Ivara's POV

I sat at the table, stabbing the food in front of me. I was trying desperately to focus on the meal, but Aunt Kali wasn’t letting me. She had positioned herself beside me, and made sure to interrogate me between bites. For some reason, she kept probing, digging for answers, and it was making me incredibly uncomfortable.

We'd started with my parents — how I'd ended up at Dark Hell, what I was before that, who my parents were— and I'd given her the minimum without going deeper.

  • Auctioned Bride Of The Cursed Alpha    Chapter 155: Kissing Partners

    Xlynor's POVIvara didn't respond because she was already distracted by the contents of the box and kept turning it and staring at it in admiration. “It's mine? Like actually mine? This belongs to me? I don't think I want to sell it. It's so beautiful.”“There's only one of it in all of Athynra, and I got it,” I said. “So if you try to sell it, whoever you approach will either think it's fake or think you stole it from me.”“I said I'm not selling it.” She sounded genuinely offended. “I haven't thought it through yet.”I nodded, glancing at the mirror. She was holding it up, and tilting it. The earlier red in her face was replaced by awe and admiration and then a soft, delighted laugh escaped her. For a moment, she looked completely lost in it.“So,” I said, turning back to the road. “I've been thinking.”“About what?” she cut in excitedly.“Let me finish.” I adjusted my grip on the wheel. “I thought about it carefully. It was something I suddenly thought of after you left the yard, a

  • Auctioned Bride Of The Cursed Alpha    Chapter 154: Gifts

    Xlynor's POVI followed Ivara’s scent through the barracks until I found her in the parking garage, tucked away in my car. The guards must have brought her here after she ran off because there was absolutely no way she found the garage on her own.For some reason, she was seated in the back, not the front. I stood at the driver's door for a second and looked at her through the glass. A smirk crept onto my lips, but I said nothing, and simply slid into the driver’s seat.“You know this makes you look like a passenger,” I said, adjusting the rearview mirror until I could see her properly. “And me, like your driver.”She didn’t respond. She was staring at the window. Red-faced, expression locked down, and very committed to not acknowledging that I existed.Okay, I got it.I noticed the stuff Zane had dropped in the passenger seat. It felt weird having to do this now. I wasn't ready yet, and I had no idea Ivara would come to the barracks. Otherwise, I would have hidden it.Anyway, she had

  • Auctioned Bride Of The Cursed Alpha    Chapter 153: Tease

    Xlynor's POVI watched Ivara rush out of the yard until her figure disappeared around the corner, then a sly grin spread across my face. I couldn't stop it, even though I wanted to.Interesting. I had just figured out a game I'd thought was one-sided wasn't.I was starting to get pissed that Ivara could mess with my head, my nerves, and my thoughts, yet walk around, exist, and do whatever she did to me without any apparent awareness of it—acting completely unbothered by the whole thing. Well, not today. Finally, I wasn't the only one being affected by the other person. Very fulfilling.I pressed my tongue against the inside of my cheek and turned to the yard.The problem was that teasing her was its own trap. It wasn't so easy. I'd gotten close because I wanted to bother her, or maybe not, but then, I hadn't wanted to stop at just bothering her. That was the problem. That was always the problem with her.Her crazy and addictive cinnamon scent had a way of triggering a surge of dopamin

  • Auctioned Bride Of The Cursed Alpha    Chapter 152: Hypocrite

    Ivara's POV“I beg you, please spare me.” Nathan’s screams and pleas pierced my ears, pulling me back from that ridiculous thought.I shook my head hard. What is wrong with you, Ivara? Why would you want him to touch you? This was crazy! I was sure Xlynor was manipulating me. This wasn’t me.I turned to Xlynor. “Do you…” I stopped then pressed my lips together, turning back to Nathan.“No… please—” Nathan's voice broke in half. “Alpha, please, I made mistakes, I know, I was selfish and evil but please—give me one last chance. I do not want to die.” He pulled so hard against the ropes that blood welled at his wrists. “Please—”My stomach clenched so badly I thought I might be sick. Even though I wasn't supposed to kill him, his screams made it seem so. I didn't want this.“Raise the bow.” Xlynor's command came.I tried, but my grip wasn't strong enough. It wasn’t that I couldn’t. I just wasn’t in the right state of mind. “I… I can’t.” I barely said it above a whisper.“I didn’t ask tha

  • Auctioned Bride Of The Cursed Alpha    Chapter 151: Absolutely Not

    Ivara's POVXlynor froze, his hand stilling on my neck mid-motion. I waited for him to step back or release me, but he just stayed pressed against me, his breath warm on my neck and his grip still on my wrist. But whatever had been moving through him a second ago went quiet, like a current being cut.The ache at the back of my neck came in slow and dull, where his hand had been. The sudden ache made me instantly regret every word I'd just said.I paused, registering what I'd just thought. Regret? I was regretting it? What was there to regret? What had this man done to me? Now I was thinking stupid things? Why was I thinking I shouldn't have taken back something I'd said to get free of him? What kind of sense did that make? None! Apparently, I was starting to lose my mind, or maybe I had already lost it.“Xlynor?” I called out to him, seeing he hadn't moved. “Are you there?”No response.I tried to twist free, but his grip on my wrists stayed firm, keeping me pinned beneath him.He slo

  • Auctioned Bride Of The Cursed Alpha    Chapter 150: Body And Ownership

    Ivara's POV I glanced around desperately. Thankfully, the guards weren’t openly staring, but not looking didn't mean not knowing. They had to notice what their Alpha was doing. And if they hadn't, at least they could hear.I needed to get free. I needed to get free without making this worse, since he wasn't letting go and I had approximately no leverage and no plan.Before I could think it through, a plea slipped out. “Please… I’m sorry. I take it back—everything I said. All of it. You're not stupid, I'm the stupid one, I'm dumb, I take all of it back—”He didn’t move a muscle.I swallowed emptiness. “Xlynor…” My voice was embarrassingly unsteady. “Do you realize that there are guards in this yard? Anyone could come through that entrance. We're in a yard in the barracks and you're… you're doing this. You're going to ruin your reputation,” I whispered, and it came out like pulling a splinter.“You haven't taken everything back,” he said, against my hair.I raised a brow. “I said I tak

    Ivara’s POVXlynor kissed me, possessively and hungrily, like he was starving, and I was the only thing keeping him alive.His hand tangled in my hair, holding me in place and heat spread through my body despite my terror.His mouth moved against mine with a desperate intensity that made my knees we

    Xlynor's POV “Huh?” Her doe eyes glanced around, unsure if my words were meant for her. I caught her chin, forcing her trembling gaze to meet mine. She shivered slightly.The moment our eyes locked, I felt an energy shift that made even my demons stir. The air thickened between us. “I can’t hear

    Xlynor’s POV “You know how much I hate repeating myself, Aaron,” I muttered, my gaze fixed outside the window. “You and I both know this isn’t everything you stole.”“My Lord, please forgive me. I wasn’t in the right state of mind. I needed to sort my mother's bill and it was my only option. Pleas
