All Chapters of He Called Me Barren Luna, But I Bore His Brother’s Heir: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Kiara's POVI tried to sit up the moment I realized it was Cassian sitting beside the bed, but his hand pressed against my shoulder, easing me back down before I could push myself up completely.I could barely see his face. The flashlight before me was blinding."Drink this." He held a cup of water to my lips. "You need it. You fainted." He tried giving me the cup of water again, but I moved my lips aside, refusing to take it from him."I'm fine. I don't need your help." I turned my face away from the cup, even as my throat begged for it. "Where's Amelia? She's supposed to be here.""You don't have to worry about Amelia. She's safe. What you need to do is worry about yourself. She's fine, but you are not. Why don't you think about yourself for once?"He pushed the cup before me, then tucked his hands beneath my head, trying to raise my head, but I slapped his hand away. "Don't tell me what I have to worry about. Where is my niece? And how many hours was I out?""The whole night. It's

CassianI had quite a multitude of logs to go through, if not for anything, but for the fact that I had left them unattended for a while, knowing I had a deadline.What does she tell me, that it meant nothing.Of course.Flipping through the books, I continued pretending to really read any of this. I had lit candles to track the time spent on the document, as it seemed I needed an extra fuel to remind me that I was wasting time sitting here thinking about a lady who obviously would walk through coal than accept affection.The candles had burned low by the time I finally got through half the stack of reports on my desk, border patrol logs mostly, nothing that required much thought.I was halfway through another one when the knock came, and Maelor let himself in without waiting for an answer."Hello, brother."I nodded, humming an acknowledgment, and kept writing and rechecking for corresponding data. He would know I am busy, if he had ever focused to do something in his entire life, bu

KiaraI was still out there when I saw a group of people walking in with decorative objects, new beds, and bed covers. If I remembered correctly, Amaleia was done with her room, and we were not expecting any other visitors.Not that I know of, too.I regarded the strange occurrence for about five minutes before taking the initiative to stand up and walk toward a worker who had a vase suspended on his neck.The moment he saw me, he bowed, then dropped it.“Luna, how may I help you?”Looking at the line of people walking behind him, they had paint buckets, furniture, and someone was bringing in flowers and luggage. Something is definitely happening that I am not aware of, and I intend to correct that.“Who do all these things belong to? Tell me, is the Alpha having another renovation I am not aware of? Oh, is it the mistress?”“No, Luna. They belong to Lady Benedita. The Alpha demanded we set up a room for her, so that’s what we are doing. If you don’t mind, Luna, we have to make haste,

Cassian’s POVFor someone who was against Amelia training, I did not expect her to be watching on the court for hours with the kind of dedication she had.To top it off, she was already there when I arrived. And I bet the only reason we had more of an audience watching was because the Luna was watching too. Her ladies-in-waiting, some of the guards, and others came out.“Hello, Lord Cassian.” Amelia approached me with a bow.“You’re early,” I said.“You said one or three.”“I said be there by one. I didn’t say be there at noon.”She flushed but held her ground. “I didn’t want to be late.”“You’re not.” I tossed her a wooden practice blade. “Show me how you stand.”My eyes were still on Amelia. She had been avoiding my gaze since I came in here. Maybe I should walk up to her and say hi.We haven’t spoken since our last encounter. Truth be told, I haven’t been myself either.“Is this alright?” Amelia pulled my attention. I turned my face toward the brilliant girl. She had her hands held

Kiara's POVThanks to the goddess, the day ran quicker, and it was finally time for dinner. I took my time getting ready. I might have missed breakfast, but I didn't have enough excuses left to miss dinner, and I was certain he would feel very superior if I missed dinner too because of him.If Cassian wanted to play games in front of the entire pack, then I would walk into that dining hall looking so composed that he would regret ever starting. I chose a deep blue gown, fitted at the waist, and also flattering the bump that was already showing. Then I pinned my hair up with the gold petals again. A touch of red on my lips. A little color on my eyes.I was fastening the last pin when the door opened behind me.I didn't need to turn around to know who it was. Nobody else in this house entered my room without knocking."You look beautiful," Maelor said.Without turning, I could see him approaching with a smirk from behind."Truly." He crossed the room and stopped behind me, studying my r
