Cassi's pov It was like a nightmare that would have never ended when I was finally discharged from the hospital. My parents followed me all the way through and even went home along with me. From time to time the topic of my husband would stray into the conversation. My first reflex to that was to divert the conversation to other things, anything at all. But my parents always found a way to bring the conversation back to him again. "Just when we were beginning to trust him he started acting like this I knew there was something off about him…" my mother complained bitterly and not unexpectedly my father was backing her. Both of them claimed that a responsible husband would have taken care of his wife and forgotten about the trip but I reminded them that it was a really important one without diving into too many details that would leave me getting entangled into my life like a fly entangled in a spider's web. They were obviously not impressed and so all the tiredness in me I just

Alder pov To say that my return was a great shock to my pack was a great understatement. I came with my legs shaking like jelly and I practically collapsed at the front door after I collapsed and had to be rushed over to the pack doctors and immediately treated. By the time I regained consciousness my Beta was next to me and so was my wife, the one that had been forced on me by my pack. Initially I didn't even recognise her at all as my wife it was kind of funny whenever I picture my wife it was Cassi that came to my mind immediately, the image of this woman had completely disappeared which was quite ironic because I had literally spent years married to her and I had spent most of my time with Cassi with her wearing a veil. Naturally everybody was very curious about what had happened to me. The woman that had been married was too busy trying to ask any questions and so it was mostly James that was asking the questions. "We thought that you had died we searched everywhere for y

Cassi's pov It was strange watching my entire world fall on me like crumbling walls and yet despite all of this there was nothing I could do to stop everything from happening. My parents were out of my reach and I could not contact them. How could I even disclose the information to them that I was going to be dethroned by the high Court? They have always been so encouraging and kind to me but would this come as a disappointment to them? The only person that I could rely on in this difficult time was my trainer, Hanson. He would help me with the most encouraging smile on his face and I did my best to reciprocate it so that I wouldn't look ungrateful. I wasn't looking forward to seeing him. every time the door opened up and a man was walking through I was hoping that it would be my husband and every single time I was disappointed to the point that I wish that he couldn't even come to see me at all so that I wouldn't have my hopes going high like that. But even with all of th

Cassi's pov The killings went on and it almost seemed like it would never end. Two by two my people were plucked everyday like flowers in a garden, except with more brutality in they were killed every day. My own people became so agitated against me to the point that some people make it their duty to barge into the palace almost everyday to blame me and today was no different. I was about to force some breakfast down my throat after being severely scolded by my former trainer that I was not helping the situation by starving myself and that was one of my guys came and the spoon that was in my hand clattered on the ground as I stood up taking quick strides until I made my way outside to the Palace gates. outside of the gates was what could easily be called a small riot people were holding up signs and screaming saying that I was the one that caused all of this if only I had not kidnap my husband and brought him over there none of this would have happened." you are a selfish

Cassi pov The war was becoming imminent with every moment that pass by because now it was not just something that was being drafted on my study table but a reality that was about to become mine. I was quite surprised that everything was happening so quickly, I had arranged for divisions to be created that would take a new recruits and train them and my former trainer was one of the trainers for the divisions this was to enhance efficiency and to have as many people as possible well equipped for the battle that was about to come and yet I still didn't feel ready. Naturally anyway there were other things that I had already put in place to make everything easier for everyone but I still felt like I wasn't ready I guess I would never really feel like I was ready because this was not a kind of situation that somebody could go in and they would have everything that they needed at hands reach but I had done a lot of research and had asked everyone that could give me any credible informati
