13 - Get out

last update Last Updated: 2025-07-23 13:52:06

IRA'S POV

He's crazy.

There's no other explanation for his obtuse demands.

Dexter had to be crazy to think I was going to strip while he was right here, watching me, and waiting.

"What?" I asked in a soft tone, making sure he heard the incredulity in my tone.

"The bath will get cold," Dexter said with such softness, I felt my heart go soft. "You should go in now."

I shook off the odd sensation. I couldn't be confused. It was all the mate bond. The earlier I got out of here, the better.

"I'm sorry, sir-" I started, hoping to make some sense to him.

"Dexter," he corrected. "You are my mate. We are equals."

No, we're not. Not if I was disappearing soon.

"I can't take off my clothes," I said after what felt like an hour.

Dexter's brows narrowed. "Why? Are you hurt somewhere?" He stepped closer with a look of pure concern. "Did they touch you?"

A grave look grew on his face, and I quickly disputed his words.

"No!" I said, putting some space between us, "I am fine! I just don't want to do i

    EROS POVMy gaze burned through my phone as I tried once again to reach Dexter.After the ruckus he'd caused with Elias, he stormed off my house and disappeared to God knows where while I cleaned up the mess.Per usual.Elias Thorne was currently thinking of his actions and threats in a holding cell underneath the palace grounds.The last thing I wanted was to make him think he had some sort of privilege because his father was on the council.I'd gladly show him what happens to someone foolish enough to threaten my mate in my presence - knowingly or unknowingly."Alpha, there's been an attack." One of the guards appeared before me with an anxious look."Speak.""The servants' quarters," he said. "They found a body in the servants' quarters."I froze in my steps, rage building within me. "What?""The guards traced some intruders to the servants' quarters," he explained. "While searching the place, a body showed up."My breathing changed, and my eyes turned a permanent shade of red.

    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, treasu

  • Claiming Our Runaway Lycan Queen    11 - There you are

    IRA'S POVThe 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 th

  • Claiming Our Runaway Lycan Queen    10 - I give you my word

    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 s

    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 wil
