Chapter 36: Chapter 36

**Cassie’s POV**

I am inside the bedroom and am currently breastfeeding my little one. I am humming in happiness while looking at Marion's innocent face.

He looks so sleepy. Like any young child, I cannot contain the emotions that I have.

The door was opened, and Rea entered the room. It looks like he is smiling while looking at the young child I am holding in my arms.

"I can see the bright future for our future alpha." I know that Rea served us for a very long time. And it seems like it is her joy to serve us.

I can see that he is walking straight in my direction.

"The alpha has sent a letter for you, Luna," she mentioned as she handed me the letter. My husband is so old-fashioned; well, he loves classics, as he always says.

"Thank you, Rea. You can take a rest now. Good night," I said to her. She exited with a smile.

I gently laid my baby in his crib. It looks like he is so asleep that the world is a peaceful place.

My husband became busy because of the rogues alert outside the town but lingering in our territory.

Because of that, we have a small place to hunt because it is extremely dangerous to go outside right now.

And I do not have to make a guess because I know that you know who the mastermind is who plots this terrible situation. My husband has an old, new problem again. Again and again because of that bastard. Jealousy, when consumed, is poison.

I read the letter, and it said that Kaiden could not go home now. After his paperwork and negotiations with the neighboring territories, they also have to hunt some rogues.

Those damn bloodlust monsters I am mad about their existence, but it is also inevitable for me to feel sad about them. Because those rogues are also victims of an evil scheme.

I sigh and now have to go to bed. I have to or need to sleep now. I was tired the whole day. Being material is not a plaything. This is a serious obligation. But it does not mean I felt burdened.

My son is the loveliest thing I've ever had in my life; this family is a gift I could only ever ask for.

Maybe because of my overthinking and the tiredness that I felt, darkness slowly ate me until I fell unconscious.

And I was so shocked to see that I was inside a forest. I also know that this is just a dream. But it feels so real, that's all I can say.

The forest and its land are slowly getting soaked with blood. The metallic scent of blood fills the room. The sound of the shouts of pain and growls and the war keep getting worse as I walk like they cannot see me at all.

Am I seeing the future?

I saw myself in the middle, and I was hugging my son while fighting for our lives. I can see myself using my sharp claws to cut the necks of rogues trying to harm us.

I tried to help them, but it feels like I am in such a state that I cannot touch them at all.

And then I saw my mate, Kaiden, fighting against enemies trying to bring him down. I was filled with fear as his body was marked with wounds and bruises. My heart sank in pain as I saw him slowly beating up a pile of enemies. He is outnumbered.

And I cannot help but feel fear, anger, frustration, and helplessness as I see him slowly dying.

But what makes me almost vomit on so much fear is how my mate Kaiden shielded us with his own body. His mouth slowly formed into a smile, like he had accepted his death.

My tears began to fall. "No, you can't die!" I and my reflection both shouted.

"Go... Leave this place; be happy." Why? Why is my husband so selfish? How can he leave us?

"No! Get up; we will leave this place alive! Do not dare leave me alone! I can't live without you."

"But you have to, for our son. He needs you, and please be happy without me. I am not the most perfect mate and father, but I am happy to die for the sake of your lives."

I feel like my soul has left my body as I slowly kneel on the ground. My voice is slowly fading away as I am awakened from that long nightmare. I am still crying, and my heart feels heavy.

I cannot stop my tears from falling, and now I am breaking so much and too much because of a damn dream!

"Cassie? Babe, why are you crying?" Kaiden asked me as he was spit on by the door.

I hugged him so tight tLIKE I did not want to lose him. "Please don't go. Don't leave us!" I said she was still crying like a baby.

"And where the hell will I go? I am not planning to go anywhere else. This place is my heart, you, and our son. There is no better place than here."

His voice is real. I can't stop myself from hugging him this tightly. Why? Because I am afraid that if I let him go, he will also going to fade away. I am so scared that I cannot let him go at all.

"Can you tell me what happened?" He asked me gently when he saw that I was done crying.

"I have a bad dream. I saw you die because you shielded us from the rogue's attack. It feels real like I cannot wake from the dream no matter what I do."

He sighed. "That is just a dream." "Nothing will happen because I am strong."

"But it still! You have to promise me! No matter what happens, You should never sacrifice yourself for us." I am damn serious about this thing.

"I can't promise that thing."
