Chapter 33

Nyssa pov

You know what? Spending the day with Cassian wasn’t as bad as I had expected. The difference was that he wasn’t constantly staring at me in silence, and no one crowded us like they did with Darius. Well, aside from the occasional women stopping to glance at the handsome man, but even that wasn’t too bad. All in all, it turned out to be actually fun.

We went to one of my favorite restaurants, ate, and chatted especially Serene, who seemed to be having a blast. She had a million questions about the king’s pack, which had been closed off to outsiders for centuries. To my surprise, Darius was kind enough to answer her questions without getting irritated. In fact, he seemed thrilled to talk about it.

That explained why we arrived back home so late. As we walked toward the packhouse, I could hear Serene’s excited voice trailing behind us, speaking to Cassian.

“Is it true that everyone from the king’s pack is really wealthy and no one is poor? I also heard that everyone is super attractive, like you and Sir Drake. Is that true?” Serene asked, her curious eyes sparkling with excitement. Both Cassian and I chuckled at her enthusiasm.

“Well, first of all, thank you for calling me attractive,” Cassian began, without missing a beat. “And secondly, I guess you could say most pack members are attractive. But, of course, not everyone is as good–looking as the king, Drake, Zayn and me. Those are just exaggerated rumors. Don’t believe everything you hear, kid.”

I rolled my eyes at his words. At this point, I was used to his bluntness, but that didn’t mean it didn’t still surprise me sometimes.

“Wow, really?! Then what about-” Before she could finish her sentence, I froze as we stepped into the packhouse. Both Cassian and Serene stopped beside me, following my lead. Sitting there, with a stern expression, was my father, flanked by his beta and gamma, Benjamin and Calen standing behind him. All their gazes were fixed directly on me.

Immediately, I felt the air grow heavy, a cold tension creeping over me as I met my father’s serious stare. I knew that look all too well, it meant I had done something wrong, and I was about to face his wrath.

“Huh? What did I do wrong?” I thought, confused. I couldn’t recall doing anything to upset my father… could I have?

For a moment, the silence lingered, thick with tension, as we all stood frozen, staring at one another until Cassian’s voice cut through the air, laced with mild amusement.

“Ah, I guess that’s my cue to leave.” He gave me a casual wave, a playful smirk tugging at his lips. “It was really nice spending the day with you and the kid. I can’t remember the last time I had such a decent evening out, so thank you. Goodnight, and I’ll see you tomorrow.” He waved at Serene, who had lowered her head, the previous excitement gone in an instant.

Before I could get a word in, Cassian strode into the packhouse, Benjamin and Calen offering him a brief, respectful bow. Despite being older, Cassian’s status as the king’s beta put him above them in rank. My father, however, gave him only a small nod as he passed, heading toward the quarters where the king was staying.

Well, I guess the evening was officially over.

I took a deep breath, puffed out my chest, and forced a smile before stepping forward.

“My favorite dad! How are you doing? What’s keeping you up at this hour?” I asked with an exaggerated grin as I walked

inside.

But the moment I stepped in, a chill ran down my spine. My father’s cold gaze locked onto me, narrowing with such intensity that my smile faltered, and I found myself swallowing back my words.

Yep, I’d definitely messed up, but whatever it was, I had no clue.

“Hm…” Before I could respond, my father turned his attention to Serene. Without saying a word, he simply tilted his head towards the other side, and she immediately understood.

Without hesitation, Serene bowed her head respectfully and headed upstairs, not sparing me a single glance.

My jaw dropped, watching her leave. I scoffed, irritation rising in my chest, before turning my gaze back to my father. The disapproving looks from Benjamin and Calen didn’t faze me.
