Cassandra's POVI clenched my fist and sighed."I'll be your girlfriend" I say and the Landon's face was equivalent to what would have been on my face if Jack's mom had given me a proper meal for dinner. How did I get here? Let's take a few minutes to recap. It's been a week since I turned Landon down at the breakfast table. Every day ever since then I found a bouquet of pink roses in my locker everytime I opened it and I opened my locker twice a day, once in the morning to get books out and at the end of the school day to out books back in. So yeah about a total of 14 roses now if not more. At first I threw them away but then I started giving them to teachers and staff and pretty soon I was in good terms with a few more of my teachers.I didn't know how much he out down or how he convinced my sparing instructor, gym instructor boxing and wrestling instructors and even the school coach to let me be his partner but in every class I had to use my fists and not my pen he was my partner
Alder's POVA week later I was to meet the selected mate Savannah West and I was pumped as hell. Notice the sarcasm, yeah?.Well I shifted all the plans that I could to tha day and so I was suddenly too busy to meet her. This act becomes a routine because suddenly I'm too busy on the day I'm supposed to meet her and on my third attempt to shake her off I don't succeed.I sign just one more paper and drop the pen rubbing my eyes and stretching still in my seat.I think about how it's been a week since the dreams with Cassie stopped. No warnings, nothing. I just stopped dreaming about her in total and no matter how much I thought about her before sleeping I never dreamt about her. Either I don't dream at all or I dream and it's not about her. A knock sounds on the door and I call out"come in" without asking"who is it" and immediately I regret my slip. A woman dressed in a sort skimpy gown, make up that is so heavy I'm sure her face is feeling tired and heels so high it's a wonder
Cassandra's POVI've forgotten about Alder and I don't even feel guilty. It's partly not my fault because the dreams stopped. They stopped abruptly and the connection died and suddenly all I can think of is "Maybe my finding my wolf and beginning to change was jus a coincidence"."Maybe it was my heart not letting go and still holding in to the fact that I once had a mate". I told mom about this and she said maybe the emergence of my wolf was the one who cut the connection. It's all heresy anyway because there's nothing set in stone. Another reason I don't care is because Landon has been making me happy and although I'm not in love with him yet, it's way too early for that, but I can say I like him for sure. He has been nothing short of sweet and romantic and I'm swooning. We eat together, train together and even bee attending class together. He has other friends but he's all I have got and we talked about it the other day. The fact I have been unable to open up to any female is
Cassandra's POV I wake up to Landon looking rumpled and holding my hand as he slept with his head on my bed. My heart fluttered from his gentlemanliness and I looked around. I see Georgiana by the window looking outside as students walked the hallway. Each minding their business and hurrying to their classes."I was 15 and so innocent when I was chosen" she says and I know she knew the minute I woke up. Her voice cracked a little and I knew if she turned back to look at me she'd cry and end up not finishing her story. "You'll be Luna, they said. You'll be honoured they told me. You just have to be good, better than everyone to fit into that role. So I did all I could in being the best. I trained super hard, endured gruesome trainings , didn't go to parties or to clubs because I wanted to keep a clean record. I couldn't even have birthday parties of my own. it was a no party rule so in case something bad happened there was nothing like it happened at Georgiana's party People never
Alder's POVI watch her grab two ramen bowls , 2 cups of ice and two sachets of juice . She pays the cashier and heads my way. "Ramen?" I ask and she nods. "Is this shit healthy?" I ask and she gasps as if I had committed the greatest crime. "Well I don't know but you shouldn't say that out loud, someone might hear" she says as she puts enough water for two people in the microwave. "If someone hears me what will happen?" I asks and she zips her lips and throws away the key. "You won't hear it from me" she says and laughs. I study her and she blushes under my gaze before turning. "Is it just me or your in a good mood?" I ask her and she nods smiling wider. "I had a presentation today and I was scared so much I started shaking in my pants, then my boss was able to cam me down. But that wasn't my highlight of the day" she says and I lean it to hear the final part. She smiles and takes the water from the microwave. I catch myself leaning in like a fool . She quietly goea throug
Alder's POVThe process was quite fast and easy. Soon Thelma has her own name, and social security number. She has said thank you so much I'm tired of hearing thank you and might punch the next person that says it. I sit with my mother , father and her at the dinner table and my mother has such a happy look on her face.Thelma keeps helping her do stuff and it's busy in the kitchen, noise of laughter resounds in the kitchen and my ears begin to ring.Dad winks at me ,grabs two bottles of beer and walk out into the backyard. I take that as the cue to follow him. We get into the backyard and sit on the swings , he passes one of the beer bottles to me and takes a sip."She looks like good wife and mother material" he says and I look to the kitchen window seeing Thelma laugh with my mother. I sigh and take a sip of the beer. Truth is I can't argue. "Why do you keep sighing?" he asks me taking more of his beer and making me look like this the first beer I'll ever drink. "You might w
Cassandra's POVIt's been a week since I got back home for the summer break and I can't help but be glad I came home. It feels so nice to have a home to come back to. My parents are here and my loved ones are happy to have me back.I walk to the kitchen and pause outside the door the minute I hear my name on whispers. I walk back a few steps immediately to avoid getting caught, then use my barely there werewolf powers to listen in. "It's her birthday on Wednesday, do you think she knows. ?" my mom asks someone I recognize by voice when they reply. "Why would you say she doesn't know her birthday is on Wednesday, it's absurd" my dad replies."She's nonchalant and is not excited at all. She'll be 22, it's something to be excited about, all these past years that she's been with us, anytime it's her birthday it's just like any other day, and I keep thinking how long can she keep this up." my mother sounds genuinely worried and I'm perplexed. Am I doing it intentionally? No because my
Cassandra's POVI opened my tired eyes to the knock on my door and I kept groaning. Normally I would have left the door open but Mother kept barging in and I kept waking up with my sleep disturbed. I had grocery bags for eye bags and I aged 10 more years in that 2 days.I was ready to put all this birthday fiasco behind me. I was so used to spending my birthdays in the dark smelly basement. I turned the key in it's hole and opened the door to see my best friend Elia and I smiled in relief."Finally you're here" I said and hugged her like it's been 10 years we've seen each other. "You have really missed me " she said and I breathed in her clean scent. She pulled back and accessed my face. "You look so tired bestie." "This the first hectic birthday I've ever had and it's making me freak out. Of course I'm tired." I whisper and she hugs me again. "Everything will be fine baby girl" she says and I nodded. We took a minute to sit on the bed and catch up which actually me stalling and
