Cassidy POV
It’s dark when we enter the house, I reach for the light switch by the door, but it doesn’t turn on. I flick it on and off a couple of times before giving up.
“No power.” I muse out loud.
“Wait here,” Jordan says before running back to his car. I watch him as he rummages through the boot. “Got it!” he yells back holding something in his hand. He runs back towards me and hands me a flashlight.
“Thankyou,” I tell him taking it before turning it on. The light illuminates the room and for the first time I see my childhood home empty. I take a step froward into the living room, guiding the flashlight around the room as I take in the bare room. Remembering what it looked like just 24 hours earlier.
“Nobody saw a moving truck?” I ask as I turn to look at Alpha Issac standing behind me.
“Nobody has seen or heard from them since the pre-meeting
Cassidy POVI stared at my birth certificate. A wave of emotions crashing over me as I read the names listed as my biological parents. Confusion hit first followed quickly by anger and betrayal. They lied to me. How could they lie to me? I feel the tears start to brim in my eyes. I could hear Jordan and his dad talking but I tuned them out. My body shutting down, the confirmation of their suspicion in my hands.Jordan grabs the paper from my hands, putting it back in the folder before wrapping his arms around me and pulling me closer to him. His touch instantly calming the rage starting to bubble. I turn my head into his arm, wiping the tears onto his bare skin.“I want to go home,” I mutter into his arm.“Okay” he replies and leads me back to the car.I sit in the car waiting for Jordan as he talks with his dad and Beta Samuels just out of earshot. I didn’t know what they were talking about,
Jordan POV I stare at Cassidy in shock as she screams. This is the first time I’ve seen her feel anything properly. I knew she was bottling up her emotions, but this was next level. She screams again as she drops to the floor. I rush over, reaching my hand out to her to try to calm her down before she pushes me away. I can hear someone come running down the hall as she continues to scream and cry. Samuels enters the room and looks at her on the ground, me kneeling beside her. He mind-links me. “What’s going on?” concern crossing his face as she screams again. “She’s breaking down. One second we were talking on the bed and the next second she got all angry, started pacing and then she dropped to the floor screaming and crying. I think she’s finally letting herself feel.” I reply to him. He relaxes visibly knowing I didn’t harm her. “I’ll grab her some water for when she calms down again.” He replies and heads back down the hall
Cassidy POV I wake up to an empty bed. My head thumping. I look around the room and notice Jordan isn’t here. Where is he? I think to myself. I get out of bed and head to the bathroom in search of panadol. Opening the cupboards and drawers of the vanity to no success. I look at myself in the mirror. I look like a blotchy mess. I turn the cold water on, cupping my hands beneath the stream. I bend down and splash my face with the water before rubbing my hands over my face. I look back up in the mirror, my face dripping with water and I sigh. I turn the water off and head back into the bedroom. My headache growing in intensity. I decide to head downstairs to see if there’s any panadol in the kitchen. As I walk into the kitchen I notice Jordan sitting on the back steps with Vanessa. What is she doing here? I grab a glass from the cupboard and fill it up in the sink before turning to get some panadol from the basket on top of th
Alpha Issac was listing off the names of different packs he thought I originally came from but none of them sounded familiar to me. I was an infant when we joined the Westford Pack. Our pack was situated almost dead centre of the state. There were packs every way we turned. There was only once road that followed the boarders of every pack and we called that the safe zone. When on that road you were untouchable. My parents must have travelled on that road to get here but from which direction they came was a mystery.“What about Forest Grove Pack?” Alpha Issac says, staring down at the map on his desk.“Nope,” I reply. Another unknown checked off the list.“Evertree?” Jordan asks, reading from a list. I shake my head before resting it on my fist propped up on the side of the leather chair.“Beaufort Pack?” Alpha Issac guesses, uncertainty crossing his face as he looks up at me.“Afraid not.”
Jordan POVI wake to the sun shining through my bedroom window into my eyes. I groan as I run my hands over my face. A foot kicks me and I roll over to see Cass tossing and turning having a nightmare. Sitting up, I shake her shoulders trying to wake her up. She sits up startled and stares at me. Her once chocolate eyes now shone a bright gold back at me before turning back as she blinks.“Are you okay?” I ask her, unable to avert my gaze from her eyes.“I feel fine? A little tired but fine. Why did you wake me up?” she asks, yawning as she stretched her arms out beside her.“You were tossing around having a nightmare.” I reply. She shakes her head before getting out of bed.“No not a nightmare… I don’t think anyway. It felt like a memory, but none of it seems familiar.” She says softly, walking to the bathroom and closing the door behind her. I watch the door, waiting for
At lunch everyone kept staring at Cass and I could tell it was making her uncomfortable. We ate outside the cafeteria to reduce the number of eyes on her, but I could still hear the chatter from inside. Everyone trying to ask me 1000 questions through the mind-link. I tried my best to tune them all out, but it was hard when 200 people are trying to talk to you all at once. “Does she put out?” I hear a voice flitting through my head. “I heard she lives with you, is that true?” another asks. “Vanessa told me she’s your pet, but you have to pretend she’s your mate,” comes another. “Have you seen her naked?” I feel the rage boiling up inside of me as more and more questions invade my brain. “What’s it like f**king a human?” I slammed my fists down on the picnic table, my lunch bouncing at the impact. The thoughts overwhelming me. I stand up and storm inside as Lani and Cassidy watch. I push the doors open and hear them slam against the wal
Koray POVI push Jordan deep behind the veil. I hated doing it, but it was for Cassidy’s best. I was the only one who can truly protect her. I focus back on Lani and Cassidy. They were scared. Didn’t Cassidy know she didn’t have to be scared of me. I take a step toward my mate and it feels weird. I’ve never had so much control over Jordan’s body before. It was odd being in a human body completely. My natural urges screaming for me to shift, but I won’t. Not unless I need to.Walking over to Cassidy, Lani is frozen beside her. I could feel how scared she was, even her wolf didn’t dare to come forward, to go against me. They knew it was a loosing battle. I grab Cassidy’s arm and she tries to fight back.“No! Leave me alone.” She screams at me, scratching at my arm and drawing blood. I watch as the scratches quickly heal. Another perk of being a werewolf.“Cut it out, we are g
Cassidy POVI gave up kicking and screaming in the boot after an hour. It was clear nobody was going to let me out anytime soon. I laid here trapped and closed my eyes. Koray has basically just kidnapped me, and we definitely weren’t going back home. Surely, he would let me out when we arrived, wherever that was. The drive went on for hours and I ended up falling asleep.I woke up and we had stopped, I heard growls coming from outside and Koray was talking with another man. I hear them approach the back of the car and unlock the boot. I was going to escape one way or another. The door to the boot lifts slightly and I slide my feet under me ready to jump out. Koray lifts the boot open completely and I leap at him, tackling him to the ground. He falls back catching me and I fight him to get off before I manage to get to my feet, and I make a break for it spotting the forest tree line in front of me.“Get her!” a man’s voice
Jordan POVI 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
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
