“Cynthia doesn’t know because she’s never seen me faint before. And since Doctor Philips has never been called to check on me after it happened, he has no idea either.”“Damn it!” Anton let go of her hand and stood up abruptly from the bed. He marched toward the door, his body tense with frustration, but after a few seconds, he turned around and walked back to her.Kyra couldn’t bring herself to meet his eyes. She was afraid of what she might see in them—anger and disappointment. Her fingers nervously twisted the edge of the blanket as the mattress dipped beside her again when Anton sat down.He returned to the same spot, close enough to touch her, but she could still feel the distance between them.“How many times have you fainted?” he asked quietly, though his tone was still sharp.Kyra hesitated. She considered lying, saying it had only happened once. But his earlier words about how scared he had been that she wouldn’t wake up echoed in her mind. That fear had been real. If she lie
Kyra is stunned but the shock remained only for a moment. She recovered fast and threw her arms around Anton, hugging him close like he was going to vanish again and surrendering to him.His kiss is tender, deep and passionate. It was like being consumed by electricity. Her body tingled and she felt more alive than she had ever been. Her head spin as she opened her mouth under his and he swept his tongue inside to tangle with hers. Her body trembled as she kissed him back with favor.Kya moaned as the intensity of the kiss increased and Anton drew her closer to himself, his erection pressing against her stomach.If anyone had told her that Anton would kiss her one day, and even get hard because of her, she would never have believed. Yes, they were very close and she saw him as more than just a friend but she hadn’t known that it was the same for him until now. She thought he liked Tanya in this way. She was the one he liked.Kyra was giddy with happiness and with this realization cam
After a few seconds, Kyra gave in and hugged Anton back. Her hands tight on his waist as she pressed closer as if trying to mold their bodies together.“Come, let’s return home. No training for today,” Anton said when they finally separated from the hug. “Take today off, Baxter. I’ll take the Miss to rest,”Baxter bowed, “Thank you, my king,” he picked up his sword and looked at Kyra, “I hope that the next time we meet you’ll look healthier than today.” He bowed to her before taking his leave.Kyra rolled her eyes as she watched Baxter exit the training ground. After he had left, she refused to turn to look at Anton even if she could feel his attention on her.“You really are going to make me force you to look at me, right?”Kyra pressed her lips into a thin line not saying a word.“Are you still mad at me for disappearing on you? Believe me, I didn't mean to. I tried to come back to visit you multiple times but there was no chance to do so. I did not know when exactly I’d be back so
Kyra struggled to pry her eyes open, only to be met with a blurry, unfamiliar haze. She frowned, disoriented, and attempted to roll onto her side. A low groan escaped her lips as she slowly turned, her vision clearing to reveal the unfamiliar yet familiar space of her own bathroom. Confusion gave way to alarm as she realized she was lying on the cold, hard floor.She slowly pushed herself into a sitting position as she struggled to remember how she got to the floor of her bathroom. Her head was pounding with a terrible headache and her eyes felt hot and puffy, her nose was congested, forcing her to breathe through her mouth, each ragged inhale a struggle.She’d woken up this morning to take her bath and go for a little work since she was tired of always being indoors and only going out for her training. She missed having Tanya and Anton around, the thought brought tears to her eyes as she took her bath but she did not let it fall.After bathing, she was wiping her body with her towel
Two whole days and she’s not caught a glimpse of Anton and Tanya. The remaining part of the ceremony was cancelled and everybody returned home to their various packs amidst grumbles and complaints. For the next week, all everybody including the maids in the palace spoke about was the upcoming duel and Kyra could not find it in her to sit still. She was agitated even when she knew the duel was not until a few months time. She wanted to find Anton so that they could talk but he was always busy, so she began to suspect that he was actually avoiding her. Tanya included. She could not blame Tanya though, she lost her temper the other night and it was unforgivable. Tanya was her friend and she won’t intentionally do anything to hurt Kyra, especially as she knew all Kyra has been through and she has accused Tanya of doing exactly that. There was no excuse for it. When she saw that she could only meet with Anton when he was ready to stop avoiding her, Kyra decided to return to her training
“It does not matter if she’s the daughter of an alpha because your father is also an alpha or have you forgotten?”“My father was an alpha but never for one day was I trained. I’ve always been weak and according to my father, that was my punishment for killing off my mother.” Kyra’s voice broke at the end and she felt like slipping to the ground and bursting into loud sobs but she held herself back from doing so. She has told herself after the death of her child that she would never cry again. Instead, she will make all those who've made her shed tears cry.Tanya was shocked at Kyra’s confession and a look of pity appeared in her eyes.“You don't know what you've gotten me into, Tanya.” Kyra raved, her eyes bright with anger, “Lisa is a mad person. Can’t you see how she scratched her own face and hands in such an ugly way? For her mate to have been mated to me in the first place, danced with me in front of everybody and still declared that he was more worthy of having me than Anton i
