❀° ┄───────╮ Sylphiette ╰───────┄ °❀I pushed the door open and walked into Cassius’s office.The space greeted me again, and the earlier confrontation flashed through my head, stirring up emotions—anger, mostly. But emotions can be funny, especially when you're in a space filled with this man’s presence.I knew that and yet I couldn't stop myself from walking into his office for the second time this morning when he urged me in. I told myself I was here to scold him for his effrontery yet again.But the moment I walked in, Cassius’s scent, mixed with the crisp air, hit me like a tidal wave, filling up my senses, stirring sensations yet again that I had kept locked and buried deep inside me.The man standing in front of his desk turned and I was hit with a familiar presence. Then my gaze locked with his and they grew wide with recognition.Gilles. His trusted Beta and best friend.I had barely seen him in the weeks that I’ve been recuperating and once when Cassius had inter

❀° ┄───────╮ Sylphiette ╰───────┄ °❀My back collided against the door the moment I left Cassius’s office, dragging a low, sizzling breath out of me.I should have known but I still didn't think that his presence would still have such an effect on me. I thought I hated him but my body had betrayed me in more ways than one.In the end of it all, I had agreed to stay in Cassius’s pack… for Kian’s sake. I didn't know how long this situation was going to drag out but I hoped it wouldn’t be for a time too long.Although Cassius had made me a promise; not just for protection but he’d assured me that no one would take my son away from me—even after this ordeal was over—and neither would he. But could I really trust that he wouldn't.His promise didn't change the fact that he had the pride of an Alpha. Would he really let me walk away with his only heir in hand? He’d realized it since the moment he saw Kian and my admission a moment ago only confirmed it.I sighed, shaking my head

╔═━─────━▒ Cassius ▒━─────━═╝The moment a distinct floral scent with a hint of vanilla hit me, I knew she was here. My head snapped up, and my gaze instantly locked with her soft blue eyes, which effortlessly held mine captive.I had been scrolling through my phone, reading the recent report that my Beta, Gilles had emailed me moments ago on the mystery case with the mutilated child—the one Zenya had so blatantly accessed Sylphie of.So far, we haven't been able to come up with any conclusive results—not the killer, nor the reason why—except speculations about what could have possibly caused harm to the child.He’d be brutally killed. Almost unrecognizable if not for the matching DNA sample scans and other tests that had been checked. The claw marks on the child’s body had been savagely left. It was hard to tell what had happened, the report had stated that the doctors had never seen such savage markings before—whoever or whatever had done this. And more disturbingly, there was t

❀° ┄───────╮ Sylphiette ╰───────┄ °❀Last night was a blur after dinner with Cassius.I had carried Kian back to the room the moment he finished eating. I told myself it was because I needed to put him to bed early but really, it was just so I could avoid further confrontations with Cassius.And afterwards, I had barely slept. Our conversation kept echoing in my head-spiraling until I had started pacing about the large confines of my bedroom. Admittedly, I had acted out rashly. I’d said some things that shouldn’t have been said-and I wasn’t giving an excuse but, that’s what happens when you live the kind of life that I did and suddenly you had to face the source of it.Its… overwhelming.And not just in the ‘seeing him again after all these years’ sense of it. It was everything. His looks, his smile, his eyes, his scent-everything. All of him. It’s been overwhelming to the point of insanity. And the fact that he acted like he cared… deeply, truly cared. It pulled at my def

❀° ┄───────╮ Sylphiette ╰───────┄ °❀My lips pulled apart on that account and I held his gaze to reassure myself I didn’t hear wrong.Bright, simmering hazel orbs stared back at me. Patiently, quietly. As though letting me truly process his words, to find the truth and earnestness them.My breath knotted in my throat, my breath sealing from my lungs that I actually felt a chill slide down the inner walls of my body. I blinked, sucking in a breath. I took a slow step back, pulling my hands away from his hold.“You’re not just saying that, are you?” I muttered. “I mean… you're not trying to lay a claim on kian through me.” My insecurities washed over me.Cassius’s response was immediate. “What—no. Never,” he took a step closer to close the gap between us and I put out a hand to stop him. Cassius immediately halted in his tracks. It faulted almost mechanically. “I told you before… I’d never let anyone take him from you,” he reaffirmed softly, staring intently at me. “and that
