Chapter 5
Cassie POV"Make yourself comfortable," She says to me and smiles at me before she finally ambles out of the room. I stare around for a while and sigh deeply. Why do I feel like I'm in the pit of hell? Why do I feel like my life is doomed? Well, I shouldn't be surprised though.Sitting on the edge of the soft and comfy bed, I stare into space as memories of the past came flashing back in my mind, I can't help the tears that roll down my cheeks. Why does my dad have to hate me to the point of this? Why does he have to hate his daughter so much to the point of selling her off to a stranger whom he knows nothing about? Is this how much of a plague I am to him? I know this is my fate and I have to accept it no matter how much I try to think about it, but then it still hurts me. I was rejected by my father, the only family I have and the only person that supposed to give me all the love and attention in the world.'It's not worth it," I try to convince myself, wiping off the tears from my eyes but more keep coming out. How am I supposed to stop myself from crying, when my dad has given me just one gift, the reason to always cry and never be happy? How am I supposed to be fine with all the pains I've been through and the ones I'm yet to go through?As they say, time flies especially when there's evil ahead of you. It's finally evening and I am still sitting on the spot I have been since I came into the room. I'm too weak to do anything, not even bathing.A knock sounds on the door and my heart skips as I snap my head to look at the door. Waves of nervousness and fear shoot through me and I gulp down the lump that suddenly formed in my throat."Co...coming..." I say in my dry and painful voice, wiping off the tears from my eyes before going to get the door, only to see Madam Leila standing with a tray of food in her hands."Hello, Cassie. Can I come in?" She asks with the usual smile on her face and I nod my head blankly, leaving the way for her to come inside."I brought you food," She drops the tray on the center table in the room while I stand by the door and watch her. You aren't expecting me to eat the food, are you? I don't even trust them. What if they poison me?"The food is not poisoned, Cassie. I understand that you're still new here and very scared, but I don't blame you for that. You're just like a child to me, and hurting you is the last thing on my mind. So come over and eat your food," She says to me softly and I freeze on the spot. Wait! Don't tell me she read my thought. Wow! Now, I know that I'm in a very deep mess.Without protesting, I walk over to the bed and sit down. She serve me the food, not after tasting it to clear my doubt that it wasn't poisoned. Not that I trust her entirely though. Who knows, maybe poison doesn't affect her.I take my time to eat my food and I must confess that she is a good cook, if the food was made by her."Master said that you should wake up early tomorrow. We're traveling," She says and my face drops sadly"Excuse me," She stands up, and with that, she packs up the plates and strides out of the room. Fresh tears well up in my eyes and soon they find their way out. Does this mean that I'm never going to see my father again? I'm going to miss him. Yeah, I shouldn't be like this considering everything he had done to me, I shouldn't care about him at all considering the pain he had caused me. But even so, I still love him. He's the only family I have, so it's OK to be like this, right? I wish I can see him one more time, I wish I can hug him for once, even if it's also going to be the last time.I cry my eyes out until there's no water left in my innocent eyes. I manage to put myself to sleep.The sound of a blaring alarm jolts me out of my deep sleep and I groan tiredly, forcing my eyes open. Since I wasn't the one that set the alarm, I need no one to tell me that it must be from the owner of the house. I check the time and it's still 3am. For heaven's sake, who wakes up by this time of the night?A knock came on the door and I flinch fearfully. Who could be knocking at this time of the night?"It's me, Cassie," madam Leila's voice sounds from outside, and I groan tiredly. Standing up from the bed, I walk over to the door and pull it open."Master asked me to give you this. You should be ready in less than an hour. His flight is taking off in less than two hours and we should be at the airport soon," She hands me a neatly arranged dress and I take it from her sluggishly, slamming the door afterward.As much as I want to sleep, I know that'll be the biggest mistake of my life. I drag myself sluggishly into the bathroom to have my bath. I wonder where we are going to, but I'll know when we get there, right?By the time I arrive downstairs, I meet him dressed already and we head to the damn airport after then. All through the drive to the airport, I couldn't stop thinking about my father and making different wishes that I know very well will never come true. I wish he shows up and save me, I wish he returns all the money to this man and bring me back home, that's the only wish I have. At some point in my life, I wished I could run away from home, I wished I could stay far away from him, and now that I have, it hurts so much."We're here," Madam Leila who is sitting next to me in the backseat, whispers to my ear, bringing me back to reality. An hour later, we board the plane and the journey began. I am going to be taken to a place I have never been to, I am going to be taken far away from here. I wonder what fate has in store for me...Chapter 6Cassie POV It take a whole forty-eight hours before we finally arrive at the country we were heading to. At some point in the journey, I was wondering if we are still on earth or have gone to another planet. You won't blame me, right? That was the longest journey of my life. We finally arrive at the strange place, and I must confess that I feel so weird being here. Strangely, we didn't take a single belonging from the mansion and it's kind of driving me crazy now. What the heck is going on? As much as I want to feed my curiosity and ask questions, I dare not to. Just the look on the mysterious man's face sends shivers down my spine. I wonder what his name is. As the car drives down the road, I keep observing the area as I stare out through the window. Unlike other places that are filled with houses, this place is strangely filled with nothing, but plants and wild animals. I cringe when I see a deer. As the car drives farther in the rough and bushy route, my hope of seein
Chapter 7"You didn't have to do that, my lord," One of the old werewolves utters, bowing respectfully.Alpha Damien is sitting on his throne, having a meeting with all the members of the palace castle. Over the years, although alpha Damien may be someone feared by people, if there's one thing he cherishes the most, it is the cooperation of his people, and he dims it fit to listen to them, no matter how difficult it seems to be for him. He's a very understanding alpha."Yes, my lord. Lord Luther is right. Who knows, maybe this young lady is innocent. I know you're angry and seeking vengeance, but don't you think it's better to be sure of everything before you take any action?" Another one stands up and utters, while alpha Damien keeps staring into space, listening to them one after the other."We're not even sure if she's the daughter of the beta," Another one shrug."I have been patient for over twenty years, and I can't take it anymore. That bastard betrayed my father, impregnated,
Cassie POVHis question takes me by surprise and I just stand staring at him confusingly. How am I supposed to know what he's talking about? He was the one that bought me and brought me here, how is it possible that he's suddenly asking me this? Judging from the look on his face, he doesn't look like everything is fine, and I'm beginning to get nervous already."Who is your father?" His words echo in my head again, and I gulp down nothing. He only asked me a question, but I feel like there's more to the question he asked, and I'm already getting all nervous."My...my father? He...he's Mr. Robert," Even if I want to be bold, being around him is enough to make me nervous. I feel my heart beating fast as if it's going to pop out of my chest anytime soon. Why do I feel like everything is not fine?I watch as he stares at me for seconds with an unexplainable expression on his face, but even if it isn't written on his face what the problem is, I can see clearly that something awful is going
Chapter 9Her heart skips a million times at the sight of the cologne. She open her mouth to talk, but words failed her. The cologne was given to her by her dad years ago, but he never told her what it's used for. He had told her to always apply it on her skin and also keep it safe, so no one would ever see it.Back then when her dad had given that to her, she was suspicious but she never dared to ask him any questions, regarding the cologne. For someone that hated her from birth, giving her cologne as a gift was something that seems to be impossible, that was what gave her the impression that there was more to the cologne than her dad had told her. Seeing the dark expression and anger on the alpha's face, she knows that there's a problem, and whatever the problem is, has got something to do with the cologne her father gifted her.She picks it up with her trembling hands and holds on to it tightly. For years, she has cherished the cologne, because it's the only gift her father ever ga
These past few days have been hell on earth for me. I have been made to labor in the castle, I have been literally turned into a slave, doing one work or the other, and it's already driving me crazy. Madam Leila has visited me secretly whenever she can, so my stay here isn't entirely boring. How I'm suffering for the crimes my father committed, is still a puzzle I'm yet to know how to solve. I've also been trying to weigh the possibility of me being a werewolf, but I just can't still believe that. It's horrible to even think about.The thought of everything Madam Leila had told me earlier, came replaying in my head. 'If you want to survive here, you have to obey the law. This place is not like every other place where you're free to do what you want. I am telling you this because I like you a lot and I do not want you to get hurt' her words have been ringing in my head since she told me that.'For the next two weeks, you have to stay in your room, I will attend to you and you'll be inf
His image slowly fades away and she snaps her eyes open to find herself lying on the cold floor of the prison. It was a dream all along. A drop of tears slid down her cheeks as she crawls back and rests her head on the wall, hugging her knees to herself. Her whole body is cold and her body is already getting numb. The prison is cold and her body is almost shivering, but there are no clothes to cover her and protect her from the cold that keeps penetrating her bones. She sighs deeply as her mind wanders off to what happened yesterday. She still can't believe what the alpha had told her about her being a werewolf. It's hard to believe. She has been living all her life believing that werewolves are supernatural creatures that only existed in series, but it never occurred to her that they are really existing and even if she wanted to give that a thought and weigh the possibility of them existing, she could never imagine that even she would turn out to be one. How's this even possible?
Cassie RobertMy heart races rapidly as I stare down at the floor. My body feels so weak and my head feels heavy. I have many thoughts conflicting in my mind. The courtroom is suddenly overpowered by silence, which adds to my fear. All these years of living in pain, I have always wished that I die, but at this point that I see my doom standing in front of me and staring back at me, I feel so scared. I am scared, not because of death, but because of the tortures that accompany it. For the seed of a traitor, as he called my father, I don't think he would want to grant me an easy death without making me go through pain. Taking me down memory lane, my heart hurts deeply as the thought of my father spurs through me. All he ever brought to me was pain, I never got the love I deserved from him and now he's going to be the cause of my death? How wicked of him. "I have an announcement to make..." His cold and domineering voice finally comes on, and waves of fear spark through me as I feel m
The loud moans coming from one of the rooms fill the veranda. "Yeah...yes...there..." Her moans finally become clear and audible. The large room looks extremely beautiful, with portraits of black wolves on the wall. A large mattress is in the middle of the room. Anyone would think that more than three people are sharing the bed, but alpha Damien is the only one sleeping on it. The moans are coming from the bathroom. Alpha Damien is in there, slamming one of his concubines as always. This is what he does almost every day to calm himself down, especially when he's angry.While growing up, he always has women at his call, ready to go to bed with him anytime he wants it. For someone who's handsome and has the charm to melt every woman's heart with his gracious look, it takes him no effort to get whoever he wants. People call him 'the sweet beast'. He may be dangerous, but he's tender and do thing softly behind closed doors. He's someone women would never get tired of throwing themselves
