Cassian waited for you to arrive. Lately you have been fighting a lot, about your mating bond, with every conversation ending with a door in his face, or you saying something that makes him leave.

He had understood that you wouldn't take the mating bond well. So that had been his reasoning for not telling you, allowing you to grow into your body instead. Learning how to live your new life. He was trying to give you more control of your life. But now he realised that by not telling you, he might did the complete opposite.

Since you didn't know why you wanted him around, you had let him be there. Training you, keeping you company. But then he almost died. You together with him. And that was when you had realised.

He would have let you both die before he had told you. It made him furious now, thinking of it. He had been so stupid. And while he had understood your fury against him, it still hurt. He wanted to be there for you, he didn't want to be the one who hurt you.

Instead, it had all begun as you both claiming you were each others 'distraction', when it was so much more than that. And when you finally realised, claiming he only was a distraction for you this whole time... It ddi hurt. No matter what you had decided initially. Because he had been selfish, trying so much to get any crumbs while he waited.

After not speaking for almost two weeks, you had finally summoned him to the house of winds. And here he was, waiting for you to arrive, to say at least something to him. Craving any type of acknowledgement.
