All Chapters of He Called Me Barren Luna, But I Bore His Brother’s Heir: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

KiaraIn a jiffy, he had already mind-linked to a guard wolf as two guards marched toward us. They stood beside me.“Maelor, you can’t do this. People are going to talk. You are locking me up,” I said, hoping to reason with him, but all of it fell on deaf ears as he ordered them to take me away.Both guards held the sides of my arms and pulled me away, guiding me toward the pack dungeon.“Go in there and think about what you just did!” he yelled from a distance.I simply couldn’t believe it.I had never laid my hands on Maelor ever. In all the years we had been married, I had not even so much as raised my voice while he spoke to me, but today I did, and his first thought was to lock me up.I didn’t protest as the guards dragged me down to the dungeon where criminals were kept.Everyone who saw me stopped and looked back.Of course, that was what Maelor wanted.He wanted me to be ridiculed and belittled to nothing. He wanted to flex his power.In this pack, there were about two people

CassianIt felt like I was being sucked into her body, and I found myself melting into her arms.My body naturally leaned on hers as I deepened the kiss, my hand reaching for her hair. I took a handful, then pulled her deeper as our lips danced together.Her reluctance to move made the moment perfect. My hands moved down her shoulders, then held her chin closer to my lips as I pulled away to catch my breath.She stared at me with her glassy, perfect eyes.“You are my perfect woman. Do you know that?” The words came out so suddenly, just out of impulse, but it wasn’t far from the truth.She was indeed perfect.I had had my share of lovers over my youth, seeking connection, and in the most odd moments, I found her. I never knew mistakes could be this perfect.She was perfect.My eyes trailed down the edges of her face as I took it all in, what she looked like and how beautiful she was.If she gives birth to my child, I would love it if the child looked like her.Male or female, it would

KiaraI had been on my bed for what? An hour, two? I couldn’t sleep. I couldn’t get what Maelor said out of my mind, and worse, I didn’t see Cassian after our little moment in the cell.Did he go back to Benedita?Could that be where he went all day? I had been avoiding going to see him in his chambers. It would raise suspicion, and if I went to him right after Maelor freed me from the cell, people would be suspicious.I needed to pretend that what Cassian did to Maelor on my behalf was solely out of chivalry, not because he was protecting a lover.I also wanted to tell Cassian that he needed to act more defensively toward the other pack members so it didn’t seem like he was favoring just me. It would raise suspicion.I mean, we danced together in public.People were already talking.He might be a war general and a very smart man, but he wasn’t so discreet about hiding his affection toward me.The image of him kissing Benedita in public came to me again, and my heart swirled with jealo

Kiara“Maelor, when he came down to the cells, he told me he was going to find the father of my baby, and he was going to kill him just to punish me,” I said.I had expected what I said to at least pull his attention to me, but he seemed lost.“Cassian... Cassian.” I tapped on his chest. Was he asleep?He didn’t respond.Now scared that something had happened and I was unaware, I moved over to him, leaning on his body. His eyes were still facing outside. He was completely lost in thought.“Cassian.” I pulled him by the chin, then kissed his lips.“Look at me.”He finally tore his gaze from oblivion, and he stared at me. “Are you okay? Did I hurt you?” He tried moving, but I pushed him down, then kissed him.His tensed body immediately relaxed beneath me.“What’s wrong?” I asked, but he didn’t respond. Instead, he kissed me again, then pulled my body closer to him, close enough that I was practically lying on his chest again.He was partially hard, but hard enough to go another round.

KiaraI knew it would be hard seeing him today, and I was almost certain I was going to see him in this room, and Maelor too, but he was the only one here. Maelor wasn’t.It was odd being in a room with just Cassian. My mind spiraled through so many outcomes...Did Maelor find out and decide that he was going to put us before the elders?I was mostly hoping for anything, anything to soothe the aching in my heart from this morning’s occurrence.After Cassian left my room, I had been looking forward to every bit of excitement, and nothing seemed to be doing it for me. Not the maids wiping it, not Amelia’s little charade outside. Nothing. Then Elder Zek proceeded to tell me about intruders.My heart skipped a beat.The first thing that crossed my mind was Cassian. Last night, when he was in my room, his bruises were still healing, and he was masked, and his wolf was at its peak.Of course, he was in danger.Oh, Goddess! How did I not think of that? I was so lost in the idea of him that I
