Chapter 101 False Accusation

CASSANDRAWhen I arrived at my chamber, I was surprised to see it was completely empty.“Erika?” I called out anyway, and when no answer came in response, I frowned and shook my head. Where was she? And where were Adalyn and Margaret?Knowing how spiteful and petty the two women were, I’d assumed that they’d remain in my room until I was finished with work, just to incite a bigger emotional response in me. Perhaps they’d even gone as far as sending Finnick my way to hasten the process. Yet, they weren’t here.So where had they gone?I considered all of the options and landed on one in particular. I would go to every inch of the palace if I had to, but before I began checking every room, I decided I would start with Margaret’s.Asher’s wicked stepmother’s chamber was a likely place for them to convene, as her wing of Merliscire was tucked away from everyone else’s. She’d given up the larger chamber to Asher when his father had passed all of those years ago and moved into the South Wing

Chapter 102 Always on her side

CASSANDRAAs my eyes took in the sight of my beloved friend, my heart sank in my chest. Erika looked terrible beyond words.“Cassandra,” she managed to utter.Her skin was ghostly pale, and though her kind eyes were happy to see me, her gaze was distant. Her lips were practically blue and her gray-streaked blonde hair had sprung loose from its usually tidy bun.I rushed over to her and helped steady her just as she was about to fall.“Hang on, Erika,” I urged. “Let’s get you back to my room.”A pair of servants appeared mere seconds later.“Can we help you, Miss Cassandra?” one asked me politely.“If you could help me escort her down the hall that would be great,” I replied.The servant nodded. “Of course.”“Are you ready?” I asked Erika. After she managed the smallest of nods, I carefully lifted her arm up over my shoulder. The servant did the same on the other side, and once we had a good grip on her, we began to guide her down the hall and out of the South Wing. With every step, I

Chapter 103 Why call you Cora?

CASSANDRA I smiled back at Erika. Even though my time back in Anemond had been nothing short of turbulent and dangerous, knowing she had my back meant the world to me. I felt relieved to finally be able to tell her the truth. I didn’t have to sit with the guilt any longer. Erika covered her mouth but didn’t manage to conceal her yawn. Her eyes started to appear a little distant. She looked exhausted. “I’m going to go to the lab and get the medicine for you,” I said gently. “Why don’t you lay down and try to get some rest?” I half-expected her to protest, but instead, she simply nodded and then laid back down. I carefully tucked her in, and within seconds, Erika nodded off. As I rose to my feet and stared down at her, I wiped the stray tears from my cheeks. The maid meant more to me than just about anyone. I would do everything in my power to take care of her injuries. I carefully cleaned the blood off of myself and then slipped out of the chamber. I would grab the necessary medi

Chapter 104 Get back together

CASSANDRA My voice caught in my throat and I blinked in surprise as I fought to find an answer. I knew Erika hadn’t intended to slip, but it was a slip nonetheless and I needed to find a proper explanation to keep Finnick from finding out the truth. He couldn’t know I was Cora. Luckily, Erika spoke again. “Oh,” she mused, and she rubbed her eyes and let out an exaggerated but still believable yawn. “I’m so sorry Cassandra. I didn’t realize it was you. I was having this… dream… and I apparently mistook you for someone else. I’m sorry.” “It’s alright,” I replied, and when I glanced over at Finnick, he didn’t seem too thrown off by the answer. He nodded his head and held his stuffed bear up. He pursed his lips slightly and then frowned. “Everything okay, Finnick?” I prompted him. Finnick stared at his toy for a little while longer, and then realization crossed his serious features. “I remember!” he announced. “Cora was the name of the poor mate of the Alpha King. I remember you tal

Chapter 105 Something happened

ASHER “The trash bins were empty when we found them, Your Majesty,” the guard lamented to me with a bowed head. “We searched high and low. We even checked with the cleaner. He couldn’t find anything either. It seemed that the supposed masked man worked too quickly.” I released a heavy sigh though I wasn’t surprised in the slightest. I sat back in my chair and fought the urge to grow frustrated. The guard resumed a more polite posture and waited for my response. When he’d arrived in my study just minutes ago, I’d been hoping for good news. But sure enough, the masked man was far more skillful than I wanted. He had to be, otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to hide here in Anemond for so long. I’d sent a team to investigate Spike’s claim that he’d discarded the books stolen from the royal library in a trash bin out in the street in the development beyond the palace. Now that I knew that the books were still missing, I wasn’t completely certain if Spike was lying or not. “I want h

Chapter 106 Anything for you

ASHER Cassandra seemed lost in her thoughts for a moment. As I waited for her to answer my question, I tried to read her expression. I hadn’t meant to sound so harsh, but I knew there was something she wasn’t telling me, and it was killing me not to know. “There’s nothing you can do about this,” she said finally. “I could do anything for you, Cassandra,” I insisted, and I stared deeply into her eyes. “I can deal with Margaret. I assure you, it won’t be like last time. She isn’t going to get away with this, not if I have anything to do with it. You can trust me.” “How?” she asked. Tears started to form in her eyes, but she quickly blinked them away. “How will you deal with it, Asher? You said you would look into this, but there’s nothing to look at. Margaret and Adalyn want to punish Erika because she’s associated with me. What could you do to them? They’re your wife and your stepmother. Besides… as much as I hate to say this, they have very good, plausible reasons to do all of thi

Chapter 107 Call Marley

CASSANDRA “Name it, Cassandra, and it’s yours.” My new name from his lips sounded just as sweet as ever, and a chill ran through me. No matter how many days went by, I remained so enamored with Asher Collins. For a moment, I was surprised by his generosity, but then I realized I was just getting a glimpse at the old Asher. He’d always been so dedicated and caring. There was no reason for me to be shocked that he still was. As his gorgeous gray eyes stared into mine intensely, I thought of what Erika had said. I wanted to ask him about Adalyn and the circumstances that led to their marriage. I wanted to know if she’d trapped him or if there was some unknown reasoning that I wasn’t aware of. If I could get answers, maybe I could settle the storm of my thoughts and figure out how we could move forward. Everything was such an intricate puzzle and all I wanted were answers. Before I could gather the courage, Asher spoke again. “Think about it,” he advised. “In the meantime, I wanted

Chapter 108 Promised visit

CASSANDRA My jaw dropped in surprise and my eyebrows shot up. What? Marley and her mate had always seemed so happy together. Their children were incredibly sweet as well, so I was a little surprised by all of this. “Oh Marley,” I sighed. “I’m so sorry… what happened?” “He cheated,” she revealed, and her tone was somewhere between sad and angry. “I caught them with another woman one day after work. It was a slow day at the clinic, so I left early, and I caught them right in the middle of the… act.” “Oh no,” I breathed. “Oh no.” “Yeah,” she scoffed. “Can you believe it, Cassy? I was so shocked that I tripped and fell down on the way out of the room. I almost broke my nose. And then, the shameless bastard tried to blame the whole affair on me. He said all of this happened because I was too focused on my work and cared too little about him.” “That’s bullshit,” I blurted out, and anger swelled within me. “It’s not your fault in the slightest.” “I know,” she said quietly. “Doesn’t

Chapter 109 Yurene's requests

ASHER The meeting with the king of Yurene was arranged in the biggest meeting room in Merliscire. My attendants had been hard at work all morning, seeing to it that all of the place settings were up to par and that every last surface was clean and tidy. Normally, I didn’t care much for things like this or worry about the appearance of the palace, but in a way, I didn’t mind showing off a bit. Kaleb had seemed wholly unimpressed with Anemond, and Wegalla in general, so I was more than happy to have my servants put in a bit more work to show the foreign king that we weren’t uncivilized. Most of the councilors had announced to me that we were going to discuss some key business with the king of Yuene. Admittedly, I was a bit nervous. Grand meetings such as this were not often held. In fact, the last time so many had gathered together here in this hall, my late father had called all of the councilors together to discuss Cora’s father’s intention to kill Oliver Moses. A lump formed in m

Chapter 110 Talent should be appreciated

ASHER After what felt like damn near an eternity, the meeting reached a conclusion. Despite the long hours of bartering and propositions, nothing had really been decided. The councilors were unwilling to give away any sort of information or allow any type of goods to be taken back to Yurene. They seemed too afraid of the Northern country and unwilling to allow any breach of security. The poor recorder had written pages upon pages of notes. I felt sorry for him, as his job certainly hadn’t been easy. I hadn’t expected so many arguments and disputes, and my head was pounding intensely. I desperately needed some medicine to soothe the aches brought on by my illness. “We will take all of the proposals that were made today into consideration,” I announced to the room. “Once we reach a conclusion, we will gather again and renegotiate. Thank you all for granting us your time and ideas. Councilors, you are dismissed.” The councilors and diplomats rose to their feet and bowed obediently. A
