All Chapters of He Called Me Barren Luna, But I Bore His Brother’s Heir: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

KiaraWe stayed like that for what seemed like forever, but in reality, it was about twenty minutes. Twenty minutes of silence and wild thoughts. My body wanted him.I wanted to feel his body under this cloth, but we hadn’t fully discussed what happened last night, and now was the perfect time to talk about it.Maelor was busy with Elyra, and Benedita was somewhere in the pack, asking herself why Cassian suddenly didn’t need her as much as he did before.While I was here.Turning to see Cassian staring at the ceiling, just like last night when he was lost in thought and didn’t hear anything I said, I didn’t bother speaking first.I leaned into him, then kissed his eyes.His attention finally came down to me.“Hi...” I began.He moaned a little before turning to me.“Let’s talk. Are you up for it now? I don’t want to leave without clearing my mind,” I began.He nodded.“I am sorry I told you—”“Shh. It’s fine.” He pressed his fingers against my lips. “You have your reasons, and you hav

KiaraThe entire pack had what to talk about for like a decade.First, the Luna got attacked by a horde, and nobody knew who they were because their scent was masked.I, on the other hand, had a myriad of in-between events giving that scenario. Now, the Luna attacked the Alpha's concubine, the same day the said concubine lamented about being cheated on.Like sleeping with my husband was cheating.I wouldn’t sleep with Maelor. The idea alone disgusted me. Being bedded by a man that doesn’t desire me as much as I desired him, or after everything Maelor had done to me, I would still let him inside me?No.Disgusting.But no one knew that. As everyone watched me, they turned to their partners and discussed how odd it was that I looked calm and went on with my day like Elyra wasn’t in the hospital crying her eyes out.She would never get her hands back, that’s for sure. I heard her bones crack and pull out. It would take a miracle if she came out of the surgery alive, but who cares?What ar

KiaraSilver River…Why all of a sudden?Was he planning something? His kindness to me was nothing short of a threat to me right now, and I did not know my way around it.Maelor hated anything that happened in Silver River. I remembered asking him if he courted me back home just to trade an alliance with the Alpha, and he didn’t say anything.He told me to stop asking silly questions.It was only when I came to this pack that I realized how much of a pretender he was. Back in Silver River, everyone talked about Maelor’s courtship.His poems, his gifts.When he officially brought me to this pack after our marriage, he went cold, and I saw Elyra. She was with him, her arms wrapped around his body, kissing him.It was as if we had never even gotten married.I remembered the heartbreak I felt, the ache in my heart, and how confused I was. I would ask Maelor to talk to me, if I had said anything on my way to the pack.I would occasionally walk in on them having sex. He wouldn’t stop even i

KiaraI couldn’t stand him.Every part of me felt this itch that needed to be scratched. I wanted to take a shower in running water, maybe stand under a fountain, for all I cared.Honestly.That man touched me. He held my waist. What if he had kissed me? Eww.As I hugged myself, I walked down the corridor. As usual, people were talking, mumbling about Elyra and also the King’s recent affections towards me. It was getting to me as it was.I wanted somewhere to be,somewhere that didn’t smell like him, and I wanted to be anywhere but here at this moment, and only one person came to mind.It wasn’t Cassian. It was Amelia.After Maelor assigned her to be among the training troops, she barely came to see me. She was either training or at the border, surveying the border. And with the recent intrusion event, junior students were put to work.She was either going to be at the borders or training in the court, so I went to the court first, knowing she wouldn’t be in her room.Just as predicte

KiaraI had no idea what she meant by Cassian and I being too close, but there was something about how she phrased it that did it for me. No one in the pack knew about Cassian and me, and even the person who knew about my infidelity in my marriage was only Maelor. Even he thought I was sleeping with someone else in the pack. He hadn't suspected his brother.Matter of fact, if he had, then he hadn't told me, but I still had no idea what Benedita knew. Did she know I was in the room when she came into the room?She couldn't.Cassian's room was scent-proof, and he had guarded it with charms. No one could sense him inside, even if they tried. And that's just the truth, but how did she know I was close to him?"I heard he had a fight with the Alpha to release you, and before you deny it, the Alpha told me himself. Between the both of us, we know Cassian is a pioneer of good deeds, and you are the most notable do-gooder in the pack, so..."My tense muscles relaxed as she went into details.
