Chapter 41 Splendid idea

CASSANDRAAs I stared back at Margaret, I pushed down my disbelief and tried to keep my face as neutral as possible. Asher’s stepmother’s words were harsh, but I couldn’t let her threaten me.“Rest assured, I’m being completely honest with you,” I said calmly. “The Alpha King was especially concerned after the viper appeared here at Merliscire, and wanted a thorough investigation done on the beast.”“Were there any findings?” Margaret practically demanded. The woman’s nostrils flared in agitation, and her mouth pursed as she awaited my reply. “Yes,” I confirmed, and I made sure to keep my tone as even as possible as I leaned forward. “The viper that attacked the Alpha King seemed to be raised deliberately by someone-”“What does that mean?” she interrupted me, and her eyes narrowed further.“The essence released in the bite wasn’t venom,” I revealed. “It was an artificial poison.”The moment the words left my lips, a strange feeling moved through me. I didn’t regret blurting out the

Chapter 42 Prince was adopted

CASSANDRA Once dinner was over, a servant guided me back to my chambers, and when I entered the room, the lights were dimmed and Finnick was fast asleep. Erika sat at the table, reading a book by candlelight, and when she looked up to face me, her kind eyes were wide with concern. “You look stressed, Cassandra,” she noted quietly, and she patted the seat beside her. “Come, tell me what’s wrong. Did something bad happen at dinner?” I crossed over to the table and took the seat next to her. The entire way there, the weight of the conversation earlier hit me hard, and my hands began to shake. “Lady Margaret made me an offer earlier,” I remarked. “She suggested that Finnick should join Prince Marco in his afternoon lessons.” “Oh,” Erika said simply, and her brows furrowed. “That… seems… generous.” I could tell the maid was stringing her words together carefully in hopes not to offend me, but little did she know, she could never say anything to hurt me. “It is,” I replied, and I lea

Chapter 43 Kids fight

CASSANDRA The next day in the lab, I was hard at work when I realized Becky was staring at me. “What’s wrong?” I asked, and I smoothed my hair down. “Is my hair sticking straight up or something? Do I have something in my teeth?” “No, no,” Becky assured me, but her expression said otherwise. “Did you have some trouble sleeping last night?” “How did you know?” I wondered. “Your eyes are swollen,” my assistant pointed out gently. Heat spread to my cheeks, and I took my protective goggles off. I was hoping it wasn’t that noticeable, but apparently, that wasn’t the case. After I’d gotten Finnick to sleep, I’d gone to my own bed and cried into the early hours of the morning. Hearing about Marco and the way Asher had used him to mourn my loss had been such a heavy burden to learn about, and I wasn’t processing it well. But I couldn’t think of that now. There was too much work to be done. “Anyway,” I said slowly, and then I shifted the subject. “Becky, have you found anything more ab

Chapter 44 Grievance

CASSANDRA As Adalyn continued to glare daggers in my direction, I turned to look at Finnick. “Did you lay a hand on Prince Marco?” I asked as evenly as I could possibly manage. Finnick took a moment and then shook his head. “I didn’t do anything,” he said quietly, but his expression told a different story. Finnick tended to glance down at the ground when he was lying, and he’d done just that a moment ago. So, I took a breath and repeated myself. “Finnick, this is serious,” I said in a much sterner tone. “I want the truth. Did you lay a hand on Prince Marco?” Finnick took a moment of pause, and then he nodded. “Sort of,” he admitted. “But it was just a light push, Mommy. And Marco hit me first-” “Prince Marco,” Adalyn corrected him through bared teeth, and then she rushed over to us. She seemed as if she were going to snatch my son away, but I held firm and lifted him up before she could do anything. I glared at Asher’s wife as she stopped in front of us. No one, royal or not,

Chapter 45 Telltale

ASHER As the Alpha King of Wegalla, I often had to endure things that I didn’t want to, and this meeting was no exception. I wasn’t usually one to drift off during important conversation, but this particular one wasn’t holding me as much as I wished for it to. I’d invited a few of my more trusted councilors into my study to discuss some business, and as I sat back in the leather armchair at my desk, their discussion danced by my ears. I’d had the housekeepers make some rearrangements, so the councilmen were seated around me rather than all of us sitting in the more informal seating area of my study. I fidgeted in my seat. These days, I was more restless than I’d ever been. There was much to attend to, but ever since the viper attack in Rosepetal’s garden with Cassandra Keller, I’d been off my game. “Your Majesty?” one of my councilors, an older gentleman named Jacoby prompted me out of my stupor. His dark eyes were wide with concern as they studied me, and I straightened my postur

Chapter 46 Do you care?

CASSANDRA As I stood outside Asher’s study, my heart beat like a drum. I was there to ask the Alpha King for permission to both visit the royal library and take a day off of my duties to show Finnick Anemond, and I was incredibly anxious. I had no idea if Prince Marco or Adalyn had come to him to report what had happened between the boys yesterday, and I wasn’t sure how Asher had taken it if they had. I took a long, deep breath and then knocked on the door. A moment or two passed and then the door creaked open. Asher stood on the other side. “Cassandra,” he greeted me calmly. “Come in.” He inclined his head toward the study and held the door open for me. I crossed the threshold carefully and glanced around the room. Everything seemed as normal and there didn’t seem to be any weirdness in the air. Once the door was closed behind us, Asher took a seat at his desk and turned his attention to a stack of documents in front of him. I’d half-expected his steel-like gray eyes to glare at

Chapter 47 Pet store

CASSANDRAAs the days went by, I couldn’t get the cold look on Asher’s face out of my mind. It lingered there like a ghost and haunted my every move.The way he’d dismissed me, the way his lips had drawn into a thin line…But what else had he expected me to do? I didn’t want to stay here or compete with Adalyn for his affection. I wanted to complete my research, find a cure for the Alpha King’s mysterious condition, and leave Anemond for good.And yet, the image of Asher’s face made my heart wrench.“Mommy!” Finnick called out and interrupted my thoughts. I shifted my attention to my son and forced a smile. He was dressed up in brand new clothes and his normally serious face was bright and cheery.Though I tried to replicate his enthusiasm, he saw through me right away, and his smile turned into a frown.“Mommy,” he complained. “What’s wrong? You’ve been so distracted.”It was an intelligent observation and I knew I needed to save face.“I’m sorry baby,” I apologized. “I’ve just been

Chapter 48 Kidnapper

CASSANDRA As the shopkeeper stared at us expectantly, a pit formed in my stomach. I wanted to turn down the man’s offer and was about to open my mouth to do just that, but before the words could leave my mouth, Finnick jumped excitedly. “Yes!” he declared, and then he whipped back around to look at me. “Just one look, Mommy, pleaaaaaase?” My son’s storm-gray eyes were as wide as the puppies’ in the window. He wasn’t normally one to beg so I was a little taken aback by his demeanor, but I was struggling to refuse his request. It wasn’t very often we were able to do something like this. “You don’t have to take one home with you today, kind lady,” the shopkeeper addressed me gently. “You’re more than welcome to join the boy and look.” I considered the idea for a moment and then nodded. “Thank you for your kindness.” I took Finnick’s hand in mine and the two of us followed the man into his shop. As we crossed the threshold, I couldn’t help but remember being here when I was young. T

Chapter 49 Saved by a stranger

CASSANDRA Finnick cried in my arms and I wanted to soothe him, but we had to get as far away from this situation as possible. The back door of the shop out into a small alley. There was little room between the buildings at all, but I could spy a way out in the distance. I just needed to get us back out to the main street, and then we could disappear into the crowd of people and leave the crazed man and woman behind. “Hang tight, baby,” I urged Finnick as I braced him against me. He sobbed quietly in my arms but kept his grip around me obediently. “M-Mommy, who are those people?” he whimpered as he buried his head into my neck. “Why are we running?” “I don’t know, honey,” I said. “Just stay quiet and close your eyes.” The young woman suddenly rushed out into the alley with us. I continued to walk backward slowly. “Please,” I begged her. “We don’t have to do this. We could forget about this entire thing-” “I don’t think so,” the young woman retorted, her eyes full of venom as th

Chapter 50 King of Yurene

CASSANDRAAs much as I wanted to return to the palace on my own, I couldn’t deny Kaleb’s offer to escort Finnick and me. The tall man was kind and besides, he was flanked by a group of muscular men who could defend us against any further threats. I couldn’t allow myself to risk Finnick’s safety again.As we walked, I couldn’t help but wonder who Kaleb was. The foreign man had to be someone important if he had all of those guards to attend and protect him. Everything about him was poised and proper, and I admired the strong way he held himself as he strode. Normally, those with a stature that tall tended to slouch to make themselves smaller. But Kaleb held himself regally and proud.Kaleb chattered on as we moved through the thrall of the market. He was making many observations about our surroundings and about Anemond in general, which told me he was new to our lands. Every person we passed by stared at him with curiosity. I couldn’t blame them. Their height, hair, and attire made them
