All Chapters of The Predator: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

"No." I took in a shaky breath. "It's the only thing I want to know. I'll leave your pack if you tell me what you did. Please, I just want to save my mother–" "I don't fucking care what you want!" Alpha Cassian roared and I felt my knees getting weak as my last bit of courage slipped out of me. His alpha pheromones were taking a toll on me. "How dare a lowly rogue like you demand answers from me?!" He seethed, glaring at me like I'm nothing but the dirt stuck under his shoe. It hurt my pride but I couldn't speak up. My mouth wouldn't move. "Don't even utter a single thing about my mate or I'll forget that you're a girl and strangle you till you take your last breath. Do you get me?!" He growled. I couldn't help but gasp as I fell to my knees, my head tilted to the side as he forced me into submission. "P-Please…" I managed to whimper out. I want to save my mother. I slowly felt his pheromones go down. He took a few steps back, taking a deep breath before talking to me again. "Go b

I watched my mate walk away from me without uttering a single word in reply. I had a thousand questions rushing through my mind. Fear took over me as my wolf whimpered for her mate.I felt hands wrap around me. I could feel people talking, whispering, and laughing…but everything was in a blur. Pain was all I felt. It felt suffocating. Like elastic over a wound. I needed to cry my heart out. So that's what I did.I cried like a child. I heard someone saying things to calm me down but nothing worked. Nothing could ease the pain. I wanted my mate. I needed my mate.I was dragged somewhere else. My vision wasn't clear because of the tears so I couldn't see. "Ivy…" I heard my mother's broken voice as she pulled me to sit on the bed. I hugged her close, taking in her faint scent as I wept. "Sleep, my child…Everything will be alright…" She said in her usual assuring voice. It used to calm me down but it didn't work this time. Because I knew…nothing was going to be alright this time.____I

Cassian's POVThis is ridiculous.The whole situation I'm in feels like a joke. A second mate? And an eighteen-year-old on top of it?!I really want to rip everything to shred because of the anger and frustration I'm feeling right now.I can't think straight. I'm still not over my mate's death. My true mate's death. My wounds are still fresh. I just recently started giving rogues another chance and the goddess is already playing games with me. Well, I'm not playing her games anymore. I'm not going to give into this sick fate. "Cassian," My father's voice snapped me out of my thoughts as I entered the private living area in the pack house. Everyone was in there, waiting for me to return. I didn't reply to him as I walked straight towards the liquor cabinet and poured myself a glass of whiskey."Cassian, it's only morning," My mom scolded me."Does it look like I care?" I said nonchalantly before downing the drink in one go.I heard her let out a defeated sigh as she stood up. "Did y

I stared at myself in the mirror. The new dress that I had changed into looked beautiful. It looks like something that was made specifically for me. I took a tissue and tried to fix the smudged mascara around my eyes. My aura is already pitiful. I need to at least look presentable.A knock on the door pulled me out of my thoughts. "Come in," I said before taking a deep breath. The door opened, letting the calming Jasmine scent reach me. I turned back to see Luna Evelyn standing there with a small smile. "I came here to get you. Do you need any help?" I looked down and threw the tissue in the trash can. "Can you help me run away?" It was a dumb question I know, but at that moment that's what I felt. I wanted to run away.Thinking about being in a loveless marriage like this makes me feel sick. "Oh, dear…" Luna Evelyn whispered, her shoulders slouching. She walked up to me and pulled me into a hug. "I know you feel like everything is falling apart. I know that feeling. I have been t

I was thankful to all the gods that exist because I didn't have to see my mate's face first thing in the morning. The bonehead alpha had already risen before me and went out for his training. It was a peaceful morning and the fact that Stella told me that I would be able to make friends today was the icing on top. I really want to make friends. Getting to know people and learning from them is something I look forward to doing a lot. I need to be better for this pack. "Mom?" I called as I entered my mother's new room to check on her before going to meet Stella."Ivy?" I heard her voice. It sounded a bit weaker than before."Mom, are you okay?" The change in her voice is enough to send me into panic mode. "I'm fine, dear. I just woke up so I have a sore throat." She laughed.I still didn't feel convinced. I'm on the edge every time I think about her. Her health is getting worse day after day. She tries to hide it from me but I can see it. Her trembling every time she tries to stand u
