Chapter 124

Lilith's POV

By morning, the scholars had finished examining the remains of the attack.

Unfortunately, they had very little to tell us.

The magic had disappeared almost completely after I destroyed it. They could confirm that it was a dark spell, but they couldn't identify who had sent it or where it had come from.

Cassian wasn't pleased.

"So someone can reach my chambers, attack my mate, and leave us with nothing to investigate?" he asked.

The scholar standing before his desk lower

  • Possessed By Him: The Alpha's Trophy   "What if They Can't?"

    Chapter 125Cassian's POVThe lower dungeon was unusually quiet when we arrived.Brandon was already waiting outside Maelis's cell. Two guards stood beside him, while another was examining the marks on the wall."Show me," I said.The guard stepped aside.There were several dark lines running across the stones beside the cell. They looked like scratches at first, but when I moved closer, I noticed that they formed a pattern."What are they?" Lilith asked."We don't know yet," Brandon replied. "The guard heard the voice coming from behind this wall."I examined the stones."Open the cell."One of the guards unlocked the door.Maelis was sitting on his bed with his hands resting on his knees. He looked up when we entered.His eyes moved from me to Lilith."Well," he said. "The King has brought his Luna to visit.""Don't start," I replied.He s

They could confirm that it was a dark spell, but they couldn't identify who had sent it or where it had come from.Cassian wasn't pleased."So someone can reach my chambers, attack my mate, and leave us with nothing to investigate?" he asked.The scholar standing before his desk lowered his head."We are still examining what remains, Your Majesty. We may be able to learn more with time.""Then take the remains to the old magic chamber. I want every scholar available working on this.""Yes, Your Majesty."The man bowed and left.Brandon was standing near the window, reading through a report."We've increased the guards around the chambers and the lower dungeon," he said. "Maelis and Morgana are being watched separately.""Good."I sat beside Cassian, looking through the notes

  • Possessed By Him: The Alpha's Trophy   The Weapon Formed

    Chapter 122Lilith POVI was lying against Cassian's chest when I began to feel sleepy.His arm was around my waist, and his fingers moved gently along my back. It had been a long day, and neither of us had said much since we returned to our chambers.For once, we weren't talking about the investigation or the attacks.I was enjoying the quiet."You're unusually quiet," Cassian said."I'm tired.""Then sleep."I looked up at him. "You make it sound so easy."He smiled and kissed my forehead. "It is. Close your eyes."I did, and he pulled me a little closer.I must have fallen asleep because the next thing I knew, I was standing in a dark place. I couldn't see much, but I could feel something approaching me.I turned to look, but there was nothing.Then I felt a strange pressure in my chest. I knew something was wrong. I tried to move away, but the feeling followed me.A faint light appeared around my hands.Before I could understand what was happening, I heard a voice."It's coming."

  • Possessed By Him: The Alpha's Trophy   "Who Gave Them The Weapons?"

    Cassian stared at the report Brandon had placed on his desk.The man they had hoped would answer their questions was dead. Someone had entered his residence, killed him, and removed whatever information he had kept about the night Cassian's father died."Whoever did this knew we were coming," Brandon said.Cassian put the report down."Did you find anything?""Not much. His study had been searched, and several documents were missing. But we found something beneath the floorboards."Brandon placed a small envelope on the desk.Cassian opened it and removed a folded piece of paper. There was a name written on it.Tobias Renn.Below the name was an address near the northern border."Do you know him?" Cassian asked.Edric Vale, who had been standing by the window, turned around."I do."Cassian looked at him."Who is he?""Tobias was a royal record keeper during your father's reign. He was also one of the few people your father trusted with sensitive information. He disappeared shortly af

  • Possessed By Him: The Alpha's Trophy   The Watchtower

    Chapter 120Cassian's POVThe first thing I noticed when we reached East Ridge was the open gate.The watchtower stood beyond it, but there were no guards at the entrance. Two torches had been knocked to the ground, and one of the wooden barriers had been broken.I dismounted."Brandon, take the eastern path with six men. Check the surrounding area. I want to know if anyone escaped through there."He nodded and signalled to the warriors.I turned to the remaining guards."Nobody enters the tower until we've checked the perimeter.""Yes, Your Majesty."Lilith dismounted beside me."Do you think they attacked the tower?""Most likely."I drew my sword and approached the entrance. The door was open, and there were signs of a struggle inside.A broken spear lay near the wall. One of the wooden benches had been overturned, and blood marked the floor.I crouched beside it."Fresh?" Lilith asked.I touched the edge of the stain."Not more than a few hours."We moved further inside.The main

  • Possessed By Him: The Alpha's Trophy   The Tower

    Chapter 118Cassian's POVWe were halfway to the East Ridge when the first signal came. Three whistles sounded from somewhere ahead. I raised my hand, and the warriors behind me stopped immediately.Brandon moved closer."That's our signal," he said. "Someone has reached the watchtower.""Or someone wants us to think they have." I looked at Lilith, she was riding beside me, her attention fixed on the narrow path ahead."Stay close," I told her."I am close.""Closer than that." She gave me a brief look but moved her horse nearer to mine.Brandon shook his head. "Can we concentrate on the people who are trying to kill us before the two of you start arguing?""Keep talking, Brandon," I replied. "I'll find you something useful to do." He gave a short laugh. Then, we continued towards the watchtower.When we reached the ridge, I saw one of our warriors lying beside the path. Two others were crouched behind a fallen tree, watching the tower.I dismounted. "What happened?"One of them stoo
