SashaI groan, trying to move when I open my eyes. The sun shining through the curtains jolted me awake. My room doesn’t have light coming through it every morning. “Hello, little wolf. You’re finally awake,” Cassian’s voice comes, startling me as I look around the familiar room. “What have you done?” I ask. My eyes roam around the room. My old room in his castle.He gets off the chair. “I didn’t change anything. I didn’t know if you would—”“How could you!” I ask, my voice cracking as I get off the bed. My legs give in as I look up at him. “How long… How…”“I’m sorry, Sasha. I had to do the only thing I know to do.”“Take things by force? Wasn’t I fucking clear I didn’t want to come back to this hellhole?” I growl, getting up from the floor. “I’m sorry. I know you didn’t want to come, but I can’t protect you there while I am here.”“Protect me? If there’s anything I need protection from, it’s you!” I grab the lamp, hurl it at him, and he dodges. “Sasha. Calm down,” he raises his
Sasha“You want to talk to me. I will listen to everything you want to say. Just let him go,” I demand, and he swallows hard, nodding his head before stepping back. He drops Isaiah to the ground, and a thud comes. He chuckles dryly at his face, hard, and his eyes darken as night. He blinks, then they come back to those hazel-green eyes that I used to love.“Serena,” Isaiah tries to touch me, but I step away from him. “I’m fine, Isaiah. Penny, help him get a healer. I will come and check on him,” I instruct Penny, then start making my way out of the training ground first. I can hear his heart thumping behind and his footsteps thudding.I led him to my car and unlocked it. “Get it!” I demand, and he gets in the driver’s seat. “Sasha,” His voice came barely a whisper.“Not now, Cassian,” I whisper, focusing on the road. He doesn’t respond and keeps quiet. When we get to my house, I get out of the car first, then walk into my house.“Sasha”“Look around this room, Cassian,” I say as he s
Cassian“Where are you coming from?” Ravenna asks when I get back to the suite we are staying in while here. “Were you with her?” “I don’t think I owe you any fucking explanation, Raven,” I growl, making my way towards my room. I can’t believe she left me back there; I could see the pain in her eyes and hear it in every word she said.“Cassian”“She is my mate, Raven. I doubt you know anything about that, considering how you—” I paused, my chest rising and falling as I spun on my heel to face her. “Last night, what you did. That will be the last time,” I said, my voice carrying a warning tone as I let out a frustrated sigh and got into my room. I needed to find a way to make her come back with me. If she thought I could leave her here, then she must not know me at all, but first, I had meetings to deal with.The next day, I was up by six, had my breakfast, and made my way to her shop, but it was not open yet. When I asked the woman, she told me she took days off.“Alpha King.” He bo
SashaMy heart is thumping so hard, even as I make my way towards the pack house. I have an idea why the alpha wants to speak to me. What if he asks me to leave? I ask myself inwardly.I pull on my cardigan, putting on a straight face. “She is his mate. That’s what I hear,” whispers and murmurs fill my ears as I walk up the staircase.When I make it to his office, I knock twice, waiting for him to answer.“Yes,” his voice echoes as I push the door open, entering. He is sitting behind his dark Oakwood desk, pen in hand, while he scribbles something on the paper. Luna Elsie stands by his side.“Oh Serena. You are here. Please take a seat.” He gestures for me, and I purse my lips together, making my way towards the couch.“Luna. Alpha,” I curtly bow my head before sitting down on the edge of the couch. Luna Elsie smiles weakly at me before coming to sit in front of me with Alpha Allisson.The two of them just watch me with those intimidating eyes, but I don’t cower. After all, I am an al
SashaI stare blankly at Cassian, my eyes trailing from his eyes to his feet as he takes slow, deliberate steps towards me. I swallowed hard, looking at Maura. ‘I can stay with you if you need me to.’ She links to me as I shake my head.“Give me a minute,” I say, and she grabs her things, making her way out of the shop to the cold room.“Have you been well?” He asks me, his voice soft. I chuckle softly, shaking my head, taking the flowers from the bucket. I need to start working.“What do you want, Your Grace? Is there anything you would like?” I ask, crossing my arms over my chest. He stops just a few steps from me, his eyes roaming all over my face.“I missed you.”I burst out laughing, shaking my head. “Bullshit!” I say with a straight face, bouncing on my heels.“What do you want, Cassian? Surely you didn’t travel from your pack to come and tell me you miss me.” I insist, holding his gaze. He turns away, looking around the shop. He takes time running his fingers over the lavender
SashaMy eyes sting and my heart pounds as I make my way out of the pack house. I had replayed this moment in my mind so many times. I thought about the words I would tell him if I ever saw him again. Wanted him to know how much he hurt me, but tonight, when I stood there, I found myself unable to speak.“Serena!” Isaiah’s voice came from behind me, startling me, but I shook my head, continuing with my walk. I can’t deal with this. Not with him and not now.“Sasha!” He grabs my wrist, making me turn to look at him. I blink back my tears, pressing my lips together. My body shakes so much.“Let’s get you home. You can’t walk like this,” he says. I lifted my gaze, looking at him.“You said his people won’t be coming. You lied.” The words leave my lips, and he sighs heavily.“I swear they didn’t respond. I was so sure they wouldn’t come,” he insisted, tightening his grip around my wrist. I can see the conflict in his eyes as I look away. I won’t cry. I won’t cry over that man.“Let me dri
