All Chapters of Moon Reaper’s Substitute Bride: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

~CASSIAN~“PLEASEE!”Aurora cried out. “Cassian. I need you. I need you more than I’ve ever needed anyone else.”I swallowed hard, “what if you wake up tomorrow and regret it?”She shook her head. “I’m the one begging you.”I closed my eyes. What are you doing? If you take her like this, if you bury your seed inside her, there is no turning back. There is nothing you can do to take it back. But shouldn’t that be a good thing? Why would I want to take back such a thing? I wanted Aurora. I didn’t want anyone else. I’ve never felt this way for any other woman. There was a point where I thought I would never find a companion, that I would remain single my entire life. She was the only person that I’ve ever desired to be with.That was it. I snapped.I surged forward, burying myself in one powerful thrust. Her tight pussy enveloped me completely, squeezing tightly. We both moaned. Animalistic sounds tore from my throat as she continued to pull me in. I’d never felt anything this intens

~AURORA~I lay there in the tangled sheets, every muscle deliciously sore in a way that made my body hum with lingering satisfaction. The heat had finally ebbed, leaving me spent but deeply contented. Cassian's seed still leaked slowly between my thighs, a warm, soothing reminder of how thoroughly he had claimed me through the long night. I didn't think it possible to be pleasured so many times in one night. But he made it possible and somehow helped me through all the pain. My skin tingled where his bites and fingerprints marked me, and I traced them absently with trembling fingers, a small, secret smile tugging at my lips despite everything.He slept beside me now, completely drained. His powerful body was sprawled across the bed, chest rising and falling in deep, exhausted breaths. Dark circles shadowed his eyes, his hair tousled from my desperate grips, faint scratches from my nails visible on his shoulders and back. He looked utterly wrecked—my fierce moon reaper reduced t

~CASSIAN~The courtyard had barely cleared before the watchers descended on me like vultures smelling fresh blood. Two of them cornered me near the entrance, their faces filled with official disapproval while the third scribbled notes on a scroll. Again with those fucking notes. They reported every single detail back to the council. Leaving nothing out. Seraphina stayed nearby, pretending to be concerned but clearly trying to hear the conversation. She wanted to know what was happening with Aurora, no doubt. My body still felt heated from the night with my wife. Her scent still clinging to my skin, the memory of her tight pussy and desperate cries making my cock twitch even now. This wasn’t the right fucking time for that. But I couldn’t get it out of my damn mind.I forced my expression into cold indifference. One slip and they'd know exactly why Vincent had come shouting for her."What was the real reason for that. . .disturbance?" the lead watcher demanded, eyes narrowing. "Vin

~SERAPHINA~I smoothed my gown one final time before summoning the maids. Three of them entered my chambers quietly, eyes wide with curiosity and a hint of greed. Perfect. Servants were always the easiest to bend—loyalty bought with gold and promises of favor. I gestured for them to approach the small table where I had laid out a heavy pouch of coins. The metallic clink as I opened it filled the room, their gazes locking onto the gleaming gold like hungry, wild beasts. This was exactly the trick I always used to get my way. Especially when it concerned Aurora."You have all served Cassian well," I began, my voice soft. "But true loyalty deserves reward. I will keep paying you generously if you do exactly as I say." I poured a generous handful of coins into each of their palms, watching their eyes light up with desire. "In front of Aurora, you will treat me with the utmost kindness and respect. Compliment me. Speak of my grace, my beauty, my rightful place beside your Lord. Tell

~CASSIAN~Dinner was pure torture.I sat at the head of the table trying to eat even though I had lost my appetite. I was supposed to be happy in front of the watchers, but every fiber of my being rebelled against the scene unfolding before me. Seraphina sat on my lap against my wishes like she belonged there, her weight a constant, unwelcome pressure. She leaned back against my chest, as though it was the most natural thing in the world. I didn't ask her to do this. In fact, before Aurora entered the room, I'd quietly asked her to get down. But, she never listened. And while I wanted to push her off my lap, the damn watchers would not give me that chance.They continued to observe from their seats, their eyes sharp and approving. One wrong move and they'd push the divorce through faster than I could blink. They had made that threat clear earlier, act the part or lose Aurora completely.I desperately wanted to shove Seraphina off, to send her sprawling across the floor and storm ov
