LOGINCassie’s POVThe library on campus was quiet on a Wednesday afternoon. Most students were either in class or out enjoying the warm weather. I sat across from Asher at one of the long wooden tables on the second floor, pretending to read my textbook while my mind wandered. He was deep in conversation with one of his football teammates, Jake, who had stopped by to discuss an upcoming game.I was bored, and a little mischievous.Jake got up and went to go get something.“I’m coming, i’ll be back.”Asher’s leg brushed against mine under the table. I looked up and caught his eye. He raised an eyebrow slightly, a silent question. I smiled innocently and slowly slid off my chair, disappearing beneath the table.Jake came back some minutes later.The space was cramped, but I fit perfectly between his legs. I could hear him continue talking to Jake without missing a beat.“Yeah, we need to adjust the defensive line. Last game they exploited the left side too easily.”I unzipped his pants quiet
Cassie’s POVThe next morning, I woke up with a quiet kind of hope. It was my birthday. Twenty- two. A new chapter, especially after everything we’d been through. I stretched under the warm sheets. Luka was curled against my back, Caspian’s arm was draped over my waist, and Asher’s hand rested on my thigh.I waited for them to say something. A kiss. A “happy birthday.” Anything.But they didn’t.Luka kissed my shoulder like any other morning. “Morning, baby.”Caspian stretched and got up. “I’ve got an early class. See you later.”Asher just ruffled my hair before heading to the bathroom. “Have a good day.”I lay there for a moment, staring at the ceiling, they forgot or maybe they didn’t care enough to remember after all the chaos. The sting settled deep in my chest. I got dressed quietly, not wanting to make it a big deal, and slipped out of the house alone. The security team tried to follow, but I waved them off.“I just need some time by myself today,” I told them.I opened my phon
Cassie’s POVThe days after the diary incident still felt heavy. I could still hear some whispering in the hallway, and others stared a little too long. But the worst part was the silence from Lily. She hadn’t replied to any of my texts, and every time I saw her, she looked the other way. I really missed my best friend. The one who used to make me laugh until my stomach hurt. The one who had been there through the worst of it.This particular Friday night, Lily finally texted me back.Lily: I’m sorry for not standing up for you when Austin was mocking you about what you wrote in your diary, I really miss you and I want us back together. Karaoke bar by 8pm, just us. No boys. We need this.I smiled at my phone for the first time in days, and I quickly. The guys were in the living room when I told them my plans.“I’m going out with Lily tonight,” I said, standing in the doorway. “Just the two of us. Karaoke.”Luka looked up from his phone, eyebrow raised. “No, not after what she did to y
Cassie’s POVThe cafeteria smelled like overcooked fries and cheap pizza sauce. I stood at the entrance with my tray, scanning the crowded room for an empty seat. Normally Lily would wave me over, saving me a spot at our usual table near the windows. But today, she was sitting with her new group of friends, laughing at something on her phone and she didn’t even glance my way.I swallowed the lump in my throat and found a small table in the corner by myself, the chair scraped loudly as I sat down and a few heads turned, but most people went back to their conversations, still, I felt exposed, it was like everyone was waiting for the next piece of drama involving me.I poked at my salad, my appetite gone already. The whispers were starting again, not loud enough to make out the words, but I could feel them. The diary incident had spread like wildfire across campus. My private thoughts, the raw, intimate things I’d written about my alphas, were now public entertainment.I caught Lily look
Cassie’s POVThe roar of the crowd still rang in my ears as I slipped through the back corridor toward the locker rooms. Caspian had played like a beast tonight, scoring the winning goal in the last minute, the stadium had exploded, but all I could think about was that girl on the sidelines and the way she’d pressed her chest against his arm, laughing too loud, touching him like she had every right. It wasn’t rational. I knew it was nothing. But after Lily’s silence and everything else piling up, it had lit a fire in me I couldn’t ignore.I found him just outside the locker room, hair still damp from the shower, duffel bag slung over one shoulder. The second his eyes landed on me, something shifted in his expression.“Hey,” he said, voice low. “You waited.”I didn’t waste words. I grabbed his hand and pulled him down a quieter hallway, away from the noise and celebrating teammates. My heart was hammering, jealousy, hurt, and desperate need twisted together until I felt like I’d burst
Cassie’s POVThe next few days at school felt like walking in hell, every hallway, every class, every glance from other students carried the weight of what Lily had said, the whispers had died down a little, but I still caught them sometimes… ‘That’s the girl with the three guys…’ or ‘Did you hear what her friend said?’ It stung more than I wanted to admit.This morning, Caspian drove me again, he was quieter than usual, one hand on the wheel and the other resting on my knee, the silence between us wasn’t uncomfortable, but it was heavy. “You don’t have to walk me all the way to class every time,” I said as we pulled into the parking lot.He gave me a look. “I know, but I’m going to anyway, at least until I’m sure things are really calm.”I didn’t argue because part of me was grateful, the other part felt like the more people saw me with them the more they would continue to talk.We walked across campus together. A few people stared, but most just went about their business, when we r
Cassie’s POV The side bell rang again, and my heart thumped hard on my ribs. Luka was still between my legs, eyes peering down at me in hunger. “I pushed his shoulders weakly. “Stay here,” I whispered, my voice came out hoarse. “Don’t make a sound.”He smirked but didn’t argue, I grabbed the first
Cassie’s POV I turned to Asher but Principal Cale was already at his side whispering something in his ear. Asher glanced at me briefly before walking off with him. Caspian’s phone buzzed, he stared down at it and gave me an apologetic gaze. “Training, the coach has been messaging since the hall
Cassie’s povEveryone was whispering to one another asking whom I was referring to. I unzipped my bag and pulled out my phone before I forgot my last move. The voice recording I had made during the call I had with her in the hallway. Opening my phone, I immediately found the file and before I hit
Cassie’s povMy cheeks burn red, flustered by him being so close to me. “I’ll handle it.” He agreed, straightening himself.“Thank you.” I bit my lip and walked past him before he could change his mind.The main hall had already begun to fill up. I stood in a corner biting my fingers with my gaze o
