Mag-log inZoya!!!! If you don't put your nasty hands to yourself girl🔪🔪And Xlynor you're just going to sit there orr?? This is your court!!
Ivara's POVIt had been several minutes since Xlynor left with Isagi, and I was still in the glasshouse, unable to think straight.I was supposed to confront Xlynor… No, not confront him. Scold him a bit or whatever, then thank him, and finally ask how to take the bracelet off. He couldn't just be giving this sort of gift to people. What if I had ill intentions?But the problem was I didn't know how to go about it. In fact, I had almost smiled at him earlier. And now he was back. He was fucking back. I could see him through the glass.The lanterns lining the garden path spilled warm, golden light over him as he approached the glasshouse.He still looked sick, that twisted scowl fixed on his face. But, oh, dear Goddess, he looked sinful.It was only then that I noticed he'd changed out of his earlier outfit, but this one still screamed royalty. He had on his usual robe, the hem dragging against the stone path.Where the hell had he gone to? And why did he look like that?“Oh, damn it!
Xlynor's POV“You've got to be kidding me,” Isagi groaned, shaking his head. “Off-limits? That's not going to work. Besides, I'll have to show her what you did to me with a little more exaggeration. She can't be off-limits.”I stared at him flatly. “You seem to be forgetting you have no say here.”“You always have to be so miserable. It's not like I'm doing anything with her or that I have ill intentions,” he hissed through clenched teeth. “I don't know what your problem is.”I didn't speak, only glared hard at him.He rolled his eyes, straightened, and began walking away. “Fine, I'll think about it.”I grabbed his shoulder and roughly pulled him back, making him stumble. “You and I both know how corny and sly you are. And for fuck's sake, Isagi, if you piss me off, you're going to regret it.” My voice hardened, a warning rumbling beneath it. “Stay off my business.”He shook off my grasp with an irritated scowl. “If a girl you brought home starts driving my instincts insane, messing w
Xlynor's POVShe was laughing with Isagi! She was fucking laughing with him while he openly flirted with her, his gaze flickering towards me at intervals.And Ivara? She didn't even know I was there, she was too engrossed in her conversation. I finally managed to get here, only to be greeted by this nonsense?Wasn't this the same man who had left her injured and hurting yesterday? And now she was laughing with him?She finally stood and turned around, still smiling. Then her gaze fell on me, and she froze. Staring like she wasn't expecting me, and I was interrupting something. How rude.I ignored her questioning gaze. Her rudeness was the least of my concerns.“We need to talk,” I said to Isagi, my tone harsher than intended.He glanced around before pointing at himself. “Me or her?” He pointed at Ivara.I only glared.He raised both hands. “Got it. This might be the politest you've been to me in a while. You're so polite,” he muttered sarcastically.He stood, then walked over to Ivar
Ivara's POVMy lips parted, yet no words came out. It was as though my mind had suddenly emptied, leaving nothing but the echo of Isagi’s words.“You heard the warriors say that?” I asked.Isagi nodded. “They talked a lot during breaks. Listening to them was one of the highlights of my time in Silver Moon. So, yes, I heard it—and the coward himself confirmed it. He was the one bragging about everything.” He hesitated.“They said you had a thing for warriors and were always watching them like some sicko. So your sister decided to lend you one of them, and naturally, she picked the most useless one.” He sighed.I swallowed, but it did nothing to ease the ache spreading through my chest. I forced a smile. “I guess I can't blame you. I really was dumb and blind.” I tried to laugh it off.“I don't blame you, either. It's easy to understand why you'd fall for that. They said all he had to do was speak kindly to you, treat you well, and shield you from abuse and you fell for him. Silver Moon
Ivara's POV“So, um… need some company? A helping hand, maybe? I'm bored with nothing to do, so I figured I could keep you company. I promise I won't bore you to death,” Isagi said, shattering the serenity.I almost scowled at him.I looked up from the flowers, my gaze drifting toward him. He was busy on his phone, a smug smile on his face. But as I stared at him, a frown began forming on my face. I had questions for him, questions that had been bothering me.“I'm done here, so there's nothing to help with,” I replied.He looked up briefly. “So, can I stay? I'm free today.”“No. I still do not trust you.” I shrugged.“I'm leaving Dark Hound for a while. Today's my last day here, so don't be so strict.”My brows furrowed. He'd been here for barely two weeks, and he was leaving already? I guess he really loved wandering Athynra. “You’re leaving?”“For a while. I've got a lot of things I have to handle. So let me stay with you today.” He blinked. “Huh?”I considered it for a moment befor
Ivara's POVHad I misheard or had Isagi really said he was here to apologize?I raised a brow. “Apologize?”“Yes,” he said with a sigh. “I wasn't thinking clearly or in the right state of mind and I mistook you for someone else and hurt you. I felt so guilty after I realized and I couldn't sleep throughout the night. I knew I had to apologize properly. I would've come to the castle, but I couldn't. I came here as soon as I found out you were here.” He finished speaking, then bowed his head as though remorseful.Staring at the act in front of me, all I felt was disgust. Did he really think I was that stupid?I folded my arms. “You mistook me for someone else, huh?”He nodded. “I'm so sorry for that, and I'm hoping you'll forgive me and that we can go back to being friends.”I snorted. “You do realize you were very deliberate about everything you said. You knew it was me and you were intentional! You assaulted me during your kissing spree, rambled nonsense, and then pretended you hadn't
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
Xlynor's POVOf course, Isagi would always find a way to piss me off. Even though he knew how much I hated being called brother by him, he still did it. Always insisting that since both our mothers were demigoddesses, we were siblings.“Don’t fucking call me that,” I scowled.Isagi pouted dramatica
IVARA“He wouldn’t let me into his manor, yet he brought this thing here and even gave her a room? Who the hell is she?”The rants and screams filtering into my ear forced me awake. I stirred, my eyes fluttering open
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
