Third person's POV

It was a beautiful sunny day and everyone gathered at the lakeside. The lakeside had been chosen on purpose. Months earlier, Nora and Rafael sat down together to talk about the kind of ceremony they actually wanted. They were finally ready to seal things between them.

They didn't want a ceremony that tradition demanded or one that protocol expected. They wanted a ceremony that was good enough for them both. And they both agreed on a quiet one rather than a royal one.

    Elena's POV I was beyond stunned by Cassian's words once again. He looked away from Kennedy and turned to me. His expression softened now. "Goodbye Elena" he said with a small nod and turned to walk away. I stood there for a few seconds, watching his disappearing back before I turned to head home.Kennedy caught up to me before I'd made it more than a few steps down the road. "Who was that," he said after a few seconds of walking in silence. His question sounded less like a question and more like a demand. I kept my eyes forward, already bracing myself for where this was headed."His name is Cassian," I said evenly. "We used to know each other back when I was staying with Nora and Rafael.""Know each other how, exactly?" He asked in a tone that told me that he disapproved of everything that had to do with Cassian. "You were talking to him like you two had history.""We were friends," I said. That was true. Cassian was just....a friend "We hadn't spoken in months, the last time I saw

    Third person's POV Kennedy had been making his way toward the market to walk Elena home himself. It was a habit he had developed without even bothering to ask her permission for it. He was approaching Elena when he saw a man standing in front of her and he paused. He recognized the man instantly from the reports circulating among warriors across the territories. There had been sketches and drawings of Cassian who was tagged as a dangerous assassin. Kennedy frowned on seeing how comfortable this man was, standing so close to Elena. He wondered what a skilled assassin like Cassian was doing here and what relationship he might possibly have with Elena. He began to approach them before any of them noticed him."Elena," Kennedy called, walking directly between her and Cassian with his shoulders squared, positioning his body as a deliberate barrier. "Get back. Now." He ordered."Kennedy, what are you doing?" Elena asked, startled by the sudden intensity in his voice. He didn't spare her

    Elena's POV"Cassian," I started, then stopped. I took a breath and tried again. "Whatever this is, between us... it can't become anything more."He didn't say anything right away. He just watched me, waiting for me to continue."I found my mate already, I'm sure you know about that," I said. "His name is Kennedy and we're probably getting married really soon."I braced myself. I expected him to argue. I expected anger, or at least some kind of protest from him. Maybe it was because I was used to Kennedy always arguing and disagreeing with me that I half expected every man to do the same. Instead, he just nodded slowly."Okay," he said. That was it. Just, okay.I blinked at him, confused by how easily he said it. "Okay?" I repeated. "That's all you have to say?" I mumbled, feeling a bit surprised by his words."What do you want me to say?" he asked, his voice gentle. "You found your mate. That's not something either of us can argue with. The bond doesn't care what I want."I stood the

    Elena's POV My mother had given me careful instructions about the wedding fabrics I needed before I left. I made my way into town that morning grateful for the excuse to walk alone a while, basket in hand, the market noise settling around me like something familiar and undemanding.I'd found the fabric easily enough at the shop near the square, the merchant wrapping the bolt carefully while chatting about the upcoming wedding season. I was making my way back through the thinning crowd toward home when a voice behind me stopped me mid-step. One I hadn't heard in months, but would have recognized anywhere."You still walk like you're trying to outrun someone." I heard that familiar voice that made my heart skip.I turned slowly, my heart doing something complicated and unwelcome in my chest as Cassian stepped out from the shadow of a narrow alley between two shops. His hands tucked in his pockets, watching me with an expression equal parts amusement and something more careful underneat

    Cassian's POVAfter what felt like forever, I finally found the countryside territory exactly where my contact had described it. According to him, this was the little village where Elena lived with her parents. I followed his directions and found the warm looking house with a chimney that matches the description. This must be where Elena lived with her parents. I was a bit skeptical of my decision. Was this really proper of me?I couldn't force myself to leave without seeing Elena. I told myself I only needed a day. One day to see her, to understand what kind of life she'd built here, before I made any decision about what came next. I sat on a hill, looking down at the house. I was properly hidden but I could clearly see the house. I sat there, waiting to see Elena.She came from the house not long after sunrise. The sight of her, after all these months, hit me harder than I expected. I couldn't tear my eyes off her as I watched her move with a woven basket looped over one arm as s

    Elena’s POVWhen I got home later that evening, I was shocked to how everywhere had been lit up and decorated. I walked closer and it looked like there was some kind of celebration going on. And of course, Kennedy was here again.Kennedy spotted me and crossed the grass quickly, taking both my hands in his, his face bright enough that I almost let myself forget the uneasy feeling I felt. "There you are," he said. "Your parents and I put this together this week. I wanted everyone to see how happy I am to be marrying you.""This is more than I expected," I said carefully, glancing past him toward my mother who near the pastry table laughing with a so much joy. "You really didn't have to do all this.""I wanted to." His smile widened, like he'd been waiting to say the next part all evening. "I had something sent over for you to wear tonight. It's laid out in your room. I think you're going to love it."He hurriedly pulled me towards my room and I just let myself go along with everything
