Chapter Twenty-One.

Cassiopeia Nyx I sat at the edge of the bed, fingers fiddling nervously with the fabric of the blanket draped over my knees. My wolf, Hera, had been quieter today, though that didn’t mean she hadn’t made herself known. Her occasional whispers, snide remarks, and even the odd growl had become a normal part of my life—something I had no choice but to accept. It was so strange to me; everything was new, and I felt like a newborn, trying to understand the workings of my life. I had finally begun to live without the constant ache in my body, the never-ending pain. It had been 18 days since I was last tortured or felt any pain. But it wasn't the physical pain that confused me; it was the constant ache in my heart when Xeros wasn’t near me, the invisible line that kept pulling me toward him, and how I found myself slipping up, almost daring to do things I would never even think about doing. “Just stop being so scared, human,” Hera snorted in the back of my mind. “He’s our mate. What’s t

Chapter Twenty-two

Cassiopeia Nyx "Hey... Hey," he whimpered, reaching out to touch me, but I flinched automatically. He retracted his hand immediately, letting it rest awkwardly on the edge of the table before speaking. "I won't let him hurt you, Angel." I listened to him. I knew my father was afraid of him; I also knew my father looked up to him. But still, I just couldn’t help it—the fear that rushed through my body and the tears that gathered in my eyes. My body felt hyper-aware, skin prickling as if my father were standing right behind me at this very moment, ready to pounce and rip me apart. I couldn’t reply, and my hands found their way back to my lap, the food before me suddenly losing its taste and appeal. From the corner of my eyes, I could see his hands twitch as if trying to comfort me, but he didn’t know how. I avoided his gaze. It made me feel weak, made me want to believe him—that he would protect me from my father. “He has protected you so far, hasn’t he?” Hera whispered in my ear,

Chapter Twenty-three

Xeros Romanov. The echo of my mate's wails pierced through my thoughts, more painful than any scar or wound i had ever gotten, shattering my control without any resistance. Every tear and sob, every word she uttered was like another hit, striking me with an agony so intense i could feel it in my very soul. Nox was out of control, there was a difference between me losing control and Nox losing control. Being the last of my kind, there was a responsibility that came with having Supreme power—protection, I had to protect my kind, but how was I to protect them from myself. The last time Nox lost control, hundreds died, and numerous packs were annihilated. His decisions made me who I am today, the monster hated by all and truly I was, because I didn't fight for control then, I gladly let Nox take it. We both desired to kill them all. The only thing grounding us was Cassie. She shivered next to me, her delicate frame pushed against mine, as I held her tighter in an attempt to provide

Chapter Twenty-four

Cassiopeia Nyx A strangled cough escaped my lips as I turned to the side slowly, the sheets shifting beneath me. My eyelids felt sore and heavy as I pried them open. A lonely and empty room stared back at me, the sheets beside me smooth and pristine as if no one had ever laid on them. I could vividly remember seeing Xeros from the corner of my eye most nights when I tossed and turned in my sleep. He would be perched awkwardly on the edge of the bed, almost as if he was dangling over the side. But now, where was he? My heart lurched as the thought passed through my head. Ever since he took me away from the Nightwolf pack, he had always been close—a dull, comforting presence. Even if he wasn't in the room, I knew he was always nearby. But today, even without checking, I could sense he wasn’t outside my door. Hera, my wolf, couldn’t feel him. I had laid myself bare before him, told him everything—the tortures, the pain, the horrors. My skin still tingled with the vulnerability of

Chapter Twenty-five

Cassiopeia Nyx My mouth went dry, and I swallowed hard, trying to find my voice. The man in front of me was a stranger; I had never seen him before. "I'm Anakin," he announced. "I'm the Beta." I nodded softly. Why was the Beta in the Alpha's office if the Alpha was all right? Where was he? My fear was growing so rapidly that I couldn’t control it anymore. I really needed to see him, to know if he was all right at least. "Xeros," I whispered, my voice barely audible. Anakin's eyes lit up at the sound of his Alpha’s name, and he offered a smile that was almost reassuring. "You're looking for your mate?" he asked, stepping around the desk toward me. I nodded immediately, without fully processing his words, still unsure if I was making the right decision. What if he felt like I was a nuisance and I was disturbing him? My hands trembled at my sides, and I could feel the weight of Hera’s silence in my mind. She was worried, just like I was, but there was a quiet reassurance in the w

Chapter Twenty-Six

Cassiopeia Nyx "You should leave, Cassie." His fingers retracted from my face suddenly, like as if he had been bitten. He avoided my gaze as he backed away, leaving my fingers hanging limply by the metal bars. I tried to look at him, to see or even have a slight idea of what he was feeling, but he avoided my gaze. "You defied my orders, Anakin," He growled, turning towards the Beta whose presence I had totally forgotten about. "Forgive me, Your majesty. But we were running out of options, and we weren’t sure the silver could hold him away for much longer." He sighed, head bowed as he spoke.Xeros doesn't reply, instead he turned back to me. Despite his eyes being warm, they were distant as if they were lost somewhere that I couldn't reach. I thought i was the only one fighting demons, but I didn’t seem to realise that just as much as I was suffering, he had his own fair share of pains."Please, turn away. Angel, " He whispered, his body trembling as he spoke the words. "I really ha

Chapter Twenty-Seven

Xeros RomanovHer words caused my chest to constrict, a blend of pride and fear running through me. She was delicate yet resilient, bravely confronting her fears despite the daunting and unsettling nature of it all."You don't have to pretend to be brave, Cassie," I murmured, gently stroking her cheek. She trembled all over while facing me, separated by the bars. "I have enough strength for the both of us."She hesitated before looking up to meet my gaze, then quickly looked away. "I... I must go," she stammered. I could sense the internal battle she was fighting as her body shook while she spoke. Even though she was afraid, there was a sense of determination in her demeanor that showed how committed she was to fulfilling this task, regardless of her fear."Cassie," I whispered, moving nearer to the bars, "you're not obligated to do anything for them. You don't need to repay me. You have exceeded all expectations."Her eyes flickered up to mine again, wide and uncertain, but she shook

Chapter Twenty-Eight

Cassiopeia NyxMorning came faster than I could have anticipated. It felt as if the night went by in the twinkle of an eye. The maids came to dress me, but I hardly paid attention. My mind kept morphing and twisting through multiple images. Xeros had left before I woke up. Anakin explained to me that he went for a run, attempting to cool himself down before embarking on the journey.By the time he came back, we were already dressed and ready. Anakin accompanied us, along with a few pack members, in case of any issues that arose.As soon as Xeros returned, he sought me out like always. Before I could even speak, he pulled me into his arms, wrapping them tightly around my waist as he nuzzled his face into my neck, inhaling deeply. For a moment, our close contact seemed to wash away my worries. Apparently, it had an effect because the cold look in his eyes, which he'd carried since the day I stepped into the dungeon, vanished completely.It didn’t take long before we arrived at the Night

Chapter Twenty-Nine

Cassiopeia Nyx "You stupid and insolent mutt!" Xeros roared, his shoulders raised in indignation, the sheer fury in his voice sending a shiver down my spine.For a moment, I found myself stepping forward, instinctively wanting to go to him, to pacify his anger. But Anakin grabbed my arm, pulling me back with a firm hand. His eyes darkened, giving me a silent warning to stay out of it.I stood frozen, my fingers nervously fiddling with the hem of Anakin's coat as he pulled me closer to him. His eyes scanned the area, and mine followed too, watching the pack members—my pack members—scurry away from the vicinity, scrambling to get back into the pack house in a bid to escape his anger.But my father—he was determined to test that storm. Xeros’s rage only seemed to fuel his defiance.With a swift, almost undecipherable motion, Xeros’s hand shot out, grabbing my father roughly by the throat. A gasp escaped me as I watched in horror, my eyes widening at the sight. My father’s legs kicked he

Chapter Thirty

Cassiopeia NyxSilence prevailed for a few seconds, and I found myself daring to look up, to face my tormentors. They all bowed to me, as if I was greater than them, as if they hadn’t squashed me under their feet like I was insignificant. My eyes remained solely on one person, Demetria. I hadn't seen her in years; she never came to visit me in the dungeons, and she never even tried to help me. She didn't do anything—she was just like the rest of them.“May I stand?” she asked, her voice meek, as if she could not hold back against defying Xeros's command, yet it carried through the silence.Xeros nodded, his gaze unwavering as he eyed her with uncertainty. “Stand.”With that, she approached the stand, her movements hesitant. She knelt before me, her head bowed, and my heart twisted in my chest. I took a few steps back, pulling Xeros with me a little. What could she possibly say?“Cassie,” she began, her voice trembling. “I—I know I’ve done wrong by you.” Her eyes met mine, filled with
