67 ck hearted Cassidy …

Ramsey

I opened the door of my bedroom , finally letting the fa?ade of smiles I’d had on my face all day .

I’ve juste from my grandfather’s ward in the pack hospital , he’s doing well at least .

Although he’s still unconscious which the doctors said was due to the deep bites from the Ferals and the heavy treatment done on him afterwards but he’ll be awake soon .

As I entered my room , the sight of Cassidy pacing near my window made my blood boil with frustration .

As if living every day with her in the same packhouse wasn’t torture enough .

I wasn’t in the mood to deal with anyone now especially not her .

I crossed the room without acknowledging her as I began to undress .

I started with the buttons of my shirt , though they felt particrly stubborn tonight .

Finally , I slipped out of the shirt , tossing it onto a nearby chair .

“ Ramsey ,” she finally spoke .

“ How is your grandfather ? I tried to visit him earlier but they wouldn’t let me in .

”

I moved towards the dresser and busied myself with removing my rings and cing them carefully on the ring te .

I picked up my discarded shirt and threw it into theundry bin , putting enough distance between me and her .

Anything to make sure she doesn’te close .

“ Ramsey ? ” she queried .

“ I asked the hospital staff and the guards on duty outside his ward not to entertain any visitor , I said tly .

“ At least until he’s recovered .

He’s not in the best shape right now .

It’s better if people don’t see him like that .

“ Sure ! ” Cassidy nodded “ I understand .

“ And what of you ? How are you holding up ? I heard that Alpha Logan died .

”

“ I’m fine ! ” I said with a clipped tone ” A lot of people died that day , Cassidy .

Alpha Logan was just

one of them .

”

As I talked , I busied myself with arranging my things hoping she would take the initiative and leave .

We both fell silent before she cleared her throat and turned to me .

I could feel iting – the conversation I’d been avoiding for months .

“ When are we going to get married , Ramsey ? ” she asked with a level of gentleness that had never been associated with her .

“ It’s been four years already .

Two more years have passed since the Moon Priest said we were unfit to be Joined .

I am now 25 years old , I’m not getting any

younger .

”

I fought the urge to roll my eyes as I walked towards my bed , arranging the items on the side .

table .

Thest thing I wanted to talk about right now was our marriage .

“ I’m not in the mood for marriage talks right now .

Plus , wouldn’t it be inappropriate to discuss a

wedding ceremony now when the entire country is in chaos ? ”

“ No , it wouldn’t ,” she said fiercely moving close to me .

“ Our marriage would give the people hope ! It would show them that you’re in control of the White Moon Throne and that it can protect them .

The people are losing faith after so many deaths in one day .

They need this … need to see that things are stable at leadership .

”

I turned to her , trying to mp down on my anger .

“ You think I don’t know that ? I don’t just have the emotional capacity to think about a wedding right now ! ”

She grabbed my arm , her touch making my skin crawl .

I fought the urge to shake her off .

“ Then get me pregnant , ” she blurted .

“ My heat is in five days , Ramsey .

You could get me pregnant

that I am still in my fertile years and at least while we’re still waiting for you to decide on the wedding .

”

ΠΟΥ

“ You’re being paranoid again , Cass , I closed my eyes letting out a long sigh .

“ Having a baby is a big deal .

This is not the first time you’re bringing this up .

I am not ready to be a father .

There’s so much on my te and … ”

“ So much on your te ? ” she shrieked interrupting me .

“ Me ? Paranoid ? ” Don’t I have every right to be ? “ We’ve been engaged for four solid years , excluding the years we were betrothed before we made our engagement official .

And what have I gotten in return ? You won’t even mark me .

You won’t share my bed constantly with me .

You won’t even look at me ! ”

“ I cannot go around marking women , Cassidy .

You agreed that the mark wouldeter .

Someone else has my mark on her .

I don’t want to confuse my wolf .

”

“ Oh please ! ” she snapped .

“ That’s the most ridiculous excuse I’ve ever heard .

You told me you rejected her and that she epted your rejection .

Did you forget ? ”

I ran a hand through my hair .

“ I did , but … ”

“ But what ? ” she asked , tears brimming in her eyes .

“ You go around , fucking all those damn Omegas and whores , wasting all of your time looking for that wretched deviant … ” 1

“ She’s not wretched ! ” I exploded , crossing the room and pinning her with my gaze .

“ I’ve warned you about calling her names .

Stop it ! ”

Cassidy scoffed , a tear rolling down her cheek .

“ You’re making me miserable , Ramsey ” she said .

softly .

“ Every waking moment that I’ve spent with you has been filled with nothing else but misery .

Just give me a baby , so I can upy my days while you do whatever you please .

”

I turned away from her , walking back to the dresser .

“ I’m sorry ! ” I sighed .

“ I’m trying my best to please you .

”

“ You’re not even trying , Ramsey , she came towards me .

“ You don’t try … you’ve never tried .

We go weeks without talking to each other .

The only time youe to me is when there’s an itch in your crotch and there’s no way to satisfy it .

Is this about the phone incident ? ”

“ Don’t start , Cass ! ” I raised my hand to stop her but she continued .

“ I told you , I’m sorry .

It slipped from my hands .

I didn’t mean to break it .

It’s not my fault .

”

believe that was an ident ? You knew the information on that phone would have helped me find her .

I was this close to finding , L , Cassidy .

I wasn’t going to bring her to be my Luna … far from that .

.

but you ruined it for me because once your mind is set on something , the

whole world can burn

“ I guess we’re alike in so many ways than we care to admit ! ” she shook my hands on her shoulders .

“ You want , L and I want you .

”

Her tears were falling freely now , but there was a coldness in her gaze … I couldn’t understand how she could still be cold and emotional at the same time .

I

“ You do not understand what it means to have a mate , I continued my voice tight with emotion .

“ The bond … it’s like nothing else .

“ I’ve tried to stay away from her severally but I cannot .

I wish you can understand that

“ Yes ,” she shrugged .

“ I don’t understand what it means to have a mate and I don’t want to understand .

You best stop pining over that girl .

Your duty is to our world – all the packs in our world look up to you , Ramsey Kincaid .

Thousands and millions of lives are in your care .

You cannot act like a fool because of some stupid mate bond … you hate the Moon Goddess , for fuck’s sake … why do you ept this bond ? ”

“ You do not understand ,” I muttered .

“ After your grandfather recovers , we’ll have our wedding .

You owe me that much .

”

“ And if I refuse ? ” I fired back , walking up to her .

“ Your 3

run to my grandfather ? Or maybe you’ll

leak to the entire country that video of me and my mate doing what mates do best .

Or You’d tell everyone that I locked up the Alpha heir of Blue Ridge Pack because I was pining for my mate and had to use pack resources on Panthers because I was so desperate to find her ? ”

Cassidy’s lips curled into a cruel smile as she moved closer to me .

“ Those are powerful arsenals in my warehouse that wille into use at the right time .

I won’t threaten you with that , Ramsey … I think I’m a bit tired of that .

But you should know … ” she paused reaching up to touch my face but I caught her wrist before she could make contact .

She smiled and continued speaking .

“ The thing is , I know where your little mate lives in the human world .

I saw the text between her and the Alpha heir before I threw the phone from the third floor and asked the maids to grind every piece into fine dust .

”

She twisted her wrist free from my grip , straightening her dress .

“ Five days , Ramsey .

When my heates , you’ll do your duty .

You’ll fuck me like you mean it , and put a baby inside of me or else … ”

“ Where is she ? ” I breathed , wrapping my hand around her neck .

“ Imand you to tell me ? ”

“ No , my love ! ” she chuckled .

“ I’m winning a game your started .

You chose to chase after your mate instead of honoring our engagement despite all my warnings .

You chose to waste pack resources searching for her .

You chose to imprison Nathan Tanner for four years because of a deviant .

Every move you’ve made has given me more ammunition .

”

“ You’re ying a dangerous game , Cassidy ,” I snarled .

“ Reino with our is dangerous ” She winked and took a sten hackward I’ll kill her Ramsey and

you’ll never get the chance to see her again .

Ever .

So , try me .

You know what kind of person I am My heart is ck and you have no idea how far I’m willing to go to get what I want .
