SashaMy breath caught in my throat. My father was here. I didn’t expect to see him after so long. My eyes drifted to Cassian, and he inhaled sharply, his jaw tightening.“Let him in,” he ordered Ariel, who bowed her head and then started heading out. “How did he know I was here? I haven’t been here for more than forty-eight hours.” My heart was racing, and everything was spinning.“It’s okay. I will handle this. Just—”“It’s not a coincidence that he shows up minutes after I am almost killed. You know that, right?” I ask him, and he narrows his brows, looking at me.“Give me a second. Let me change” I sprang to my feet, rushing towards the closet. The pain in my hip was gone, and I felt much better.“Sasha, no. You can’t see your father!”“I am meeting him. I want to confirm something,” I insisted, pulling off the dress I was in. I wanted to confirm something about my father. Something I have long suspected, but I needed to look in his eyes while doing it.“Sasha—” he paused on the t
CassianShe hates me.She hates what I did to her. I mean, I can’t fault her for what happened, but I had hoped. For the first time in years, I felt something I never thought I could ever have. Hope.But last night, when she told me those words, I realized she had moved on; she didn’t want me. She saw what everyone had called me all these years, and I didn’t mind.When she closed that door a few minutes ago, I was certain I had made the right decision. For one last time, I let her emotions reel through me as I closed my eyes. I let them flow through me, reminding me once again I was human, but something suddenly hit me. Fear. Panic.I was about to walk towards the door when a loud explosion sounded just downstairs.Sasha.I broke into a run after her. Please let her be fine. The words kept ringing in my mind as I rushed down the hall towards the entrance. Voices crushed, overlapping with each other, but all I wanted to know was that she was fine.“Sasha!” I shouted when Xavier blocke
Sasha“What?” My eyes widened, and he placed a hand on my waist.“I thought I made it clear before. I don’t share what’s mine. And you’re mine!” he said with a finality in his voice, something dark in his eyes. I found myself drawn to it; I wanted him to mark me. Claim me. But I let him do that before, and he hurt me.Like coming out of a haze, I placed my hand on his chest, and he stiffened under my touch. “Respectfully, your grace. I don’t belong to you. Never did” My smile curved up, pushing him back, but he grabbed me by my waist, his hand reaching for my back.“No!” I shouted when he took the phone in his hands, waving it in my face. “These are bad for you.” He said, putting the phone in his pocket.“No, that’s mine! You can’t have that!” I shouted, trying to reach for the phone, and he smirked, shaking his head. “I can get you a better one.”“I don’t care. Just give it back! It’s mine.”“Alaric got it for you. I will fucking have him for this,” he growled, turning around to leav
SashaAlaric. I had forgotten about him for a minute.Rory was all up in her feelings, yelping ‘Mate! Mate’“Should you be here with me alone? What if—” My eyes drifted around the garden. He smirked, looking up at the sky. He bounced on his heels before approaching where I was standing. I stepped back, putting some distance between us.“When I heard you came back, I couldn’t believe my ears. I thought I was dreaming.” He smirks at me as I inhale sharply, nodding my head.“Listen, I don’t know what the hell is happening, but you can’t be…” I pause, then sigh heavily; I can’t even bring myself to say it. He can’t be my mate; I already have a mate. There is one person I don’t know I will ever be able to accept, but the vanilla and chocolate embers were so intoxicating.“Mate?” He gives me a sad smile before walking to the concrete bench and sitting down, his eyes roaming around the garden. A sad smile on his lips, and his eyes were empty.“You know, after that night, I thought I would ne
SashaI stood at the staircase, masking my scent as I listened to Cassian and Ravenna argue. “What did she do to him to make him so angry?” I wondered.Every time she called, he always went running, but something tells me that’s not the case anymore. I swallowed hard as she turned to face me, my eyes locking with his.“Sasha,” he whispered.“I didn’t mean to eavesdrop. I was just—” I paused, looking at Ravenna, whose face was red, her hand clenched tightly by her sides.“How did you get out of your room? I left two guards by the door,” he said, coming up to me as I pursed my lips together.“Umm… they are taking naps.”“What the fuck?” he growled, striding towards me, and I stepped back, glancing at the door. He seriously thought two guards would keep me locked up in my room. His eyes widened when he saw the guards who were out cold on the floor.“Don’t worry. They will come around in a few hours.”He shifts his attention to me, color drained from his face, eyes frozen, and lips wide a
Cassian“Our baby…we lost our baby.” I felt a sharp pang in my chest. A tear rolled down my cheek as I looked at Sasha. I should have been there with her; I should have held her tight in my arms.“Sasha,” I whispered, my voice cracking. I felt a lump forming in my throat. I never thought about what she had to endure when she was alone.She sprang to her feet, putting some distance between us while she hugged herself. Her eyes were swollen, and her face was tear-stained. “I want to go home.” I’m not asking for a lot. I just want to go home. Please, Cassian,” she pleaded, swallowing hard as I lowered my head to the ground, my limbs going numb.“I promise I will never cause any problems for you and Ravenna. I will never place any demands on our bond. Just let me—”“No.“Cassian!”I lifted my gaze to look at her, forcing myself to my feet. ‘I’m never letting you go, Little Wolf. Never again”“Cassian. I am leaving, no matter what. You can’t hold me against my will. What about your wife? D
