Chapter 110
Nyssa pov
“Serena can’t come with us?” I asked, confused as I stared at the man before me.
After I woke up, whatever that had been, Serena and I had walked out of the massive packhouse, led by Sandra, and as soon as we stepped outside, a sleek car was already waiting.
Darius was inside, his eyes closed as if he were sleeping.
Drake was in the driver’s seat, he must’ve returned from wherever he went and when our eyes met, he gave me a small, polite smile in greeting.
Standing in front of me was Cassian, who’d just informed us that Serena couldn’t come along.
“Hmm… it’s the king’s order,” he said. “He only wants you with him. No… company.”
I narrowed my eyes at his words and turned to Serena, who looked worried. Her expression was tense, clearly nervous as she stared at Cassian.
“B–but Beta Cassian, can’t I just follow the lady?” she pleaded. “I promise I won’t cause a scene. I’ll be quiet, no one will even know I’m there. I’m just worried and don’t want to leave her alone.”
Cassian sighed and rubbed the back of his neck with an awkward smile.
“I wish I could let you, but it’s the king’s command, Serena. I’m sorry. You should stay back and maybe get to know the others in the packhouse. I think most of the maids are around your age.”
Serena frowned immediately, her disgust clear, like just the thought of socializing with them was repulsive.
“But–but-”
“I’m going to be okay, Serena,” I cut her off gently before she could go on.
If this was what Darius ordered, then no one could argue. Pushing it would only put Cassian in a tough spot.
“Nothing will happen,” I added with a small smile, even though I was freaking terrified inside. “I’ll come back soon, and then we can watch another movie, hm? So go back inside.”
But my smile stiffened.
Why didn’t Darius want Serena to follow? He didn’t seem like someone who cared enough to worry. So… what was his reason?
Where was he taking me?
A cold shiver ran down my spine.
He wasn’t planning to end me somewhere quiet, was he?
Even though I knew it wasn’t the case if Darius had wanted to kill me, he would’ve done it back at the Emberfang pack without
hesitation.
“Miss…” Serena’s voice trembled, her eyes glassy like she might cry, and guilt hit me.

Chapter 110
I had scared her earlier, talking like Darius might kill me.
“Go back, Serena,” I said more firmly now. “Don’t forget what pack we’re in.”
She sniffled and slowly lowered her head in submission, turning around and walking back toward the packhouse.
As soon as she disappeared, Cassian let out a deep breath and shook his head.
“That girl scares me for some reason,” he muttered.
I blinked and turned to look after Serena’s retreating figure.
“Serena? But she’s the sweetest,” I said, genuinely surprised.
The corner of Cassian’s mouth lifted into an amused smirk as he walked to the car door.
“Well, that’s true,” he said, “but the day we left the Emberfang pack, she spent the whole ride talking about how good of a person you were. She even asked both Zayn and me to take care of you once we got here.”
He opened the door, glancing over his shoulder. “She’s scary whenever it has to do with you.”
I watched him as he chuckled softly, my brows pulling together in confusion.
Then my gaze flickered to Darius, who still had his eyes closed, sitting silently on the other side of the seat. As I stared at him, everything seemed to blur around him for the briefest moment, and I found myself dazed.
Damn, this man was attractive. If it wasn’t for his shitty personality, I’d probably like him a lot more because of his face alone.
People liked pretty things, and I wasn’t an exception, especially when he was the most attractive man I had ever seen.
At that moment, the image of what happened yesterday in the car flashed in my mind, and I couldn’t help but blush when I remembered how good his fingers had felt deep inside me.
“Please enter, Miss,” Cassian called out.
I blinked, realizing he was watching me with a smirk, like he knew exactly what I was thinking. I quickly cleared my throat, face flushing as I thanked him and stepped into the car.
As soon as I did, Cassian closed the door and I inched closer to the opposite side, trying to create as much distance between us as possible.
Once Cassian climbed into the front passenger seat, Drake started the engine and we began driving off.
I swallowed nervously and took a quick glance at Darius, only to find him still resting with his eyes shut. I quickly looked away,. more specifically, out the window, trying to stay quiet, to not draw attention to myself.
It didn’t help that this was the same limo we had been in yesterday… when Darius and I did that thing.
“This is so awkward, I want to throw myself out of the car,” I whispered under my breath in frustration and almost immediately, I heard Sheila’s voice..
“Why don’t you throw yourself at him/instead, hehe,” she chuckted, and I froze.
“W–What are you saying?! Would you shut up?” I said through the mind–link, my face burning hotter.

“I mean, if you think about it, you never got to return the favor from yesterday. You came, but didn’t help him–”
“That was because he said he didn’t want me to!” I hissed, cutting her off.
“So you would have helped him if he asked?” she teased, and I could practically hear the smug smirk in her voice.
