Semua Bab Banished Into His Arms: Bab 111 - Bab 120

CHAPTER 111 The Poison Takes HoldNyra smiled as she watched Cassian speak with the guard at the door.He only turned away for a moment and then she lifted the warm cup and the smell of herbs filled the air.“I’ll finish it before you come back,” she teased.Cassian looked over his shoulder.“I’ll hold you to that.”She laughed softly.“You always do.”She raised the cup and drank and the tea tasted a little bitter.She frowned.“Did the healer change the herbs?” she asked.Cassian turned back toward her.“What did you say?”Nyra opened her mouth to answer and before she could speak, a sharp pain twisted through her stomach and her smile disappeared.She grabbed the edge of the bed.“Cassian…”The pain became stronger and her fingers trembled.The cup slipped from her hands, it crashed onto the floor and pieces scattered across the room and Cassian’s heart stopped.“Nyra!”He rushed toward her and she bent forward, holding her stomach.“I… it hurts…”Cassian caught her before she sli

CHAPTER 113 The Border They Never Wanted To CrossThe horses raced through the night and the sound of hooves echoed across the empty road.Cassian held Nyra close against his chest and one arm kept the reins steady and the other never left her.“Stay with me,” he whispered.Nyra rested her head against him, her breathing was weak and she opened her eyes for only a second.“Cassian…”“I’m here.”“I’m not letting you go.”She tried to smile.“I… feel… tired.”His heart tightened.“No.”“You can sleep later.”“You have to keep talking to me.”She gave a tiny nod.“I’m trying.”Behind them, the guards followed without stopping and one rode closer.“My Alpha.”Cassian did not look back.“What is it?”“We are almost at the Shadowfang border.”“Good.”“We’ll be there before sunrise.”Cassian looked ahead and the forest slowly became thicker, large stone markers stood along the road, and each carried the crest of Shadowfang.They had arrived and the lead guard suddenly raised his hand.“My A

CHAPTER 115 The Trial Of The PackThe news spread across Shadowfang before the sun reached the middle of the sky.“The rejected Luna is back.”“She is carrying the Moonfang child.”“She brought disaster with her.”People left their homes and rushed toward the pack square.Within a short time, hundreds gathered and the air was filled with angry voices.Some looked curious, some looked afraid and some looked at the healing hall with hatred.Inside the room, Nyra sat on the bed with a blanket around her shoulders and she heard the shouting outside.Her hands shook and then she looked toward the window.“They’re talking about me.”Cassian stood beside her.“They are.”She lowered her head.“I knew this would happen.”Cassian walked closer.“You don’t have to face them.”“I can’t hide forever.”“You are still weak.”“I know.”She placed one hand over her stomach.“I just want my baby to live.”Cassian knelt in front of her.“Our child will live.”She smiled sadly.“You sound so sure.”“I

CHAPTER 117 The Second AttemptThe whistle of the arrow cut through the air and I froze.Everything happened too fast and before I could move, someone grabbed me.Cassian pulled me behind him and at the same moment, he raised his arm.The arrow slammed into the metal guard around his forearm and a loud clang echoed through the square.The force pushed him back one step and gasps filled the air.“Cassian!” I cried.He did not look at me, his eyes searched the rooftops.“Stay behind me.”The arrow dropped onto the ground, if he had been one second slower…it would have struck me.My legs became weak and I could not stop shaking and Draven reacted immediately.“There!”He pointed toward the roof of a nearby building and a dark figure jumped across the tiles.Draven shifted into his wolf without another word and his huge black wolf landed on the roof with one leap.The crowd screamed and people scattered in every direction.“The Alpha!”“He shifted!”Guards rushed forward and Ronan shoute

CHAPTER 119 The Woman Who WaitsThe days after the attack passed slowly, my body became stronger little by little and the poison no longer burned through me the way it had before.The healers smiled more often and they finally stopped whispering every time they checked my pulse.One morning, the older healer placed his hand over my stomach and he listened for a long moment.Then he smiled.“The child is growing well.”I closed my eyes.“Thank the Moon Goddess.”He chuckled.“You should thank yourself too.”“You’ve fought very hard.”When he left, I rested both hands over my stomach.“My little one,” I whispered.“We’re still here.”A small tear rolled down my cheek, it was not from sadness but from relief.A gentle knock came at the door and before I answered, it opened.King Cassian walked inside carrying a tray, the smell reached me first, fresh bread, warm soup and fruit.I laughed quietly.“Your Majesty.”He smiled.“I told you.”“You don’t have to call me that when we’re alone.”
