The Vampire's Mate novel Chapter One

Cassandra neatly folded her remaining clothes and put them on her luggage. She placed her hands around her waist and huffed. Cassandra glanced around and smiled. It’s going to be the last time she will sleep in here.

“Are you sure about this, Cassy?” her twin brother asked. Cassandra grabbed a pillow on the bed and threw it at him. She wiped her sweat off her face and smirked.

“You’ve asked me that question a dozen times already. I’m sure of it, Blaze. My decision is final,” she said. Blaze glare at him and picked the pillow up. Cassandra sticks her tongue out. She’s a little childish, and she knows that.

“Mom will get sad. You know that she doesn’t want you to leave,” he said. Cassandra sat down on the swivel chair she had in her room and spun it around. She pouted her lips and heaved a sigh.

“I know, but I want to go to Academia, Blaze. It’s been my dream school since we were young. I’m sure Mom will understand me,” she said. Her twin brother sighed and grabbed the wooden chair near him. He sat beside her and patted her head. Cassandra's been preparing for all her life. And now that she has finally got an official admission to join the Academia, she will not miss the chance.

“I will miss you, ugly sister of mine,” Blaze jokingly said with a smile. Cassandra mad faces and leaned on his shoulder.

“I will miss you too, my annoying big brother,” she said. Cassandra secretly wiped the tears falling from her eyes.

“Are you crying?” Blaze asked and cupped her face. Cassandra swatted away his hands and pinched him on his side.

“When you go there, make sure to stay away from any troubles. I know you, Cassandra; troubles are always going after you,” he said. Blaze was with his sister all the time. He knew her through and through. ”Don’t make me go there and leave my Alpha position here,” he added. Cassandra heartily laughed. Troubles love her as much as she loves it.

“Aye, aye, captain Blaze!” she said and saluted. Blaze glared at her and gently smacked her head.

“I’m serious, Cassy. Don’t go making troubles in there,” he said. Blaze wanted his sister to be safe. As much as he wanted to go and guard her, he couldn’t. He is now the Alpha of the pack. It’s his sworn duty and responsibility to protect his family and the pack.

“I will. Don’t worry too much, okay? I swore on Caleb’s pink underwear,” Cassandra said and laughed. Blaze also laughed along with her. Caleb is the current beta. He is the son of the previous beta and Blaze’s best bud.

“I will tell him that,” Blaze said. Cassandra glared at him and punched him in the shoulder. Caleb will surely be piss if he knew.

“Blaze, let’s go stargazing with Mom and Dad,” she said. Blaze nodded his head and stood up. If Cassandra wants it badly, he will do it.
