[Astasia’s POV]

I grimace as Iravan’s worlds settle over me, and then fight the gag that wants to come with it. How the hell would I come to want to stay with a bastard like him? I was seeing first hand how he treated women he grew bored with, and I wasn’t enough of a fool to let myself believe for a second that I was any different.

Anyway, I don’t have any intention of ever falling in love, or anything like that. Trusting someone was too painful because even those closest to you betrayed you,

    [Navaeh’s POV]I stay like that, nestled in Allaric’s arms for I don’t know how long. It’s my safe space, the only place that I truly feel comfortable, and even though I don’t want to end this moment that we are having, I know that we have to.“Thanks,” I sigh, being the first to make a move. “I guess I needed that.”“Glad I could help,” Allaric smirks. “If ever you find yourself in need of someone to hold you, do seek me out first.”Nodding, I try to ignore a strange itchy feeling in my chest as I stare at Allaric, and before I can determine what it is, I fall back into business mode.“Right, we were discussing something.” I mutter, trying to get my wits about me. “Mercenaries. We need to find mercenaries.”“You,” Allaric counters. “Need to stay here and focus on mastering your abilities and stay safe. And I,” he continues as I open my mouth to argue. “I will be the one to go out and look for those mercenaries.”I bite back on my initial response because even if I want to argue him g

    [Iravan’s POV]I storm forward, shoving open the doors separating me from the room, and as I do, I move inside and start searching.Where is my little mate? I wonder as I take in the empty bed, the floor, and even the bathroom and bathtub. Where the hell did she go?Did someone come in the middle of the night and spirit her away, or did she venture out even though she knew she wouldn’t be able to find her way back to her room?“Dammit,” I growl, my panic and anger growing. “Where the hell are you?”As I speak, I hear a murmur just to my right, but when I turn in the direction it came from, I just come to see the empty bed.Frowning, I examine it while wondering if she was just so tiny that I didn’t see her figure beneath the blanket, but when I grab it and pull it aside, all I’m met with is a sheet.“What the hell?” I mutter as another murmur sounds, and I realize that the sound is coming from beneath.Slowly, I lower myself until I’m belly down on the carpet, and then I peek beneath

    [Iravan’s POV]“And one last thing,” I announce, digging into my pocket and pulling out a small golden bracelet. “Give me your wrist,” I command Illiana who stares in disbelief. “Now,” I growl when she doesn’t move.“What are you planning?” she asks, slowly doing as instructed. “What is that?”“This,” I huff, snapping the bracelet into place on Illiana’s wrist. “Is a bracelet made of iron.”“Iron,” Illiana hisses, her eyes growing wide. “Did you really just…”“Yam,” I call, not giving two shits what she has to say. “You should have no trouble with her now. Take her to her room.”“Iravan!” Illiana yells as Yam moves to grab her. “You can’t do this! Do you know what will happen once my father hears?”“Tell him,” I laugh, my head spinning from the extreme discomfort I’m in. “And I’ll also mention to him how you used that fucking aphrodisiac on me.”At my words, Illiana’s eyes grow wide, and I almost want to laugh.So, she didn’t think that I realized what was happening.“Do you think tha

    [Astasia’s POV]I look toward the room’s exit as the sounds of Iravan’s pleasure grows louder, and before I can even think twice about it, I start to move. I reach the door within a few strides, but as I reach out to grab it, I hear a commotion taking place outside.“MOVE ASIDE!” Illiana’s voice bellows. “GET THE HELL OUT OF MY WAY!”“Uh,” I murmur, listening to the sound of struggle just beyond Iravan’s door. “I think you have an issue. Well,” I continue, not daring to look behind me. “Another problem.”“I WANT TO SPEAK WITH IRAVAN RIGHT NOW!” Illiana yells as I hear a male voice trying to calm her. “I WANT TO SPEAK WITH HIM NOW!”He’s busy, I silently tell her as Iravan’s groans grow more intense. Or rather…He’s not really here right now.“IRAVAN!” Illiana yells as loud knocks sound from the door. “OPEN THIS DAMN DOOR RIGHT NOW!”“Crazy,” I hiss, unable to believe that she would go to this extent. “This bitch is crazy.”“OPEN UP NOW, IRAVAN!” Illiana repeats, banging on the door aga

    [Astasia’s POV]“Try it.”The words are leaving my lips before I can stop them, and then I’m moving, storming toward Iravan as he breathes heavily, and his fists clench and unclench until blood starts to drip from them.“Look at the state of you.” I continue as I reach. “Reduced to this after pretending to be such a strong and intimidating man.”As I speak, I jab a finger against Iravan’s chest, and when he lets out a rumble of satisfaction, I find myself wondering if the man was secretly a masochist.That’s not what is important, Astasia, I hiss at myself while focusing on Iravan’s condition. For now I should help him, right?I mean, it wasn’t any of my business if he was in heat or suffering from something else, but even then I can’t just ignore him. It was clear from where I stood that he was in extreme pain from resisting what his instincts wanted.But why was he resisting? I was certain that he had his pick of women around the castle to use to deal with his need.“Should I go get

    [Astasia’s POV]“Dammit,” I growl, looking around the hall around me. “Where the hell was it again?”I continue to search, looking for some form of familiarity that would indicate that I was near my room, but I come up empty.“Shit,” I sigh, realizing that I was in quite the predicament. “I should have just stayed put.”I should have, but I was annoyed by the fact Iravan was having someone hover around to babysit me. That’s why after Janice escorted me back to my room, I waited for her to leave to sneak out for a bit of fresh air. With luck, no one really paid me any mind because I was certain they were worried about offending Iravan. However, before I could even escape the castle, I found guards that I was certain wouldn’t let me pass.Even though I hated the idea of being stuck in my room once more, I turned around and decided to turn tail and go back. Well, that was the plan, but since I still wasn’t familiar with this large ass castle that Iravan was keeping me hostage in, I was o
