Cassian did end up letting me go out and train after Max, Lily, and Barry left.Right now, he was at the pack house with Max, doing Alpha things, and since the training session was over, I was stuck at home, my bodyguard staring at me like she was scared I was going to disappear. That's right. You heard it right. Cassian assigned me a bodyguard. Ridiculous, right?Her name was Vanya, and she was one of the pack warriors. Apparently one of the best too. I wondered how she felt about being called away from her duties and told to watch me. She wasn't very talkative, and had a bit of a resting bitch face, so I felt a bit out of my depth trying to talk with her. She sparred with me for a few hours and actually taught me some new things, but now that our sparring session was over, we were both just sitting and staring at each other across the kitchen table. "Um... So, do you want something to drink?" I asked her."No," she replied. "Thank you." Er... "What about food? Do you want f

Whenever Cassian and I slept, our mindlink was always left open since our metal defenses were down. Which was why I heard Max clearly when he yelled at Cassian through the pack mindlink. "ALPHA! THERE'S AN AMBUSH!"Cassian and I were immediately jolted out of sleep, sitting up in bed. "What?" Cassian asked Max. "Where?""The east border!" Max shouted back. "Red Moon and Ironwood soldiers are here!""All of them?" "All of them! Get your—"Max cut off abruptly, closing the mindlink. "Max?" Cassian called, getting out of bed in a hurry and racing to the closet. "Max!" He came back out, a pained expression on his face. "He's been wounded," he said to me. My eyes widened as I got out of bed too, catching the shirt Cassian tossed at me. "Let's go." We both dressed minimally in case we had to shift, and raced out of the house. Just as we did, the blare of the alarm sounded. I'd glanced at a clock as Cassian and I left the house. It was almost two in the morning. Pack members were

CASSIANI felt a sharp pain in my heart as my mate disappeared, and forced it away. I was worried for her and I was scared, but that wouldn't help me or her now. I need to be focused on the present. After the spell, Saoirse was pale as she walked to the edge of the wards. "Are you alright?" I asked her. She shook her head. "Just running a bit low on power. I'll renew the wards, but if the other witch is strong enough, it won't make much of a difference. They'll fall soon."I nodded. I'd been expecting this. I was ready to fight. We waited with bated breath as Saoirse worked, her and the other witch engaged in a silent battle of wills. After what felt like an hour but was only a few minutes, Axel stepped forward again. "I never thought I'd see the day when the Bloody Prince would hide behind the petty tricks of witches instead of standing and fighting like a true Alpha," he sneered. As usual, I ignored him, having nothing to say to him. The only thing I wanted was to get my han

Julietta cackled. "What's yours? What exactly is that? Did your little Alpha toss you aside after he finished using you? Did he send you away? Is that why you came crawling back?" She was standing on the podium, making no effort to.walk towards me, so I remained where I stood, gazing at her evenly. Once upon a time, I wanted us to be close. I yearned for that sisterly bond between us, somehow deluding myself that if that happened, Hugo and my mother would treat me better. I was a fool. By now, the pack members left in the pack had gathered in the square, watching us with whispers. "Are you really that stupid, Julietta?" I asked softly. "Because of your misplaced desire for revenge, did you really send your pack members off to die?" She laughed. "Die! Whatever gave you that idea? I sent them to drag a murderous traitor back, but you've saved us the trouble, I see. That's just as well. I wouldn't mind seeing the Bloody Prince fall after everything he's done." I laughed too. "You

I woke up with a pounding headache and a temperature that felt like it was just a few degrees from a high fever. I felt for Althea and was relieved when I could feel her presence faintly. She was awake, but weak. The next thing I noticed was the scent of my mate, and the electric feeling of his skin against mine. Cassian was laying underneath me. I stirred and opened my eyes quickly, wanting to see him. His arm across my waist tightened slightly, and he stirred too. "Iris?" I smiled as I looked up at him, my vision still slightly hazy. He looked worried and tired, his hair sticking up in all directions and dark bags beginning to form beneath his eyes. "Hey," I greeted softly. Without a word, Cassian crushed me to his chest once more, hugging me tightly. His heartbeat was a little fast, as if he hadn't yet let go of whatever panic he felt. "Don't ever do that again," he told me after a while through our mindlink. The fighting for my pack part or the getting poisoned part, I wa
