Morgana’s face fell, hurt masking her satisfaction. "Alright, I won’t mention him again. Don’t be mad at me, Aria."
The Alpha's irritation was palpable as he witnessed my hostility towards Morgana. With a cold chuckle, he pulled out his phone and dialed Beta Yuriel. To ensure I heard every word, he put the call on speaker.
"Beta Yuriel," Thorne said, his voice commanding, "find out where my son is. Bring him to me."
He looked at me with a self-satisfied smirk, as if this action would somehow reassert his control over the situation.
I managed a bitter smile, the dreariness of my situation washing over me.
Beta Yuriel’s voice crackled over the speaker, hesitant but clear. "Alpha… Cassian passed away days ago. It happened the day after you left the territory with Morgana."
