Adrian’s POV

The courtyard was alive with restless energy when I stormed out…over twenty warriors already shifted or mid-shift, massive wolves pacing in tight circles, ears pricked, hackles half-raised. No armor, no swords, no horses. We didn’t need them. Claws, teeth, speed, and raw pack fury were more than enough.

I spotted Thomas near the front gate, directing a line of trackers who were nose-to-ground, memorizing Kira’s scent from the robe she’d worn yesterday.

“Thomas,” I barked, voice cutting through the low growls. “Change of plans. King Ariston and his family leave today. Full royal escort…ten of our fastest runners should accompany them. Also, make arrangements for gifts that scream gratitude. Gold bars, winter pelts, those jeweled daggers from the vault, and every cask of northern honey wine we’ve got left. Make it generous. Make it obvious. I want every border patrol from here to his kingdom talking about how well I treated my in-laws.”

  • TOO WILD TO TAME   A Strand of the King

    Kira’s POV“How will you reset it, Liana?” I repeated.She leaned in, voice hushed. “I need a strand of the king’s hair. For the cleansing ritual.”I blinked, totally caught off guard. “Since when do you do rituals?”She laughed awkwardly, glancing away. “It’s not me doing it. I’d take it to a sorceress in the valley.”“Oh, so there are sorceresses here too?” I said, raising an eyebrow. “What next…dragons? Fairies? Sparkly monsters?”Liana gave me a look. “This isn’t a children’s book, Princess. It’s real life. Real situations.”“Yeah right,” I muttered, “real life where people turn into wolves, vampires walk freely and people perform rituals. Totally normal, not like a blockbuster movie at all.”She ignored the sarcasm. Or maybe she didn't understand it. “So, yeah…just a strand of his hair, princess. That’s all. The sorceress can reverse the process that started with the first…tainting. But don’t let it happen again. Are you still in heat?”“You mean still horny?” I asked bluntly.Sh

  • TOO WILD TO TAME   Tainted Heat

    Kira’s POVI stood there, staring Victoria down, my heart pounding like it was trying to break out of my chest. She was still on the floor, cradling her cheek, that mix of fear and hate in her eyes making me feel a twisted kind of satisfaction. Good. Let her squirm. After all the crap she’d pulled on the real Abby, she deserved way worse.But I couldn’t stand there gloating forever. I stank…like dirt, river water, sweat, and yeah, sex. Adrian’s scent was probably baked into my skin by now, and the thought made my stomach churn. I needed to scrub it all off before I could even think straight about escaping this frozen hellhole.“Wait here,” I snapped at Victoria, pointing a finger at her like she was a dog I expected to stay. “Don’t move a muscle until I say so.”She opened her mouth, probably to whine or snap back, but I was already turning away, heading for the bathroom attached to this ridiculously beautiful royal suite. I paused at the door and glanced back. “You better think of

  • TOO WILD TO TAME   I Need To Leave

    Kira’s POVThe headline stared back at me like a slap in the face: "Summer's Group Mourns Tragic Loss: CEO Kira Summers Killed Dies Tragically on Her Birthday – Remains to Be Laid to Rest on July 21st."Tragically? My ass. They killed me. Straight-up murdered me and think they can just sweep it under the rug with some fake story and a pretty obituary. I could picture it…the boardroom vultures toasting with champagne, dividing up my mother’s empire like it was cake at a party. My hands shook as I scrolled down, and there it was…my picture, smiling confidently in a power suit from last year's gala, right next to the article. Tears welled up hot and fast, blurring the screen. They killed my mother years ago, made it look like an overdose or whatever bullshit they spun, and now they've done the same to me. Do they really think they can get away with it that easily? Erase us like we were nothing?I slammed my fist against my thigh, the phone nearly slipping from my grip. And it's all bec

  • TOO WILD TO TAME   The New Maid

    Kira’s POVWe made it to the royal wing in record time.Adrian kicked the door open with his boot like he was storming a battlefield. Victoria trailed behind us, her footsteps hesitant and quiet, like she was trying to blend into the wallpaper. He didn't say a word the whole way despite my protests, just marched on while I dangled over his shoulder, my face hot from the blood rush and the sheer embarrassment of it all.Finally, he set me down on the plush rug in the middle of the room, gentle enough that I didn't stumble, but firm like he was planting a flag. I straightened up immediately, smoothing my dress and glaring daggers at him."What the hell was that?" I snapped, hands on my hips. "You think after one quick screw in the woods, I suddenly belong to you? Parading me around like some trophy in front of the whole town, saying all that possessive crap publicly? And don't get me started on the wrong message you're sending to your baby mama…she's the one you should be listening to,

  • TOO WILD TO TAME   The Price of Lying

    Kira’s POV The courtyard was still buzzing like a kicked beehive, council members muttering, Caroline sniffling dramatically on the ground, Lady Margaret pretending to look concerned while mentally sharpening her knives, when my eyes locked on the one person who could make this circus even better.There she was, slinking out from the palace doors like a whipped puppy. Shoulders hunched, head down, eyes glued to the stones as if she hoped the ground would swallow her whole.My dear sweet Victoria.Oh, honey. Jackpot. If she hadn’t opened her lying mouth and sent me into that cursed Dark Zone, maybe I wouldn’t have been possessed by whatever it was back there like a feral cat, maybe I wouldn’t have climbed Adrian like a tree, and maybe…just maybe…I wouldn’t currently feel like I needed a ten-hour shower and a priest to get Adrian’s scent off me.She was going to pay. Slowly. Deliciously. With interest.I lifted one hand and crooked a finger at her, slow and lazy, like I was calling a

  • TOO WILD TO TAME   Courtyard Accusation

    Kira’s POVI was in no way ready for the scene in front of us.The gates creaked open like they were announcing the season finale of the trashiest reality show ever, and there it was pure chaos on full display.Caroline…Adrian’s mistress was for some reason flat on her back in the middle of the courtyard, dress hiked up, hair looking like she’d been dragged through a hedge backwards. In her arms was a screaming little boy, kicking and howling like someone had stolen his candy and his puppy at the same time.A full audience had already assembled. Council elders in their fancy attires, guards pretending they weren’t loving every second, servants peeking from doorways, and…of course…Lady Margaret front-row center, arms folded, lips pursed in that signature “I smell scandal and I’m here for it” expression.The moment we stepped through the gates, Adrian moved. Not dramatically…just half a step forward, placing his body slightly in front of mine. Not shielding me like I was fragile, but li
