All Chapters of Gifted With Two Wolves: Fated To Two Rival Kingdoms : Chapter 171 - Chapter 180

KIRA'S POV I was in heaven. I couldn't remember the last time I had such a lazy morning. Inside me, Athena and Xena were sated, I could almost feel them purring.I was a bit surprised that Xena had claimed Dante as her own, especially since I hadn't rejected Asher yet, but I decided not to think about it yet. Dante was here with me, and I wanted to be present and enjoy the moment. My stomach rumbled as he got out of the bath and reached for a towel. Dante looked amused. "Hungry?" "Mmm." My eyes were shut as I leaned against the lip of the tub. "I thought you were only hungry for my body?" Dante asked. I opened my eyes and saw that he purred slightly. I smiled. "Now that I've had my fill of you, I'm allowed to crave something else.""No, you're not," he said, reaching down and picking me out of the water. I squealed. "Ah! Put me down!"Dante somehow managed to wrap a towel around me without setting me down even for a second. "I'm never letting you go, Kira," he murmured. "Now

KIRA'S POVI somehow managed to convince Dante to go down for breakfast, even though he wanted nothing more than to pack up and leave Blackthorn. Even after the beating he'd given Asher, I could still feel his barely controlled rage at everything he'd found out. I couldn't blame him. Now that I had all my memories back, and our minds were also linked, I could understand him clearly. His anger against Mira and Asher was valid, but the events of the last few days had proven that Mira was just a victim too, as much as I was. "She's not a victim," Dante grumbled through our mindlink as we made our way down to the dining hall. We were joining them for breakfast not because we truly wanted to eat, but because I knew there would be conversations to be had. I didn't fail to notice the look of disappointment Dante had given his father when he realized the Lycan King hadn't done anything to make sure Mira was punished for what she did. I did not want to be the reason for a strained relations

MIRA'S POV I stared at my reflection in the bathroom mirror, feeling increasingly annoyed. Kira was right outside the door, waiting for me to come out so she could fuss over me once more. What was her ploy anyways? Who did she think she was? I scoffed. She was really insufferable. When I pretended to have morning sickness, I did it so Asher would be guilt tripped into helping me since there were lots of people at the table. He didn't even move an inch, and Kira was the one I got. Meddling bitch. She just had to show off her kindness, didn't she? I mean, who in their right minds helped the pregnant fiance of their mate? Who except a woman who was so dumb she couldn't see what was right in front of her? "Mira?" Kira's voice came softly through the door. She knocked on the wood gently. "Are you feeling sick again? Do you need my help?" As if. "One moment!" I called back, forcing false cheer into my voice. She'd almost caught me. I'd have to do something about her, and quickly. A

KIRA'S POV"I still don't get why we have to go to this thing," Dante grumbled as we put the finishing touches to our clothing. I smiled a bit. Since the conversation with his father, he'd been pissed about staying in Blackthorn Pack, but he wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt, so we stayed. We didn't have to attend the ball, of course, but I convinced him otherwise. I didn't think staying involved: locking ourselves in the bedroom and having sex all day long. My cheeks flushed at the thought, and Dante chuckled, coming up behind me to zip up my dress. "I know what you're thinking," he said in a low voice, bending slightly so he could run his nose along the curve of my neck and shoulder, kissing me gently. "We can do that." "No, we can't," I said breathlessly. Dante kissed my neck again. "Mmm? Are you sure?" My skin began to tingle slightly, the first signs of my growing arousal. "Yes," I managed to say relatively firmly. Dante gave a small defeated smile, and pulled

DANTE'S POVI watched as my mate was pulled aside by her mother — her adoptive mother if Mira was to be believed. My chest tightened painfully. I wanted to go to her, to console her, but I recognized that she needed to be with Reika at this moment. She had to hear the truth, whatever that may be, and I had to stand here and watch her walk into a world of pain I couldn’t protect her from.Meanwhile, if looks could kill, Luna Odessa might have accidentally killed her daughter. Mira. Hell, this was confusing. Raymond looked furious and betrayed, and the guests in the hall were shouting for answers. Only Mira had a serene look on her face. She finally got what she enjoyed. Attention and drama. Her smile made Kai snarl."Is what she said true?" One of the guests asked. He was a man who looked to be in his fifties. I knew his type. Sticklers for tradition, the sort who valued order more than compassion."Yeah," another woman added, speaking directly to Luna Odessa. "Give us an answer." J
