บททั้งหมดของ TOO WILD TO TAME: บทที่ 81 - บทที่ 90

Adrian’s POVEverything was spiraling today like someone had spent months planning the perfect ambush and I was the idiot walking straight into the trap.This meeting? It wasn’t even supposed to happen today.Levi never breathed a word about the convoys arriving early. I’d been in the study going over border reports with Thomas, still riding the high of putting Caroline and her little spectacle in their place, when one of my men burst in and said the vampire delegation had rolled up at the gates like they owned the damn place.Levi had arranged it behind my back to perhaps make me look incapable.Oh, the things I had lined up for him after this…public humiliation so creative he’d be begging for exile. But then Kira walked in wearing her own humiliation like armor, chin high, eyes blazing, and I couldn’t have been prouder if she’d walked in wearing my crown.Everything she did and said got me so excited… Until she started flirting with that smug bastard just to twist the knife in my g

Adrian’s POVLevi’s face was turning an ugly shade of plum, veins bulging at his temples. He clawed at my wrist, gasping. “I… don’t… know… anything!”I squeezed harder. “Try again, Levi.”“I didn’t make the rotation rosters myself!” he choked out. “It was Mother! I swear! She insisted…she said she knew the men better, that she could handle the schedules!”A low, dangerous growl tore out of my chest. Derek was right there, vibrating under my skin. “You let your mother make the rosters for warriors guarding our borders? Are you a fucking wuss, Levi? Do you have no spine at all?”I flung him backward. He hit the far wall with a sickening crack, slid down, coughing blood onto the marble.I should have listened to Thomas when he warned me…back when Levi was practically hounding me for an appointment. But no, I let sentiment cloud my judgment. I told myself he was still royalty, that the blood in his veins meant something, that it earned him patience, trust… authority. That was the only rea

Adrian’s POVDerek lunged again, nearly tearing through. I locked my knees to keep from shifting right there in front of the entire council.“Why?” The word scraped out harsher than I meant. “Who’s waiting for you in that camp, Kira?”Her eyes flickered…something raw and private flashing through them before she shuttered it.“No one’s waiting,” she said quietly. “But there are people I need to see as soon as possible. People that owe me.”People.Plural.My mind supplied the worst possible translation: a man. Maybe more than one.Wait… what? Is she into stuff like that? Was she really that kind of girl? No. That didn’t make sense. She’d been tight earlier today. Pure. Still a virgin. And the realization hit me harder than it should have. I was her first. She had no idea how deeply it sank its claws into me. The thought alone had Derek bristling, horny, and excited at the very idea of being her first.Regardless, I couldn’t help but picture it too clearly…her slipping through the fenc

Kira’s POVThe shouting swelled like a wave crashing toward us, voices piling on top of each other until it sounded like one long, angry roar. Families were on their feet now, kids clinging to legs, men jabbing fingers in the air, women wiping tears with the backs of their hands. The whole hall vibrated with it.Adrian raised both palms, voice booming over the noise. “Everyone…calm down. I hear you. I’m handling it.”Despite that, the roar got louder.I pinched the inside of his arm…hard. The kind of pinch that leaves a red crescent and makes grown men yelp.He flinched, head whipping toward me.“My offer’s still on the table,” I hissed, keeping my voice low enough that only he could hear. “But it’s got an expiration time. Like, thirty seconds from now. Let me talk to them. I know exactly how to calm this down. Just promise you’ll grant me one request. One. Tiny. Favor.”His eyes narrowed. He leaned in so close his breath brushed my ear. “I don’t have to strike a deal with the queen t

Kira’s POVAgain?!The heat crashed into me harder this time, a full-body sucker punch that stole my breath and turned my knees to water. It wasn’t just warm. It was molten. Every nerve lit up at once, pleasure and raw, clawing need twisting low in my belly like someone had flipped a switch and cranked the voltage to maximum. My skin felt too tight, too sensitive, like even the brush of my own clothes was torture.I fanned my face with one shaky hand, the cold Alaskan wind doing absolutely nothing to help.“Is it… hot out here?” I blurted, voice cracking. “It’s literally freezing. Snow. Wind. Why am I so damn hot?”My cheeks were on fire. I pressed my palms to them…flaming, scorching, like I’d stuck my face in an oven. Adrian’s eyes narrowed, that predatory gleam sharpening as he watched me unravel right in front of him.He reached for my hand again, slowly and deliberate…like he could sense what was happening inside me.The second his fingers closed around mine…bam! Electric. A ja
