Chapter 240

ASHER

Much to our dismay and agitation, the sorceress mouth was very tight. No matter what we tried. Kane and I cou answers out of her. She was well-trained and her expression refined eerily calm and aloof no matter what question

asked of her.

Thankfully, there were a few facts we knew to be true right away just by looking at her. It wasn’t difficult to surmise from her dress that she was from the North. She also shared the same tilt of her head that seemed to be a cultural gesture amongst the Yurenians. I’d seen Kaleb do the same thing many times while he was here in Anemond, so I knew she was from his country.

As we continued our interrogation, I grew worried about Silas and the soldiers, but luckily, after half an hour or so, they awoke from their magic-induced slumber. Apart from feeling a bit dizzy and disoriented, they seemed to be fine, but the atmosphere around camp was tense and unpleasant.

This Northern sorceress had caused a big quarrel between Silas and Kane. Silas thought the sorceress needed to be “dealt with” immediately, while my stepbrother believed she could be an important figure from whom we could get crucial information. The Beta, unsurprisingly, disagreed and thought Kane was idealizing the situation since we couldn’t get even a syllable out of her mouth.

As much as I didn’t want to admit it. Silas was right. The longer the sorceress was alive, the more dangerous things would be. Not to mention, she was a magic user. What if she used some sort of sorcery to contact her accomplice? Surely she wasn’t alone in her mission, and I wasn’t sure what else could happen if she were to get loose.

But there was one other thing I was concerned about, one I didnt vocalize to Kane and Silas. If the sorceress was sent from Yurene, would she know anything about Cassandra? Would her life or death affect Cassandra’s situation and livelihood in the savage Northern country?

Though I knew certain matters were objectively more pressing, Cassandra would always remain at the forefront of my thoughts. Though she wasn’t here, the beautiful healer was the most important thing to me, and she permeated my mind more than anything else.

I didn’t speak as Kane and Silas argued with one another until Kane blurted out a statement that made me stop in my tracks.

“What if the North does something bad to Cassandra because we killed this sorceress?” he demanded, his violet eyes flashing intensely as he stared at Silas. “Is that a risk that you’re willing to take, Silas?”

The Beta didn’t say anything. He ran his hand through his dark brown hair and then turned to face me. His golden irises were soft, as if he was sympathetic to Kane’s mention of my mate.
