Moon Reaper’s Substitute Bride Chapter 31
~AURORA~The familiar stone walls of Varkas Kingdom rose before us like a cage I had only recently escaped. I didn't want to be here. Hated that I had to pretend that these people treated me kindly all those years. My stomach felt funny as Cassian's strong hands gripped my waist, helping me down from his horse. For a moment, his touch lingered, all warm, steady, almost protective as his fingers pressed lightly against the fabric of the dress he had chosen for me. "Welcome home!" Seraphina's voice says behind us. That fake smile stretched across her lips, the one that never reached her eyes. She stood there in a beautiful gown, looking every bit the perfect future lady of my mate's Kingdom. Vincent was right beside her, his arm loosely around her waist, but his gaze was locked on me and Cassian. Sharp. Calculating. The mate bond between us still hummed faintly, an unwanted echo that made my chest ache even now. I did not want to be affected but as long as there was a bond pulsing
Moon Reaper’s Substitute Bride Chapter 30
~CASSIAN~I followed Elizabeth out into the cool night. The last thing I needed was my people thinking I had gone soft for the Varkas princess. She was still the enemy. Her family was the reason I woke up some nights reaching for a mother who was never coming back.Elizabeth's familiar silhouette moved ahead of me, shoulders tense. I had to fix this misunderstanding before it spread through the village and people started to lose their faith in me."Elizabeth," I called, my voice low.She stopped near the garden's edge and turned. Her expression was carefully controlled, but I knew her too well, there was hurt in the way her arms crossed over her chest. "I am so sorry for interrupting," she said softly. "I didn't mean to walk in on. . .that."I scratched the back of my neck. "Don't apologize. I kind of got carried away in there." The memory of Aurora's soft lips, the way her body had softened against mine, flashed through my mind. I shoved it down hard."Oh." That single word from her

~AURORA~I held my breath as Cassian closed the distance between us in one stride, his strong hands grip my waist with a possessiveness that sent heat rushing through my veins. Before I could even protest, or catch my balance, he lifted me effortlessly and set me down on the kitchen counter. I could feel the warmth from his body and part of me wants to wrap my arms around his neck and hold on tightly.He leaned in close, so close I could feel the heat of his breath against my skin. His eyes searched mine, intense, as if he could read every conflicted thought swirling in my head. "Are you upset about something?" he asks, his voice low and rough, filled with something dangerously close to concern.Why would he ever be concerned about me? It's not like he cared. I bit my lip nervously, the sharp sting leveling me for a second. I wasn't supposed to feel this way—jealous and possessive while wanting more of him. This marriage was only a performance for the council's prying eyes. Cassian

~AURORA~I was jealous and I did not understand why. I pressed my forehead against the cool glass of the window, watching as Cassian's strong hand closed around Elizabeth's smaller one, steadying her as she moved into the passenger seat of his car. The way he smiled at her twisted something sharp and ugly deep in my chest. It was such a soft, natural smile. A smile that he never seemed to give to me before.How close were they, really? The question bothered me.This wasn't just two friends running an errand. His best friend who just happened to be her brother wasn't even tagging along. Just the two of them, driving off into the evening together like it was the most natural thing in the world. Like a date. The thought made my stomach hurt.I should have turned away. I tried to turn away. But my feet stayed rooted, my breath fogging the glass.Cassian lifted his gaze and I quickly hid behind the curtains. I did not want him to catch me spying on them.I could hear the car leaving the

~AURORA~Cassian had me on top of a table, legs parted just enough to feel exposed, my fingers trembling as they traced slow, tentative circles over the damp fabric of my panties. Cassian stood in front of me, his powerful body rigid, eyes locked on every movement I made.The heat in his gaze was dark, hungry, and barely controlled.I could see the war raging inside him. A muscle ticked violently in his sharp jaw, and his chest rose and fell in deep, controlled breaths that weren't quite steady. Every time my fingers pressed a little firmer against my aching core, his throat moved with a hard swallow, and his thighs tensed, the muscles flexing beneath his pants as if he were physically restraining himself from lunging forward."That's it," he rasped, voice low and rough. "Show me, Aurora. Let me watch you."The praise sent a fresh wave of heat flooding through me. Encouraged by the raw need in his tone, I hooked my fingers under the edge of my panties and slowly dragged them aside.
Moon Reaper’s Substitute Bride Chapter 26
~CASSIAN~I was fucking pissed.The kind of rage that burned low in my gut like lava, the kind that made my jaw ache from how hard I was clenching it. How dare that smug, spineless Vincent prick stroll into my house, my territory, and look at my wife like she was already his. Like he had any right to offer her an escape from our marriage, from me.I'd been the one to plant the seed in the first place. I'd been the one whispering in Aurora's ear since our first meeting: Let's make him jealous. Let's push him until he grows a pair and fights the council for you. Until he steals you away and I'm finally free. Well, that last part was only said in my mind. I'd told her we didn't have to play husband and wife behind closed doors. No expectations from each other, just the performance in public so the elders wouldn't sniff out our arrangement.So why the hell did it feel like my blood was boiling at the memory of the way he'd stared at her? The hunger in his eyes, the possessive glint tha
