Cassian’s P.O.V. “There’s a pulse!” I didn’t realize that words left my mouth until every head snapped at me. For a second, the world held its breath. And then, chaos erupted. Carla lunged forward, grasping Liora’s hand to confirm. Stacy gasped loud enough for the whole camp to hear. Others scrambled, stumbling over the coal as they rushed to help. Damon shouted instructions. “Prepare a bed in the hospital. Quick!” Voices screamed and bodies moved around in a blur, but all I could see was Liora’s limp, ash-covered wrist under my thumb, that faint pulse stopping me from going insane. Before I could gather myself, Carla and Stacy lifted her from me, covering her fragile body with a soft sheet. Their voices were frantic as they created a path towards the medical wing in the crowd. In a daze, I followed them, my legs shaking as though they didn't know how to hold anymore. Soon, we reached the medical wing, the team of healers already waiting outside the ICU. They laid Liora on the

Cassian’s P.O.V.Corra… didn’t even know about Luna Eluvia’s death!A cold weight dropped straight into my stomach. My lycan froze, too stunned to even snarl.How long had she been in this Silver Forest? How cut off from the world? And how in God's name I was supposed to tell her that her only pup was dead?“It’s like…” I began, but the words wouldn’t come out as my throat was locked. “I-I…” Damn it!I had fought wars and faced deadly enemies alone, but this was impossible. I didn't have enough courage to break a mother’s heart. Unable to utter a single word, I was staring at her like a stupid when heaven showed mercy.Carla stepped forward as my savior, carrying a heart-shaped diamond locket, lifting it in the air to show the wolf. “Do you remember me, Lady Corra?”Carla bowed her head slightly.“I am Carla, daughter of the healer Joseph. He was the Lunaris bloodline’s healer. My family has served your house in the Ember Howl Pack.”The Silver Wolf went utterly still. For a heartb

Liora's P.O.V.Cassian looked… nothing like the man I remembered. His usually sharp eyes were bruised with dark circles so deep that they looked carved into his skin. His cheeks were hollow, his skin pale, stretching tight over his bones.This wasn't that powerful king, who always strode like the world bowed under his feet. He tore his gaze from me and looked at the elders, his voice rough and cracking.“Is it done? Can I release my hands and see my mate?”The word ‘mate’ echoed heavily in the room, making my pulse race. Something tugged at my wrist, warm and fierce. So, I looked down, only to be startled by the red threads I had seen earlier.But now, they glowed brightly like a molten fire, curling around my wrist in swirling ribbons. They rose into the air, alive and pulsing with heat. My breath stalled as they stretched across the space towards Cassian. Then the same fiery threads wrapped him too, burning brighter, thicker, and wider than ever. A violent shiver wracked through m

Liora’s P.O.V.Everyone stared at Cassian, utterly stunned, like he had just dropped winter over a warm spring morning. Excitement vanished as all the smiles disappeared in thin air, making the air feel different.Grandpa’s eyebrows arched slowly, dangerously.“Well, why can’t you have your marriage ceremony here?”Cassian didn’t flinch. His voice turned formal, weighted.“My mate is the queen of the supernatural world. There will be a majestic ceremony in the lycan capital to honor our union.And now, as Liora has been healed, we would like to leave as soon as possible.”What?Leave? Already?My heart lurched as I had barely seen my grandparents, barely breathed in the Silver Forest, and Cassian was all set to go back. I didn’t even leave my bed and explored the area for a while.My panicked gaze landed on Grandpa, hoping for help. Velen’s expressions darkened, his forehead creasing as he glared hard at Cassian. His aura cracked like a fire behind his eyes.“Liora has just woken up a

Liora’s P.O.V.“Cassian!Don’t. You. Dare!”My panic shot through the roof as I lunged out of the bed, my bare feet slapping the floor as I grabbed his hand just before he could twist the knob. Cassian flinched, his face innocent as a sinner caught mid-crime. But I glared up at him with all the fury I could manage. “No!”Shaking my head, I whispered.“There. Not through the door.”Despite my desperate pleas, he didn’t move an inch. Of course, he didn’t, acting like the future menace to my sanity. His stubbornness left me with no choice, so I took matters into my hands. Using my full force, I pushed him forward, trying to move the mountain of muscles in front of me.But Cassian barely budged, smirking playfully.I hissed. “Move!”He took one step forward and then paused again. And I swear, I could feel my soul leaving my body.“Cassian,” I whispered with the last shred of patience I possessed. “Go. Please!” Finally, he moved and swung one leg out of the window with the leisurely gr
