10. BITE OR GET BITTEN

AURORA

Hastily, I walked through the palace, trying to find my way to Cassandra. My only way of hiding my secret was to first be on good terms with her.

I would assure her that I am a good person and I will stay as far as I can from Daemon. That way she would not rat me out to anyone.

It was difficult to locate her room because I did not take directions from anybody, I saw her walking into the Alpha's quarters and that was my only hope of finding her.

"Easy please" I recognized Cassandra's familiar feminine voice emanating from room forty-seven. I couldn't resist.

Taking a deep breath, I knocked lightly on the door and got no response.

My hands were itching to push open the door but I did not want to intrude, I was trying to be on her good side so intruding into her space would get me on more of her bad side than good but this growing eagerness inside of me prompted me to open the door after several attempts of knocking.

As I walked in, my ears were greeted by the soft moans that escaped Cassandra's lips "Oh God! please!"

Right before my very eyes was the repulsive sight of Cassandra, fully undressed on top of a very familiar figure, I could not see who it was but I was very certain that it was not Alpha Daemon, her mate.

"What the fuck?!" Beta Axel yelled. I opened my eyes in amusement as the lights came on.

What the hell is going on? Am I in a trans or is Cassandra having a secret affair with the Alpha's Beta?

"Shit! What the hell are you doing here?" Cassandra quickly stood up and wore her robe, she continued to shake in fear.

I knew walking in here was a bad idea but I needed to have a word with her, no one answered the door so I had to go with the only option available.

"Sorry" I briskly walking out of the room, my cheeks were read and I felt so embarrassed.

I was not caught in any act but for a second I felt like I was the one caught red handed.

How could Cassandra do this to her mate? And Beta Axel? How can he betray his Alpha? If anyone was to find out about this, they will be punished and the only punishment for treason against the Alpha is death.

I lowered my gaze and walked out of the room, my heart rapidly beating beneath my rib cage.

From the onset of Cassandra's arrival I knew she was a sneaky woman but this, is beyond what I had imagined.

I will have to tell the Alpha about this because if it gets out to the pack that I held such secrets from the Alpha and the pack, they would consider me as an equal to the treasonous bastards.

I do not want to be involved when they are punished.

Walking away from door, I could not help but feel guilty. The sight of her nakedness and the sound of her low moans continued to disturb my thoughts, if I keep this secret I am also betraying the Alpha and I can not do that. Irrespective of the fact that he brought me here against my will, he has been nothing but kind and caring to me.

"He could be doing the same as well, have you forgotten that he has tried severally to have you in his bed?" My wolf said to me.

"Yes he has but he has stopped it and realized that he has a mate and an affair outside that is wrong" I began to defend Daemon because I knew deep down that he is a good man and he does not deserve to be cheated or lied to.

"He is only been sweet to you because he wants to win you over to his bed not because he has a caring personality, have you not seen how cold and cruel he is to others?" My wolf was hitting on a valid point but still, I felt pity for him and I know i would feel guilty for not telling him when I see him.

CASSANDRA

"Fuck! Why did you not lock the door?" I glared at Axel, his face was filled with fear.

"Are you not going to answer me? You walked in here and did not lock the door. Do you know what trouble you have gotten me into?" I continued to raise my voice at Axel as he sat there on the bed, mortified and confused.

"You? I have gotten you into trouble? Have you forgotten that I am the Alpha's Beta? If this gets out, I am dead, you might be forgiven or banished but I will be hanged" Axel retorted, balling his fists in anger.

"Oh sorry Mr Beta, I was not aware that been the Alpha's Beta was more important than been the Alpha's only mate and Luna of his pack" I sarcastically replied.

What the hell does he think? That the Alpha might have mercy on me because I am his mate? That is the exact opposite of how it usually is, he will kill me because I betrayed not only the pack but the union we share as mates.

"So what do we do? We have to make sure that this secret does not go beyond one person. Only Jayda knows and that will be the end, hopefully" I sighed deeply and sat on the cushion.

"The best thing to do right now is to silence Jayda, if the only person that knows our secret still lurks around, there is a high possibility of her sharing it" Axel confidently said.

"That is a very good idea, we should kill her before her mouth kills us but how would we do that?" I asked.

"Why don't we do the same thing we did last time at the abandoned house? If not for Alpha Daemon, you would have killed her" Axel was full of determination, he paced around the room, brainstorming on ideas that would solve everything.

"It will not work, it was difficult to kill her last time what makes you think it will be easy now? We have to find a much easier way to silence her and I think I have the answer. This time we need to be more strategic and careful because killing her will not be as easy as you think" I said to Axel.

"What do you have in mind?" He raised a brow and stared at me.

"You will find out" I said finally before waking out of the room. Jayda is going to wish she never stepped foot into this pack, I will stop at nothing to make her life miserable and that is a promise.
