Caspian's Pov

The house was quiet. It had only been a few hours since Nyx left, but it already felt like days. The walls echoed with silence, mocking me. Her scent was still in the sheets, still on the pillow beside mine, still lingering in the air like a ghost refusing to leave.

I walked around aimlessly. From the bedroom to the kitchen, then to the living room, and back again. Every corner of the house reminded me of her. Her laughter. Her soft voice. Her small touches. The way she always left her books scattered across the coffee table. The way she hummed under her breath while cooking. Even the way she used to roll her eyes when I teased her.

She said she needed to go, to find the cure to my pain. That she needed time away.

But I knew the truth, she was running.

Running from the way I made her feel. Running from the way she looked at me when she thought I wasn’t watching. Running from the bond that was growing between us. I knew it because I was feeling the same way. I was scared

    Nyx's PovI didn’t plan to fall in love. Not with Caspian.Every day, it got harder to lie to myself. Harder to stay in his house and not want more than what we had agreed on. The more time I spent around him, the more I started to crave the things I thought I could never have. I was falling in love with a man I had no business falling for. A man who scared me. A man who made me feel safe. A man I didn’t want to need, but I did.Caspian.He had become everything. And that scared me more than anything.I needed to get out. Just for a while. I needed to breathe. Think. I needed to remember who I was before he kissed me, touched me, held me like I was the only thing in the world that mattered. I needed to stop seeing him everywhere I turned in the house. His scent was everywhere. It followed me, even in my dreams.I sat on the bed and watched him come out of the bathroom, his hair still wet from the shower. When he saw that I was awake, he smiled gently and I returned the smile with a

    Nyx's PovHis words echoed in my head like a whisper I couldn't silence."I want you, Nyx."I stared at him, my heart thudding so loudly I thought it might drown out everything else. The heat between us was thick. My breath hitched when his hand cupped my cheek gently, his thumb brushing my lower lip like he was asking for permission.“We shouldn't.” I whispered, staring into his eyes. I could get lost in how beautiful his eyes were. “I'm asking for your permission, baby. If you don't want me to, then tell me. I'll stop.”And maybe I should have stopped him. Maybe I should have gotten up and walked out, reminded myself of the deal and my mission.But I didn’t.Because I wanted him too.So badly.He leaned in again, slower this time, giving me the chance to move away. But I didn’t. When his lips brushed mine, I kissed him back.Soft. Then deeper.His mouth claimed mine like he’d been waiting for this moment for ages. And maybe we both had. My fingers tangled in his shirt as he stood,

  • The Perfect Revenge Of The Luna Queen    Chapter 21

    Nyx'S Pov Since the day at the orphanage, I've been visiting them every day. Always in the afternoons when I have nothing else to do. And when I'm home, I spend the rest of my time in the library, buried in books. Not the romantic kind. The serious kind. Books on wolves, curses, bloodlines, magic, and ancient healers. Books that talk about pain and the strange ways it affects werewolves. Because Caspian's pain wasn’t ordinary. And even though he never talks about it, I can see it in his eyes. I can feel it in the way his body stiffens when the full moon approaches. The next full moon is in three days. Three days and he’ll go through it again. The screaming. The sweating. The way he locks himself away so no one sees the way his body convulses like it’s trying to split into two. I’ve never seen it up close, but I’ve heard the sounds from behind his locked door. It haunts me. And I don’t want him to suffer like that again. I sat cross-legged on the cold library floor, books

  • The Perfect Revenge Of The Luna Queen    Chapter 20

    Nyx's Pov The ride to the orphanage was quiet but not uncomfortable. Caspian's fingers were laced with mine on the seat between us. I stared out the window, watching the world blur past, trees bending softly with the breeze. There was a calmness to the day, and even though my heart still carried weight, there was also a strange peace I couldn’t explain. When the driver slowed down and took a left turn, my attention snapped to the building ahead. My lips parted slightly. "Wow." The structure before me stood like something out of a fairytale. It was big, but not overwhelming. The walls were painted in soft cream with colorful murals of children, animals, rainbows, and stars. The gate itself had butterflies painted on it. The playground out front looked brand new, swings, slides, a small merry-go-round. Everything looked clean, fresh, and safe. “Who designed this?” I asked, still staring. Caspian smiled beside me. “I did.” I turned to him, blinking. “Seriously?” He nodded. “Ever

    Nyx's Pov It's been two weeks since the gala. And two months since he took me from that bastard, Draven. I felt a chill anytime I wondered what would have happened to me if Caspian hadn't saved me. Because that's what I felt. He saved me from an even bigger monster. Caspian and I have come to a momentary truce. We still sleep in the same room, there's sex and a few stolen kisses and touches. Things I would never admit that I've come to look forward to. We always act like we hate each other and then, when we're alone, I can feel the tension ripple around us. I feel things, things I shouldn't feel for him. Things I would never admit because I'm scared. I loved Zade too and look where that landed me. I chided myself, Caspian was nothing like Zade. He had his moments where he was a complete asshole but aside from that, he took care of me. He spoiled me rotten. And his people, they were very welcoming of me. I felt like I belonged, like this was home. But I knew the truth. I c
