Talia noticed Cassandra, who was standing behind Valerian.
"Come here," Talia said.
Cassandra's heart was stuck in her throat. This was it, and she was terrified. But she couldn't run away. There was nowhere to hide.
She dragged her feet until she stood before Talia, and she lowered her head respectfully. "Alpha."
Cassandra pressed her lips into a line and waited for the verdict. Will they take away her wolf? She watched Sophia and Isaac, and it looked painful.
"Don't be afraid," Talia said. "I want to return your ability."
Cassandra lifted her head to stare at Talia. "What?"
"I can't blame you for the prophecy or events triggered by it. I took away your ability because of your actions against Damon. What you did was morally wrong, but the truth is that a pack prospers only while following its Alpha. Damon will decide how to handle your punishment."
