Alder's POVMy skin bristles at the way he speaks to my mate and I clench my fist looking at the size of fifteen of them. I glanced at Schofield and saw he had that same disgusted , angry look on his face for their manner of speech to his Luna. Good, at least I had a glimmer of hope that of I start beating them to a pulp he would join me, at least to defend the honor of his Luna. I flinch as Cassie takes a step forward and makes a show of counting them. "Fifteen" she whispers loudly. "Is this your total number sir?'' she asked the one who confronted her, taking position as an unsolicited leader in the group. He huff and shakes his head. "No, we were fifty. The rest stopped work when it became too dangerous and the wage became too small for the stress. It just wasn't worth it anymore." he says and I flex my wrist. "What's your name?" she asks and I'm curious as well. I wanted to have his name in my mind , ready to hit him. "Eugene" he said and she tilts her head. "Well, Eugene,

Cassandra's POV"Yeah what's up?" he asks with a cutting edge in his voice and I inwardly grimace. Fuck I shouldn't have done that "I'm sorry for earlier" I say and his lips curl a little, not upwards but downwards. "Nothing wrong with a Luna correcting her subordinates" he shrugs and I sigh. This actually needs more repairing than I thought. "It's just, that's my wolf's reflex sometimes" I say lying through my teeth and praying it will get me off the hook this time."I said it's fine, I'm okay nobody's hurt" he says and I stand my ground." Well you saying nobody's hurt proves that you're hurt" I say and he scoffs. "Says who Luna?" he asks and I roll my eyes."Your words your tone, they all prove that you're mad at me. " I say and he nods. "What ever rocks your boat" he says and I sigh again. "Let me make it up to you" I murmur and he raises his head as he stops punching the bag of sand in front of him. " Make it up how?, you don't owe me anything, you made your mind clear

Cassandra's POV" I not only want to kiss you up here, but down there as well. All over your face, all over your breasts and your nipples. To look deep into your eyes as I am now and fuvk you raw and deep that you'll never ever forget who you belong to" he says and I'm entranced by his voice and his words. I never expected my mate to take like this. "You'll forget every other man that has touched you or kissed you before me" he whispers and his breath in the back of my ear only spurs me onLooking so harmless, under that exterior was a man that was so sexy he couldn't hide it as it spilled out of himNot that I was sure he wanted to hide it anyways. I swallow as I watch his lips, hoping I do not look so hungry for him to kiss me. I look up into his eyes for the last time and I see his wolf push to the surface his eyes glowing before he kisses me. And oh my days, Elia is a big fat liar. It isn't rose and fields and butterflies with this man, it's hard and fast and rough and I like it.

Cassandra's POVI feel the tremor go through Gina's shoulders as we both walk into my mother's room. Well her first then I follow closely behind, before she faints thinking I'm leaving her to her fate here. "Oh daughter, it's no nice to see you, and what is this delicious gift you have brought me?" my mother asks and Gina hurriedly looks at me shocked. "delicious?" she asks me . I laugh shaking my head, she is so easy to scare."Knock it off mom" I say rolling my eyes at her teasing. "Or else we might spend the next twenty minutes trying to wake Gina" I say and my mom laughs. "I'm so sorry dear, I just could not help myself when I smelt her fear, she looks so cute" mom says as I nod agreeing with her.Despite being Jack's age mate and age mate and about five years older than I am, she looked like my age, small and cute like a button. I lead her to the chair opposite my mother's at the tea table where my mom is sitting."I prefer to stand" she says to me and I laugh. "Common, you

Cassandra's POVWe spend the next few days wondering and discussing who it might have been, or who they might have been seeing as it was not possible for just knew person to run all that by himself. We being, Alder, Georgiana, Scofield and myself. At a point I wondered on why Georgiana was even there at all but waved it off thinking that maybe her stupid brain could mislead us into knowing who it was. You know , maybe we would find out who it was by mistake. Although I wasn't too comfortable with her being involved in the whole investigation, but she still thought she was the beta so why not leave her be. However after days of pondering and wondering, we soon got bored and tired of the whole shit show and as a result, left everything to die down. Since no one was hurt, we took it as a prank and left it at that, although my gut was telling me it could be more. We strengthened our security and reinforced our borders. Then Elia came visiting. I was sitting in my office staring at the le
