All Chapters of He Called Me Barren Luna, But I Bore His Brother’s Heir: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

CHAPTER ONEKiara’S POVI carefully placed the last plate on the dining table and stepped back to look at everything I had prepared, making sure that nothing was out of place because tonight was not an ordinary night to me.Today was our fifth wedding anniversary.Five years had passed since I became Maelor’s wife, five years since the Moon Goddess had given me the man I once believed would love me more than anyone else, and five years since I had been trying to convince myself that his coldness was only temporary.I looked at the table and smiled faintly.The candles were burning quietly, the food was still warm, and everything Maelor liked was there. I had prepared his favorite dishes, bought his favorite wine, and even placed a small gift beside his plate.For tonight, I wanted to forget the past five years.I wanted to believe that our marriage could still be saved, my hand moved to the small pouch hidden inside my dress.The fertility seed was inside.I had gone miles away from

CHAPTER THREEKiara’S POVTwo months had passed since the night that changed everything.Two months since I had opened my eyes in an unfamiliar room and believed, for a few foolish minutes, that Maelor had finally returned to me.Two months since I discovered that the man who had carried me into that room had never been my husband.Two months since Cassian, the man everyone had believed was dead, returned to the pack.And for two months, I had done everything I could to avoid him.Whenever I heard that Cassian was in the main house, I found an excuse to remain in my room. Whenever I saw him from a distance, I changed direction before he could notice me, and whenever his voice reached me from somewhere nearby, my heart would begin beating so hard that I would have to remind myself to breathe.I didn't know what frightened me more, the fact that I had spent that night with Maelor's stepbrother or the fact that I could still remember every detail of it.I remembered his voice, I remember

Kiara’s POVI could hear the music outside. Maelor was serious about the celebration, and I couldn’t wrap my mind around it, why he would react the way he did, knowing we haven’t even slept together in a year.It was like he and Cassian wanted to set me up.Like it was a ploy by both of them to ruin me, but I couldn’t pinpoint why. First of all, if I didn’t know better, I would say Cassian had a hand in this celebration, but no.Maelor was the person hosting it, and everyone with eyes knew Cassian and Maelor were like water and oil.They don’t mix.But why was Maelor doing this? Why did he suddenly accept that he came to my room that night, even though he knew he didn’t enter? He had detested me.He wouldn’t even look me in the eye, and he had verbally said that he wouldn’t touch me, and all of a sudden I was pregnant and he congratulates me?What kind of game is this?What kind of plot am I being forced to participate in?Pushing the thought down my mind when I heard a knock by the d

Kiara’s POVI had finally dressed up and prepared to meet Maelor up front. The drums had started beating, and people were dancing all around. Most of the pack dancers were brought out.Maelor was really making a big deal out of it for a man who just knew that the wife he never slept with was pregnant.Honestly…It gave me cold feet how freely he could pretend as the elders started approaching us and shaking him. Some ruffled his hair while some bowed. I, on the other hand, was on the decorated seat designated for me.Gifts were being dropped before my feet by caring pack members who were excited that their Alpha was about to give them an heir. I, on the other hand, hadn’t gotten over the feeling Cassian’s presence left.I couldn’t find him in the celebration as he had earlier claimed. Even though I had constantly gaslit myself that I wasn’t looking for him, my eyes kept searching the surroundings for him.Anyone that looked like him, or even the slightest appearance, made me look into

KiaraMaelor and Elysia had always had their way, and I have been the third wheel in their lives for quite some time now, which was normal, but looking at Cassian, I knew for sure he wasn’t pleased with it.It was going to give him more reason to blabber.“It’s fine,” I said subconsciously, trying to pacify him, but he stood up.“It shouldn’t,” he whispered, then stood up. He stretched his hands toward me. I didn’t know what to do with his outstretched hand.“Would you mind dancing with me?” he asked.I looked at Maelor. He was talking with Elysia, and they were talking to a random pack member together. Cassian’s brows furrowed tightly again.“It’s your day, and you are sitting here, and letting them rub it in your face? Why?” he asked. I didn’t have an answer.What if people saw us dancing together? What would they say? They would say the Luna is dancing with the lost Alpha, and then a rumor would start.Cassian might be plotting too.He doesn’t have the right to come up here and act
