Chapter 32: Chapter 32

**Cassie’s POV**

AFTER finishing my business inside the comfort room. I look in the mirror, and it seems like my skin has become paler. I think that this is the effect of my pregnancy.

The doctor of this pack, none other than Mike, said to me that carrying the child of Alpha would cause me to lose too much energy and life force.

But because I am the Luna, the one who is fated to pair with the Alpha, my survival rate will be higher than normal. But it does not stop me from worrying.

I am destined to die; I know it because of Renton. He read my fate, and I know that if I make a mistake, it will take my life. The people are so important to me.

After being satisfied with how I looked, I decided to leave this bathroom. But I am almost caught up in a heart attack when someone is waiting for me here.

Aron with his innocent smile I am not a fan of such a facade. I am not someone he can easily fool with that mask he wears so often.

"It seems like you are happy now; I hope it will last for too long," he said, trying to sound as genuine as he can, but the truth is, his words cannot hide his ominous intention.

"Stop beating around the bush; say what you want," I said to him. I am not even trying to hide my hatred for him.

"You are a harsh woman; I wonder if my brother is really serious about you." He said it with a tone full of malice. I cannot help but clench my fist and look at him with a sharp glare.

"Kaiden is far better than you; keep that in mind. He will never treat me like trash the way you treat your woman," I mumbled with a warning.

He cackled as if he were not affected even a single bit. "You are way too fishy, are not you, Aron? Maybe they let their guards down because you are acting so perfectly, but no one can be deceived by your kindness without genuine intention."

He sighed, still plastering that annoying face. "I am your brother-in-law; why can't you trust me?"

"Trust is now something that should be given that easily. It should be earned, but even if you try to make an effort, I will not accept your kind of effort. Maybe you are a good puppet master; maybe you have the most powerful skill of being a marionette and manipulating the people that surround you, even the situation, but I will never fall for your scheme. If you are envious of your brother, then there is something wrong with you."

His smile suddenly fades away. Now he is showing me the true color of Aron Clark. That dark eye, his killing intent, his bloodlust But if he thinks that I can be shrugged off by that sharp glare of his, he is mistaking me for just a woman.

"You... I am telling you, happiness is not your ending," he said bashfully with those gritted teeth of his.

"With the power and authority bestowed upon me as the Luna of this pack, how dare you threaten me that way?" I growled.

I suddenly felt that pain in my stomach. His dark and devious face turns soft, and now he wears his mask again. And I know that his acting skills are activated once more.

"You should be glad that you are carrying my nephew or niece. Maybe I will spare you at this moment. Your title as a Luna will never serve as something that will save you if I wish to break your neck at this point." He sighed and left me with his wicked smile.

I am mad. I am not scared, but just plain mad.

I swear, I will make him fall to the ground until his ego is shattered into pieces. That bastard!

"Babe?" I heard his voice. And just simply listening to my mate's words calmed my raging storm in an instant.

"Babe!" I said this while walking to his place. He suddenly embraces me; maybe he can feel my emotion. I feel so down at this moment.

"Is there something happening while you are here? You look pale, and you are trembling also. Is someone trying to threaten you? Who is that bastard?" He said it with those sharp gazes like he was willing to cut someone's throat for me.

"Calm down; it is not as if someone tried to harm or threaten me. I can simply kick their asses away from this house. Maybe you should be reminded that I became a pack warrior before marrying you, Mr. Big Guy." I tried to throw a joke just to enlighten the whole thing.

"I see, then we have to go back to the living room. They are all excited about everything. I will not be surprised if they are planning our son's or daughter's 18th birthday." I cannot help but laugh at his exaggeration.

And here I am thinking that he is joking! They are planning all of these things.

"I hope I will not sound so rude, but may I excuse myself now? I want to have a rest because the baby inside of my tummy has given me so much trouble, but I know that he or she is just being energetic."

I am really tired; I can sleep for a whole decade. Imagine me dealing with my crazy parents and brothers. Then there is the psycho brother of my mate. This is killing me, without a doubt!

"Would not you go to the dining hall and let us celebrate this lovely news with food and dinner?" Dad asked me if I was clueless because they were preparing to go to the dining hall.

It was a huge relief on my side when Luna decided to explain how difficult this pregnancy cycle and process would be for me.
