For the hundredth time that day, I swiped my hands across the fabric of my dress, trying to keep them from sweating nervously.

It was no use. In just a few minutes, my hands were damp again, and still shaky.

I took a deep breath, and when I went to wipe my hands on my skirt again, Cassian grabbed hold of it, squeezed softly, then transferred it to his lap.

We were in the back seat of his car, with Max at the wheel. Today was the day we would meet up with my sister and her mate.

The air in the car was tense. Even Max had been silent for most of the ride.

I glanced at Cassian, and he gave me a reassuring look.

"It'll be alright," he murmured, brushing a thumb across the back of my hand.

"But—"

"Trust me."

I nodded, then urged myself to relax.

To take my mind off things, I glanced at Cassian, only to find him already looking at me.

If I wasn't so high-strung, I would have heated up beneath his gaze. Why did he look at me that way? Like he had to take in as much of me as possibl

  • Spirit bound by the Alpha's curse   CHAPTER 135: CASSIAN

    By the time Iris and I got to the pack house, the hall was already filled with pack members waiting for us. Since the meeting did not concern the teenagers and kids, only the adults were present. Max was standing by the podium, speaking to Cassandra. She was probably feeding him some vague psychic nonsense. He ate that shit up. The hall quietened as Iris and I entered, and the crowd's eyes fell on us. Iris's palm was slightly sweaty, a testament to her nervousness. Even after assuring her countless times that it would be fine, she still worried that the pack would hate her for bringing war to our doors. If she was at fault for the war, then so was I. Alpha Hayden was so eager to help Julietta because he couldn't wait to see my downfall. He should have picked a much stronger ally. Same with Julietta. Too bad for them.As I stepped onto the podium, Iris tried to hang back, but I tightened my grip on her hand slightly. "Come with me," I told her through our mindlink. "But I'm not.

    "Who were you talking to earlier?" I asked, as Cassian and I got home. He was absentminded, so I had to repeat the question. "Hmm?""When Lily and I were chatting," I clarified. "Who was that?" "Oh. You mean Brian? He had a few questions about the attack. And he isn't the only one with questions. The pack members are getting restless. They know war is coming, but they don't know why." "We should tell them," I said. Cassian nodded. "That's what I've been thinking of. Even if we don't reveal every single detail to them — like the curse — they deserve to know the basics." I nodded, gnawing on my lower lip as my mind starting to wander too. "I've asked Max to call a meeting at the pack house. Everyone will be there, and we can address the issue then." "When?" "In about an hour or two?" Cassian's gaze flickered down to my lips and back to my eyes. "I was thinking I could make you something to eat while we wait." I shook my head. "I'm not hungry." "Yet," he said, tugging on my a

    Cassian and I walked back home in silence. Of the two of us, I didn't know who was more angry. But mixed in with my anger was hurt, and a certain level of betrayal. I didn't even understand why I felt that way. I mean, I already knew how much of an asshole Axel was. He treated me like I barely existed, even when it turned out that we were mates. And the moment it was convenient for him, he tossed me aside like trash. I thought I'd already felt the pain of betrayal when he and Julietta tried to have me executed after everything. But I still hurt now. I almost wouldn't care so much if he had a hand in the murders, but why point a finger at me when no one even suspected him? Did he want me dead so badly? Just because he'd had the misfortune of being mated to me instead of my sister, the love of his life?I could feel the murderous intent rolling off Cassian in waves, even though he was quiet. I heard the sound of someone rushing after us a second before she called out my name. "Iris

    Cassian and I were lying in bed, our naked limbs tangled with each other. He was holding me against him tightly, his index finger tracing gentle circles on the side of my waist. We were both quiet, but the bond between us was wide open, allowing us to feel what the other was feeling and listen to any stray thoughts we might have. Cassian's mind was a chaotic mess. He was tense, happy about our mate bond being fulfilled, satisfied from the very lengthy round of love making we just had, nervous about us being expecting parents, anxious about the oncoming war, and sacred, really scared for the safety of me and our yet to be formed baby. I was anxious about the war, and a bit nervous about being a mother, but I wasn't so scared. I was convinced everything would work out fine. I was just about to distract Cassian from the cacophony in his mind by kissing him, when Max's voice sounded in my head, loud and clear. I jerked a bit in shock, then realized he had mindlinked Cassian, but sinc

    "I know it's a risk, but we don't have any other options," I was telling Cassian, who wasn't having any of it. After seeing the message Alpha Hayden sent, he dismissed Max, Barry, and Saoirse abruptly, and was now hell bent on dismissing my earlier suggestion on how best to attack Red Moon. "I'll think of something else," Cassian told me, tossing the balled up letter from Alpha Hayden into the trash and walking upstairs to his bedroom. I followed after him, still talking. "There is no "something else", or you would have thought of it already. Just admit that my plan is the best you've got." "I have no problem admitting that. It's a good plan, yes. But over my dead body will I let you go to Red Moon on your own to face who knows what! Max will go." "But Max going reduces the chances of success," I reminded him. Cassian scoffed. "Hardly. Max is a better fighter than you are. If he can't take Axel or Julietta, you can't." "Max is a better fighter, yes, but my wolf is stronger th

    The sitting room was silent for a moment while they took in the plan I suggested. Through our mindlink, Cassian said to me, "I never knew you had such a devious mind. I like it." My face reddened slightly at his praise, and I spoke back to him through the mindlink. "Do you think it's going to work?" "I don't see why not. With a little planning and tweaking, it should." Finally, Max whistled. "Remind me never to get on your bad side, Luna. That's a good plan. And what's more, your sister and her mate won't be expecting it." "I don't see how it'll work though?" Saoirse asked. "I mean...how will you get the Red Moon in time to seize it and not run into their warriors while they're on their way here?" I'd been expecting Cassian to speak up since he was more versed in matters like this, but he simply gave me a mental nudge, pushing me to go ahead. "With a small team, it should be relatively easy to stay out of sight of the marching warriors," I replied. "And if that won't be possibl
