Shh, little wolf Seven
Kiara’s POVTwo 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
Shh, little wolf Eight
Ivan’s POVI shook my head at the man’s hapless scream, the jarring sound searing straight to my skull and making it ring. I could feel a heading coming on, precipitated by my hunger. I needed to feed as soon as possible. It had been far too long since I had my last meal. It may only be twenty four hours but I can’t remember the last time I went without blood for even two. I nodded at Archer, my second of sorts and he stepped forward, placing the hot iron rod over the man’s thighs. He screamed again, voice hoarse from hours of misuse and struggled against the ropes that tied him tightly to the chair. I rolled my eyes at his screams and stalked up to him. Gripping his short chop of stringy hair, I yanked his head back glaring down at him.“Stop that fucking whining before I really hurt you!” I hissed. He sobbed but clamped down on his screaming, making pathetic little noises like some wounded rodent. I shoved his head away in disgust. “Please!” He rasped, practically hyperventilating
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
