Chapter 240
ASHER
Much to our dismay and agitation, the sorceress mouth was very tight. No matter what we tried. Kane and | 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 | knew she was from his country.
As we continued our interrogation, | grew worried about Ss 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 Ss and Kane. Ss 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 syble out of her
mouth.
As much as | didn’t want to admit it. Ss 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 aplice? Surely she wasn’t
alone in her mission, and | wasn’t sure what else could happen if she were to get loose.
But there was one other thing | was concerned about, one | didnt vocalize to Kane and Ss. 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 | 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.
| didn’t speak as Kane and Ss 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 shing
intensely as he stared at Ss. “Is that a risk that you’re willing to take, Ss?”
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.
While we all knew Kane’s suggestion was not very possible, we couldn’t eliminate the possibility because we didn’t know the
sorceress intention. The only thing we knew for certain was that she had no intention to kill me, otherwise, she would have just
used some type of deadly poison or magic as she sat there before us.
So what did she want?
And what did her master want:

Chapter 210)
My eyebrows creased together. Do you know Cassandra Kellerhand how she is doing Is she safe
The sorceress snorted and rolled her eyes again. “I know nothing about the woman, except for the the queen soon
My stomach dropped and my jaw nearly fell with it.
“Queen” | repeated back coarsely as my throat tightened.
“My king is obsessed with the healer and couldn’t wait to im her as his, the sorceress remarked bitterly. She narrow. eyes at
me. “The king didn’t want her former lover to impede the wedding, so he sent me to kill you.”
Before | could realize what | was doing, | hinged and grabbed the sorceress by the throat. My ws extended and dug int the
soft skin of her neck, She let out a soft cry, but the pitiful sound meant nothing to me. My vision was tinted red with anger and |
could hardly think straight.
“Did Cassandra agree to marry him?” | demanded. 1
Despite my hold on her, the sorceress managed augh. “Why wouldn''t she agree? He’s the king of Yurene.
For the briefest moment, | considered squeezing further to silence the sorceress forever. It would be easy enough. | had a tight
grip around her and it wouldn’t take much to snap her neck. Though | wasn’t one for violence. | had no qualms about hurting this
would-be assassin.
But instead. | released my chokehold, and as she fell to the ground, the world around me began to grow blurry. The camps, the
soldiers. Ss, and Kane... all faded away. All | could see in my mind was Cassandra. Her big beautiful emerald eyes, her full
lips. | saw them fell me goodbye to me..
No. No, this couldn’t be. She couldn’t marry him.
| couldn''t let this happen. | had to see her.
| began to walk away without a second thought. In fact, | could hardly think at all, | was so consumed with my mission to see her.
| needed her in front of me right away, Wega be damned. What good was it reiming my throne if she would never be beside
me again?
Ss and Kane tried to get to stand in my way
to stop
“Asher, she’s lying,” Kane insisted. “She’s trying to agitate you. It’s all a trap-”
| growled and shoved him away, attacking them as if they were my enemies rather than my friends. While part of me wondered if
what the sorceress said was true or not, | couldn’t think straight. There was a strong chance that the woman was trying to vex
me since I''d thwarted her mission, but | didn’t care My natural instincts had taken over, and as | stood there in the forest, | didn’t
feel like myself anymore.
Without my mate, nothing was worth fighting for. I''d always known that and I never wanted to feel alone again. | needed her, no
matter what the cost. If she was angry with me foring after her, | would kneel at her feet and beg for her forgiveness. | would
kiss her a million times over and swear my endless love to her. The rest of the world didn’t matter. All | knew was that | had to
see Cassandra.
| had to make sure she was still mine, still my Cora
It was the only thought on my mind, the only one that t
truly mattered.
