All Chapters of The Alpha’s Banished Luna: Chapter 111 - Chapter 120

╔═━─────━▒ Cassius ▒━─────━═╝The ride back home was a blur. My mind kept drifting. Zenya’s reaction when I’d questioned her, and her father’s words. He might have been standing up for his daughter, but the energy around him, his tone, and the look in his eyes all felt different. Wrong.I didn’t know if I had been imagining it or if it was just what I had truly thought it was. And something about his presence at that time didn’t sit right with me. He’d been oddly daring. He’s been daring since the inception of these incidents.Or perhaps I was thinking too deeply about it. A lot has been going on at once. It has been exhausting and aggravating trying to settle the matters peacefully but they only seem to keep getting worse.The thoughts wash over me like cold water, my mind pacing through so many things at once that it couldn’t properly process. And the most aggravating… the complete lack of proof.The only lead we had was the existence of black magic. The only thing these deaths

❀° ┄───────╮ Sylphiette ╰───────┄ °❀The smell of our intimacy clung to me like sin; reality washed down on me with a heavy feeling but I didn't let myself think about it too much as Cassius carried me out of his office into our bedroom.I listened to the sound of his heart softly beating against my ears, closing my eyes momentarily as my arms coiled around his neck. His wild forest scent, which smelled like home, soothed me, and he moved with elegant grace.The next time my eyes opened, I was in bed and the sky was already a blanket of deep amber hue, and Cassius was gone. A tiny pang shot through me briefly.Just then, my eyes caught a movement from the corner, and I barely rose into a sitting position. His voice hit me first. A high-pitched, squealing giggle resonated through the bedroom, right before his small body glided in like a blur and then he barrelled into me.“Mama!” Kian’s body almost knocked me back down on the bed as he landed on me with a sudden force that ma

❀° ┄───────╮ Sylphiette ╰───────┄ °❀Emily's body dropped with a sickening thud.For a moment, nobody moved. Nobody said a word. One could literally hear a pin drop, and I wasn't even sure anyone was breathing at this moment.Not a sound was heard. Or maybe it was my mind playing tricks on me.And then, it exploded, the chaos. The panic. Feet pattered, bodies scurried about and soon Emily’s body was carried away by Cassius’s guards.Voices boomed everywhere, around me, but none of them reached me. I sat in the chaos, staring into nothingness, my heart playing rickety against my rib cage. My breath didn’t seem to want to come out.Emily’s or rather, the voice that had spoken through her, kept ricocheting in my head. The haunting, pitch-black eyes and the sinister laughter that had boomed in the air, cut through to a part of me that I’ve never felt before.Utter and impossibly devastating fear.I had never felt fear this heavy and brutal before. It taunted me, wrecked me, and

❀° ┄───────╮ Sylphiette ╰───────┄ °❀I woke up before dawn broke.I wasn’t even sure how I had slept—one moment Cassius had been comforting me and the next…Either way, waking up felt even more dreadful than falling asleep. Cassius wasn’t in bed either, deep down, I felt the spark of guilt rub on me before it faded.My heart felt hollow and heavy at the same time, albeit pounding softly in my chest. I slipped out of bed. Draping a silk robe over my nightdress, I made my way to the door, pulling one of the double doors open before I stepped out.The hallway was heavily guarded by guards. You’d think that there was a war coming soon, which I wasn’t too sure wasn’t, from the look of things. But despite all that, I wanted to stay positive-minded, however slight.One of the guards by the door shifted in his frozen stance, his gaze locking onto me. I instantly recognized him. It was Reis. I hadn’t seen him in a while and his presence here felt oddly familiar, so to say.I lifted a

╔═━─────━▒ Cassius ▒━─────━═╝“But, you couldn't even protect him! Sylphie pushed at my chest. “You promised–” her voice cracking on the last word.The words gutted me like a knife cut against my chest, even though I knew it was her pain talking. I could hear it, the agony she was feeling. The sense of broken hollowness that came with losing something precious to you.I felt it too, deep inside, slowly eating away at my sanity.I was sure that I had prepared for the worst. I made sure that the house was secured. I was so sure that I could keep them safe, keep him safe.It was a promise that I made to myself and Sylphie.I hadn't counted on this.Nothing had prepared me for this, and I think nothing could have. And it was utterly devastating.What more was seeing the tear-stained streak running down my mate’s face.I had failed her once again, failed at being her protector when she needed me the most.My feet carried me again towards her but it was her bark that made me pause. “Syl
