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
KIRAKira sat rooted on her bed for a long time, staring at the blank phone screen. So, she was not a rape child, and if – if her mother was carving her father’s name in the ice, then it means that she loved him, and missed him. Then why did she run away from him? Did she find out that her father was a werewolf? Or did he hide the fact that he was a mafia lord who ruled over entire Eastern European zone?Her head was buzzing with this information, and it felt like she was going to vomit, but a knock on the door brought her back to her sense.“Who is it?” Kira groaned.“It’s Taron,” Taron’s voice was soft and cautious. “Open up, will you?”Kira jumped out of the bed and opened the door only slightly.“I am here for Yana’s laptop,” Taron spoke hesitantly.“But I am not done ye
KIRAKira spent the next few hours cooped up in her room with her new laptop. She was impressed by the laptop, it was a very high end, and high speed laptop and wondered why did Taron even have a spare one lying around like this?‘Anyway, not my place,’ Kira shrugged as she searched the first name that was so frequently popping in her head.Dimitri La GualiasAt once, his face popped up on her screen.“Oh my!” Kira spoke out loud as she felt a huge sensation surge up and down her body at his photo. It was not any sensual photo, it was a simple, professional, candid image of him sitting in an office in white shirt, and grey-ish suit. He was not even smiling in this photo, just staring intently at the person clicking his photo. And yet, Kira found her mouth watering at his image.Exhaling loudly to eradicate her thoughts of all the sedu
