Chapter 8
Dorian seemed worried I might go soft. He gently tugged at my sleeve.[]
I gave him a reassuring look. “Don’t worry.“[]
Then I turned back to Cassian.[]
“Honestly? You and Seraphine are perfect for each other. You’re both the same type of person–selfish to the core. Just wait for her to
get out of prison and marry her. Lock yourselves away together and stop ruining other people’s lives.“[]
Cassian looked up at me with dead eyes, his lips moving like he wanted to say something but couldn’t find the words.
There was desperation and helplessness in his gaze, like he’d lost all hope and courage.
I didn’t spare him another glance. I took Dorian’s arm and headed toward my house.
My parents went crazy when they saw Dorian, pulling him into enthusiastic conversation.[]
He’d always been the golden–born of his pack–my parents favored him so much, they claimed him as their honorary son through a formal blood pledge.]]
His mother, in turn, named herself my moonsworn guardian. Whenever either of us visited the other’s den, we were treated like heirs of allied clans.
It’s just that during my marriage, he’d rarely come around.[]
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. When I opened it, there stood Dorian’s mom. 0
She looked stunned for a second, then broke into a huge smile and pulled me into a crushing hug.
Just like when I was little–she still treated me like her baby.
“Sweetheart, when did you get back?“]
I laughed and pulled her inside. “Just got here. Your precious son’s here too.”
“Oh wonderful! It’s so rare to have both kids home. We should all go out together later.“[]
My mom jumped up to greet her best friend the moment she walked in.[]
Watching this warm scene, my eyes started to well up. All these years, I’d poured everything into Cassian, barely having a life of my own.[
Every day I’d been consumed by his drama with Seraphine, getting sick from stress but never telling my parents because I didn’t want them to worry.
Thank God I was finally free.[]
A week later, my mom came to me with explosive news–Dorian’s mom wanted to set us up.[]
I was horrified. They had to be out of their minds.[]

Chapter 8
Sure, Dorian was only a year older than me, but he’d always seen me as his little sister. How could he possibly like me that way?]]
This matchmaking was going to make things so awkward between us.[]
But when my mom heard my concerns, she gave me a mysterious smile and said Dorian had been the one to suggest it.[]
I was floored. He… how could he…?[]
Years later, I did marry Dorian.[]
And finally learned the whole truth from him.[]
Turns out, he’d been in love with me all along. He was just too reserved to show it, always keeping his feelings locked away.[]
**Epilogue**
“If you liked me, why didn’t you say anything?“[]
I wrapped my arms around Dorian’s neck, pretending to be mad.[]
But inside, I felt sweet as honey.
He pulled me closer, eyes full of love. “Because I wanted you to wait for me. I wanted to be able to give you a better life before I told you how I felt.”
“I just never expected… someone else would be in your heart.“]
His voice caught on that last part, eyes getting misty.
My heart ached for him. I pulled him down and kissed him.[]
Truth was, I’d had a crush on my neighbor boy when we were little. But he always seemed so cold and distant, I never dared get too
close.
Still, whenever I was in trouble, he was always there to help.
He just had this reliable, safe feeling about him.[]
He was brilliant academically while I was more of a free spirit–we never seemed to click on that level.[]
Gradually, I stopped reaching out to him as much.]
Then I met Cassian, who was completely different from Dorian.[]
Cassian was sunny and warm with everyone. I found myself drawn to him, and we became close friends who could talk about anything.]]
But he had someone hidden in his heart too–Seraphine Blackveil, a senior at our school.
Seraphine was gorgeous and an amazing dancer–the school’s reigning goddess.[]
Cassian was crazy about her. He chased her for three years before she finally said yes.[]
They got together, but right after graduation, Seraphine got married.[]
