The Alpha's Love ONE
Cassa's POVThe ache stabbing through my side jolted me awake, and I groaned, my hand instinctively seeking the source of the pain. Every movement sent searing waves of agony rippling through me, and a feverish heat consumed my body.Struggling to open my eyes, I squinted at the unfamiliar room. Where was I? My head pounded as if a hammer relentlessly hammered against it. Closing my eyes again, the memory of the red-eyed wolf and its silver fur streak flashed in my mind. Had they taken me?My brows furrowed, remembering that the mayor in town had saved me before the ravising werwolf killed me.But where was I?Forcing my eyes open once more, I took in the gray walls, the glass window draped with lilac curtains, and the expensive-looking furniture filling the space. The soothing scent of lavender hung in the air, calming me as I lay upon a plush mattress covered by a soft purple comforter.Gritting my teeth, I pushed myself upright, the pain in my side a constant reminder of my predica
The Alpha's Love TWO
Cassa's POVThree weeks had passed, and I was slowly recovering. In just three days, I'd be able to walk without these damn crutches. Sabrina had been incredibly attentive, constantly by my side, offering words of encouragement even when I couldn't see the light at the end of the tunnel. But despite her efforts, the monotony of being confined to this room was driving me insane. Staring out of the window, unable to move freely, it felt like a prison.I had met Doctor Adam, expecting some old geezer, but to my surprise, he was a good-looking man just a few years older than me. Every week, he'd visit, checking up on my progress and occasionally mentioning my grandfather, Daniel Sullivan. Apparently, my grandfather was one of the investors of the hospital where Adam worked, and Doctor Adam couldn't sing his praises enough. Not that I cared much; I barely knew my grandparents, having left their strict household to pursue my dreams in Los Angeles after secondary."How are you feeling, Ali?"
The Alpha's Love THREE
Cassa's POVJulius's gaze shifted to me momentarily before returning to Astallia. "None of your business, or Catharine's. Tell my sister she'll regret what she's done.""Catharine won't be intimidated, just like her brother. But she did pay me handsomely for the chokehold you gave me. I almost died," she snarled."Lucky for you, I didn't kill you. Now leave, and tell Catharine to bring Sabrina here. I'll deal with her soon enough.”"You didn't change, Julius. So rude.” And with those words, she vanished into a cloud of purple smoke.I gasped, blinking rapidly in disbelief. Was that real? How did she just disappear like that?Julius simply glanced at me before striding away, his footsteps echoing with a solemn promise. I was left standing there, bewildered and without answers, trying to make sense of what had just transpired.I gathered my courage and hurried out of the room, calling after Mr. Montalvo as I walked down the hallway. He was about to turn when I caught up to him."Can I go
The Alpha's Love FOUR
Cassa's POVMy eyes narrowed as I scanned the list of tasks I was expected to perform. They were duties I had never imagined myself doing, akin to that of a servant, or worse, a prisoner serving her captor! I fought the urge to crumple the paper in my hand, my nails digging into my palm as I suppressed my frustration.The Mayor had departed for town, leaving two men to guard me. At the bottom of the smooth, finely printed paper, it stated that the rules would take effect once I was fully recovered. Bitterness welled up inside me, and I let out an exaggerated sigh.Pushing myself up from the divan, I approached the stairs but hesitated. An idea struck me—I would explore the house to familiarize myself with my surroundings.It was already noon when I had entered the room, my legs aching from the walk. The house was sprawling, second only to a mansion, and I nearly lost my way if not for Carter, one of the guards, accompanying me. I carried a paper bag delivered by the Mayor's driver ten
The Alpha's Love FIVE
"I don't think you understand, this isn't fair," I reasoned, my voice tinged with frustration. "What about my freedom? Why should it be stripped away from me? Just because Montalvo and Sullivan are close doesn't justify taking away my freedom. Saving me shouldn't mean locking me up in here." I gestured with my hands, gesturing at the room around us as if it were the cage I spoke of. His brows furrowed, eyes narrowing as he bore into me. "That's life, Cassa. We make sacrifices for our actions." "A sacrifice? You've turned me into a servant in this house. I wouldn't complain if I still had my freedom. I'll accept the consequences of my actions, but I won't surrender my freedom!" I exclaimed, my fists clenched tightly, trembling with anger. I refused to agree to his terms. Julius let out a sarcastic laugh, which only served to irritate me further. "Your life is paid for with your freedom, Cassa," he emphasized each word, sending a shiver down my spine as he spoke my name. "You can't d
The Alpha's Love SIX
I observed Cassa ascend the stairs, her light footsteps echoing until she reached the room, marked by the clicking lock of the door.Silence enveloped the house, an unexpected occurrence at this hour, signaling my mother's visit. Such an occurrence must hold significance. Yesterday, I conversed with Paps, discussing my cousin Theodore's predicament. He sought assistance regarding a case he found himself entangled in. Paps relayed that Theodore's actions were in self-defense; however, the victim was not a werewolf but a fellow human—the son of a senator.Theodore was familiar to me—a decent lad, loyal to family and pack. His involvement in such a grave matter was unforeseen. At twelve, he was still in his human form, lacking the strength of his wolf until the age of fourteen. With the senator's influential connections, Theodore faced a high probability of imprisonment. The Ganther family's plea for aid, channeled through Paps, seemed logical given our Montalvo's ties to politics.Perha
The Alpha's Love SEVEN
I stepped out of the room but halted in my tracks when I noticed the mayor standing outside the door. There was no warmth in his expression, no hint of joy at seeing me. I swallowed hard, my heart pounding as I studied his handsome face, a question lingering in my mind. Why was he here?"My mother will be visiting you," he informed me.“Why?” I asked softly, furrowing my brow as I tried to comprehend the mayor’s unexpected announcement. Or perhaps I had misheard him. Why would his mother want to see me? What could be the reason? He leaned against the doorframe, his presence looming over me. His white polo shirt stretched against his muscular frame, accentuating his broad shoulders, while his neatly combed hair exuded a subtle scent of soap and aftershave."Act as though I'm a benevolent Samaritan," he instructed, sidestepping my question.A skeptical expression crossed my face. "You're not, and I won't pretend otherwise," I retorted, momentarily hardening his features before a mischie
The Alpha's Love EIGHT
Cassa's POVThe car came to a halt in front of a house, and as we passed through the town, I couldn't shake the feeling that the place wasn't too far away from civilization. We drove past a ranch just a few meters away from the house. It was a grand mansion, with a majestic fountain standing proudly in front. However, my mind couldn't let go of the memory of the wolves chasing us. Three of them had rushed towards us, and I could still hear their growls echoing in my ears. I felt like I was watching a scene unfold before my eyes, yet my voice was lost in the chaos of it all. I was confused, trying to make sense of what was happening around me. Mrs. Montalvo apologized for the incident, but she urged me to find a place where the pack warriors wouldn't be able to track us. "Why are those wolves after us?" I asked her, my voice filled with concern. "They're here to kill you," she replied matter-of-factly. "My son is too confident that the omegas guarding you will be enough to keep you
