章 39: Letter From Lotus

The sullen mood of Siroos didn't elevate. Cassandra could sense whatever the elders had discussed with him had him displeased. 

"What's wrong?" Cassandra softly inquired, straightening up. He was softly holding her face. 

"We need to have our bonding ceremony earlier. I know this is too soon for you but it's essential for my pack and their survival," he informed her like a defeated man. 

Cassandra could sense the burdens of his heart and the love he held for his people. 

Siroos, on the other hand, had been forced by the elders of the pack to promptly take this action after the attack on Cassandra. If she died, the curse on them would never be lifted. 

But if Siroos were to mark her and declare her his Luna, the curse would only be limited to Siroos. As long as he will keep his oath.
