LOGINKYRA "Go on," Zyran urged, "We don't want the food to get cold, and besides, I love the sounds you are making with your mouth. So continue.""I... uh... I'm full your Majesty, thank you for the meal.""Eat omega," he ordered without looking at me, but I swear the temperature in the dining room dropped."Eat.." Susan whimpered, staring at me nervously, "Please don't put us at the risk of his anger. Did you see the golden hue in his eyes just now?""No, I didn't see." I murmured back, picking up my spoon."I don't care, just eat!!" Susan yelled in a half whisperI glanced around and caught sight of Eve glaring at me with so much hate."So," Eve started sweetly, "about the hunting festival. I know it's going to be me, but can you say—"Zyran raised a finger up, cutting Eve short. "Decorum at the table. We're eating.""But you're done, so is almost everyone at the table. We're all just eager for you to make your choice.""The omega is eating," He answered with a tone of finality, sparin
KYRA I sat in the training room, along with the other ladies, waiting for the warden.She's never been late. Even when she's not taking the class, she is always here to watch us like an eagle. "Ladies!" The warden clapped her hands, "There's going to be a competition today." The warden grinned, taking her place on the podium, "The winner gets to win dinner with the King."A personal time away from prying eyes and ears? I have to win this.Then maybe I'd just suggest that we skip the dinner and just hang out in his office. That way, I'd scope out his office and find ways to break in later."That's not all," the warden continued, "To make things fair, there'll be no training today. Everyone gets to eat lunch with the King, and if he's pleased with any of you, you get to be his addition to the hunting festival."I raised my hand. "Yes, Miss Kyra?" The warden raised an eyebrow, irritation lacing her voice, "We'd love your input.""How long is the hunting festival? And also with the Kin
KYRA He dumped me on the car seat, sat beside me, and ordered his driver to go.My heart bear frantically in my chest. If Alpha Jace saw me there, he'd feel disrespected and angry that I disobeyed him.He's going to kill another of my family.Another death will be on me because the Alpha King is too stubborn to accept no.I hit his arm n frustration and in anger, "Just let me go, please. I really don't want to go to the funeral."He didn't budge. "Stop the car, please. I beg you, stop the car."No response. I hit him harder, "Since when do you care about your Lunas in training?""Since one of them became my mate.""A mate you don't want, remember?""Doesn't mean I won't pay special attention to you. You begged for it, didn't you? Now you have my attention, don't you like it?""I don't need your attention to go to my mother's funeral!!" I cried, feeling very angry."Stop," he ordered. I froze and blinked, staring at him, momentarily forgetting how to breathe."What?" I muttered, st
KYRA Susan was by my bed the next morning, peering down at me with a teasing smile."What exactly are you doing? Getting his Majesty to notice you or passing off Eve more?"I threw the duvet over my head and shrugged, "Maybe both?"She threw the cover off, "I love your aspirations, but can you think about others and give us a fair chance. Not everyone is slender and curvy like you." I rolled my eyes and stood, getting dressed for the day. "Are you not going to ask any question?""Like what?" I chirped, "Astrid said you had a family emergency, so if you wanted to talk about it, you would. I don't want to pry,""Fairs," she stood, handing me my outfit for the day, "I heard you had a thing of yours too. I expected to see with bloodshot puffy eyes, not acting normal.""Oh...it's nothing.""It's not nothing," she argued, "your mother died, and you aren't wailing. You're aren't even mourning," she gave my orange gown a pointed look."Do you need help? Someone to talk to? Because it
KYRA I stared at her, unblinkingly. A deafening sound rang in my ears, and the corridor spinned under my gaze."Kyra..."The voice sounded so distant, so out of reach, like I was in another dimension.My mother.The world became blurry.Astrid was staring at me with something akin to pity. I covered my head with my hands and took a step back, shaking it vigorously. "No.. please," I begged, the words catching in my throat, "Tell me the news you have for me. That can't be it. I know you hate me, but do you have to go that far?""Your mother is dead, Kyra.""Stop saying that!" I screamed, something warm and liquid rolled down my cheeks, "Please stop saying that. That's not possible. It can't be, my mother can't be dead.""Sorry for your loss. You can take the day off to mourn and then submit a letter to the warden when it's time for your mother's funeral." Astrid raised her hand, then clenched it and left. I collapsed to the floor, drew my knees up, and buried my head in it.My moth
KYRA No news means good news right? That's what they always say.It's been two days now since my altercation with Alpha Jace, everything is going smoothly, I've been attending trainings and even though I still can't get rid of the feeling of some watching me, I've not heard from my blackmailer.I entered the hall, feeling a bit happy and chirper, allowing myself to believe Alpha Jace would think of someone else to do his bidding.I glanced around, it was just me, Eve and the grumpy silent girl. Susan was not in sight, she wasn't here, neither was she here yesterday.Missing training two days in a roll wouldn't sit well with the warden but I've not heard the warden complain.She was currently sitting on a podium, waiting for everyone to be here.A strange thought crossed my mind, Susan wouldn't miss these classes not unless there was some sort of emergency.What if this was Alpha Jace's doing? What if the news has been right in front of me all along and I didn't notice.A few more l
