All Chapters of The Alpha’s Banished Luna: Chapter 31 - Chapter 35

❀° ┄───────╮ Sylphiette ╰───────┄ °❀Red hot anger flared through me. But it wasn't for—my newly appointed personal guard—Reis.My anger flared towards someone else—a certain someone to be precise. As though restricting my movement wasn't enough, he puts a guard on me too?I know I should be grateful for the extra protection—Cassius is doing exactly what he said he would do—protecting me—but it only made my abated anger flare. I couldn't help but think that he was doing so excessively.The ones around the house were visible enough and overwhelming. I didn't need a bodyguard following me around. Now it just felt as though he was preparing for a war I didn't know about.“This is ridiculous. I don't need a guard. Please leave.” I gritted as calmly as I could.Reis didn't meet my gaze when he said. “I’m afraid I can't do that. I’ve been ordered by my Alpha to do so.” His voice was calm but firm as he maintained his poise; his hand over one of his pecs and his head bowed at me.

I’m still trying to figure it out,” he said, stepping closer. “But I promise I’ll tell you everything when I do. You just have to trust me on this.” his voice cracked, almost desperate. As though he was trying to hold onto a slipping rope.But I shook my head, “How am I supposed to trust you?” I mutter, taking a step back. I lowered my head, avoiding his gaze and I wrapped my arms around myself as though to protect myself. “How am I supposed to trust yo

❀° ┄───────╮ Sylphiette ╰───────┄ °❀By the time Kian and I returned to our room, it was sunset, but what I saw from the doorway the moment I opened the door to enter had me pausing.My room was a bustle of servants roaming around. Something about it felt completely odd.“Wh–What is going on here?” I asked, my voice soft as I stood shell-shocked at the threshold.The maids in the room paused at the sound of my voice, then turned to look at me and bowed before continuing with their various duties.But just then, Margaret slipped out of the bathroom.“My lady,” she called softly. Her face was wrapped with warmth as she smiled delightfully at me.My face furrowed with a frown as I watched her cross the room. “I was just about to come look for you. Come on, let’s get you prepared for dinner.”My brow raised at her announcement. All this just for dinner? I usually had dinner brought up to my room for Kian and me and it didn't take all of this preparation to set it up. This felt
