IRA'S POV

I didn't expect it to hurt so bad.

Dexter stopped in his tracks as soon as I stopped, struggling to catch my breath.

My legs felt like they were on fire, and my joints couldn't bear to carry my body any longer.

I didn't realize I was so out of shape.

"We are barely around the first lap," Dexter said, stopping a few meters ahead of me. "We still have three laps before our training begins."

My eyes bogged out of their sockets. "Did you just say before our training b-begins?" I wheezed, taking deep chunks of breath.

"There is still something after this?" I asked again in an incredulous tone.

A tint of a smile graced Dexter's lips at my words. "You will get used to it in time, mate," he said, causing the bond between us to flare. "But for now, we need to move."

I hated how my body seemed to react around him. "I'm not training to be a warrior or anything, Dexter," I stated, preparing to continue.

"Keep this up and I might drop dead before we get to the actual training," I muttere

  • Claiming Our Runaway Lycan Queen    46 - You're such a bad liar

    IRAMy heart skipped at Eros' endearment, and right there and then, something shifted between us.A bond. One I never believed I'd feel towards Eros. Trust.The twins stared at me, waiting for my decision. Right there and then, I knew it. I knew that if I said no, it would be fine. No judgments, no questions asked.For the first time ever, I truly believed they were both on my side. No power imbalance, no angst, just an even balance between us.The surreal feeling of genuine acceptance and solidarity filled me with an equal measure of reassurance and guilt. The bond blossomed in my chest, creating a three-way connection that felt so real I could taste it on my tongue."Yes," I croaked, breaking the silence. "Tell me what I need to do."Dexter's eyes remained on me as Eros went through the game plan."You will stay in this house all through the duration of the preparation and tournament," he started. "Until everything is settled

    IRAWhatever sense of peace I had was flushed down the toilet as I watched life leave the young lady before me.My heart pounded in my chest, and I felt heavy as I stared at the now limp body on the floor."They want me," I said, breathing hard. "They wanted me," I muttered again, feeling my blood race. "Whatever compelled her did that to her to get to me."Dexter held my hand, not saying a word. He agreed. He knew I was right. The stiff silence in the air was proof.I couldn't stay here any longer.My hands trembled, and I suddenly returned to that little girl in the woods. My mother's words rang strongly in my head - a firm reminder of the reason I needed to get out of here.Run away, Ira...Don't let them find you...Hide Khanos...My head hurt from the amount of thoughts that ran through it by the second. Adrenaline flooded my system, bringing a strong need to flee and get out of this place before they found m

  • Claiming Our Runaway Lycan Queen    44 - Who sent you?

    EROSMy wolf raged within me as I waited for her.Our mate.It's been three days. Three days since I saw her making out with Dexter. Three days of constant torture from my wolf.He wanted to see her. He wanted to mate with her. He wanted to have her with him at all times. It was insane just how obsessed and hard to control my wolf was becoming since Ira's disappearance.As though it wasn't already difficult controlling my hybrid wolf.I stood at the curtains of the Alpha's house built in the Academy, looking through the window for signs of their coming.I discharged Elias for the day and finished my business with Elder Nightingale, who somehow failed to acquire fresh DNA from Ira as we earlier discussed.I hoped we could catch a glimpse of just what it was about her that made me feel off, but there was no such thing. Somehow, Ira managed to escape the clinic, evading the process.A part of me wondered if it was all a coi

    IRAI stepped out of the classroom, brimming with anger.Jules' words played in my head like a never-ending loop.He's mine...I heard her words over and over again, driving me to the pinnacle of insanity. I trudged out of the classroom building, ready to call it a day, and brimming from the amount of anger that bred within me as I tried to analyze her interaction with Dexter from before.Dexter didn't seem to care about her. That bit was clear with how he interacted with her. However, I couldn't trust that there was nothing between them.The thought of having Dexter, or Eros, being involved with anyone else brought a sore taste to my mouth. My entire body revolted against it.It felt all shades of wrong. Absolutely and entirely wrong.My nose was assaulted by the scent of my mate as soon as I stepped onto the streets. So much so, my body tingled and a ghost of the mate pull ran through my system, leaving me almost breathless.

  • Claiming Our Runaway Lycan Queen    42 - Am I clear, Miss Clawmark?

    IRAI found myself a seat at the back of the class and watched the students file in while I waited for the class to begin.I couldn't stop thinking about Dexter. My skin buzzed from the mate bond, and I could still feel his lips on mine.For a brief moment, I let myself check in with Khanos, but there was no signal. However, with Dexter's sudden appearance, I felt such a wholesome feeling from within, I couldn't pinpoint where it was coming from."Welcome back to the Academy," the history teacher said, snapping me out of my reverie."I apologise for the last-minute change of venue, but I assure you that you will get your time's worth in the knowledge I will be sharing today."I sat at the back of the class, still reeling from the kiss with Dexter, when the history teacher began his introduction."I am Mr Salvador," he started, "your History guide for the rest of this semester.""Before we begin our work for today, I see that we

  • Claiming Our Runaway Lycan Queen    41 - What do you mean?

    DEXTER"Mine," my wolf breathed within me as I stared into the eyes of our mate."Dexter..." She was breathtaking, her lips slightly parted and inviting.It's been so long. Every moment without her chipped at my sanity.I leaned into our mate, taking her lips in a chaste kiss, groaning in satisfaction as the bond roared alive, sending a wave of chemistry between us.A low growl escaped my throat as she placed her hand over my head, deepening the kiss. She took the breath out of me.The past three days were torture. I couldn't stop thinking about her. I regretted leaving her behind as soon as I hit the roads. I wanted her to myself. I wanted to be with her in every way possible.But I needed to set some things in place, as well as have a conversation with my brother. A conversation I believed would form our relationship moving forward.Ira broke from the kiss, taking a breath of air as she stared me in the eyes. "You left."
