All Chapters of MATES FOR THE SINGLE MOM LUNA: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Cassie’s POVHe gestured a refusal, so I excused myself and walked back to my table. No matter how I tried to imagine it, I felt utterly embarrassed by my earlier display in front of my boss.I bit my lip and sighed. I was longing for a normal life, and I was slowly making progress. I hoped that Kaiden would guide me from wherever he was now, watching over us.I resumed organizing the documents, and after several more hours, I finally finished. I massaged my stiff shoulder, feeling the weight of my new reality. Since losing my mate, I felt weaker than before. Not completely weak, but the absence of my connection to Kaiden had brought about a drastic change.My father had warned me about this adjustment, but it was still difficult to get used to. Perhaps in a few months or even years, I might feel better, but for now, it seemed like a distant hope."Hey, let’s take a break. It’s lunchtime," Angel’s voice pulled me from my thoughts. She wanted to treat me to lunch to celebrate my new job

Cassie’s POV"Ah, I sent a text message to Angel," I said, trying to explain my action. "I didn’t want her to worry about me being out of the office."We finally arrived at our destination—a spacious parking lot—but it seemed like we weren’t leaving the car anytime soon. Mr. Ross looked preoccupied, scratching the back of his head with a reddened face."Well, speaking of that brutal woman, I got a good uppercut from her," he admitted with a rueful chuckle. "I suppose I deserved that. I shouldn’t have let you see that. As your boss, I should set a better example, especially since you’re new here. If you felt uncomfortable or awkward, just let me know. I’d like to make it up to you."His unexpected apology caught me off guard. He was right; it was unprofessional, and I valued professionalism in the workplace."Let’s just forget about it," I said. "But please lock the door next time. I’d rather not witness a live show like that again."His cheeks flushed even more at my words. "I assure y

Cassie’s POVIt had been two months since I started working for the largest company in Claybourne. Adjusting to this new lifestyle was a slow process, but I was gradually finding my footing. To stay healthy, I made it a point to visit a nearby gym at least once or three times a month. With no forests like those back in Clayland, maintaining physical activity was crucial for us werewolves to avoid falling ill.Speaking of illness, my son seemed unwell. His symptoms suggested that he was starting to experience his Moonlight Blessing—a crucial phase for werewolves where they gain the ability to shift into their wolf form. He was in bed, drenched in sweat. Though this was a normal part of the process, the fatality rates, though low, still concerned me. Charlie had an alpha gene, so I was confident he would make it through.I dialed Angel’s number, hoping I wasn’t disturbing her at this early hour—five in the morning."Cassie? Hello?" Angel’s groggy voice came through the line."Angel, I’m

Cassie’s POV"Brother! Cassie, this is Dax, my handsome and passionate brother. Dax, this is Cassie—my friend and a single mother to a delightful little boy," Angel introduced us.A strange sense of déjà vu washed over me. It felt as though I had met him before, somewhere in my past. The sensation was overwhelming, but I managed to pull myself back to the present."Are you both alright?" Angel asked, noticing our stunned silence. "You both stopped and stared as if you were lost in another world.""We’re fine!" I quickly replied, trying to mask my surprise. "I was just taken aback by how tall he is.""Right!" Angel chimed in. "My brother is both tall and gentlemanly." She winked at me and nudged my shoulder playfully.I sighed, realizing what Angel was up to. I was confused by her matchmaking efforts. I had no intention of pursuing a relationship; my heart still belonged to Kaiden, who was deeply embedded in my soul.Dax sighed in agreement. "Angel, stop embarrassing us. You’re doing it

Cassie’s POVThe next morning, I prepared breakfast. This was the second time my wealthy boss had stayed over, though the circumstances were different this time. Derek had been drunk, unable to drive home, and despite having a driver or servants at his disposal, he chose to stay because he missed Charlie so much. It seemed that Charlie had become like a son to him.I didn’t mind him staying; I trusted him more than people might think. Besides, I was more than capable of protecting myself and my son. After all, I wasn’t entirely human."It smells great," Derek said, peeking over my shoulder at the stove."You’re just hungry. There’s nothing special about bacon and scrambled eggs."He chuckled. "I’m sorry for intruding again last night. I hope it doesn’t seem too odd."It was unusual, given that Derek was a billionaire with a vast empire of businesses and hotels. The idea of him spending the night on my apartment’s floor seemed almost absurd."I’d appreciate it if you didn’t make this a
