Shh, little wolf Seventeen
Kiara’s POVIt took a few tries to peel myself out of her grasp. She chuckled, as if my desperate attempts to get her off me were something cute. “What’s the matter, sweetheart?” She said and I backed away from her. A frown furrowed my brows as I noticed how eerily silent and almost deserted the kitchen now was. I left her standing there and smiling at me quite creepily. I couldn’t believe that had happened. Vampires had no concept of personal space or any sort of propriety at all. She probably just wanted to stick her fangs in me. They were all so damn weird and annoying. Snorting in disbelief, I went through the dark hallways not realizing until the smell of him suddenly sharpened that I was walking towards Ivan’s office. Even subconsciously I went to him, the persistent line of the mate bond drawing us forever close. Forever was a long time to be bonded to a vampire. I shivered at the thought. I reached his study soon enough, at once pleased and irritated with how well I was co
Shh, little wolf Eighteen
Kiara’s POVI stayed in my room sulking the rest of the night and late into the morning. By mid-morning, I was more than a little bit restless. Not only did my wolf want to shift, I myself needed to stretch my legs desperately. I restrained myself though, mostly because I didn’t want to end up going to find Ivan. It was hard enough staying put as it was. If I got out I would surely follow his scent so I could end up wherever it was he was. Considering how I’d found him the last time, I’d pretty much rather die than to do such a thing ever again. He still hadn’t come to look for me and even though I didn’t actually want to see him, it hurt that he hadn’t even tried. Did that bastard even give a shit about me at all? Nearly fucking Lucille on the very same desk he’d seduced me on! And not even acting the least bit apologetic about it after I caught them. Another hour later, I sat up, inclining my head thoughtfully as I sniffed the air. I didn’t smell him as strongly as he had been e
Shh, little wolf Nineteen
Kiara’s POVI roamed aimlessly about the mansion after leaving Ivan in dining, not wanting to return to the claustrophobic feel of my room. Along the way, I met that creepy older woman from the kitchens who had nearly hugged me to death the first time I met her. She hovered outside the door she’d been about to open and waited for me to reach her. I groaned internally at the expectant grin on her face and nearly went back the way I came. Stifling a sigh, I grudgingly walked up to where she was. “Going anywhere in particular? Or just wandering around?”I sniffed. “I don’t really see how either is any of your business.” To my surprise, she didn’t take offense. Merely chuckled in that warm way of hers. “My you have spunk. Ivy must be so frustrated.”I rolled my eyes and started to move on from her when I smelled Ivan more strongly than I had a moment before. I turned to see him steadily approaching us. I cursed under my breath, at once both secretly pleased as well as annoyed that he’d
Shh, little wolf Twenty
Ivan’s POVI watched Kiara go with an exasperated sigh, knowing better than to run after her. “Let her be.” Lilith said beside me, echoing my thoughts. “She looks like she needs some space to work out all those conflicting emotions.”I ran a hand over my face “Yeah. The problem is, I don’t know how much longer I could wait.” Even now, there was a strong urge to get up and go to her. To touch her. To have her. It was like an unbreakable thread held us together and there was nothing I could do about it. “Well you’ll have to find it in yourself to. She may not know how important she is to our kingdom yet but you do. It is dangerous for her to be here. For you as well.”I ran my hand through my hair, frustration coloring my every movement. “I know the danger but I have to keep her here, don’t I?” I sighed again “It’s one of the reasons she hates me. You heard her. She doesn’t want to be here. She wants to go back to her pack.”“Mmm. She might desire her pack, but she desires you as wel
Shh, little wolf Twenty-One
Kiara’s POVI wasn’t surprised there was a library in this giant house. I was surprised however, that it took me this long to find it. I’d stumbled over the ornate double doors quite by accident, while boredly strolling through the halls on a half-hearted sightseeing. I took one glance at the rows of books arranged all around me and never left. Hours later, I was still there, pouring over my latest interest, open books everywhere on the floor around me. Funny enough, I’d never really been a fan of reading, but concentrating very hard on the words of the pages kept me from thinking of, or worse, going to look for Ivan. It was enough to keep me dedicated till now. Footsteps pried my attention from the book about animals and I looked up to see Archer walk in. Ignoring him, I returned my attention back to my book. “You know…” He started but I didn’t bother to look back up. That didn’t seem to deter him one bit. “… I thought you were someone who wouldn’t stop at anything to get what sh
Shh, little wolf Twenty-Two
Kiara’s POVI turned quickly, my shock turning to anger. I glared at his smile, wondering how he could be so blase after torturing a wolf like that. “What the hell was that Ivan?”He raised a brow as if he had not the faintest idea what I was talking about. “Why were you torturing that wolf?” I asked more directly, since he wanted to play coy. He smiled at me. “Why were you spying on me?”I scowled even though a flush appeared on my cheeks. “That’s not the point! You were torturing that man! Why? Hell, what’s a wolf even doing in your territory?” I asked, thinking out loud. His face tightened, his smile disappearing. “You shouldn’t be here Kiara. Go back to your room.”I glared at him. “I’m not a damn kid you can ground whenever I get inconvenient. What the hell is happening here?”“That’s on a need to know basis and you don’t need to know.”“Of course I do. And I’m not going anywhere until I get my answers.” He gritted his teeth. “It’s none of your business Kiara. Drop it.”I bar
Shh, little wolf Twenty-Three
Kiara’s POV I sat across from Ivan at the table the next morning over breakfast. A stony silence hung between us. We were alone in the large dining room but we faced our collective plates ignoring each other. I was still upset with the stunt he’d pulled on me last night. He’d left me alone like that too and I’d only managed to escape by shifting, thus ruining his Egyptian thread-count sheets. He’d been pissed at me but I was equally enraged with him so we’d ended up cursing each other out and going to our separate rooms. This morning, when the maid called me for breakfast, I’d scrambled to follow, not wanting any excuse to have him put me in that position again anytime soon. I wondered why he bothered though because sinc
Shh, little wolf Twenty-Four
Kiara’s POV I was in the library when Ivan came back. He stormed into the place, a stony expression on his face. “Get up. We’re going out.” He said curtly. I frowned at his lack of courtesy or even simple politeness. “No. You’re not the boss of me Ivan. You don’t get to just walk in here and tell me what to do.” He sighed deeply and closed his eyes, running his fingers over his temples as if I was giving him a headache. “Do not test me right now Kiara. I don’t have the patience for it.” I rolled my eyes. “I wasn’t asking for any patience. I asked you to leave me the hell alone.” He glared at me for a moment, before containing
