He was also aware of her hot breath against his skin. The unrestrained heartbeat. She was still quiet and it wasn't his usual behaviour. Cassie wanted to cry.

Ah, he was the captain of Gaia and as for her… The girl couldn't be that innocent. He wasn't going to let her walk away, not this time.

"Calm. You will scare her."

He knew very well what he wanted. He was fed up with this life of attacks. He longed to return to his homeland. Walkthrough its forests, show her your home. He was going to assume his position as leader of the wolves. She would be chosen by him.

He was a wretch who never knew how to say no. The typical savages who lived amid drink, courtesans and games. There were few comments about his romance with Corner. And he still hid in the human church like any heretic from ancient traditions.

-We are fine. Philip was arrested. Authorities were already watching the whole thing. I doubt he had much influence to escape Muir's justice. We both made it. Together. Together we can beat this miserable...

-Still... I don't want him around. You know as well as I do... He can't be trusted...

-Cassie..., honey, the list of charges...against Phil... There was harassment against you. Blackmail and extortion. The dead girl... They say it was the...
