Chapter 202 Love forever and always
I continued running in the forest. My lungs cried out in pain with every stride, but I didn’t want to stop, not now. Silas
raced alongside me, but I barely acknowledged his presence.
I wished this was a dream. I wished I could wake up and say that none of this was real, that I wasn’t in this position,
and that everything was alright. But this wasn’t a dream. It was a living nightmare.
Ca ssandra was leaving.
I couldn’t allow that to happen.
When Silas told me what was happening, I couldn’t believe him. I had frowned and stared at the Beta in complete
and total shock as his words set in. His golden. eyes had stared into mine with intensity and solemnity as he shared
the truth, and though I knew he was being honest, part of me wished he was just being duplicitous.
But he wasn’t. Ca ssandra had been taken by the king of Yurene hours ago. He’d stolen her away while I’d been
sedated by Adalyn at the military base.
Despite the heavy rain that likely delayed their departure, she had probably passed the borders of Wegalla and left
the country entirely.
Rationally, I knew it was unlikely that I would catch up to her. But I was still running anyway. I would go to the ends
of the earth for Ca ssandra.
As I dashed through the thick line of trees, I continued to ruminate on the situation. Despite his surname, I couldn’t

Before the Beta had told me that Ca ssandra had been taken by Kaleb, he

informed me that Ector was in stable condition. He had borrowed a car from the military base and had driven Ector
to Anemond. Once he arrived at the capital, he checked Cas sandra’s brother into Keller’s under a fake name and
arranged for a royal healer to look after him.
I was relieved that Ector was alright. His absence had been a major cause of concern and I was grateful that the
Beta had made sure he was safe and far away from Oliver Moses’ clutches.
But when he told me about Kaleb and his dastardly intentions, I’d lost all sense of calm and grabbed him by the
collar.
While I couldn’t blame the Beta for not being able to stop the Northern king, I was still angered.
At the end of the day, I couldn’t blame anyone but myself. It was my st upidity that made me lose her again. If I had
claimed her and made her my Luna…
But there was no point in considering the possibilities. She was leaving me, and
I was losing her. That was the only thing that remained in my mind. It was an imminent nightmare, and I knew that
my life was going to fall into darkness yet again.
So, I kept running.
I knew well that this was all possibly in vain. Ca sandra was probably well past the borders. But I couldn’t stop.
Following after her was the only thing that gave me hope.
After a while, I could taste blood in my mouth. I knew that my eyes were probably bloodshot and my muscles were
crying out in anguish. Even my claws ached, and I was certain they were bleeding as well.
Suddenly, in the distance, I saw a wooden house. I wasn’t sure if it was the same one I had seen when I was running
back to Anemond from the military base, but they looked very similar.
I remembered the figures I had seen and stopped in place. What if they hadn’t

been rogues as I’d suspected and were the diplomatic corps of Yurene? What if one of them had been Ca ssandra?
I couldn’t get the idea out of my mind and immediately dashed to the wooden house.
Silas followed suit and we shifted out of our wolf forms and into our human
ones.
As we entered the house, Silas flipped a switch and lit up the entry, and we quickly spotted ash and dry wooden

concern.
“Someone lit a fire here,” he noted. “But they must have left a while ago. The ground is cold now.”
I nodded but didn’t speak.
Since it was only meant to be a place to stop and rest, there were only two rooms in the wooden house. I
approached the first door on the left, and when I stepped inside and flipped the light switch, I found a folded piece
of paper lying on the floor as if it were waiting to be picked up.
I grabbed it and my heart ski pped a beat when I saw my name written on the
front.
To Asher Collins.
A lump formed in my throat and my hands began to shake.
It was written in Cas sandra’s handwriting.
I held my breath for a moment and my head began to ache. I steeled the worst and my claws dug deep into my
hands as I opened the letter.
