CASSANDRA

After what felt like an eternity of hearing about the event, Ronald and Helene’s wedding day came.

Aside from the new guests who had arrived early in the morning, everyone was invited to visit Ronald’s residence and have lunch with the happy couple.

Just as I had yesterday, I’d decided to take a walk around the castle grounds, and as I roamed about, I shivered. The weather wasn’t ideal for a wedding. It was incredibly dismal and cloudy, not to mention windy, with no sun shining through the thick layer of clouds. It looked like it could rain at any given moment. I doubted there would be a visible moon in the sky when the night came.

In the South, werewolf couples had to make their vows beneath the moon, otherwise, it was believed the marriage would be doomed. It was a superstition, most likely, but still, it was an important thing to my people.

But the Northerners didn’t seem to care about such traditions. I heard no mentions of the moon at all amongst the guests or anyone else in the castle.

When the sky grew darker, the guards approached me and recommended that I go back to my room, but I wanted to stay. I hadn’t brought Finnick or Lila with me today. I needed some quietness to contemplate my next moves and my son had been overly excited from the moment he’d awoken. Though he liked nothing about the North, he was very much looking forward to the wedding.

I couldn’t blame him. Every kid loved big events with colorful balloons and joyful people, and Finnick was no exception.

Ms. Benn hadn’t brought Lila to our room this morning since we’d all be attending Ronald’s wedding tonight and she would be on duty until very late. Her daughter had been placed under the care of a maid who wasn’t going to serve tonight. I supposed it was an excuse. Ms. Benn was probably afraid I was going to do something bad tonight and didn’t want Lila to get involved.

I didn’t blame her, but I couldn’t care less about any of them now. The only thing that occupied my mind was Asher’s condition.

King’s condition had raised a serious new issue. I had planned
