Sihana’s POV

and that was how I won‘ Sebastian’s life.

“You want to decide his punishment?” A faint spark of usement shone in Cahir’s eyes. “Alright, let’s hear it.”

“Since – Since he is my guard,” I stuttered, feeling hot all of a sudden. “He is my guard so I’m responsible. for him.”

“Don’t you think it’s the reverse, Sihana? As your guard, he is responsible for your safety.”

“Yeah, but you gave him to me already. I’ll decide his punishment.” I stared Cahir head on and then he sighed.

“Very well” Even the walls in the room were surprised at how easily he agreed. This same man had been raging to have Sebastian’s fingers chopped off one at a time, or whatever evil he had planned and now, he was letting him go. “What punishment will he be getting?”

“Let him go. His punishment will be settled between us Cahir looked at me, and I forced myself to look -back at me. His eyes seemed to remind me that he had more of a say on what happened to Sebastian than

I did but after a minute of staring each other down of just staring, he nodded.

“You heard her, didn’t you?” His cold words were directed at Sebastian. The bloodied mass gave a small movement in acknowledgement. “She will decide your fate. Until then, never appear in my sight.”

Cahir took my hand and led me out of the dungeons. I didn’t realize just how much that place stank until we were out of there and I took a deep breath for the first time in over thirty minutes.

“It stinks badly.” I wrinkled my nose as we walked back to the pack house. People instinctively froze as we walked past or moved to the other side of the road.

“It smells like roses and flowers now compared to what it used to smell like,” Cahir snorted, the sound unlike him.

I wanted to say something. There were so many things on my lips that I wanted to ask but the fear of offending him or making him remember unpleasant things made me fidget. It was the first time I ever felt this way the urge to protect someone. It was almost laughable.

A small fry like me, what could I do for Cahir? He had everything and if there was anything he didn’t have, he had the power to get it. There was nothing in the world that was outside his grasp – such was the power of the Alpha of Alpha Blood pack. He was almost invisible, untouchable and unstoppable. No army in the world rivalled that of this pack but I wanted to protect him.

“You have a strange look on your face.” I raised my head to look at my mate.

Laura’s words rang in my head at that moment and then more than ever, I wanted our mating to work. I wanted Cahir Armani to be happy. A man that had everything in the world, how could I guarantee his happiness? Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

I gripped his hand holding mine and his eyes flickered from my face to our clenched hands, then back up. to my face.

“Have you fallen in love with me already?” The words were low and emotionless but they struck a nerve. I didn’t think it would be this easy, never expected falling in love could be so simple.

“No,” I answered the man blocking the ray of sun above me. “I haven’t.” It was the truth but not the complete truth. I wasn’t in love with him… yet. But I could see myself falling. I felt myself nearing the edge

of no return.

It wasn’t unusual, wasn’t something unheard of mates were supposed to love each other but wasn’t I saying just the other day that I couldn’t love a man like Calir?

“Good.” His blunt words made me swallow. “It won’t be good for you if you do.”

“Why not?” The question slipped from my lips as surprise struck me.

“You’ve seen my eyes.” The implication of that statement wasn’t lost on me. I’d seen his eyes. I was the only one who knew how close he was to losing his sanity and succumbing to the bloodlust of his animal side.

“I may be weak, Cahir,” I murmured, walking beside him back to his office. “But not so weak that I would be unable to yank you off the edge. His eyes snapped to me and I swallowed.

Yes, a single blow could get me on the ground but I knew when to stand and when to dodge.

Ldecided then that yes, I would heal the ruthless alpha, after all, he was mine, scars and all.

Asena purred.

It was obvious that Cahir was a man who only ever did what he wanted and I was not someone used to ordering people around or interfering in people’s lives but it was a good thing that I was a fast learner.

The most pressing matter now was to make sure Cahir did not give into bloodlust. As the Alpha of such a pack, it would be difficult. Uneducated about wolf insanity and rogues, I didn’t know much another the topic but I’d heard that before people turned rogue, they started to hear voices in their heads, voices that urged them to do despicable things and the more they gave into that voice, the closer they got to turning feral. Cahir already had such voices.

To educate myself about bloodlust, I’d have to read about it. I couldn’t ask people as this wasn’t something to be careless about. My mate’s life would be in jeopardy if anyone ever found out how close to the edge he was. Then, without a doubt, his enemies would use that information to find a way to drive him over the edge in the nick of time.

First, I had to make sure Cahir didn’t kill any more people, that way, he wouldn’t be feeding his bloodlust and making it stronger. Next, I had to find out everything I could about bloodlust to find a way to inch him back from the edge.

“How do you get an Alpha to stop killing?” I murmured.

That’s almost impossible,” Asena answe

Whether rogues, traitors, challengers or enemies, Alphas were in charge of exerting punishment for these people. It was easier to cut down a budding enemy as ruthlessly as possible, that way future

problems f that person would be averted. For a pack like Alpha Blood that had rogues and people alike trying to take over, it was inevitable that a few people died at the Alpha’s hands.

“Can’t someone else be in charge of this, at least?” I asked, frustrated as I mulled over possible options.

“You may as well find someone else to be the Alpha if you’re considering stripping him of his basic duty. Asena grumbled.

“What are you doing?” I jumped at the sound of the voice, slamming my note shut as if it contained incriminating evidence when in reality I’d only written one sentence.

“How did you get into my room?” I asked Cahir as he strode in.

“The door.” He gestured to the heavy door behind him I knocked but you didn’t answer. I came in and called your name twice but you were deep in thought. He brushed his lips against my check as he pulled me out of my seat, seated himself and then pulled me down on his thighs.

“Ahem, I cleared my throat, resting my hand on my book.

“What were you doing that had you lost in thought?” He gently pushed my hand off the book and opened it, then he read the only sentence I managed to write.

Do not kill people.

“Who are you convincing yourself not to kill?” He asked. Sitting on him was enough to get me

einbarrassed but the fact that I had been caught doing something I wanted to keep a secret made me even more embarrassed.

“No It’s just that I looked at the words and trailed off.

“Is it the people of Silver Moon?” He asked then his voice dipped low. “I already told you I would take care of them.”

*No – There’s no point for that. It’s

from

“Originally, I was going to play a small game with Kade but now I am impatient. He tried to kidnap you,” he growled low in his chest, his eyes flashing red. It was unlike Cahir to let his expressions run away him like this. He was someone who looked calm even when he was obviously about to rend his human form so to see him express himself even with his facial features, I felt he was opening up to me.

“I don’t think Kade was behind that,” I muttered. I hated Kade but I knew he wasn’t foolish enough to try to kidnap me. By my guess, he should be focused on the transition of power in his pack while simultaneously trying to join hands with Cahir’s enemies for the off chance Cahir attacked. He wasn’t a man to put himself before his pack so he wouldn’t do something so obviously ill–thought out. After all, if anything happened to me, he would be the first suspect.

“I know he isn’t the one. I haven’t found the culprits yet but for now, I have a valid reason to raze Silver Moon to the ground.”
