“I love Daniel.” Cassian’s gaze flickered at the mention of his son, something dark passing behind his eyes. “Love,” he said slowly, “doesn’t erase debt.” Her knees felt weak. “Then what do you want?” she asked. “If money isn’t enough, what is?” Cassian stepped past her, his presence brushing against her shoulder like a shadow. He took a sip, brows knitting as if that was his first taste of it. “I want certainty,” he said. “I want obedience. I want to know that you understand exactly where you stand.”

Cassie, when will you finally act a little more mature, like your age? "Fine. I went back because of Evelyn, but it's because she's in a very urgent situation. I'm only just going back now to help her. "We're all classmates here. How could you be so cold and heartless?" After that, the screen was immediately filled with comments from the audience once more. "Oh, my God, how could Cassidy be such an evil person? Is she getting ready to chase after Randy and stop him from leaving now?" "She even refunded the hotel room on purpose to make Randy feel sorry for her! Why don't you go and jump off a cliff instead?"

“Lesson one. Hit me.” I blink at him. “What?” He crooks a finger. “Hit me. Anywhere. However you want.” I glance around. Warriors are openly watching now. Some with interest, some with amusement. “This is stupid,” I say. “Standing there with a tray in your hands while a rogue lunges at your throat was stupid,” Cassian says, tone still light but eyes serious. “This is an upgrade.” My throat tightens at the memory. I square my shoulders.

I only needed to deliver it to the Moon Council contact. The door opened without a knock. Cassian walked in wearing the formal coat from the ceremony. The collar sat crooked against his throat, and the scent of wine and burning pine resin followed him into the room. His gaze dropped to my case. “What scene are you staging now?” I closed the clasp on my medicine box and did not answer at once. Cassian stepped closer. Alpha pressure rolled through the room. The lock on my case snapped open, and clothes, papers, and small medicine jars spilled across the floor. A jar of burn salve rolled to the toe of his polished boot.

There was a time I envied Cassian for the secret favor she showed him. She always served him soup first. She always checked his wounds first. But Cassian, that idiot, chose self-destruction. Right then, her voice chimed through our mind-link, urging me to come home. "The dragon bone amulet is finished, and the apple pie just came out of the oven." I stood up and looked down at Cassian. "What does a little favoritism matter?" My smile was full of a victor's pride. "What I have now is an exclusive soul contract."

“Sorry to say, but you have the survival instincts of a fart.” My eyes narrow, heat flaring in my chest. He flashes his palms. “Before you chop my head off, how about I introduce myself? I might change your mind.” “I'm not counting on it.” He chuckles, a deep rumbling sound that sparks a low hum in my belly. “I'm Cassian. Cassian Cross.” Of course he'd have a hot name. It's evident in the soft pout of his lips and the heat of his stare. “So…who's the lucky guy?” His jaw tightens, eyes on my fingers.

It was the look of a man who realized he no longer knew the person sitting beside him. Cassian almost laughed.

And for the first time in a long time, Cassian Vale found himself more motivated to take a step forward.

Then the key merged with Cassian's Crown mark. Gone. Just like that. Then Ava looked like she wanted to throw something. Then: "This trial is stupid." Honestly? Fair. Very fair. Reasonable honestly. Then Cassian jumped from the rooftop. Landing lightly before them. Then: "You spend too much time trying to be heroes." Silence. Then: "The Bastion rewards results." Thomas stared at him. Then: "And the people?" Cassian smiled. Then: "What about them?" The answer chilled everyone. Then Valen stepped forward.

We were one step closer to uncovering the truth, and taking down the real enemy. I quickly finished my tea and got dressed, and made my way to Cassian's room. He was waiting for me, his eyes locked on mine. He quickly threw the book. He was reading on the desk and opened his arms for me to go in for a hug which I didn’t hesitate to do. He kissed me on my forehead and ran a hand across my face, then put me on my cheek, then a kiss on my lip. His lip tasted like strawberry, and I liked it then he made me sit on his things.
