All Chapters of Honor in the House of Wolves: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

We ate breakfast together Nok said he had ordered it to be brought as quickly as possible and made sure I ate nearly as much as him before we set out on our walk. He showed me through a few different areas of the castle including a few family portaits that never seemed to include all of the children. “My older brothers,” Nok stopped at the most full one where six strapping young lads and one baby were with one slender powerful looking woman. She had straight black hair and red eyes that even in the portrait made me feel inferior. “Wulda, my mother. She’s holding me about a week after I was born.” “Your brothers all look about the same age.” The oldest three, Alfred, Conrad, and Dimitris were missing their wolf ears in the picture which meant they were old enough to hide their fae nature. They all looked so similar that same thick black hair, pale face and blue eyes. Then there were the next three who all couldn’t hide their ears yet they all looked alike too except for one. “Who ha

“What now?” I grumbled hoping I wasn’t about to push my luck.“I want to let you know that that human’s body is being respectfully taken care of.”“HA!” I scoffed, “Guess even a heartless cruel king needs to respect the dead then? Since you don’t care for the living.”“I understand you're upset-”“You understand?” I snapped but felt my luck starting to slip, “You tried to kill Sylis, you killed Dara. You know she had a family, you just took her and held her here for how long? Did you know she was a person, with feelings and likes and dislikes just like me? You threw her out like garbage and you expect me to believe you understand? What’s worse still,” oh was I on a tangent now, no one was sticking up for those who couldn’t defend themselves and this was my fight now, “you just expect me to sit here and spend time with you like none of this ever happened!”“Who said I wanted that?” he turned back to me and cocked his head to the side, “I am merely wanting to keep you honest. Since it s

When I got back to Nok he hugged me tight. It felt like I was cheating on Dimitris. He might have really been my mate but I had established something with nok. It wasn’t perfect, but it was something I had spent time on. Just because Dimitris thought I was something special to him didn’t discredit anything I had with Nok, it couldn’t. “Everything okay princess?” he rested his head on top of mine and gave me one final squeeze. “It’s fine,” I sighed. “How’s Sylis?” A majority of the medics had left, one was still there monitoring her but it seemed far less chaotic. Sylis was there laying on the bed, eyes closed just looking like she was sleeping peacefully. “I guess she’s alright,” Nok shrugged letting me go to her side, “She’s lucky Dimitris likes to play with his food. So, what’d you two talk about?” I didn’t answer, I just went to Sylis’s side keeping my distance in case the medic needed extra room. “Do you forgive him already?” Nok was speaking low, but I could hear his d

“Sit your ass back down!” Nok boomed, “Dimitris you’ve witnessed our bond.”“Witnessed?” Dimitris laughed, “I’ve witnessed you claim time and time again and yet no actions back up this claim.”“ENOUGH!” Alfred slammed his fists down as he jumped to his feet, “Ashai, sit down. I will not have this dinner ruined over a fucking human.” I took my seat against my desires. Looking over at Alfred I realized then he was truly the one who everyone had intended to be king. When he spoke the room stopped. When he commanded the world had to listen. Not a single person in attendance dared to make a peep while he had control. Even Dimitris who was glaring down the table never breaking eye contact with Nok stayed quiet. Alfred sat back down and took Emonore’s hand returning him to a relaxed position. It was Dimitris who decided to be the bigger person first, not to anyone’s surprise. “Thank you for coming back to court brother. The presence you bring certainly livens up the place.” Nok nodded ba

Tears were running down my face. I never expected Nok to be okay with this and every part of me was undeniably grateful that he was going to allow it, especially for Sylis. Seeing his face after he had lowered her status, fuming with every ounce of his being into wishing he could have done more harm. What he was giving up was beyond what she deserved. There was absolutely no way I could ever hope to repay him. “Nok,” I whispered, “please-”“It won’t change anything between us.’ Nok narrowed his eyes to Dimitris, “You fucking prick. Pretty proud of yourself aren’t you?”“In general.” Dimitris smiled back but there was no hatred just a victorious flash of superiority. “Just do me a favor.” Nok took my hand and leaned down next to me a finger under my chin, “Make sure that bitch understands what I gave up for her.”“I’ll make it up to you.” I didn’t want to look him in the eye. There was no way I could ever do something that could compare. “Something tells me it’s the least I can do a
