Cassie

chapter two

Why me? Why was this happening to me?! I looked at my new mate. Just thinking the damn word made bile rise in my throat.

He stared back at me with lust filled eyes that made me want to gouge them out. I felt my stomach knot up like earlier. This couldn't be happening! Not to me!

He began to move towards me. I took a step back and he growled. He took another step towards me and once again I moved back. I saw hurt flash through his beautiful dark eyes but it was soon replaced by anger.

"Why do you keep running away?!" he shouted. He was right and I hated the fact that he was making me run away.

So I did the only thing that came to my mind. I walked right up to him and glared into his eyes. Letting him see all my anger and hatred.

"I,Cassie of the Midnight pack re-"

"No! Don't!" before I could process anything I was pulled into his arms. Electrifying tingles passed through me. I jerked out of his embrace and ran past him.

I took the stairs two at time and locked myself in my room. Tears of frustration ran down my cheeks. I still had tingles from his embrace. I went into my bathroom and started a bath.

I sat in it and rubbed every place I felt his touch. I didn't stop until my skin felt raw.
I layed on my bed and pulled my knees to my chest.

'This isn't happening. I must be dreaming. That's it! I'm dreaming and soon I'll wake up. He'll be gone when I wake up. This whole night is nothing but a terrible dream.' I kept telling myself this as I fell asleep. But I knew it wasn't true.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I woke up to the smell of Anna cooking breakfast. I staggered out of bed and showered. Events of last night's dream played through my head. There is no way that last night actually happened.

I got ready and headed downstairs.
The others were already seated and eating.

"Good morning Cassie. How'd you sleep?"

"Morning Jake. Okay I guess. I had this really weird dream."

"Weird dream? Did your nightmares come back again?"

He was talking about the night my pack was slaughtered. I often had dreams about it but it wasn't constant. I would have them for a few nights and then they would stop for awhile,only to start again.

"If you want I'll have Sheila prescribe you some sleeping pills. Can you pass the syrup Damen?"

I looked across the table and saw him. I stiffened. Shit, I guess that wasn't a dream after all. I watched as Damen passed Jake the syrup.

"Cassie you okay?"

"Huh? Sorry Liz. Yeah I'm fine. Just not hungry."

"What?! Your not hungry?!" Anna said coming from the kitchen with a plate stacked high with pancakes. "Hell must be freezing over."

I smiled at her jokes and stood up to leave.

"Hang on Cassie I want to introduce you to Damen." Jake said."Cassie this is Alpha Damen. Damen this is Cassie."

Damen looked me up and down and raised his eyebrow at Jake." A rogue?"

"Yes but she's a special type of rogue. The only one of her kind actually." Jake said sipping some coffee.

"What kind? I'm the first rogue to kill off other rogues in history!" I said chuckling and walking away.

I walked out of the house and decided to pay Lacey a visit. Lacey was seventeen years older than me, making her thirty-four. She was twenty-five when we met.

She had helped Jake train me. When ever he went easy on me she would go ten times harder. I'm not exaggerating when I say her training almost killed me!

I knocked on the door of Lacey's house. She opened on the second knock. Her warm brown eyes locked with mine.

"Hey tiger. What's up?" she said pulling me in through the door and inside to her house.

"We need to talk." I said sitting on her couch. Lacey sat in a chair across from me.

"Alright spill."

I took a deep breath and exhaled." The alpha of the FullMoon pack is my mate."

I stared at her and she stared back.

"Holy shit you're serious aren't you?!" she yelled. There was the reaction I was looking for.

I nodded my head solemnly.

"Holy fuck! Oh shit. Oh fuck. You're fucking doomed!" Lacey said pacing back and forth.

"I know that! No need to remind me!" I snapped. Lacey gave me an apologetic look and sat on the couch next to me.

" What are you gonna do? Have you rejected him yet?"

I sighed and nodded." I tried but he wouldn't let me. What do I do Lace? Please help me!"

She held her hands up and stood up."Hey don't ask me I have no idea." She had never found her mate.

I huffed and pouted. We were silent for awhile. Thoughts ran through my head non-stop. I'm so fucked!

"Wait you said he wouldn't let you reject him right?" Lacey asked breaking the silence.

"Yeah why?"

"Don't you get it? It means he's interested in you!"

Oh hell no! No way was he interested in me.And even if he was, it doesn't matter. I'm not interested in him so there!

I groaned."Please don't say that! You're going to jinx me."

I rubbed my temples and tried to make the sudden headache that came subside.

" Cassie, why don't you want a mate?" Lacey asked.

"....For the same reason I don't want another pack." I mumbled.

I had already lost my family and my friends. I didn't want to lose anymore loved ones. The last thing I need right now is a mate.

"Cas, I know you're scared, but maybe you should give him a chance."

"I'm not scared of anything!" I said defensively. Deep down I knew that was a lie. There were plenty of things I was scared of. I'm just good at not letting it show.

"Besides, why should I give him a chance when I already caught him all over another girl?"

"Seriously? Were they....ya know..?"

"They probably would have been if he hadn't caught my scent." I stood up.

"Are you leaving already?"

I stretched and nodded." I gotta go. I want to start searching for a new hideout today."

"Be careful Cassie. I heard about your little incident with thise two rogues."

Dammit Lizabeth! She just had to tell Jake!

I chuckled."You know about that huh? Don't worry Lacey. I'll be more careful."

I left Lacey's house and went into the woods. As soon as I entered the woods I caught his mouth watering scent. Damen was close by. Really close.

I began to walk in the other direction. Away from him before he could notice my scent.

" Cassie..."

Ah fuck!
