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
Cassie smiled mischievously when she saw the amused expression on Rissa's face. It was what she wanted and she got it. She quickly got off the elevator before Rissa got herself and start bombarding her with questions. She waved Rissa bye and walked out while Rissa had a hard time getting over the news. Maybe she thought Cassie would never attract men or the thought of getting married before she made her distraught. Cassie walked out of the company while the front desk lady waved at her. Rissa who walked out of the elevator saw this. She ran to the front desk lady immediately and asked, "Who Is that woman?" The front desk lady, Clara smiled and looked around as though she was about to steal. "I think that is the anonymous wife of Mr. Bryan. Earlier, she came here with a box of food and she went to his office. Mr. Bryan never eats out so I know for sure that is his wife. Can't you see she is so pretty? I even took a picture of her and I am going to post it on social media." S
“I want you to leave,” he uttered and walked closer to her. Cassie left what she was doing and turned to him, she bent her head to the floor and sighed. “You can take away the money my wife gave you, I don't need you here. I will never be attracted to you. You will never replace my wife. Just go,” he said looking down at her ‘cuz he was taller than her. Cassie sighed. She shook her head, digesting what he had said. And it pissed her off. She raised her head to him, looking at his icy but handsome face. “I don't know what you're talking about but I have never had the intentions of replacing your wife nor did your wife give me any money. I don't find you attractive either...” she lied. “Nor do I want you to find me attractive. Alpha Bryan, I respect you as the Alpha of this pack but I do not like the way you have accused me. I will leave your house right now. Thank you.” She bowed slightly and made her way through him. She went to her room where she packed the little thi
