All Chapters of A Scorned Luna's Revenge: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

CASSIUS’ POVHow did things go so wrong? No, what was I thinking in the first place? No, no, why the hell did April do that? I wanted to find her right away and squeeze the life out of her eyes but I feared my wolf would die along with that silly woman who was about to cost me everything. The image of Persephone crying and fainting was forever burned into my mind, haunting me at every moment. I did that to her. Persephone was everything to me yet I hurt her. With the way she went after April that evening, I knew she suspected her – suspected my relationship with her – but I do not think she knew our exact relationship. Finding out she was my mate must have been too much for her. The question I had now – what was I going to do with April? I told myself that I could squeeze out even the smallest of roles for her but now, I did not even want to set eyes on her. She betrayed me. What would I gain from such a foolish woman who did not even see the bigger picture? He is mine! T

The first emotion I processed was fear. Fear that paralyzed my limbs and made me feel like the world was closing in on me. My heart pounded loudly in my ears and without knowing it, I reached out to the person closest to me and grabbed their hand with a grip tight enough to cut off blood flow. Still, none of these helped with the mind-numbing sensation that spread throughout my body. I swallowed when my throat felt like a dessert but there was no reprieve from this damning situation. “Go out. Miss Persephone is busy so come back later.” Sylvia’s voice reached me from a faraway place. It may have been a dream as I watched the men bow themselves out with how out of it I felt. “Perse, are you okay?” Sylvia turned to me when the men had left and I took in a shaky breath. In truth, I was not okay. Seeing Liam and Lucas like that made me remember my death all over again. I had mourned the woman I was in my past life but seeing them opened a fresh can of worms that stole my breath.

“You look ridiculous.” Those were the first words Alpha Koa said to me the moment we met. Dressed in a cloak that would be suspicious even to the oblivious, I understood the sentiment but it did not mean I appreciated his rude remark. “Thank you, I was trying out your style,” I responded, lowering the hood of my cloak. “You are funny.” His eyes were sharp as his lips curved into a false smile. I took a good look at him. A very good look at him. I had decided to invest in this man because I expected profitable returns. He was in a position where I could gain a lot from him and the only thing I needed to do was use my knowledge of the past to help him. He was my sword and a very sharp one at that. “Why are you looking at me so intently?” He asked. “Have you only now discovered my astounding looks?” I scoffed at such a remark but ignored it. I had come here for much more important things. More important than an irrelevant back-and-forth with this man. “I received a proposal from th

A week later, Cassius’ losses started. The investment which should have fallen apart a few months from now crumbled unexpectedly. As my father and Alpha Koa pulled out at the same time, Koa’s people must have pulled out too and things ended earlier than I foresaw. It was on a cool evening a week after the stint with April. I had been sipping a glass of orange juice and flipping through a magazine when I heard Cassius’ earth-shattering scream. It was a scream so deep and desperate that it left me feeling satisfied even before I knew what had happened. As an actress, I immediately went into acting mode and rushed to his office. I was not the only one who rushed over. April also came running at her mate’s screams. We met at the door and we both paused. Her eyes flashed with anger before she lowered her head. It must have been clear to her by now that no matter what she did, Cassius would continue to hang on to me. “Oh,” she muttered when she saw me just at Cassius’ door. “I will

“Welcome,” Jennifer, Slater’s daughter welcomed me at the door. She was a slender, auburn haired woman like her father. Her friends stood behind her and their eyes were full of curiosity. I knew their mouths must be itching to start talking about me and I had come prepared to be talked about. I would dominate the scenes from now on. I would make sure my name was on everybody’s lips starting my from now. That way, Cassius would have a harder time killing me. “Thank you for inviting me,” I said. “It’s no problem. Since you attended the mating ceremony of a nobody the other day, I thought I should extend a hand to you who seems desperate to socialize.” Mockery filled her tone and the ladies behind her snickered but I did not mind. For me to mind, I would first have to care. The important person here was Alpha Slater, not his mate, not his son and definitely not his daughter. That man was unfortunate to have a household of fools. His son was well known for harassing omega women an
