70 He Should Have Bardd Y 

70 He Should Have Said Yes 

Cassandra POV 

“I don’t know if I can deal with that whiny b**ch for another month. If I didn’t need to make sure she ate and drank for the health of the pup, I’d put her to f**king sleep so I wouldn’t have to pretend I’m as pathetic as she is. I still can’t believe that Xavier chose that mutt over me.” 

“I didn’t truly want him, but I was still a better choice than that f**king she–wolf that mated with a weak human. I still don’t understand how Olivia was chosen as a guardian wolf. She is a f**king half–breed.” “Mistress, why don’t you just let me deal with Evelyn? Use a shimmer spell to turn me into a small child. She is gulible enough to trust a child without question,” Nicholas says. 

“For now, I’ll continue to deal with her, but it’s a promising idea for the future if she continues to get on my nerves. Thank you pet. Come to my room tonight, and I’ll reward your willingness to please me.” He smiles before leaving my room. Goddess, they are all so easy. It doesn’t take much to get a man to do as you please. Praise, s*x, and promises of power, and they are all ready to get on their knees to do your bidding. 

Nicholas has somewhat of an excuse because he is weak and spelled, but Xavier and William were supposed to be these strong Alphas. They were just as easy to manipulate. They both wanted different things but were 

more than willing to give me what I wanted for different reasons. Xavier wanted to be loved. Some memories 

of a childhood that never happened had him wanting to hold me close since William was a heartless ba**ard. 

William, on the other hand, wanted to use me for s*x and power. He thought I was really in love with him. 

Don’t get me wrong, the s*x was good, but he meant nothing to me. He was another pawn in my plan, and he 

actually believed I would make him king. I can only imagine the torture he endured before Xavier finally ended 

him. The only one that I couldn’t get to follow me around like a little puppy was Hudson. 

I remember the one and only time I approached him about being more than just friends before I realized that 

wolfless b**ch was his mate. I had the persuasion powder and even that couldn’t get him to give into lust. 

Flashback 

I make my way to Hudson’s office. I’ve decided if he is willing to take me as a chosen mate and make me his 

queen, I won’t have to follow through with my plan. It only makes sense that our pup will be one of 

tremendous power. I’m a powerful witch and he is a Royal Lycan. I knock on the door and push it open. 

Hudson lifts his head from his papers and smiles at me at first. Then I watch him take in my outfit and the smile quickly fades. 

“Cassandra, why are you dressed like that to come to my office,” he asks. I ignore the irritation I hear in his 

voice and shut the door behind me. I’m wearing a white silk nightgown. “I wanted to make a proposal and I 

thought you would like it.” He sits back in his chair and motions to the chairs in front of his desk. I want to round the desk and sit in his lap, but instead I take the chair he motioned to. “Hudson, I’ve been thinking. I know that Lycans can live hundreds of years before finding the mate, the goddess destined for them.” 

“I know how difficult it is to want that connection but be denied it. My beloved was a wolf who rejected me 

because I’m a witch.” I see sympathy flash in his eyes, but I ignore it. “I propose you take me as your chosen 

mate. I can bear you many children and, if we are lucky, one might be the next Queen of Werewolves. Imagine 

the power we would have. No one would dare come against us. I would be a good mate. I find you handsome 

and would enjoy pleasing you, my King.”

I go to stand intending to round the desk, but a low growl has me retaking my seat. “Hudson” I start to say, but he raises his hand to silence me. “Cassandra, you are a beautiful woman, and I’m flattered that you would even consider becoming my chosen mate, but I’ve found my fated mate. Lorraine is my mate,” he says. He 

can’t be serious. The wolfless b**ch who isn’t fit to clean his room is his mate. 

“Hudson, I’m so sorry. I can’t imagine how disappointing that must be.” His eyes darken, and I can tell his Lycan is fighting him for control. “Cassandra, I’m not disappointed at all. I already love Lorraine. If it was up to me, my mark would already be on her neck, but she is having a hard time accepting that she is fated to the King. I’m hopeful in time she will accept our bond,” he says. 

He can’t be serious. He would rather have a weak fated mate instead of a strong chosen mate. “Hudson, I 

mean no disrespect, but what will the kingdom think if you make Lorraine your queen? She doesn’t even have a wolf. Can you imagine the ridicule both of you will endure? She is fragile, Hudson.” He slams his fist down on the desk. “Enough Cassandra,” he says. 

“I consider you a friend and an ally, but nothing would ever make me go against the goddess. Lorraine is 

perfect and there will be no further discussion about her not being good enough to be queen. I would also 

appreciate it if you kept this between us until Lorraine is ready to accept our bond,” he says. “Of course, my 

king,” I say, standing ready to leave his office. Anger courses through me. How dare he accept that pathetic 

b**ch. 

I turn to leave just as the door to the office opens. Lorraine stands in the doorway looking between us. I can 

see the hurt and sadness in her eyes before she turns to leave. She doesn’t make it five steps before Hudson has her in his arms as she fights against him. “Lorraine, my love, nothing happened. Cassandra didn’t realize 

we were mates and now she does. You are the only woman I will ever want,” he says. I slip past them before I 

do something I’ll regret. He’ll pay for not choosing me. 

Flashback Ends 

Even though she refused to allow him to mark her, he was loyal to her. She at least recognized she wasn’t 

worthy of a king. It’s too bad he was so stuck on having his fated mate. We may have created the midnight 

wolf together. He wouldn’t have been weak with me by his side, but instead he refused me. 

It was then I planted the bug in Augustus’s ear. Told him how Hudson looked down on the wolves. How he felt the Lycans were superior in every way. Gave him examples of how he favored the Lycans. When I got William on board, it was easy to convince Gregory since they were like brothers. Gregory trusted William even though 

William would have betrayed him for his own gain. I chuckle to myself thinking about that ba**ard asking me 

to save him. He was no longer useful to me, so there was no need to save him from his fate. 

I will say that having the three of them at my beck and call to do my bidding made me feel even more powerful back then. Speaking of Augustus, I think it’s time he visited the Red Rose pack. I wave my hand 

appearing outside the council gates. As I approach, the guard looks concerned. “State your business witch,” 

he says. I tighten my fist at my side, fighting the urge to turn the pr*ck into a true mutt. “You can tell Augustus that Cassandra is here to see him. I have news of a threat to the council.” 

The guard’s eyes darken before they glaze over. When they return to normal, he moves to open the gate. “You 

will follow me, witch. Do not try anything, or you won’t make it out of this place alive,” he says. I fight the urge 

to roll my eyes. I could snap my finger and kill his weak a** in an instant. I follow him into the large stone building. I honestly could have just appeared in Augustus’s quarters, but his mate and I don’t get along. She believes that Augustus is an honorable man, and I’m evil. If she only knew the truth. 

70 He Should Have Said Y 

Hell, if I didn’t need Augustus to deal with the wolves so I can focus on Evelyn and the midnight wolf, I’d 

already have wiped the council out, but for now I’ll pretend he is still important to the wolf kingdorn. Now that William’s dead, I’ll tell him he can even become king once we finally eliminate Hudson. He’ll jump at the chance to finally end the mighty king. When we reach the large wooden door, the guard knocks twice before pushing it open for me.” 

When I step inside, I smile. Augustus is already on his feet and moving toward me. “Cassandra, to what do I owe this unexpected visit,” he says, reaching for my hand. “I have some interesting news to share with you.” “The guard said you were saying there is a threat to the council,” he says. 

“It seems Lorraine’s pup didn’t die with the wolfless b**ch. In fact, he is a Lycan.” His eyes darken, and he leads me over to a large couch. “Where is this Lycan” he asks. “He lives in the Red Rose pack. Up until 

recently, they believed he was human.” “Ace Morris” he says the name like a prayer. “Yes, not only has his Lycan awakened, but he and his mate have managed to convince Hudson to leave the barrier.” 

“How could he possibly get through? You yourself are the one that created the barrier to keep Hudson in. It 

was better than a quick death,” he says. “I don’t know, but something powerful had to help him move through 

the barrier because it’s still in place. We can’t let him undo all we have done, Augustus. He isn’t worthy of 

ruling over the wolves. Now that William is dead, I think you should become King. We have waited long 

enough.” “William is dead, how he asks. 

“We were trying to see exactly what Hudson and Ace knew. I was able to keep myself hidden with the 

shimmer spell but he was caught. There were to many of them to save him” I say as a tear rolls down my 

cheek. “There, there, my child. We will make this right. I will take Gregory and Omar with me to the pack. I will 

not let William’s sacrifice be in vane. It’s time we finally kill the king,” he says.
