All Chapters of Banished Into His Arms: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

CHAPTER 12The Way He Looks At HerNyra’s POVLady Virelle stared at us from the doorway and her eyes were locked on Cassian’s hand around my waist, then on how closed our faces were.Hatred flashed across her expression before the smile returned again. It was fake, beautiful and dangerous and Cassian slowly released me.But his body stayed in front of mine like he was shielding me without thinking and Virelle noticed that too.“Am I interrupting something?” she asked sweetly.“No,” I answered quickly and Cassian said nothing.The silence became heavy and Virelle walked farther into the room gracefully and the sound of her heels filled the chamber.“I came to speak with the King,” she said, but her eyes stayed on me. “I did not realize he was occupied.”“Occupied.” The word burned my face again.“I was leaving anyway,” I muttered and I tried to walk past her but then suddenly dizziness hit me again and my body swayed slightly and Cassian caught my arm immediately.His touch was instan

CHAPTER 14Dangerous JealousyNyra’s POV“Dance with me again.”The words still rang inside my head even after Cassian pulled me into the center of the ballroom, music rose around us again.But this dance felt different and worse.His hand slid around my waist slowly and my breath caught immediately, it was too close and everything about him felt too close.I then placed my hand against his shoulder carefully, and tried not to react when his fingers pressed against my back.The entire ballroom watched us openly now and nobody even pretended not to stare anymore and I could feel their eyes burning into me.The rejected wolf. The pregnant girl. The King’s obsession.I hated all of it.“Relax.”Cassian’s deep voice pulled me from my thoughts.“I am relaxed.”“You are gripping my shoulder like you want to break it.”Heat rushed into my face immediately.“I do not even want to touch you.”A dangerous look flashed through his silver eyes.“But you keep doing it anyway.”My heart jumped stup

CHAPTER 16 Why Do I Still Feel Her? Draven’s POV “Nyra?” The forest gave me nothing back but only silence and I stood there breathing hard while my eyes searched the darkness again and again. But her scent was gone, completely gone. My wolf growled violently inside me. “Find her.” I clenched my fists hard. “I’m trying.” The words left my mouth before I realized I said them aloud. Moon. I was losing control. I stayed in that clearing until dawn, staring at the blood on the ground like it would suddenly give me answers. But all I kept hearing was her voice. “Please believe me.” Pain twisted through my chest again and I shoved it down hard and returned to the pack before sunrise. The moment I entered the training grounds, every warrior straightened instantly. Good. Fear still existed here. At least something still made sense. “Again,” I barked. The warrior in front of me looked exhausted already and blood covered his lip and sweat ran down his neck but still, he nodd

CHAPTER 18Stay Away From MeNyra’s POV“Who hurt you this time?”Cassian’s voice filled the room softly, but it still made my chest tightened and I quickly turned my face away and wiped my tears hard before he could come closer.“Nobody.”It sounded weak even to me and Cassian shut the door behind him slowly.“I asked a question.”“I heard you.”“Then answer it.”Anger rose inside me suddenly because I hated this, and I hated how he kept seeing things I tried hiding, I hated how he looked at me like I mattered.Nobody ever looked at me that way before, not even Draven, especially not Draven.I then stood up from the bed quickly.“I don’t need pity.”Cassian then walked toward me immediately, and he was slow, calm and dangeroua.“Good,” he said. “Because I do not pity you.”My breath caught and that answer shook me badly because he sounded honest, completely honest and then I looked away fast.“You should leave.”“I’m not leaving.”“Why?”The question came out louder this time.“Why d

CHAPTER 20The Poison Did Not Make SenseDraven’s POV“What if I was wrong?”The question refused to leave my head, it followed me through the halls, through meetings and through every breath.Nyra’s face kept appearing in my mind again and again, it was not angry, it was not guilty, it was broken.I remembered her chained inside the dungeon, shaking while tears rolled down her face.“You know I didn’t poison her.”At that time, I thought she was lying.Now…I was no longer sure and my wolf would not calm down either. It paced violently inside me every time I remembered her crying, every time I remembered rejecting her and every time I remembered throwing her into rogue territory alone.The guilt was becoming unbearable and by midnight, I gave up trying to sleep.I shoved my study doors open and walked through the dark hallways alone, guards bowed immediately when they saw me, but nobody dared speak.Good.Right now, I wanted silence.The healer’s chambers sat near the eastern wing of
