Chapter 90
Nyssa pou
“Do I have to ride with him I mean… can’t I go with you and Zayn?” Lasked, shooting a glance at Zayn, who chuckled at my words. Then my gaze drifted. toward the car Darius was in, and I sighed.
Cassian had told me I’d be riding with Danas, with brake driving us, while he, Zayn, and Serena would be going together in another vehicle.
And honestly? I didn’t want to go with Darius.
The thought of being alone with that man in the same car for four straight hours sounded like a nightmare.
“I’m sorry, my lady,” Cassian said with an apologetic smile. “But those were the king’s orders. He specifically asked for you to ride with him. There’s nothing I can do about it.”
I let out a groan at his words. What was going on in that man’s head? Why on earth would he want me in the same car with him? Didn’the hare my guts?
Still, I know there was nothing I could do about it. I had to follow whatever Darius wanted–ater all, I did say I’d be obedient.
“I’m sure sitting with the king isn’t as bad as you make it seem, Miss Nyssa,” Zayn said with a grin, and I almost rolled my eyes at his words.
“I’m sorry,” Cassian repeated, his smile still apologetic, though I knew it wasn’t his fault.
You and Sir Zayn.”
“Beta Cassian, can the lady and I switch seats?” Serena suddenly stammered. “I can sit with the Lycan king, and she can go with you
All eyes turned to her as she nervously lowered her head, fiddling with her dress, and couldn’t help but smile, she looked so adorably fustared.
IfI was uneasy around Darius, then Serena was downright terrified. Anytime he was near, I could practically fool the fear radiating off her. And yet, she still offered to sit with him, for me.
This girl…
“It’s fine, Sema. I sit with him,” I said softly, then turned to Cassian. “Please take care of her.”
Even though I knew nothing would happen, I wanted them to understand just how important Serena was to me
“Of course,”
“Cassian replied with a small smile
I took a deep breath before walking over to the car, opening the door, and slipping inside, closing it behind me.
As soon as I entered, the air around me seemed to turn cold, and i swallowed nervously before glancing at the man sitting beside me.
To be honest, when I said “car” earlier, I meant a freaking limo. Sure, rd been in one before but this? This was the biggest had ever seen. It even had a mini wine section with two bottles and two glasses, which made me think it had been arranged for Darius and 1.
A tinted glass divider was raised in front of us, separating the back from the driver’s seat. Drake couldn’t see us, and we couldn’t see him either. Basicaly. I was in a closed space with Darius for the next four hours.
The only good part? The lima was wide enough that I could move all the way to the furthest corner from him, which I did.
I took a deep breath and stole another glance at barius before quickly looking away as the engine started and the car began
Almost immediately, I heard a voice in my
mindlink.
“Take care of yourself, child of something happens, if you need your father, don’t hesitate to reach out to me
My father’s voice rang gently through my mind, and a smile tugged at my lips. I tumed toward the window, rolled it down, and weaned forward, just

enough to see him, Calen, and Benjamin standing in front of the slowly fading packhouse, watching the car pull away
Without hesitation, I stuck my head out and began waving
“You three better take care of yourselves! Don’t worry about me, I’ll be fine, come visit, alright?” I yelled at the top of my hom
I watched as my father and his beta and gamma smiled sokly, all waving back
I didn’t stop waving, not even as the packhouse blurred into the distance, I kept waving until I could no longer sew it
My lips trembled. And even though I’d promised myself not to get emotional… I couldn’t help it.
Thad just reunited with them and now here I was, already leaving again.
I bit my bottom lip, forcing myself not to cry. And in a low, determined whisper, I said,
“Just wait, Father, Everyone will live… I promise!
Then I leaned back inside the car, closed my eyes, and when I opened them again, they were emotionless.
I could feel his gaze ticker to me for a brief moment, but as usual, he didn’t speak.
which was good, you
asked me
Still, I wasn’t exactly in the best mood.
Not when everything from the past few days was starting to weigh so heavily on me.
If you asked me, I wasn’t sure how I was going to survive this car ride without breaking down…
So I needed a distraction.
And there was only one that came to mind.
Without thinking twice, I turned to Darius with a determined gare
When his eyes flickered to me, he raised a brow, watching silently.
I swallowed nervously under his sharp stare but still braced myself, pointing to the two bottles of wine on the bar as I spoke
i know this might sound rude… and weird,” I said quietly, “but if you don’t mind, may I have one bottle?”
My voice sounded steady, but inside, I felt small. Timid.
Sull, I needed it. I didn’t want to be sober right now
Darius raised a brow at my words, and for the briefest second, I thought I saw the corner of his lips twitch in amusement.
But I must have imagined it, because the next moment, he looked away and spoke, his voice
“Do as you wish. But do not speak to me. Do not come near me. Maintain your distance.”
I blinked, a little surprised that he actually responded at all.
He usually just ignored me completely.
low and cold.
Even if his words weren’t exactly pleasant, the fact that he acknowledged me at all was… something
My lips stretched into a grin as I nodded and roached for a bottle and a glass.
