Chapter 37: Did He Just Smile?

Haylia only politely smiled at her son and didn't argue with his decision. She was a very smart woman and her son was drunk on the new mate bond. She had to give him time before she would speak with him. 

"Call me if you need anything," she calmly murmured before taking her leave and closing the door. 

"You don't have to stay with me for the whole day. You might have duties. I am better now," Cassandra spoke, loving how tenderly his fingers brushed up and down her arm. 

The way he had calmed her agitated heart earlier, the newfound greediness in her wished for more of such delectable touches. 

"You are the paramount duty for me right now and I will stay until I ensure your life is out of danger." His hands kept her confined to his flesh as he slowly dipped and buried his slim nose into the pit of her clavicle, breathing in her scent that was pushing him towards the sea of madness.
