Moon Reaper’s Substitute Bride Chapter 65
~CASSIAN~I was losing what little control I had left. The gathering dragged on like a rope tightening around my throat, every polite conversation and forced smile made it pull tighter. This was torture—standing here, pretending like I was happy when I've never felt more miserable in my life. My eyes kept scanning the hall, searching for Aurora's familiar form, but she was nowhere to be seen. The spot where she had been standing moments ago was now vacant, her presence vanished without any indication of when she had left or where she might have gone. My chest tightened with a mix of worry and fury. Where the hell was she?Seraphina immediately noticed my frown, her sharp eyes catching the tension in my jaw. She slid closer, her delicate hand brushing against my arm in a possessive gesture that ignited a flicker of anger within me. "Cassian, darling, you seem distracted," she murmured softly, her voice soft. "There are many people waiting for responses to their questions, and your

~AURORA~The night felt heavier with Vincent still standing there, his presence like a shadow I couldn't escape. I turned to walk deeper into the gardens, desperate to get away, but his hand caught my arm—not hard, but firm enough to stop me. The faint spark of our old mate bond flared weakly at the contact, a painful reminder of what once was. I yanked my hand away, heart pounding.I did not want to hear anything else that he had to say. I did not care. He was no longer important to me. "Vincent, leave me alone," I whispered, voice breaking with the tears I was still fighting. I did not want him to see me cry, especially since these tears had nothing to do with him. He stepped closer, eyes intense under the moonlight. "We need to talk, Aurora. Please. Things are different now."Why did he keep saying that?I laughed bitterly, the sound sharp in the quiet garden. "Different? Seraphina is inside announcing herself as the true princess, the only family I've ever known just threatene

~AURORA~I couldn't stay in that hall a moment longer. The weight of Seraphina's taunts, the pitying and judgmental stares, the reminder of her claims about Cassian, it all pressed down on my chest until I felt like I was suffocating. Tears still blurred my vision as I slipped through a side door, the cool night air hitting my flushed cheeks. I walked deeper into the gardens, arms wrapped tightly around myself. Pain radiated through every breath. How much more could I endure? The announcement, the public humiliation, and now the possibility that Cassian had truly turned to her. . .it was too much. I kept walking, desperate for distance, for a place where I could let the sobs break free without an audience. Especially since I didn't want Seraphina to taunt me anymore. It reminded me of old times and I hated every second of it. My heart felt raw, bleeding from wounds I thought had gotten over long ago—because of my husband. Rounding a corner near a fountain, I collided straight in

~AURORA~The gathering dragged on like a nightmare I couldn't wake from. Cassian remained at the center of it all, surrounded by Moon Reapers and nobles who pressed him with questions and cautious congratulations. I stayed near the edge of the hall, trying to become invisible, but my body felt dull. Every forced smile I managed strained my face. My head throbbed from holding it high, from pretending the whispers didn't cut me to the bone.Seraphina had been circling like a predator all evening, but when Cassian was pulled into a deep discussion with a group of high-ranking warriors, she finally broke away. Her gown moved against the floor as she approached me, that triumphant smile sharpening into something cruel. I never thought this day would come. I thought I had finally gotten away from the Varkas people. Now, I had no choice but to see Seraphina every day. And as long as she was here, I would surely be seeing more of my stepmother. My stomach twisted. I wanted to retreat, to
Moon Reaper’s Substitute Bride Chapter 61
~CASSIAN~I was losing my fucking mind.Standing at the head of the hall, surrounded by my people, I had to force the words out like they were poison on my tongue. Every word tasted like betrayal. I could feel Aurora's presence like a brand against my skin, her small frame somewhere near the back, trying so hard to stay invisible while every eye in the room waited for her to have a reaction. My woman. My wife. The woman I had finally let myself want without the weight of old hatred chaining me. And here I was, forced to announce another woman as my future bride while she watched.I couldn't tell her the truth. Couldn't pull her aside and growl that this was all a temporary farce, that the council's watchers were circling like vultures, ready to punish her the second I showed her any favor. They were everywhere in fine robes who smiled too politely, servants who lingered a second too long. Every second of every fucking day they watched me. I couldn't visit her chambers as often a

~AURORA~I had no choice but to stand there.The grand hall was filled with Moon Reapers and high-ranking nobles, wearing formal attire. Cassian had summoned them for this "important gathering," and as his current wife—however temporary that title now felt, I was expected to attend. My gown felt heavy on my body as I tried to stand still despite the wild beating of my heart. I kept my spine straight, chin lifted, even as my hands trembled at my sides. Every eye in the room seemed fixed on me, waiting for the moment I would finally fall apart. Maybe they were all hoping for it to happen. No one here liked me. No one ever did. Cassian stood at the head of the hall, looking powerful, but I caught the tension in his jaw, the way his eyes flicked toward me more than once. Seraphina lingered near him, in bright red, her triumphant smile barely hidden. I tried to stay strong. I had to. Breaking down here, in front of them all, would only give Seraphina more satisfaction. The murmurs st

~AURORA~I stared at Vincent, unable to form any words from the shock of his offer. He was actually asking me if I wanted to escape this marriage? A bitter laugh almost escaped my mouth. Was Cassian's plan to make him jealous already working better than either of us had anticipated?He was the one
Moon Reaper’s Substitute Bride Chapter 22
~AURORA~This was the first time Seraphina and her mother had ever greeted me with anything resembling warmth, and I wasn't foolish enough to believe it was genuine. "Vincent is here as well," Seraphina announced sweetly, her eyes gleaming with malicious delight as she waited for my reaction. “He

~AURORA~"Your family will be here today."Cassian's voice cut through the quiet morning. I stiffened where I stood, the cup in my hand suddenly feeling far too fragile. The words immediately worsen my mood.He watched me closely, leaning against the kitchen counter with casual grace, an apple held
Moon Reaper’s Substitute Bride Chapter 20
~CASSIAN~Fuck me.I'd spent the last half hour in the shower with my fist wrapped tight around my aching cock, pumping furiously, chasing a release that refused to come. The bastard wouldn't behave. It throbbed in my grip, heavy and hard, like it had a mind of its own. And right now, that mind wa
