Chapter 30: Feeding Her

Haylia's expression slightly soured at her son's words. Since she was the one who had taken the initiative to place the black line on Cassandra, she took it personally. 

Cassandra was an unmarked female and there was nothing wrong with following the tradition that their whole pack did. 

"Cassandra is still unmarked, so it was appropriate to follow the tradition," Haylia addressed her son, but in a very subtle and quiet tone. She didn't let any of her disapproval reflect in her voice. 

Siroos, who was lost in staring at his mate, tore his eyes away and turned to face his mother. 

"Ma, I understand. But I don't want any black marks or any marks on her skin. Let that decision rest with me." The firmness of his tone revealed he didn't wish to discuss this topic any further. 

"As your wish. I will always respect that," Haylia answered, plastering a smile on her wisdom-ridden face.
