Kiara’s POV

Two hours later, Ivan had still not returned. My phone died shortly after he left and though there was power, my bags had yet to be brought up so I couldn’t plug it back on. I was bored but not enough to risk wandering outside the room at this time of the night when there were Vampires crawling all over this place.

To make matters worse, I hadn’t eaten anything since breakfast this morning. As a result, I was famished.

Trust Ivan to be so inhospitable. Leaving me without food and locking me alone for two hours! I scoffed. Did he even have normal food in this place? Or did he get by on the blood of innocents and expect us all to do the same?

I twiddled my thumbs for another hour before I could no longer tolerate the wait. How busy was he that he couldn’t at least check to make sure I had everything I needed. Like my fucking bags, especially when he’d all but barred me from coming out.

Hopping from the bed, I went to the door, opening it, and creeping out into the hallwa

    Kiara’s POVI went to find my father immediately after his meeting with Ivan was over, not just curious, but anxious to find out what consensus had been reached. He didn’t seem surprised to see me, only letting out an exasperated sigh and gesturing for me to take a seat on the other side of his desk.“Well?” I said even before my ass had touched the chair. “What did you guys decide?”My father shrugged. “That he’ll return back to his manor and you’ll remain here with your family until such a time when you are interested in being with your mate.”I paused, my eyes bugging wide, disbelief coloring every inch of my features.“I’m sorry, what?” I said, shocked that such a thing was even possible. My father gave me a deadpan look.“You’re serious? Ivan really left like that?”I asked with a frown. I’d never known dad to be anything but concerning official affairs, but the thing he just said was so at odds with what I knew about the Vampire King that I immediately suspected foul play. Dad s

    Ivan’s POVI stared coolly at Damien and the man stared back. Kiara hovered a few steps away from us, glancing nervously between us both.We were in his immaculately furnished study, having been summoned there by a maid after we had the refreshments Amelia provided. I respected their willingness to at least feed us before engaging in this confrontation. It would have sucked to do this with a headache caused by blood starvation.“Kiara. Leave us.” Damien rumbled lowly and predictably enough, she tried to argue with him, only cutting off when he sent her a glare.I chuckled, glad to see she wasn’t this combative with me alone and watched her with an amused, if slightly hungry gaze as she left the room. I was aware that Damien was watching me watch his daughter, but after missing her for more than forty eight hours, it was hard to let her out of my sight.I hadn’t expected her to give up on witnessing the discussion I was about to have with her father so easily but I needn’t have bothere

    Kiara’s POVI scarfed down my food, barely managing to chew it completely before swallowing and stuffing my mouth with the next morsel. Conversation flowed around me but I ignored it all in favor of stuffing my mouth full with pasta and some heavenly meatballs.“Kiara come on. You’ll choke on that. You have got to slow down.”I slurped on the last of the spaghetti strands in my mouth and swallowed most of it before attempting to speak.“I wasn’t able to catch dinner last night.” I sent my mom a pointed look from across the table where she sat “Somebody held me up last night.”Mom primly dabbed at the corner of her mouth with a napkin.“Yes, it’s not because you went out for a two hour run and missed dinner is it?”She snarked back in such a haughty tone that I rolled my eyes. Deciding that I was too hungry to push the issue, I refocused my attention on my plate and kept leveling it down.Everyone was at the dining table, including my dad, Caden’s dad and both our moms. There were even

    Kiara’s POVThere was someone in my room and it wasn’t any of the wolves I lived with. I lay completely still, keeping my eyes tightly shut and trying to make sure my breathing remained even.It was night time and everyone in the manor was fast asleep. Except for the intruder. And now me.I tried to think quickly of what I could do to get out of this potentially dangerous situation. My dagger was all the way over on the table at the far end of the room and I silently cursed myself for being so careless with my weapon when I was expecting something like this to happen.The person crept to my bed without making so much as a sound. I felt rather than heard the presence hovering above me. I waited, holding my breath until he came close enough and then I sprung into action.Pulling his hand, I dragged him down to the bed and flipped him before he hit the mattress so that he landed on his back with a grunt. In another moment, my hand was around his throat and I squeezed tightly, ignoring his

    Kiara’s POV“Kiara? Kiara! Wake up!” I heard from deep within my slumber. I groaned and rolled over, not wanting to stop the Ivan filled dream I was having.I’d barely resettled into position when my warm duvet was suddenly ripped off my body.“Kiara Hudson! You get out of that bed this instant!” My mom yelling right over me was the last straw. The pleasant dream I’d been having disappeared in a flash as I was pulled back into the reality of wakefulness.“Mom. Come on. Five more minutes.” I whined much liked Caden had with me just yesterday. Unlike me however, my mom was not so benevolent.“No. Get your lazy behind up and get ready so we can go out.”“If you’re trying to rope me into another shopping trip you can forget it. I need to sleep.”I groaned and felt around my feet for the duvet, keeping my eyes closed in an attempt to trick my brain into falling back asleep.My mother smacked my hands away.“Ow!” I whined, eyes flying open to glare at her.She raised a brow “It wasn’t a requ

    Kiara’s POV“Savez, come on. Keep your hands high enough so you can parry his thrust and block. Otherwise you’ll end up with a slit throat before we’re done here!”I yelled at one of the sparring groups currently battling fiercely on the training ground.The man in question did as I asked, holding his sword a bit higher and parrying his opponent’s next jab way more fluidly.“Good.” I grunted, moving past their group to the next.This pair were clearly still a bit green about the ears. It was clear from the way the awkwardly held their swords, as if it was too big for them. It made their knife clanging lack any power, force or even proper direction.I stepped up to them amused.“Grip it firmly, don’t clutch it like that.” I said helping one of the boys fix his fingers properly.The other mirrored the new position while the one I’d physically corrected flushed bright red. He looked shyly at me from under his lashes and I snorted. He could barely hold his sword up. What made him think he
