Cassian's POV.I looked into her eyes, and for a moment, I saw the eyes that I fell in love with at one point in my life.I saw the pretty girl that I talked about having children with. I saw the eyes that looked at me with so much gratitude when I fucked her. I saw innocence.But It didn't move me.No matter how genuine it was, I just couldn't see myself going over that pain that she caused me. Through the innocence, I still remembered the hurt from the betrayal that she caused me when I saw her arching her back for someone who wasn't even half the man that I was, both in bed and outside the bedroom."I'm sorry, Shantel, but this... This will not work. I don't know what you're trying to do. I don't know if you're being honest or if you have an ulterior motive, and I honestly don't care. My feelings for you died over the course of the year that you were away from me.""Surely, there's a way around this. We can make this if you let me. I was your one true love. There's no way you can l

Celeste's POV.This is the stupidest decision you've made in your life, Celeste.This is too risky.Turn your ass around and head the fuck back down.There was nothing my wolf didn't say to me to send me back down the stairs, but legs kept climbing the steps.It felt like my body had been separated from my wolf form. I was well aware of what I was doing, but I didn't know why I was doing it.Barely an hour ago, I was rebuking him for proposing to me in front of everyone, and now I was following him to his bedroom.I didn't know what had gotten over me.He held my hands as we walked into his room, and immediately I shut the door behind me, he turned me around and planted his lips on mine.I gave into the kiss and we began locking lips. I felt his hot breath all over my face as his tongue found its way past my lips. I felt his hands all over my waist and they slowly travelled to my boobs."Fuck... Your nipples are hard for me baby.."He kept touching and kissing, but I had Cassian on m

Cassian's POV."I remember when we used to have these moments when we were together. It felt like time stopped, but it also felt like that time flew by so quickly. Those were the best moments of my life."I was confused by Shantel's words considering the fact that she was the one who left me, but she was not my problem tonight.The proposal I just witnessed doubled the weight of my heart.It was one thing for that bastard to ask her to be his wife before me, but was Celeste so dense to accept the proposal of someone she just met three days ago?Over me?I had waves of different emotions flooding my system, but I was confused, most of all.Celeste was a lot of things, but she was not dumb. Even though she hated me with everything in her, she was stupid to accept Ryan's proposal."I remember when you used to be so romantic. You would wake me up with breakfast in bed after a very hot session the night before. We'd have the longest baths and giggle all day long in each other's arms. You'd

Cassian's POV."Cassian! we can talk about this-"But the heat in me blocked my ears. I charged at the bastard with wolf speed and speared him with everything in me. I didn't let go of him to make him feel the impact, so we went crashing out through the window from the top floor of a two storey building to the ground outside."Goodness!! Two men just fell from the top floor! Call the ambulance or something!!""Wait a minute... Is that not the heir to the throne, stark naked and bleeding?""What the fuck is happening?!"The party feeling had been overwhelmed with the bloody occurrences and people had began filing out to witness what was happening.I was supposed to end this here and now to save face, but there was nothing I could do with this fury that had been built up for years, except to unleash it on the person who built it up."C... Cassian", Ryan dragged himself up after taking some time on the ground to nurse his pain. "We can talk about this. Remember that you're my brother fro

Cassian's POV.Two hours.That's how long I had my glues to the whitewashed ceiling above me, watching the fan spin above me endlessly.The only change I got to wash myself off Ryan's blood was after the rebuking I got from my father. I didn't bother having anything to eat knowing fully well that it wouldn't digest.It was silent and cold in the wee hours of the morning already, but the voice in my head and the flashes I got from hours ago were so loud and vivid, I was this close to running mad.I felt pangs of guilt hit me as I turned uncomfortably for the umpteenth time tonight, and it wasn't from killing Ryan.Granted, Ryan deserved his death for trying to rape Celeste or anyone at all, but that was not the drive to my murder.I didn't kill him because he raped Celeste. I didn't kill him for hurting Jennifer, someone who did something but love him dearly, only to pin the consequences of his actions on me for years.I killed him to hide the truth from the rest of the wolf realm.The
