Chapter 44: His Secrets

"I saw you in my dream. Bright as a sunny day and smiling like a morning flower which had just bloomed. I knew you were mine and when I told my mother. She confirmed you were indeed my mate." Siroos smoothly told her but his eyes held this forlorn look. 

In reality, he never wished to find his mate, knowing what a difficult life she would have to live. He had chosen the path to walk alone. 

Cassandra bent her legs and crossed her arms over them. His words warmed her heart and even mesmerised her that he had gone to seek her out. 

She asked, "How did your mother confirm it?" 

Siroos had taken some cleaning herbs combined in a liquid and was now rubbing them in her soft hair as he explained. 

"She came from a mage family. Although her magic is not very strong, she can make premonitions and sometimes prophecies. The gods whisper to her at times, revealing their secrets or what they need to be done."
