Chapter 81

Cassie POVReza lay motionless on the hospital bed, pale with dark circles around her closed eyes. The beeping of the monitors hooked up to her was the only sound in the otherwise still room. Vasilios and I stood by her bed for a long time, not moving and barely daring to breathe. As much as Reza and Reya had tormented me throughout my life, Reza did not deserve to die like this. For two days, the pack doctor had tried to pump whatever poison she had ingested from her system until he had declared that there was nothing more that he could do and that he suggested she be sent to a bigger facility. Within an hour, Vasilios had arranged for her to be sent to Slovenia where the top doctors would be able to assist in whatever way possible. “Any change?” Reya whispered as she came to stand beside us, her face gaunt from hours of crying and not enough sleep. I took her hand and squeezed it, trying to be as supportive as I could. “Not yet, but the doctor did say it could take some time for

Chapter 82

Cassie POV“I think that Stacey poisoned Reza,” I said to Vasilios as I lay in bed, wrapped in his arms as the sun started to rise on the horizon and caste the room in a golden glow. His body stiffened beside me, “why do you think that?” I let out a long breath before I responded, knowing that I had some explaining to do. “Just after you were made Alpha, Amber put something in my coffee and I overheard her speaking to someone on the terrace about it. I now know that the person was Stacey.”The events of the tea party played out in my mind and I remembered a detail that I had pushed to the back of my mind, thinking that it was unimportant. “You said that some poisons can be transmitted through touch. Stacey touched Reza’s hand, quite purposefully in fact.”Vasilios was silent for a moment but I could tell that he was thinking hard about the new information. “It would make sense, since Reza is clearly a threat to her and Viktor’s relationship.”I couldn’t deny that - especially since

Chapter 83

Cassie POVThere are five stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and finally, acceptance. Both Reza and Reya were confronted with full on denial after Vasilios spoke to them about Reza’s loss of vision, insisting that they hear it from a doctor. And when the doctor came to explain that the poison had damaged her optic nerve, Reza wanted to see a specialist.A few days later, as we all returned back to the packhouse, the anger stage hit head on. “You should have just left me in Slovenia,” Reza snapped at Vasilios as her foot hit the base of the stairs and she began to fall, despite Vasilios trying to guide her. The poor man looked a bit shell-shocked, but kept his mouth shut until she was sequestered in her own bedroom, a familiar environment which she would hopefully be able to feel her way around. “When I find who poisoned my sister, I’m going to kill them with my bare hands,” Reya said through gritted teeth. I couldn’t fault her - hell, I’d probably be feeling t

Chapter 84

Vasilios POV“Do you think it's too late to kill the fucker?” I asked Luca as I caught him up to speed on the dramas I'd faced since he left, hidden in the privacy of my bedroom. My best friend laughed and I could almost picture him cracking his knuckles as we spoke. “It's never too late.” I grunted and pulled the switchblade from my pocket, pressing the lever so the blade sprung from its handle and feeling the edge of the blade before I put it back. It had been a gift from Luca when we had been teenagers, and it had stayed with me ever since.“I'm not like you. You got away with killing your psychopathic family member… twice. As for killing mine? Well, I'd probably be chucked into a dungeon somewhere by the council if I harmed Viktor.”“OK, maybe killing him isn't the answer then,” Luca sighed. “But putting him and his bitch of a mate into a crate and shipping them to Peru is still an option.” I chuckled at the very tempting thought. “Damn, don’t put those things in my head.”“Do

Chapter 85

Cassie POVVasilios drove carefully up the poorly repaired driveway, careful to avoid the giant craters in the asphalt as we approached the ancient looking house. It was the night after Alpha Dimitri’s funeral, and while Vasilios appeared calm to all who came across him, I could feel the tension in his every movement. “Where are we going?” I asked him for probably the twentieth time, half expecting him to give me the same response as he had given me half an hour ago when we climbed into the car - “not far”.Only this time, he actually revealed the secret mission we were going on. “This is the base of my operations,” he said as he parked the car and switched off all of the lights. “I need your help with something, if that’s ok with you.” The corner of my lip twitched as I bit back a sardonic laugh. “It’s a bit late to be asking if I’m ok with coming out to the middle of nowhere with you.” In the pale moonlight I could see the hesitation on his face before he reached for the door ha

Chapter 87

Cassie POVI couldn’t have predicted what happened next in a thousand years. Even in the dim light of the basement, I could see Stacey hold her breath, her eyes darting around the room as if she were looking for an escape. I’m not sure how she thought she would get away with her hands tied behind her back and her feet tied to the chair - wishful thinking maybe. “After all we have done, you killed my father?” Viktor roared, straining against his restraints, his eyes flashing with his wolf’s presence. “You calculating bitch!” Vasilios grabbed my hand and pulled me behind his back, shielding me from whatever he predicted was going to happen. “Untie me!” Viktor demanded, his voice cracking with anger. Vasilios paused for a moment before he pulled out a knife from his pocket and slashed at the rope which bound his feet to the chair legs before he removed the restraints on Viktor’s hands.“It was a mistake, Viktor!” Stacey screamed, her eyes pleading. “Luna Delia was meant to drink the

Chapter 87

Cassie POV“I'm turned on by the guy who I'm pretty sure would have murdered Stacey and Viktor in front of me. Does that make me a bad person?” I asked Elle, my phone pressed to my ear as I sat on the edge of the bed and filed my nails. It had been almost a week since the incident in the old house, and Viktor had - by some miracle - become somewhat tolerable. He was still a condescending prick to most people, but he did seem to be walking on eggshells whenever I was around so that was something new. “Well it does depend on if it's the thought of him killing people that turns you on. If that's the case I'll find you a psychologist ASAP,” Elle replied in her mom voice. “If that's not the case, then I'd say you're just like the thousands of women out there who are attracted to raw and dangerous masculinity.”I sighed. “Yep, that must be it.”Elle giggled, “why does that sound like such a burden?”I set down the nail file and inspected my nails. “Because I don't like that I'm not in c

Chapter 88

Cassie POV“What do you mean Vasilios left with Amber?” I almost screamed at Reya. Reya flinched and stepped backward before she recovered from the sheer force of my anger. “I was up early to check on Reza - she hasn’t been sleeping well lately. Anyway, I was checking on her when I heard voices outside my bedroom window. I looked out and saw Vasilios putting bags into his car, and then he opened the door for Amber to climb in and they both drove off.” I know people always say that they feel hot rage, but the rage I felt wasn’t hot. It was as cold as ice as I calmly thanked Reya and walked back to my bedroom. I pulled my suitcase from the cupboard and packed my belongings neatly into the bag in a somewhat robotic manner. Grabbing my phone from the nightstand, I texted a quick message to Elle before removing my sim card and throwing it onto the bed. I knew Vasilios would come after me, and the last thing I wanted was to see his stupid face. I was just a toy to him, something for him

Chapter 89

Vasilios POVI pulled up outside the packhouse and smiled to myself, eager to see Cassandra again.The two weeks away from her had given me some time to contemplate life, and I realised that I wasn't going to be able to let her go at the end of the six month deal. ***The morning I had been called away, I had been watching her sleep when my phone started ringing in my pants as they lay on the floor. I moved quickly, picking up the phone. “Vasi, I need your help,” I heard Luca's serious voice through the phone, the sound of crying in the background. I glanced over at Cassandra's sleeping face before I slipped into the bathroom and closed the door. “What's wrong?” I asked Luca in a hushed voice. “It's Enzo. The team of mercenaries he hired have sold him out to a group of radicals who hate our kind.”I could hear the tension in Luca’s voice. “Shit. Tell me what you need me to do.”It wasn't foreign to come across fanatic humans who had learned about werewolves' existence and hated

Chapter 90

Cassie POVHave you ever had a moment when you’re suddenly struck by how badly you fucked up, and yet you have no idea how you can fix the mistake you made? Well, that was basically a summary of my life at that point. I was sitting at the kitchen table, staring into my bowl of oatmeal when Damian walked into the room, dressed to impress in a black suit and black shirt. “Have you even eaten any of that?” he questioned with a scowl.“I don’t feel like it,” I replied honestly, pushing the bowl away from me. “Every time I bring the spoon to my mouth I feel like gagging.”Damian’s scowl softened and he grabbed a pack of ginger biscuits from the kitchen cupboard and set them in front of me. “You’ve got to eat something, before I get my arse kicked by both the doctor and Vasilios for starving you,” he commanded sternly. “And don’t give me that morning sickness bullshit, I can see right through you Cassie Kythira.” “I’m not Kythira anymore,” I almost whispered, wallowing in my own despair.
