All Chapters of Honor in the House of Wolves: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

I didn’t talk for the next few days. My throat was slowly getting better but between Yuki’s absolute hold over me and the screaming I needed the break. Dimitris allowed me to stay in bed as much as possible only forcing me to get up and walk around before meals. He never left my side always watching me until I grew uncomfortable and told him he really needed a new hobby. He’d always just laugh and pretend to read or maul over papers on a far desk. Servants were never allowed in his room, well except for one. That lizard girl, Yvet, though she was oddly absent. When they knocked on his door he rolled the carts in on his own and set the table himself. Tonight it was a simple meal: sandwiches. I figured the castle was busy with something since even the king was given such a simple dish. He allowed me a few bites before breaking out into conversation, “How are you feeling?” I shrugged and spoke low, it wasn’t a whisper anymore but it still was a struggle to form long sentences, “Okay

I woke up wrapped around the hard muscular frame of my mate. Even in my half awake state I could feel him tense. Maybe I hadn’t done a good enough job at making him relax last night. My fingers ran over his chest feeling the scars still present. Slowly I traced the one over his heart. There was a faint smell of blood in the air but when I felt my neck and brought my fingers infront of eyes I realised why. He had actually broken the skin. I didn’t know what else I could do to help him now. It felt so odd waking up in both aching pain and coming off a high from the power of his body. Looking up at him I saw him just staring at the door holding me firmly. “Everything okay?” I whispered. He shook his head quickly then looked down at me and flashed a smile, easing his grip slightly, “Everything’s fine.” “It’s not.” I laughed and reached up poking his wolf ears. “You’re exhausted. Did you not sleep last night?” “Couldn’t.” he growled. “Do you really rely on Helix that much?” He nodd

Yvet wheeled in a tub of hot steamy water and one of the dresses on loan from Emnore’s servants. I was actually glad to be wearing that dress for a change it covered up my own bitemark on my shoulder fully so less people would raise questions on my activities. She allowed me to bathe myself and style my own hair though I think that was because she was still a bit at odds with my choice to keep everything quiet and this was her little act of rebellion that she could get away with. Dimitris gave me a smile before he left and said he’d be back after court. In an attempt to reach out to her, I offered her an olive branch. It was a small guesture but just something I thought could start a dialog between us. I knew Dimitris didn’t think they were friends but it was clear to me she meant something to him. The least I could have done was get to know her and offer my apologies for what happened to her mate. “I’m sorry for what happened with Helix. I hope he feels better soon.” She stopped t

Dimitris took me back to his room where I saw what was waiting for me. It was a gorgeous dark silver gown with a corset top that had crystal stars forming the low neckline. It was sleeveless as well and when I moved the fabric it shined in every direction. “How beautiful!” I gasped. Then saw a few issues. It was a drop waist… My tail would never have allowed me to wear this kind of thing. “Umm…” shyly I tugged at my hair, “I can’t wear that.” He cocked his head to the side and started to undress his own much nicer tailored suit with cravat was hanging up on his wardrobe door. “Yvet will be disappointed. Why?” I threw my hands up and they landed back on my hips, “Seriously?” Turning to the side I pointed at my tail, “That figure of a dress is a no go.” He burst out laughing and tossed his undershirt onto a chair. “My love, you’re wearing that dress because I’m getting too excited at getting to tear it off you tonight.” he kissed my forehead and I felt just different. It was like a

At some point during the night, I had rolled off him, and he was now wrapped around me as one hand rested firmly on my breast, the other was under my head, stretched outward. His leg was on top of me, pulling me against him just to make sure I wasn’t going anywhere. “Dimitris.” I whispered though my strength was gone, even my words were laboring to form. “Hmm?” He mumbled into my hair as he took another breath in. Waking me up for any reason my queen? Queen? Did he just call me queen? “Dimitris.” I nudged him again only feeling him hard between my legs cause me to second guess my actions. “What’s wrong?” Finally, he leaned over me pulling me back to look up at him, “Are you hurt?” I shook my head, “Just sore. But we’re in the forest, naked…” “Sounds like an opportunity.” He purred but I pushed him back with a shaky arm, “What’s wrong?” I wasn’t regretting anything but I knew if I told him what I was feeling he’d think it was regret. “Did we really form a bond last night?” I c
