Fifty-Four: The King And His Queen

CASSIAN

I haven’t seen Eira since yesterday afternoon.

It shouldn't surprise me, actually. Since our return, she’s been avoiding me in every way. All I needed was to warn her about the coronation that is about to happen.

To tell her that it doesn’t mean anything. That she’s still the one I want and need. That all this is just for the pack—as usual.

Goddess, I want to see her.

But I can’t. Not when I’m surrounded by Omegas as they all try to dress me.

It’s a whole fuss.

There’s a soft knock on the door, and Quentin pokes his head in.

My eyes go round when I spot him, brow raised.

He shakes his head. “She isn’t coming.”

My entire being deflates.

I sent Quentin to persuade Eira, since they’re friends. And like you guessed, she turned us both down.

“Wh-what about Kael?” I ask, wincing when an Omega tugs my robe hard. “That hurts.”

“Sorry, Your Majesty.” He loosens his hold.

“Kael is with the other pups,” Quentin replies. “They’re getting dressed.”

    Fifty-Eight: To CeremoniesCASSIANI’m barely a foot inside the palace, when Lysandra spots me. Her lips twisted in a scowl, eyes hard…furious.“Where have you been?” She hisses, eyes darting around to make sure no one is listening. “I’ve been looking and waiting for you.”My stare is blank when I look at her. I don’t really give a damn. Not after Eira has ended things before they even began.And goddess, I don’t blame her. Not one bit.“I’m here now,” I mutter dryly.She sighs, and pulls me into a hug which takes me by utter surprise. Once I register her body on mine, I try to shrug her off but she doesn’t budge.“You smell like that omega. The runt to be specific,” she spits. “What would people say if they smell someone else on you. It’s a god awful smell.”I frown and push her off. “Stop it! Does it look like I care? You went on to do this coronation without my consent, nor my input!”“You’re still sore about that? It’s been done, Cassian. I’m Queen now.”My jaw ticks, and I march

    Fifty-Seven: Final ThreadEIRAHe runs a hand through his hair, messing up the sleekness.“But that’s okay,” I quickly add. “It’s okay if you care about your pack. You wouldn’t be so loved if you didn’t, and I don’t fault you for it in any way.”“I should care about myself more.”“A good leader is selfless.”“For how long?” He rasps, eyes red-rimmed. “How long will I continue to forsake and forfeit my happiness for my pack, for my kingdom?”He stands to his feet, stepping closer to me and I can’t maintain the eye contact. It’s not doing anything for my aching heart and so I turn away.“Go to your Luna. I believe there’s a banquet set up for both of you…to celebrate.”“I don’t want to!” He shouts. “Why do you keep pushing me into her arms? I’m trying to talk about us, Eira—”“There’s no us! Can’t you see? It. Is. Not. Possible!” I grit out. “We’ve tried but it cannot work, Cassian. I’m not pushing you into her arms, I’m reminding you that you have a Luna you should treat with respect!”

    Fifty-Six: I Wouldn’t Believe YouEIRAAs soon as Oliver disappears from sight, I tug my arm from Cassian’s grip, glaring. “What do you want?”His jaw ticks. Without responding, he takes my hand and drags me further across the lake, and to a more secluded spot.I follow him grudgingly, my legs struggling to catch up with his brisk pace.When he eventually stops, I snatch my hand and cross my arms, unimpressed. My eyes are hard, lips pressed into a thin line.“Don’t get mad,” he says. “I just need to talk.”“You’ve dragged me here haven’t you? You can start talking. You’ve got my attention now.”“There’s no need to be hostile, Eira.” He frowns.I scoff. “Hostile? I’m not hostile, I’m upset. You rudely interrupted a conversation I was having, and then you dragged me here! Forgive me if I’m not smiling at you right now.”His Adam’s apple bobs on a swallow, and with a sigh, he sinks to the ground.“I’m sorry. It was uncouth of me.” Then, he pats the space beside him. “Can we talk?”The go

    Fifty-five: The ProposalEIRAThe moment I burst out of the arena, I can finally breathe.My lungs expand, taking in much needed air. Tears prick the back of my eyes but I blink them away.Goddess, it hurts.The mark on my neck, the severed bond in my chest, even my new found wolf whines at the back of my mind.I welcome the cool air, as my feet lead me down the path toward the clearing.I’d known about the coronation. I’d known how badly Cassian wanted to talk to me about it. Probably to assure me, or ask for more time.But I had to protect my heart. Seeing him will do more harm than good. He has a duty to his pack, and I have to respect that.“Eira!”I freeze, frowning.Slowly, I turn around and exhale in relief when I see it isn’t Cassian, but rather the warrior that came with Quentin that day.“Hi?” I mentally face-palm when his name refuses to appear in my mind. “I’m so sorry, what’s your name again?”He smiles softly. “It’s Oliver.”Right.“Okay, hi Oliver,” I say stupidly.“Whe

    Fifty-three: Game OverCASSIAN“Who sent this in?” I ask Reece, clutch the envelope in my grip.He shrugs and bows. “I’m only the messenger, Your Majesty.”Goddess.“How many people have this?”“The Luna has already ordered for preparations to be made. You’re probably the last to hear about it.”“The last?!” My voice booms across the hall. I pick the bridge of my nose. “Where is Lysandra?”“Either in the kitchen or the banquet hall.”My jaw tightens, and I march down to the kitchen first, Reece hot on my heels.“Where’s Hnerik?”“Probably with the Luna.”I whirl on him, eyes blazing. “Are you not sure of anything that goes on this goddamn place? Where the hell is everyone when I need them?”He swallows. “I’m sorry. I can find out their exact location—”Crumpling up the invite, I toss it into the nearest bin and walk past his apology.“Your Majesty,” Olga greets once I step into the quite rowdy kitchen.Everyone is running around, some bump into me and mutter frantic apologies before c
