POV: Alessia De Luca Volkov
“Leave before I forget who you are.”
The words should have sent me running. Every instinct I possessed screamed at me to turn around, every story I had ever heard about werewolves ended with blood. Every warning, every whispered rumor, every terrified glance from the guards outside.
All of it told me the same thing.Run. Yet I remained exactly where I was because somewhere beneath the silver eyes and snapping chains stood the same man who had crossed an entire tunnel to save me. The same man who had transformed into a nightmare to keep me alive.
The same man who had looked at me and said:
You’re becoming my weakness.
A chain groaned,metal shrieked against stone. Cassian’s entire body jerked as another wave of pain rolled through him.I flinched.
“Cassian”
