ASHER

Much to my surprise, Silas didn’t protest this time. He obediently nodded his head and after a long, lingering glance, the Beta retreated immediately. I’d expected resistance, but then again, Silas likely didn’t know how to deal with this situation. He was incredibly intelligent, but when it came to emotional hardships, he wasn’t well-equipped.

Once he was gone. I gave Kane a cold glance and then a scoff.

“What do you have to say to me?” I wondered and I fought the urge to roll my eyes.

“What’s so important that you had to dismiss Silas?”

Though I knew it was cruel of me to think that way, Kane’s weary face irritated me greatly. I knew I was being unreasonable and acting childishly, yet I couldn’t control myself. The stakes were far too dire and I wasn’t sure what was going on.

I lost my temper when Kane mentioned Cassandra. Was my stepbrother trying to remind me how useless I was at this point? I didn’t understand his intentions, which only made my own emotional issues far worse.

Perhaps my anger came from immense jealousy. As much as I hated to admit it, in the past, I had been jealous of any man who seemed to know Cassandra better than me. Kane, Kaleb, Rayden… I had been extremely weary and jealous of all of them. They all acted as if they knew her better, as if they could see through her heart.

If only Cassandra could see me now, I lamented bitterly, and I tried to summon the image of her lovely face in my mind. Her long, gorgeous hair, her full lips, her big emerald eyes… would such a stunning beauty still find me attractive? Or would she see a terrible monster before her? If I were to touch her, would she recoil? Would she find me the most despicable man alive?

“If you want to stop me from going to the North, you should hold your breath,” I advised. “I’m not going to change my mind on the matter. As soon as I recover from my current condition, I’m going to resume my journey-”
