Trista's POV

It was 2:30 AM when my IV finally ran dry.

Cassian hit the call button for the healer, and only then did I force my heavy eyelids open.

When he instinctively reached out to help press the cotton ball over the injection site, I shifted my weight, coldly dodging his touch. I held it down myself, watching the tiny bead of blood soak into the cotton.

Cassian froze, his body stooped awkwardly over the bed. Those massive hands—hands that controlled an entire territory—hung uselessly in m

    Trista's POVCassian didn't answer. He just tightened his grip, pulling me even harder against him.I knew him too well. As the ruler of this territory, even if I wanted to leave, he would never let go—not willingly.We were stuck in this loop, and the conversation had reached its dead end.Inside the quiet room, Cassian held me in silence.I let him. I didn't struggle, I didn't scream, and I didn't shed a single tear. I'd moved past that.I realized tonight that the reason he was refusing to break the mating, the reason he wouldn't give Samantha a title, was actually to protect her.He knew Howard's ruthless streaks better than anyone and was terrified of the old man's next move.Samantha's "life-saving" act back in college gave her a permanent saint-like filter in his eyes.Add to that six years of wandering and a son who carried his "bloodline," and he was drowning in guilt.But even all that weight wasn't enough to make him blow up his life for them. It meant Samantha didn't have

    Trista's POVIt was 2:30 AM when my IV finally ran dry.Cassian hit the call button for the healer, and only then did I force my heavy eyelids open.When he instinctively reached out to help press the cotton ball over the injection site, I shifted my weight, coldly dodging his touch. I held it down myself, watching the tiny bead of blood soak into the cotton.Cassian froze, his body stooped awkwardly over the bed. Those massive hands—hands that controlled an entire territory—hung uselessly in mid-air.He looked at me, his deep, dark eyes searching mine. His Adam's apple bobbed as he struggled to force a sentence out of his dry throat."Does it still hurt?" he whispered.The second the words were out, I felt his pheromones spike.He was drowning in guilt.He knew better than anyone what a pack-whip did to a person; he'd taken those hits himself and knew they were enough to break a warrior. For someone like me, it was agonizing.But to my ears, his question sounded pathetic. Empty.I st

    Third Person's POVTrista's back had been shredded by a ritual whip soaked in wolfsbane, and she had spent the entire night kneeling in the wake of that agonizing torture.Every drop of color had drained from her face, and her very bones were vibrating from sheer exhaustion.She slowly lifted her heavy eyelids. Her gaze flickered past the two men and finally landed on Cassian.Those eyes, which used to be filled with nothing but him, were now a wasteland of gray ash. Not a single spark remained.Her bloodless lips parted, and her voice was a ghostly whisper. "I'm fine... Just go. Go take care of her."Cassian felt an invisible hand crush his heart. A wave of suffocating nausea hit him so hard that his hand—the one reaching for her—froze mid-air. He couldn't move another inch.Trista then turned to Fred. Her lips trembled, but before she could say a word, her eyes welled up with hot tears.Fred scooped her up with infinite care. "Trista, listen to me," he said, his voice hard as flint.

    Third Person's POVSamantha's wretched wailing eventually managed to suppress Cassian's rampaging Alpha instincts, allowing his fractured sanity to slowly piece itself back together.She was right—Alaina was still inside. As long as his mother was there, Trista, as the Luna, wouldn't face any life-threatening danger.To ensure the situation didn't escalate further, his priority was to get Samantha—the center of this storm—away from the estate.Cassian leaned down to help the weakened Samantha up, his voice muffled and heavy. "Let's go. I'll take you back first."Cassian drove personally, dropping Samantha off at the curb of her apartment building.Samantha noticed that while Cassian killed the engine, he made no move to get out and walk her in. Her eyes dimmed with disappointment as she hesitantly unbuckled her seatbelt.Placing a slender hand on the door handle, she turned her head to look at Cassian's profile, which was half-hidden in the shadows."Cassian," she began, "tonight was

    Third Person's POVCassian lunged toward Howard, violently pulling Trista up from the cold floor. A volatile, suffocating Alpha aura radiated from him."Grandfather," his voice was a raw rasp that left no room for argument. "I am protecting Samantha and Algernon, period. But if you think I'm dissolving my mating with Trista, you're dead wrong. It's not happening."Alaina stood nearby, her eyes frozen over with disdain. "If you insist on playing savior to that rogue and her brat, you must break the mating. You don't get both.""Mom!" Cassian lost it, a strangled roar escaping his throat.Samantha shrunk into the shadows, her head bowed in humiliation.She knew exactly what was happening. Cassian was only acting this protective because he felt he owed her—he didn't want Howard to finish her off like he tried to six years ago.But it was also clear as day that Cassian had developed a desperate, clawing attachment to Trista. Even with his entire family hunting him down, he refused to let

    Third Person's POVWatching Trista kneel before Howard, begging for him and Samantha to be together, Cassian felt like someone had slammed a sledgehammer into his chest. He was suffocating.He lunged forward, grabbing Trista's slender arm with a frantic grip. "Trista, get up!" he roared, his voice cracking with desperation. "What the hell is wrong with you? Stop this insanity!"But Trista didn't flinch. Instead, she reached back and gripped his cold hand.Her eyes held a look of finality that terrified him."Cassian, help me ask Grandfather," she pleaded, her voice thick with fake desperation. "For the sake of the child, I'm sure he'll agree. You two deserve to be together—officially."As they stared at each other in the heavy silence, Cassian felt a physical tearing sensation in his chest. It was the mating bond, screaming.Alaina watched the scene unfold in silence. Her eyes drifted from her son's panicked face to Samantha's calculated fear, and finally to Trista's dead, empty eyes.
