All Chapters of The cruel alpha’s hired Luna: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Cassian’s POVI forgot.I genuinely forgot That’s the only excuse I have. The only reason I walked into my room like nothing he changed, pulled off my shirt, and jumped knot bed wogboutveven bothering to turn on the switch.Not like I ever turned it on anyway What was their to see, except that maybe sisi had curled up in my bed again.Escaped her Nannies and is hiding under the duvet.The room was dark. Quiet.The way I liked it.A small figure was already nestled in the sheets. I assumed it was Sisi.So when I reached out and grabbed a waist—not a child’s but a woman’s—my blood ran cold.“Still awake, Sisi?” I murmured.The figure stiffened beneath my arm. Definitely not Sisi.And then it occurred to me.“Selena?” I sounded shocked and I hated it, I was never startled. At least not until now.She turned toward me slowly, I could see the reflection of the moonlight in her eyes.“I’d say ‘surprise,’ but you look more confused than startled.”“I thought…” I dragged a hand down my fa

Cassian’s POVI hadn’t slept in my own bed in days.Selena was still there.Still warm.It was worse because I was the one that suggested she stays in my room.Amd now? Going back on my words wasn’t an option.I could already imagine the sarcastic laughter she would haveAnd then she should make one of her rude remarks.I hated it.Hated that I had already imagined every scenario in my headThe thought was still haunting my thoughts every damn second.So, instead of going back there.I remained in my study… It was a plus anyway because the cold and silence made it easier for me to think and much easier for me to lie to myself.I’d grown used to the stiff cushion on the leather couch, the ache in my back, and the bitter company of my own thoughts. Anything was better than waking up to her scent on my pillow.A knock landed on the door. Twice. Then it opened anyway.Because of course it did.I didn’t bother looking up, cause I already knew who it was.“Brooding again?” Conrad strolled i

Cassian’s POV“What the hell is taking her so long?”I cursed under my breath as I drummed my fingers on the arm rest in the car.The sound of the car engine continued even though I was still up sef and everything else felt like it had come to an abreupt end.She was testing me.That had to be it.We were already behind schedule. The Council Ball wasn’t something you walked into like a village bonfire. Nobles, diplomats, high-ranking alphas—they’d all be there. Watching. Measuring. Judging.And she was keeping us waiting. despite all my emphasis Again.I turned to the front. “Go check. If she isn’t down in the next two minutes—”“Alpha!” I turned around to the sound of the voice that just called me.To my surprise a maid threw herself on the floor.. She bowed quickly, fiddling with her apron. “Please, forgive the delay. The designer just finished up. There was… an issue.”I narrowed my eyes. “What kind of issue?”She swallowed hard. “The makeup artist arrived late. And then, um, sh

Selena’s POVI was sinking and I didn’t even have s way out.Ever since the announcement, I haven’t said a word.Not to Cassian.Not to Sisi.Not even to myself.It was hard to come up with any Especially when my body went into full shock from the announcement Cassian had made earlier.Through at the rest of the ball, I was just physically present. My soul? Well it had travelled completely.I could still afford to smile when necessary and attend to sisi. But my mind?Gone.Back to that moment. That damn moment.“This is Selena. My mate.”Tye words repeated loudly in my head and I felt myself going deep into my imaginations.I hated how my heart reacted, hiw it drummed the minute he held my hands, like it had been waiting.Drumming loud enough to drown out common sense.Even now, as I sat at the back of this carA car that I had barely even taken note of the name.With sisi in between us like a wall.I liked it.In a way.i tried to steal glances at Cassian who was sitted Bt tye opp

Cassian’s POV The fireplace continued burning. Burning to the extent that the wood was almost completely burnt. But the thing was I barely noticed. My eyes remained on the same sentence om the war report for tye oast ten minutes. My brain barely even processed anything i was looking at… but I knew it was something about patrol schedules and a border near the east ridge. But I couldn’t even bring myself to finish reading it. Because the house was too quiet. And that silence was deafening. Where was Sisi’s humming? Her footsteps? That little knock she did when she wanted to “sneak” into the study and steal my pen? I leaned forward, elbows on the table, dragging a hand down my face. Was I distracted? No. I was being cautious. Strategic. I needed to stay sharp, focused. That’s what I told myself. At least, until the door slammed open. “Alpha!” One of the younger maids stumbled in, her eyes wide, face pale. “It’s Sisi. She—she’s seizing. In her room. It’s… it’s really bad—
