She blinked her eyes open. It was morning already. She hadn't slept for up to an hour.
" Prepare yourself. I have something important to do than watch you sleep like a deadlog." His harsh voice came. Was that a good morning?She only nodded and struggled to keep her feet steady as she walked to the bathroom. The pain was completely gone. She hoped she would never experience that type of pain again or she might go mad.She stared at her reflection in the mirror. Same bored face, same hollow eyes. She wished she was something more.As she opened the shower and shut her eyes, she felt body movements and she opened her eyes to meet his. She instinctively covered her parts." Don't." She gulped and dropped her hands. He walked into the shower cubicle which appeared smaller than it usually was.She moved backward as he walked towards her till her back touched the wall. He placed his two hands on the wall, caging her. He stared into her eyes for a minute. She watched him with heavy breaths.His hands moved to her breast and he palmed them so hard that she screamed in pain. He dipped his head and caught one nipple in his mouth. Her mouth fell agape as he layched on her nipples.His hand cupped her s*x and he pushed two fingers inside. He increased his pace rapidly and she threw her head backwards enjoying his actions. She reached her high and he withdrew his hands. His eyes traveled between her legs as he watched her come undone.He left the shower as quickly as he came in. She held the wall for support." What just happened?" She asked no one in particular.She took her bath more slowly than she intended trying to wash his hands off her body.She wasn't supposed to give in to him again. Especially not after last night but her body seemed to forget all they had discussed and agreed on the moment he was close.She tried to keep up with him as he led the way out of the hotel. He stopped at the reception to clock them out." Cassius, you are leaving already." The receptionist said with a flirty smile." Yes, I am."" Last night was awesome. I hope we can link up later in the future." Cassidy held her breath. Did the woman have no shame at all? Didn't she realize that he was with her?" Of course. I will ring you when I want you." Cassius winked at the woman who blushed furiously.Cassidy felt her eyes wet and she blinked severally to stop the tears from falling.They walked towards the black limousine waiting for them. The chauffeur bowed and opened the door for them.The ride was one of the quietest moments of her life. She cleared her throat severally but he never raised his head to look at her once. He didn't apologize for flirting with another woman in front of her. He even promised the woman another time." There is nothing to apologize for." She forgot that he was constantly reading her mind." Don't expect me to, in the future. I never apologize."" Of course." She cleaned a tear and shot her head outside and they were thrown into another round of silence." We are here." The chauffeur announced breaking the silence.The door opened and he stepped out of the door not bothering to wait for her. She stared at the beautiful and eloquent mansion that screamed wealth. Her father could sell her off for that kind of money.She pushed the door open. She wondered why there were no servants around. She kept pushing each door to find where he was but all the doors were locked." Will you keep pushing every door you come across?" His voice sounded behind her. When did he appear behind her?" This is my first time here. I don't know my way around here."" That is not an excuse. Keep up." He walked past her. She literally ran with her box after him. He was too fast.She walked into the room she had seen him disappear into minutes ago. She was breathless. He seemed to be addressing his household. She was the odd one there.A lady stood beside him. Her arm was linked with his. Who was she to him?He didn't introduce her. He only stared briefly at her. She felt awkward standing at the door holding her bags." Who is she meus dulcis? Is she your new pet?" Cassidy wanted nothing but for the ground to open up and swallow her. She? Pet?" She is not important." He answered not sparing her a glance. Cassidy blinked severally. She had never felt so dismissed in her entire life.She felt like a specimen under observation as the other woman scrutinized her with her gaze." That will be all for now." He announced and they all nodded. Everyone started moving to their various destination except Cassidy, who had nowhere to go." I'll show you to your room." A young girl of about her age said in a sweet voice and she nodded.They walked in silence for a few minutes. The girl pushed a door open and stepped inside." This is your room."" Thank you…"" I'm Amelia. I am Master Cassius's pet." Cassidy almost choked on her saliva." Pet?"" Yes. Who are you?"" I am Cassidy."" Who are you to him?" She contemplated telling Amelia the truth but she clamped her mouth shut instead. If Cassius wasn't going to tell anyone who she was to him, why would she?" Did he bring you here as a means to pay your father's debt?" Amelia gasped and she nodded. She could go with that. Besides, it was half the truth." I know how that feels. I was brought here five years ago for the same reason."" You are a human," Cassidy noted and Amelia nodded shyly." Yes. Uhm that's a story for another day. I should start going." Amelia threw her head down in submission and walked past her." Master." She whispered in a submissive voice." You are dismissed." She didn't need to turn around to know who the voice belonged to. She didn't hear Amelia's voice so she concluded that she had gone." Put on this dress immediately. We have a ball to attend." He dumped a bag on the bed." We just arrived."" You slept last night, didn't you?"" Not really."" Not my business." He was gone." You have five minutes." His voice sounded in the room sending shivers down her spine.She dressed within a few minutes. She stared at a bare face. She didn't know how to apply makeup because she never felt the need to. It was Elara's thing, not hers. She applied lip gloss and powder not wanting to disgrace herself.She stared at herself in the mirror. She wished the dress had hugged her hips tighter. She wished it had made her butt more pronounced. She opened the door not knowing where she was headed. Luckily, she met Amelia on her way." You look breathtaking even with little makeup," Amelia commented. " You are exaggerating."" No, I'm not. You are beautiful, Cassidy." Amelia said and it brought tears to her eyes." Did I say anything bad?"" No. This is the first time someone told me that I was beautiful." Amelia looked shocked for a while but she recovered and waved the air." There is a first time for everything." The two walked hand in hand as they walked down the stairs." Woah! I didn't know that the ball was here." Cassidy's eyes swept across the room. She was feeling nauseous. There were too many people present." Now you know." Amelia smiled weakly. There was a vacant look in her eyes. Cassidy knew it very well because that was how her eyes looked in the mirror.Her grip on Amelia's hand tightened as they navigated through the crowd. They suddenly stopped and Cassidy turned to Amelia." I have to go now. Just wait here for me." Before Cassidy could protest, Amelia was out of sight.She picked a slice of cake from the table and munched on it hoping it would calm her nerves. The balls were for Elara, not Cassidy. She tried to imagine what Elara would be doing if she were in her shoes. Surely, she would be mingling with people but Cassidy couldn't." What is a beautiful lady like you doing alone." A voice sounded behind her.She turned around to meet the most beautiful man she had ever set her eyes on, second to Cassius of course. Too bad no one could beat his beautyHis lips were moving but she could not decipher his words. She was mesmerized by his beauty. He snapped his fingers in her face." I was asking if you would dance with me."" I don't know how to dance." She whispered nervously." I will guide you." He looked determined. She scanned the crowd and her eyes landed on Cassius. He was dancing so close to the lady from earlier. If he could have fun why can't she?" Of course." She smiled lightly and placed her palm on his. He led her to the dance floor and as he promised, he guided her moves.His hands were on her waist and hers were on his shoulders. Their movements were too sensual and it was driving her nuts." You are very beautiful." He whispered into her ears and her core clenched." What is your name enchanted one."" Cass…Cassidy." She replied breathlessly.His scent hit her nose too hard."Mate""Mate." They said simultaneously and Cassidy shook her head. How was that possible? She moved away from him but he drew her closer to himself." Mine." He growled. She stared into his eyes. Her Amber colored eyes to his forest green eyes.Their moment together was disrupted when someone suddenly pulled her from the arms of the stranger. It was Cassius." Stay away from what belongs to me, Alpha Devin." He sounded so furious. His hands on her waist pulled her closer to him and she inhaled his scent, satisfied by it." She is my mate, Alpha Cassius!" Alpha Devlin folded his hands across his chest." Impossible! She is mine and only mine." Cassius turned her sharply and his lips landed on her hers. The kiss was rough and hard.Alpha Devlin pulled her away from the hands of Cassius. Cassidy was breathless. He had just claimed her in front of so many people." Cassidy is mine!" He growled.Cassius landed the first blow and Alpha Devlin landed the next. In no time, the two were rolling off each other.She blinked her eyes open. It was morning already. She hadn't slept for up to an hour." Prepare yourself. I have something important to do than watch you sleep like a deadlog." His harsh voice came. Was that a good morning?She only nodded and struggled to keep her feet steady as she walked to the bathroom. The pain was completely gone. She hoped she would never experience that type of pain again or she might go mad.She stared at her reflection in the mirror. Same bored face, same hollow eyes. She wished she was something more.As she opened the shower and shut her eyes, she felt body movements and she opened her eyes to meet his. She instinctively covered her parts." Don't." She gulped and dropped her hands. He walked into the shower cubicle which appeared smaller than it usually was.She moved backward as he walked towards her till her back touched the wall. He placed his two hands on the wall, caging her. He stared into her eyes for a minute. She watched him with heavy breaths.
“ She is my mate, Alpha Cassius!" Alpha Devlin folded his hands across his chest." Impossible! She is mine and only mine." Cassius turned her sharply and his lips landed on her hers. The kiss was rough and hard.Alpha Devlin pulled her away from the hands of Cassius. Cassidy was breathless. He had just claimed her in front of so many people." Cassidy is mine!" He growled.Cassius landed the first blow and Alpha Devlin landed the next. In no time, the two were rolling off each other.She watched as they hit each other hard. She moved to stop them but someone held her hand.“Are you crazy? Do you want to end your life now?” Amelia said, grabbing her hands tight.She turned to the crowd hoping that someone would pull them apart but the crowd watched them fight. No one was willing to pull them apart. She couldn't believe that it was happening. Suddenly, someone stood in between them.She could only see the side of his face but she knew that he bore so much resemblance with Cassius.Alph
She opened her eyes slowly. Her eyes were still heavy with sleep.She chuckled when she remembered how last night had gone. They had chatted into the night.He had told her about his childhood stories. His upbringing seemed fair to her. She wished that her parents were like his parents. But that would mean craving meat pies made from the cloud.The door opened and she turned to see the intruder. Of course, it was Amelia. None of the servants had the guts to come into her room. They avoided her like she was a plague. Honestly, she didn't mind. She was used to it already. It would be a lot of pressure if people suddenly changed their opinions of her.“I see that you are already awake.” She chuckled and sat upright.“You seem bright today. It seems like you slept well last night.” Amelia nodded and went to open her curtains.She thought about telling Amelia about him but decided against it.“Something like that.”“You should take your bath now. It's almost time for breakfast, your first
She thrashed about the bed until she woke up. It didn't stop the pain.“He was at it again”, she thought. Was it ever going to stop? But this time around, it was different. It felt like a distant familiar feeling. She hoped it was not. She held her stomach tight. She could feel the claws coming out.“This can't happen.” She concentrated hard on the patterns of the ceiling trying to fight it.She believed her uncle when he told her that it was over. She didn't know she was biting her lips until she tasted blood. The taste of her blood increased her hunger. She threw herself to the floor.'Wolfsbane!’ It was the only thing that was able to calm her each time.Where would she find it here and in a short period? She knew what would happen if she let it take over her completely. It was going to happen again and this time, her uncle was not here to make it stop. She had to work her salvation somehow by herself.She crawled to the door. Their scents filled her nose. It banged her walls beggi
She dreaded coming out for breakfast. What if it happens again? But she couldn't afford to miss breakfast.She stepped out of the bathroom wrapped in her towel. The fresh scent of the room filled my nostrils. She breathed in deeply and allowed the calming effect of the scent to calm her. There was no trace of wolfsbane.She smiled and muttered a thank you to Amelia. Amelia may be a human but she surely knew the effect the plant has on werewolves.She slipped into the dress Amelia placed on her bed. She didn't bother to look at her reflection in the mirror. She had no one to appreciate her so it was useless, she thought.Once again, she was the last to arrive at the dining table. Ophelia was seated beside Cassius again. She sighed. Another boring breakfast. She murmured good morning and was about to dish her food when Cassian took the dish spoon from my hand. What did I do now? She wondered.She turned to look at him. He had a smile on his face.“Let me.” She smiled at him and allowed
Her hands grabbed his shirt as she kissed him back fiercely. He stopped the kiss and smirked. “Always ready for me.” He turned to go while she stood there wondering what had just happened. He turned around when he noticed she wasn't following him.“Come with me. I will give you the grand tour.” He beckoned and she nodded.Her legs were still shaky from what had transpired between them a few minutes ago.She felt embarrassed when she saw Cassius at the end of the stairs dressed in his blue shirt and black trousers. He stared at her inquisitively.“I will take her on the tour. You shouldn't feel obligated to do these types of things.”“I am not obligated to. I just want to know her better. It isn't a crime is it?” Cassius shrugged. His eyes still on hers.“She is my mate not yours.” Cassian said, using his hand to comb his hair. It was obvious that he was frustrated.“You should treat her like she is then. She doesn't deserve your nonchalant attitude.” Cassian’s eyes flared up.It hap
The silence was killing but she couldn’t dare to utter a word. She wondered if she was on a tour or not. Of course, with him, the ruthless Lycan King, it was bound to be different. She didn’t know when she dozed off.She opened her eyes to see someone staring at her. How long had she been sleeping? Most importantly, how long had he been staring at her? Did she snore? Did she sleep ugly? Was he irritated by her sleeping form? All these questions filled her head. She shook her head. She shouldn’t think about him. She shouldn’t care about what he thought about her.She cleared her throat and looked forward. He relaxed into the seat.“You should have woken me up.” She said when she noticed that the car had stopped moving. They must have arrived at their destination. She couldn’t believe that she had slept all the way.“That is what I have been trying to do for the past one hour. You sleep like a log of wood.” He scoffed and she swallowed. She had never been a heavy sleeper. Why would she
She held her stomach tight as though it would stop it from growling. He shook his head and walked out of the mall. At first, she thought he was walking down to the cashier to make payment but he casually walked past the lady. Maybe, this was one of the many properties he owned, she thought. She noticed the staff arranging the clothes in the booth of the car. He walked into the already opened door. She knew better and followed around.“Uhm…are we done with the tour? Can we go now?” she asked, sounding as polite as she could.“No.” he simply said and went back to his phone. Her stomach grumbled again. She just stared out of the window of the car unable to admire the beauty of the pack.The car stopped again and she looked around. Why did they stop? It had not been up to ten minutes since they got into the car. He stepped out of the car and she followed suit. They had stopped in front of a restaurant. A smile broke out from her lips. He acted as though he didn’t care but he actually lis
