Chapter 70
Back to Cass’s POV
“Every twenty minutes, the guard makes a round. That is our opening.” One of my men tells me.
I nod as I stare at Oliver’s
pack house from a good distance. After taking over that god–awful town, we headed straight here. I want
to make Oliver pay for what
he did. I might not have that
mask on now, but I can still
feel it on me. I have the
ghost sensation that it is still
over my eyes and I hate it, not to mention the pain of it being drilled into my skull is still fresh in my memory.
My group is not big, so the element of surprise is a must. We need to get in there and take out as many
as we can before anyone
notices.
Leading a team is new to me
but I did not want to wait. To
go back to my pack, I would have had to come near Oliver anyway. But I decided
to do this because I knew for
sure that if I went back to the
pack first, Garret and Victor
would suggest waiting on attacking Oliver. They
always have a reason to
hesitate and I hate it.
“There. He’s moving.” Kanda
says.
I nod. “Now. Keep low and quiet. Take down anyone you come across–with the exception of children–and don’t let anyone ring any alarms.”
We rush in through the
shadows until we are behind
the pack house in a dark
corner.
“Split up. Four teams. Two
teams out here taking out guards one by one. Don’t kill them. They can be useful once Alpha Oliver is dealt with. The other two teams go inside doing the same until
we make it to Alpha Oliver.
Now HE…he is mine.”
They all nod.
My team and Kanda open a
window and go inside the
pack house. The room is dark and empty of people. It is late so I doubt any pack
members–who are not
guards–are awake.
We come across the first
guard. Kanda knocks him
out in a flash. He doesn’t
even make a thud as Kanda slowly puts him down. We carefully head through a hall and find another guard. Just like the other one, we take
him down and continue. I carefully open the doors trying to find the main office
where I assume Oliver could
be. If we can’t find him in his
office, then we’ll search for
his room.
We come to a door where I
can see light coming from
the bottom threshold of the
door and we can hear
muffled voices.
“This is it?” Kanda asks.
I nod. “I think so.”
Everyone gets ready. I slowly
hold the doorknob to not
make any noise. After taking a deep breath, I open it.
There are four people in
here and we rush them.
Kanda kicks one man behind
his knees and makes him
kneel. Then, she puts her
arms around his neck,
constricting him. Two of the other men start fighting two of my own men while I rush
the last one. The man I
approach is sitting down. He
turns to me when he is aware
of what is happening and I immediately stop in my
tracks.
As I stay in shock, he immediately gets up and
faces me.
“COLT!”
“CASS!”
I immediately clash into his
arms. He holds me and I
almost feel like I can’t
breathe because of how tight
his arms wrap around me.
He pushes away and looks me over again, then pulls me in again into a hug but this one is now gentle.
“I’ve missed you. I’ve missed
you so much!” He says.
My hands cling to his shirt and they shake… I shake. The
emotions I feel towards this
man are incomparable to any emotions I have ever felt in my entire life. I love this
man with my whole being.
“I found you.” I whisper. “I found you.”
“Uhm…help…” I hear Victor’s
voice.
I reluctantly pull away from
Colt and stare at Victor who
is held by Kanda with her
arms around his neck.
“Oh! Let him go. It’s okay,
Kanda.” I look at my other
two men. “It’s okay. They are my pack.”
Victor gets up, patting his
clothes, and then stands next
to Colt but not before he
gives Kanda a look of
irritation.
“What happened? How…why
are you guys here?”
“Most likely, for the same
reason you are here. To take
Oliver out. But the f**ker
was gone already.” Victor
says.
“What?!–” Before I can say anything else, Colt cups my face. “What happened to you!?”
He traces his fingers down my temples where I am sure there is still dry blood. We came straight here, all I had time was to put clothes on.
“It’s…a long story.”
“We’ll have time for it. We
have taken control of Oliver’s
pack.”
I look around at them and
will myself to ask the
question to which I am
scared to hear the answer.
“F–father?”
“He…is not well.” Victor
responds.
“Not well…he is alive?”
“Yes. But he is not healing as
he should. He was stabbed in
the chest and it grazed his
heart. But now the pack
doctor has noticed wolfbane
in his bloodstream. Most
likely the blade was coated with it and it is preventing him from healing. The doctor says he will make a
recovery once the wolfbane is flushed from his system
but that might take weeks or
even months. In the
meantime…” Victor stares directly at me. “You are the Alpha. He made clear of that.”
“…Me?”
I shouldn’t be shocked. This
is what father had told me.
That I am to be Alpha but
now it is real. Now it is
hitting me hard. I have led
these few men from the
arena but a whole pack and
one as big as the one we
have…that is completely
different.
“What do you wish to do?”
He asks me.
I sigh. “Rest. I am tired.”
I am tired of all of it but I
know that this is just the beginning.
“Then do that. We will
reconvene in the morning.”
“Not before you address the security in this place. We
slipped through easily.” I say.
“And I still have some men running around that
obviously have not been
caught.”
“You do?”
Kanda starts laughing. “Too
easy.”
I smile. “Go get them,
Kanda.”
“And who is this?” Victor
asks, looking at Kanda.
“A friend and an amazing
fighter. She is a werecat and part of our pack now.”
“A…were…cat?” He asks
unsure of what he is saying.
“Yeah, they are real.”
Kanda chuckles and leaves
the room accompanied by some of the pack members
so that she is not mistaken
for an enemy.
I immediately again hug Colt, melting into his arms and feeling the safety that he always makes me feel. I close my eyes as his arms engulf me and I almost fall asleep right there.
“This is not a dream, right?” I
whisper.
“No. It better not be. I’ll be
pissed.” He says.
His voice is like a sweet
baritone melody.
“Go rest, Cass. I’ll have rooms
ready for everyone so they can also rest. Let’s meet up
tomorrow morning.”
I say nothing but just nod as Colt whisks me away.
“I am never leaving your side again. Do you hear me?” He
asks.
I nod as he carries me up
some stairs. When we get to one of the rooms, he takes
me directly to the bathroom
where he starts a shower. He
helps me get out of my clothes looking carefully at my body.
“New scars?”
I nod. “I’ll tell you
everything…but not now. I just want you right now.”
It is not even s**ual for me. I
just need his presence, his warmth, his love. We get in
the shower and as the warm
water hits us, we hug.
“I missed you. I can’t be without you.” He says.
“My one goal was always to get to you. And I finally did.”
He kisses my head. “I looked for you everywhere. I didn’t
know what he had done to
you.”
We drop into a silence. I move my che*ks on his chest as I slowly look up at him. He cups my face, our noses
just inches away.
“Look at me.” He whispers.
I look into his green eyes. “I
love you. You are…my
everything. Mate bond or not, you are my life, you are my mate.” He hugs me tightly, hiding his head in between my shoulder and
hair.
He goes quiet but that is when I feel him bite my neck. I hold on to him,
pulling him closer and
sinking my own fangs into
his neck.
This is it. No more waiting.
We are now officially mates. When we pull back, we look into each other’s eyes and
kiss like we have never kissed
before. The feeling is
something like no other. The
mate bond is created and it
feels incredible. His touch
feels warm and it gives me
chills. Never have I
experienced this, not even
when I had marked him. It
can’t compare.
“Love me.” I moan.
“Mh…” He grunts. “You are
mine now. You are all mine.”
“Then take me.”
He picks me up, holding my thighs up around his waist,
and then walks out of the
shower and into the
bedroom. He lies me on the
bed with him over me, our
bodies wet and dripping on
the bed.
He kisses me and his hand slides down to my opening
that throbs with the need of
his contact. He caresses and
then his finger slips in. It makes me moan and yearn
for more. He moves his finger around and then
another finger slides in. My
mouth has to leave his
mouth so that I can breathe
and moan.
“More!” I moan out. My core
burns for him.
His hand leaves me and then
I feel his member massaging my slit, already hard. Immediately, he slithers inside easily and starts moving fast and hard.
One hand on my neck, softly holding me down and the other on my hips. His grip is
one of control as if I was
going to try and get away. Dominant, just how I like
him.
The feeling of our skin against each other is pure
pleasure. It was always good but now that we are mates, it
is so much better. I don’t
think I have ever moaned so loudly before.
He suddenly raises my legs
and rests them on his
shoulders but he stops. His
hands hold his cock. He
looks at me and slowly
enters me until he can’t go any further.
It makes me shiver.
He slides out and again, slowly goes in, looking into
my eyes as we both moan.
“Do you like that?” He asks
and I nod.
I can feel my ch*eks burn, my whole body burns, and my skin prickles. Slowly, he starts to pick up pace until soon he is pummeling into
me again.
His arms wrap around my
legs and his hands hold the
back of my neck, lifting me
closer to him as he continues
his thrusting. We are not
able to kiss because I can’t
bend that far but we are so
close that we can feel our
breaths on each other’s faces.
We both moan in tune, his
low voice and my high voice mix forming an acapelic melody that I could happily hear for the rest of my life. When we come, I loudly
moan and he grunts, it is the peak of the performance.
That night, we sleep more
than we have ever had
before. For the first time, we
feel the most rested we have
ever felt.
