Cassian’s P.O.V. I left the circle of the healers and rogues behind without a word, my body moving before thoughts could catch up. Every step towards Liora's cabin throbbed with resolve. “I am marking her tonight!” This much waiting was enough, pretending that distance would somehow keep her safe. But time had proved me wrong. I should have listened to my feral side and marked her long ago. My pulse hammered in my ears as I shoved the cabin door open, soft enough to not wake her up. However, the moment I stepped inside her room, the sight before my eyes halted me in my tracks. An old woman with white hair sat beside Liora’s bed, her back straight despite her age. Her fingers rested slightly on Liora’s wrist, the practiced touch of someone checking a pulse. As she didn't flinch or show any reaction at my entrance, it was certain that she wasn’t a threat to my mate. So, I asked her coldly. “Who are you? Explain yourself!” She simply lifted her head and met my gaze with calm a

Liora’s P.O.V.What?Alpha Magnus? And here?My heart slammed against my ribs, making me realize the seriousness of the situation.

Finally, he exhaled, his voice cutting through the room like a blade. “Prepare for the attack!”He ordered icily. “Mobilize the elite warriors from the capital. I will lead the army myself.”My breath snagged as his words hit

Liora’s P.O.V.I had never faced any problem while communicating with anyone, because nobody wanted to talk to me. But now I have to be creative for my husband. Being a mute couldn’t stop me from having a smooth conversation with him. As plenty of time would be wasted typing a response, I came prepared, writing down everything on papers.So, I handed him my two-page-long apology letter next, my hands trembling slightly as our fingers brushed. Cassian took it without a word and settled back on the bench, the moonlight catching the sharp planes of his face. He unfolded the papers and started reading. Minutes stretched into silence, broken only by the rustles of papers and night wind through the trees. My heart thumped in my chest, every beat loud enough to drown out the crickets. After what felt like a century, he finally exhaled.“You don’t know anything about lycans,” he said quietly, almost to himself. Then his gaze lifted, meeting mine.“Let me tell you about us!”What did the l
