Chapter 16 Cora’s story
CA SSANDRA
I lingered outside the meeting room door for a moment, and my heart beat ferociously in my chest. Sure enough, Marley was gone, and I took this alone time to center myself.
It’d been a long time since I’d thought about the girl I’d been before the inferno.
As the years had grown by, I’d allowed her to fade away into near nothingness, but the return of Asher Collins to my life had changed that entirely. Ca ssandra Keller, my new identity, was no match for the Alpha King, and his arrival, along with the order to return to Anemond, had a chance of tearing my life to shreds.
Long ago, I’d been Cora Felix, the daughter of a Ga mma wolf named Darrin Felix. I had been born into a prestigious werewolf family, exalted in the Wegalla Empire, and the Crescent Pack in particular.
My father and my older brother, Ector, were well-respected warriors in our Pack. They were tough as nails and a major asset to the crown. After a chain of events, I was chosen to be Asher-the Alpha prince’s-mate and the future Luna of the empire. Life was perfect, wonderful even.
That is, until it all fell apart.
For reasons unknown, my father was framed and accused of committing crimes. against the Lord Beta’s family. It was claimed that my father wanted to steal the Beta’s position, and as such, he was imprisoned for his alleged crimes. Meanwhile, my brother Ector was banished to be a guard at the impoverished border.
I was taken prisoner as well, confined away, and left to die alone.
It was well-known throughout the Wegalla empire that Cora Felix had died in ant inferno, Darrin in prison, and Ector at the border. It was believed that the entire Felix family had been cursed by the Moon Goddess for their crimes against the crown.
But it wasn’t a curse.
It was a plot.
We’d all be set up.
They’d wanted me to die alone. They’d forced a poison down my throat that’d numbed my limbs and rendered me unable to move. They’d arranged the entire thing to make it seem as if it were an accident.
Even to this day, I had no idea who the killers were. They had been wearing elaborate masks when they broke into my home and set the place ablaze. As they forced their concoction down my throat, they claimed they had been empowered by the Moon Goddess and were executing me out of loyalty to their new King.
