Honor in the House of Wolves의 모든 챕터: 챕터 131 - 챕터 140

I came back to the bed feeling like a lifetime had occurred since I had been brought back to the castle. “How long was I out?” Dimitirs shook his head, “Just a few days. You’re fine though. Every medic assured me you were okay.” There was one thing that was biting at me. “How is everyone?” He shrugged and buried his head in my hands. His breath steadied once more before he raised his head a soft smile on his face, “Are you hungry? I can get you anything,” pausing he circled back around, “Well, not wine. I can get you water.” “Not wine?” I laughed in agreement but then maybe a part of me had hoped he wasn’t considering my distaste for the drink. “Wait-” “You’re fine.” He patted my hand once more squeezing it firmly as if he knew my worry. “But am I still-” “You’re fine.” he said again this time more sternly, “Please don’t worry about anything else.” While not answering my question it did seem to be something I needed to hear. It was intentionally vague but it also allowed me t

The day of the masquerade could not have come quick enough. I had taken enough walks around the castle stopping just shy of Hectyr’s tower to where Yvet swore I’d wear a hole in the floor. Hectyr never came down for dinner, he never showed his face, and I wasn't able to ever thank him. Everything with him felt so unresolved that I begged Dimitris to force him to come to the party tonight. “If he wants to he will.” He shrugged flipping through a book. “I’m not going to force him because I know he never really like to go to these kinds of things.”“Please,” I sighed.“You’re well aware that the situation in our family is rocky at best. He is not going to escalate further by reminding our mother he exists.”That was it, that was the end of it, but then again Dimitris had court this afternoon and I had the day to myself. Sage would stop in every so often, one time wearing interesting glasses that she said were a gift but never spoke about it further. I waited until Dimtris left for co

Dimitris saved me some time later and took me to sit down as he handed me a large glass of water. “You’ve been busy.” I laughed between gulps, “Understatement.” Then I looked around. That golden masked fae was still gone. “Did you see everyone I was dancing with?” He shook his head, “I saw a few but while you’ve been dancing with the males their wives and mothers have been circling me. Why?” I shrugged, “I’m just hoping I’m able to recall everyone who I danced with. I mean they sound nice enough.” “You do not have to base anything on this night.” “I’ll keep that in mind.” He pulled me back to my feet as we started to walk toward the long rows of tables. Luckily we were both able to get away from the dance floor before they could rope me into anything further. As the crowd in front of us cleared our table came into view but Dimtiris stepped in front of me. “What’s wrong?” I tried to look past him but he was doing too good of a job and so I just stood my hands on my hips.

Hectyr left quickly after that and I made my way back to Dimitris’s side. The entire festival was going by so quickly I hardly had time to process. I think at one point Nok came over with a few pints of beer. I refused but he and the rest of his brothers all decided to get into a drinking competition that left Nok the disputed winner while Mani collapsed back in his chair causing an uproar. We honestly had the best time. I found myself gripping my stomach multiple times from laughter. I managed to see everyone else in the family too. Emnore was dressed in a frilly gown with a very tastefully plain lace mask, while Alfred wore an outfit that looked far too much like Hectyr’s which it was more of an afterthought. Meanwhile Anju and Conrad dressed as golden statues full masks that made me do a double taken as they sat down, only realizing who they were once Conrad lifted his golden plate of a mask to get a drink. Nok was more plan than anyone not even bothering to wear a mask. For a g

Why was I so powerless against these men? Why do I never fight back? WHY! I clenched my eyes shut and felt a draw of power as I pushed back causing Hectyr to crash hard against the wall with me between his legs. I hated every part of me that enjoyed this. There was nothing that surrendered to him, for once I was going to fight. My hands clutched his tunic digging into the fabric as I held him firmly. He was going to know my strength. He surrendered and I felt a moan ease up from my core and finally vibrated against his lips. It was like encouragement for him. His fingers were playing with the fabric near my collar. I knew what he was looking for and once he moved my dress off my shoulder he pushed back causing us to finally part. Struggling to catch my breath I used as much strength left in me to close the bond between Dimitris and myself. If he knew- no. I shook the thought from my mind. He wasn't going to be here right now. Hectyr was what was flooding me, he was all that my feel
