CASSIEHe buried his head in my neck, biting the skin in that area until it caused a stinging sensation. He didn't intend to do it did he?He can't follow his subconscious mind, I have to snap him out of it because if I don't, he'll endanger me as well as the baby. "Jayden, remember, I'm pregnant with your child.""Your mother hurt my feelings, my pride was torn apart. So you have to pay for it.""That's my mother, not me! Please come to your senses!"I was forced to use this trick again where I bit his ear strongly. But the result was unlike last time, where he would immediately move away from me, this time he continued his activities, biting my neck and my shoulder. Because he had marked me, my body's response was different from before. Even though I didn't want Jayden's touch right now, my body said otherwise, craving it. I didn't even realize I was moaning. I reflexively covered my mouth with both hands. Meanwhile Jayden smiles crookedly and his kiss goes lower and lower unt
CASSIEI stopped the taxi because if I kept running, my energy would run out first and they would catch me. "Please go anywhere far from the hospital," I said to the driver. The taxi finally departed. Thankfully, I could breathe a little easier because I at least managed to get away from Jayden. I was sweating profusely, especially my face. When I looked at the dashboard of the car, there were tissues. So I patted the driver. "Can I have some tissues?"Without answering me, he handed me a tissue. I realized he was wearing black gloves when he handed me the tissue. "Thank you." I wondered why he was wearing gloves. "Are you sick?" I asked. He glanced at me through the middle mirror. "I'm fine.""Why are you wearing gloves? I mean, usually the other drivers don't use it.""I just wanted to put them on," he replied immediately. I almost thought negatively that he was a criminal who used to kidnap taxi passengers. Turns out I was just overthinking it. I don't know where he took me
CASSIEI immediately stepped back, wary. This man, he doesn't mean to like me, does he? "I already have a husband, and my husband isn't some random guy here, so don't think you can take me away from him," I said firmly. Instead, he burst out laughing, a typical rich man's laugh. "I do want to snatch you, but not for the reasons you think. I want to take you away from him because you are my lost daughter, my child with Isabela."What? Just what the hell is this? What's with all the confusing people lately?"I'm sorry but if you're going to lie to me, at least make up a story that makes a little sense.""I'm not lying, I'm telling the truth. I did have a one-night stand with Isabela, I didn't even know she was pregnant and had a child as big as you are now until someone told me."However, his words were hard for me to digest. I'm the daughter of Alpha Pack Arcanum? That's really a funny joke. After Smith lied to me for decades, now this guy wants to imitate him too? Why does everyon
CASSIEI was still frozen in place. All the information I had absorbed was too much to take in. To accept the fact that my father and mother still existed, and that they were important people, was not an easy thing to do after the hardships I had endured. "Why didn't you try to find my mother all this time? Why are you only coming to see me now after all these years?""I was looking for your mother, Cassandra. After that one-night stand, I tried to persuade her to marry me, but it will never happen. The Kingdom of Serenith would never allow the sole royal successor, Isabela, to marry a werewolf. She had to marry a fellow witch to continue their bloodline and power. By marrying a werewolf, it will only destroy their future descendants, that's why Isabela didn't return to me, because she didn't want Serenith to be destroyed."I had trouble swallowing my saliva. This fact was too dark, too depressing. Imagining two people who liked each other being separated, and having to marry someo
CASSIE“Thank you,” I said to the driver for dropping me off at Noah's house. Alexei's ferry and his troops had also returned to Pack Arcanum after I got into the taxi. I thought Alexei would force me, but no, he wasn't as bad as I thought he was. I used to think he was a cruel and cold Alpha, but it wasn't like that. I took a deep breath and stepped into Noah's courtyard. This place seemed to have been cleared of clutter. But I still wouldn't be completely relieved if I hadn't met Noah. “Noah, I'm Cassandra.” I knocked on the door. Once there was no answer, I knocked again and called his name. Honestly, my heart is beating so fast right now because I'm afraid the door won't open. Because that would be bad. I bite my nails because I'm nervous. “Noah?”“Cassandra?”I jumped in surprise and turned my head. “Oh my God, I thought you might be in trouble.” I stroked my chest. “I was out for some business and just got back, so I couldn't answer you from inside,” he explained. I t
ISABELA“Your Queen Majesty, we've found Smith.” Finally after a long search I was able to catch him. That man disappeared after I gave him twice the money he was supposed to. Until I heard from my spies that he sold Cassandra, my daughter, to Pack Nexus to pay his debts. That damn man is ungrateful. Even his head wasn't enough to pay for his crimes. The lowly one I picked up and trusted to be my henchman, I entrusted Cassandra to him, but he betrayed me instead. I made sure he and Cassandra didn't lack anything but it turned out that all this time he used the money to gamble, making Cassandra miserable. I couldn't hold my temper when I know he sold my daughter, how dare he defy me, the queen of the Serenith kingdom!Yes, I've ascended the throne to become queen, after father passed away from this world peacefully. That's why I've dared to openly look for Cassandra because I'm no longer a princess, I'm a queen, who leads this kingdom. Even if someone is against me about Cassandr
CASSIEI didn't have any guests waiting for me at the hotel nor did I tell anyone that I was here. So who was ringing the bell and knocking on my door?Was it Smith? He's already in Pack Nexus again?It's dangerous, I can't open the door. I should also call the hotel security to have them check who was acting up in front of my room. "Hello, can someone come to check on room 301? There's someone knocking on my door and ringing my doorbell, I don't dare to check."[Yes, we will check right away. Please stay inside and make sure the door is locked.]I immediately ran to check, I saw from a distance, fortunately I had double locked the door and put the table behind it. Well, I had already learned that there was no safe place for women, so I was also thinking about extra security. Where was the security guard who wanted to check? Why hadn't he arrived yet?I heard something fall very loudly, which made me even more alarmed. I don't know what that person was doing in front of the door,
JAYDENMy head really hurt and I was also nauseous. My eyes were dazzling so much that I had to frown. When I opened my eyes, it was the sunlight coming through the glass of the window. I don't remember my bedroom window looking like this and being this big. I blinked my eyes a few times. Shit, this isn't my room!I immediately stood up which made the dizziness return. The first thing that caught my attention was the messy bed. Not only that, I also saw my shoes and a woman's shoes scattered around. My hands were also numb and it was like they were being held by something. When I looked in the mirror, it turned out that my hands were tied by my tie. I untied them easily. But I still don't remember what happened last night. The messy mattress, the sound of water splashing from the bathroom, and my dizzy head....Shit, did I sleep with another woman? Is the person in the bathroom the woman I slept with?Gosh, what have I done!I'm ashamed of myself. I didn't mean to cheat on C
JAYDENI prepared to deflect the spear Alpha Alexei had launched. But a wolf suddenly jumped up and blocked my view. It wasn't one of my troops, it.... came from the other direction. And what was surprising is that the moment it was in the air, an enormous shining transparent shield appeared. The shield shattered the spear into ashes that scattered in the air. It happened in the blink of an eye like a flash of lightning. After that incident, I immediately ran to the edge of the cliff, looking down. Was I hallucinating? I saw Cassie! She was lying on the ground unconscious down there. I mean, wasn't she in Arcanum? Why am I seeing her here now?"Alpha Jayden, that is indeed Luna Cassandra," Hagen said. In that instant I jumped off the cliff and landed next to her. I hold her. It's true, I'm not hallucinating! Cassie was indeed in front of me."Cassie!" I immediately placed her head on my lap while patting her cheek lightly. "Wake up Cassie." I was still trying to wake her up
CASSIEIt turned out that the special clothing was a cloak worn by witches. Where Isabela said, the cloak can protect all wearers, like a shield, because it has been given a spell. And the special weapon she was referring to was a bottle filled with thick black liquid which had also been given a spell which could be used to splash anyone who wanted to do harm. Where the liquid will turn into a thundercloud and attack whoever we call by name. I think that's the coolest thing I've ever seen. And those witches are used to things like that. “Are you okay?” Isabela asked. She kept a close eye on me during the trip because she was afraid something would happen to me and my baby. “Nothing bad,” I replied. We were still on the ship and would soon reach Pack Arcanum. In the end we decided to keep going together. Isabela left the royal business to those in charge and she told Ben to handle everything. Although there was an argument, Ben reluctantly let us go. He told us to come back safe
CASSIEI counted down from 10. Shortly, Isabela's personal assistant would come to deliver the food like he did yesterday.So I left nothing to chance, when he opened the door, I immediately pulled him inside."Tell Isabela that she needs to see Alexei as soon as possible. She can't wait long. I have a bad feeling if she delays."Ben placed my tray of food on the nightstand and then he swatted away my hand that was pointed at his neck with my hairpin. "Sorry, but we don't like violence here. If you want to talk, then do it nicely, no need to threaten like this."I did it to intimidate him and he told Isabela, there was no other intention."I won't hurt you if you do as I said. This is for the good of everyone. Before the war happens."“I'm sorry but I'm not your man, Luna Cassandra.”I grabbed his shirt collar. “You've been acting disrespectful from the start and I was going to forgive you because you're Isabela's personal assistant-”“Queen Isabela.”“But you're getting more and more
ALEXEI“Do you want to continue searching today?”“Tomorrow, you guys need to rest after these two days of searching non-stop.”“Good, Alpha Alexei.”My henchman as well as the Beta of Pack Arcanum, Ben, delivered my answer to the rest of the troops.The troops were divided into groups that searched the forests, borders, and residential areas. And I was currently in the forest, searching for any caves that Cassandra might have used.Unfortunately, the search in the forest and residential area was unsuccessful, there was no sign of Cassandra.The only hope left was at the border.We have all become victims of Cassandra's tricks. It turns out she teamed up with Noah to escape and now the two of them have no sign of returning here. She even fired stun bullets at us which proved that she had planned this escape well in advance, not a spur of the moment decision.Noah convinced me as if he supported my plan, but he stabbed me in the back. I had a gift for him that I would give him when we
JAYDEN“You better be looking for her!”“Please pardon our negligence, Alpha Jayden.”I threw everything in front of me.I don't know how many hundreds of things were broken, and I still couldn't find Cassie.I really didn't expect her to leave again.After the punishment I gave her, I thought she would wise and realize her actions. But I underestimated Cassie too much. She's the most stubborn person I've ever met. She also had such an innocent face that it fooled me.I felt sorry for her every time I saw her, so I didn't even know I was being fooled.I thought that after our conversation at the hotel that time, our relationship had improved, but it hadn't. I lost her just as things were getting better. I just lost her after everything seemed fine."Alpha Jayden, I don't think Luna Cassandra is still in the Pack Nexus because if she was, we would've been able to find her. But we still can't find her despite searching all over."I threw my sharp gaze at Hagen. "Where do you think Cassa
CASSIE"Then what should I do now? Will there be a ceremony to use your magic?“”No need, I can do that right now by myself."Wow, so this is one of the perks for being a witch? No hassle to hold a ceremony like us if we want to do something beyond our abilities.“Sit down and close your eyes, I'll cast the spell.”I obeyed her guidance, sitting on one of the chairs here. But before closing my eyes, I wanted to ask something,"You're not going to activate the spell on everyone right? I mean, only Jayden won't be able to find my whereabouts right?"“If that's what you want, then I'll grant it so.”I nodded in agreement and then closed my eyes.I was prepared that it might be painful, but after counting the time, I felt nothing.“It's done.”I opened my eyes and furrowed my brows, "that fast? Did it work already? Without the need to feel pain?“”Yes, I just need to cast the spell. It didn't make you feel any pain because that's how our spells work. Did you do something that traumatized y
CASSIEI didn't mean to attack her emotionally, I just wanted to know why I was the only child she had. Because if she had other ones, she probably wouldn't fight over me with the others, right? I mean, there are only two parties, Alexei and Jayden, which I can still handle, but this is three parties, I'm overloaded.“I can't do it, Cassie.”"Why can't you? You have a husband, you have an empire to continue. So explain why you're not making more children!"I knew my voice was getting higher and higher. I said I was losing control of myself because everything Isabela said was a new fact to me."I can't sleep with a man I don't love. I keep mine only for the men I want. And Arlo is not that man. So even though we were married, we never did."I covered my mouth with both hands."So, in other words, I'm the outcome of the mistake you made with Alexei? Because the man you love is not him but Jayden's father, right?"“No, it's not like that Cassie-”"Enough, your answer already proves that
CASSIE“You're right about me cursing Jayden, but I had a strong reason for doing so because my life and death were also at stake.”“What kind of reason would justify cursing an innocent person?”"He's not completely clean, Cassie. Jayden that you are talking about, he is also guilty."I sighed. "What's his guilt? Because he was born to a couple that you don't think should be together? Is that why you're cursed Jayden? Because he's the child of the man you loved whom he later ended up marrying with the other woman? Because of their parents? Because of mistakes Jayden didn't even make?"I sniffled my nose. "A child can't choose their parents, it's a fate they have to accept for life. Not only Jayden, I can't choose my parents either. So do you think he's still at fault in your problems with his father?""You don't know what it's like to be betrayed by the man you love so much Cassandra. When you put all your hopes in him, when he promised you things you've never gotten before, when you
CASSIEI blinked my eyes a few times.Now I understood why Isabela was fought over by Alexei to the point that he wouldn't marry any woman after her, even if it was just a one-night stand.She was like a real goddess, she was so gorgeous.Our eyes met and I could tell they were similar to mine.As if realizing that it wasn't just the two of us, Isabela gave the code through her eyes to her personal assistant who then left.“Come in, Cassie.” She invited me into her room.Actually, this is what a Queen's bedroom looks like. I've only seen it once in my entire life.Isabela held both my hands and her eyes were already glazed over. She saw the pendant I was wearing. "You are indeed my daughter, Cassie. I hardly expected to see you again." Then she hugged me tightly.Even though it was the first time this had happened, my heart could feel the emotion that Isabela felt. Maybe it was because of our blood ties. But I couldn't respond to her hug, I wanted to but not for now.There are so many
