Bound To The Night Reaper のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 51 - チャプター 60

Maya's POVSomething about the way that he looked at me didn't seem right.For someone that told me that even he was not exempted from Cassian's wrath if he was found to do anything that would be considered unlawful in the Alpha's eye, he didn't seem to care about that at that moment.Without saying a word or even looking away from me, everyone in the kitchen immediately scampered away. You'd think they had been told the place was about to blow up.And when I say everyone, I mean everyone.For the chefs that had foods already on the fire, they didn't hesitate to turn them off and leave immediately.Mirabelle, who had just caught up to me after I was with Cassian, didn't look back as she also turned to leave.Something deep inside me told me everything that I needed to know.For those people to leave the room, Jasper was about to either say or do something that didn't need witnesses.I had just walked out of a dungeon where a maid was executed in front of my eyes with no mercy by Alph

Maya's POV I gasped and tried covering my mouth with my hands.But that wasn't enough.I didn't think that story was going to take that turn.And it was in that moment that I realized just how convenient that I had decided to ask Jasper instead of Cassian.When I thought that the trauma he faced in the dungeons was too much, I realized that it had been way worse even before he found himself in the dungeons.Jasper, perhaps realizing how shocking that information might have been for me to process, paused for a while.Little did I know that it was about to go from bad to worse.Heck, that shit did a U-turn and escalated real quick when he went ahead and added,“Lyon jumped while his wife watched.Seeing her husband and mate fall through the air and hit the ground, dying instantly, it became too much for her to handle.People didn't even get to react, as they watched in horror as Cassian's mother fell next to her husband.The first person to run to their aid immediately called it.She d

Maya's POVAfter having that conversation with Jasper, everything changed.I couldn't view Cassian the same.I couldn't see the monster that everyone saw.And the crazy part about it, is that I don't think he ever wanted anyone to see him anything other than the Night Reaper.That's exactly what gave him what he was looking for.Vengeance for his parent's death.But that was already done, and things needed to move forward.I wanted to understand what was keeping him going, but didn't want it to be something that I followed up on.There was no way that I was going to look for him to tell me that.Little did I know that all I had to do was think about it, and Cassian was going to find his way to me in no time.When I was on my way back from having breakfast, I heard heavy footsteps coming from behind me.With Mirabelle right in front of me, I figured that there was no reason for anyone to be getting close to me from behind.Not after I was pushed down the stairs less than two weeks earl

Maya's POVElders.I never got along with the elders when I was with Declan.Countless times, I would find them talking about how I was trying to overshadow the Alpha, when I should be the shadow.I never fully understood why they viewed it like that, when Declan was the one that always came running to me whenever he needed help.Was I not supposed to help my husband?Wasn't my duty as his wife to do whatever he asked me to do?If I had a broader perception of things and could come up with solutions quicker, did that mean that I didn't love him more than I said I did?It was always a tussle with them.I could never do anything right, because all they saw was negativity in everything that I did.The fact that I had taken so long to bear him and heir, didn't help my situation at all.They always pushed and pushed, you'd think that I was doing it on purpose.That's why when I finally learnt that I was carrying his child, I saw a glimmer of hope.I was finally going to be the perfect Luna

Maya's POV Trusting Cassian was the worst thing that I could do at that moment. But, answering his question was essential.I was walking a tight rope, and didn't know whether to tell him no or yes.My mind was ready to tell him yes, but my mouth wasn't.Even getting the words out was impossible.I had this fear, that if I told him my truth, he wasn't going to like it.And Cassian being the man that he was, grabbing me by the wrist and tossing me down the cliff didn't seem like something that would linger on his mind longer than five minutes.He patiently waited for my answer, and it's not like I could brush it off.Just when I thought that I could just lie to him and get over with that, my mind reminded me of something very important.‘Cassain can probably tell we are lying by listening to our heartbeat! Don't be stupid!’I knew I was doomed.It was either I told him the truth, or lied to him and risked him knowing that I was lying right to his face.Talk about being between a rock
