All Chapters of Moonblood: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Sixty-Two: New RoleEIRAMy jaw drops.Oliver blinks. “What?”“Did I stutter?”“No, of course not, your majesty. It’s just that the journey to Scarlett pack is miles away.”Cassian’s neck tilts slightly. “Is that an excuse?”“No!” Oliver blurts. “We have a training in few minutes. If I go to Scarlett pack, I’d be back by evening.”“The earlier you leave, the better. Right?”“Yes, Your Majesty. I’ll leave now.” Oliver bows, then furrows his brows at me before walking away.I bite my tongue hard enough to bleed to avoid saying any other thing that will make this interaction more suspicious.“Olga.” Cassian steps away, and I glare at the back of his head. “Is breakfast ready?”“Almost.”“Good. And what are you doing in here, Eira?” He spins on me, lips curled into a frown. He blinks when he sees my glare, lifting a perfect brow.My teeth grind together. “I’m helping in the kitchen.”“Why?”“What do you mean why, Your Majesty? I’m an omega, I have to make myself useful somehow.”His eyes

Sixty Four: New ChoresEIRA[A Week Later]“Yes.”That was my response to Oliver’s request. Why did I say ‘yes’? I don’t know.Maybe because I’m tired?Maybe because Oliver is really sweet and frankly, I deserve better. Kael and I do. Cassian slept with Lysandra. After everything he promised, after he begged me to wait.Thank goddess I didn’t agree to that. It’d hurt a lot worse than it’s hurting now.It’s been a week and I’ve been stuck cleaning the royal wing. I haven’t seen Cassian for two days now. Rumour has it that he travelled.I sigh, dusting the last shelf and heading out of the room. The door clicks shut.“Eira.”I yelp, heart in my throat as I hold a hand over my chest, glaring at Jafeth. “You can’t just sneak up on—”“The Queen has asked for you,” he cuts me off, slowly raking his eyes down my body in distaste.My lips pull into a frown. “Do you know why?”“You think I’d tell you if I did?”Right. He won’t. He’s as snobbish Lysandra, rude and infuriating. Huffing, I take a

Sixty-Six: Cells And EyesEIRAEverything grows cold.“C-cell?” I gawk, eyes wide.She grins. “Oh so now cat’s got your tongue. Take her Jafeth.”As Jafeth moves to grab me, Oliver steps in. “Luna, she was only speaking the truth. All morning Eira has worked, done everything you’ve asked—”“Remember that second chance I gave you? It’s been used up.” She turns to Jafeth and nods. “Both of them.”Jafeth takes both of us by the arm and Lysandra speaks again. “Don’t try to fight it. There’s worse punishments than being locked up. Except you want to find out.”My lips press into a thin line, and when Oliver opens his mouth to speak again, I shake my head at him.There's no point. Nothing we say will change her mind. It’ll only make things worse and I’m rot ready to find out what other worse punishments she can dish out.And so when Jafeth tugs us, we move. Lysandra trails behind us, and I can’t begin to explain the emotions that swirl up in me.Shock, embarrassment, anger, but most of all

Sixty-Eight: The King Is BackCASSIANI know something is off the moment I step into the palace, but I can’t place it.Everyone’s looking at me, some making eye contacts with themselves and whispers that I can’t quite catch.My lips pull into a frown and I turn to Reece and Henrik. “Is it just me or is something going on?”They shrug.“I don’t see anything out of the ordinary,” Henrik replies.“Yea,” Reece nods. “They’re probably just gossiping, as usual.”“About me?”“Of course not, Your Majesty,” Reece snorts. “Well, I mean, I don’t know.”I take another look around and when my eyes meet one of the watching Omegas, she immediately dips her head and shuffles away.They’re usually much more bold in their gossip, so it can’t be that. Oh well, whatever it is, I’ll find out sooner or later.“Alright, let’s go for a run, Reece,” I say. “Henrik, keep me posted. We’ll be back soon.”Reece and I head to the clearing, shedding our clothes in the process as we shift into our wolves. The shift

TO THE EAST WINGEIRA'S POVThe three Omegas, Abby, Beth, and Claire, stand frozen at the doorway, their eyes wide as they glance between Cassian and Lysandra.No one moves.The tension in the hallway is thick enough to choke on, and I can feel every eye in the palace secretly watching from wherever they are hiding. The whispers will spread like wildfire by nightfall."I said get in there and move her things," Cassian repeats, his voice dropping to that dangerous calm that makes even the bravest wolves shrink back. "Now."Lysandra steps forward, blocking the doorway with her body. "You can't do this, Cassian. I am your Queen. his is my room just as much as it is yours.""Was," Cassian corrects, his jaw so tight I can see the muscle ticking. "It was your room. Not anymore.""The elders won't stand for this," Lysandra hisses, her composure cracking. "You can't just throw me out like some common…""Like some common what?" Cassian cuts in, taking a step closer. "Say it, Lysandra. Go
