Chapter 131: Could Spare You Some

Ivara's POVZane stopped and turned to Xlynor. “In the car? I told you she was in the car?”Xlynor glanced at the door, then back at Zane. “Which car? You didn’t specify which.”I sat there, completely confused. Why did it matter which one? And what exactly did he need me for?Zane's brow creased. He looked equally confused. “She's in my car. I was just about to drop her and Nyx home.”Xlynor didn't pause for even a second as his fingers curled around the handle, and he pulled the door open. His eyes locked on me and I gave him the most unimpressed look I could manage.“Get out.”I blinked. “What? Me?”He didn't repeat himself. Just gestured with two fingers, the universal “come here” gesture, and turned to Zane. “You didn't mention you were taking her home.”“I assumed you were headed to the meeting,” Zane said. “I figured I'd drop them and come over, after.”“I don't care what you assumed, ask me before you decide. She's not going home yet. She's coming with me,” Xlynor snapped.“Bu

Chapter 132: Reputation.

Ivara's POVThe shock on Xlynor’s face was clear for a split second, but it did nothing to wipe away that infuriating smirk.“Goddamnit, McKenna.” He touched his jaw, more out of reflex than pain. “Are you out of your mind? I said you could hit me—I didn't mean it literally, and I didn't think you'd go for it either.”I looked at him, then at my stinging palm. Why did it have to hurt every time I hit him?And then I glanced at him again. Why the hell was that stupid smirk still there? Was the hit not hard enough? Didn't I put enough force into it? Why wasn't he mad? That was not the reaction I wanted at all. I'd been holding that hit in reserve for hours, and it hadn't even made a dent?I rose onto my tiptoes — which did not close as much of the height gap as I needed it to — and looked up at his face from as close as I could manage. “What? You want to go run your mouth now? You said you'd take the hit. Don't tell me you're reconsidering.”He poked me in the center of my forehead, har

Chapter 133: Terrible Things.

Ivara's POVI'd thought it would be quick.That had been my assumption when Xlynor had driven past the castle turnoff, and I'd asked where we were going, and he'd said we were having a “mini pack tour”— I'd assumed a stop, maybe two. Something brief that he needed to handle before dropping me home.That had been hours ago.We'd gone to the blacksmith's first, where he'd picked up a weapon that turned out to be for Nyx.After that, we dropped it off at her mansion and moved to Granny Jojo's quarters, where he'd proceeded to sit and talk for an entire hour while I drifted around the space looking at things and trying so hard not to touch like he warned.Then we stopped by at the manor — his manor, the one I'd woken up in on my first day in Dark Hound. I had completely forgotten that Xlynor owned something like that. He disappeared inside one of the wings as soon as we got there for what felt like three hours while I explored it, avoiding the maids and guards walking around in it.Right

Chapter 134: Meadow

Ivara's POVI wasn't sure how long we walked, but it couldn't have been more than two minutes. Maybe even less. One moment I was draped over Xlynor's shoulder, and then he stopped and set me down while I stumbled slightly, finding my footing.My face burned with embarrassment, so I tried not to look directly at him.“We're here.” He exhaled. “Been a while since I came, but it still looks decent.” A pause. “Go see your river of gold.”I looked up at him in surprise. “There's actually —”He put his hand on my head and rotated me. I was about to snap at him, but the words died in my throat the moment I saw what lay before me.The meadow opened up in front of me like something that shouldn't exist outside of a dream. We were on a ridge — high, the valley sprawling out below us — but the ridge itself had flattened into an expanse of grass so thick and soft it looked like it had been placed there on purpose. And across every inch of it, white.White wildflowers, daisies, lilies, white orchi

Chapter 135: Mind Penetration

Ivara's POVI stared at Ivara, watching her eyelids grow heavier with every passing second. She was fighting it hard, trying to keep her balance even while sitting. I crouched beside her and held her face with one hand, but I made no move to help her stay awake.She tried to tell me something, but her words came out slurred and broken while her fingers gripped my shirt tightly, as if she was afraid to let go.“Are you okay?” I asked even though I could see she wasn't.She didn’t respond. Instead, she slumped forward, falling against my chest while I caught her, holding her steady.Her body had gone rigid even as it gave out and the muscles in her shoulders were still braced like some part of her was fighting even in unconsciousness.At least the only thing she'd remember was her enjoying the view then getting sleepy and me asking if she was okay. Nothing that would leave her suspicious.I held her with one arm and rubbed my hand through her hair. “You’re acting like I sent you somewhe

Chapter 136: Blood Shield

Xlynor's POVI kept glancing at my watch, impatience gnawing at me. Kali had said thirty minutes or less, which meant it should be over soon, but the minutes dragged on, and instead, it felt like I was waiting for eternity.Ten minutes passed. Fifteen. Twenty.I pushed off the wall and walked to the door, ready to leave the room and clear my head, then I stopped.No, it's fine. Nothing bad would happen. It's not like I was ordering her death.I forced myself back to my spot in the corner, arms crossed, watching the two motionless figures like statues in the dark.Moments later, I glanced at my watch. Thirty minutes had passed and Kali remained locked in place.My expression tightened. She had given an estimate of thirty minutes, and she wasn't done yet? I exhaled. It was taking longer than we thought, which meant that whatever she was up to wasn't normal stuff and that heightened my panic and curiosity.I loosened my bun and raked my fingers through my hair. Was she a demon? A demigod

Chapter 137: Not Her

Xlynor's POVKali's eyes moved over my face like she was searching for something. A shift in my expression… something she could read while the weight of her question hung between us like a blade.She took one step closer. “I'm asking you a question, Xlynoriz Kerion Darkazov. Answer me.” She was the only one who called me by my full name, and she only did so when she meant business.I turned away from her and looked at Ivara instead. “It’s been over an hour, but she’s still sleeping. What’s wrong with her? She’s not even moving.”“She needs more hours, but she’ll wake up within twenty-four…” Kali shook her head. “No, no, no. Don’t change the subject, Xlynor. Answer me.”“What she does to me is none of your concern,” I said flatly. “You didn’t find out exactly what she is, and that’s fine. We should move forward from here and focus on handling this. What do we do?”“No, no!” Kali shook her head and stepped back. “Nothing. We do nothing. We’re not handling anything.”“What?” I narrowed m

Chapter 138: Paralysis.

Xlynor's POVI ignored Kali completely and shoved past her, carrying Ivara in my arms. I opened the door to my room, which was across from Ivara's, and entered. Kali tried to follow, but I slammed the door in her face with a sharp bang that the frame shook.Her fist hit the wood immediately.“Open this door, Xlynor!”I ignored it and carried Ivara straight to the bedroom and laid her down carefully on the bed before taking off her shoes and pulling the covers over her. She wasn't clutching my shirt anymore and looked completely at peace and for a moment I just stood there, staring at her.“Open up! Xlynor, come out here!” I could still hear Kali's scream and banging.I groaned, pressing my fingers to the bridge of my nose. I wasn’t thinking straight and I knew it. I needed a moment. I needed time to process everything before I lost control completely and said something I didn't want to.When I finally stepped out, Kali was still in the hallway, fuming. “You actually mean it? You're ke

Chapter 139: Speck Of Light.

Xlynor's POVThe color left Kali's face gradually. “Keep that finger down,” she commanded like she was talking to a kid. “Don't be a—”“Stop talking to me like I'm a kid.” I growled.“Then stop acting like one! Put the damned finger down!” She grimaced.“Mhmm…hmm…” I didn't move a muscle.“Xlynor!”I flexed the finger, a smirk tugging at the corner of my lips.“You’re going to paralyze me because of a girl? A slave? You're really going to do that?”“And this is exactly what pisses me off. First, I'm not in the habit of announcing what I won't do. Second, this is not about her or you,” I said, stepping closer.“Don't come any closer,” she warned.“It’s about me.” I met her eyes. “Do you know what it's like to spend years confined in a dark room? No light. Nothing. And then… all of a sudden, a small light. A speck of it comes through somewhere you didn't expect, and then you finally get to see the beauty of it…” I clicked my tongue. “Sorry, Kali, but I’m not letting you or anybody take t

Chapter 140: Tracker

Xlynor's POVI leaned against the wall, arms folded, and simply stared at Kali. The silence stretched, heavy and deliberate.Kali stood frozen, eyes darting as she processed everything I'd just laid bare. She looked like she was weighing every possible outcome, and calculating risks I'd already decided didn't matter. Finally, her gaze met mine and she gulped.I tilted my head slightly.“It’s… it’s not… it’s not right,” she stammered, finally finding her voice. “That’s like… playing with fire. You’re risking it by gambling with—”“And I told you to trust me.”“I know you did. I've always trusted you, but this is different. This—”“Then it's settled.”“No, it’s not.” Her voice dropped. “It’s hard to comprehend. I know she’s your slave, but she’s not a thing—”“Stop using the word ‘slave’ when talking about her.” I frowned, cutting her off. “I got her at Dark Hell, alright, but I don’t remember announcing that she’s a slave.”Kali breathed deeply. “But—”“Slaves don’t stay in the same ho
