CASSIE’S POVMy whole body burned badly as I tried to move. My bones were aching and I found it hard to breathe. I was on the hospital bed in a private room in the pack’s hospital.“Cassandra calm down, baby,” I heard my mom say but I was in too much pain to care. I needed to focus on enduring the pain. Was that even possible? How in the world am I supposed to endure this kind of painful pain?“Has she found her mate?” I heard Mrs. Smith ask mom. I didn’t even open my eyes to look at them because I wasn’t actually interested. I pained hiss left my mouth when there was another crack in my body. “It’s too much!” I cried out when I left a pop in my neck. “Sweet,” I heard my dad call and I groaned.“She’s heating up too much. Almost like over heating,” Mrs. Smith panicked when she approached me. “She’s shifting,” mom said. “But it shouldn’t be this painful.

THREE YEARS LATERCASSIE’S POV“Wake up, Cassie!” A groan left my mouth when I was violently shaken by no other person than Aurora. “Roe, leave me alone,” I groaned as tried to ignore her. “Jesus Christ!” I exclaimed when the covers were removed from my body. The cold breeze hit my skin making me to shiver as I wrapped my arms around my body. “Get up, woman!” Roe exclaimed as she slapped my thigh making me cry out in pain. I sat up and glared at her. “That hurt!” I exclaimed as I rubbed my now reddened thigh. She rolled her eyes at me. “You have no idea how long it took me to wake your lazy ass up and you’re complaining about how your thigh hurts,” she muttered as she went to my wardrobe.“It’s not like I’m lying about it.

CASSIE’S POVI was in the middle of my beauty sleep when there was a knock on my door. In times like this, I hated being a light sleeper. I made a mental note to torture whoever woke me up in the middle of my sleep. I pushed the covers off me and padded my bare feet to the door.“The hell?” I opened the door to see my dad by the door. He was wearing a pair of joggers with a tank top that hugged his defined muscles. Even for an aging man, he was still fit and brawny.“You need to start training through the night, sweet,” he said as he folded his hands. I pouted, “Oh come on, dad.” It’s been about a week since I became alpha and everything has been going fine as well as I’m concerned. “Let’s go on a night survey. Get your shoes,” he said and walked down the hall. I sighed and went to grab my trainers before following after him.He waited for me at the bottom of the stairs to put them on before we left the pack house.The smell of damp soil hit my nose making me exhale in satisfaction.
ALDER’S POVToday was the day. I was beyond excited and my joy knew no bounds. I was going to become alpha in the next few hours. I stood in front of the mirror staring at my reflection with pride in me.“By the end of today, we’ll take over our fathers’ positions,” I heard my best friend, Kaden say as he walked into my room. I turned to look at him with a grin. He was going to my beta, my second in command. He was dressed in a navy blue suit that matched his skin perfectly.I was dressed in a black one.“Where Macy?” I asked him. “She’s sleeping,” he replied as he approached me. Macy was his mate; a beautiful girl with dark locks for hair and big brown eyes. It was easy for her to capture my best friend’s heart when they discovered they were mates.Speaking of mate, where’s my own mate?As if on cue, the door opened and Savannah walked in. she was wearing a skin tight black down that showed all her curves. The dress had a slit at the right thigh and I was sure it was backless.“Hey,
ALDER’S POVIt has been two days since that stupid incident happened. But fortunately for me, my pack members went on with life as if nothing ever happened. I was now the alpha but I was not allowed to have a mate.What kind of punishment is that?I didn’t even knock on the door as I walked into the office to see Jack in front of his desk. He was packing his things into a large brown box.He raised his head to look at me and then turned back to what he was doing. “How may I help you, ‘alpha’?” he asked with a mocking tone to the word ‘alpha’. I sighed and ran my hand through my hair.“I didn’t kill her, Jack,” I said to him. He snorted, still not looking up from what he was doing. “You never cared for her so please stop talking about her like you even blinked an eye when you heard she was missing,” he said and I could feel the hatred dripping off every word.“You can’t leave. You’re the pack doctor,” I said to him. He turned around to face me, looking at me dead in the eye with no emo
LUNA CELINA’S POV“Luna!”Vince and I looked up to see Aurora barge into the office. “I’m very sorry for barging in like that,” she stopped to catch her breath but I could see fear in her eyes. I frowned, “What’s wrong?”“Cassie, she’s freezing to death!” tears nearly spilled out of her eyes as she said it. Vince and I quickly jumped to our feet and followed her out of the office. We made our way to the kitchen to see an unconscious Cassie laying on top Damian who looked like he had just seen a ghost.“L-Luna,” he stuttered as he looked down at his friend. I smiled at him and went to kneel in front of him to check her.I didn’t expect it to happen until next year. What mom said was right. I looked up at Vince who nodded at me.“Let’s take her to her room,” I said and Damian nodded before standing up from the floor and carrying following after us. I turned to see Aurora crying silently as we made our way to Cassie’s room.We were about to walk in when someone called my name.We wall tu
CASSIE’S POV“Well, when I first so the woman, I honestly felt like pissing my pants,” Damian admitted as we walked around the pack house. “I never tagged you as a scaredy cat and a cry baby,” Aurora teased and she glared at him. I rolled my eyes at them. “You can’t blame him, Roe. I mean, I fainted in his arms and he thought I wouldn’t wake up,” I chuckled and he rolled his eyes at me.“Can’t you guys spare me the embarrassment and stop this shit?” he glared at Roe and I who were grinning at him. Deciding that he had had enough embarrassment for one day, I changed the topic. “She said I had powers, but I also have magic,” I told them and their eyes widened. We made our way to the training ground where Georgiana was monitoring the activity. I still don’t know why she wouldn’t let go of the grudge she was holding against me.“So you’re basically a witch,” Damian said. I flicked his ear making him wince. “I’m not a witch, dummy. Can you smell any off scent from me?” I rolled my eyes. “
