IRA'S POV

The first thing I noticed was the odd stares.

It was hard not to notice when I felt their odd gazes follow me around while I went through my duties. I didn't miss the whisperings, too.

Apparently, my little stunt at the coronation was still fresh in the hearts of my colleagues. I didn't let that bother me and instead sought out ways to meet Tamara while going about my duties.

All my efforts to get an audience with Tamara were fruitless, and a part of me wondered if it was a deliberate act on her part. Nevertheless, I went about my duties, deciding to find her as soon as work ended.

I stood in the kitchen, washing what felt like a truckload of dirty dishes when my roommate walked in with more utensils, ready for washing.

My fingers were soft and pale from the tedious task, and no matter how much I hand-washed the pile of dirty dishes, it only seemed to increase.

"Where are the plates?" she asked with an air of arrogance, and I gestured towards the storeroom, head bowed as I t

    DEXTERI stared at the obsidian orbs of my mate.There was only one word that came to mind.Perfect. So, so perfect, and mine.The air around us thickened as I stared at her, taking in the little contours of her little face. The beautiful blemishes and rosy lips.She was so beautiful, it felt unreal. My heart wavered at the sight of her. My sweet little precious.She was finally here, right in my arms. I thought I'd have to go to war with my brother to have her with me, but here she was, staring at me with widened eyes.A gift from the moon goddess."I'm sorry, sire," she gasped, trying and failing to get out of my arms, but I held on tight, letting the bond soothe the years of longing, waiting, and searching for her.I was never letting go. She was mine.Mine to keep, protect, and love. I stared at her like she was my world, and she was. One look at her, and my world seemed like it was finally coming together.Father's words returned to me. A silent whisper - When you find her, treas

    EROS POV"Where is she?!"My office door threw open and my brother breezed in with blazing eyes.I sat on my chair, unbothered. "What are you talking about?" I asked, feigning ignorance."You know exactly what I'm talking about, Eros," Dexter snapped. "Do not test me. Where is she?"I placed my pen on the table and slowly met his eyes. "I don't know," I stated, lying through my teeth. "Maybe if you try to explain, we'll take it up from there.""Ira," Dexter said. "Where is she? I got to her room and it was empty.""Ah," I said in a mocking tone. "You mean my maid?"I watched the veins in my brother's forehead pulse in anger."Your what?" His eyes dilated as he asked with a ferocious expression."You heard me," I corrected, relaxing on my chair. "You see, I've always told you, actions have consequences.""You might get to choose your actions, but you don't get to choose your consequences.""What did you do to her?" His tone was slow, dangerous, and heavy."Rest assured. She's fine," I

    IRAI stood in the servants' quarters with the court lady and other maidservants who gathered around the hallway."This is Ira," the court lady said. "She will be joining you all as a part of the king's palace maids."I felt the burning gazes of every single one of them as they assessed me."She is yet to discover her wolf," the court lady said, eliciting some snickers around."Would she ever?" a feminine voice said from the crowd, eliciting giggles.I wasn't fazed. It wasn't the first time I'd gotten roasted about my non-existent abilities.I'd taken it as a part of the life I chose to lead - a life I was currently not living as a result of my situation.Khanos, on the other hand, didn't appreciate their remarks. Never did.I felt her strong desire to claw out the throat of the one who dared to insult her person, but I pushed her down.I needed to get out of here before things got out of hand."Silence," the court lady said, restoring the calm. "Since we are short a few hands, she wi

    IRA'S POVI hated this room.It's been almost a week since I've been trapped here.Every single day, I felt my wolf grow stronger, and I hated it. It was getting difficult to keep Khanos in check without my herbs. This was the longest I'd gone without my herbs, which helped me maintain my powerless state.I couldn't stand being locked up in this room any longer. It didn't seem like it was going to end well for me if I remained here. Despite the fact I had everything I needed and was treated more like a guest than a prisoner, I needed to escape.The door flew open, and I didn't bother to look. I could bet it was one of the palace maids assigned to bring me food. Every day, I received sumptuous meals from the palace kitchen, and I was growing tired of them all.For the first time since I got caught, I looked forward to meeting Eros or Dexter once again. It felt like they had all forgotten I was still in here. That was the only explanation I could make up for their silence these past few

    EROS.It's been five days since I saw her.Five days since I got decent sleep. Every night, I stayed awake, fighting a losing battle. She was everywhere. In my dreams, in my mind, she was my every waking thought.My Erasthai.I hated how much she affected me. I despised how much she made me feel. I couldn't let her deceive me or my brother. Not again.Dexter hadn't returned home since our little tiff. Every day, I got news of his brutality with the pack warriors. Dexter was my beta, and the commander of our armed forces.He was also the strongest wolf I knew. Other than me, of course.I knew him well enough to know that he was staying away from the palace on purpose. It was all because of her. Our little fiery mate I'd placed in confinement.He couldn't stand it. I couldn't stand it either. My wolf was getting restless with every day I stayed away from her, trying to find something incriminating about her.I placed some men on her case, asking them to dig up everything they could find
