Chapter 9

Aвтор: Alisha
Cassandra’s POV

I got home around noon and found the house empty. Lucian was gone.

My wolf surged to attention, every instinct screaming danger.

My phone buzzed. Unknown number. The message was short: "Want to see Lucian? Come to the rooftop. Alone."

Ice flooded my veins.

Five years with Asher had taught me to recognize his methods, and this had his fingerprints all over it.

I went to the rooftop alone.

The door rattled in the wind, hinges groaning. I pushed it open, and the world stopped.

Asher had one hand locked around Lucian's neck and a silver blade pressed to his throat. Silver—lethal to our kind. The edge had already broken skin, and blood dripped down the blade in dark red beads.

Lucian's eyes blazed gold. His wolf was fighting to shift, but the silver was spreading through his system and shutting him down.

"Cassandra." Asher's voice came out as a low growl, barely human. "If he dies, there's nothing left between us, right? No more obstacles."

His eyes burned crimson.

  • His Obsession, My Ruin   Chapter 8

    Cassandra's POVMy blood turned to ice.In that instant, all the carefully maintained calm shattered like glass, and the shards dug into my skin.Then a hand closed around mine.Warm, steady, and reassuring."Cassandra, didn't I tell you to go start the car?" Lucian's voice was eerily calm. "Why are you standing here?"My heart, suspended in midair, suddenly dropped back into place. I felt protected. I felt safe.Lucian turned to Asher, and a dangerous smile curved his lips."Oh? So it's Alpha Asher." He tightened his grip on my hand. "Stopping my woman in the middle of the night—what's that supposed to mean?"Asher's face went black in an instant.He stared at our intertwined hands, and his eyes bled red. Violent pheromones exploded into the air, threatening to tear everything apart."Say that again." Asher's voice was like gravel, like a beast ready to lunge and rip out a throat."I could say it ten times and it wouldn't change the facts." Lucian's tone was casual, but every word dre

  • His Obsession, My Ruin   Chapter 7

    Cassandra's POVThe moment the plane touched down, I felt it—that bone-deep familiarity, like I was finally back where I belonged, back in my territory.Outside the arrival gate, Lucian was leaning against a black SUV, waiting for me.Five years had changed him. His Alpha presence was more substantial now, and he carried that mature predator energy that made humans instinctively keep their distance. But when he saw me, his eyes softened the same way I remembered.Lucian Knight. My childhood friend, the boy I grew up with, and before Asher came into my life, the only man who'd ever made my heart race.In my past life, I had repeatedly rejected Asher, and Lucian was a significant part of the reason. I thought he was the mate the Moon Goddess had chosen for me.But after my rebirth, fate played a cruel joke on me—I chose Asher, and then I didn't see Lucian again for years.That changed a few months ago when he called me for the first time. "Cassandra, come back with me. Leave him."I said

  • His Obsession, My Ruin   Chapter 6

    Asher's POVI froze in place, and it felt like someone had dumped a bucket of ice water straight down my spine."What did you just say?" The words scraped out of my throat. "It was just a blood draw. How could he die from that?"On the other end of the line, the pack healer's heavy sigh hit me like a lead weight to the chest."Alpha, under normal circumstances, 3000cc wouldn't be fatal. But Ethan had been severely injured days ago—he'd been on medication just to keep his vitals stable. Yesterday's sudden blood loss... we didn't have time to—"The world went silent in that instant.Cassandra's face flashed through my mind. She'd been on her knees, her voice raw and breaking. "Asher, please. Save Ethan. He's dying..."The phone hit the floor, and the screen shattered into a spiderweb of cracks.I spun around and bolted back to Vivian's hospital room. The door flew open under my kick, and Vivian's head jerked up in terror. She probably thought I'd changed my mind about the rejection.She

  • His Obsession, My Ruin   Chapter 5

    Asher's POVI sat by Vivian's hospital bed, and my wolf was going crazy inside me.It felt like my bond had snapped somewhere, and that hollow emptiness made my Alpha instincts scream. My mind kept flashing back to yesterday afternoon—Cassandra's face at the blood donation room door, tears streaming down her cheeks.But Vivian's situation had been critical. She'd saved my life, and even if we only had a fake mate bond, I couldn't just stand there and watch her die. Besides, it was just a little blood. No one was gonna die from that. I'd even sent the pack's best healer to take care of Ethan.Ethan would be fine.After my rebirth, Cassandra's sudden change in attitude had me torn between excitement and paranoia. I was excited because I'd finally gotten what I'd been chasing across two lifetimes—my true mate's love. But I was paranoid because I couldn't tell how much of it was real and how much was fake.So I'd set up test after test.She'd passed every single one. Every reaction made my

  • His Obsession, My Ruin   Chapter 4

    Cassandra’s POVMy wolf recoiled inside me.Asher kept going, his voice cold and measured. "In our past life, I died for you in that siege, but you refused to mark me even as I took my last breath. Now in this life, you suddenly claim you love me." His eyes bore into mine. "Tell me, Cassandra—how am I supposed to believe that?"His fingers clamped down on my jaw, the pressure so brutal I could feel my bones grinding together."I took a wolfsbane bullet for you, so now I want to see exactly how far you're willing to go for me."He released me, and his gaze turned calculating. "Once I'm sure this mate bond is real, I'll claim you completely. No holding back."Then he paused, and his following words came out with a chilling indifference that made my blood run cold. "As for those two pups—if you want them so badly, you can just regenerate new ones later."Ice shot up from my feet and flooded through my entire body.My wolf howled inside me, mourning for those two lives that would never eve
