Chapter 6

Cassie looked between Ethan and Luna Monica who looked at her with deep hatred. As much as she wanted to talk back, there was something in her called low self-esteem that kept dragging her back.

Ethan looked at the way her face fell to the floor, her lips fell into a pity line and she rubbed her palm against the other and took her legs into each other.

The glint of hope and endurance he had slipped through his hand like water under a bridge. It was gone and can never be gotten.

Since yesterday, he thought about what Rissa and his mother said. He realized they were right and Cassie wasn't right for him at all, she could never be the strong Luna he needed.

Sometimes, it was better to use your brain than your heart. Although he loved Cassie, she was not good for him, he thought as he stared at her.

Few minutes of staring at her, Ethan walked out of the house again. Cassie looked up and saw him zoom off, she wanted to stop him, pull him into her hands and kiss him passionately because she had missed him so much but she couldn't.

Two Days After:

Ethan never returned home, Cassie tried to reach him numerous times but his number was not available. Luna Monica went back to her wicked behavior and punished her more including the maids.

Cassie allowed them to treat her most maliciously, she only wanted Ethan but he never came.

“Do you think Ethan is angry at us?” asked her wolf as she washed Luna Monica’s clothes in the bathroom.

Cassie sighed, she didn't say anything for a while until her wolf sounded again.

“Do you think he is going to reject us?” instantly, her heartfelt as though daggers had been stabbed into them.

“How can you even say that?! Ethan would never reject us and he is not planning on doing that!” yelled Cassie to herself more than her wolf.

Her eyes were already red as blood, she hadn't slept for a long time because Luna Monica wouldn't let her be.

After she was done washing the clothes, she went to dry them. Then she resumed in the kitchen to prepare lunch as requested by Luna Monica.

Cassie was doing this when she smelt the familiar scent that came only from Ethan, her heart suddenly leaped for joy and her wolf jolted almost tearing herself out of Cassie.

Cassie left the lunch she was making and ran to the living room where she saw Ethan. However, he wasn’t alone. He was with another woman and he was kissing that woman.

Cassie blinked her eyes and rubbed them to be sure she wasn't dreaming. She pinched herself several times, breathing in and out to be sure she was seeing clearly.

As much as she wished that it was a joke, it wasn't. Ethan was with another woman whose hair was a red and slim body like that of a model. He was making out with her right on the couch.

Cassie paused on her track, as though rooted to the ground, tears poured down her cheeks. She didn't know what to do, she thought of going there to confirm whether it was Ethan or just go back and pretend like she didn't see anything.

“What are you looking at?!” Luna Monica who watched her from the staircase yelled and walked closer to her.

“You wench! You don't have shame, you're looking at my son and his new mate kissing each other! How do you feel? Horny? I can call the guards to take turns on you if that's what you want.” She sneered.

Cassie bit her lower lips, she looked down at her feet and rubbed her palm on the other.

“How can you be so shameless?! How can you not have shame at all? Do you still think my son wants you? After proving that you're nothing but a liability?! Do you think any man would want a detrimental person like you?! Huh! You're an orphan, you have no one. You are weak and incapable of making good decisions, Do you think you are going to be a good Luna to this pack?! How can you be so selfish and inconsiderate?!!” Luna Monica yelled. She was much angrier at this time, her eyes lit up in anger, irritation, outrage, and fury. She wanted nothing but to tear Cassie apart.

Just then, Ethan noticed Cassie’s and his mom’s presence. Rissa who was busy kissing his whole body sat up and looked at his face, he had squeezed them together and looked at Cassie which annoyed Rissa very much.

“Please ignore her, I want you,” she said.

Ethan said nothing.

“Remember your choices Ethan, you can't go over there and fuck this up. Don't think about only yourself, think about everyone in this pack and how much that incapable girl can destroy if you allow her to be by your side. You know it's only me you need at this moment.” She picked her words gently and made sure it penetrated his head and messed with it.

Ethan only stared into space and listened to all she said. He thought what she said was right, he thought that it was better to leave Cassie and stay with Rissa. He will only reject her on the day he has been crowned Alpha.

Cassie raised her head gently and looked at Ethan, he didn't look at her. He looked at Rissa and planned to continue kissing her. Cassie felt so sad because Ethan didn't look at her side at all, he only faced Rissa and his hands clasped around her waist.

Cassie felt so much constriction in her heart, she had to pinch herself many times so she wouldn't burst out in tears crying. After Luna Monica said all the mean words in her heart, she walked away and Cassie walked to the kitchen after one glance at Ethan and Rissa.

She reached the kitchen and her tears came flying out of her eyes. In tears, she prepared lunch and made to serve it at the dining room only to meet Ethan and Rissa sitting there.

Cassie kept looking at Ethan but he avoided her eyes. She wanted him to look at her and tell her the reasons for this. Was he going to reject her? Why is Rissa by his side? Why didn't he say anything when his mother talked to her badly? Cassie had so many questions that only Ethan could answer.

She was staring at Ethan that she didn't see Rissa had stood up and she collided with her. It seemed Rissa did it on purpose because once Cassie hit her, Rissa allowed the food to pour on her and she screamed in pain.

Cassie was sure that she dodged her but Rissa had come at her and allowed the food to pour on her. Immediately, Ethan and Luna Monica stood up as Rissa's scream filled the air.

Ethan moved closer to Cassie, he pushed her away and went to attend to Rissa.

Cassie watched as he touched Rissa and cleaned her body.

“Don’t touch her please.” her wolf sobered

“Cassie, talk to Ethan, why did he turn his wolf off? I can't feel or talk to his wolf! Why is he doing this to us?! Why?!!!” like bone breaking from limb to limb, her wolf heart broke with tears and anguish.

Just then, Luna Monica dashed to Cassie, she raised her hand and gave Cassie a heart-wrenching slap that could be heard by anyone.

It was so painful, the pain reverberated through Cassie, and tears found their way out of her eyes.

“You wench! I didn't know you are capable of this much wickedness, I would have never accepted you into my house!” she yelled.

Cassie docked her head, she held unto the tray and sobbed gently.

“Cassie, I didn't know you are apt in being nasty. How can you do this to Rissa? How can you be so wicked to hurt her skin like this? From now on Cassie, I reject you as my mate!” he said.

Cassie instantly raised her head. The tray in her hand fell to the ground, her wolf fell to the ground and her leg shook - too heavy to lift themselves.

“Ethan...” she called and walked closer to him.
