Fangs Of Love Chapter Twenty-four
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

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

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

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

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

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

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. I was trying so hard to be strong, and his support made everything feel easier, but
Fangs Of Love Chapter Fifty-three.
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
Fangs Of Love Chapter Fifty-two.
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
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

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,”
