Chapter 68: Chapter 68

Cassandra's POV

We sat down to eat and Wilson didn't ask me anything and I'm so thankful that we kept talking while we ate

"So you really don't have our curse?" Elinor told me

" a curse ?? "

"Cooking curse, thank the Moon Goddess for giving us Cassandra without our cooking curse," said Eleanor as she looked up at the sky and we laughed.

"How is the atmosphere in the herd? Are you used to it?" Alison asked me

“Yes, very much, everyone is great.” I answered her smiling at me

"We have to play some game soon, Kaden. It's been a while since we've played," Wilson said

"Okay, tell me when and we'll see."

"They started talking about football. Cassandra does he talk a lot about football? Because since he was young he has been obsessed with it." said Eleanor.

“I love her too. We played once.” I told her to look at me in surprise

"Look a minute, he's made a girlfriend like him, isn't that so rare," said Eleanor, looking at her mother

“What is so rare?” I asked them

“The two companions have the same inclinations because they are always against each other.” Alison said

"But we are not even the color of our wolves." Wilson told her

" This is really wonderful " said Eleanor

“Yes, it is. Your bond will be very strong,” Alison said.

Just a few seconds later, and we heard the sound of a car stopping near us. It must have stopped in front of the house.

"I forgot...I told Henry to give him our address...I could..."

"No... I don't care. Just go for it," I interrupted Wilson, standing up and heading to the front yard. I didn't look at him. I didn't need to.

I lowered my eyes to my plate, trying to distract myself

"Cassandra" Wilson called me and I turned to find him pointing at my father and another person next to him

I looked at them and let out a bitter laugh

"Wow...what a great picture" I said to them sarcastically while still sitting where I was looking

“Cassandra, we want to talk to you,” my father said

“Please,” said the woman called my mother

"I can take them back now if you don't want to talk to them but..."

Wilson said telepathically

"But I have to do this for myself"

finished his sentence

I got up from my place and went to stand in front of them. Wilson moved away from us. I know he can hear us, and his family can hear us too. It's not like I mind.

“What do you want to talk about?” I asked

“Your mother came and told me everything that happened to you, and we want to apologize.” My father spoke

"Apologies??? about anything exactly?" I asked and I'm still keeping my cool

“About everything Cassandra, we know we were bad parents to you, but we feel remorse,” said my mother

“Good, then you have feelings.” I told them, and Dad sighed

“Cassandra, please,” my father said

"I also beg you.... I ask you not to appear in my life again. It is my only request because I have never asked you for anything in my life."

"Cassandra.." My mother started begging

"Don't... you both have no idea what I've lived through all my life and it's all because of you... Do you know how much pain I've been going through from both of you??? Of course you don't because you are the two most selfish people." I said to them, feeling my tears I started to gather

"Mom.... you never gave me your love because you were only thinking of winning love from anyone because you were selfish and got me into a hell called your companion" I told her to shake her head sadly

“And you… I’m not used to my father saying because I don’t remember having time to call that… Do you know when I was charged and ran away to where I went first?? It was for your flock I went hoping someone called my father would help me You were my last hope But guess who met me??.....She's your girlfriend. She could figure out who I was and she wasn't happy about it. She told me something and she was right about it. Something I've been trying to ignore my whole life .

"She said 'You're a mistake your father and your mother have made, you're a mistake that shouldn't have been' She was right I'm wrong" I said, feeling my heart aching so much, it was as if a knife went through it.

I needed Wilson and his hug but I have to do this on my own and he knows that so he didn't come close

"I knew it....but all these years I've been convincing myself that I'm not wrong...I've been trying to love myself....I've been trying to protect myself since I was a kid...A kid that needs protection from others. But she was protecting herself, because she knew very well that there was no one to protect her, and the two people who should protect her consider it a mistake they want to erase.” I told them screaming it was painful

"No, Cassandra, you are not." my mother said

“No, I am… But do you know what from now on I will give my life to one person… Someone I have run from over and over again but he has not abandoned me not even once… Someone who knows my value and knows that I deserve all the love and protection and who knows that I am not wrong but girl with broken feelings I said while wiping my tears and pointing at Wilson

“I… really… tired… so don’t appear in front of me again just go on with your life as before without remembering your mistake… consider that I am dead and your mistake has been successfully eliminated.” I told them I looked at my mother's belly because of get pregnant

"Also... I just have a request. Don't make him feel like it's wrong because it hurts like hell. Give him all the love you never gave me... Don't destroy another soul because mine is enough, goodbye" I told them to turn around and leave them behind and start walking

Do you know what real power is??

It is to say goodbye to all the things that hurt you and not turn around, that is the real strength

I kept walking until I reached my goal. Wilson hugged me tightly

" Well done " Wilson whispered over my head

I tried to hold back the tears that wanted to fall again, so I turned away from Wilson to look at him and smile. I know my eyes are still red from crying a while ago.

“I will love myself more from now on.” I told him after I felt that a heavy burden had been lifted from me

“I will love you more, too,” Wilson said, laughing

"Why would you love myself, you have yourself, love her" I said

"No need, my love, I'll give it all to you, I don't need it." He said, "Let's laugh together. "

"I'm really serious about it," he said, approaching me and looking at my lips. I know he wanted to kiss me. I smiled at him before I closed my eyes.

I remembered his family is still here and looking at us I pushed him away quickly

“My lovebirds are still here as you can see,” said Eleanor, turning away from Wilson to go back to the party

“We are wolves, not birds, as you know.” I told her to laugh

"Why did you push me? What about my kiss?" I opened my eyes in shock as I looked at him in front of his family saying something like this, his parents are here too

"What's wrong with you, stop." I told him, turning around shyly, that it was embarrassing

"What's wrong with me? I feel betrayed now."

"Stop teasing my daughter or I'll teach you a lesson," William said to him

“I am your son, if you forget that,” Wilson told them

"I forgot, I don't remember that I have a son from now on I have two daughters, the first is Eleanor and the second Cassandra, we're done," he said smiling at him.

"You're my mom... you won't be like my dad, right?" Wilson told her

"Of course... I'll be like your father, we don't have a son ," she said, looking at them, Wilson sighed, resigning himself to sitting next to me.

"Kayden, is there room in your family for them to adopt?"

"I can replace you with my crazy brother Daniel, I'll be happy about that" Kayden said to him and let's start laughing

I watched everyone happy

It's my family.... I really belong to this family.... My rightful place is here and nowhere else.

The next day

"Here it's going to be your second home. Anytime you can come over here and if Wilson bothers you, just tell us," my mom Alison told me.

“Yes, we are here.” William agreed

“Really thank you,” I told them

"Okay, can we go now?" Wilson, who is standing next to us in front of the car, spoke

"Yes" I told him to turn around and get in the car. I left him to say goodbye to his parents before he got on next to me and we drove off.

"You have a wonderful family, Wilson," I told him

"We have... it's your family now, didn't you see them they kicked me out for you" he told me to laugh

" do you feel jealous ??"

“Never, but happy about it,” he said while holding my hand to lift it and kiss it

“Anything for me is yours and that guarantees my father and my sister too.” He told me to lower my head and smile

"You are not wrong... you have never been... and you never will be... you are the most beautiful and the best gift I have ever received from the moon goddess... a gift that I'm late to find," Wilson said as he squeezed my hand and I smiled at his words.

" So...Wilson I told you my life from now on" I told him

“I know... and I will take care of her more than myself,” he told me

We continued driving for a while until the entrance way to the herd appeared to me for

only a few minutes and we would be in the herd

Suddenly Wilson slammed the brakes to a quick stop and before I could act or ask anything I found Wilson wrapping his hands around me making me bend.

Only seconds, and I heard the sound of glass breaking as if it were shots, to understand the matter, we are now being attacked

Just seconds and the sound stops, Wilson turns away from me to pick me up and starts checking me out

" Are you well ?" He asked me worried and still checking me

"I think...and you???" I ate it after I got ready

"Alpha Luna, are you okay?" I heard the voice of one of the warriors I looked up to find that they had surrounded our car as a form of protection

"Run to the north, and hunt there," Wilson commanded them to go, and there were only two warriors left.

I saw Wilson getting out of the car and heading towards me. I was going to unbuckle his seat belt to get out, and as soon as I moved my hand I moaned. Didn't I look at the source for a scratch on my right hand?

Just seconds and opened the door Wilson looked at my hand and his eyes were clouded by blackness that he was angry and afraid and worried his wolf would come out any moment he approached and opened my seat belt and got me out of the car sat on the ground and put me in his lap to bury his face in my neck as if trying to calm I raised my left hand to surround his head to reassure him

“You got hurt,” he said, tightening his hands around me

My hand went to his back but I stopped as soon as my hand touched something sticky I raised my hand to see it was blood

"Wilson, you're bleeding," I told him, trying not to panic. I tried to look at his back to find it was some kind of bullet

"Luna, are you ok?" I heard Charlotte's voice asking me and some other therapists. As I got close, Wilson let out a mighty wolf roar that made her stop and not move.

Now he's still afraid and his wolf makes him refuse anyone who comes near me

"Wilson.. they're trying to help us," I told him, trying to push him away so they could see his wound, but he didn't move.

"Wilson, I'm fine, so please let them come close to help us," I said, holding his face and looking him in the eyes for just a few seconds, and the darkness began to disappear.

“Treat Luna’s wound,”   Wilson commanded

"It's just a scratch, the alpha has a bullet in the back and I'm afraid it's a silver bullet because it's dangerous to stay there," I said as I turned away from Wilson and looked at Charlotte.

"I'm fine, it's just a bullet. Let me get out of here," said Wilson, who was trying to get out of the hospital room

"No, the bullet won't get out of here. It was silver, and the silver has spread throughout your body. Now you need to rest so that your body can expel it ."

We heard a knock on the door to let me in. I saw Henry enter

" Are you well ??" ask him

"Very, but she won't let me out." He told him to look at me

“Well, hold him tighter, because none of us can do that but you.” He told me to smile at him

"Yes, I will."

"What did you do? Did you catch something?"

“As you said, Crescent Blood Flock,” Henry answered

“I think I went too far with him so he dared to attack us,” said Wilson

"What do you want us to do? Do we attack? Do we threaten?"

"I want his reason, I want to know what makes him do this."

"I'll try to contact him or negotiate with him to find out, but if that doesn't work..."
