His words weren’t loud. They didn’t need to be. The weight in them was enough to press into her chest like a stone.

He wasn’t asking to be convinced, he was testing her. Looking for cracks in her armor, seeing if she’d squirm, lie, or fall apart like so many before her had under his scrutiny.

But Cassandra didn’t flinch. Not this time.

She took a steady breath and sat up straighter. Her hands folded loosely in her lap, though her heart thudded like a drum in her ears.

“One good reason?” she repeated, meeting his gaze squarely. “Alright. I’ll give you one.”

Her voice was soft but firm, like calm waters masking dangerous depths.

“Because unlike those thousands of people who sent in neat little resumes and followed all the proper steps, I showed up.” She paused, letting the words sink in. “I walked into the lion’s den, looked you in the eye, and asked for the job to your face.”

Darius’s expression didn’t shift, but something changed in the air around him. A slight tension. A subtle still

    When he pulled back, his voice was low, intimate. “Have fun.”But Ashera didn’t step away. Her brows drew together faintly, as if something had been weighing on her mind.“Aren’t you going to ask me what Evan said?” she asked.There was a brief pause, but Darius’s expression didn’t change. “I should,” he said honestly. “But it’s your decision to tell me. If you want to.”His answer caught her off guard. She had expected curiosity, or even a quiet demand for information. Instead, she found freedom in his response. A freedom that only made her trust him more.She smiled, her heart warming at his restraint. It told her he respected her boundaries. He didn’t see her as someone who owed him answers or explanations. He saw her as his equal.She managed a soft laugh. “You keep saying the right things. It’s kind of unfair.”“Alpha perk,

    Ashera burst out laughing. “Oh goddess, you’re ridiculous.”The two of them burst out laughing, their voices echoing warmly through the walls of the room like sunlight filtering through a storm cloud.“I’m being serious,” Nia said with a grin, swatting Ashera lightly on the arm.Ashera smirked and shook her head. “As much as I did enjoy you doing absolutely nothing, I don’t think it’s fair to demand such from Darius. He pulled whatever strings to get you a week off without telling me. The last thing I want is to take advantage of his kindness.”Nia pouted, dramatically flopping back against the chaise again. “Fair enough. But I am not going to sit in this room and spend my one-week break doing nothing. We’re going shopping.”Ashera opened her mouth to protest, but before she could form a single syllable, Nia raised a hand like a queen delivering a decree.

    She was lying on the ground, soaked and motionless. Her long hair tangled around her, her face pale. In the next photo, Darius’s driver was lifting her into a car. She looked unconscious.Evan’s stomach dropped.He knew that night.He remembered that night.It was the night Ashera caught him with Lyria. The night their relationship ended in a storm of heartbreak and betrayal. The night he wanted to forget more than anything.He had never known what happened to her afterward. He assumed she went home. That she was fine. But here, in these images, she looked devastated… and Darius had been there.Right then.At that exact moment.His fingers clenched around the paper, creasing it hard. “Where did you get these?” he asked, voice strained.Lyria didn’t answer immediately. She stepped closer, her voice low. “Evan, how did he know to show up at that exact mo

    She placed her drink gently on the glass table, the crystal clinking against its surface. Then, without a word, she rose from the couch and walked toward Evan. Her silk robe whispered softly with each step.He didn’t move.She stopped in front of him, close enough that he could smell the faint floral scent on her skin, delicate, calculated, expensive. She reached up and placed a hand around his neck, her touch surprisingly tender.Her thumb brushed against his skin, just beneath his jaw.“Baby,” Lyria said softly, her voice smoothing out like silk over glass. There was a sudden softness in her tone, almost mothering, as her fingers ghosted along Evan’s neck. “If you’re not going to be honest with yourself… if you’re going to keep turning a blind eye to everything happening around you… then I won’t.”Evan frowned, unsettled by her sudden change in energy. She had be

    Darius didn’t answer right away. His hands rested on the arms of the chair, fingers tapping lightly.“I think,” he said slowly, “that Evan has spent most of his life trying to be loved by a mother who only sees him as a pawn. That kind of child either becomes like her… or runs the opposite way.”“And which is he?”Darius met Rowan’s eyes for the first time in minutes.“I don’t know yet.”Darius sat back in his chair, his expression calm but cold. His sharp eyes didn’t leave the screen where Evan’s face had just disappeared as the feed ended.“Keep an eye on him,” Darius said quietly but firmly. “If we’re attending that council meeting, things might get heated. And I want to know exactly what they’re planning.”Rowan gave a small nod. “I’m on it,” he replied without hesitation. “I’ll hav

    “We did,” he said, stepping closer. “But I asked you to meet me again. And you didn’t show up.”“Because I didn’t need to.” Her voice didn’t shake, but it felt like her heart might. “Because I have a mate now. One I respect. And sneaking around to meet someone in secret? That’s not who I am.”Evan gave a quiet laugh, though it wasn’t joyful. “I thought so too. That’s why I didn’t come here to sneak around, Ashera. I came to talk. Out in the open. If you won’t hide to talk to me… then I won’t hide how I feel either.”She blinked.That wasn’t what she expected him to say.He took a breath, rubbing the back of his neck the way he always did when he was nervous. “I don’t want to cause problems between you and my uncle. But I can’t pretend like I don’t still feel something when I see you.”Ashera’s throat tightened. She looked at him, really looked, and saw the same man she did once trusted with everything. But he wasn’t the same either. His eyes
