All Chapters of Moonblood: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Thirty-Two: Nighttime WhispersEIRAIs it foolishness to assume that this child of prophecy is not Kael? That there’s other pups born of royal blood with white hair?Cassian frowns. “I would argue that one cannot possibly have white hair but…my former mate had white hair.”Gaza’s eyes briefly cut to mine, and I swallow thickly.“Yea, I think I remember that oddity.” Lysandra nods.“White hair is only common among the moonblood line,” Gaza explains, and it takes everything in me not to run out of here. “Prophecies surround them.”“So, do we have any ideas where they can be? Maybe if we find their pack…” Cassian trails off.Gaza shakes his head. “There’s only a handful of survivors. And no one knows where they could be. But if you find your former mate, she can lead us there.”My heart literally stops, mouth going dry.“Do you think she’s still alive? She fainted from the rejection that day,” Cassian speaks and Jafeth nods in agreement.“You’re right.” Gaza hums. “We don’t know for sure

Thirty-four: Crossed LinesEIRAMy breath hitches. “Oh.”“Yea.” He nods. “There’s rumors about an upcoming war, and it’s edging closer and closer to the palace.”“And…what if you can’t find her?”His eyes darken. “That is not an option.”He moves toward the door, then pauses. “By the way, who is Kael’s father?”“What?” A lump lodges in my throat, my spine stiffens.“Kael’s father,” he turns with raised brows, “who is he?”“W-why?”He shrugs. “This sudden unconsciousness could be hereditary. It’s good to cover all bases just in case.”“I understand,” I reply. “But I’m sure it’s not hereditary.”“And how do you know that?”Sweat beads trickle down my spine. “I just do.”Disbelief floods his face, his lips stretch into a thin line. “Why are you hiding his identity?”“I’m not—”“Yes, you are,” he snaps. “Your pup is in critical condition and you don’t think the father could be the cause?”I clamber up from the floor, bristling. “It still won't change anything.”“But at least you’ll have a

Thirty-Six: Luna-1, Omega-0EIRACassian and Jafeth shut the door behind them, and I’m left with Lysandra and Kael.“Luna, I’m—”She glares, cutting me off. “I don’t need your pity. Take your lowlife self and son, and get out of my room.”Her words prick, it brings memories of the bullying I endured even by fellow Omegas. But that’s not me anymore, I’ve only been trying to accord her the respect as Luna.I press my lips together, and raise a chilling brow. “I have never asked to take your place, Lysandra. The hate you have for me is misplaced.”“So you want to dictate my feelings and thoughts, too?” Her eyes lift to mine, and she scoffs in disbelief. “If this gets out, Eira, I will come for you and not even Cassian will save you.”I snort. “I have no business spreading gossip, no matter how truthful it is. I just want to leave with my son.”“Then leave!” She snaps, arms crossed. “Goddess, since you came here things have gone south.”My eyes lock on hers, and so many thoughts swim in m

Thirty-Eight: The BookEIRA“We need to talk, Eira dear,” Esme says after inspecting Kael. Her face is solemn, lips curled downward.My heart lurches. “W-what is it?”She closes the dark blinds, and sits beside me on the bed. Her behavior increases my panic, my heart racing.“You dyed his hair,” she murmurs, patting my arms. “Kael is an Alpha, and we’ve heard the rumours. The white hair.”I swallow thickly. “What are you saying, Esme?”“I’m saying he needs his hair to remain white, Eira. And yours too.”With a sigh, she walks over to one of her cupboards and returns with a thick brown leather book, strings of twine wrapped around it.When she slaps and blows on it, I choke on the dust, my eyes watering. I look over at Kael who fell asleep after playing with Asha and Hana.“From all you’ve told me, you said you never experienced the things he’s experiencing. But that’s because your hair wasn’t tampered with.” She opens the book and a roach crawls out.I shriek, jerking my knees to my c

Forty: RevelationCASSIANShe stiffens. “Excuse me?”“Don’t sit there and lie to me…again,” I warn. “You knew they’ve been sleeping together, right?”“I don’t kn—”Her eyes widen when I grab her jaw, and I look into them. “Please, don’t hide it. Don’t lie to me, Eira.”Blue eyes. Almost transparent, like the line between the sky and the waters. Like Eira Quinn’s eyes.“I…” her throat bobs on a swallow as she whispers. “I didn’t know until when I went to the lake.”The truth swirls in her orbs, and I let my hand fall. “You saw them.”It’s not a question so she doesn’t respond. She averts her eyes from me, and I look toward the forest.“I never saw them, but it wasn’t hard to figure out why my beta has scents of my Luna, and why my Luna has scents of my beta.”She lets out a soft sigh. “I can’t imagine how you must have felt.”“That’s the thing, Eira, I don’t even care.” A bitter, hollow laugh leaves my lips. I run a hand down my face. “It’s been five years since Lysandra became my Luna
