All Chapters of MATES FOR THE SINGLE MOM LUNA: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Cassie’s POV"Take this, please." I heard Angel's voice as she stopped the car, and I didn’t realize I had been crying until then.I managed a weak laugh. "I’m sorry if I seem strange. I just miss my husband. If he were still here, maybe I’d be happier. Maybe if I had managed to save him…"Angel embraced me, offering the comfort I needed. "I know there are many uncertainties in our lives, and it makes us restless. If we could just travel back in time, we might be able to change our past. But we’re just ordinary people, with no choice but to move forward. I understand how heavy this feels. I’m my brother’s support, so I understand his pain, but don’t let it consume you." Her words made me feel better. The wounds in my soul and heart were starting to heal, becoming more bearable with time."As always, thank you for your kind words," I said. "If I hadn’t met you, I wouldn’t know where to start over. You help me have fun, enjoy life, do my job, and accomplish things that were difficult wit

Cassie’s POVI was the sole reason Derek had left, the woman who had driven him away and made him promise never to contact me again. Strangely, this seemed to make it easier for me to move on, rather than clinging to a glimmer of hope.He never reached out to me again, and he never sought me out. Part of me had hoped he would come after me, but that never happened.Now, I was focused on starting anew. I arrived at my new workplace with the hope of a fresh beginning. As I stepped inside, I was greeted by a smiling guard. Angel, who had started a few weeks ago, was away running errands at another branch, so she wasn’t there to welcome me.It would have been a lie to say I wasn’t nervous. Despite being a werewolf, I felt as pale as a vampire. But it was now or never—either I would make this work, or I would falter. I hoped my new employer would be far better than Derek. I had learned my lesson the hard way and now knew where to draw the line.I entered the elevator, seeking comfort in the

Cassie’s POV"Ah, that’s a different story," Dale said with a smirk. "She’s one of the sassiest and most annoying people I’ve ever met, but she’s also very competent." I was flattered by his assessment."Are we able to bargain?" he proposed, locking his gaze on me."Of course!" I responded, surprised at my own eagerness.Dale vanished from the room in an instant, leaving Derek with a wide grin. However, my concern remained—Derek looked emaciated, exhausted, and in poor health."You need to start taking better care of yourself," I said, unable to mask my frustration. "I can’t believe you’ve let yourself get like this. You’ve always been someone who valued his health.""Of course," Derek murmured, his voice heavy with longing. "As long as you’re by my side, I’ll always have a reason to do well.""Have you eaten anything?" I asked, noticing his shaky response. I promptly ordered food, determined that he would eat well, regardless of the cost.When the food arrived, Derek devoured it quick

Cassie’s POVWe went into Derek's office to discuss the project plan. As for my boss, Dale, he's probably resting in his coffin or spending time with his mate. I should be focused on work, but Derek never lets me go and constantly clings to me, hugging me tightly."How are we supposed to finish this?" I asked, trying to focus despite his clinginess. Is he even a werewolf? He seems to be constantly sniffing me."Just let me have my rest; you’re charging me up and putting me on rest," he murmured sleepily. This guy...Suddenly, someone knocked on the door, and I was so startled and embarrassed that I nearly pushed Derek away. I quickly apologized."Mr. Derek! Your secretary is dead!" the messenger exclaimed. Derek looked horrified, and I was equally shocked. The rude lady was dead? How?We rushed to the restroom, and if I weren’t accustomed to gruesome sights, I might have been sick right then. The woman’s body was brutally mutilated, with broken bones and blood staining the white floor.

Cassie’s POV"You! I will not let you see the sunlight! This will be your resting place, and I will make you both taste what true agony feels like!" she cursed, her voice dripping with malevolence.The battle intensified, and despite our efforts, the sheer number and strength of the puppets felt overwhelming. I struggled with fatigue, realizing it had been far too long since I last fought in earnest. But I pressed on, determined to protect those I cared about.Dale signaled he was about to execute our plan. As the puppets armed with silver knives closed in on me, we played into the witch’s expectations, creating an opening for Dale. Suddenly, she screamed in agony as Dale’s blade found its mark."Ah!" she cried out, spewing green blood. It became clear she was no mere puppet but a powerful entity in her own right."How!" she gasped in disbelief."You were so focused on attacking me that you failed to notice Dale’s illusion," I taunted, savoring her anguish. "He was fighting your puppet
