**Cassie's Point of View**I was stunned when both of them collapsed in front of me. They abruptly turn pale, and I have no control over it. I manage to raise them and place them in the bedroom with all of my effort. I'm so scared right now that I can't think straight."Cassie, take a deep breath!" "You have to think straight and do something about this," I told myself as I ran until I reached my father.“Dad! Please assist me! Dax and Derek collapse unexpectedly in my place, and I felt strange about it! This isn't normal!" It's a good thing my son isn't here yet, because we were able to visit my flat with my brother Tom.My father noticed Dax and Derek laying on my bed, and they appear to be deceased right now. I'm at a loss for what to do! This reminded me of something that had happened before. It's the same feeling I had when I lost my best friend. This cannot happen again, and I will not allow it to!“Dad? What is going on with them? Are they ill? "Did they receive a curse?" I inq
**Cassie's Pov** The day they accepted themselves as humans and werewolves changed everything. I, my father, and my brothers teach them about our culture, such as what is right and bad, taboos, and, most importantly, the essence of being a werewolf as someone who loves the moon and is a partner of the forest and nature. It appears that the attacks have been more regular in recent months and that we must go elsewhere, for real. Because Xander and those who support him are sending threats and animals with one objective in mind: to kill me and the rest of the people I care about. Something I will never let happen. I love my family, especially my only son and the two guys who teach me a new definition of love, and I will never make the same mistake again. I will never allow the past to repeat itself. Xander should brace himself since he will have no idea that we will be there and that I will personally cut his throat because that is what he deserves. Someone like him does not deserv
**CASSIE’S POV**I was sweating profusely and feeling my muscles burn at the gym. A strong atmosphere was produced by the sound of weights clanking and music booming in the background. With each rep, I pushed myself harder, wanting to meet my fitness goals.As I looked about, I noticed that others were working just as hard as I was, all for the same reason: to get stronger, fitter, and healthier. Despite the physical hardship, I felt a sense of success and pride in myself for going to the gym and making the effort.The gym where my best friend and I were exercising was large and well-equipped. It had a variety of workout equipment, including treadmills and elliptical, as well as weight machines and free weights.Mirrors were used to line the walls, giving the space a bright and open atmosphere. The air was nice and fresh, with fans circulating the air and keeping us cool as we sweated. The music was upbeat and motivational, which contributed to the energized environment.Other people
**Cassie’s POV**I had been looking forward to my birthday for weeks, planning every little detail of the party in my head. But when the night before the big day finally arrived, I couldn't seem to fall asleep. My mind was racing with excitement, and no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't seem to drift off.The next morning, I woke up feeling groggy and tired. As I stumbled downstairs, my brothers were waiting for me, grinning from ear to ear."Look who finally decided to join us," my older brother Tom said, laughing.I rubbed my bleary eyes and tried to muster up a smile, but my brothers could tell that I was tired."Did you stay up all night reading your birthday cards?" my younger brother Ben asked, giggling.I felt a flush of embarrassment creeps up my neck. I hadn't been able to sleep, and now my brothers were teasing me about it. As the day went on, their teasing only got worse. They would make jokes about my tired eyes or my slow movements, and I started to feel self-consc
**Cassie’s POV**I NEVER thought that starting from that night, my life will be ended so beautifully. Kaiden and I have a short make-out session before coming back to the party. I am hesitant to announce the news about finding my mate, which is Kaiden. But I have no other choice when Kaiden himself dropped the news that shocked everyone.“Congratulations!”They all greeted us. Everyone is happy, I am happy too. I thought that being mated is bad. But Goddess Luna is kind enough to let me be mated to someone I love the most.“We never see this coming, but it is great that you are the next Luna of this pack,” our alpha said in the middle of his laughter.After the gathering, we came into the living room and our parents talk about our future. Kaiden and I are still young, but age does not matter when it comes to mating. We can be married as early as we can. But both families decide that the marriage will happen 2 years from now.I nervously sat across from my parents, waiting for the righ
**Cassie’s Pov**I woke up in the middle of the night, my heart racing and sweat dripping down my forehead. I had just had a nightmare about Kaiden, my mate, and it had left me feeling terrified and anxious. I tried to calm myself down, taking deep breaths and reminding myself that it was just a dream. But the more I tried to relax, the more my mind raced with fear and worry. I got out of bed and started pacing back and forth inside my room, trying to shake off the feeling of unease. I couldn't shake the image of Kaiden from my mind, and it felt like he was still haunting me, even in my dreams.I tried to distract myself, picking up a book and trying to read, but my mind kept drifting back to the nightmare. I felt trapped and alone like there was no escape from the fear that was gripping me. As the night wore on, I started to feel more and more exhausted. But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't seem to shake off the feeling of fear and anxiety that had taken hold of me. Eventually,
**Cassie’s POV**Kaiden offered to carry the groceries for me as we approached the checkout line. As we placed the bags into the car, I felt relieved and appreciative for his assistance. We talked and joked on the way home, enjoying each other's company. It was such a tiny thing, but having Kaiden by my side transformed the routine process of grocery shopping into an exciting experience.I was grateful for Kaiden's willingness to accompany me to the shop when we returned home and unpacked the groceries. It was a simple gesture of love and support, but it demonstrated how much he cared about me.Then he suggested that we go to the nearby park later. I, like him, never bother to change my clothes. So, after giving him a cool drink, we went straight to the park. This will be our first official date, and I'm not sure what to anticipate or what he expects of me.This will be my first outing with my love interest. I mean, I believe in having a label, and he has yet to provide me with one. W
**Cassie’s POV**I am currently in our kitchen. I'm making cookies for a light breakfast. I must also prepare because this is the day we have been looking forward to. Today is the Moonlight Festival. Though I am aware that this day will be different from others. I received a message from our current alpha, informing me that they will send the dress I need to wear tonight in order to introduce me to the soon-to-be Luna. I'm concerned about it. I am impervious to certain criticism since many people, both human and nonhuman, despise me for reasons I do not understand. The majority of them are female.I mean, I understand why people despise me. That could be because I'm so close to Kaiden. I can understand their rage at times. I'm not going to pretend to be innocent here. I used to wish I could grip the neck of one of the girls he used to date. Because I was envious of them. But, returning to my work, someone gets to hug me behind my back, and I smell the familiar aroma that I adore. It'
