ONE

Cassa's POVA sharp ache in my side jolted me awake, and I groaned, clutching at the pain. Every little movement sent waves of agony through me, and a feverish heat spread over my skin.Squinting against the light, I forced my eyes open and took in the unfamiliar room. Where was I? My head pounded like someone was hammering inside my skull. As I closed my eyes, a flash of the red-eyed, silver-furred wolf filled my mind. Had they taken me?I remembered the mayor rescuing me before that ravaging werewolf could finish me off.But… where was I?I opened my eyes again, scanning the room—gray walls, lilac curtains over a glass window, and furniture that looked way too expensive. The scent of lavender hung in the air, calming me as I lay on the plush mattress, tangled in a soft purple comforter.Gritting my teeth, I pushed myself upright, the ache in my side a constant reminder of my injuries. My throat was dry, and I spotted a glass of water on the nightstand. I reached for it with shaky han

Cassa's POV Three weeks had passed, and I was slowly recovering. In just three days, I’d be able to ditch these damn crutches. Sabrina had been incredibly attentive, always by my side, offering words of encouragement even when I couldn't see the light at the end of the tunnel. But despite her efforts, the monotony of being stuck in this room was driving me insane. Staring out the window and not being able to move felt like I was in a prison.I’d met Dr. Adam, expecting some old geezer, but he turned out to be a good-looking guy just a few years older than me. He visited weekly to check on my progress and often mentioned my grandfather, Daniel Sullivan. Apparently, my grandfather was one of the investors in the hospital where Adam worked, and he couldn’t stop praising him. Not that I cared much; I barely knew my grandparents since I’d left their strict household to chase my dreams in Los Angeles after high school."How are you feeling, Ali?" Sabrina's voice broke into my thoughts as sh

Cassa's POVJulius's gaze flicked to me for a moment before returning to Astallia. "None of your business, or Catharine's. Tell my sister she'll regret what she's done.""Catharine won't be intimidated, just like her brother. But she did pay me handsomely for that chokehold you gave me. I almost died," she snarled."Lucky for you, I didn't kill you. Now leave and tell Catharine to bring Sabrina here. I'll deal with her soon enough.”"You haven't changed, Julius. So rude.” With that, she vanished in a cloud of purple smoke.I gasped, blinking rapidly in disbelief. Was that real? How did she just disappear like that?Julius glanced at me briefly before striding away, his footsteps echoing like a solemn promise. I stood there, bewildered and without answers, trying to make sense of what had just happened.Gathering my courage, I hurried out of the room and called after Mr. Montalvo as I walked down the hallway. He was about to turn when I caught up to him."Can I go home to my father's ho

Cassa's POV My eyes narrowed as I scanned the list of tasks I was expected to perform. They felt like duties I never imagined doing—more like those of a servant or, worse, a prisoner serving her captor! I fought the urge to crumple the paper in my hand, my nails digging into my palm as I suppressed my frustration.The Mayor had left for town, leaving two men to guard me. At the bottom of the smooth, finely printed paper, it stated that the rules would take effect once I was fully recovered. Bitterness welled up inside me, and I let out an exaggerated sigh.Pushing myself up from the divan, I approached the stairs but hesitated. An idea struck me—I would explore the house to familiarize myself with my surroundings.It was already noon when I entered the room, my legs aching from the walk. The house was sprawling, almost like a mansion, and I nearly lost my way if not for Carter, one of the guards, accompanying me. I carried a paper bag delivered by the Mayor's driver ten minutes prior,

Cassa’s POV"I don't think you understand; this isn't fair," I said, frustration creeping into my voice. "What about my freedom? Why should it be stripped away from me? Just because Montalvo and Sullivan are close doesn't justify taking my freedom. Saving me shouldn't mean locking me up in here." I gestured around the room, as if it were the cage I was talking about.His brows furrowed, eyes narrowing as he stared me down. "That's life, Cassa. We make sacrifices for our actions.""A sacrifice? You've turned me into a servant in this house. I wouldn't complain if I still had my freedom. I'll accept the consequences of my actions, but I won't give up my freedom!" I exclaimed, fists clenched tightly and trembling with anger. I refused to agree to his terms.Julius let out a sarcastic laugh that only made me angrier. "Your life is paid for with your freedom, Cassa," he emphasized, each word sending a shiver down my spine."You can't do anything about it," he added in a serious tone.Outsid

Julius POV I watched Cassa ascend the stairs, her light footsteps echoing until she reached her room, marked by the click of the lock.Silence enveloped the house, an unexpected occurrence at this hour, signaling my mother’s visit. It must mean something important. Yesterday, I’d spoken with Paps about my cousin Theodore’s predicament. He needed help with a case he’d gotten caught up in. Paps said Theodore acted in self-defense; the problem was that the victim wasn’t a werewolf but a human—the son of a senator.I knew Theodore—a decent kid, loyal to family and pack. His involvement in something so serious was shocking. At twelve, he was still in his human form, without the strength of his wolf until he turned fourteen. With the senator’s powerful connections, Theodore was likely looking at serious jail time. The Ganther family reaching out for help through Paps made sense, given our Montalvo ties to politics.Maybe my mom's arrival had something to do with the Ganthers’ situation. As

Cassa’s POV I stepped out of the room but stopped in my tracks when I noticed the mayor standing outside the door. There was no warmth in his expression, no hint of joy at seeing me. I swallowed hard, my heart pounding as I studied his handsome face, a question lingering in my mind. Why was he here?"My mother will be visiting you," he informed me.“Why?” I asked softly, furrowing my brow as I tried to wrap my head around the mayor’s unexpected announcement. Or maybe I misheard him. Why would his mother want to see me? What could be the reason? He leaned against the doorframe, his presence looming over me. His white polo shirt stretched across his muscular frame, emphasizing his broad shoulders, while his neatly combed hair carried a faint scent of soap and aftershave."Act like I'm a benevolent Samaritan," he instructed, sidestepping my question.A skeptical expression crossed my face. "You're not, and I won't pretend otherwise," I shot back, momentarily hardening his features before

Cassa's POV The car stopped in front of a house, and as we drove through the town, I couldn’t shake the feeling that we weren’t too far from civilization. We passed a ranch just a few meters away from the place—a grand mansion, complete with a majestic fountain out front.But I couldn’t get the memory of the wolves chasing us out of my head. Three of them had rushed toward us, and their growls echoed in my ears.It felt like I was watching a scene unfold but couldn’t find my voice amid the chaos. Confused, I tried to make sense of everything. Mrs. Montalvo apologized for what happened but insisted we find a place where the pack warriors couldn’t track us."Why are those wolves after us?" I asked, my concern evident."They're here to kill you," she said flatly. "My son thinks the omegas guarding you are enough to keep you safe. Luckily, someone warned me about the planned attack." She smiled at me, as if this was just another ordinary day.Ordinary for them, maybe, but for me, it was a

Cassa's POV I woke up to the softness of the bed beneath me, inhaling the lingering scent of vanilla musk in the air. A blanket was tucked around me just before I heard the faint sound of footsteps fading away and a door closing. Opening my eyes, I felt the heaviness of my lids, realizing I had dozed off in the car on the way to one of Julius's houses in town.I hadn't expected him to include me in the senator's meeting, claiming I was his secretary. That’s why he had given me the clothes in the paper bag along with those torturous five-inch heels that had left my feet aching after just a few hours. I was baffled about why I was even doing this, but exhaustion had gotten the best of me, leaving me too tired to question him. Being in a crowd for too long always drained me.Taking a deep breath, I rolled onto my side, closing my eyes. Tomorrow, I’d talk to Julius about all of this.The next morning, I sat down for breakfast with Julius, and his words took me by surprise. "You'll be my

Cassa’s POVI stared out of the window of the Mayor’s office, my gaze fixed on the lively scene in the plaza below. I couldn’t help but imagine myself down there, capturing the moment with my camera. But my daydreaming was cut short when Mayor Montalvo dropped a couple of file boxes on my table, just a few steps away. “Sort these files by date and put them back on my desk when you’re done,” he instructed before retreating to his seat. I reached for the files in the organizer, my mind still half lost in my thoughts. There were three files, and I felt a weariness settle over me. It seemed that whenever Julius didn’t have appointments in town, he kept me busy with an endless stream of work. Resting my feet on the cold floor, I felt a slight relief from the pain that had been nagging at me. I started sorting the files, arranging them from the latest date to the oldest. Every so often, I glanced at Julius, who was engrossed in his laptop, typing away. It was a rare day without phon
