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
Moon Reaper’s Substitute Bride Chapter 60
~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
Moon Reaper’s Substitute Bride Chapter 59
~CASSIAN~The sight of Aurora on the floor felt like a blade to the gut. Those wide, soft eyes were red and devastated. A raw, aching protectiveness grew inside me at the sight of her like that. She looked so small. So broken. My wife. The woman I had finally allowed myself to want without the chains of Varkas' blood holding me back.And now she knew. Somehow, she fucking knew that Seraphina was here to get married to me. She shouldn't know this. I specifically asked everyone to keep this from her. I wanted to be the first person to tell her the truth. So then, who had opened their fucking mouth? I stepped inside, closing the door, but my mind was losing its grip. How the hell had the truth reached her so fast? I had planned to tell her gently, to pull her into my arms and shield her from the worst of it. Instead, here she was, devastated on the floor because of me—because of this entire cursed situation. I never wanted this to happen. But Seraphina was only here so that I could b
Moon Reaper’s Substitute Bride Chapter 58
~AURORA~I remained leaning against the cold wooden door, knees drawn tightly to my chest as if I could physically hold my falling-apart world together.The tears wouldn't stop. Trails carved paths down my cheeks, soaking the neckline of my dress. I could not believe this was happening to me. Did not want to believe this was even possible. Seraphina's cruel laughter still echoed in my ears, she was overjoyed that this was happening. Why would she be? She never wanted to marry a moon reaper in the first place. Her family forced me into this marriage so that she wouldn't have to marry Cassian. So then why was she so thrilled about it now? What could be her reason? Was she just doing it to watch me suffer? He's divorcing you. Her words repeated relentlessly. Divorcing me? Please no. What came next? Would they drag me out from here like I never belonged? Would they throw me out on the streets?Or worse, throw me back to the Varkas wolves who had never truly wanted me? The people tha
Moon Reaper’s Substitute Bride Chapter 57
~AURORA~Suitcases. So many of them. What on earth was happening?My heart pounded, a wild, desperate rhythm. I needed him. Cassian. Needed his strong arms around me, his rough voice explaining that this was all just some type of nightmare that I would soon wake up from.The council meeting, the danger he'd been facing for my sake, the way he'd looked wrecked upon his return, it all pointed to something bad. And now Seraphina? Here?A sharp knock echoed through the room, cutting through my thoughts. I froze mid-step, breath catching in my throat. Cassian. It had to be him. Coming to explain, why he'd pushed me away earlier and why that woman had arrived with enough luggage to stay for months. I rushed to the door, nearly tripping over my dress in my haste. My fingers trembled on the handle.I flung the door open. "Cassian, I—"The words died instantly.Seraphina stood there in the doorway, tall and radiant, a triumphant smile curving her full lips. Her eyes—all sharp and cruel, gle
Moon Reaper’s Substitute Bride Chapter 56
~CASSIAN~I stood like a statue in the courtyard, arms crossed over my chest, every muscle tensed with barely controlled fury as Seraphina stepped from the car like she was already queen of this fucking place. Her gown hugged her curves as though she couldn't wait to seduce me, and that smug, triumphant smile on her face made my blood boil. She looked happy. As if arriving here was some grand victory instead of the council's stupid attempt to stop the bloodshed between both of our families. Suitcases—fuck, so many suitcases were unloaded behind her, she definitely thought she was here to stay. She didn't realize I was waiting for the right opportunity to push her back out. I hated every inch of it. Hated her. Hated the council for forcing this thing down my throat even after knowing I was married to Aurora. "Seraphina," I say, trying not to growl. A pair of council watchers—stern-faced men sent to oversee this arrangement—stood a respectful distance away, their eyes sharp on eve
Moon Reaper’s Substitute Bride Chapter 24
~CASSIAN~What the fuck?The moment my eyes landed on her face, the world narrowed to a single, ugly mark.A bruise stained the delicate curve of Aurora's cheekbone. But that wasn't all. Her lower lip was split, a thin line of blood already drying at the corner of her mouth. The sight made my bloo
Moon Reaper’s Substitute Bride Chapter 23
~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
