One Month to Win Me Back
NARRATOR
The Omega lost control, consumed by the memories dragging her back to that moment.
She tore free of Isidora’s arms and got to her feet on the mattress, grabbing the pillows and hurling them at Cassian.
He only stared at her, letting every blow hit him, feeling completely broken.
“I curse the moment the Moon bound me to such a cruel man! You couldn’t even do the dirty work yourself, you pathec excuse for a man…!”
Everyone froze at Elessia’s furious outburst.
She pounded on Cassian’s chest and slapped him.
The scent of her male’s blood filled the room when Elessia let her wolf’s claws slide out and raked his face with another stap.
“Elessia, nooo!”
Isidora finally reacted.
She expected Cassian to grab Elessia’s wrists, but he simply stood there and let her blame him for everything.
“Isidora…”
The King’s firm voice stopped her.
Isidora looked at Vhaelor, and he shook his head.
“But…”
“Cassian, tell your mate the truth. Tell her in front of witnesses who can defend you.”
Vhaelor looked at him from where he stood off to the side, his voice booming/through the room and silencing everyone.
Only Elessia’s broken sobs and rapid breathing could be heard.
The force of the King’s command had stopped her, but only for a moment./
“The truth? What truth could you possibly tell me? And don’t try to tell me it was some illusion or spell… I won’t believe your lies! You know how I screamed in that place…”
More tears spilled from Elessia’s eyes as she wrapped her arms around herself, around her belly, feeling that pain all over again.
Everyone in the room felt her anguish.
But Isidora and the other women held themselves back from interfering. The two of them had to work this out.
“The truth is that I couldn’t protect you. That I doubted, even if only for a second, whether choosing you as my Queen was
he right thing to do…” Cassian let it all out.
dn’t put a stop to my mother’s ambitions even though I knew she would never approve of you. That instead of
a throne I didn’t even want, I should’ve been protecting you from those fucking men.”
Then Don’t pretend you’re innocent now. You gave the order!”

“He didn’t, Ele…” Isidora couldn’t bear any more of it.
She had to catch Elessia when the Omega’s legs buckled and she nearly collapsed on the mattress.
“Yes, I heard them, Dora. You have to believe me! I heard them while I was running away…”
“They thought Cassian had given the order… but his mother was the one who gave it.”
Much as she hated it, Isidora had to defend Cassian.
She understood now that it had all been one terrible misunderstanding.
Elessia still didn’t believe it.
She kept shaking her head as if she were trapped in a loop.
“Ele, listen to me.” Isidora took her by the shoulders and made Elessia face her.
“I’ve never lied to you, and if that man had betrayed you like that, he wouldn’t be standing in front of you right now.”
She openly threatened Cassian.
The Alpha still stood there with claw marks across his face, feeling nothing but rejection from his mate.
Again.
“We already tore those fucking men apart… We made them pay for what they did to you, and so did Cassian. He fought them with everything he had when he found out…”
“But his mother… his mother…”
“Counselor Mira was killed by one of them before he died.” Vhaelor was the one who spoke this time.
Vhaelor looked from Elessia to Cassian.
“She was the one truly responsible for everything, and Benjamin made her pay for her sins. She admitted she’d murdered his mother to silence her…”
Cassian stared at him, tormented.
Elessia cried in her friends’ arms, pulling away from him all over again.
“I never would’ve hurt you like that, but I let them do it. If tomorrow you still want me to give you your freedom…”
Cassian paused, his entire body rebelling against saying the rest.
His wolf was frantic.
“I’ll do it, Elessia. I’ll accept your rejection…”
Still wrapped in Isidora’s arms, she turned her head and looked at him with red-rimmed eyes.
Too much had happened between them for one night of intimacy to magically fix everything.
“You’re too perfect for me.” Cassian gave her a sad smile, one that got to everyone in the room.
Elessia couldn’t say anything else. Her chest hurt so badly that she thought it might split in two.
Her wolf wanted to keep their mate away, yet she desperately needed his comfort.

It was an inner battle they were both fighting.
ian turned and left the room, cast out of her life once again.
When he was alone in the hallway, he roared and suddenly drove his fist into the wall in a fit of rage.
His knuckles split open, streaking the stones with blood.
