Semua Bab The Alpha’s Banished Luna: Bab 11 - Bab 20

❀° ┄───────╮Sylphiette╰───────┄ °❀“You have a lot of nerves coming back here, traitor.” She sneered, stepping it.The sight of her slammed me with those painful memories again. Of heart-shattering screams and a perfectly wrong moment. After all, she’d been the one to eagerly alert the pack of my said crime.My blood curled at the recollection and her presence. I didn't bother to know she’d suddenly appeared here like a vengeful vixen.Zenya’s the daughter of the pack’s former Beta. Her father’s now a council member of the pack, if my memories serve me correctly.Even when I was Luna, she and I never got off on the same foot. I’d always sensed the feeling of animosity from her and I wasn't sure why.But I guessed she just didn't like me.“You should have stayed in hell and never crawled out of that pit,” she spat, starting towards me, stalkingly. “Traitors like you—”But I'd already had enough of her insinuating words.“I'm not a traitor, Zenya. I’d rather you not call me that.” I s

❀° ┄───────╮Sylphiette╰───────┄ °❀I watched Kian scribble on a sketchbook. After the ordeal with Zenya and Cassius, I needed to clear my head from unwanted thoughts and the memories that kept haunting me. Plus Kian wasn't exactly done with the house exploration.I somewhat felt bad for being so curt with him but I couldn't help it. I couldn't stand being around him now after all these years, after all the turmoil of my past.And the past hurt deeper with my current situation.I tried not to think about it. Shoving down every dark thought in my head, I focus on watching my son scatter around the house he’d never been in, never grew up in nor will he ever. This was only temporary. Still I couldn't stop the smile that curled my lips with satisfaction as I watched him.He’d call me at every turn, asking me things with eyes gleaming with wide curiosity. For once he looked happy and I couldn't bring myself to stop him. He deserved this much.Our little tour ended at the open seat out nex

❀° ┄───────╮Sylphiette╰───────┄ °❀I couldn't bring myself to lie to her. Nerina had always been like a little sister to me even though circumstances had pulled us apart for years.So even now, as she sat across from me with Kian in her arms and eyes that searched mine for answers she already suspected to be true, I couldn't tell her otherwise.That's why I found myself slowly nodding.The smile on Nerina’s face was instant, her eyes twinkled with delight.“I’m so glad.” She said, looking down at Kian, her hand still patting his hair. “This means you have a reason to stay,” and then her gaze met mine. “You have my brother’s heir. Even the council wouldn't deny that.” She smiled.And now I couldn't bring myself to tell her she was wrong. That I wouldn't be staying. That Kian being Cassius’s son doesn't change anything. I would protect him from the council and anyone else and this was just a temporary measure until my wounds were fully healed.Instead, I found myself reaching for the

❀° ┄───────╮ Sylphiette ╰───────┄ °❀I sat by the window, mindlessly sipping on herbal tea.The aroma it was giving off was soothing and refreshing. A soft, leafy fragrance that slowly ebbed away my trepidations.Margaret and the rest of the servants were already long gone after they’d helped me freshen up for the night. They were kind enough to also apply the healing salve that Doctor Harlan had given to me to properly heal my wounds.Dinner wasn't due till the next thirty minutes. I guess that's what made me feel nervous. Seeing Cassius again.Not because I felt intimidated by his brooding, tall figure or his scent that called to a deep part of me that I thought had long been severed.But each moment in his presence always felt as though he would unravel me at any time. The feeling alone was frightening.I found my peace again when I looked up at Kian; he’d long awoken from his afternoon nap and I'd been with him from that moment on. Now, he was sitting on the fluffy, wh

╔═━─────━▒ Cassius ▒━─────━═╝“How long do you plan on ignoring me, Cassius?” Zenya’s snarky voice drew the final line at my patience.I sighed and looked up at the Beta woman who had been trying to get my attention.It’s been an hour since she got here, and I thought she would get the message that I didn’t want her here, but unfortunately, she’d been adamant about staying and wrecking my focus. Her piercing green eyes watched me with irk, and if I sensed correctly, the look was clouded by her deep annoyance, a want for my attention.Begrudgingly, I finally put down the file in my hand and leaned back against my seat.“What do you want, Zenya?” I inquired dryly and crossed my right leg over the other. My head cocked to the side to rest on my knuckles and I waited for her response.But that only seemed to irk her even more—her arched brow twitched before they dragged her face into a frown.What the hell did she want?“Well?” I pressed on, feeling my patience starting to wane. “I’m
