Twenty One: King vs Wrong

EIRA

“It’s good to see you all, but it’s been a long journey,” Cassian announces. “Tomorrow, we will have a banquet, so please, you can all retire for the day.”

“Welcome back, Your Majesty,” everyone choruses and soon, they disperse until it’s just Lysandra and the rest of us left.

Cassian glares at the elder. “There’s no need to move it up, Kalem.” He turns to me and say, “Come on, I’ll get you both situated.”

We all follow behind Cassian into the palace, Lysandra frowning and Jafeth dragging my single suitcase. He hasn’t said a word since we returned.

The palace hallways is still the same. I remember when Cassian dragged me through this very hallway that night, like he couldn’t wait to have me.

“My King, after you left, I could not rule as Queen, only as Luna,” Lysandra speaks, dragging me from my thoughts. “Kalem is right. We should go ahead with the coronation immediately.”

“And I said ‘no’, Lysandra.” Cassian snaps.

Kalem sighs, rushing up to Cassian. “Y

    Twenty Two: Luna LysandraEIRAIt can’t be!Cold sweat trickles down my spine at her declaration.My lips press into a thin line, face hard, but my heart is thudding wildly in my chest.“Who am I, then, Luna?” I ask, jaw tight.“You’re a whore,” she spits. “Looking for gullible Alphas so you can sink your filthy claws in them. Literally.”I do a double-take when I realize she doesn’t actually know who I am.A breath of relief leaves my lungs, and I rise to my feet. “Trust me, Luna. I want absolutely nothing to do with Cassian.”I slap a hand over my mouth.“Cassian?” Her eyes widen, jaw dropping. “You addressed the king by his name?”Goddess! I’ve messed up, haven’t I?“It was a slip, Luna.” I dip my head.She scoffs. “You can call me Lysandra too. Let’s drop the titles, right?”“I didn’t mean to, I’m sorry, Luna.”“The King will hear about this…this disrespect!” She points her index finger at me, red-painted nails seeming more like a weapon than fashion. “From an Omega no less.”My j

    Twenty: The PalaceEIRA~ TWO DAYS LATER~“Are you tired?” Cassian asks Kael, handing him an opened bottle of water.Kael shakes his head excitedly. “No.”Well, good for him, but I am so exhausted. We’ve been walking for days, and luckily for us, we’ve not been attacked by rogues or any other animals.Cassian’s warriors, Henrik and Reese—I didn’t recognize them—came prepared with food, snacks and lots of water. They walk in front of us.“I never asked,” Cassian says. “What happened after I left?”Henrik looks over his shoulder with a sigh. “Your Majesty, we lost some lives. Some rogues managed to escape, others didn’t.”“Goddess, how many?” Cassian’s jaw ticks.“Five died,” Reese replies. “While twelve were severely injured. Bellamy, the pack doctor, was able to heal them.”“It did take days though,” Henrik adds.I remember Bellamy. She nursed me back to health after I had passed out from the rejection. She was the last person I saw before leaving Ashabane that night.Cassian’s face c

    Nineteen: The Name “Eira”CASSIAN[The Next Day]“There he is!” Reese exclaims the moment he comes into view. “Your Majesty!”He runs, slamming into me so hard I stagger back. His arms wrap around me, tight.“You’re alive!” He says, and I pat his back twice, breaking the hug.The rest of my warriors come into view, Henrik and Darcy. They all stare up at me in awe, shock… and a series of emotions.“Y-your Majesty.” Darcy breaks into tears. She falls to her knees, gripping my legs. “We thought we lost you, we couldn’t find you. We looked everywhere!”“She’s right, Your Majesty,” Henrik adds with a nod. “It’s great to see you alive and well.”I clear my throat, and Darcy lets go of my legs, her cheeks tinging. She bows.“It’s good to have you all here, thank you for coming,” I say, voice clear.The sun gently rises over the horizon, casting a warm glow over the dark morning clouds.“We came as soon as you sent word to us,” Reese responds. “When do we take our leave? The pack and the plac

    Eighteen: Home And GoodbyeEIRA“Cassian is leaving at dawn tomorrow,” Alpha David says after we’ve settled in his office, door shut. “And I’ve heard the rumors.”I sigh. “That I’m leaving with him, right?”“Right.” His head bobs.My lips press into a thin line, knees bouncing and thumbs twiddling. Alpha David just leans in his chair, brows raised.“Is it true?” He breaks the suffocating silence.A lump works its way down my throat. “Is what true?”“Don’t be coy, Eira.” He snorts a laugh. “Are the rumors true? Are you leaving with the king?”When I don’t respond, he continues. “There’s no right or wrong answer. I want you to know that.”“Did Cassian tell you anything?”His brows furrow. “Like what?”“I don’t know.” I shrug. “Did he say anything, about—”“If you’re asking if he started the rumor, then no.” He exhales. “He came here to talk, and then he informed me he was leaving. I asked about you, which he was quite frankly surprised about.”Alpha David huffs out a laugh. “He said he

    Seventeen: Betrayed EIRA I can’t sleep. Tears leak from the corners of my eyes, cold air nipping at my skin. Soft sand filters through my fingers as I stare at the thick brushes, and trees in the distance. It’s my fault. I should’ve fought harder against the pull, I should’ve stopped myself. And it’s all my fault. The truth is, I can say no. I can tell Alpha David to talk with Cassian. I can choose not to go. But… I’m at the mercy of the bond. At least that’s what I keep telling myself. Guilt. It gnaws at me, chewing up my insides and threatening to spit it out. Despite everything that has happened, being around Cassian has been the most comforting time of my life. And I can try to deny it, I can try to hate it… curse it. But I don’t. Footsteps pad from behind me, the familiar scent identifies him before he comes into view. Cassian sits beside me on the sandy ground, legs spread out in front of him. Warmth floods my body, his scent thicker. Crickets chirp, the wind howls,
