Cassie's POV-

I stared up at the bright sun that was making me want to kill myself because on how hot it is. I groaned out and cracked my knuckle. My attention went in front of me seeing the line of people standing there stiffly. Besides me was a trainee on the floor almost knocked out.

"So who's next?" I asked. None of them bothered to raise their hands and I let out a big laugh.

"Ok you guys can spar each other, and someone take him to the infirmary." I pointed at the boy laying on the ground. They all nodded their heads and got with their partners.

I took a seat on a log and watched them spar with each other. Right now I was teaching the youths who want to become a pack warrior in the future. This is group 3 which consist of 20 students and I'm their captain. They're basically my children, the age range is 13-16. Very young, the 13 year olds had to get special permission to even get into training since they're practically babies.

"Cassie!" Arms wrapped around my neck and other small ones wrapped around my arm. I glanced at the little gremlins and sighed out.

"David and the two mice are here." I said.

"Hey we're not mice!" Quincy cried out.

"Yeah what he said!" Ariel agreed.

"Oh my bad, the three musketeers." I laughed out.

David has been adjusting very well here, and even made new friends. These three are little troublemakers I tell you. Causing mischief everywhere they go,and not only that they call me their leader. Me. Their leader of the mice's.

Who do they take me for?!

"Aren't you suppose to be in the daycare?" I questioned them. They all started to glance towards each other and I quirked up an eyebrow.

"You three, ran away from the daycare?" I asked them and stood up. They were hanging off of me very tightly.

"Listen to what we have to say!" David try to negotiate.

"Aht aht, let's go. Zander watch the youngsters while I take care of the three amigos." I ordered. Zander nodded his head and I began to drag the three children towards where the little festivities for children should be at.

They tried to negotiate with me again but I ignored them. Ever since I started training the young pack warriors they've been trying to get in on it too. Which I do not think they should just yet. They're only 7 years old, I want them to enjoy being a kid before fighting off other werewolves.

I arrived at the daycare where kids come to while the parents do their pack duties. I've been here plenty of times these days for my luna training. I've been accustomed to little devils trying to wrestle and to which I had to let them win.

"Cassies here!" Nathan yelled. Little eyes landed on me and before you know it I was swarmed around little kids. They for some reason took a great liking to the very first day I introduced myself. I do not know why, well I do know why exactly.

"My little pups!" Nyx appeared right on time with open arms. Some children stuck with me while others went to Nyx.

Ever since I became her portal, yes I said it portal not host even if I am, children automatically started to like me. It was her influence, since we became one and she's pretty much the mother of werewolves children warmed up to me. It was definitely an overwhelming experience to say the least.

Also ever since her existence became more frequent here on earth, I've been considered a main priority for safety reasons. Other packs heard about Nyx and me, so let's just say I've been getting a lot of threats or other leaders trying to use me. There was one instance where someone try to kidnap me, it ended badly since Nyx came out and nearly kill the man.

Like this crazy women took over my body!

I basically have two wolf conscience living in me, and they're both annoying. Addie and Nyx are all buddy buddy. The audacity of them I swear.

"You look tired." My mom walked towards me.

"Yes, I don't know how you do it mom." I said.

"You'll get used to it, trust me. You're changing the game, even participating in the pack meeting right besides Elliot. Usually only the alpha goes." My mom patted my back encouraging.

"It's only fair I know what's going on in other packs, especially my circumstances." I explained.

"You're right on that one since you're the odd one in all of the packs now." My mom glanced towards Nyx and all I could do was nod my head in agreement.

"Well since I brought the kids back, I'll be going back to the training grounds."I said.

"What you're leaving already?!" One of the kids grabbed my hand and I looked down only to be attacked by some puppy eyes.

"Yes I have things to do." I said as I glanced away, however all the kids began to surround me with sad eyes. I bit my lip, do not fall for it Cassie. These are little gremlins not cute adorable kids.

"You can't stay?" David asked.

I broke, I mind linked Zander to finish up the class for me. When I told them I'll be staying it's as if they were all filled with energy times 100. They literally started to attack me as if I was the final boss of a game. I was legit being chased around the little playground screaming bloody murder.

Man kids are scary.

"Cassie." Someone whispered and poked my cheek. I scrunched up my face, who is interrupting my nap time?

"Cassie wake up." They kept poking my cheek until I opened up my eyes and I sighed out.

"Hello sleepyhead." Elliot greeted me.

"When did you get here?" I asked as I started to try to remove the sleeping children in my arms. Elliot help me put the kids in their small little cots. I cracked my shoulders, I was sleeping in a very uncomfortable position.

"I got here 10 minutes ago, I was speaking to your mom before waking you up." He continued to whisper and I nodded my head.

Once we put the sleeping kids securely in their beds, we slipped out of the daycare. It was already dark outside and I checked the time. It was 7 right now, the kids took up all of my energy. I really need to eat right now or I'll become very grumpy.

"How was the meetings?" I asked him and I can see the life drain out of Elliot's face.

"Boring, I don't know how my father does this. Just 5 hours of discussing." He sighed out and let his shoulders slump a bit and I patted his back.

"Good thing I skipped this one, I would've fell asleep." I admitted.

"I wouldn't blame you if you did." Elliot wrapped his arm around my shoulder pulling me close to him.

We didn't exactly had a plan to where we were even walking. We just kept walking, letting our own feet guide us to wherever. The moon was very bright out, the streams of light passing through the trees. Once the unfamiliar path became a path I knew very well I led us to the little pond I had found. The place looks way better at night than during the day. Little light bugs flying around giving it a very mystical feeling.

I sat down first on the ground followed by Elliot. A nice comfortable silence filled the air. I took in a deep breath and leaned my head on his shoulder. My hand started to fiddle with his and he rested his head on top of mines.

"We're growing up too fast." I commented.

"Before you know it we're like 50 years old." He laughed out.

"Good thing we're werewolves, we age really slow. We could be 90 looking 60 or younger." I pointed out.

"Thank you Nyx for our existence." Elliot said and I agreed. We can live for a very long time if we stay healthy and not put our bodies in harms way.

"Isn't it crazy, that now we can sit like this. Before we tried to kill each other a lot." I laughed out thinking about the past. Who knew we would get this far, look at us. Look how we matured I'm quite proud of us.

"Right?! If we looked at each other just once there was just pure tension." Elliot added.

"I'm glad we resolved our difference. But I will admit, when you were being nice it freaked me out." Elliot sat up and gave me a look.

"Can you blame me! Did you not see the shocked all over my face?! Especially when we worked on the project!" I jabbed my finger into his shoulder and he rolled his eyes.

"Oh I know, I remember you were acting weird, so I kept doing it on purpose." He smirked. My eye twitched out in annoyance and huffed out.

"Wow I can't believe you." I snorted.

Elliot laughed and his hands grabbed my face. I notice a different type of emotion in his eyes. A look of longing but also remorse for some reason. I tilted my head to the side confused, did something happen?

"You know I never got to say sorry for acting like an ass in the beginning. I'm sorry for being a terrible person, especially on the day where I rejected you." Elliot apologized out of the blue. My eye widened and I tried to come up with words to say.

"T-Thank you for apologizing, I never thought about an apology from you." I spoke slowly.

My chest felt bubbly for some reason, well to be honest I couldn't exactly explain the feeling. Maybe extreme happiness? I don't really know, since I never really fell in love with anyone before. So it could be the feeling of love.

My hands touched Elliot's face gently and I gave him a quick kiss. His blinked multiple times and his head tilted to the side in a cute manner. A big smile crept up to my lips and I stood up from the ground. I had my hand held out for him to take.

"Let's go to my house, I'm hungry." I said.

"Sure, you want me to cook?" He asked as he grabbed my hand.

"Of course, if I cook I might burn down the place." I chuckled and pulled him up from the ground.

"You're right, I should teach you how to cook. If I'm gone for work related how will you survive?" He questioned.

"If there's a will, there's a way." I snapped my fingers and pointed it at him. Elliot shook his head and started to walk passed me not impressed. I quickly fixed myself and followed right after him.

"You can sleep over if you want." I told him. Elliot looked behind with a extremely big smile.

"Aren't you just so sweet Cassie."

"Do you want me to revoke it?"

"No, no need. We have to finish watching Mean Girls."

"Ah you're absolutely right! I totally forgot." I cried out.

"I'm always right." Elliot said confidently

"If that's what you think."

"Wow! I see how it is."

"Yeah yeah whatever let's just go, I'm hungry!"

"Ok! Ok! Hey wait for me!"

I ran down the path towards my house with Elliot hot on my tail. He caught up quickly and swiftly picked me up throwing me over his shoulder. I of course fought back but he didn't let me down at all.

"Elliot."

"Cassie."

My god this is going to be a long night I tell you, but it's ok since I love this bloke.
