LOGINCHAPTER 83 The Demand“Leave before we make you.”Nyra stared at the note and her hands shook.The words blurred before her eyes and then a guard stepped closer.“My Lady…”Nyra looked up.“Who threw it?”Nobody answered because nobody knew and the broken glass remained scattered across the floor.The stone sat near her feet, it was a simple stone but yet it felt heavier than anything she had ever carried.The baby moved inside her stomach and Nyra pressed a hand against it immediately and then fear crashed through her chest.Not for herself but for her child.The next morning, the palace was in chaos, news of the threat spread quickly and Cassian became furious.He ordered more guards around Nyra, more patrols, more security and more protection.Nyra felt trapped all over again, every hallway had guards, every door had guards and every window had guards.She could barely breathe.Meanwhile, the protests outside continued growing.The chants never stopped and the hatred never stopped
CHAPTER 82 The Woman Nobody Wanted"Send the Moonfang away!""Send the Moonfang away!""Send the Moonfang away!"The angry chants echoed through the night and then Nyra stood beside the window, unable to move.Hundreds of people stood outside the palace gates and torches burned in the darkness.Their voices rose higher and higher.Some carried signs, some raised their fists, some shouted her name like it was a curse.Nyra slowly stepped away from the window, her chest hurt and the baby shifted inside her.She then placed a hand over her stomach and Cassian watched her carefully."Don't listen to them."Nyra laughed weakly."How?"The shouting outside became louder."How am I supposed to ignore this?"Cassian had no answer.The next morning was worse, the crowd had doubled and nby afternoon, more people arrived.The protests spread through the capital.Everywhere Nyra went, she heard whispers.The Kingdom's Curse. The dangerous Moonfang. The woman bringing disaster.Nyra stopped walki
CHAPTER 81 The Curse Of The KingdomNyra stood frozen.“The Kingdom’s Curse.”The words echoed through the hall long after the noble finished speaking and for a moment, nobody moved.Nobody breathed and then whispers started, it was small at first and then louder.“The curse.”“Maybe it’s true.”“Everything started after she arrived.”Nyra felt every word hit her chest and her fingers tightened around her dress, she wanted to say something, wanted to defend herself but she was tired, so tired.Cassian rose from his seat and the entire hall immediately went silent.His silver eyes locked on the noble.“Repeat that.”The noble swallowed.“My King, I only spoke what many already believe.”Cassian took one step forward and the pressure from his Alpha aura filled the room and everal nobles lowered their heads.“You called her a curse.”The noble nodded nervously.“People are afraid.”Cassian’s voice became deadly.“And that gives you permission to attack a pregnant woman?”The noble immed
CHAPTER 80 The Name Hidden In The LedgerDraven stared at the paper in his hand and his jaw tightened."No."Ronan frowned."What is it?"Draven looked down at the account records again, the name was gone, the entire page had been torn out, not just that page, several pages were missing.Someone had removed them carefully, someone who knew exactly what he was looking for.Ronan stepped closer."Let me see."Draven handed him the ledger and Ronan flipped through it and his expression darkened."Damn."Draven's eyes narrowed."Someone got here before us."Ronan nodded."They knew what you were investigating."Draven's hand moved into a fist.The missing records burned inside his mind.He had finally found a trail.A real trail.And now it was gone.Someone was protecting the person behind the attacks, someone powerful, someone close and his wolf growled.Ronan looked at him carefully."What now?"Draven's eyes became dangerous."Now I find out who destroyed those pages."Far away, insi
CHAPTER 79 The First Crack In The MaskDraven stared at the piece of jewelry lying on the table, the silver pendant reflected the candlelight.His jaw tightened, he knew that pendant, he had seen it before, many times.Calista wore it often, not always but enough for him to recognize it immediately.Ronan stood beside him and neither man spoke for several seconds and finally, Ronan broke the silence.“You’re thinking the same thing I am.”Draven’s eyes remained fixed on the pendant.“No.”Ronan frowned.“No?”“I am thinking I need proof.”Ronan laughed bitterly.“How much proof do you need?”Draven slowly looked up and his face was hard.“Enough.”Ronan folded his arms.“You found her jewelry inside secret tunnels beneath Cassian’s castle.”Still, Draven said nothing and Ronan stepped closer.“Nyra was poisoned.”There was silence.“Someone tried killing her.”Silence.“Her room was set on fire.”Draven’s hand clenched into a fist, still silent and Ronan’s voice became sharper.“And
CHAPTER 78The Fire In The NightFire.That was the first thing Nyra saw, orange flames climbed across the curtains and smoke filled the room so fast that she could barely breathe.For one second, she froze and then panic hit her.“My baby…”Her hands flew to her stomach and the fire crackled louder.The wooden table beside her bed burst into flames and heat rushed toward her.She tried getting up, but pain shot through her body.“Help!”Her voice came out weak.“Help!”The smoke became thicker and she coughed hard.Tears filled her eyes and the door suddenly burst open.“NYRA!”It was Cassian.Relief crashed through her instantly and he ran straight through the smoke.His eyes found her immediately and fear filled his face, real fear.It was the kind he only showed when it came to her.“Gods…”He reached her in seconds and Nyra grabbed his arm.“Cassian…”He dropped beside her.“Are you hurt?”She shook her head.“I don’t know.”The ceiling cracked above them and Cassian looked up an
CHAPTER 72 The Hunt BeginsCalista stared at the letter in her hand and her fingers tightened slowly and then she smiled, a real smile, it was the kind nobody ever saw.“The Last Moonfang Heir.”She read the words again and then again.Across from her, three masked figures stood silently inside th
CHAPTER 71 The Silver WolfThe entire court went silent, nobody moved and nobody breathed.Nyra stood frozen in the center of the chamber and her heart rang so hard it hurt.A few seconds ago she had only been trying to stand, only trying to answer a council elder’s question and then pain had rush
CHAPTER 70 The Enemy WithinThe money came from Shadowfang.Those words changed everything.Cassian stared at the report spread across his desk and his expression darkened.Across from him, several trusted warriors waited silently and nobody dared speak first.Nobody wanted to be the one deliverin
CHAPTER 69 The Child They Fear"We know everything."The words refused to leave Draven's mind, even hours later, even after the meeting ended, even after Nyra was escorted back to her chambers.The image remained burned into his head, the drawing, the unborn child, someone knew, someone was watchi
