CHAPTER ONE
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Early in the morning, I stood at my window lost in thoughts, gazing at the aura of nature as I saw the Ferris wheel in Manko park spinning.
Suddenly my alarm rang, oops! I was late for school I said as I ran into the toilet, in less than six minutes I was already dressed up in my cargo pants and my fur-like black shirt, with my face cap and nose mask.
I took my bag as I hurried to the kitchen, and took a pack of Pringles, remembering I will need to go to the grocery shop during the weekend.
I slammed my door behind me as I greeted Mrs. Tabitha, my next-door neighbor, couldn't hear me, she was listening to memories by Maroon 5.
I have a long walk ahead of me if I am to trek to school. I pulled my school bag tight to myself as I rushed to the bus park.
''Cassie! I turned as I heard my name, mtchewww I hissed, it's Jonathan again, you look like a shredded falcon and your shirt is outdated, get a new one he said.
I started panting when I got off the bus as I saw Jeffery, I knew I was damned and as he saw me, my day was doomed.
I have turned down too many disturbances this morning, getting out of my noisy neighborhood and finally getting on the bus to get here, only for me to get apprehended in front of the school. I didn't even know how to sort this out.
I stood as I watched Jeffery and his friends come close to me. I looked at the gate of my school, run or stay? It was the right time I made my decision, feeble were the ones that ran.
A second later my head hit the wall, followed by a slap as they bounced on me. I heard a few other students run into the school compound leaving me on the floor, as others stood to watch me cry. We all had one thing in common, we are snitches.
I knew this is what Jeffrey liked, subduing his prey in public and making them look useless, he was the king of the school anyways.
"How many times have I told you to lay low when I am in front of you?" Jeffery asked.
They smelt like Hennessy and cocaine, a familiar smell if you've been to the downtown bay, filled with wanted criminals and drug Lords.
Drugs and sex were the major themes if you've been there before, adding to the fact that we were all omegas, then you have an equivalent to what you can offer.
It was normal to them for a student to die from rape, a stray bullet hitting them, or even a drug overdose. This high school was a long continuous torment, I had to inform myself that I came for studies and not to be bullied. Still, with all my efforts the school was like hell to me.
My face was down and my thoughts were rumbling over my head as he snarled at me. "You bitch!" He murmured as he drew his claw over my thigh.
I could feel blood dripping on my white sneakers, this was why I wanted to wear my black sneakers I thought.
I looked at him clearly and blankly not knowing what to mutter, he had already done far more to me than anyone can ever imagine. I was already healing up, as the injury closes up as usual.
"I don't know why I do this to you every day" he laughed profusely as he pulled my head upward letting it rest on his palm.
"I would have slit your miserable throat if I didn't want to be intimate with you. I can see you cut your hair to distract me from you, but I can see your nice curves and I will have them, and then end you later.
This is the last time I am going to tell you what I want and if you don't do it, I'll come to find you wherever you run to.
Even if you report me to the sheriff of this town, I will ruin you in every way that impresses me. You know where the fountain is, I will wait for you along with my friends.
If you sneak away one more time, I promise I will hurt you" he dragged me close to him as he licked the blood coming out from my pimple, looked down on me with his fierce blue eyes, and walked away, his friends after him.
My legs couldn't keep me standing any longer and I fell to the ground. It was always terrible holding myself against Jeffrey and his friends.
Something I was mindful of since I was enrolled in this school was to complete my final year and leave in peace.
I knew the time I succumbed to his threat and gave him what he wanted was the moment I became useless.
I have learned something while in this school, it was the fact that an individual needed to always have something against his foes.
Something that makes you superior over them, if you weren't useful or reliable, then you were fucked, period.
I dusted my pants as I put on my face cap and headed to class. I just had to hang in there, it was barely three months before the big exam I had been preparing for to achieve my gate pass out of this hell called the school, I had to be bold I couldn't give up before then, I wouldn't even allow it to happen, even if I have to pull the trick out of me.
Nothing and no one was more important than my dreams, not even anyone's advice. I walked into hell by myself, knowing there was no other way but to keep moving.
"Spells. We have been at this topic for a month and I would be happy if we concluded it this week. What other name is a spell called in ancient Egypt"? Mr. Gregory was astonished by the character the students portrayed while in class.
Some were sleeping while others were busy pressing their phones. I could have sworn that I saw my classmates kissing.
I knew the answer to the question for sure but that didn't mean I was going to answer the question, just the same way I never answered any questions Mr. Gregory asked.
Ancient history was my favorite subject and I never took it to heart that I was going to fail it. I looked up from my hidden seat and I saw Mr. Gregory gazing at me, we both knew I could answer the question.
His eyes went dim as he moved on to explain some facts about the spell, he was the only person in the whole school that looked after me. He said I had one of the best chances of getting one of the scholarships in the whole school. Hundreds of people applied every year, but only a few people were selected.
The winners after the final exams are sponsored into the best university in the country. The sound of the closing bell reminded me that I was in class.
Everybody went out as Jeffrey came tapping my shoulders reminding me of his threat, I held myself together as I saw him diminish before me. It was time I and Mr Gregory discussed my chances of winning the competition.

I finally left the school premises a few hours later, it was quite dark. I was already addicted to the dark as Mr. Gregory and I usually spent a lot of time together, especially teaching me in class after school every day and training me in the gym.The competition I was preparing for was mind-blowing, something that consisted of both physical and mental reasoning.We spent the earlier part of the afternoon going over mission plans, playing games, and gisting.I had Complicated schemes and schedules either to win or save, the game had two outcomes, I saved them, or we all perished.In the gym, I sweated profusely and probably stank where a girl shouldn't stink, but this was how it usually ended.I needed to be at my best if I wanted to pass. My luck has finally run out, I skipped In my walking my ears trying to cipher whose voice I just heard. For a second I looked at a log of wood in front of me, contemplating if I should make a run for it, I was a good runner. My body flew high ove

My breath was coming out faster as I ran, I thought I heard footsteps earlier but it was now quiet. I had been running at the top of my breath and I knew I couldn't run any longer but I wouldn't stop.It was late in the night, and it was cold, very cold. The houses I passed were quiet, most people were already asleep. I didn't know where I was but I noticed the houses seemed to have changed, I knew I wasn't hallucinating.Inside of me was unstable as my mind kept trying to collect what had happened, but I didn't want to recall the incident, what I had done, what I had let happen, and the power that got unleashed once again.My hands got cold and my calm breathing began to grow harsh again, as I knelt holding my chest. The image of Jeffrey was stuck in my head, at some point it went blank …. I couldn't believe it, but it wasn't there any longer.I had fainted the moment I felt the control of the spell letting go and slipping away. The last thing I could remember was their faces.I stoo

All that happened the previous day, rang in my head, and the bad scene registered in my head and made me feel sober.The Alpha police were still on the case, as they were the most important armed men in the whole of the East countries. They were only involved in dangerous and deadliest cases.I stood from my bed and walked around my apartment trying to flush the occurrence in my conscience. Nobody knew how I'd suffered in Bloomsville, for sure I had always behaved as if everything was going fine.I sat on my study desk thinking of how powerful and destructive the incident was, which prompted a whole squad of Alpha police to come for an investigation.I always knew the beast in me was an ancient enchantment that had come to reality. I had to keep it secret from the present world if I wanted to live.But I had already left traces of my powers that an investigative squad was already looking into. I felt angry about my behavior and my life. I was already scared of getting caught.I was in

"Hey dear" take a little water and feel alright, I felt a cold object on my lips as I open my eyes slightly. My stomach rumbled as I had just drunk too much water.I finally looked around as I was on a cushion facing the dining. "The food is ready, come and help yourself out, cassie" You are at my house, you don't need to be afraid, he said as he brought more plates to the table. I stood up and headed for the dining table while leaning against the wall.I held the dining chair as I sat slowly, still feeling the ache in my stomach. It felt as if I just did a hundred push-ups.Mr. Gregory sat opposite me and stared intently into my eyes. I felt he wanted to say a lot of things but doesn't know where to bring up the questions from.Do you remember what happened today at the gym? I almost said no.I almost shook my head in denial, not wanting to make things more complicated as they were already complicated.I nearly ignored that there was a problem on the ground that needed to be address

It was a day to the trial, I and Mr Gregory were sharing a snack on his cushion, something we usually did every day after training. I had stopped going to school about the same time I and Mr Gregory became a team, we decided that it would be better if I utilise my time for training, both mental and physical. And it had been worth it, my mind was as versatile as ever and my body was perfectly formed, every muscle tightened and perfected to give a hundred percent.We said nothing for a long time, just sat and listened to the loud radio while eating."Are you ready yet?" He finally broke the silence"No" replied simply. And it was thetruth"How did you feel when you received the invitation?" He asked againI didn't understand the twenty questions, but I figured there was a reason behind it, there always was."Cassie come to the kitchen" Mr. Gregory called out.I was on the ground floor of his apartment building, one of the rooms being the general gym everyone in the building used."I'

We watched as the podium they all stood on lowered slowly, taking them along until they were underneath the hall and covered.The ground we all stood on shook and reverberated as something unimaginable happened before our eyes. The four walls of the huge hall unhinged from the edge and opened up slowly, like literally opened up and all four walls slowly fell back to the ground. We were in the centre of a forest, a huge forest. We were all on the floor of the hall and the hall itself was in the middle of a clearing with surrounding forest all around us.Up on the sky literally just hanging was a digit counter, and it had the figure one thousand written in words. I bet you could see that from anywhere in the forest, I guess that was the whole point"Here are the rules" it was forest eye's voice but on a loud speaker, we could all hear him loud and clear, it was just like another part of squid game"There are no rules in this round. Get to the edge of the forest and get on the boat.

I thought the knot holding me to the tree would not withstand the force of my body being shaken over and over again. So I had to turn over again and hug the tree as tightly as I could. I was getting dizzy as if I was going to faint and I could have sworn that a little of the food I ate earlier had gotten back into my mouth.I was going to dieThe thought came into my mind and the fear inside me ignited. I had not proven anything to myself or to anybody and here I was about to die. The thought didn't sit well with me, I didn't want to die, not now, not yet.The constant hitting and pulling was having an effect on the tree, and I couldsee as far away roots of the same tree snapped as they were pulled deep from the ground. The monster literally held the whole uprooted tree in his embrace. I thought I was dizzy before, but I wasn't, not yet.He swung the tree in his arms here then there, trying to shake me off the tree. I didn't even realise when I closed my eyes, and I was really ge

It stood facing the water with me still in its grip. It's hold on me was no longer tight and my ribs had fully mended. I had no idea what it wanted with me until it walked forward towards the water, as if to dive inside, then everything clicked.This monster wasn't comfortable eating me because it wasn't in its natural habitat, it had been forced to kill and eat the player that attacked earlier but that was all. I on the other hand was going to be taken into the water where it actually lived, to be properly eaten. I needed to get out of its grip if I intended to live, if I got into the water with it, it was game over for me.I tried extending one of the fingers I had stuck in its palm. It was hard and it felt squished against my body but I did it anyway. When my finger was aimed at a part of its body, I immediately called my wolf to the surface.This was very risky because all the time I had called my wolf, people died because I didn't have control of my powers, but I didn't exact

Our footsteps rang out as we walked back into the castle. The noise of the crowd was still reaching my ears after that little speech I and Hades gave. I thought we would get back into the elevator and then back into the new suite that I was staying in but Hades pulled me into one of the rooms in the hallway then closed the door on the guards that were accompanying us."Are you okay?" He asked, looking worried."I am" I replied as I nodded.Our heads both bent down to look at my stomach. It was showing a little bit for over three months."You told them about the baby" I said to him "I did. They were excited for us" he replied with a soft smile"I need to keep you safe," he said, pulling me close. He looked really very worried again."I am safe with you. I promise I won't let pride or any sort of duty keep me from protecting peanuts here. Apart from you, he is the single most important person in my life" I said to him earnestly.He immediately pulled me close and shoved his face into m

A shot came out of nowhere. I was facing Hades and we were both talking about something, now that I think about it I can't remember what it was we were talking about, but a shot came high above from the left side and it came for me. Hades was fast and immediately removed me from the position, and I heard the loud boom that followed it's impact on where I just left. Hades held me tight to him and we were suddenly moving very fast. The guards that were hiding immediately appeared and surrounded us. They had shields out that were covering I and Hades as we rushed back to the palace. Several other loud sounds followed us, very close to where we were but managed not to hit anyone. We were soon inside the palace and I could hear barks of orders from Hades as he shouted at the guards. He went into the elevator and then down underground to the several floors of building we had.He was breathing heavily by the time we appeared inside a new suite. He sat me on the very good looking couch i

We went home silently and uneventfully. The barrier was easy to breach of course with the help of forest whom by the way I hadn't seen once on this entire trip, I was too down and exhausted to play with him and all I wanted to do was go to sleep. The royal demon wolf guards were waiting for us when we arrived and they immediately escorted us back to the castle.The castle was quiet when we arrived, almost as if it had been completely cleared out before we arrived. Hashira and a few familiar council members were waiting for us but I ignored them as well and went straight into our bedroom. It was a little while before Hades joined me. By the time he arrived I was under heaps of blankets shivering and my teeths chattering because I was so very cold. All he did was find me amidst the mountain of blankets and then he held me close."Hades" said after my body had calmed down."Yes?" He asked."You are in love with me" I said softly.He was quiet for a moment, but he couldn't deny it. I t

"It is nice out today" I said to him after a while."Isn't it? I am glad you like it" he replied."Rain is coming though" I said, my eyes trained on the dark clouds far in the horizon, watching them as they got closer and closer to where we were."Yes I see that as well. We can't stay out for long, we have to get back soon" he replied."Of course," I said as I nodded."Where do you want to go in particular?" He asked me.I looked around at the far outstretched land in front of me. The huge grassy field we were currently on. To my far left was a very dense looking forest and to my far right was the edge of a cliff."Let's go to the cliff. I hear it's an amazing view" i said pointing at my right."As you wish" he said as we headed that way."Woah" I whispered the moment my feet touched the ground.The view in front of me was absolutely breathtaking. Even more so than the way Angela had described it for me.There was a small waterfall right underneath the cliff and after that was a vast

"What is the number one priority to both of us?" He asked."Obviously the barrier and making sure it remains unbreached" I replied."Exactly. We have to focus everything that we have on that, together as a team. This is a new evil that we are facing and we do not know how strong this force is and what it is truly here to do. What I know is that we stay together, at all times, promise me" he said as he looked into my eyes."I promise. Together "I promised him."Good" he said as he nodded " I'II scheduled that visit to the facility. Let us see face to face what we are dealing with" he said to me."Yes" I said. My heart was really heavy and I just had to lay my head on the table, trying to stabilise myself. What was all this coming from? I didn't like it one bit, it was honestly not good for my mental health."Hey. Let us go to your horses" he said as he pulled me up and literally had to drag me with him as we walked out of the study."How are you so cheerful? After what we just heard"

I woke up the next day happy and feeling lighter than I have felt in a very long time. I left Hades on the bed and went ahead with my morning body routine in the bathroom and dressed down before leaving our room. It was around eight and I knew Hades would stay asleep till early noon. I was sure we didn't have any plans.went to the kitchen and immediately made toast and then made coffee in a takeaway cup before leaving the castle through the side door. I hurried to the stable where I found that they were already feeding the horses for the morning."My Queen" bowed Angela. She was one of the many workers I met yesterday, she was a little younger than me, tall with beautiful dark hair and blue eyes "Hello Angela. You are all up early" I said as I looked around."Good morning""Morning my Queen"Several of the workers said as they saw me."Good morning everyone" I said out loud.Looking at them now there were not as many as they were yesterday. If anything they had reduced by half. I co

We spent the rest of the evening soaking up in the tub before we came out and finally got that wash down from my husband. We both came out of the bathroom and then into the closet room before dressing up as comfortably as we could."I will have the servants ready the snacks. You go ahead" I said to him as we parted ways at the top of the stairs. I went down and headed straight to the kitchen where I met with several of the cooks there."Hello. I am glad you haven't finished up for the evening" I said to them as I smiled.About three women were marinating chicken while two other males were stocking up the pantry. They all wore uniforms and looked very professional and coordinated."My queen" they said as they all bowed."You are all busy. Let me do it myself" | grumbled to myself as I went ahead to look for where the corn was kept. I found the butter, sugar and milk. But where was the...?"Here my queen" said one of the women as she passed me a bag of corn seeds.It was easy from heat

We went back to the castle silently. The mood between us was dull and tense, like a tight rope being stretched, any moment now it would reach its elastic limit and snap. I could just feel it. We walked into the castle and I could see that Hades was struggling to say something."Let me go freshen up" I said softly to Hades without looking at him.I immediately turned and walked away, climbing the stairs and getting back into our room. I needed some privacy. I walked into the bathroom and shut the door, then immediately pulled out my body care products. I felt the need to pamper myself. I needed to distract myself from everything or I felt like I would just shatter.I spent most of the day first of all taking care of my hair. It was now long rather than the short hair it used to be, and now hair wash days were no longer a breeze the way they used to be. It took me forever to pre-poo, then shampoo, deep condition, leave in conditioner and then seal my hair, before finally styled it.

"You do know that most of us at the academy were related to royalty one way or the other right?" She asked incredulously."Really? I always just thought your grandparents or fathers were all commanders or something" I replied."Well about seventy percent yes. In Fact I think almost all of the students at the academy are one way or the other related to a Commander. A lot of us in the other hand, are related to royalty. Like me" she explained."That explains how you were so grounded, you grew up basically knowing that you were going to rule Lamar one day" I said."Exactly" she replied "so how have you been? Is there a reason why you haven't aged a day since you left?" She added, looking at me with pure envy."Time is slower there" I replied in a chuckle "you still look beautiful by the way, royalty fits you" I said to her.We laughed it off and continued our small talk. It was really nice catching up with her."Where are the guys? Emily and Bryan? Achu and Anthony?" I asked her eagerly.
