Chapter 38: Chapter 38

**Cassie’s POV**

I am leaning on the balcony while gazing at the stars. The mountain where our pack territory is located is a beautiful place to see these stars in the sky. It feels unrealistic too because of how we can see the stars here.

And there is not a single night that I am not wishing that everything will be safe and sound. That our Luna will bless us with the peace that we want.

The war between our kind, the humans who know about our existence, and also those bloodthirsty demon rogues It feels like this war isn't something that can be stopped.

"Hey," Kaiden muttered next to my ear. Because I was in deep thought, I did not even know that he was just on my back.

"How many times should I say that you should not worry about such a thing? It would never happen."

I smiled. "I am thinking about the upcoming Alpha Meeting. I just can't imagine how peaceful our lives are now. I imagine that our lives were not like this 5 years ago.

"You are constantly being stressed by the increasing number of attacks from rogues, the fallen pack warriors that sacrifice their lives for the members of this pack, and lots of hindrances that almost took our sanity at that time."

He hugged. "Whatever happened, whatever the reason why we have this peaceful life, it does not matter. What matters is that the life that we have now is much better than what we had before."

I look into his eyes, and they say everything. That he cherishes me, our son, and this land.

I felt a sudden desire to kiss his lips. like a shining emerald that I have to capture with my lips.

I took the opportunity while leaning on this balcony. I suddenly kissed him, and I planned to make it short, gentle, and sweet.

But it looks like it is not his plan. Because he decided to deepen the kiss. It became more aggressive like he wanted to devour me and kiss me thoroughly, like I was everything to him.

I felt his touch on my battered skin as we both got naked and prepared for the next battle, and tonight the war will be held on our bed, and we will moan like we are on fire.

I suddenly felt his lips touching my neck, and his hand was now working on my breast. I can feel his warmth and hard, passionate palm running on every side and corner of my body.

He unbuckled his belt, and now I can see him again in all his glory. The color of his eyes changes again, and now I can see his semi-wolf form, and that is the effect of the full moon on us.

I can feel my body getting hot, and there is no way in hell that we can stop this thing now.

The next morning, my body was sore as hell. I cannot feel my tightness, and I remember that everything was happening so fast, but it lasted longer than I expected.

It was almost daylight when I suddenly fell unconscious. No matter how I work with my stamina, I cannot be on the level of Kaiden.

I look at the side of my bed. I saw that my man was not here anymore. There is a letter left for me. I guess this is written by my mate, and who else?

"The Alpha Meeting has been moved today; I need to leave early, and I cannot find my heart to disrupt your sleep. Last night was another great night with you. I will be back soon; do not miss me so much." Those are the words written on a piece of paper.

I hugged her in and smiled. He is so perfect.

"Mom?" My son came inside the room. It is a relief that I am wearing clothes now, or else the innocence of my son.

"Yes, my little young man?" I asked him back.

"Where is Dad?" he asked innocently.

I smiled at him and told him to come closer. I hug him so tight and kiss Marion.

"He is out for his work, but he promises to come back sooner, and your dad will bring you more meat! I promise there will be a barbecue party after he comes home."

His eyes lit up and he gave me a pinky finger promise.

"Promise."

"I promise."

Marion's face suddenly filled with sadness. I cannot help but ask him why.

"What is wrong?" I asked him, worried. "Do you feel something? Pain? Do you have a headache or tummy ache?" I asked Marion, but his face remained gloomy.

"It is not that, Mom. I am just worried because last night I dreamed, dad," he said, and he started to cry.

"I dream that he is gone. He is soaked with blood, and he fell to the ground."

I almost felt my words shake as I heard those things from my son. This cannot be happening!

Those are just dreams, right?

I cannot help but hug my son, and I buried his face on my chest. I also want to cry because I am scared as hell too.

But if I show Marion that I am scared, it will just give my son another burden. I do not wish for that. I have to do something.

"That is just a bad dream, my Marion. Did I mention before that dreams are the opposite of reality? Your dad is the alpha of this land. It means to say that he is a strong and capable leader and warrior."

And it is a relief for me to see Marion with a smile now. It seems like he forgot and splashed all those worries away. I hope I am too.

But my fear was doubled—no, tripled—because of that dream. Those stupid dreams!

But there is nothing wrong with countermeasures. I have to message my friend about this.

But everything is fine—not until we heard a loud explosion. Enough to set our territory on fire.
