Chapter 1 Emergency
CASSANDRA

“Please let me see Asher. Please…” I begged.
“How dare you speak the name of our king!” The soldiers growled and grabbed my hair, forcing me to raise my head. They were like shadows towering over me.
“Please. I need to talk to him. I’m pregnant. I have his baby!” I cried.
The head soldier snorted. “Baby? You think you’d be qualified to deliver a baby for our king? Filthy whore! He won’t come to you anymore. Don’t you understand? He’s with Lady Adalyn. Now drink it!”
“No!”

Burning. I began to gag.
“Die! You wretched moron.” They spat at me before slamming the door. And I heard the click of the lock.
I struggled to move, but my eyes felt swollen, and my legs were strengthless. The smell of smoke quickly filled the room.
Fire engulfed me.

I remembered their innocent happiness well. When I had been a pup myself, I’d been infinitely impatient and raced far ahead of my father and brother, urging them the entire way to move faster. I’d been so excited to get a glimpse of the hunting group I wished to one day be a part of. I was eager to find my place amongst the Pack.
