KIRA “Is your mate always so spiteful?” Kira demanded Taron. “And I am done,” she added to the woman who was waiting by her. The woman hurried forward and cleared the plate for Kira, and disappeared behind a door. “I think she is insecure,” Taron sighed heavily. “I have always paid attention to her, and only her. But now you are here, and you are more important!” “I am more important than your mate?” Kira asked with shocked expression. “You do understand the meaning of mate? Right?” she mocked. “I think I know more about mates than you do,” Taron grinned. “So, mate is your wife or husband?” Kira asked. “We don’t marry per se,” Taron informed, “some of us do ‘marry’ to celebrate and cherish, but most of our kind don’t. A wolf has only one mate, one and only…” “And you are loyal to your mate, even if you don’t marry,” Kira enquired. "As if married people are always faithful," Taron rolled his eyes."You know what I mean," Kira insisted.“Mostly yes, like Yana told you, minds like
DIMITRI ‘Oh, this girl is going to drive me crazy,’ Dimitri thought furiously as he ramped down the stairs and went to his bedroom. Of course, Tamara and one more girl were waiting for him. “Now who are you?” Dimitri asked as he walked up to the girls. “Rizzoli, my lord,” the girl bowed humbly. ‘Now why could Kira not be this obedient?’ Dimitri thought angrily as Tamara started to undress. “You too,” Dimitri ordered Rizzoli, and slowly, very dramatically, she started to take off her clothes. “That’s better,” Dimitri huffed as both girls stood stark naked in front of him. ‘How would Kira look like without any clothes,’ his thoughts wandered off again to her. He had seen her partially naked, when she was covered with nothing but that flimsy overall at the Hew. The memory of her so broken and confused infuriated him. He could not believe that the same girl , the one he had rescued from the Hew had just pushed him back when he had kissed her. And not to mention, she was the first gir
KIRA Kira stayed in the house for the next few days but did not encounter Dimitri at all. While Taron and Yana kept her company alternately, Kira was not asked to follow the rules of the La Gualias clan. She ate whenever she wanted to, she slept whenever she wanted to, and did whatever she felt like Kindest explanation to this exception was that she was not yet a wolf. She was still a human and as per the rules of the house, only wolves were to follow the rules of the clan. But deep down Kira knew Dimitri was keeping her at bay. Their interaction at the rooftop did not go that well, and Dimitri did not want to look weak or rejected in front of his pack. In the days that followed the kissing incidence, Kira ventured around the whole house, strolling to the deepest and darkest corners as well. And secretly, she was mapping it all out. Taron, who once saw her drawing a mini map in her diary – which she was carrying everywhere when she roamed around the house – asked her about it. “Wha
KIRA Another week passed without any interaction with Dimitri. And though her logical side was pleased with this arrangement, her illogical side, the one that had feeling attached to it, especially the feelings that often tingled in between her legs, missed him. Kira, who indulged in food, now befriended support staff of the house. Early on, when Kira had first walked in the kitchens, many staff members did seem to be having a heart attack. But as Kira frequented the kitchens security rooms, and all other out of bound places, staff members seemed to accept her presence. She was often seen in the kitchen that had served her first meal. Though she avoided it when Dimitri was in the dining room for his meal – the staff was exceptionally itchy at that time – she was there at many other times. She knew the cooks so well now that she was now asking for her favorite meals too. Early on, she had no preferences because
KIRA“So, don’t run away next time,” Kira muttered as she looked down and noticed that she was walking with the rope still around her waist. She quickly undid it and dropped it on the floor. One of the security guards picked it up and secured the rope and belt.“Oops, sorry,” Kira apologized to the security guard as she saw him pick up the belt. “I should not have thrown it. My apologies,” she added. The guard looked perplexed but just nodded and walked away.“I have never seen this guy before,” Kira muttered as she walked with Taron. “New hire?” she asked.“Nooo idea!” Taron spoke thoughtfully.“You don’t know if any security is new hire or what?” Kira demanded.“Have better things to do than indulge in staff,” Taron muttered as he checked his messages. “Boss wants to see me, by th
KIRA & DIMITRI Silence… shocked silence echoed in the room as Kira registered Dimitri’s words. “Is it why you are befriending everyone from cooks to security? You want to cripple my home from the inside?” Dimitri asked as he snuggled Kira’s body against his. “What is your plan, Kira Whitaker Brown? What do you want from me?” and despite himself, Dimitri felt himself getting turned on. She was a sworn enemy to his clan, to his house, to his entire family since generations, and yet, Dimitri felt drawn to her like a moth to a flame. “I –” Kira started to speak, but Dimitri, without even knowing what he was doing, he raised his hand and caressed her face. His touch rose sparks in Kira’s body and she felt it arch towards him. As his gold eyes burned into her green, she saw Dimitri lean forward. “We must talk first, isn’t it?” Kira spoke suddenly, placing her hand on his chest. Dimitri had suddenly forgotten what was so important that he had stepped out of his study to find her himsel
KIRA & DIMITRIDimitri laughed for a long time, while Kira stared at him with stunned expressions.“This is not funny,” Kira snapped as she stood up. And only when she was standing she saw a few people were peering at them. “And your people are staring at us, I am guessing it is because you are laughing!”These words erased Dimitri’s laugh. He sat up, composed himself and stood up too. Indeed, people were staring at them.He waved his hand and dismissed all. With smiles and sheepish looks, people disappeared, though Kira was aware that some were still watching.“Did you know we were being watched?” Kira asked skeptically.“I never truly alone until I am in my bedroom,” Dimitri huffed as he sat back down. “But I think sitting here, I am not that easily visible!”“So, you did all that,” Kira poi
KIRAHuffing and puffing, Kira walked down the stairs, straight to her room. How dare he! How could he!There was so much on her mind, and so much on her body. She could still feel Dimitri’s lips on her throat, his hand on her legs, on her waist. They had just shared such a special moment, but he had to act so adamant and arrogant. He had to insult her! And why? Just because she refused to kiss him. Just because she refused to give into him. And why should she give into him? Or kiss a mobster? Alright, he was incredibly handsome, charming and whatnot, and yes, she was incredibly attracted to him, but that mouth has kissed so many other random women! Who knows who had kissed that morning itself… Ew! She shivered at the thought.“Whitaker!” Kira repeated as she jumped on her bed and thought aloud. She had never paid much attention to her middle name. “Why would mother give me the name of the man who rap
