He Chose Her, So I Claimed My Name

The king tells her to stay and settle her accounts, and promises to return at Midsummer.
Cassius

Then stay and settle them. A woman who pays her accounts before she goes is harder to call a thief.

He said it like it was simple, as if I were not standing in the wreck of three years.

Cassius

I will come back at Midsummer. Have it finished by then.

Synopsis

“You can keep the stores,” Darragh tells me when he brings her home. He thinks that is mercy. I am Fiona Cairn. For three years I have been his wife, his Luna, and the pair of hands that kept Greywater fed. Our bond was never completed. He never wanted me enough to finish it. Then he seats Ilona at my table. Pregnant. He calls her his Luna and tells me to move my things. He thinks I have no family, no name, no way out. He is wrong. My mother's seal is old. The Alpha King answers old seals. Darragh says I am still his. The Alpha King says I am not his to keep. At the Sun Court, I will sign my name. If Darragh tries to stop me, he will learn what a king's word costs.
