Chapter 4

"Don’t be stubborn and do this! Cassie just to learn that she will be the future Luna and she can't depend on you on the time, it should be the other way around. You know your father’s health is deteriorating day by day. You need a strong Luna by your side when you take over!" She looked into his eyes as she said each word with all seriousness.

Ethan said nothing.

Later that day;

Cassie prepared dinner for Ethan and Luna Monica. After she was done, she served the dishes and set the table so that it looked good. Just at the same time, a lady walked in. She looked so hot in the short gown she wore and slipper which was laced with a real diamond. No one needed to tell Cassie that the lady was a classy and rich one.

When Cassie raised her head, she realized it was Rissa who had walked in.

"Hey, maid!" Rissa called and walked towards her.

"You are the slut who slept with my man the other day. Aren’t you shameless at all, you’re poor and tattered yet you chose to sell your dignity so cheaply in such a dirty way? Imagine meeting your mate, what would you tell him?" She raised her brows arrogantly before she continued.

"Will you tell him you have slept with all men even before you met him?! You whore!" Rissa yelled and looked at her as though she was trash.

Cassie looked down, she felt so bad for herself and it seemed like she was going to cry. She knew being mated to Ethan was trouble but she didn’t think she was going to be thus insulted.

"Ethan is my mate." She managed to say.

Her words made Rissa so mad, she looked at her from her feet to her head. She realized that she was putting on Ethan’s favorite shirt, the hundred thousand dollar shirt she had gotten for him on his birthday.

Of course, if Cassie was lying would she be wearing his shirt?!

"You whore!!" Rissa yelled and leaped towards her, she laid her hands on Cassie and gave her a resounding slap.

Then she pushed her to the floor and slapped her head until she began to drag her hair almost pulling them off her scalp. Cassie cried out loud like she was begging for help.

Rissa was so annoyed, she made sure she beat Cassie up until her mouth began to bleed. She didn’t even care if Ethan was going to be so annoyed with her, anger had filled up too much that she just wanted to see her dead.

"Just make it stop!" Cassie yelled.

Rissa didn’t stop hitting Cassie because of how weak she sounded and how weak she behaved. She knew Cassie was gullible and she could do anything to her.

Just at the same time, Ethan walked in. When he saw Rissa on Cassie dragging her hair and biting her arm, he was so pissed. He went towards her and dragged her away from Cassie.

"Rissa!!!" He yelled and pushed her away.

Rissa sprang backward, she watched as Ethan went to Cassie’s aid, bitterness welled up in her. She had loved Ethan her whole life, how can he treat her like this for a maid?!

Rissa and Ethan used to date until Rissa traveled and left him. Now that she came back to claim him, she found out he was mated to a maid. How can the moon goddess treat her like this?!

"How dare you lay your filthy hands on my mate?!!" Ethan yelled, his face popped out. His face was contorted with rage while his teeth bared. He clenched his jaw as he gave her a wild stare that didn’t seem to frighten Rissa at all.

Rissa was known for her strong behavior, she was hardly scared and this was because her father trained her to be fearless no matter what.

"Your mate? Do you mean that wet puppy?! Wait, don’t tell me that’s our future Luna?" She looked into Ethan’s eyes which were already softening by her words.

"Haha, I can’t believe that wet puppy will be the Luna of Black moon pack. Imagine, she couldn’t even stand up to me, she was so scared she had to wait for you to defend her. I hope you understand the rule in our kingdom, what it’s like to be the Alpha of thousands of wolves, and how hard it can be sometimes to make decisions during the time of war and conflicts? This puppy is gonna be killed in a twinkle of an eye which will lead to your own death. Are you really willing to put your life into the hands of this one… now, I see you’re infected? Gosh, I better get out of here!" She said and picked her bag. With this, she walked away.

Cassie gently held onto his arm standing beside him, she acted like a little girl standing behind her father for protection. The words Rissa had said kept retreating in Ethan’s mind but it didn’t show on his face. He turned around and hugged her, she cried into his chest while he pats her back.

Later that night, Ethan was woken by a call. He turned and checked who it was, it was an unknown number so he didn’t pick it up.

He turned and faced Cassie who had slept off, she scored softly and snuggled herself into him. Ethan smiled and wrapped his hands around her. With this, he slept off.

By the time Ethan woke up the next day, Cassie wasn’t beside him anymore. He checked his phone and saw numerous calls on, about twenty missed calls. He widened his eyes and sat up Immediately, his phone had been on silent.

He quickly called the number, it was his mother’s voice he heard.

"Ethan…" her voice sounded like she had been crying for a long time which made her lose her voice.

"Mom..?" He yelled.

"Ethan… Ethan, you should have some with us… why didn’t you come with me…" she sobbed loudly.
