Chapter 1 One
*** Cassandra's P.O.V ***
I stirred to the sweet melody of birdsong outside my window, a tranquil morning with the sun rising and the air brimming with freshness. Stretching, I couldn't shake the tinge of disappointment, knowing another day of pretence lay ahead.
I'm Cassandra, a werewolf, but unlike the others in my pack. I'm the only one unable to shift, carrying the burden of shame and insecurity. Caution from the pack was natural; after all, I stood apart from them.
Hastily dressing, I joined the others at the pack's gathering spot. Laughter and chatter filled the air as I approached with hesitation.
"Hey, Cassie!" one of them greeted me warmly.
"Hey," I responded, keeping my gaze low.
"Did you hear about last night's hunt? We caught a huge deer!" another exclaimed.
I mustered a weak smile, aware I couldn't partake in the hunt due to my inability to shift. The sense of inadequacy weighed heavily on me.
As they continued bantering, I felt like an outsider, unable to relate to their experiences. Striving to prove myself, I remained on the fringes, always feeling that it wasn't enough.
After the gathering, I sought solace in a run through the forest. It was the time when I felt truly free, embracing my true self. The wind caressed my face, and the earth beneath my feet filled me with life.
My peaceful moment was abruptly interrupted by rustling in the bushes nearby. My heart pounded as a formidable black wolf emerged, revealing its menacing teeth.
Frozen in fear, I didn't know how to react to the sudden threat. However, just as the wolf lunged towards me, another wolf appeared and intervened, thwarting the attack.
Witnessing the intense fight, I watched in awe as the black wolf retreated, leaving me alone with my saviour.
"Are you okay?" he inquired, approaching cautiously.
I nodded, still in shock. "Thank you for saving me."
The wolf, Gabriel, smiled warmly, his eyes emanating kindness. "I'm Gabriel, the pack's alpha."
A mixture of fear and excitement coursed through me. The alpha had come to my rescue. "I'm Cassandra," I replied humbly, feeling small in his presence.
"You're brave," he praised, admiration evident in his gaze. "Most would have fled, but you stood your ground."
Blushing, I felt a glimmer of pride. Perhaps I wasn't just an outsider after all.
As Gabriel and I conversed, I found myself drawn to him. His charisma and strength were captivating, but I knew better than to get too close. He was the alpha, and I was a mere pack member.
Days passed, yet thoughts of Gabriel persisted, filling my mind. Despite my efforts to focus on pack duties, he remained a constant presence in my thoughts.
One day, while patrolling, we stumbled upon traces of a rogue wolf. Gabriel informed me, showing trust in my abilities. "We'll wait for more information," he said, appreciating my eagerness to assist.
Warmth spread through me at his approval. "Of course, I'll do whatever it takes to protect the pack."
We spent more time together, patrolling and discussing pack matters, and I felt a newfound sense of belonging.
However, a nagging voice reminded me of my differences, unable to shift like the others. Would Gabriel ever view me as an equal?
During one patrol, Gabriel halted and turned to face me. "Cassandra, there's something I need to talk to you about."
My heart skipped a beat. Was he going to question my place in the pack?
"I've noticed how much effort you've been putting into proving yourself," he said earnestly. "I see your value, even if you can't shift."
Tears welled up in my eyes, touched by his words. No one had ever expressed such understanding.
"Thank you," I whispered, feeling a burden lifted.
Drawing closer, Gabriel's gaze held intensity. "Cassandra, I feel a special connection with you. You understand me like no one else."
My heart pounded. Did he feel the same way?
"I know you're different, but that doesn't matter," he assured me. "I want to be with you, Cassandra."
Elation washed over me. Gabriel, the alpha, wanted me. Yet, doubts clouded my mind.
"I'm not sure, Gabriel," I hesitated. "What about the pack? How would they react?"
For a moment, Gabriel's expression darkened, but he composed himself. "The pack doesn't need to know. Our relationship can remain a secret, just between us."
Unease gnawed at me. Was it right to conceal this from the pack?
But when Gabriel leaned in and gently kissed me, all doubts melted away. At that moment, it was just us, and nothing else mattered.
As we parted, exhilaration surged through me. I was with Gabriel, the alpha, and I'd never felt more alive.
Yet, deep down, I knew our path wouldn't be easy, built on secrecy and lies. The consequences loomed, and I wondered if I was prepared to face them.
Gabriel and I commenced a clandestine relationship, stealing kisses and treasuring stolen moments alone whenever circumstances allowed. It was as though we inhabited a realm of our own, where only our connection mattered.
The depth of my affection for him astounded me. He made me feel like the singular focal point of his universe, imbuing me with a sense of uniqueness that had eluded me until now.
Nevertheless, a persistent unease lingered at the fringes of my consciousness. What if our secret was exposed? What repercussions would befall me? And what of Gabriel himself?
I endeavoured to push these disquieting thoughts aside, prioritizing the moments I shared with him. Like the occasion, we surreptitiously ventured out to observe the stars, reclining side by side in the grass, our hands entwined in a delicate embrace.
"Do you ever sense that life encompasses more than this?" I inquired, my gaze fixated upon the vast expanse of the sky above.
Gabriel turned his head, contemplating my query with a pensive countenance. "What do you mean?"
"I mean, we are werewolves, are we not? Yet, at times, it feels as though there exists something beyond our current reality, something that eludes us," I expounded.
