Chapter 141: Friends?

Ivara's POVThe first thing I felt was something wet and cold dabbing against my skin. First my chest, then my neck, and finally my forehead. It retreated for a moment, only to return and continue dabbing my skin.I stirred, trying to move, but my body felt impossibly weak and burning hot all at once. My body was uncooperative, like it belonged to someone else and I had no control over it.My eyes fluttered open, but everything was blurry. The first thing I made out was a figure—a woman. I blinked hard, trying to focus, but I still couldn't see properly and at the same time, I didn’t feel right. I felt… sick.I forced my heavy arms to move, weakly pushing away the cold cloth on my forehead, and shifted back.Someone spoke, but the words blurred together, so I couldn't make them out. I had no idea what was wrong with me.Strong but gentle hands rested on my shoulders, helping me sit up straighter.I blinked repeatedly until, slowly, the figure in front of me sharpened. It was an older

Chapter 142: Interrogator.

Ivara's POVI sat at the table, stabbing the food in front of me. I was trying desperately to focus on the meal, but Aunt Kali wasn’t letting me. She had positioned herself beside me, and made sure to interrogate me between bites. For some reason, she kept probing, digging for answers, and it was making me incredibly uncomfortable.We'd started with my parents — how I'd ended up at Dark Hell, what I was before that, who my parents were— and I'd given her the minimum without going deeper.Then she shifted the questions to Xlynor. The kind of questions she was asking made it obvious—she probably thought I was sleeping with him, just like everyone else in the pack seemed to believe.It made my skin crawl. And the fact that he kept making me stay in his room only made it worse. I needed to talk to him about moving away from the castle because I couldn't deal with these silly assumptions anymore. But I couldn't go back to the maid's dorm— the girls there were too cold. Maybe Granny Jojo's

Chapter 143: Severing Weaknesses

Ivara's POV“Stop it! I'm going to trip!” I half yelled at Xlynor, who wouldn't stop dragging me along even while I was stumbling to keep up. I had no idea why he was dragging me.A few seconds ago, I was being shown the hall where the final assessment would be happening by the guards when Xlynor suddenly appeared like darkness himself. He dismissed the guards with me and the ones with him and the next second, his hand was locked around my wrist, and he pulled me along without a word.“Where are you taking me?” I asked, but he didn’t answer. He wasn't even acting like I was talking to him.He proceeded to drag me inside an office—I didn’t even know whose it was—slammed the door shut, and finally turned to face me. “What are you doing here?”“Huh?” I blinked. “Nothing?”“I never said you could come,” he said flatly. “Why did you lie to Zane? You’re sick and should be home.”“Uhm, about that —” I averted my gaze. “I couldn't stay home with your aunt.” I pressed my lips together. But the

Chapter 144: Lords of Death

Ivara's POVA shiver ran through me as I stood there. I found myself stepping back from the horrifying scene unfolding in the yard.One step, two, three — and then a hand on my back, stopping me from colliding with whoever was behind me.“Easy, Snow White.” A familiar voice spoke.I turned quickly. It was Isagi, standing there with one hand tucked into his pocket.While Xlynor wrapped himself in everything dark, Isagi seemed to favor white. What a sharp contrast between them.He wore a crisp white shirt, tailored ivory trousers, a cream cashmere coat, and polished white leather gloves. Not a single stain dared cling to him. If I were meeting him for the first time, I might've been deceived into thinking he was a saint sculpted from marble.He looked down on me with knotted brows while exuding that easy confidence that seemed to cling to him.I bowed my head slightly. “I’m so sorry. I didn't see you there.”He smirked. “You look scared out of your wits. Terrified even.” He glanced at t

Chapter 145: Psycho

Ivara's POVThe first shot rang out before Isagi had fully cleared the exit, causing my head to snap toward the horror unfolding in front of me.The recruits had moved without a signal or command. They just stepped forward one by one toward the weapons table, picked up what they were going to use, and turned toward the stakes.The first recruit raised a gun, steadied it with both hands, and fired once. A clean shot straight to the head. The prisoner's head dropped and stayed dropped.My stomach tightened and I swallowed emptiness. How could he just do that without batting an eyelid? Most of the recruits couldn't have been much older than me, and yet they were this dark-hearted with murderous intent? Scary.The second recruit took two shots, then the third followed with one shot. They moved down the line with mechanical precision. Bodies jerked with every impact and blood sprayed.I didn't blink or move; it felt like I was trapped in my own body, so I just stood there and watched it ha

Chapter 146: First Official Weapon

Ivara's POV I gulped, then pressed my lips together. I glanced around the yard, particularly at the stakes or perhaps what was left of them. The ruins, the blood, the corpses.What did I expect in Dark Hound? Normalcy? This was a pack that operated by its own rules and ruled by its own terms. Their Alpha was Xlynor fucking Darkazov! The villain to other Alphas, the defiant and maverick Alpha in the shifters' realm. And that Alpha was also my so-called master. I could not afford to keep being shocked by scenery like this. I had to get used to this. Somehow.I rubbed my sweaty palms against my clothes and exhaled before turning toward the exit.“Uh uh. I’m not done with you yet.”Xlynor didn’t say my name or gesture towards me, but somehow, I knew it was me. I knew those words were for me. I stopped and turned around.Xlynor was standing at the weapons table, running one hand along its edge, and looking down at the weapons with an expression I couldn't immediately categorize.“So many o

Chapter 147: Try Not To Kill

Ivara's POVI yanked my arm free from Xlynor's grip. “You're not going to…” I stepped back. “You're not making me —”“That's exactly what I intend to do.” He looked entirely unbothered by my reaction. “I like that you're not slow about it.”“I'm not going to kill someone!” My voice came out louder than I meant it to.“Yes, you are. Didn’t you always want to use weapons? Now do something real with it,” he huffed.“I'm not a psycho. I didn't ask to be anybody's executor, and you're not going to make me one,” I scowled.“Your opinions aren't particularly relevant here.”I took another step back, but he covered the distance in two strides, and then his hand curled around my neck — not squeezing or threatening, but firm enough to keep me exactly where he wanted— and he looked down at me with that expression that had stopped being readable to me a while ago.“First, you don't step away from me. Second…” His eyes moved to the center of the yard. “You're going to go back there, pick your weap

Chapter 148: Conditions?

Ivara's POV“Why do I have to do it? Why me?” I finally found my voice.Xlynor shrugged. “Easy. You aren’t a Dark Hounder, but you’re in Dark Hound. You can’t get anywhere with that softness. And not even finding a man to fuck you so you’ll get too filthy for me to keep you as mine would save you.”His words echoed in my head and my hand stilled on the gun while it slipped from my fingers and clattered to the ground.I turned to him. “What did you just say?”“Pick it up.”I didn’t. “What did you say?”“You thought I wouldn’t find out about how magnificent your craziness got?” He gave an upturned smile.I swallowed. He knew. How the hell did he find out? And then he kept silent all this while? I must've been a fool. Oh, damn! Wait! Xlynor wouldn't keep silent all this while, right? I told Zane too. Don't tell me that Zane snitched. No, Zane wouldn't.“That… I wasn’t… it’s my body and I decide what to do with it.” I defended shakily. “I’m not discussing that with you, and I’m done here!

Chapter 149: He's Gone Mad

Ivara's POV“Go get your brain checked. You're losing it, sicko.” I said to his face, then turned on my heel, facing the weapons on the table. I picked up the bow.I had approximately zero experience with guns. The bow was at least something I'd held before, ‘even if held was the extent of the relationship’ it was safer. At least I knew how it worked. Nock the arrow, pull back, aim, then release.I had no idea where the vital points were in a human body or where to avoid when it came to Nathan, so his legs were the target. Non-lethal, probably. Yeah, probably. I was literally doing my best, but there was a chance I'd cripple him. But it was better than killing him, right?I still had no idea why Xlynor was so hellbent on making me do this. None of his explanations made sense. He was obviously a terrible liar. But why would he even lie to me? It wasn’t like I could go against his absurd rules anyway.I took my stance, nocked the arrow, and raised the bow. I found Nathan in my sight-lin

Chapter 150: Body And Ownership

Ivara's POV I glanced around desperately. Thankfully, the guards weren’t openly staring, but not looking didn't mean not knowing. They had to notice what their Alpha was doing. And if they hadn't, at least they could hear.I needed to get free. I needed to get free without making this worse, since he wasn't letting go and I had approximately no leverage and no plan.Before I could think it through, a plea slipped out. “Please… I’m sorry. I take it back—everything I said. All of it. You're not stupid, I'm the stupid one, I'm dumb, I take all of it back—”He didn’t move a muscle.I swallowed emptiness. “Xlynor…” My voice was embarrassingly unsteady. “Do you realize that there are guards in this yard? Anyone could come through that entrance. We're in a yard in the barracks and you're… you're doing this. You're going to ruin your reputation,” I whispered, and it came out like pulling a splinter.“You haven't taken everything back,” he said, against my hair.I raised a brow. “I said I tak
