"Don’t be stubborn and do this! Cassie just to learn that she will be the future Luna and she can't depend on you on the time, it should be the other way around. You know your father’s health is deteriorating day by day. You need a strong Luna by your side when you take over!" She looked into his eyes as she said each word with all seriousness. Ethan said nothing. Later that day; Cassie prepared dinner for Ethan and Luna Monica. After she was done, she served the dishes and set the table so that it looked good. Just at the same time, a lady walked in. She looked so hot in the short gown she wore and slipper which was laced with a real diamond. No one needed to tell Cassie that the lady was a classy and rich one. When Cassie raised her head, she realized it was Rissa who had walked in. "Hey, maid!" Rissa called and walked towards her. "You are the slut who slept with my man the other day. Aren’t you shameless at all, you’re poor and tattered yet you chose to sell your
“Ethan... You should have come with me. Why didn't you come with me?! Your father?.. Your father?..” Luna Monica stuttered as she talked. Earlier, when Ethan went to talk to his mother. His mother had told him about his father’s health which was deteriorating day by day. “Mom, speak to me. What happened to my dad?!” Ethan was getting impatient. “I told you your father is not strong enough and he needed you to help him but you refused to come because of that useless mate of yours. If she was strong to take care of herself, wouldn't you have come with us?! Your father has been attacked by an enemy and he is dead now!” Luna Monica broke the news, she tried hard not to break down but it failed when the pain of losing her husband and mate hit her. She cried loudly while Ethan dropped the phone from his ear slowly. “My dad?!” he widened his eyes. After his mother spoke to him about his father at the office, Ethan said he wouldn't be able to go because of Cassie. He knew
Cassie looked between Ethan and Luna Monica who looked at her with deep hatred. As much as she wanted to talk back, there was something in her called low self-esteem that kept dragging her back. Ethan looked at the way her face fell to the floor, her lips fell into a pity line and she rubbed her palm against the other and took her legs into each other. The glint of hope and endurance he had slipped through his hand like water under a bridge. It was gone and can never be gotten. Since yesterday, he thought about what Rissa and his mother said. He realized they were right and Cassie wasn't right for him at all, she could never be the strong Luna he needed. Sometimes, it was better to use your brain than your heart. Although he loved Cassie, she was not good for him, he thought as he stared at her. Few minutes of staring at her, Ethan walked out of the house again. Cassie looked up and saw him zoom off, she wanted to stop him, pull him into her hands and kiss him passiona
“Ethan...” she walked closer to him. Tears gently streamed her face, her lips quivered and her eardrums constricted. She couldn't even lift her legs well, it was as though they had been rooted to the ground and were too heavy to lift them. “Ethan... have you forgotten all you said to me? How can you even talk like this? How can you reject me? You said you would never reject me, you said you would protect me, you said you were going to stay with me no matter what, you said...” she paused and swallowed the loud cry that was going to fall off her mouth. Pile tears dripped down her face, she couldn't take the pain that engulfed her heart. Ethan said nothing rather he touched Rissa’s hand and pressed it tightly probably to control himself since his wolf was fighting to set loose. “But you are not good enough for me. You're not ready and strong for the position that lies ahead, I'm sorry Cassie but only love is not enough,” he said and looked away. Cassie smiled sadly and moved
A few Days Later: Ethan’s Coronation was in a few hours, the elders of the pack had waited at the venue for him while he got dressed in his room. Cassie lazily followed Luna Monica’s order to prepare the food and design the house for use. Cassie watched as photos of Ethan were hung at the top of the hall to be used. Ethan’s face was everywhere accompanied by Rissa’s face as his Luna. Luna Monica had purposely allowed her to be there when it was being hanged so she would feel pain and know she was worthless and Ethan would never be hers After she was done at the hall, Luna Monica assigned her to dress Rissa as well. Cassie sighed as the order reached her from Evon and Evelyn who didn't fail to mock her again. At this time, Cassie knew people only stayed with you when you are doing good, immediately bad things happen, they leave you to your lot and even mock you. She didn't mind Evon and Evelyn at all, she ignored them and went to Rissa’s room. Reaching Rissa’s room, s
Three Years Later: Cassie slammed the knife into the fish and sliced it into pieces before fixing the knife to the middle and placing it on the fire. It was her only meal for the day until maybe, the moon goddess sends another her way. She had remained a rogue for three years now after Ethan and his mother sent her away. Beside her was a magazine, Rissa and Ethan were on the front covers: they hugged each other in the magazine showing love to themselves. Cassie felt nothing but bitter hatred for them but she couldn't do anything. She could only pray to the moon goddess to help her survive as a rogue and maybe one day, find a mate if the moon goddess destined another for her. However, she didn't forget that her wolf had shut herself out from her. Ever since she left Ethan’s presence, her wolf had shut herself out and never returned. Cassie had been the only one talking to herself for three years. She had been so much alone except for the animals that crept around. Cassi
Cassie walked into the mansion, it was huge...So huge she had never seen anything like it. She looked around, as they walked in, maids bowed to her - to Luna Emily. She smiled and answered them very well. She was so polite, calm, and gentle. Cassie noticed that Luna Emily was very weak and gentle, was it because she was pregnant? Cassie thought but said nothing. Luna Emily assigned some maids to prepare Cassie’s room and prepare her bath which they did. Cassie didn't know why Luna Emily was being very nice to her, she had just met her and she was already taking care of her. “Cassie, tell me about you? How did you become a rogue?” asked Luna Emily as she took her seat in the living room. Cassie said nothing. The question Luna Emily had asked made her remember Ethan and Luna Monica. She didn't want to talk about it and Luna Emily noticed this. “You don't want to talk about it? It's fine. I understand, it's just the same way I hate to talk about my past. I know you have n
Cassie and Luna Emily were busy preparing breakfast in the kitchen the next morning. Cassie couldn't keep the memory of last night off her head. As she peeled the watermelon, it reiterated in her brain. "Are you okay?" Luna Emily noticed the way Cassie had been silent. She had to ask. "Yes." Cassie have a smile while Luna Emily smiled back. "How was your night with him?" She asked. Cassie froze on the spot, she knew she was going to ask about it. Cassie didn't want to make Luna Emily feel bad so she smiled and replied that it was very nice. "He'll get used to you, don't worry." Cassie was astounded. What did Luna Emily mean by he will get used to her? Alpha Bryan was her husband, isn't he? Why would she talk about him getting used to her? Cassie needed answers to the questions burning in her heart. "Cassie, can I ask for a favor... again?" Luna Emily looked at her. Cassie finished slicing the Watermelon and turned to her. "Yes," Cassie answered. "Can you help me tak
