Twenty Three: Secrets and Trust

EIRA

We’ve been in mourning for the past three days. Thankfully, it ended yesterday.

Cassian had passed a decree that we should honor the wolves we—they—lost during the hunt for the child of prophecy.

These past few days have been solemn, quiet. And at midnight, they all howl to the goddess. I didn’t join the howling ceremonies, how could I?

But today, we have a banquet in a few hours to celebrate the return of Cassian.

Being in the palace is so much different th

    CHAPTER 75: THE REVEALINGEIRA'S POVThe blanket slips through my fingers and hits the floor with a muffled thud.My wolf has been clawing at my insides all morning, restless and agitated in a way that makes my skin prickle. I've tried to ignore her, tried to bury myself in mindless counting, but the anxiety coiling in my gut refuses to be silenced.Something is wrong.The door explodes inward before I can even process the sound of running footsteps.Quentin bursts into the room, his face ashen, eyes wide with something that looks dangerously close to panic."Eira." He gasps my name like it's been ripped from his lungs. "Kael. The training arena. He's, you need to come. Now."The world tilts.I don't ask questions. Don't waste precious seconds demanding explanations.I run.My feet barely touch the ground as I tear through the corridors after Quentin. Other pack members flatten themselves against walls as we pass, their faces blurring into nothing. My heart hammers so violently I can

    SHATTERED HEART EIRA'S POVI can't breathe.The words Lysandra just said keep echoing in my head, over and over, until they're all I can hear.I'm pregnant. With your pup.You'll be nothing again. Just another servant in my palace.My hands are shaking. My whole body is shaking.I'm still standing in Cassian's office, frozen in place, while he stares at the door Lysandra just walked through like he can't quite believe what just happened."Eira…" he starts, turning to me."Is it true?" The words come out before I can stop them. "Did you sleep with her three weeks ago?"His face crumples. "I don't know. I don't remember that night. I remember having dinner with her and some board members. I remember feeling strange, dizzy. And then I woke up in her bed the next morning with no memory of how I got there."Each word is a knife to my chest."So it could be true," I hear myself say. My voice sounds distant, like it's coming from someone else."Eira, please…" Cassian takes a ste

    THE LUNA'S GAMBIT LYSANDRA'S POVI stare at my reflection in the ornate mirror of the guest room, the guest room, like I'm some common visitor in my own palace, and feel rage bubbling beneath my carefully composed surface.Three days.Three days since Cassian humiliated me in front of the entire pack, having those pathetic Omegas drag my belongings out of our room like I was nothing.Three days of whispers following me everywhere I go.Three days of watching from a distance as he moves through the palace with that look on his face, content, almost happy, while I rot in this corner room far from everything that matters.And I know why.Her.That Omega with her innocent eyes and soft smiles. The one who's somehow managed to worm her way into spaces she has no business being.I've seen the way Cassian looks at her when he thinks no one's watching. The way his whole demeanor changes when she's near. The way he defended her, chose her, over me, his Luna.I don't have proof. Not y

    The Breaking PointEIRA'S POVI feel him before I fully wake, the heat of his hand moving slowly up my side, the way his breathing has changed from the steady rhythm of sleep to something heavier, more deliberate.My eyes flutter open in the darkness, and I find Cassian staring at me with an intensity that steals my breath."I'm sorry," he whispers, but his hand doesn't stop moving. "I tried to let you sleep. I tried to behave. But you're wearing this…" his fingers brush the sheer fabric of my nightgown, "and you're in my bed, and I can't…"He stops himself, jaw clenching.I can feel his struggle. The war between what he thinks he should do and what he desperately wants. And I can feel something else too, the hardness pressing against my hip through his trousers, insistent and impossible to ignore.Heat pools low in my belly."You can't what?" I whisper, shifting closer to him.His eyes darken. "I can't keep my hands off you."My heart is already racing, but at those words,

    THE SECRET OF USEIRA'S POV"Always," Quentin replies. Then, quieter: "The whole palace is talking about what happened. About the Alpha throwing the Luna out of his room."Of course they are."Did you give Kael the medicine this morning?" I ask, changing the subject.Quentin nods. "Just like you said. In his breakfast. He didn't even notice."Good. One less thing to worry about.I set Kael down and crouch to his level. "The Alpha wants to see us. Can you be a good boy and come with Mommy?"His eyes widen. "The Alpha? Why?""He just wants to talk," I assure him, smoothing his hair. "Nothing scary, I promise."We make our way to Cassian's office, and with each step, my heart beats a little faster. What does he want to talk about? What exactly does "everything" mean?When we reach the heavy oak door, I hesitate for just a moment before knocking."Come in," Cassian's voice calls from inside.I push open the door, keeping Kael's hand firmly in mine.Cassian is standing by the w

    TO THE EAST WINGEIRA'S POVThe three Omegas, Abby, Beth, and Claire, stand frozen at the doorway, their eyes wide as they glance between Cassian and Lysandra.No one moves.The tension in the hallway is thick enough to choke on, and I can feel every eye in the palace secretly watching from wherever they are hiding. The whispers will spread like wildfire by nightfall."I said get in there and move her things," Cassian repeats, his voice dropping to that dangerous calm that makes even the bravest wolves shrink back. "Now."Lysandra steps forward, blocking the doorway with her body. "You can't do this, Cassian. I am your Queen. his is my room just as much as it is yours.""Was," Cassian corrects, his jaw so tight I can see the muscle ticking. "It was your room. Not anymore.""The elders won't stand for this," Lysandra hisses, her composure cracking. "You can't just throw me out like some common…""Like some common what?" Cassian cuts in, taking a step closer. "Say it, Lysandra. Go
