Fangs Of Love Chapter Twenty-Seven
Xeros RomanovHer words caused my chest to constrict, a blend of pride and fear running through me. She was delicate yet resilient, bravely confronting her fears despite the daunting and unsettling nature of it all."You don't have to pretend to be brave, Cassie," I murmured, gently stroking her cheek. She trembled all over while facing me, separated by the bars. "I have enough strength for the both of us."She hesitated before looking up to meet my gaze, then quickly looked away. "I... I must go," she stammered. I could sense the internal battle she was fighting as her body shook while she spoke. Even though she was afraid, there was a sense of determination in her demeanor that showed how committed she was to fulfilling this task, regardless of her fear."Cassie," I whispered, moving nearer to the bars, "you're not obligated to do anything for them. You don't need to repay me. You have exceeded all expectations."Her eyes flickered up to mine again, wide and uncertain, but she shook
Fangs Of Love Chapter Twenty-Eight
Cassiopeia NyxMorning came faster than I could have anticipated. It felt as if the night went by in the twinkle of an eye. The maids came to dress me, but I hardly paid attention. My mind kept morphing and twisting through multiple images. Xeros had left before I woke up. Anakin explained to me that he went for a run, attempting to cool himself down before embarking on the journey.By the time he came back, we were already dressed and ready. Anakin accompanied us, along with a few pack members, in case of any issues that arose.As soon as Xeros returned, he sought me out like always. Before I could even speak, he pulled me into his arms, wrapping them tightly around my waist as he nuzzled his face into my neck, inhaling deeply. For a moment, our close contact seemed to wash away my worries. Apparently, it had an effect because the cold look in his eyes, which he'd carried since the day I stepped into the dungeon, vanished completely.It didn’t take long before we arrived at the Night
Fangs Of Love Chapter Twenty-Nine
Cassiopeia Nyx "You stupid and insolent mutt!" Xeros roared, his shoulders raised in indignation, the sheer fury in his voice sending a shiver down my spine.For a moment, I found myself stepping forward, instinctively wanting to go to him, to pacify his anger. But Anakin grabbed my arm, pulling me back with a firm hand. His eyes darkened, giving me a silent warning to stay out of it.I stood frozen, my fingers nervously fiddling with the hem of Anakin's coat as he pulled me closer to him. His eyes scanned the area, and mine followed too, watching the pack members—my pack members—scurry away from the vicinity, scrambling to get back into the pack house in a bid to escape his anger.But my father—he was determined to test that storm. Xeros’s rage only seemed to fuel his defiance.With a swift, almost undecipherable motion, Xeros’s hand shot out, grabbing my father roughly by the throat. A gasp escaped me as I watched in horror, my eyes widening at the sight. My father’s legs kicked he
Fangs Of Love Chapter Thirty
Cassiopeia NyxSilence prevailed for a few seconds, and I found myself daring to look up, to face my tormentors. They all bowed to me, as if I was greater than them, as if they hadn’t squashed me under their feet like I was insignificant. My eyes remained solely on one person, Demetria. I hadn't seen her in years; she never came to visit me in the dungeons, and she never even tried to help me. She didn't do anything—she was just like the rest of them.“May I stand?” she asked, her voice meek, as if she could not hold back against defying Xeros's command, yet it carried through the silence.Xeros nodded, his gaze unwavering as he eyed her with uncertainty. “Stand.”With that, she approached the stand, her movements hesitant. She knelt before me, her head bowed, and my heart twisted in my chest. I took a few steps back, pulling Xeros with me a little. What could she possibly say?“Cassie,” she began, her voice trembling. “I—I know I’ve done wrong by you.” Her eyes met mine, filled with
Fangs Of Love Chapter Thirty-One
Xeros RomanovIt was the most beautiful thing I had seen.Even in the midst of the turmoil, I couldn’t help but be enthralled by it. So beautiful and so pure, like a daisy sprouting out of soil infused with years' worth of suffering and horror.Her smile.She was smiling at me.Her eyes widened a little, and she slapped her hand over her mouth, glancing around with wide eyes like she had done something so grave. I couldn’t help the smile that spread across my face as my arms tightened around her waist even more.I couldn’t explain how I felt. She told me she didn’t think of me as a monster anymore. She didn’t know how long I had wished for someone to say that to me, how long I had craved even a fraction of what I felt at this very moment.“Are you ready to leave, Angel?” I murmured, her scent swallowing me whole as she stood impossibly close to me. Her eyes widened in realization as she glanced around at the kneeling figures of the Nightwolf pack still in view. It seemed she had forgo
Fangs Of Love Chapter Thirty-two
Cassiopiea NyxThe journey back to moonstone was nothing but quiet, Hera growled at me all the way back, her anger was slowly seeping into the cracks of my soul, and suddenly I found myself getting angry too.Why did I have to take her in?She let me suffer, didn't she?I should let her suffer.But yet again, another part of me,the inner and dumb part of me spoke up, she was my sister, I couldn't let father do the same to her, what if he vented out all his frustrations on her..."Your kindness would be your own undoing, Human" Hera sighed, receding back into her place, the distant corners of my mind.Xeros pulled me flush into him as the car bumped up and down the road, His arm tightened around my waist, offering a silent wave of comfort. I could sense his unease—his protective instincts were heightened, especially now that Demetria was trailing behind us in a seperate car with Anakin. He didn’t trust her, and honestly, I wasn’t sure if I did either.But I couldn’t just leave her. I c
Fangs Of Love Chapter Thirty-three
Cassiopeia NyxThe sunlight filtered through the windows as I glanced around the room drowsily. Another yawn escaped me as I sat up, the clock on the other side of the room speaking to me.7:53 a.m.How did I sleep through yesterday up until today? That was almost twelve hours. Where was Xeros?His side of the bed was empty, almost as if he hadn't even lain there. Immediately, my mind went back to the dungeons, and I almost bolted off the bed."Calm down, human. He went for a run," Cassie whispered, eliciting a sigh of relief from me.He was okay.I stretched slowly, my body still feeling the weight of exhaustion. With a sigh, I slipped out of bed and padded across the cool floor to the bathroom. A hot bath sounded like a good idea, something to help me wake up and calm the swirl of emotions inside. As I settled into the warm water, I closed my eyes, letting the heat relax my tense muscles.For a few minutes, I allowed myself to just be. No memories of the past. No thinking about the
Fangs Of Love Chapter Thirty-four
Xeros RomanovMy impatience was palpable as I sat before the court, listening to the boring and monotonous voices of the elders as they spoke about trade, rogues, and whatnot. None of that seemed to interest me. Instead, all I could think about was the dark-haired beauty nestled in the corners of my heart.Cassie.I physically itched to run back to the room and gather her into my arms, bury my face into her neck, and drown myself in her sweet scent. I wouldn’t mind dying if that was the last thing I ever smelled. If her round and beautiful eyes were the last thing I looked into as I closed my eyes into a state of serenity, that wouldn’t be death anymore, but rather heaven.Since I saw her, claimed her as mine, I had never voluntarily spent more than an hour away from her. Even if I wasn’t with her physically, I could still smell her scent from outside the door, still hear her ruffle with the blanket as she always did when she was nervous.Every moment away from her felt like an eterni

Fangs Of Love Chapter Fifty-One
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
Fangs Of Love Chapter Fifty
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
Fangs Of Love Chapter Forty-eight.
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,
Fangs Of Love Chapter Forty-seven
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
Fangs Of Love Chapter Forty-six
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,”
Fangs Of Love Chapter Forty-five
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
Fangs Of Love Chapter Forty-four
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

Xeros Romanov She tensed in my arms, her entire body freezing over in shock, our lips pressed against each others. 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. Everything she did, her feeble attempt to keep up with my intense pace, the way she grabbed the front of my shirt only intensified my desire and i couldn't help the deafening growl that escaped my throat. Every nerve in my body responded to her. She pulled me closer, her arms wrapping around my neck as if i was the only anchor grounding her to reality. The moment her lips moved against mine sent a jolt through me, an electri
