Chapter 102: Plans (3)
Cassandra sat down, taking the moment to be off her feet. She had been walking around constantly since Lucinda’s death since there was much to do. Had Cassandra known it would be this much trouble, she would have tried to keep Lucinda alive so she would only be bedridden.
There wasn’t any talk about a wedding and Gabriel didn’t visit the palace. Everything had taken too many steps back and now it would take longer to carry out her plans.
Cassandra wanted to blame Bryce but she was the one who asked for him to kill Lucinda. Why couldn’t it be George to take care of burying Lucinda? Why did he get to sulk over biting her?
"I am tired," Cassandra muttered.
Gabriel had not turned to ignore her or to be cold after losing his mother but she did not enjoy how many times he wanted to lay with her. How many times he wanted to bite her.
There was always the fear at the back of her mind that he would try to turn her into what he was but there was some relief when she realised he could not turn her. Gabriel would need to find a pureblood who could and Cassandra doubted one would waste their time with Gabriel.
Gabriel was not as important as he thought he was and it annoyed her that he was taking his time with the king’s wish. He should already be in a palace with a suitable position so they would be invited there regularly.
Cassandra sat up when she heard footsteps. At this hour, it could only be Gabriel returning from wherever he ran off.
"Why aren’t you sleeping?" Gabriel asked as soon as he entered the bedroom.
