로그인Kiara’s POVHis comment made my cheeks flare. I couldn’t take the heat that overwhelmed me, so I shoved him backward immediately.“How dare you say that to me! How dare you!” I shoved him again, unable to contain the anger within me.He raised his hands up in defense, then passed down his smug smile. “You were the one that called for help, you know that, right? You called for help, and I came.”“No, you came here because you wanted to make me uncomfortable.” I made an attempt to push him again, but he moved aside, making me miss. He quickly moved behind me, then held me from behind.Pulling my waist toward his hard body.I felt a shudder running down my body as his hands wrapped around my waist.“If you shout too loud, someone might hear you. Do you want that, Kiara?” His words slurred, but I refused to fall for his charms and his slow torment.“Leave here, Cassian. I don’t want you here.” I said, trying my very best not to react to the touch of his hands on my bare waist, and the fac
Kiara’s POVI could hear the music outside. Maelor was serious about the celebration, and I couldn’t wrap my mind around it, why he would react the way he did, knowing we haven’t even slept together in a year.It was like he and Cassian wanted to set me up.Like it was a ploy by both of them to ruin me, but I couldn’t pinpoint why. First of all, if I didn’t know better, I would say Cassian had a hand in this celebration, but no.Maelor was the person hosting it, and everyone with eyes knew Cassian and Maelor were like water and oil.They don’t mix.But why was Maelor doing this? Why did he suddenly accept that he came to my room that night, even though he knew he didn’t enter? He had detested me.He wouldn’t even look me in the eye, and he had verbally said that he wouldn’t touch me, and all of a sudden I was pregnant and he congratulates me?What kind of game is this?What kind of plot am I being forced to participate in?Pushing the thought down my mind when I heard a knock by the d
CHAPTER FOURKiara’S POVI stared at the healer as if I had forgotten how to breathe.“You are pregnant.” The words echoed inside my head, refusing to disappear even after the healer had gone silent.Pregnant. For five years, that was the word I had prayed to hear.For five years, I had watched other women in the pack carry their children while I stood at a distance, smiling whenever they spoke about their pregnancies even though something inside me broke a little more each time.I had endured the whispers, the pitying looks, the cruel laughter, and the name that had followed me everywhere. Barren Luna and now, after all those years, the Moon Goddess had finally answered my prayers but instead of happiness, fear slowly settled inside my chest, because I knew exactly when this pregnancy had begun.I knew whose child I was carrying, ay hand slowly moved toward my stomach.Cassian.bThe healer was watching me closely, and I realized that she had mistaken my silence for shock caused by hap
CHAPTER THREEKiara’S POVTwo months had passed since the night that changed everything.Two months since I had opened my eyes in an unfamiliar room and believed, for a few foolish minutes, that Maelor had finally returned to me.Two months since I discovered that the man who had carried me into that room had never been my husband.Two months since Cassian, the man everyone had believed was dead, returned to the pack.And for two months, I had done everything I could to avoid him.Whenever I heard that Cassian was in the main house, I found an excuse to remain in my room. Whenever I saw him from a distance, I changed direction before he could notice me, and whenever his voice reached me from somewhere nearby, my heart would begin beating so hard that I would have to remind myself to breathe.I didn't know what frightened me more, the fact that I had spent that night with Maelor's stepbrother or the fact that I could still remember every detail of it.I remembered his voice, I remember
CHAPTER TWOKiara’S POVI woke up slowly, my eyes opening to the soft light coming through the curtains as I stared at the unfamiliar ceiling above me, trying to understand where I was and why my body felt so weak.For a few moments, my mind was completely blank.Then the memories of the previous night began coming back.It was our fifth wedding anniversary.I remembered preparing dinner for Maelor, waiting for him with a heart full of hope, only for him to return with Elyra and humiliate me before walking away with her.I remembered taking the fertility seed, I remembered the strange heat that had spread through my body.Then I remembered someone taking me to his room.Maelor, he had come back to me, I finally was with him last night! The fertility seed would work, now! Expecting a baby.A small smile slowly appeared on my lips as I remembered what happened afterward.Maybe our marriage was not completely over.I slowly sat up and pulled the blanket around myself, looking toward the
CHAPTER ONEKiara’S POVI carefully placed the last plate on the dining table and stepped back to look at everything I had prepared, making sure that nothing was out of place because tonight was not an ordinary night to me.Today was our fifth wedding anniversary.Five years had passed since I became Maelor’s wife, five years since the Moon Goddess had given me the man I once believed would love me more than anyone else, and five years since I had been trying to convince myself that his coldness was only temporary.I looked at the table and smiled faintly.The candles were burning quietly, the food was still warm, and everything Maelor liked was there. I had prepared his favorite dishes, bought his favorite wine, and even placed a small gift beside his plate.For tonight, I wanted to forget the past five years.I wanted to believe that our marriage could still be saved, my hand moved to the small pouch hidden inside my dress.The fertility seed was inside.I had gone miles away from
