Chapter 74

Third Person’s POV

A strange frustration was bubbling up in him.

Finished

Before, Trista rarely called him first on a trip, but her messages were constant, morning till night.

Ever since Samantha showed up, she hadn’t sent him a single text.

Even now, gutting the house and agreeing to move back in, she hadn’t bothered to tell him.

It was like she was deliberately trying to time all her moves only when he was absent.

After a short internal debate, Cassian called Trista’s number.

The tension in his face eased slightly the moment she answered. “I heard you’re redoing the house.”

Trista’s voice on the other end was surprisingly calm. “I left the second–floor master closet and your study alone. They have coded rooms with your valuable items.”

Hearing her sound so compliant after all the drama softened Cassian’s tone instantly.

He pushed the advantage. “Forget the job for now. Don’t go running to my grandfather. We’ll deal with it when I

get back.”

“No need,” Trista said. “I already quit.”

Cassian’s hand tightened sharply around his phone. The liquor in the glass swirled, nearly spilling.

He paused, then spoke as if soothing an unstable wolf. “Fine. You’re my mate; you don’t need to work that hard anyway. When I get back, I’ll give you my secondary credit card.”

Trista’s voice through the comm–stone was flat, controlled. It gave away nothing. “We’ll talk when you get back.”

She didn’t directly refuse him.

Cassian almost smiled. “Anything you want me to bring you?”

He had offered her a secondary card to his main account countless times in three years, and she always refused.

In his view, Samantha’s arrival had clearly given Trista a sense of crisis–she was finally focused. on his assets.

Trista didn’t answer the question. “Ulva’s waiting for me for lunch. I need to hang up.”

Cassian accepted with a simple “Okay.” The min–link was immediately cut by her.

A little before four in the afternoon, at the departure level of LAX.

Trista put her comm–stone away and saw Samantha walking straight toward her.

Trista instinctively frowned.

Samantha was all smiles, her jacket draped over her arm, looking like she was seeing off a close friend. “Trista, I heard your flight is around four. I specially came to see you off.”

“Thank you,” Trista replied politely.

As Samantha reached her, the smile faded, replaced by caution and wariness.

“Trista, even if you hadn’t volunteered,” Samantha said in a low voice, “Cassian would have terminated the mating with you eventually. Since you’ve decided to step aside, I need you to break clean.”

Trista’s expression chilled. “What are you implying?”

“I hope this trip abroad,” Samantha looked directly at her, “is permanent. Don’t come back to

LA.”

Trista suddenly let out a small, cold laugh–a sharp arc carved out by the tension in her jawline.

She took one step forward.

The step alone shifted the atmosphere. She didn’t consciously release her aura, but the pure force of her innate Alpha bloodline made her stand utterly straight.

The omega’s cloying scent instantly retreated half an inch.

Samantha’s previously dominant sweetness was forced back into its small perimeter, like a startled animal tucking its tail.

“Ms. Fernandez,” Trista looked up, her gaze steady, her voice dangerously quiet. “Don’t forget, Cassian and I haven’t officially terminated the mating bond before the Stone Circle.”

She moved another fraction closer.

Her Alpha pheromones radiated outwards like an invisible, clean blade from her shoulders.

“I need you,” she said, word for word, “to lose that sense of entitlement.”

Samantha’s forced smile visibly cracked.
