“Did she— Did she just jump through the balcony?” Zane sprinted forward to stand beside me.
I had earlier given him a signal not to chase after the silver-haired, so he had remained standing until now.
He rushed to the balcony, then looked over it. “What kind of craziness is that? She literally jum

Auctioned Bride Of The Cursed Alpha Chapter 199: Mask On
Xlynor's POVI reached into the pocket of my coat for my phone, but my fingers found something else. I pulled it out and found the velvet box I'd gifted Ivara yesterday, along with her phone.Right. I'd retrieved the box in the middle of the night, along with her wet clothes, from the warehouse district, though not the car itself—I’d teleported.Boredom had sent me out after them before I'd gotten distracted handling her bruised wrist.I'd meant to return it this morning, but she'd been sick, then I'd gotten sidetracked being irrationally jealous over her excitement about seeing Jojo, and it had slipped my mind entirely.I glanced out the window. Jojo was still standing there, grinning ear to ear.I rolled the window down and held the box out to her. "Here. Give this back to Ivara — it's hers, she left it in the car."Jojo reached for it eagerly, but I pulled it back before she could get a proper look. "You are not allowed to open it. Not even a peek. Even if she tells you to.” I held
Auctioned Bride Of The Cursed Alpha Chapter 198: Don't Care
Xlynor's POVJojo's jaw dropped open, her eyes went wide, and one palm flew to her forehead as soon as the words left my mouth. “I think something's wrong with me… or maybe my ears,” she whispered.I leaned back against the car. “You heard me fine. I said what you think I said.”“Huh? Wait — you'd pick her over me?” Her voice climbed as she pressed her palm to her chest. “I think I'm heartbroken. And what do you mean, not as a slave? Oh, hold on, give me a second. I need to run that back through my head again.”I scoffed. “If you're going to be offended, be offended quietly, and save it for after I've picked her up. You will not make her uncomfortable with your dramatics or your opinions. And you say nothing about this to her. Not a word.”She didn't say a word, just stared at me like I'd started speaking a different language, both hands pressed over her mouth now.I wasn't bothered one bit. She'd wanted the truth, and she'd gotten it.Even though she had sworn to keep quiet, I wasn't
Auctioned Bride Of The Cursed Alpha Chapter 197: Eighty Over Twenty
Xlynor's POVI rolled my eyes again. What was there to smile about? She should just go ahead and become an investigator.I said nothing else, just reached for the car door but Jojo held it shut, blocking me from getting in.“Hold on.”I groaned. “I don't have time for—”“Do you like her, Xly?” She cut in plainly, blinking fast at me. No buildup, no preamble.That stopped me cold.She stood there watching me, face blank, eyes waiting.The question sat in the space between us while I turned it over like I hadn't spent the better part of this morning losing my mind over Ivara, like I hadn't held her hand moments ago specifically because I didn't want to stop touching her, and I couldn't kiss her, like my heart hadn't been speeding up or skipping beats because of her, and like I hadn't been obviously territorial and selfish about her.Did I? Or didn't I?Was I even obligated to answer that? It wasn't mandatory. I almost dismissed it immediately because it was easier, but I didn't.Jojo's
Auctioned Bride Of The Cursed Alpha Chapter 196: It Is Not
Xlynor's POV“I'm leaving in five minutes, Jojo,” I muttered. “I don't have all day. There's a stupid meeting I have to attend, so stop staring and start talking if you actually want to.”We'd been standing in the parking lot for about eight minutes, ever since she'd dragged me out here claiming she wanted a word, and so far all she'd done was stare and smile. Like we were locked in some kind of silent competition I never agreed to enter.She looked away and heaved a sigh. “I want to talk. I'm just working out how to start.” Her eyes lifted to mine again.I scoffed. “If you weren't Jojo, I'd assume you were working up a confession and blushing. Get on with it. You might be pretty, but I'm not trying to woo you.”She sucked her teeth. “Tsk. You crazy child. You'll say just about anything these days.”I rolled my eyes. “Then get on with it. Four minutes left, Jojo.”I was still pissed with her. After ignoring my existence and barely sparing a glance my way the entire visit, she suddenly
Auctioned Bride Of The Cursed Alpha Chapter 195: Chase It
Xlynor's POVWe reached the dining room, and Jojo had everything already laid out on the table, and it smelled good.I pulled Ivara in ahead of me. “Go on.”Then I turned and planted myself in the doorway, blocking Jojo from following. “Let her be for now, and let her rest once she's done eating. I'll come pick her up.” I kept my voice low.Jojo crossed her arms. “You're acting like I'm some kind of threat. If you're going to hover this much, you might as well have kept her at your dark castle.”“I'm not hovering. I'm being clear. She's sick and recovering. Don't stress her out.” I shot back.“Stress her?” Jojo blinked, her expression shifting. “...Oh, okay.”I scoffed. “You're the one treating me like a stranger.” I turned back to the table, where Ivara sat, food untouched, staring at me. Not the good kind of staring.Of course. I get the bad end of her attitude.I walked over and sat beside her. “What?”“Were you gossiping about me behind my back? What did you tell her?”I drummed m
Auctioned Bride Of The Cursed Alpha Chapter 194: Cast Aside
PS: Hey, loves! I’m sorry for the delayed update. I was really occupied last week, so I couldn’t write a thing. I’m promising consistency this week—at least two chapters a day. And I mean it! ❤️Thank you for sticking with me. 🥹❤️Xlynor's POVI caught sight of Jojo the second we pulled into her drive. She was standing on the porch, waving at us with both hands and beaming like she'd been camped out there all morning waiting.I rolled my eyes. It had barely been a week since she last saw me, and she still acted like it had been a decade. I bet she'd rushed through cooking just to make it outside in time. I'd told her a dozen times not to stand out there waiting on me, but she never listened.Ivara, meanwhile, was practically vibrating in her seat. I still couldn't work out what exactly was so thrilling about a visit to Jojo's, but whatever it was, it had her lit up like this.She was never this excited to see me. Not once. I felt the jealousy prickle before I could stop it, and I thr

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
