Chapter 34

• Hann • 


“At first I had thought it was weird, that it must’ve been a witch’s doing but the more I look at you, the more I start to think that maybe it wasn’t.” I told Cassia. I had come to the conclusion that her and Abius must’ve had a past due to the way he reacted whenever she was near. I was consumed by lust and other feelings I’ve never felt towards a woman before. I could of course, be mistaken and it’s all just the mate bond but I still wanted to find out the truth. 

“What are you talking about?” She questioned and I looked up at her. ‘I was wondering when you were going to figure it out?’ Abius voiced, pushing and trying to come out. He himself was having a hard time holding himself together, which made it even harder for me. But I held on as hard as I could and focused on her. Just looking at her and thinking about what Abius had done to her gave me the strength I needed to keep him locked up. I didn’t want him to take control and hurt her again. 

“You were mated in the past to a warlock.” I stated and Cassia’s face confirmed my suspicions. I had no idea how the mate bond worked between two mates but I did know both witches and werewolves were capable of being mates. Cassia was connected to me because of Abius and the only way that could be possible was if they were mates in the past. A past where he and I had been separated from one another. The bond was strong, I could only assume that the reason was because they already had a bond before. If everything was new then it wouldn’t have been this strong. 

“What do you mean?” She questioned, making me smile as I moved closer to her. I looked at her, examining her every features. She was indeed beautiful. Physically, I knew being mated to her was truly a blessing. She had an amazing body. Her boobs were the perfect size while her butt was nice and round. I mentally groaned, feeling my dick jolt up just from thinking about her. 

‘I would love to fuck her pretty little mouth.’ Abius stated and I groaned once again thinking about it. She did have beautiful lips, but I quickly ignored him and pushed both my thoughts of her and Abius aside. We were in the middle of a serious conversation. I couldn’t let my sexual desires distract me. I focused on her and noticed she was just staring at me waiting for my answer. 

“Abius, right?” Cassia softly gasped upon hearing my question. She stared at me shocked and I smiled. She knew him, my suspicions had been correct.

“How?” She asked quietly, she remained still as I moved even closer to her. ‘And here I thought she’d forgotten all about me.” Abius said, laughing. I rolled my eyes at him and focused on Cassia. She was quiet, just staring at me. I wanted to know what was going through her mind, I myself had so many questions. 

”How do I know?” I asked her and brought my hands up to her face, sparks traveled the moment our skin touched. She closed her eyes, allowing me to caress her face softly.

‘Let me out.’ Abius demanded, but I ignore him. Cassia opened her eyes and I frowned, my heart tightened in my chest seeing the conflict in her eyes. She was fighting something. 

“That’s my little secret.” I told her quietly. 


• Cassia • 


“How?” I asked him, nearly whispering. If it wasn’t for his vampire hearing, he wouldn’t have heard me. I had nothing to say, I mean what could I say? I didn’t expect him to know such information. I had never crossed path with any of the Choi family. I had remained discreet with my personal life. Being mated to Abius was something that I had hidden from witches and vampires. I was afraid they would’ve used him against me or used me against him. 

“How do I know?” He questioned, moving closer. I remained frozen, my whole body didn’t know how to react. It was all so strange. I didn’t think just hearing his name would’ve had this much control over me. 

Hann brought his hand up to my face, causing me to close my eyes as sparks traveled from the moment our skin touched. I melted into his touch, feeling his hand caressing my face softly. I wanted to desperately back away from him but I couldn’t. I was conflicted on what to do next. I had many questions but all I could do was ask how. I opened my eyes and looked up at him. His eyes had specks of red on them, they were completely different than his usual bright red ones. 

“That’s my little secret.” He told me quietly. I stared at him for a little before taking a deep breath and finally gaining the strength I needed to back away from him. I moved slowly, my eyes glued to him. I didn’t know what he would do next. 

“Why bring his name up only to tell me it’s a secret?” I questioned, being able to come to my senses. He had to come in contact with Abius in the past before he was killed. But then why didn’t Abius ever mentioned crossing paths with Hann? We had also promised to tell each other everything. 

“We might’ve crossed path here and there. I remember him mentioning his mate being named Cassia.” Hann informed, I frowned looking up at him. He was lying, Abius would’ve never hidden that from me. 

“Abius would’ve told me if he had crossed path with you.” I told him and he raised an eyebrow at me. Abius and I had completed our mate bond. There was no way he would’ve gotten away with that. We had promised to tell each other everything so that we wouldn’t invade each other’s privacy with the mate bond. I was able to tell if he was hidden something right away, unless he had used his magic. 

The day that he was killed, I was also supposed to die with him. But I didn’t, I had passed out for the whole day but then I woke up mateless. That was also when I had learnt that I couldn’t be killed. I tried many times to kill myself but I kept waking up every damn time.

”I guess he wasn’t who you thought he was.” Hann told me and my heart tightened thinking about his sentence.  Did Abius really lie to me? He had access to black magic, he could’ve easily fooled me. I looked down, away from Hann as I left my eyes filling up with tears. I was shocked at my own reaction. It had been over 900 years since Abius died. I would’ve never thought I’d cry over him.

Hann growled making me look up at him, I gasped the moment I looked up and backed away shocked.
