Cassian dropped everything he was holding and immediately wrapped his arms around me, pulling me tightly to him. I held on just as tightly, not wanting to let go for even one second.

I was wheezing and gasping, and shaking again. These weren't soft, pretty tears, but tears of anger, guilt, confusion, and most of all, disgust.

Disgust at myself.

Cassian hoisted me up so I could wrap my legs around his waist, and I did. Then, he tried to walk off into the forest to give me some privacy while I broke down. I only held on to him tighter and shook my head, signalling that I didn't want to go.

I didn't want to hide away the monster that so brutally killed a woman who was friends with my own friend.

Saoirse and Barry discreetly looked away, but at least they could hear me.

"I'm sorry," I cried. "I swear, I am. I don't know what came over me! I don't—"

I was hyperventilating, barely able to breathe and talk at the same time.

Cassian tried to soothe and shush me, encouraging me to breat

  • Spirit bound by the Alpha's curse   CHAPTER 115

    I'd always been a light sleeper, but that night, I slept with one eye cracked open in case the witches tried to use one of their cloaking spells to get past me. Who knows what they would do? They could try to take Iris away from me, or worse. I could still remember the panic I felt when I saw those men try to pull Iris away from me. I would have done worse to them than just toss them aside if I hadn't been making a conscious decision to not hurt them. Our packs had been taken and searched, but we were not searched. A mistake on their part since Iris's cold iron dagger was now in my hand, unsheathed and ready to end the life of the first person to try something stupid. If I hadn't been half awake already, I would have missed the door opening completely silently. There was no one there, and no sound. Which meant someone was there, with a cloaking spell. And they were coming right for Iris and I. I clutched the dagger tightly, ready to strike out, when Saoirse suddenly materializ

    CASSIANIris and I were cuddled up on the tiny bed that night when Saoirse arrived. She knocked once on the door, then unlocked it and stepped inside hurriedly, as if she was sneaking in. I sat up, waking Iris up in the process. Her eyes widened when she saw Saoirse, and she staggered out of bed. "You're alright!" To my surprise, Saoirse let Iris hug her. I thought she was still pissed off about the incident with Rosa. "I'm alright," Saoirse repeated. "They told me about the prophecy I gave." "They told you?" Iris asked, sounding incredulous. "You didn't remember?" Saoirse shook her head. "I don't remember anything about it. It's the first time it's ever happened to me. Normally, I had visions. But this..." "What was that? Were you...possessed or something?" Saoirse nodded. "Or something. My grandmother said it was the spirits of some of the greatest seers. Sometimes, when they want to pass an important message, they do it through a seer, like me." "It looked more like they

    Cassian and I were silent as we were both led to the room we would be staying in. After what happened with Saoirse at the town hall, no one would give us any answers. They'd just herded us away while the Coven Master ordered that Saoirse be carried out. I was worried, to say the least. The room we got to was small, with dirt walls, and a single bed in the corner. Cassian raised an eyebrow as he looked around. The witches who escorted us here stopped at the door. One of them glared at us. "Do not try to leave. The consequences will be severe." They shut the door behind them, and we heard the lock click.As if that could truly hold us in."Well," I said. "This is cozy." It was a little more than a cell. But at least it had a bed with sheets. Cassian was quiet. He walked to the window and looked outside. I collapsed on the bed, groaning. "What do you think will happen to Saoirse and Barry," I asked softly. "They'll be fine. It's us we should be worried about. The whole bizarr

    The hall was chaos, meanwhile, the only thing I could think of was "what the hell just happened?" I stared at Cassian, who was staring at me like he also didn't know what the heck was going on. The witches were rallying, shouting for revenge. Saoirse was just as dumbfounded as we were. Did the Coven Master just... What?She didn't mean that, did she? That Cassian — no, Wrath — was the reason the witches had to go into hiding? He caused the ban on sorcery? But how?I tried to speak up, and so did Saoirse. No one listened to us."Wait!" I shouted. "Hear us out. We don't know what you're talking about. Cassian isn't like that!""Coven Master, please calm them down," Saoirse begged. "Cassian would never do something like that." Cassian wouldn't, but Wrath absolutely would. They didn't need to know that though. "Throw him in the cells!" Someone from the crowd yelled. "Yeah!" Came the reply. Soon, they had all picked up the chant. "Cells! Cells! Cells!" But no one actually did any

    I definitely did not feel good about going to meet this "Coven Master". It was obvious he was the real power here. What if he decided not to hear us out at all and just ordered us to be tossed out of the settlement? Or worse...Also, when I first arrived at Silver Creek, I thought the stares I'd been getting were a lot. They were nothing compared to the stares we were getting now. The settlement looked very similar to a small pack. Houses lined the street, and as we walked past, people stopped what they were doing to stare. It was like they already knew, without anyone having to tell them, that we were wolves. How could they tell? It also felt like the looks I was getting were more intense than the others. I realized it was probably because Cassian was carrying me like I was an invalid. My fave reddened. "Put me down," I said lowly. "What?" Cassian gave me an incredulous look. "You can't walk." "I can manage," I hissed. "Put me down." Saying no more, he set me on my feet, and

    I didn't know when we passed the settlement borders, or if they even had borders. All I knew was that one moment, we were walking — or they were walking while I was in Cassian's arms — and the next, two men flickered into existence right in front of us. Cloaking spell. The men were shirtless, carrying roughly hewn spears. They were also obviously hostile. The butts of their spears were firm against the ground, the tips pointing at us, keeping us from coming any closer. Cassian's arms tightened around me.Looks like we found the witches. "Stop right there!" One of the men barked. "Werewolves. What do you want from us?" Saoirse stepped forward. "I brought them here. They need our help." The men gave her a look of disdain."You. I should have known you would be nothing but trouble. Did one of your visions tell you to do this? Putting the whole village in danger just because—""They're not here to hurt anyone," she cut in. "I swear. Please, just let them in.""Over my dead body," t
