Darius could see the worry still etched deep within Cassandra’s eyes, a shadow lurking beneath the surface of her fragile calm. Without hesitation, he reached out and pulled her gently into an embrace, the warmth of his arms surrounding her like a protective shield. His hand cradled the back of her head as he pressed a soft kiss to her forehead, a silent promise that she was not alone.“You shouldn’t stay cooped up in here,” he murmured against her skin, his voice low but firm. “There’s an event tonight. If you want, we can go together. I don’t think being alone in this room will do you any good.”Cassandra lifted her gaze, her eyes still searching his for reassurance. “What about Nia? She must be worried sick about me,” she said quietly, the concern for her close friend evident in her tone. “And what event is this?”Darius smiled faintly, the corner of his mouth twitching in a rare moment of lightness. “If you want, I can have Nia come along. Rowan already told her you were away on a

Her voice caressed the title, soft and sultry, like a velvet rope tightening around his control. That strange heat rolled through his chest again, and he had to suppress the urge to reach for her, to pull her against him and feel her say it with her lips against his skin.Cassandra tilted her head. “I think it’s best I follow you to the event,” she added. “I don’t think hiding in here is going to help me figure things out.”Darius studied her. “Are you sure? You don’t have to. It was merely a suggestion.”“I’m sure,” she said without a hint of doubt.There was something in her eyes, a flicker of steel that hadn’t been there before. Whatever storm she’d just weathered, she was rising from it, steadier, stronger.“Very well,” he replied, voice returning to its usual smooth, commanding cadence. “I’ll have the maids attend to your needs, hair, dress, whatever you require.”He glanced at the clock on the mantle behind her, his expression shifting into something more professional. “I have s

Her breath caught in her throat.He was already dressed for the evening, tall, sharp, and striking in a black tailored suit. The shirt beneath was a deep grey, almost charcoal, with the top two buttons undone, revealing a glimpse of his collarbone and the strong line of his neck. His dark hair, usually a little wild, had been slicked back smoothly, giving him an even more powerful, polished look.But it was his eyes that held her still.Darius stopped just a few steps into the room and didn’t speak right away. He simply looked at her. His gaze swept over her slowly, from the soft ribbons in her hair to the shine of her dress, and then back up to her eyes.His expression didn’t change much, but his silence spoke louder than any words.Cassandra stood up slowly, her hands smoothing the sides of her dress. She felt her heartbeat rise, but not out of fear. It was the way he looked at her. Like she was something rare. Something important.“Is it too much?” she asked softly, glancing down a

Darius nodded slowly. “You’ve started to see. Not just with your eyes, but with your wolf. You’re sensing what we are. The energy. The presence.”She let out a small breath, her voice low. “It’s overwhelming. Like stepping into a dream I didn’t know I was part of.”“You’re doing well,” he said gently, his voice steady. “It gets easier with time. You’re adapting faster than most.”Then, a voice broke through the calm like a breeze that carried ice.“Darius.”Cassandra turned her head just as a woman approached, moving with the grace of someone used to being watched. She was older, perhaps in her late forties, with elegant posture and long black hair swept neatly into a twist. Her deep red gown hugged her figure perfectly, and her jewellery sparkled like stars against her pale skin. But what caught Cassandra’s attention most was the sharpness in her smile. It looked polished… too polished. The kind of smile that said: I see more than I let on.She sat down next to Darius without waiting

The ceremony was over now.The hall had changed.The heavy silence and ancient magic were gone, replaced by soft music, clinking glasses, and quiet laughter. The guests had moved to the reception area, a wide room with tall ceilings and hanging lights that looked like stars. Servers moved between the guests with silver trays, offering drinks and finger foods. Everyone had a glass in their hands, sipping slowly, chatting in small groups.Cassandra stood with Darius near one of the tall glass windows that overlooked the courtyard. In her hand was a glass of pale golden wine. She took a small sip, letting the cool liquid slide over her tongue. It tasted expensive. Sweet at first, but with a sharp edge underneath.“This feels like a full-blown wedding,” she said after a moment, turning to Darius.He chuckled softly, his deep voice smooth. “Wait until you see the actual wedding,” he replied. “Tonight was just the beginning.
