CASSIE

As soon as Jayden announced the end of the war and withdrew his troops, Alexei did the same.

I'm sure Alexei also watched me block his spear earlier.

This will be over soon, shortly. My sacrifice had not been in vain.

“You made the right decision, Jayden.”

Jayden, he looked at me as if he knew what I had just said.

“Please don't disappear again, Luna. Because Alpha Jayden could be a worse monster than this,” Hagen said.

Actually it was none of my business, it was his business to be able to control his emotions. But since this time I just wanted peace, then I just silently responded to Hagen.

“We'll meet at my castle to negotiate,” Alexei said.

I guessed right, Alexei would want to make things clear, not just have a war and be done with it. He definitely wanted to make a deal and I had to go along because I didn't want them to get into a fight again.

“Come with Cassandra, no need to bring your whole army.”

I tried talking to Jayden, telling him that I agreed to this con

    CASSIEFinally the whirlwind was gone, and I could see all around me including Jayden. He walked towards me as if nothing had happened. “Be careful.”“You don't think something just happened?”“What kind of something? I've been watching you standing and looking somewhere.”Oh my gosh, that means Isabela had just worked her magic. She was creating illusions that looked like reality. And those swirls of wind were not real. I just found out that she actually holds a great power, it's really amazing. That's why she also didn't seem worried if Jayden saw her, because it was just an illusion. I don't know how she did it. “No, I'm just.... joking.”Jayden raised one eyebrow. “You know, you're acting weird right now, Cassie.”“Yes, I know, because I want this matter to be resolved soon. Maybe after this, I can think more clearly.”“Alright, but if anything happens, let me know right away. I mean, talk through our minds, do you understand?”I wanted to tell him that I didn't need to go to t

    CASSIE “What are the guarantees you'll give me if you break your promise?”I immediately tapped Jayden's hand under the table. But Alexei apparently spoke first. “Your child, my grandchild, I will separate you both if you don't keep your word.”“She's not even born yet,’ I argued. “You don't have to separate us because I will keep my word. I never break my word, Alpha Alexei,” Jayden finally said. “Well, the guarantee is your child. If you only convinced me this time only to be denied, then get ready to separate from your child. I will take my granddaughter with me because I do not want her to be raised by parents who are not loyal and consistent. Do you understand?”Right now there is no better option than to agree. After all, I had planned to hold this until our child was born. To be honest, I don't know if Jayden was being honest with what he said earlier. It could be that he said he loved me because he was cornered. But.... if he was lying, why didn't Alexei contradict him?

    CASSIEI knew I should have refused when he said he wanted to sleep together.I realize I shouldn't have melted this quickly. I know I broke my own word.But my heart said otherwise, I couldn't resist when he touched me, kissed me, and finally we ended making out. It all happened so fast and so immersive. Surprisingly, I have no regrets, I just feel.... confused. I was confused because our chaotic relationship was clearly in order again. I still can't believe that I accepted Jayden and agreed to start over when just a few hours ago I was thinking of leaving him after giving birth. Feelings and love are very mysterious, one second someone can say 'no' and the next second say 'yes'. And that happened to me. I think I have some feelings for him too. Not love, but attraction. Maybe it was also because of our bond and I was pregnant so I was more emotional. So I decided to live this life. I wanted to.... put my ego aside for a moment and listen to my heart. I still have plenty of

    CASSIEEven though we had arrived at Pack Nexus, I still couldn't erase the expression on Alexei's face from my mind. He looked sad? I don't know, he seemed a bit disappointed since I didn't say a word to him before leaving. Only Jayden spoke our goodbyes and even that was answered coldly. “Do you regret your decision, Cassie?”I, who had just finished folding my clothes, immediately looked at Jayden. “No.”“You were quiet after we left Pack Arcanum. So I guess you regret it.”I pretended to correct the tie he was wearing. By the way, we had changed into all black clothes to attend the ceremony honoring the fallen soldiers. But we were still in the car and Jayden was driving. He said he would head straight to the destination. “I just feel less motivated to talk. I lost interest to say a lot of things today. I was thinking about how everyone would respond. Besides hating you, they must hate me too. I was the one who caused the war yesterday.” I looked down deeply. Although it wasn

    CASSIEMy energy was drained from crying at the cemetery while sending the soldiers to their final resting place earlier. So when I got home, when the butler and the maids greeted us, I could only smile slightly. I was actually happy to see Olivia and Karren again, but I was exhausted. So when they asked a lot of questions out of curiosity about where I had been, I just listened to their questions.“You guys still have plenty of time to hear my answers, right now I want to rest,” I replied. “Your room is ready, Luna. Let me show you.”“No need, I still remember where my room is.”Olivia squeezed her hand, “I doubt it because Alpha Jayden asked us to move all your stuff to the new room.”Oh shit, I just remembered that right now Jayden is trying to fix our relationship so he probably wants us to share a room too. “You moved everything?” I asked for confirmation. “Yes, that's right, Luna. Is there something I don't know or maybe I'm missing?”“The vault, where's my little vault in

    CASSIE"What are you looking for?"I just glanced at Jayden while still looking for the small vault box containing the ultrasound results. But I didn't want to tell him, I wanted to give him a surprise. Well even though he already knew the gender of our child anyway. "Maybe you're still unfamiliar with the layout of your stuff here, correct?"I just nodded while unpacking the closet in front of me. I guess Olivia put it in the closet too. So I reached my hand inside. And indeed, there it was!I took it out and opened it with the code I had made up earlier. That's when Jayden jumped off the bed and came to sit next to me. "Wow, what is that? Jewelry? Your investment?"I rolled my eyes lazily. "Do you only know about wealth?""What else can you put in a vault if not valuables?""It's valuables, but not money or jewelry." I took out the ultrasound results sheet and gave it to him. "Proof that she's a girl just like I said."Jayden was quick to take it from my hand, faster than I could

    CASSIEI squirmed as the sunlight dazzled my eyes. Perhaps because I wasn't used to being in this room, I reflexively woke up and looked around, a little confused for a while before finally realizing that this was Jayden's room. Jayden wasn't in this room anymore, he had probably left for work. He put a sticky note on the bed lamp that had been turned off. It read: Sorry I had to leave before you woke up. Welcome back to Pack Nexus, make yourself as comfortable as possible here. From the man who loves you, Jayden.I reflexively winced reading the last sentence, still not used to the fact that he could also be joking and clingy like this. I crumpled up the paper and picked up the breakfast that had been prepared on the trolley beside the nightstand. It turns out there's a lot of food. This must have been Jayden's idea too. Does he think I'm such a glutton that I need this much food? I was skeptical at first, but it turns out I could finish it all! Imagine, a few plates of food a

I've already finished two books in one sitting and there are still five to go.“Hello, Cassandra?”Suddenly my book flew into the air. It turns out the culprit is Jayden. He's holding my book while scrunching his waist. Soon I might hear a lecture from him.“What's wrong? I'm having fun reading.” “Did you hear what I said?”“What did you said?” Honestly, I didn't really catch what Jayden said other than there was a stylist coming. After all, he was busy so I also kept myself busy. I just figured he'd be done with his work. Oh yeah, he's working from home today. Jayden sighed. He looked at me while shook his head. “We'll have dinner together outside. Let's eat some yummy food, you can choose anything. I'll treat you.”“What's the big day?”He smiled and ruffled my hair. “Not to c

    CASSIEMy guess was right, until the end of the day, no more employees visited the clinic. That's good, it means the employees are all healthy, I'm not angry. It's just that I'm bored because this job isn't as active compared to the hospital.Before going home, I decided to put a jasmine-scented air freshener. I like the smell so tomorrow this room will at least be less monotonous.Okay I should be grateful, the first day of work went smoothly except for that one thing.“How was today?”My heart almost jumped when Jayden suddenly whispered in my ear. I didn't realize he had walked in here.“Yeah, sort of.”He cupped my lips, “are you tired?”Well, I'm pretty tired because I'm not doing well."He giggled, “what do you expect? This is the perfect job for a pregnant lady like you, baby.”“Stop sniffing me, let's go home now.” I pushed him gently. Because if I let him, he'll probably lock me up on one of the gurneys here.Jayden put his hand on my waist, waiting for me to lock the door.I

    CASSIEI was still silent from shock and also I didn't hear any sound so I had no idea there was someone behind me.“Oh right, I'm Oscar William, all the employees call me Oscar.”So this is the man who always needs sleeping pills. This man who didn't look strange was the one who did the strange thing.“Your blood is dripping on the floor.” He grabbed a tissue and cleaned the spot where my blood was and wrapped my finger.That's when I realized and pulled my hand away. “I'm the doctor here.”"I know, you're wearing a doctor's coat. I just want to help you because it looks like you're in shock, you're tense."I swallowed my saliva. I quickly put a band-aid on my wound.Suddenly he laughed. “You know, I almost believed that rumor.”“What rumor?”"That you have healing abilities. But look, right now you even need a band-aid for your wound."What was this guy trying to say? He looks like he's having fun and trying to get along with me.“That rare ability, not everyone can have it right?”

    CASSIE“So what news made you so happy that you came home with a smile on your face?” I asked Jayden.It's the first time I've seen him smile when he's coming home from work where usually he's just flat-faced.“Hey, put me down!” I screamed as Jayden lifted my body and then we spun around.“You're definitely very happy with this news.”"What is it? I'm so curious."Jayden finally put me down and we made eye contact. "You can start work tomorrow. I've discussed with the HR department and yep, they've agreed to put you into the head office."“Not because I'm your wife?”"Nope, but because I explained your qualifications, your work experience, and yes, they were quite impressed. So.... congratulations and welcome back to work, Cassie."Oh my gosh, I was so happy. How do I express my feelings this time? I was so confused that I could only keep my mouth shut.“You're happy, right?” Jayden gently shook my shoulders.I nodded, “I'm finally not stuck in this house anymore.”I can earn some mo

    CASSIE-Hey! Wake up!I reflexively stammered while looking around me. Jayden is still sleeping, of course it's not his voice. And we're still in the home theater, too. So who called me earlier?-Can't you recognize my voice? I'm Stephanie."Why are you showing up now? Nothing dangerous happened, right?"-I showed up to ask you something. Do you love this man? Don't you hate him so much? I mean, come on, you're just so happy to be on top of him all night!I covered my face in embarrassment. "Can you please not make it clear?"-Listen to me Cassandra. I might be hibernating for a while that I can't determine. So you have to be careful, don't get hurt because I can't help you."What do you mean, where are you going?"-I'm staying in your body, I'm not going anywhere, but I do need to not appear. So during my absence, I entrust this body to you. You have to take care of it, okay?"Hey but I want to work, I need that healing ability."-You're a doctor too, surely you can treat your patien

    CASSIE"Are you exhausted?"I nodded weakly. I wasn't, but I wanted to pretend so he would carry me. "Hold me, I'm as weak as a jelly."Jayden laughed at my words but he then lifted my body, carrying me in front of him like a newlywed. "Do you want to go to bed or what?""I want to watch a horror movie.""Oh okay, I'll take you to the home theater then."This is how being rich is, no need to go to the cinema to watch a movie, they have their own movie theater at home. I actually wanted to chat more with Jayden because I wanted to get to know him better. And I think watching a movie together is a suitable way to make that happen."Bring us a healthy snack and some water," Jayden ordered the maid. Then he closed the door as soon as we entered. He placed me gently on the front seat. "Why don't you choose a seat further back?""You want to move? Just a minute.""No, it's fine here." I reached up and tugged on the hem of his shirt. Jayden finally sat down too, next to me. He started p

    CASSIEIt turned out that the restaurant we were having dinner at was fully booked by Jayden. So we're the only guests. There's no doubt about the service because this restaurant is the best here. They treated us with utmost kindness and thoughtfulness. The main point is that the food is so good, it really suits my taste buds even though I've been a picky eater since I was pregnant because not all food can go in because I might spit it out again. I'm satisfied eating here and I'll probably come back again. All of a sudden Jayden leaned forward, touched the corner of my lips and wiped it. “Jayden, you're gross. You can take a tissue instead of using your hand,” I sneered. “If I use a tissue, I can't lick it.”Know what Jayden did? He licked his thumb. Yes, licked it! Gosh, I just found out he's such a pervert. The thing is, people were watching us, and I guess showing romance in public is not my forte. I felt embarrassed, like I was being judged, even though it wasn't wrong bec
