Cassandra's POVThe room is deathly silent, not that there are plenty occupants anyways. Just Jack and the doctor are here, including Gina who just ran in like a freight train. More people come in but I don't mind the number. My vision goes fuzzy as I walk towards the white sheet is. Jack's eyes are red and his face looks like he scrubbed at it for the past twenty minutes. It looks weird how he's so unsmiling. He glances at me then takes another look at me. It obvious to see that he's suprised to see me here. Yes she was cruel to me but she is my mother. Not right now or biologically but she fed me and housed me. Although it was scraps and although it was in the dirty basement, she saved me from freezing to death in the cold , those years. Fuck, I'm literally alive because of her. I move closer still and pull back the white sheet. She looks oddly peaceful, like she did not make my life hell. I'm grateful that she is though. It would be cruel to wish her unrest in death. I swallow t
Cassandra's POVWe spend the next few days wondering and discussing who it might have been, or who they might have been seeing as it was not possible for just knew person to run all that by himself. We being, Alder, Georgiana, Scofield and myself. At a point I wondered on why Georgiana was even there at all but waved it off thinking that maybe her stupid brain could mislead us into knowing who it was. You know , maybe we would find out who it was by mistake. Although I wasn't too comfortable with her being involved in the whole investigation, but she still thought she was the beta so why not leave her be. However after days of pondering and wondering, we soon got bored and tired of the whole shit show and as a result, left everything to die down. Since no one was hurt, we took it as a prank and left it at that, although my gut was telling me it could be more. We strengthened our security and reinforced our borders. Then Elia came visiting. I was sitting in my office staring at the le
Gina's POV I let myself out of the room, I strangely feel out of place. I let out a breath as I stand behind the door, their laughter reaching me and pushing me further away from the room. Yes, despite my happy demeanor and my wife smiles, I struggle with low confidence and self esteem. They seem happy enough without me, so I'll just excuse myself and leave them. I think about what it is exactly that I'm doing in this pack. Nothing actually, I wake up every morning, take a shower, eat , wander around until either Cassie or her mother was ready to see me. Then I would wander around when they got busy again, no actual meaning to my days. The infirmary was full, even Amelia who just got here found a spot because she had a license, but me? Nothing. I didn't have any real qualifications but I knew fo certain, if I had to continue to live in Crimson Pack, I wanted to do it on my own terms.I get off the last staircase and see Scofield coming into the building."Hello" I say to him and he
Gina's POVI slid to the back rooms once again and knock on the door of the "boss's" office. I peek in to him still trying to sort out what ever it is he was trying to sort out when I first came in here."Hello, it's me again" I say and he gives me a beaming smile. "Gina" he calls out and I come into the office taking his smile as an invitation."You did wonderfully well, when can you start?" He asks me and I laugh."How am I sure you even know what happened in there?" I asked and he smiles. He turns the computer in front of him to show the security camera in the shop. I watch and see Chloe serve another customer with a smile and she tucks the money into the cash register, arranging it in and punching the amount in. "You spy on your employees?" I ask anger creeping in. "Look at this way, it's their for security purposes, I don't want nobody stealing any of my money, Incase a fight breakout, there'll be CCTV footage. That sort of thing" he explains hurriedly and I don't particularl
Gina's POVDespite how he grabs me and pulls me to himself, I'm sure how gentle Jack's lips feel on mine. Slowly but surely, tingling every of my senses, he presses his lips to mine and even though all of this was seeming fast,his lips pluck gently at mine in slow, come hither movements. He’s not rough, not rough in anyway. I look at him wide-eyed, even though his closed eyes. “Relax, Gina” he murmurs against my mouth, his hand coming up to cradle my jaw. His next kiss is more of a body than lips thing, like he’s putting his whole body into it. There’s something very and curiously sexual about the way he moves against me, the way his tongue just barely peeks out to say hi my lips. I force myself to copy him,though after all, I'm very much of a novice, feeling my face grow hot when our noses bump each other awkwardly. Jack doesn’t miss a beat though, guiding the kiss. When he parts his lips, I follow suit letting him take the initiative although I was the one who started everythi
Gina's POVI walk to the kitchen without taking the stairs. My room is on the first floor and so is this kitchen. Jack slept on my room last night and I know it wasn't intentional. No we didn't complete the mate bond or anything. We just cuddled and had a good night rest, well I did and if it's any indication by the fact that he's still sleeping then yes, I'm sure he had a good night's rest. I walk into the kitchen and read for a plate with my left hand, grab the loaf of sliced bread in a mother hand. Placing both on the table, I read for the peanut butter and a table knife. I don't like peanut butter. Or I liked it and it scarred me for life when I was a little girl. I stole peanut butter from where it was kept by my mother and I put too much into my mouth. Believe it or not, in my haste to swallow quickly majority of the peanut butter stuck to my throat and I couldn't breath. It was a very traumatizing event but for my mate I was willing to e peanut butter today. Jack love peanut
Gina's POV"Who is it?, who are you dying for Gina?" She asks and I hold onto her hands as she looks into my face. "Cassie" I say softly. "Did she ask you to die for her?, Did she demand that if you? Was it her mother? Or that her Queen best friend?" Amelia hits me a round of questions that feel so much like a bullet I think I might die sooner than anticipated. And Amelia was a very close friend of mine. I talked with her everyday and we traded information we learned about this pack everyday. So yes she knew about Cassie's mother and about Elia as well. "No, it's none of those people, and I think Cassie would rather die than ask me to die for her" I defend Cassie and Amelia agrees because we both know how selfless Cassie can be. "Do you know who Georgiana is?" I ask her and she thinks for a while before nodding. "Yes, she's that beta girl, talk and beautiful but very rude.. I have seen her around" she says and I watch her facial expression. "What do you think about her?" I ask
Cassie's POVI find it funny how Gina and Amelia found it funny that I wanted to drink the poison. It was to be expected because truthfully I don't back down from a fight and Georgiana was too much of a fish fry to be a bother. I followed the ladies to Gina's room and playfully argued for cupcakes.This was the calm before the peace, I knew it. A knock sounded on the door and I knew who it was before they peaked in. I watched as Alder flashed his signature charm smile to Amelia and Gina. "Hello Ladies" he says and I see Gina roll her eyes. "Yeah yeah , we know take her away." Gina mumbles and I laugh."At least let him say hi first" Amelia says to her friend and I watch Alder falter over his words."Yes, I'm here to borrow my mate but still. I'd like to say hi" he says efficiently repeating everything that they said."It's been a while Amelia" he says to her and I watch as gratitude fills his eyes. "I was never able to say thank you for what you did " he says and she waves it off.
