. She couldn’t really escape me. I tried to talk to her during dinner but she kept ignoring me. Nina was ignoring Koray too and it was driving him crazy.
After dinner she raced back upstairs and I did the dishes. Dad had left to go talk with Samuels about Reign. He'd be mad once he found out I helped her escape. I couldn’t let my sister basically rot in a jail. I knew she had done some shitty stuff but she was still my sister. After I finished the dishes I head upstairs and shower. Standing under the water I felt myself relaxing. The hot water relaxing my muscles. I wash my body and hair before rinsing off and getting out.
Drying off I throw on some sweatpants and sigh. I decide to do a bit of homework. After about an hour of homework I turn on my gam
My eyes flash open. It’s dark. I can barely make out more than five metres in front of me. I stand, feeling the cool air wash over me, a nice light breeze blowing through the trees. It’s quiet. The only sounds I hear are my heart beating rapidly in my chest and the trees rustling in the wind. I don’t even hear any animals. Strange. I must be deep in the woods. I take a step forward, feeling the forest floor crunch beneath my feet.Where are my shoes? I think to myself. Looking down I notice I’m completely naked. That explains the goosebumps running down my spine. Cuts covering my body but from what? I look at my hands as they start to tremble. Both of my wrists covered in a think bruise. Chained up? I wonder. I gently touch the bruise surrounding my left wrist.“Ouch!” I wince out loud, hissing through my teeth. I turn my right hand over, noticing a mark carved into my palm. A wave of fear washes over me.
Lunch time, finally, I think to myself as I walk to my locker. English was such a drag, listening to Mrs Grant talk was like listening to nails scraping across a chalkboard; I shudder at the thought.“Hey Cass” I hear a males voice shout from behind me. I turn to see Byron running up to me.“Hey Byron, how was your weekend?” I ask as he catches up to me and we turn, walking to my locker together.“Great actually. Went camping by the lake with my folks and let Chase out for a run. He loves the lake.” I laugh. Chase was Byron’s wolf. They both had dark brown hair with caramel eyes. Byron was tall and he was cute in that effortless kind of way that made girls swoon when he smiled. “So, what about you? What did you get up to?” he questions.“Not much, just chores and homework. We have that group assignment coming up next week for Maths.” I remind him, knowing he has forgotten again des
“WHAT!” I yell, panicked I look for my dad who has now vanished from the room. How could he let me be sacrificed?!“Don’t be alarmed, it’s for a good cause. We have decided to start a new tradition, honouring the Moon Goddess and the other spirits of the land and sky. It’s a great honour.” Alpha explains in a calm voice sounding very sure of himself.“What will the sacrifice achieve Alpha?” Beta Samuels asks pulling out a very large knife. I gulp as I stare at the knife. My panic evident on my face.“We hope the sacrifice will please the Moon Goddess and in return she will bless our pack with protection.”“Are we not already well protected Alpha?” Another woman’s voice speaks from behind me. I turn to see it’s one of the pack trainers. “We are. However, one can never be TOO well protected.” His voice lifting at the end. Suddenly I hear laugh
Jordan POVThe girls gossip to each other while we wait for dad to finish his goodbyes. I was always bored after pack meetings because he never stops talking to everyone. ‘The people’s Alpha’ they called him. Everyone considered him more of a friend than an Alpha.I watch my interim mate as she fiddles with a hair tie around her wrist. Something was off with Cassidy. She was worried about something, but I’m not sure what. I never noticed how cute she was before. Her dark olive skin had a glow about it that was hard to explain. Chesnutt waves ran down her back just touching the floor where she sat. She looks over at me and smiles, dimples slightly forming as she does, but the smile doesn’t quite reach her chocolate eyes.“You, okay?” I mouth to her and she nods once before calling my dad over.Dad hands me the keys and tells me to take Cass back to our place until they can find her parents. It wasn
Cassidy POVI wake to the sun shining in my eyes from the open window. I felt exhausted from tossing and turning all night. I open y eyes to see Jordan watching me before he smiles.“Morning,” he says. He pulls my hand off his chest. I didn’t even realise I was laying across him. Getting up he walks to the bathroom closing the door behind him. I roll onto my back relaxing into the soft mattress. It was like laying on a cloud, no wonder he always looked well-rested.“Dad will be back this afternoon, he’s gone to meet with neighbouring pack Alpha’s about your parents,” Jordan yells out from the bathroom. I sit up suddenly, forgetting my parents were missing for a split second. Oh God. I jump out of bed and rush out of the bedroom down the hall to Reigns room.I grab my clothes, heading to the bathroom I strip off and jump in the shower. Turning the taps on I hear a soft knock at the door. I
Jordan POV“I’m sorry, dad just told me hunters have been spotted near the house. He wants me to keep you safe.” I tell Cassidy. She looks scared.“Why are there hunters on pack land and why are they near the packhouse?” she asks.“I don’t know. Dad didn’t say but we need to stay in here until he says it’s safe.” I hug her, feeling her calm at my touch. Maybe I could love her, I thought to myself.“You could if you tried,” Koray says, enjoying her touch just as much as I was. “She smells pretty, and she’s soft. Vanessa wasn’t soft.”“Vanessa was a way to kill time, I was glad dad told me to dump her,” I reply to him. Cassidy pulls out of the hug and goes to sit on my bed.“Can we talk?” she asks.“About your parents?” I reply as I make my way over to the bed. She nods as I sit do
I take a step back reluctantly, not wanting to pull away from his arms. His question shocked me. I know we are supposed to be mates, but we are only interim mates. An arranged relationship. Did he actually want a real relationship with me?“I…I can’t.” I get out of the shower grabbing my towel before rushing out the bathroom door. I hr the water shut off in the shower as I get dressed. Leaving my towel on his bed I head for the door.“Cass wait,” Jordan shouts from the bathroom.I reach for the doorhandle turning it. Locked. The safety protocol. How could I forget that we were trapped in here together.“I need to get out,” I shout back at Jordan as he exits the bathroom partially dressed. His muscles shine in the light, still covered in water droplets. He was beautiful and it was effortless. He stood there resting one arm against his dresser whilst drying his hair with the other.“It&r
I put her in my bed before heading back downstairs. Dad had come home and was talking in the lounge room with Samuels. They were arguing about something.“What’s going on?” I ask when I get down the stairs. I walk towards them leaning over the back of the couch waiting for their reply. Dad turns towards me, one hand on his hip and the other wiping down his face before rubbing the stubble on his chin. His brown eyes looked concerned.“Samuels here thinks Cassidy was adopted, which is crazy because she’s a werewolf and we’ve known her since she was a baby.” Dad replies, turning back to face Samuels. “And even if she was adopted, why did they keep it a secret and where did she come from?” he continues.“I mean, I kind of agree with Samuels here dad. Look at it logically. Cass looks nothing like either of her parents, never has. Nobody saw her mum pregnant right?” I say jumping over the back of the co

After Lani and Vanessa left I headed back upstairs. Walking into my room something felt off.“Reign was in here,” Nina says sniffing the room.She takes control and I watch as she follows the scent to the bed. She slides her hand under the pillow and pulls out a letter.“Lock the door,” I tell her and she runs over closing the door and locking it before jumping back on the bed.“What does it say?” I ask.She opens the letter and I push against the veil wanting to read what it says.‘Dearest Cassidy,I’m sorry Quintin and I had to leave so suddenly. I felt that it was no longer safe for us to be here. We have gone to find the forth Elemental. With the hunters close by we can’t risk being vulnerable. Please take care of my brother.See you soon,R’“She left to find the forth?” Nina questions.“What does she know about the hunters t
“You’re so tall?” One person questions.“I don’t believe you’re special,” someone else says.“I can finally talk to you,” I hear Jordan say and Nina turns to look where we last saw him. He smiles at us and I force a growl through Nina.“Can we talk please?” he asks. Nina turns back to face everyone before shifting back.The shift forcing me forward and back in control. I start to panic when I realise I’m naked in front of everyone again. I suddenly feel a towel around me and notice Jordan covering me. I shrug him away but Nina thanks him.“Alright everyone, today we have initiated four new pack members, they are only junior members of the pack. Which means they only do junior member things such as training and participating in pack runs. I do not want to see them on boarder patrols or taking charge of anything. They are not full pack members until they turn eighteen, I sh
“So is this it? A piece of my potential is in this little crystal?” I ask staring at it, watching the light shine through creating thousands of tiny rainbows.“Yes so be careful with it. You don’t want to accidentally break it.” Apollo states.“What happens if I break it?”“You loose that potential,” Leto says.“But how do I get my potential back if I can’t break it?”“You need this box and all five of you.” Artemis says, handing me a wooden box.“What’s this for and five of us?”“Yes there are five of you. One for fire, one for water, one for earth, one for wind and one for spirits,” Apollo says casually. “As for the box, you each have one. You need to stack all five boxes and complete the movements in sync to be able to unlock you potentials from the crystals.”“That sounds super complicated&hell
I wake to a knock on the bedroom door. When did I get into bed? I think to myself as I look around the bedroom. I was back in control, Nina fast asleep behind the veil. I sit up as there is a second knock on the door.“Come in,” I yawn, rubbing my eyes.The door opens and Alpha Issac steps in the bedroom. His smile not quite reaching his brown eyes.“Hey Cass, sorry to bother you, just wanted to let you know that there will be a pack meeting at dawn and I was hoping you’d be initiated into the pack if you wanted?” He sits on the edge of the bed.Initiated into the pack. I hadn’t even thought about it. I wake Nina up wanting her input. Once we joined a pack, we would be marked and everyone would know which pack we were from. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to be initiated into the pack.“It’s all we’ve known,” Nina says.“I know but I have this odd feeling there’
Cassidy POVI packed my clothes into the empty dresser before showering. The feeling of hot water running across my body felt amazing. The scent of pomegranate blending in with the harsh stench of wolfsbane and fuel that hung in the air. I stared at my body as I lathered the soap, noticing indents in my skin where I hadn’t finished healing. My own body felt foreign. Having only washed my arms, I sit on the floor of the shower. Not yet willing to bring the washcloth between my legs. It still hurt. I needed to be clean of him but I couldn’t bring myself to touch where he had been. He had been all over me and my body belonged to him. I put my face between my legs and began to cry.“It’s still our body,” Nina said.“It’s not mine,” I snapped back at her and I felt her retreat.I didn’t need to be lectured right now. She felt the pain just as much as I did yet she seemed to think it wasn&rs
Jordan POV Dad was yelling at me through the mind-link for crossing the border and going after Cassidy endangering Lani and Vanessa. I knew I was in the sh*t when I told him we were coming. Felix, dads wolf was standing over me. His black fur was standing up. I hated when Felix took control, he was so much more aggressive than dad was. Dad suddenly goes silent; Felix’s ears perk up and his head turns to the section of weeds we ran from. Koray follows his line of sight and suddenly Nina comes charging out of the woods and tackles Koray. She starts biting and attacking him Felix bites her neck and pulls her off. She turns and claws at his face and he growls, the scratch across his eye starting to heal. She backs down and shifts back. Cassidy stands up apologising to Felix. “I’m so sorry Alpha, I didn’t realise it was you.” She bows her head ashamed of her actions. Felix shifts back and dad walks over and hugs her. “Its okay, I understan
Cassidy POVI could see Jordan was mind-linking with someone. He walked behind me pulling at my ropes before jumping back, the wolfsbane burning his fingers. Good. I thought to myself. It was the least he deserved. I hear a blade slice through the ropes behind me and my legs drop down. They were sore from being spread out and tied behind me for so long. I was grateful to be able to close my legs. I felt the knife cut through the ropes holding my head and for the first time in however long I’ve been trapped here I could move it. He frees my arms last and I collapse on the floor. The weight of my body too heavy for my weakened state.I feel his arms helping me up and I growl at his touch. I let Nina take control as she had more strength than I did. She shifted and it was painful. It felt like the first time again. This time the anger inside was fuelling her. I watch as Jordan also shifts and backs away. Nina growls at him before she stops
[Hey guys, same as last chapter if you are triggered by those things please skip over this entire chapter, you will be good to go from chapter 34]Cassidy POVI wake up to the feeling of hands on me. I open my eyes and see one of my captors is standing close to my face. I feel his hands on my breasts as he fondles them and plays with my nipples. Dread sets in and I feel uncomfortable. I tug on the ropes trying to get away from him but they were as tight as ever. Nina growls furious they would touch me and wanted to shift but she was too weak. The wolfsbane made us too weak to fight back against his wandering hands.“Dude are you really going to let him assault her?” I hear Jordan’s voice.My eyes flick to his direction and I see him standing with the torturer. Shocked to see him here I stare at him. Nina was furious he would even allow it but all I could do was stare at him. How could he allow them to to
