Chapter 164: Sansa' Gift

Silas.

The moment I had left Cassie last night, my heart abso- lutely broke. She was everything I ever wanted, and though she reminded me so much of Anna, I didn't want her to think the only reason why I was with her was because she reminded me of Anna.

Anna and I had a relationship far beyond what a normal guard would have with his charge, but with it, that was all it was. A sexual relationship with no emotional attachment be- cause I was not her mate, nor would I ever have been.

Granted, after Anna died, I absolutely broke into pieces, the emotions of losing her too much for me to bear. I begged fate to give me a chance to have a mate of my own, one who looked like Anna and had her kind heart, but with the fire of an internal dragon inside of them.

I knew it was a long shot for me to actually have a mate who filled all of those things, but the moment I laid eyes on Cassie, I knew without a doubt she was exactly what I had been waiting for.

She was sarcastic and witty. She was beautiful, and even though she had a rough exterior that was nothing but walls she had built over the years, she had the kindest heart I had ever seen in any one.

She was the type of woman you wanted to spend the rest of your life with, and the fact her mate treated her the way he did disgusted me. He didn't deserve her, and perhaps fate bringing her to me was the reason why he had rejected her.

At least that was what I hoped for.

The moment I had stepped into our room, when I saw her brother Pollux and his mate Trixie-a girl that I had known for many years - standing in the room with no Cassie in sight, I felt in the pit of my stomach something had happened to her.

Of course Pollux would act like he did, and Trixie would have to get into the middle of our situation to ensure neither of us killed each other. But when I saw the blood, it all made sense.

My love for her was not enough to keep her safe, and I should have fought harder to stay with her last night, I could understand why her brother would be angry and assume the worst of me.

"Call your witch, Trixie," I said softly, staring at her mate with an absolutely distant and voided expression, unable to even think in that moment because the realization of Cassie being gone wasn't something I wanted to believe in.

I was in love with a woman I couldn't have and as I turned away from Pollux and Trixie, I cast my eyes out over the city, looking down below at Asgard, wondering who it was that could possibly want to hurt a woman as kind as her.
