All Chapters of Bound By Blood: A Contract With The Sea Dragon: Chapter 31 - Chapter 35

[Astasia’s POV]“Dammit,” I growl, looking around the hall around me. “Where the hell was it again?”I continue to search, looking for some form of familiarity that would indicate that I was near my room, but I come up empty.“Shit,” I sigh, realizing that I was in quite the predicament. “I should have just stayed put.”I should have, but I was annoyed by the fact Iravan was having someone hover around to babysit me. That’s why after Janice escorted me back to my room, I waited for her to leave to sneak out for a bit of fresh air. With luck, no one really paid me any mind because I was certain they were worried about offending Iravan. However, before I could even escape the castle, I found guards that I was certain wouldn’t let me pass.Even though I hated the idea of being stuck in my room once more, I turned around and decided to turn tail and go back. Well, that was the plan, but since I still wasn’t familiar with this large ass castle that Iravan was keeping me hostage in, I was o

[Astasia’s POV]I look toward the room’s exit as the sounds of Iravan’s pleasure grows louder, and before I can even think twice about it, I start to move. I reach the door within a few strides, but as I reach out to grab it, I hear a commotion taking place outside.“MOVE ASIDE!” Illiana’s voice bellows. “GET THE HELL OUT OF MY WAY!”“Uh,” I murmur, listening to the sound of struggle just beyond Iravan’s door. “I think you have an issue.

Or rather…He’s not really here right now.“IRAVAN!” Illiana yells as loud knocks sound from the door. “OPEN THIS DAMN DOOR RIGHT NOW!”“Crazy,” I hiss, unable to believe that she would go to this extent. “This bitch is crazy.”“OPEN UP NOW, IRAVAN!” Illiana repeats, banging on the door aga

[Iravan’s POV]I storm forward, shoving open the doors separating me from the room, and as I do, I move inside and start searching.Where is my little mate? I wonder as I take in the empty bed, the floor, and even the bathroom and bathtub. Where the hell did she go?Did someone come in the middle of the night and spirit her away, or did she venture out even though she knew she wouldn’t be able to find her way back to her room?“Dammit,” I growl, my panic and anger growing. “Where the hell are you?”As I speak, I hear a murmur just to my right, but when I turn in the direction it came from, I just come to see the empty bed.Frowning, I examine it while wondering if she was just so tiny that I didn’t see her figure beneath the blanket, but when I grab it and pull it aside, all I’m met with is a sheet.“What the hell?” I mutter as another murmur sounds, and I realize that the sound is coming from beneath.Slowly, I lower myself until I’m belly down on the carpet, and then I peek beneath
