If Cassian’s words hadn’t echoed in my head, my rage would’ve exploded by now. We’d just met in the hotel lobby—right after I made sure Alaric was fast asleep. Though the night had gone exactly as I’d planned, my fury still simmered beneath the surface. Everything had been perfect, and yet that man… he’d simply fallen asleep.Cassian had wanted to speak with Alaric earlier. He’d tried reaching him several times through the mind link but failed—unaware that Alaric was already unconscious. Feeling guilty, he’d come in person. I didn’t mind. I wanted to see him, too. Or rather, he wanted to speak with me.“I hope I’m not interrupting your night together,” he’d said when I joined him in the hotel café.“Of course not.” I smiled sweetly. “I’m glad you’re keeping an eye on us.”“Because you’re my sister, Lyra.” Cassian chuckled. “You know the tension between NightFang and SilverFang is getting worse. It may look calm on the surface, but up north, the guards are on full alert. For now, I can

Alaric’s POV“Stop it, Lyra.” I caught her wandering fingers before they could move any further. She pouted, obviously displeased.I used to like it when she acted this way—clingy, dependent, as if I were the center of her world. Lyra was different from Cassandra. There were parts of Lyra I appreciated, yes, but there were far more things about Cassandra that I admired—things Lyra could never imitate.“Why are you being so difficult?” Lyra whined, tilting her head in mock annoyance. “Don’t you want to come with me?”“It’s not that,” I sighed, giving in to the heaviness in my chest. “It’s just… if you want me to go with you, shouldn’t you start getting ready? I also must meet Cassian to discuss a few things.”Her mood flipped instantly; she smiled brightly and nodded.“But… who exactly are you meeting?&rdq

Orion smiled calmly. “We were told to keep that land untouched. No one dares disturb it.” He shifted slightly in his seat before adding, “I heard the plant can soothe a restless wolf’s soul.”“That’s true,” Elder Mirah said as she poured the fragrant tea into porcelain cups. “But that’s only one side of its nature. Lyssaria is a plant of dual essence—healer and destroyer. It responds to the heart of the one who wields it.”I tilted my head, intrigued. “What do you mean?”Elder Mirah’s gaze lingered on me, as if weighing how much she could reveal.“You don’t need to hold back,” Orion said gently. “Cass is someone I trust completely. So… tell us what you know.”Mirah exhaled softly, her fingers tracing the rim of her cup. She was cautious—too cautious. Whatever knowledge she carried wasn’t something share

Cass’s PoV“So… this is WestVale?” I asked as soon as I stepped out of Orion’s crimson car.Once again, he insisted on driving himself—no escort, no guards, not even Ben, his ever-loyal Beta. Though Ben had joined this diplomatic trip, Orion preferred a quieter entrance.“Yes,” he said, his gaze fixed on the grand, ancient castle rising before us. “It feels like stepping into a fairy tale. You could almost imagine nobles in Victorian gowns, endless banquets… and, of course, territory wars between Packs waiting to erupt.”I couldn’t help but agree.“Still,” I murmured, “WestVale is one of the few Packs that truly values peace. I’ve never heard of them clashing with any other Pack in the East.”Before long, two soldiers approached, dressed in immaculate uniforms and carrying themselves with the kind of discipline on

Cass's PoV“How could that woman possibly have Lyssaria, Orion?” I asked, pulling the seat belt into place. My voice sounded calm, but my mind was spinning with questions that refused to stop.I’d wanted to ask earlier, but Orion hadn’t said a single word since we left the hall—just kept walking toward the car, silent and focused. Maybe it was because we were still in a public space, and Orion always knew when to hold his tongue. But once the car began moving out of the WestVale grounds, he finally spoke.“The scent of that plant is unlike anything else,” he said quietly, his tone steady and sure. “Lyssaria carries its own energy—its own aura. Only the wolves of NightFang can sense it.”My brows furrowed. “So the plant has… unique properties?”He nodded. The engine purred softly, blending with the sound of light rain tapping against the wind

I froze. My breath caught. “What?”“Please, just answer me honestly, Cass.”“Have you completely lost your mind, Alaric?” I spat, angered, lacing every word. My voice trembled—not with fear, but fury. “You must be insane if you think I’d ever do that. After everything you did to me. After all the pain you caused. You think I’d stoop that low?”He didn’t answer right away. Guilt flickered in his expression—real, raw—but it was tangled with confusion.“No. I don’t think you’d do that, Cass. It’s just that… I don’t understand. I remember something, but—”“Moon Goddess, what on earth is going through your head, Alaric?” I couldn’t believe he had the nerve to say something like that to me. “Do you not remember who you spent your night with?”He fell silent, but his eyes stayed locked on

Alaric’s POV“This way, Alpha,” one of the SilverFang warriors said as he opened the car door for me. We were finally ready to return home.I wasn’t sure if this was luck or just another problem brought by Iris, but at least… Cassandra was coming with me. Even though I could see the storm brewing on her face—the anger, the frustration, the unspoken complaints—the most important thing was, she couldn’t refuse me.“Get in,” I said, holding the door open for her.The warriors exchanged confused looks, whispering among themselves.“Alpha? Are you sure it’s wise to bring a stranger with us?” Cassian asked, his tone sharp with protest. His gaze was full of disapproval.“Where’s Luna Lyra?” he pressed.“Lyra has business to finish in WestVale,” I replied curtly. “And whoever I allow in this car is here because I said so. You don’t have the right to ques—”“You really don’t have to trouble yourself, Alpha Alaric,” Cass

Alaric’s POV“I don’t want to talk about this, Cass.”The words left my mouth faster than I could think. I didn’t expect myself to snap back so quickly, and I fought to keep my voice steady, controlled. I couldn’t let her see how much her question had shaken me. My chest pulsed, like something inside was striking against my ribs.But of course—I’d forgotten one thing. Cassandra never let anything go until she had an answer.“I want to talk about it, Alaric.”Her tone was sharp, her gaze sharper. She spoke calmly, and somehow that calm felt more threatening than if she’d yelled. “I won’t stop until you answer honestly.”I stayed silent. The more I spoke, the more things I had no intention of touching. I ignored her or tried to. But I’d also forgotten one more thing: Cassian always chose the worst possible moment to open his damn

“What does that have to do with you?” she replied flatly.She adjusted herself in the passenger seat, settling in as if she refused to give me even a sliver of space in her world.“I don’t want to talk about anything with you, Alaric. You’re the one who insisted I come with you. So treat me properly. And stop bothering me.”“Wow… listen to you,” Cassian sneered. “Speaking like you’re still our Luna, Cass. You really are shameless. Seducing powerful men with whatever charm you have left? Pathetic.”“Whatever I do, I don’t need your opinion, Cassian.” She slipped in her earphones, pointedly shutting him—and me—out.“If not for my daughter, I wouldn’t even tolerate breathing the same air as you, Cassian.Same goes for you, Alaric.”I held myself back—barely. Responding would only fuel this me

Cass’s PoVI never expected to end up in the same car as Alaric. I still don’t know what possessed me to agree to it. Maybe I wouldn’t have, if not for his threat—that he wouldn’t tell me which hospital Iris had been taken to. That was the only reason I was sitting beside him now, forcing my heartbeat to steady every time I thought about Iris’s condition.And as if that wasn’t enough, I had to deal with Cassian, who—damn him—always found a way to corner me. Always attacking with those sharp, cutting remarks, as if I were the root of every problem in his life.Cassian is my brother. The same older brother who used to hold me when I cried, who used to shield me when someone tried to bother me. But ever since Lyra arrived… all of that vanished. Replaced by coldness, dislike, and a hatred I still couldn’t understand. Even now, I have no idea what sin I committed against him.I
