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

    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.

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

    CASSIOPEIA NYXMy hands shook as i rested against the wall of the grimy and dirty cell that i called home. The solid structure of the wall against my back gave me more support than i had ever felt in my entire life. The sad life of being born a cursed one. Incessant squeaking from the edge of the cell resounded in the quiet and vast room, making me feel so small as i huddled into myself, My dark hair falling over my face as i rested my head on my knees. We were two to be executed. The first was Erica, She had found out her husband disregaded their mate bond and mated with another female so she injected silver into his blood stream and killed him. Just like me she was quiet, not a sound could be heard from her cell.Although my fingers trembled, my palms were clammy and my head dizzy from imagining the feeling of death, i looked foward to it and so did she. The time came just as light began to seep through the tiny window at the top corner of the cell. The rusted chains wrapped a

    Xeros Romanov "Alpha King" Anakin yelled out, sucessfullly gaining my attention. I glanced at his strained form, hunched at the drivers seat. He didn't spare me a glance as his eyes were fully focused of the lands that lead to Nightwolf pack. "Is something the matter, Your Majesty". He asked after noticing that he had sucessfully gained my attention. I ignored his words, not quite in the mood to speak. A brimming trepidation was forming in me. Like something life changing was about to occur. What could possibly be life changing at a purge ceremony. The only the life changing event was that a few murderes were going to lose their heads. Well, not only their heads. From the corner of my eyes, I felt Anakin glance at me mulitple times until it was no longer ignorable. "I'm fine Beta" I stated before returning my gaze to the view from outside the car window. He took that as a cue to focus on driving. Soon enough, the borders of Nightwolf pack came into the view. I could feel the ch

    Xeros Romanov My Mate.Their QueenMy LunaShe would have been dead in a matter of seconds had I decided to delay.My vision blurred with rage. I felt the beast inside me clawing at the edges of my mind, demanding to be let out. Every instinct I had screamed to tear apart anyone who stood between me and her. She was mine, and they had dared to touch her. Toharm her. I could feel my control slipping, my humanity waning as the lycan within me surged forward.I don't remember crossing the distance to her. One moment I was watching in horror, and the next I was at her side, ripping through the ropes that bound her with a single swipe. Her body fell into my arms, so fragile, so still. She whimpered just barely, and it was enough to make my blood boil. I was too late. Too late to protect her from whatever hell they'd put her through."Alpha King!" a voice called out, but it barely registered in my mind. I turned, my gaze locking onto Alpha Dimitri as he approached, his face a mix of fear

    Cassiopeia NyxI awoke to a world shrouded in confusion. The ceiling above me was unfamiliar, an expanse of soft gray, nothing like the damp, cracked stone I had grown accustomed to. My heart raced as I tried to piece together the fragments of my last memories. The Purge. There had been darkness, a cold finality, the sting of pain, and then…nothing. How was I still here? I was supposed to be dead.My fingers curled into the sheets beneath me, the texture soft and luxurious against my skin. I glanced around the room. This was wrong. I shouldn’t be feeling anything. I shouldn’t be…alive. Panic clawed at my chest, my breath quickening as I forced myself to sit up. My body felt strange, heavy, as though it didn’t belong to me.Before I could make sense of my surroundings, the door creaked open, and a woman hurried in. Her movements were quick but gentle, her eyes filled with something I didn’t recognize at first—pity. She looked at me like I was something fragile, something broken. “ Oh

    Cassiopeia Nyx.Another scream ripped from my throat before I could stop it, piercing the air between us. His grip on my wrist slackened, and in that moment, I could see the shift in his eyes—a flicker of concern breaking through the mask of intensity. It was the kind of expression I had only seen a few times in my life, and it unnerved me even more. He stepped back as if my fear had burned him, and I took the opportunity, heart pounding, to scramble away.I barely made it to the edge of the bed before I felt the tears blurring my vision. My body shook, each sob tearing through me as the reality of my situation crashed down. My mate. The Alpha King. Bound to him for the rest of my life, just like my mother was to my father. The thought made me tremble harder. I could see it so clearly—the endless years of pain, the torment that was sure to follow. My father’s cruelty was legendary, but this man… this Alpha King… he was a nightmare I hadn't even had the courage to dream of.I heard him

    Xeros Romanov Sitting by Cassie's door, I felt trapped like an animal in a cage. The wolf inside me was uneasy, moving back and forth, its claws scratching at the interior of my head. Though she was right behind the door, it seemed like there was a vast space separating us, one that I couldn't navigate without causing harm. All my instincts were telling me to approach her, to embrace her, to shield her, but I was unable to. I would not. When she gazed at me with those eyes filled with fear, it was not the right time. This was not how it was meant to be. When I first discovered she was my mate, the connection clicked into place so strongly that I was almost brought to my knees. The desire to stay by her side, to claim her as my own, to shield her from all dangers and threats was overwhelming. However, I was surprised by the fear in her eyes when she recognized me. More than just a partner, but a leader of the pack. And not any Alpha, but 'the' Alpha King himself. His partner. She ap

    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,”

    Cassiopeia Nyx"Do you, Cassiopeia Nyx," the elder began, turning to grab an ancient-looking dagger from the side table at the podium, "accept the role of Luna Queen, not only to this pack but to all shifters and werekind? Do you accept to be bound to this identity forever and to never be free from your responsibilities as the Luna Queen?"The elder’s eyes darkened at my silence as I stared at him, wondering why he was saying it like that. His posture and words carried an edge, as if he wanted me to fail, to feel scared. It seemed like he could see my fears and apprehension despite my facade.Xeros squeezed my hand softly, and my eyes flashed to his, settling in the comfort and reassurance in his gaze. I could almost hear his voice in my head."Don't let him scare you. I'm with you."I glanced back at the elder, whose gaze looked almost triumphant, before taking a deep breath. The murmurs in the crowd had stilled as if they were all waiting for me to speak, to make my decision."Go on

    Cassiopeia Nyx "You look beautiful, Luna"I glanced at Rori, her long hair ruffled all over face as she smiled, the warmth exuding from her fought against the chills developing in my spine. My coronation day.Luna Queen.I ran my fingers over the soft fabric of the ceremonial robe that had been prepared for me. a deep green with intricate brown stitching and embroidery, at the sleeves and bottom of the robes, there was a small forest carefully embroidered. A gentle knock at the door startled me, pulling me from my thoughts. I turned to see Martha, her face lit with a proud smile as she entered the room.She cooed, as she stepped closer to me."You look so beautiful dear". Her smile was uplifting, like physically uplifting. She fretted over how i was still thin but not in a condescending way, in a way that spoke of volumes of concern.Rori greeted her softly and they began to converse about me, and how to sneak more proteins into my food, totally ignoring the fact that i was standing

She didn't seem to realize what she had awoken in me, The feeling of her lips against my cheek had sent Nox into a frenzy, his gripping desire to claim rising to the surface. My hand reached out to cup her face before finally moving against her lips. My entire body thrummed with desire as her soft and warm lips clashed with mine, a thousand sensations bursting in the air around us.My grip around her waist tightened possessively as i moved my lips.
