LOGINChapter 22- The Special teaCASSIEL My jaw drops. Never in my entire life had I seen a Delta placed first before An Alpha.Cody has the audacity to strut past me and give me a smug look.I nod to myself repeatedly. You might as well enjoy it while it lasts.The only thing we have in common with the witches is the forest but even on their grounds, there are herbs planted everywhere, different varieties of flowers that bends towards the maiden every time she passes them.Sounds of birds fill the places, a cat advances towards us, turning back to a witch and startling me.“Hi Sam,” he greets cherilly as he passes and regards the rest of us curiously.Young witches, who look barely above thirteen are casting spells at each other. One turns her friend into a frog and when she hops past me, I almost step on her.Samantha mutters something under her breath and the girl turns back to normal. She shouts thanks at her while the other curses at Samantha.I frown, realizing that taking only a f
CHAPTER 21 - THE YOUNG MAIDEN CASSIEL He shakes his head, his eyebrows hitched in a frown. “Im just as confused as you are. I don't know why they are requesting for me in particular.” “Why did you insist on being the one to go in the first place?” Michael asks, his voice filled with tiredness. “I felt if they were to demand for more blood for whatever reason else, it still has to be me to do it instead of drawing another one of our wolves into it.” Michael nods. “Fair enough.” Cody lets out a sound of frustration. “If you guys had just let me explain…” “That’s enough talking. You both will make me go crazy. Cody and I will go together. I want to see why they want my Delta.” “That means you will be gone for days?” Michael rubs the back of his neck. “You are leaving me in charge for days,” he murmurs. “I trust you and Melody to take care of things while I'm gone.” “I don't know about this.” Michael gnaws at his lower lip. “Why don't I and Cody go?” I gave him a look. “Since w
CHAPTER 20 - THEY WANT CODYCASSIEL “The witches?” Melody exclaims. “They gave us this solution in the first place and from the look of things…it’s not working.” Michael throws up his hands. “We don't have much of a choice do we? Who knows? Maybe they didn’t pass the message clearly to Cody. It’s either them or we watch our whole pack get wiped out.” Another sharp pain passes through my chest and I wince. “He’s right. We can't continue like this.” I address my Delta, “Cody, arrange some of the warriors that will go with you to the witches coven today.” He nods, already turning towards the exit.. “Yes, Alpha.” Michael steps forward. “I will go instead. Remember that last time, they demanded Cody's blood for some dubious reason that they won't tell us about. Who knows? They might try to collect more from him this time.” For some reason whatsoever, my Delta argues back, “It was for their daughter’s ceremony and it’s well past that.” Michael blinks. “I will go.” “I seriously think
CHAPTER 19 - BLIGHT GETS WORSE“Yes, I knew.” I stare at him. “And you never thought to tell me?” “But how did you come to know?” he asks instead. There’s a painful tightness in my throat. “That doesn't matter. What matters is the fact that you knew something so important about me and yet, you kept it from me. Why?” He swallows hard. “I didn't want you to think about all that love, you had already gone through all that. I…” He pauses, his eyes pleading with me. “I just wanted to protect you… I throw my hands in the air. “Protect me from what?” My hand clenches into fists on my thighs. “It seems like right from birth. Everyone loves to make decisions for me. This is not protection. I had the right to know and you heard no right to hide this from me.” He pauses, stares long at me. I wait for him to argue so I can release all the frustration building up in me but instead he apologizes. “You’re right. I shouldn't have. You deserved to have known this. I'm sorry,” he reaches out f
CHAPTER 18 - ARE YOU HAPPY WITH HIM ELARIS After leaving Sarah’s cottage, I don't waste time in informing the Lycans of our immediate departure. Luckily there isn't a fuss, as they are all tired of the pack already anyway. I go looking for Liora but meet Cassiel on the way. He raises an eyebrow when he sees me at the Alpha wing. “I came to inform Liora that I would be leaving,” I say. He rubs his eyes. “Liora has traveled.” I feel a twinge of disappointment. “Again?” I had been hoping to see her before I left. “She told you about her travels?” he asks. “She did tell me she has been traveling..” He perks. “She told you where?” I shake my head, intending on the promise I made to Liora. “No.” He eyes me. “You’re hiding something.” I fold my arms over my chest, realize I'm being defensive then drop them. “What makes you think that?” He startles me by taking a quick desperate step toward me, his scent overflooding my senses and I resist the urge to take one back. N
CHAPTER 17- HAD MALRIK KNOWN?ELARIS“Who would I even tell? I won't tell anyone, I promise.” I let go of her shoulders.Liora nods but I can still see her hesitating. For a moment, I think she isn't going to speak until she says, “I met…my mate on the day of the moon ritual.”Happiness washes over me. “Oh wow, that's great news!” I exclaim but her expression is still solemn.My brows furrow. “Isn’t it a good thing? What’s wrong.”She shakes her eyes and casts her eyes downward. “There’s nothing wrong with him. He’s perfect.” A smile takes over her face but it drops. “It’s just that he’s a rogue.”I blink. “Oh.”The Ash mere pack still runs on the old traditions. The council enforces them up till today, it was so surprising that they had accepted that much human technology in the clinic.They don't accept rogues into the pack no matter what. I can see why Liora isn't at rest.Then it hits me. “So that’s why you have been traveling!” She nods.I grimace. “You’ve been traveling into no
CHAPTER 1 - The SlapI punched Cassiel in the face. He doesn’t fight back, just let me do it. I punch him harder, sinking my fist into his cheek.“What happened to us?” I whisper, my eyes lowering.“I’m not an expert at this but I'm sure that’s not the proper way to knead a dough,” Liora says as sh
CHAPTER 11 - SIBLINGS PAINELARISI stare at him, trying to process what he said. “You want me to go back?”“Yes.” He gestures at his arm. “In the three years I've known you, your Lycan has never had much problem with me. But she does now and we both know, it’s because of the Alpha. With him having
CHAPTER 5 - THE BLIGHT Three years later Cassiel’s pov That sharp pain An Alpha feels when a mind link snaps, when the end of the link connected to pack member goes silent is heart wrenching. In the literal sense. This happens either when a wolf had gone rogue or had lost their life. The latt
CHAPTER 4 - THE LYCAN EMERGES Sharp pain slices through my chest, making me gasp. But without a wolf, I couldn’t experience the full pain of breaking a bond. Caspian falls to his knees, clawing at his chest, blood seeps through his chest down his hands. I take a step towards him then stop. I sta
