Shh, little wolf Nine
Kiara’s POV“So, when do we get down to the things I was supposed to take a look at here.” I asked Ivan over breakfast the next morning. I was the only one touching the real food; eggs and bacon with toast, even though I didn’t eat much. Ivan contended himself with a glass of warm red blood. I was at least grateful he had the decency to not take it from the source in front of me. For many reasons, I didn’t know how I would handle that. I know he’d heard me, we were seated too close together with him at the head and I at his immediate right, for him to not. Yet he ignored what I said, languidly sipping his blood. I rolled my eyes and picked at my food. The table was long enough to seat twenty but everywhere else was empty. Like it had been yesterday, there were several platters of food and with only two places set. I’d seen no one so far but the maid who had escorted me back here and even she had disappeared immediately after.Again, the unusual quiet unnerved me and I thought about
Shh, little wolf Ten
Kiara’s POVIvan had been behaving for the past hour which was entirely surprising considering how much he made it a point to get under my skin. Like he’d promised, I’d had a run in the woods and even though he’d watched me shift against my wishes, it had been wonderful. I felt more refreshed than I’d been in days. My wolf was relaxed enough that she didn’t even react at the closeness of Ivan’s body in the back seat of the car as we rode back towards his mansion. Okay, maybe she noticed a little bit, but at least I didn’t feel like physically combusting due to his presence. I considered that a phenomenal win. The car stopped in front of the mansion and his driver opened his door. He stepped out and held out a hand for me. Rolling my eyes, I ignored his hand and slipped past him, the chuckle he let out as I walked ahead reverberating down my spine. I pulled short when I heard voices at the entrance, turning to Ivan with wide eyes. He strode towards me, hands in pockets and bent till
Shh, little wolf Eleven
Kiara’s POV“So did he lock you up?” Caden asked from the other end of the face time. I shook my head. “I’m the one who didn’t want to go out. This place is crawling with vampires. I’m trying to do everything in my power to avoid them. I mean one of Ivan’s girlfriend’s almost attacked me the other day!” His eyes widened. “Almost attacked you? What happened?” I scoffed “Let’s just say my training paid off and I didn’t get jumped in my sleep.” Maybe I exaggerated a little bit, but everything else I was telling Caden was right on par. It was the evening of the next day and I had been bringing Caden up to speed on what had been happening here since I came. “Damn.” He muttered. “Yeah. It’s an absolute nightmare down here. And you should have seen them feeding on their victims. Those poor women.”“Were they humans or werewolves?”“Humans from what I could tell. So far, I seem to be the only wolf here.” That was another thing I worried about in light of Ivan’s threat. Wolves were social
Shh, little wolf Twelve
Kiara’s POVI was bored, idly scrolling through my phone as a result of it, when I heard a startling scream. It was loud and piercing, jarring enough to have me nearly drop my phone in surprise. After fumbling with and preventing my only connection to the outside world right now from toppling to its doom on the floor, I sat up near the edge of the bed, eyes narrowed at the now quiet air. I gave it another minute, but the mansion was silent as usual. I went back to my phone, opening a particularly funny meme from Caden that had me chuckling, before the screams came again. So high and filled with pain that I was out of my bed in seconds, the phone abandoned on my bed. I reached from the door and pulled it open to see Lucille standing there with a maid behind her, as if she’d been waiting to catch me right at that moment. I glared at her. She smiled back. “No need to worry about those pesky little screams.”She stalked passed me into my room without invitation, the maid following beh
Shh, little wolf Thirteen
Kiara’s POVIt was the middle of the night and my two─captors? Guard details? I didn’t even know what to call them─ were soundly asleep on the bed. I found it a bit surprising their lack of vigilance but I wasn’t one to look gift horses in the mouth so I didn’t question it. After making certain Lucille was deeply asleep, I opened the door as quietly as I could and snuck out. Unfortunately for me, the driver was standing in front of our door, as if keeping guard. I cursed silently and tried not to act suspicious. “Hey there.”“Sorry ma’am but you’re not allowed to leave the room.”“Aw really? I’m just really restless and could do with a run right now.”He frowned. “Yeah but the King doesn’t want you guys out of the room. Especially at nights.”I pouted. “It’s just a run. I swear it. Those Vamps in there can stand the idleness but I’m a werewolf. I was born for the moonlight.” There wasn’t a full moon out tonight, but this guy was human so I hoped he wouldn’t be too particular about
Shh, little wolf Fourteen
Kiara’s POVMy back was flat against the wall, arms pinned up above my head by a long, muscled hand that clamped firmly about my wrist. I glared up at Ivan, his gray eyes darkening with the silver strands of his salt and pepper hair falling all over his eyes. He was beautiful, a realization all over again that made my heart squeeze and my loins clench. “Let me go.” I gritted out without much heat. Instead, need curled deep in my belly, tightening when he chuckled lowly and licked my earlobe. A gasp rang out of me, then a moan when he pulled the tissue into his mouth and bit down lightly. “Ivan!” I said in a breathy moan, squirming under his hands even he pressed tighter against me. His breath tickled my earlobe, the warm sensation sending a trail of blazing heat down my spine. “You want me, don’t you?” He whispered hotly. I moaned in response, pressing my lower half against him and trying my best to rock. “You want me as much as I want you.” He breathed, running his free hand ove
Shh, little wolf Fifteen
Kiara’s POVIt had been five days since I was brought to the motel and I was frustrated. I was itching with the urge to go for a run, my wolf restless due to how long I’d had to keep her locked up. It was Ivan’s fault. He and his insistence to keep me on constant lockdown meant I’d had very little opportunity to stretch my human legs much less my wolf ones. Speaking of Ivan, I hadn’t even seen him since the day I’d had those incredibly vivid dreams. Lucille was being extremely tight-lipped about where he was or what he was doing. I couldn’t decide if it was because she was just a bitch or because he told her not to tell me, but I knew I didn’t like it. Lucille herself was often absent come to think of it. Especially at nights. The maid meanwhile was almost always attached to my side, especially during the day. She never let me out of her sight and had even attempted to follow me once to the bathroom. I had to draw a firm line there. It wasn’t like there was any window for me to ev
Shh, little wolf Sixteen
Kiara’s POVIn no time at all, we checked out of the motel, a new driver packing our many bags into the car. I saw no signs of Lucille or the maid but I didn’t ask, ecstatic at the thought that I was going to go home. I should have known it was just another one of Ivan’s many lies. After all, after refusing me at every turn, why would he give in to my demands all of a sudden? It was too easy and it should have raised my suspicion but I was too happy. Even though my father had betrayed me I still missed him. I missed my mom. I missed being around my pack. I missed that idiot, Caden. So it was why I was so eager and excited, eyes rapt on the window to watch our progression to my beloved home as the car pulled out of the motel. It wasn’t until the car turned towards the opposite direction that I began to question my naivete. Confused, I turned to Ivan, my puzzlement turning into disbelief and then anger at the sight of Ivan’s smirk. It was only then that I knew I’d been played. That h
