Cassi pov I thought that I was walking on pins while I was waiting for my husband to return and the more I looked at the clock the slower it seem to allow time to flow. I was pacing around the living room. I don't know why I was so tired, it wasn't as if I have sent him to an executioner but something about all of this was just making me feel unease and this lack of rest was only able to end when I saw the car pulling up and I heard the engine assuring me that it was him. Immediately I rushed down to welcome him and I hugged him as if he had just been to the moon and back he responded by pulling me into his embrace again and then he asked me why I was so enthusiastic that he was back he said his jokingly but I noticed that his eyes were not smiling at me when he said it. Not that he was angry but he looked sad I asked him what happened between him and my former trainer and then he said that it was better we talked about it inside so I took him over to my study where we had pr
Alder pov I knew that my mate was fuming with me right now because of what I did, but I was only doing it to protect her the stuff that's why she refused to speak to me and even though we're under the same roof, we might as well have been a million miles apart because that was definitely how I felt. I decided that if a manhunt was what was going to destroy my marriage and I was just going to let it go after all, it wasn't as if I have found any concrete evidence against the guy. it was just my tension because of the way he had been acting and she claimed to have known him more so I might just be jealous without realizing it if not I don't know why my gut is telling me that guy was up to no good but my mate was not having any of it and I had already stressed her enough if I kept pressing on this it would look as if I was the one that was responsible and I was trying to shift the blame over to her friend and I definitely didn't want it to come out like that. so I summoned my men t
Cassi pov I settled on my bed and a groan found it's way out of my trembling lips before I even realized it at all, all of this was so tiring. Now I had been looking for him all day and I've not been able to find him as much as I had been trying to, for some time I had been contemplating if he ran away again. No, I had been on guard now more than before and so he was not going to be able to get far without at least raising an alarm. Now I was sure of that indeed and that was what made me a bit calmer however I was still troubled about a lot of things in general and I didn't need this on my table as well.After all the promises that we made to each other he was not even touched enough to consider listening to me when I told him to let that investigation go instead he was just going ahead with whatever he wanted to do and it really pained me but what was I to do in that situation. I rolled uneasily on the bed thinking about it all and my stomach growling for food that I was not i
Alder pov my heart was beating so rapidly inside of my chest that every time I looked down I was surprised to see that it had not jumped right out and I will quickly return my eyes back to the road as my fingers seem to crave also the steering wheel as if my life depended on it and anyway it sort of did. With every inch that this car covered I knew that I was getting myself into deeper trouble with my wife because I knew that by now she would probably be panicking and asking where I was and the most reliable thing that will come to her mind was probably that I run away and abandoned her after everything I said and if that didn't come to her mind again she would probably think that I was stalking her friend. But therewas this high possibility that the friend she trusted so much was still the one that betrayed her however I could understand that right now she was on the fence about the whole thing after all this was someone that she had known and trusted for years and I was the one
Alder pov Even though both of them were shocked by me calling them out that did not stop one of them from immediately sprinting out of my sight, but I did not allow the other one to be able to escape as immediately reached out and grabbed him before he could even take another step forward and pulled him back with a frown on my lips as I looked at him with fury burning through every part of my body. "You have a lot of explaining to do and I think that this will be the best time to do it especially since your head is still connected to the rest of your body…" he was struggling until I said that and by that time I had to drag him over to a dark alley connecting to the club where I will show that even if he screamed at the top of his voice nobody was going to come and help him and if there was anybody that was even old enough or care enough to come and help him the only thing they will help us it was gathering what was left of his corpse because I was going to shred him to pieces if h
Cassi pov My mind was going to a million places at once as I was wondering where my husband could be and just when I was about to send out the search party to look for him I found him staggering into the palace and when he spotted me he falls into place as I marched towards him with an angry clay on my face I planted my hands on my hips and I asked him where he had been all day. He murmured something that was completely intangible to my ears so I asked him to repeat it because it not make any sense at all after all I needed to know what he has been doing all day and he had not responded to any of my calls or anything at all that reassured his safety. Now we thought that he will be able to get away by telling me that he was extremely tired but I was not going to take that at all. I immediately stepped back and told him that we were not done with our discussion and when we were finished was the only time that he was allowed to leave. He looked at me tentatively and then continue
Cassi pov The next day I was not going to let my husband get away with the same sloppy excuse that you had given me in the previous one I wanted an explanation and I was going to make sure that I got it out of him one way or the other. So after getting up from bed and finishing with my morning routine I was going to confront him when suddenly I got an unexpected call from my parents I picked up my phone from the side of my bed as the realization that I have not slept with my husband the previous night began to beat me but I tried to put it away as I answered the call from my father. we have not really been able to have a normal conversation ever since they're necessary trait that I'm taking them away as a very vital moment when I needed them a lot since my throne was being threatened by the council of the kingdom but I was glad that things have settled down now and have to speak with them my mother's soon joined on the call asking me how I was doing. as I sat on my bed I tri
Cassi pov Looking straight at my husband i told him I need an explanation for what happened before and then he waited for a couple of seconds before he finally responded to me that he thought he had answered my question yesterday. Then I told him down saying that he did not answer anything or at least not in a way that would satisfy me and if he didn't tell me the truth then it was going to leave to a lot of problems between the two of us I suggested to him that it was best he told me exactly what he are going through the night before and then he told me that he had just been strolling around town to clear up his head and they have not really been anything special that you have been doing and then I asked him why he have not been answering my calls he claimed that his phone was dead at the period. everything you said you seem to make sense but at the same time it was not going down well my stomach hurt all something told me that she was lying to me but at the same time I did not
