All Chapters of Banished Into His Arm: Chapter 1 - Chapter 5

Chapter 1Nyra’s POVWhen the guard knocked on my door close to midnight, my heart skipped a beat.“His Alpha wants to see you,” he said and I sat up at once.At this hour? My chest tightened, maybe it was about Calista.She returned this evening after three years of being gone, and ever since then, the whole pack has been in chaos.Maybe Draven wanted to explain, maybe he wanted to tell me why he looked so shaken when he saw her.Maybe after three years of being his fiancee, I at least deserve honesty.That little hope was foolish, but I still held it as I threw a shawl over my nightdress and followed the guard through the sleeping pack house.The walk to Draven’s private study felt too long and too silent.My palms were damp by the time we stopped outside his door and the guard pushed it open for me.I then stepped inside and Draven was already there, he stood behind his desk, one hand braced against the wood, and his dark eyes were fixed on me.There was no greeting, no softness an

Chapter 3Nyra’s POVThe chains bit into my wrists as the guards dragged me forward and the sound of metal scraped against metal followed every step I took.It was loud, it was too loud, like the whole pack needed to hear exactly what I have become, a prisoner, a disgrace and a warning.The sacred ceremony ground was already full when they led me in and the moment people saw me, the whispers began.“She’s in chains…”“Moon Goddess…”“She really did it.”“No wonder the Alpha threw her away.”I kept my eyes on the ground, if I looked at their faces, I may shatter.The moon hung high above us, it was bright and merciless and its silver light fell over everything.Over the altar, over the sacred stones and over the women dressed in ceremonial white and then over me and I have never felt more ashamed in my life.I was dirty from the dungeon and my hair was a mess.My dress still carried stains from the filthy water Selka threw on me and I smelt like prison, like pain and like humiliation a

Chapter 5Draven’s POVI should feel relieved, that was what I kept telling myself as I stood alone in my study.Nyra was gone, the problem was gone, the scandal was gone, the weakness was gone.So why did it feel like I couldn’t breathe?I then gripped the edge of my desk and stared at the same door she walked through last night.The same door where she stood with tears in her eyes and asked me if I really believed she would poison Calista.My jaw tightened and I pushed the thought away, it changed nothing.She was found with the poison, she was seen near Calista’s chamber, the evidence was there, everything pointed to her.So why did my wolf keep pacing inside me like something was wrong?I then dragged a hand through my hair and walked toward the window.Outside, the pack grounds slept under moonlight, peaceful and still, everything should be calm now but my chest felt tight and my mind kept replaying her face at the ceremony.The shock, the pains and the way she looked at me when
