Banished Into His Arm のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 21 - チャプター 30

CHAPTER 21Somebody Changed The EvidenceDraven’s POV“Then who did?”The question stayed inside my head the entire night.I could not escape it and every answer led back to the same terrifying possibility. Nyra may have been innocent.The thought made me sick and then I walked through the dark halls of the pack house slowly, but my mind would not stop racing.Nyra crying behind chains, Nyra begging me to listen, Nyra shaking while I turned my back on her.My chest tightened painfully. Moon.What if I destroyed her for nothing? My wolf growled violently inside me.“Find the truth.”By sunrise, I made my decision. I was reopening the investigation. Secretly. No elders, no council and especially no Calista.Only one person could help me now.Ronan.I found him near the training grounds shouting orders at warriors.The moment he saw my face, his expression changed immediately.“You look terrible.”“I need you.”That got his attention fast.Within minutes, we locked ourselves inside my st

CHAPTER 23The Way He Touches HerNyra’s POV“They’re discussing removing her permanently.”The guard’s words crashed through the room like a blade and my body went still instantly.For one second, nobody spoke and then something dangerous changed in Cassian’s face, his silver eyes darkened slowly, deadly slowly.“Leave,” he told the guard quietly.The man bowed immediately and rushed out fast and the moment the door shut, silence filled the chamber again, heavy silence.The kind that made breathing difficult. I stared at the floor because suddenly I could not look at Cassian anymore.Of course the council wanted me gone.Why wouldn’t they?Everywhere I went, disaster followed. First Shadowfang. Now this kingdom.I laughed weakly under my breath.“You should let me leave.”Cassian’s head snapped toward me immediately.“No.”His answer came too fast and top sharp and emotion rose painfully inside me.“You heard them.”“I do not care.”“But I care!”My voice cracked louder than I wanted

CHAPTER 25I Hate That I Need YouNyra’s POV“She will destroy you just like she destroyed her first mate!”The scream echoed through the council chamber and my entire body froze outside the doors and then silence fell.It was heavy and painful and I could barely breathe.Inside the chamber, nobody spoke for one long second and then voices exploded everywhere.“She admitted it!”“The girl brings disaster everywhere!”“She should never have entered this kingdom!”My chest tightened harder with every word and I stepped backward slowly from the door before anyone saw me standing there.Humiliation burned through my body again, rejected, dangerous, cursed.The words followed me everywhere now and I turned quickly and walked away from the chamber before the tears in my eyes betrayed me.The palace hallways blurred around me as I walked faster and servants lowered their heads the moment they noticed me.Some whispered after I passed and others moved away completely, like I carried sickness.

CHAPTER 27The Bond Refused To DieDraven’s POV“Why was Nyra’s bracelet hidden there?”The question stayed trapped inside my head long after Ronan left my study and I stared at the silver bracelet lying on the table like it might suddenly explain everything itself.Nyra wore this bracelet every day, I remembered because she kept touching it whenever she felt nervous.I even remembered teasing her once.“You play with that thing too much.”Nyra had laughed quietly.“It helps me calm down.”The memory hit harder now.Because I remembered the way she smiled at me after saying it.Like I mattered, like I was someone safe.My chest burned violently and I picked up the bracelet slowly and turned it in my fingers.There was dried blood near the clasp. Nyra’s blood and my wolf became restless instantly.“Find her.”I closed my fist tightly around the bracelet. No.First, I needed the truth, I needed proof before I completely lost my mind.The study doors suddenly opened and Calista walked in

CHAPTER 29Somebody Else Is Near HerDraven’s POV“And this time…”I could barely breathe.“…he heard a male voice near Nyra.”The bond snapped violently inside my chest again and I staggered back hard enough to hit the table behind me and Ronan moved instantly.“Draven.”I ignored him completely because I heard it again.A man’s voice, it was low, dangerous and close to her.My wolf exploded inside me immediately.“Mine.”Pain tore through my chest so sharply that my breathing turned rough and uneven.The connection vanished again seconds later but the damage was already done.Rage burned through me so badly that I nearly shifted right there inside my study.Ronan grabbed my arm hard.“What happened?”I looked up slowly.“She’s not alone.”His face darkened instantly.“The bond?”I nodded once. Impossible.Rejected bonds were not supposed to behave this way.I rejected Nyra myself and I broke the connection.So why could I still feel pieces of her emotions?Fear. Pain. Panic. And now
