Cassiopeia Nyx

My world was spinning and i was desperately trying to stay afloat, my hands were clawing at the surface but the currents of the water was too strong. Hera had taken control, but even she couldn't fight off whatever had just happened. I couldn't remember how long I'd been unconscious or where I was, but the cold, damp earth beneath me felt foreign. Distant. Nothing like the woods near the Alpha king's pack lands.

One moment I was in the most torturous agony, it was worse than any pain I had ever felt in my life and then the next, I was flying through the air in the arms of a foreign presence.

I was so tired. Of everything. Of Life.

Slowly, my senses started to return back to their respective positions and immediately the stench of rotting flesh and damp dirty soil hit me wave after wave. I had push back the viscious liquid threatening to spill from guts.

I tried to move, but my body wouldn't cooperate. Hera had receded, her presence barely a whisper in the back of my m

    Cassiopeia Nyx."Shhhh, Love" He whispered, patting my hair lovingly. "You're okay now, we're okay now".He placed his head in between the crook of my neck, inhaling deeply as he clutched me tightly, his knees planted firmly into the ground while i was almost hovering in the air,my body pressed tightly against his.Normally, I would be so disgusted with physical touch after what happened but it was all I seemed to want right now, I wanted him to never let go. I wanted him to hold me in his arms forever and keep me there, basking in the warmth and comfort his touch brought.Ever since Hera’s appearance, my senses had almost tripled, I could feel every inch of his skin on mine, I could hear the way his heartbeat picked up, pounding against his chest forcefully. I didn't know which one of us was In control right now, as I could feel her presence balance with mine. But I knew i wanted this."I'm sorry" he whispered, pressing a small kiss to my temple. "After seeing Nox, I know you think I'

    Xeros Romanov.My fist tightened in my lap as my eyes followed her every movement. It was like I was in a daze as she stood between my legs, her scent overpowering my senses as she tried to fix up my face. I wanted to tell her that it would heal in a few hours, but I couldn't bring myself to. Instead, I relished the feeling of her soft fingers caressing my face, the closeness between us. Nox howled in joy at the back of my mind, purring in love with the feeling Cassie evoked in us.I had to physically restrain myself from touching her slender figure as she worked, her breathing shallow and her fingers trembling—she couldn't dare meet my gaze. But still, I couldn't help but stare at her, even though I knew it was unnerving.She was still scared of me, but it wasn't as alarming as before—she used to look at me like I was the scum of the earth, her worst nightmare brought to life. Now, the look in her eyes was hesitant, almost as if she was contemplating whether to hate me or accept my l

    Cassiopeia Nyx I sat at the edge of the bed, fingers fiddling nervously with the fabric of the blanket draped over my knees. My wolf, Hera, had been quieter today, though that didn’t mean she hadn’t made herself known. Her occasional whispers, snide remarks, and even the odd growl had become a normal part of my life—something I had no choice but to accept. It was so strange to me; everything was new, and I felt like a newborn, trying to understand the workings of my life. I had finally begun to live without the constant ache in my body, the never-ending pain. It had been 18 days since I was last tortured or felt any pain. But it wasn't the physical pain that confused me; it was the constant ache in my heart when Xeros wasn’t near me, the invisible line that kept pulling me toward him, and how I found myself slipping up, almost daring to do things I would never even think about doing. “Just stop being so scared, human,” Hera snorted in the back of my mind. “He’s our mate. What’s t

    Cassiopeia Nyx "Hey... Hey," he whimpered, reaching out to touch me, but I flinched automatically. He retracted his hand immediately, letting it rest awkwardly on the edge of the table before speaking. "I won't let him hurt you, Angel." I listened to him. I knew my father was afraid of him; I also knew my father looked up to him. But still, I just couldn’t help it—the fear that rushed through my body and the tears that gathered in my eyes. My body felt hyper-aware, skin prickling as if my father were standing right behind me at this very moment, ready to pounce and rip me apart. I couldn’t reply, and my hands found their way back to my lap, the food before me suddenly losing its taste and appeal. From the corner of my eyes, I could see his hands twitch as if trying to comfort me, but he didn’t know how. I avoided his gaze. It made me feel weak, made me want to believe him—that he would protect me from my father. “He has protected you so far, hasn’t he?” Hera whispered in my ear,

    Xeros Romanov. The echo of my mate's wails pierced through my thoughts, more painful than any scar or wound i had ever gotten, shattering my control without any resistance. Every tear and sob, every word she uttered was like another hit, striking me with an agony so intense i could feel it in my very soul. Nox was out of control, there was a difference between me losing control and Nox losing control. Being the last of my kind, there was a responsibility that came with having Supreme power—protection, I had to protect my kind, but how was I to protect them from myself. The last time Nox lost control, hundreds died, and numerous packs were annihilated. His decisions made me who I am today, the monster hated by all and truly I was, because I didn't fight for control then, I gladly let Nox take it. We both desired to kill them all. The only thing grounding us was Cassie. She shivered next to me, her delicate frame pushed against mine, as I held her tighter in an attempt to provide

    Cassiopeia Nyx A strangled cough escaped my lips as I turned to the side slowly, the sheets shifting beneath me. My eyelids felt sore and heavy as I pried them open. A lonely and empty room stared back at me, the sheets beside me smooth and pristine as if no one had ever laid on them. I could vividly remember seeing Xeros from the corner of my eye most nights when I tossed and turned in my sleep. He would be perched awkwardly on the edge of the bed, almost as if he was dangling over the side. But now, where was he? My heart lurched as the thought passed through my head. Ever since he took me away from the Nightwolf pack, he had always been close—a dull, comforting presence. Even if he wasn't in the room, I knew he was always nearby. But today, even without checking, I could sense he wasn’t outside my door. Hera, my wolf, couldn’t feel him. I had laid myself bare before him, told him everything—the tortures, the pain, the horrors. My skin still tingled with the vulnerability of

    Cassiopeia Nyx My mouth went dry, and I swallowed hard, trying to find my voice. The man in front of me was a stranger; I had never seen him before. "I'm Anakin," he announced. "I'm the Beta." I nodded softly. Why was the Beta in the Alpha's office if the Alpha was all right? Where was he? My fear was growing so rapidly that I couldn’t control it anymore. I really needed to see him, to know if he was all right at least. "Xeros," I whispered, my voice barely audible. Anakin's eyes lit up at the sound of his Alpha’s name, and he offered a smile that was almost reassuring. "You're looking for your mate?" he asked, stepping around the desk toward me. I nodded immediately, without fully processing his words, still unsure if I was making the right decision. What if he felt like I was a nuisance and I was disturbing him? My hands trembled at my sides, and I could feel the weight of Hera’s silence in my mind. She was worried, just like I was, but there was a quiet reassurance in the w

    Cassiopeia Nyx "You should leave, Cassie." His fingers retracted from my face suddenly, like as if he had been bitten. He avoided my gaze as he backed away, leaving my fingers hanging limply by the metal bars. I tried to look at him, to see or even have a slight idea of what he was feeling, but he avoided my gaze. "You defied my orders, Anakin," He growled, turning towards the Beta whose presence I had totally forgotten about. "Forgive me, Your majesty. But we were running out of options, and we weren’t sure the silver could hold him away for much longer." He sighed, head bowed as he spoke.Xeros doesn't reply, instead he turned back to me. Despite his eyes being warm, they were distant as if they were lost somewhere that I couldn't reach. I thought i was the only one fighting demons, but I didn’t seem to realise that just as much as I was suffering, he had his own fair share of pains."Please, turn away. Angel, " He whispered, his body trembling as he spoke the words. "I really ha

    Cassiopeia Nyx"You can’t handle it."My heart constricted painfully in my chest as I leaned against the wooden door of his office. I wanted to run back into the room and implore him to tell me he didn't mean what he said, but the way he enunciated it, without hesitation… it made me believe that he really meant it.I had assumed that he didn't care that I wasn't strong enough, that his love for me had absolved me from all guilt, but now I see that wasn’t the case. It took a lot for him to slip up and show his true feelings.I thought I knew pain. I thought I had endured everything that could be thrown at me. But this? This felt different.It wasn’t physical, like the scars that marred my skin. It wasn’t something I could fight with persistence or defiance. It was deeper, more personal—a wound to the very core of who I was.I could handle him.But he didn’t believe that.Fuck. Even I didn't believe it.

    Xeros RomanovThe moment she nestled into my arms, everything unraveled. The heat of her body, the soft tremble of her fingers as they wrapped around my torso, the scent of her filling my senses—it all became too much. Cassiopeia. My mate.My queen.Immediately, I recognized Nox's desire. I tried to run away, to put some distance between us, but it was futile. She was a force I couldn’t resist, pulling me in, tearing apart every shred of resolve I had left. And now, she was here, standing in front of me, despite me telling her to stay away... looking up with those eyes—filled with longing, trust, and something else… something dangerous.Desire.I could feel the heat radiating off her, searing my skin as if it were my own. My wolf, the primal force within me, roared in approval, clawing at the edges of my mind, desperate to claim what was ours. To mark her, to bind her to me in every way.But I couldn’t.The images flashed through my mind, unbidden and relentless—the scars that marred h

    Cassiopeia NyxSomething was wrong.Not with Xeros—but with me.An unusual burning sensation spread through my entire body, starting from my lower abdomen. It was beyond what words could describe. It spread like a raging prairie fire, doubling in intensity with every wave of the wind and every second I remained still, threatening to swallow me whole. I could barely think straight as I watched the elders file out of the meeting hall, still whispering amongst themselves about Xeros's sudden and urgent disappearance.At the thought of him, my body began to ache even more. Hera growled ferociously from her position at the back of my mind. It was more feral than anything she had ever expressed to me, even when she tried to take over my body. The more she growled and pushed at me, the more the pain increased.My knees shook as I pushed myself up from the seat, beads of perspiration trickling down my chest and stomach.Where was Xeros?A groan tumbled from my lips as I forced myself to my fe

    Cassiopeia Nyx"Who could be so daring to attempt an attack on the king's private quarters" Elder Yousef asked, his dark face marred with worry lines, Whispers floated all through the large space of the meeting room. They looked apprehensive, this was the first time someone had brazenly attempted an attack on the king's private quarters.Xeros and i remained quiet as we watched them mull over the information we just shared, there was nothing more to say, Xeros was unconcerned but i seemed to drift towards the worried questions the elders seemed to throw at one another.Who could it be? What made them so fearless? Could it be an uprising?The more they spoke the more my anxiety levels spiked. Xeros's grip around my wrist was firm and comforting but he was distracted, his calloused thumb circled around the soft skin of my wrist. I didn't know what exactly had consumed his thoughts. His eyes were focused on me but they were dazed."Xeros" i whispered, shifting in my seat beside him. He b

    Xeros RomanovI slipped through the door with pristine agility only to be met with Cassie’s terrified gaze. She stood right before me, her eyes widened in shock before morphing into relief. Her grip around the candle stick was fierce, as if she’d been ready to fight off whatever threat she imagined might follow me in here.A sigh left me as I took in her stance, her anxiety, and the hint of fear in her gaze. My eyes swept over her form, checking for any sign of injury even though I knew without doubt she’d been safe here. Finally, my gaze settled on the candle stick, and despite the situation, a flicker of amusement surfaced.“You were going to come after me?” I asked, my voice soft but edged with amusement.Cassie nodded, her expression shifting as she let out a breath she’d been holding. “I… you were taking so long, so I thought… something had happened to you.”Without hesitation, I crossed the room in a few quick strides, reaching out to gently ease the candle stick from her hands.

    Cassiopeia Nyx The room was quiet. The kind of quiet that made even the slightest sound amplified. i was curled into Xeros’s chest, my face pressed into his bare skin and his arms wrapped tightly around me. Normally, nothing brought me as much comfort as this,but as much as I tried to relax into his embrace, sleep danced just out of reach, like a strip tease, no matter how hard I tried to reach out for it, it eluded me.Something felt… wrong.My skin prickled, the hair on my body standing on edge. A strange sensation crawled its way up my spine, making the air in the room feel heavier, pressing down on me. It was just my mind playing tricks on me, maybe it was because tonight had been emotionally exhausting. But the feeling wouldn’t leave; it only grew more intense, like invisible eyes watching from somewhere in the shadows.I shifted in Xeros’s arms, careful not to wake him. His breathing deepened, but even in sleep, his arm tightened slightly around my waist, as if some part of him

    Cassiopiea Nyx"It's me, Demetria." "What is she doing here?" Hera growled, her anger pushing through.Demetria nervously poked her head through the door, her dark hair cascading around her shoulders as she spotted me. Her eyes widened when she noticed who was at the door, and she took a few steps back in surprise." uhhh, good evening, your majesty," she bowed in apprehension.Xeros scowled, his eyes flashing red before he sighed, turing around to glance at me.I didn't know what to say. I didn't know how to act around her. "The queen is very tired after having a long day. She doesn't want to see anyone," Xeros gritted, ignoring her greetings. Demetria nodded in understanding, but i couldn't help but notice that her shoulders drooped in dissapoinment, and her eyes grew clowdy. I hated this part of me, the one that just couldn't ignore."I'll come back some other time," She mumbled before bowing to Xeros and then to me."Goodnight Alpha, Goodnight Luna."She turned around to leave,

    Cassiopeia Nyx My knees wobbled as Xeros led me back to the room. I could barely keep up, my body slumped against his as we walked. I had tried so hard to hold on during dinner, I tried not to cower away, I forced the food down my throat. The only thing helping me was Xeros, his grip around my hand grounded me, like he was sending surges of confidence through my skin. The problem wasn't the pack members or the food or the role itself, I was the problem. I just couldn't detach myself from the anxiety hovering around me.These past few days, I realized that whenever I was anxious , I seemed to close up my mental barriers. I shut Hera out. I couldn't help it, I didn't realize I was blocking her out until a few moments ago, when I wondered why she had been silent for so long. That was the same thing that was happening to me, the anxiety that I had pushed at bay, the uncertainty swirling around me—everything threatened to hold me down,to choke me. We finally reached the door and the

    Xeros RomanovThis was the last step and the most difficult of all for Cassie. The first dinner. More like an introduction.The smell of spice, roasted meat and gravy wafted throughout the air as we made way towards the dinning hall. The pack members strictly adhered to rules i had set regarding Cassie but now that she was the Luna, i couldn't give them any excuse as to why they couldn't meet their Luna without tarnishing her image. Cassie’s hand shook softly in my grasp as we pushed through the doors and stepped into the dinning area, i knew she was doing her best to keep her head upright and her gaze levelled. I could tell she wanted nothing more than to cower behind me, hide away from their expectant gazes. Tonight would be our first real appearance together, a chance for Cassie to show herself to the pack, to become part of the world I’d grown up in. They all stood up as we approached, i spotted Anakin at the far end of the room, a small smile on his face. “Don't be scared,”
