**Cassandra's POV**“Desperate!” I screamed, but she didn't flinch. That annoyed me greatly. Who does she think she is, taking my man and giving me stupid attitude? What nonsense!“I didn't say you were desperate. I simply said you sounded desperate. It's not right fighting over a man who isn't interested in you.” She folded her hands.“What did you just say?” I clenched my fists.“If he was interested in you, you wouldn't be feeling this way because he would give you all his attention. Have some dignity as a woman and quit being a stalker.” She scolded.She had the guts to say such things to me? I'm going to make sure she pays.“Things might get messy from now on. I want to give you the last chance to back out of this.” I threatened, glaring at her.“We aren't competing for anything. I don't understand why you're acting this way, but the sooner you know that nothing is going on between Aloha Xavier and I, the better for you.” She said and closed her door.I smirked. She's daring me,

Scarlett's POV**The day was quite boring for me because I had nothing to do. First off, the Alpha was nowhere to be found, and I wasn't certain why I wanted to see him badly. No work at the office and Sandra was too busy to spend time with me. There was nothing interesting going on except for the preparation for the Luna's death ceremony. I've been in my room all day and needed to stretch my legs a little; maybe go for a little run. It's been a long time since I did that. I also needed something to take my mind off the menstrual cramps.Sage, my wolf, purred in excitement the moment I thought of running, and I could feel her leaping for joy within me.“Hey, hey, calm down there. Do you want me to shift in the palace?” I chuckled.“I'm just so excited. You have no idea how long I have waited for this.” She said as I stood up. I could feel her happiness, and it was making me jittery.“Okay, fella. Calm down,” I cooed. When she didn't make another move, I went into the drawer and picked

**Alpha Xavier's POV**I couldn't control my emotions and cried on her shoulders for a long time while she patted my back, assuring me that all was well and everything would be fine.Avery has been the best thing that has ever happened to me and when she risked her life to save mine, I was unable to stop myself from feeling that it was all my fault. If she hadn't tried to save me, she wouldn't have died.Before we got here, Arnold had advised that I tried to get over her. That is what I'm trying to do, but it's damn hard. Even though I feel something for Scarlett, it still hurt to let my number one go, but it was a decision I had to make. I won't forget her because she shared a space in my heart.“There, there, it's alright. I know how you feel,” She said calmly, still patting my back. Her voice was so soothing, and I felt my tense muscles start to relax. After a few minutes, I pulled away from the hug and wiped my eyes. Suddenly, I realized what I had done; I just looked weak in the

**Scarlett's POV**“You're letting go?” I asked, my voice laced with shock. “I'm not saying that I'll forget her or something. I just don't want to feel this pain continuously anymore.” He bent his head.I sighed. “I know, it's a good thing to let go, but are you really letting go because you want to?” I asked him and he nodded.“Most things I've understood from what Arnold told me is that holding on to the past can stop you from doing what actually makes you happy. You can't forget the past, but you can choose to be happy,” He faced me with a smile. “I have chosen to be happy, Scarlett.”I smiled back. “That's a good one. I didn't know you had this side to you,” I joked.“There are countless things you do not know about me.” He replied and I smiled.He took the picture and placed it on top of the shelf. Furthermore, he also dropped the frames he took out of his drawer on the shelf too and faced me.“That's the last one,” He sighed, putting his hand on his waist.I was happy he was f

**Michael's POV**“Who's there?” I asked as I walked through the deserted valley, but the response I got was silence. The silence gave off an eerie feeling, and the fact that I had no idea about where I was worsened it.I was barefooted and the ground was cold, making me shiver a bit.“Anybody?” I yelled into the night, but my voice echoed back to me.With a sigh, I decided to keep going, even though I had no idea about my destination. It seemed like I had walked for hours, but it was only for a second. I could feel my legs giving out and my body becoming weak.I looked ahead and saw a figure standing and looking in my direction. Happy that I had indeed found a savior; someone that would take me out of here, I summoned strength and rushed to the person. As I hit closer, I realized that it was a woman, but her face wasn't obvious, so I decided to keep going. Whoever she is, she might know a way out of here.When I got there, her face was still not visible, and I was prompted to ask, “W
