The Long Awaited Speech

Was it love? Mate? A legit connection? Perhaps obsession?

It was surprising that went through the minds of those who knew about Asher and Cassie's abrupt bond.

Cassie was aware that everyone was waiting and yet she couldn't bring herself to speak. Her eyes darted around the room as she searched for one person, Asher Fay. She couldn't help but wonder whether Asher had done what he said he would. 

Leaving. 

She couldn't allow that. 

She turned to her mother and sent her a message, (mom, what exactly did you do to Asher?)

Luna River's head shot up. Her breath hitched. Her daughter's tone didn't sound like the one she knew. She looked at her mate worriedly. (We need to find out what is going on between Asher and our daughter as soon as possible.) She sent a mind-link to Alpha Rowan. 

(Let me send someone to call him. You should start talking.) Luna River said staring at her daughter's back.

(Please.) That was Cassie's reply.
