Chapter 242 

CASSANDRA 

When I awoke. I couldn’t move. I tried to stretch my limbs and make sense of where I was, but it was impossible. I felt as if I was tightly bound to a bed, strapped down with no hope of excipe. It was dark, so I couldn’t tell for sure, but I wondered if maybe I was in the bed that I had seen in Raven’s lab in the prison tower. 

My breath was so thin that I felt as if I could die at any second. My b*dy was burning, a horrible, aching feeling that I never wanted to experience again. It was almost like I had returned to the inferno in Rosepetal. Maybe I had never truly been saved at all, and everything that had happened to me past the point of the blaze was nothing more than a mere hallucination before death. 

Suddenly, I felt my inner wolf groan. A painful groan, followed by anger. 

“Why have you been so weak and cowardly?” she growled at me, her voice fierce like Cora’s. “Where has your warrior’s spirit gone?” 

She then scolded and cursed me. “You aren’t this person. You aren’t a weakling. You’re a daughter of Felix, not some small. sniveling common wolf. So, why are you acting like this?” 

I wanted to speak to reply back to her and tell her what had happened to me, but I couldn’t. I didn’t have the strength to do so. My b*dy was completely numbed, though my mind was clear. If only I could call out to her with my thoughts and reassure her. tell her that deep down within me, I was the same warrior I’d always sworn to be. I’d tell her that even though I’d merely served as a healer since the blaze had taken my life from me, that hadn’t meant that I wasn’t a fighter. 

But then again was I still a fighter? 

Had 1 cast aside my warrior instinct in favor of surviving? 

Suddenly, my wolf appeared before me. Her thick, plush fur was snow white, her b*dy was muscular and strong. Her eyes were the same green as mine. My wolf form was just as beautiful as it had always been 

I admired her for a moment and felt a longing in my soul. Seeing her again was like coming home. 

My wolf stopped cursing and shouting and simply glared at me with her glowing eyes. 

must fight now, she insisted as she took a step toward me. “Fight for our mate, our country, and our future You cannot hade in the shadows and be a coward anymore” 

Suddenly, I heard the sound of a machine a series of fast beeps accompanied by voices in the far distance. 

Sure I wasn’t sure if I was dreaming or not. I couldn’t tell it had opened my eyes, though I knew I probably hadn’t. 

I saw my soundings

Then, I heard Kaleb. “Stop this. This is too much, Raven,” 

“This is what has to be done if you want to get it.” she argued. “I won’t lose this opportunity, Kaleb. You should trust me

Then, there was a screech I didn’t know what happened, but the space was filled with horrified gasps and angry mumbles Suddenly, I felt someone lift my b*dy, holding me away from the bed, but the moment I rose from the mattress, my min went blank again, and I sl*pped back into oblivion. 

When I finally woke up. I wasn’t in the lab, but I wasn’t in my own chambers either. I was in a large room with a high ceilir that had an elaborate mural of the Moon Goddess upon it. I stared at it for a moment in wonder and then I heard Kaleb’s 

voice. 

“You’re awake,” the king of Yurene stated, his tone lacking any sort of emotion 

I moved slightly and turned my attention away from the mural. Kaleb was standing not too far away, his navy blue eyes unamused as they regarded me. 

I opened my mouth to speak, but my throat was too dry. Kaleb immediately grabbed a glass of water from a table and brought it to me. As I carefully sipped from it, I regained some of my energy. 

I suddenly remembered that when I’d fainted, I was on Ronald’s terrace. Would that make Kaleb suspicious? Did this mean that our alliance had been exposed? 

ר 

I expected Kaleb to question me, to demand that I confess, but instead, he asked me nothing. He took a seat on the chair beside me and leaned forward. 

“You fainted because you aren’t used to the weather in Vlokwell,” he assessed. “You’ve been exhausted these days. I may have pushed you too hard, and for that, I’m sorry Cassandra. 

He rose from his chair and stared down at me. His golden brown hair fell loosely over his shoulders and gleamed under the light that streamed in from the window. He was dressed more casually than usual, and I was surprised at the sight of him. Despite his cool demeanor, he seemed fairly calm, if not bored. His expression didn’t seem like one of anger or betrayal.. so had he not suspected anything after all? 

“I had Raven check your condition and you’re fine, though I didn’t send you to your room because I didn’t want to worry your son Kaleh revealed. “The last thing I wanted was for him to get upset over nothing, though I wouldn’t blame him. He’s been under much stress, as you so clearly have been.” 

Though part of me thought it was incredibly considerate that the Northern king had considered the feelings of my son, a lump formed in my throat as the rest of his statement settled in 

So, it wasn’t a hallucmation? Were the machines, the tubes, all of it were they real? Had it been real? Were the researchers studying me, probing around, and trying to push me to some sort of extent? 

I simply nodded, unable to do much more. 

My mind continued to spin in circles as I tried to understand what exactly had happened to nie. Ed supposed that my wolf had been a parafestation of whatever my bram was trying to sort through, but the rest? What was all of that about? 

“M. konn will get you something to eat Eatch continued and then he turned and 

tradict himmelt on the doorway and spoke over balasubder 

I don’t thank you should go to Homald a place spate, he alsised 

I toward the door. Before he left 

to host among “My.com and Helene will be
