Moon Reaper’s Substitute Bride Chapter 113
~SERAPHINA~We sat in the dark on a narrow side road overlooking the council estate, engines off, lights off, the three of us crowded into the back of the car like common spies. It was humiliating. Necessary, but humiliating. My mother had insisted we stay and watch with our own eyes. She refused to believe the council's sudden change in tone until she saw proof.When the first Blackwell vehicles appeared, we all went still.Dozens of them. Perfectly spaced security moving out with the kind of disciplined precision that made even Varkas guards look amateur. This was not a polite retrieval. This was a family of significant power arriving to claim something they considered theirs.My mother stared through the tinted glass, lips pressed into a hard line."There is no way," she said, voice tight with disbelief and rising anger. "There is absolutely no way that wolfless little nobody is a Blackwell. Have you seen their bloodline? Their wolves are among the strongest on the continent. Tha

~AURORA~They moved me quickly.One moment I was still sitting in the council estate; the next, firm but careful hands were guiding me out into the night. The sight that met me stopped me cold. Dozens of black vehicles lined the road in perfect formation, engines running, windows tinted, security personnel standing at disciplined intervals. This was not the scattered protection of the Varkas or even the formal presence of the council. This was something else entirely—wealth and power organized into a quiet, overwhelming force.I couldn't believe my eyes.These people were my family.My father—Damian Blackwell, walked beside me, close enough that I could feel the tension in him. When the door of the lead vehicle opened, he waited for me to climb in first before following. The interior was spacious and dark, the kind of luxury I had never known. As the convoy began to move, he turned to me, and for the first time the carefully held composure in his face cracked. It was almost as tho

~AURORA~They took me to the council estate.The room they had left me in was quiet, elegant, and heavily guarded—not to keep me in, but to keep everyone else out. I sat on the edge of a low sofa with my hands tightly clasped in my lap, the Blackwell necklace resting against my collarbone once more. Every few minutes I touched it, as if I needed the solid weight of it to remind myself this was actually happening.I still didn't believe it.A Blackwell. Me. The girl who had spent her entire life being told she was worthless, shiftless, a stain on the Varkas name. The idea that I belonged to a family powerful enough to make the council go pale with fear felt like a story someone else was living. My knee shook restlessly. My heart refused to settle. Somewhere inside me the baby shifted, a tiny flutter that made me press a protective hand over my stomach.Please let this be real, I thought. Please don't let it be another cruel trick.Footsteps sounded in the corridor outside. The counc
Moon Reaper’s Substitute Bride Chapter 110
~AURORA~I stood on the side of the road with the necklace still resting in my open palm, the small pendant glowing as though its secrets were finally out in the open.Every council member stared at it as if it might burn them. Their faces had drained of color. The lead one, the same man who had ordered me to remove it, looked like he had aged ten years in a single breath."Where did you get this?" he demanded, voice sharp with something that sounded almost like panic. "Speak carefully, girl. That necklace belongs to the Blackwell family."Blackwell family? Why did that name sound familiar? Surely I'd heard someone mention it before.I blinked, confusion cutting through the fear. "It was from my mother. She left it for me before she died. There was also a note that said it belonged to my father. . .and that I must never lose it. That it was the only thing I had left of him."My words seemed to shock them even more than before. It was even possible that they were now trembling with fea
Moon Reaper’s Substitute Bride Chapter 109
~AURORA~Lady Elowen's fingers closed around my arm tightly.Before I could even look back at Cassian one last time, she yanked me forward and shoved me hard into the waiting black car. My shoulder hit the seat, and for a second the world spun. I scrambled upright just as the door slammed shut, sealing me inside with the two people who had spent years making my life a living nightmare.My heart was racing so fast I felt lightheaded. One hand flew protectively to my stomach as the car drove forward. The baby. Cassian's baby. Our baby. The only thing that still made any of this bearable. I was terrified, terrified of what they would do once we reached Varkas territory, terrified that the stress and the rough handling might hurt the tiny life I was carrying. But I had no choice. If I hadn't gone with them, Cassian and Zerath would have died right there on those stones in front of me. I had seen how close they were to falling. I had seen the blood. I had heard Cassian's roar when the
Moon Reaper’s Substitute Bride Chapter 108
~AURORA~The pain of the bond snapping felt like something driven straight through the center of my chest.It was sharp, sudden, and so complete that my knees nearly gave out. For one terrible second I couldn't breathe. The old thread that had tied me to Vincent—damaged, neglected, already dying, tore all the way through, and the emptiness it left behind was worse than I expected. A sound escaped me before I could stop it, small and broken.Then Cassian's arms closed around me.He pulled me against his chest so tightly I could feel the heat of him through the blood and dirt on his clothes, feel the hard beat of his heart under my cheek. The pain didn't vanish, but it changed. It became something I could survive. His scent, his warmth, the fierce way he held me as if he could physically keep me from falling apart, those things filled the space the rejection had torn open. I clung to him, fingers fisting in his shirt, and the worst of it passed.When I lifted my head, Vincent was sta

~AURORA~The hall seemed to spin. Whispers all around us, but they faded into a distant sound. Seraphina and Vincent. . .betrothed? How had I never known? All those years pining, suffering in silence, and they'd been promised to each other? I felt like a fool. He wasn't just someone I'd develope
Moon Reaper’s Substitute Bride Chapter 1
~Aurora~The cellar smelled of damp stone and fresh blood.I knelt on the cold floor, arms raw from the earlier whippings, tasting iron where my lip had split."The prophecy demands a Varkas daughter," Lady Elowen, my stepmother had hissed earlier this evening, shoving me forward in the great hall
Moon Reaper’s Substitute Bride Chapter 5
~CASSIAN~I couldn't believe my eyes.It was her, the girl I had glimpsed earlier while entering the Kingdom. I couldn't get her out of my head. And now she stood before me as my bride?A dark amusement formed in my chest. Had she truly tried to run away to escape marrying me? This was the Varka

~AURORA~I'd tried to run away. Tried to escape before the Moon Reaper could force me back to his Kingdom where I would stay as his wife.But the guards had found me. They couldn't whip me as punishment, not today, not when I was being offered as the sacrificial bride. They needed my groom to beli
