All of Kyra’s wicked thoughts about kissing Anton and about the strange feeling she got when his hands rested on her bare leg vanished into thin air when his hand applied pressure on a particular spot on her ankle and sharp pain shot through her.Kyra let out a tiny scream but immediately slammed her hand over her mouth as her eyes watered. She has been far gone in her thought because of his actions that kept surprising and knocking the breath out of her that she did not notice her ankle was twisted a little before he caught her. It would have been much worse than this if he hadn't caught her. Like that first day they had lunch together, she had him to thank for saving her from falling, even if he was the reason she was going to fall. The pains in her leg did it allow her room to offer him, thanks.“This place is hurting, huh?” Anton hummed softly before his hand continued to search around her legs. “Any other place?”Kyra shook her head in response but when she realized that he was
A million words came to Kyra’s mouth, but they did not make it past her lips. She shook her head and relaxed back on her seat as the carriage began to move, but her eyes could not leave Anton’s face.His action about placing her leg on his lap had been so natural like he had done it a million times to someone else that was not her before. Was it his first mate?Well, even though she has been cooped up inside her room since after that day she came out to have lunch with him, a few maids had come into her room to clean it up because that was not part of Cynthia’s work.They had tried to be quiet as they worked and cursed her, but she still heard them anyway. It was one of the little special gifts she had as a werewolf or was it a curse because she mostly kept hearing things she would rather not hear? They spoke about his first mate, they did not give out too much information, but they gave enough to make her understand that his first mate hurt him a couple of times before she betrayed
Kyra decided to answer him and engage him in his question and answer section. Maybe in this way she will be able to get through to him. Ignoring his questions and trying to make him snap out of his head would only lead to their deaths faster. She could not let that happen. Speaking with him in this condition where she couldn't even breathe properly and felt like her heart would soon combust in her chest would be hard, but she needed to try her best.“I did not slap her, not because I did not want to obey you or something. I refused to slap her because I did not want any more trouble than what I’ve caused already.” Kyra told him as she began gasping loudly, trying to drag air into her lungs through her mouth. It was a difficult position to be in because she still had to use her mouth to speak.Kyra has elapsed into a state of shock when instead of him telling her to get down on her knees before Roselyn to apologize and beg for mercy, he did the opposite and asked for her to return Ros
Kyra did not know for how long she cried but through it all, Anton kept consoling her and telling her that she was fine. When there were no longer any tears in her eyes to cry, she kept on sniffing until she finally gathered the courage to raise her head from Anton’s chest and adjust her weak body in his arms so that she was sitting up.She could feel different prying eyes on her back but all her attention was on Anton who looked so relieved that she had stopped crying.“Are you okay now?”“Yes,” Her voice came out crooked, and her cheeks colored in embarrassment at the sound and at the fact that she cried in his arms. She cleared her throat and tried again, “I’m fine. Sorry about that.”She immediately began to wiggle so that she could get up from his lap, but Anton did not release her. She was not surprised at this because it has already occurred a number of times now. He wouldn’t let her go until he wanted to.“Kyra?” Alpha Anton called softly, but she could meet his gaze.“I’m fin
“What?” Kyra let out a loud gasp of surprise. Did he just ask her if she wanted him to give her a position in his pack just like that?“Do you want me to give you a position here,” he repeated, still playing with the strand of her hair, twisting it around his finger and releasing it, then repeating the process over and over again. He made it sound like giving her a position here was so easy, like it was not a big deal. It really wasn’t because he was the alpha and he could do anything he wanted.“No, please I don’t want any position in your pack,” No way was she going to let him raise her position when she’s already made up her mind to live low key. She was doing this for her baby rather than for herself. If she remained living in the background like a slave then soon enough everyone would forget that she existed and she would be left to live her life in peace.Today already showed her that she was unfit for the high society life like her father had always told her. All she had to do

“What do you want?” Kyra tilted her chin up to ask him, shoving down the stupid thought about hugging him.“What do I want?” Anton asked her as he stared down at her, “What I want is for you to explain what’s going on in this little head of yours. I can see your brain turning and calculating. I only said you belong to me, and you flared up.” He used his fingers to tap her forehead.“Nothing is going on in my head. I don’t like the fact that you said you own me. You don’t own people, you only own things.” “And if you bought that person with money?”Okay, Kyra did not know how to respond to him. What she could only say was, “My father did not have the right to sell me.” “But he did, didn’t he?” Anton asked her and a suffocating feeling filled Kyra’s chest at the question, making it difficult for her to breathe.“Let's drop this topic, shall we? I’m tired and I need to rest.”Anton immediately pulled away from Kyra causing her to sigh deeply in relief. “Yes, of course. With everything
The next morning, Kyra woke up because of a stomach upset and jumped out of bed. She rushed to the bathroom with her hand covering her mouth and her head tilted back. She fell down on the cold floor as she threw up in the toilet. Her insides felt like they wanted to rush up to her mouth as she continued to vomit. Her vomiting turned into dry heaving when there was morning more left in her stomach.When the worst of the spasms subsided, she leaned back on her knees, trying to control her irrational breathing. She’s only vomited a few times and experienced morning sickness when she first found out she was pregnant. It stopped as soon as she got here and she forgot about it until this morning again.Kyra used the back of her hand to clean off the sweat from her brows. Then, she slowly rose to her feet, moving slowly to the door. Only for her to get nauseous once more, causing her to run back to the toilet as she threw up once more. After a few minutes of torturing vomit, she flushed the
