He Called Me Barren Luna, But I Bore His Brother’s Heir CHAPTER SIXTY EIGHT
Kiara's POVCassian did not drop his sword immediately. He stood motionless with the blade still raised, and the muscles in his jaw flexed as though he were grinding his teeth to dust, while Amelia's breath hitched against the knife at her throat."Let her go, Maelor," I said, and the trembling in my voice was not an act. "She has never harmed you, and you gain nothing by spilling the blood of a girl who has barely begun her life.""She is a traitor's daughter," Maelor said, "and the pack has already condemned her to execution, so I am only performing a small mercy by sparing her the long wait."Cassian's eyes locked on mine across the tunnel. In that single glance, I read a thousand unspoken things, an apology and a plea and a faint spark of something that looked almost like a plan, and then his gaze flicked toward the ceiling for the briefest instant before returning to Maelor."What do you want?" Cassian asked quietly. "You have a knife on a child, an army at your back, and a dunge

Kiara's POVFor a heartbeat, nobody in the tunnel moved. The only sound was the crackling of torches and the heavy breathing of the soldiers, and I felt Amelia's fingers dig into my arm so hard that it hurt.Maelor stepped forward slowly, his boots splashing through a shallow puddle, and the light from the torches turned his face into a mask of triumph. He looked sober for the first time in weeks, and that made him far more frightening than the drunken fool I had faced in my bedroom that morning."Look at you both," he said, spreading his hands wide. "The traitor's wife and the traitor's daughter, creeping through the dark like rats, and thinking they could outsmart the Alpha of this pack with a single forged note.""We were led here by your councilman," Amelia snapped. "He told us that Cassian was waiting, and he drugged half the dungeon to make it look believable, so if there is anyone here who deserves to be called a rat, it stands right beside you."Maelor's smile faltered slightly

Kiara's POVFor several seconds, I could not make my mouth form a single word. Councilman Zek stood in the doorway of our cell with the torchlight carving deep shadows across his face, and he looked exactly the way he always looked, calm and respectable and faintly amused by the foolishness of everyone around him."Forgive the early hour, my Luna," he said, bowing his head slightly. "Prince Cassian told me to wait until midnight, but the guards are changing shifts sooner than we expected, and I could not risk leaving you here a moment longer.""Prince Cassian?" Amelia repeated, and her voice cracked with suspicion. "Nobody has called him a prince since he vanished, and he would never trust a councilman who sat quietly while the elders handed his throne to Maelor."Zek smiled gently. "He trusts me because I held his throne in my heart even when I could not hold it in my hands, and because I have spent two months quietly protecting the people he loves. Now come quickly, for the passage b

Kiara's POVThe iron cuffs on my wrists were so cold that they felt like they were burning through my skin, and the damp stone beneath me had soaked through my robe hours ago. I kept my back pressed against the wall of the cell, one hand resting on my belly, because the baby had been moving restlessly ever since the guards threw us inside.Amelia sat across from me with her knees pulled to her chest, and she had not looked at me once since the gates slammed shut. Her lip was split from where her face had struck the bars, and a thin line of dried blood ran down her chin."You can stop staring at me like that," she said without lifting her eyes. "I already know what you are going to say, and I do not want to hear another apology from the woman who ruined my life.""I am not going to apologize," I answered softly. "I am going to tell you something I should have said weeks ago, and you are going to listen until I finish, even if you hate every word."She finally turned her head, and the to

Kiara"Traitor?"Taken by surprise, I looked at Cassian, surprised by what he had just said, and judging by the exclamations of the people, I wasn't the only person stunned in the pack.He went on, moving around the podium."Every single one of you never partook in the war because everyone who left home to fight never came back, and till date, we mourn thousands of our soldiers who left to protect what was ours and got killed."More murmuring, rumbling, and screams. Then, when it settled, Cassian continued. I was still in awe.Betrayed?"As the commander who led the war, it was fortunate that I didn't die. The Goddess had given me the opportunity to come back and tell everyone here that there's still hope. Grieffully, we might never get what we wanted. We might never get our loved ones that were lost, but we will get justice by bringing out this traitor."I stared at him, clueless."As a prisoner held in the North..."

KiaraMy wolf burst right out and charged at him, forcing him out of the way and standing in the way so he wouldn't go after the girl again. Then I commanded more people into the room so they could come and help her out.A fleet of maids walked in. They carried the badly bruised woman out of the room."Maelor! You dare not attack my workers! You are not!" I yelled. He kept growling at me. His wolf moved around in circles, wanting to attack, but I stood my ground. I had never stood up to him the way I had just done, and I bet his crazy wolf wanted to scare me. He wanted me to tuck my tail and bow down to him, but I had no loyalty to him.Not in this moment.I bared my teeth at him, showing him I was ready to fight to the death. I might not win, but the Goddess had to kill me before I let him go without a bruise he would leave to remember.When he saw I wasn't going to fall back, he stood and then morphed back to his human self. He raised his hands up, then staggered backward. He had a
