HER ARRANGED MARRIAGE Red dress
Chapter 017CECILIAThe knock came while I was lying on my back staring at the ceiling.Darcy answered it and came back holding a folded piece of red fabric. She looked at it, then looked at me."Cassian sent this. He wants you to wear it and come to the garden alone."I said nothing.Darcy waited."I am not going."She stared at me. "You are joking.""I am very serious."She dropped the dress on my lap and crossed her arms. "Get up. Go and wash yourself, put that on, and smell nice for your mate.""Darcy—""You need information." Her voice was firm. "You cannot get close enough to find anything hiding in this room. So get up."I looked at the ceiling.She was right. That was the only reason I was going. Information. That was all.The image of Cassian's chest flashed through my mind completely uninvited and I sat up fast and shoved it away before it could make itself comfortable.That is not why I am going."This is going to complicate things," I muttered, dragging myself to my feet.
HER ARRANGED MARRIAGE Two out of three
Chapter 016Two Out of ThreeCECILIA"Stop crying." Darcy's voice was firm but not unkind. "You knew something like this was coming. Crying over it is not going to change anything."She was right. I hated that she was always right.I wiped my face with the back of my hand and sat up straighter on the floor. My back was throbbing from the logs and the running and everything my body had been put through that morning, a deep aching soreness that had settled into my spine and shoulders and was not planning to leave anytime soon.Darcy set a plate of food in front of me.I pushed it away."Cecilia—""I am not hungry."She looked at me for a moment and then took the plate back without arguing.We sat in silence for a while. Outside the window the pack was going about its afternoon like nothing had happened in that courtyard, like I had not stood in front of all of them and been stripped down to nothing in ten seconds flat.A knock at the door broke the quiet.Darcy got up and opened it. I
HER ARRANGED MARRIAGE Is she pregnant?
CHAPTER 17Cassian walked through the palace corridors with a frown creasing his forehead. Something was wrong. Very wrong.The first maid he encountered had pressed herself against the wall as he passed, her eyes wide with what looked like fear. He had paused, confused, but she had scurried away before he could ask what was wrong.The second maid had done the same thing. Dropped her gaze, shrunk back as if he carried some contagious disease.By the third encounter, a young servant girl who had actually whimpered and fled when she saw him approaching. Cassian knew something serious had happened.What had Cecilia done now?He made his way to the training grounds, hoping to find some normalcy there. Lila was practising alone, her movements fluid as she worked through a series of strikes against a training dummy."Mind if I join you?" he called out.Lila turned, and something flickered across her face. Concern? Worry? But she smiled and gestured for him to come forward."Of course. I coul
HER ARRANGED MARRIAGE The rumors
CHAPTER 14THE RUMORSMorning came too quickly. Cecilia had barely slept, her mind replaying the scene at the fountain over and over. Cassian's words in the room. His touch. The way he had looked at her with such patience despite everything she had done.*You see what you want to see.*She pushed the memory away and dressed quickly, avoiding the bed where Cassian.By the time she reached the training grounds, the sun had barely cleared the horizon. She threw herself into drills with a fury that left her muscles screaming, but at least the physical pain drowned out everything else.Darcy found her two hours later, her beta's face tight with concern."We need to talk." Her voice was low, urgent."Not now." Cecilia blocked an imaginary opponent's strike, her movements sharp and precise."Yes, now." Darcy moved into her line of sight, forcing her to stop. "There are rumours spreading through the pack."Cecilia lowered her practice sword. "What kind of rumours?""About you and your conso
HER ARRANGED MARRIAGE The heat of jealousy
CHAPTER 16THE HEAT OF JEALOUSYCecilia stormed into their chambers and slammed the door behind her so hard the frame rattled. The sound echoed in the quiet room, but it did nothing to calm her. Her heart was hammering, her hands shaking with fury. She could still see it clearly – Lila’s fingers on Cassian’s face, the way he let her touch him, the soft way he thanked her. The image burned behind her eyes like hot coals.She paced the length of the room, boots thudding against the stone floor. Every step made her angrier. He had the nerve to sit there with her cousin, letting her tend to him like he belonged to her. Like Cecilia meant nothing.The door opened quietly behind her.Cassian stepped inside and closed it with a soft click. He didn’t speak at first. He just stood there, watching her pace, his face still calm even after the slap she had given him in front of Lila.Cecilia spun round. “You think you can play me for a fool?”He tilted his head slightly. “I don’t know what yo
HER ARRANGED MARRIAGE The first betrayal
CHAPTER 012THE FIRST BETRAYALCecilia's heart hammered against her ribs as she watched Cassian's knuckles rap against Lila's door. Once. Twice. Three times.The door opened almost immediately, as if Lila had been waiting. She was fully dressed despite the late hour, not in sleeping clothes but in a simple day dress. Her hair was loose around her shoulders, and even from this distance, Cecilia could see the soft smile that crossed her face when she saw Cassian.They spoke in voices too low for Cecilia to hear. Then Lila stepped out, closing the door quietly behind her. She gestured down the hallway, and Cassian nodded.They were leaving together at midnight in secret.Cecilia pressed herself harder against the wall as they passed, holding her breath until they turned the corner. Then she followed, keeping far enough back that they wouldn't notice her but close enough not to lose them.Her mind spun with questions, with accusations, with hurt she refused to acknowledge.
