Shh, little wolf Eight
Ivan’s POVI shook my head at the man’s hapless scream, the jarring sound searing straight to my skull and making it ring. I could feel a heading coming on, precipitated by my hunger. I needed to feed as soon as possible. It had been far too long since I had my last meal. It may only be twenty four hours but I can’t remember the last time I went without blood for even two. I nodded at Archer, my second of sorts and he stepped forward, placing the hot iron rod over the man’s thighs. He screamed again, voice hoarse from hours of misuse and struggled against the ropes that tied him tightly to the chair. I rolled my eyes at his screams and stalked up to him. Gripping his short chop of stringy hair, I yanked his head back glaring down at him.“Stop that fucking whining before I really hurt you!” I hissed. He sobbed but clamped down on his screaming, making pathetic little noises like some wounded rodent. I shoved his head away in disgust. “Please!” He rasped, practically hyperventilating

Kiara’s POV“So, when do we get down to the things I was supposed to take a look at here.” I asked Ivan over breakfast the next morning. I was the only one touching the real food; eggs and bacon with toast, even though I didn’t eat much. Ivan contended himself with a glass of warm red blood. I was at least grateful he had the decency to not take it from the source in front of me. For many reasons, I didn’t know how I would handle that. I know he’d heard me, we were seated too close together with him at the head and I at his immediate right, for him to not. Yet he ignored what I said, languidly sipping his blood. I rolled my eyes and picked at my food. The table was long enough to seat twenty but everywhere else was empty. Like it had been yesterday, there were several platters of food and with only two places set. I’d seen no one so far but the maid who had escorted me back here and even she had disappeared immediately after.Again, the unusual quiet unnerved me and I thought about

Kiara’s POVIvan had been behaving for the past hour which was entirely surprising considering how much he made it a point to get under my skin. Like he’d promised, I’d had a run in the woods and even though he’d watched me shift against my wishes, it had been wonderful. I felt more refreshed than I’d been in days. My wolf was relaxed enough that she didn’t even react at the closeness of Ivan’s body in the back seat of the car as we rode back towards his mansion. Okay, maybe she noticed a little bit, but at least I didn’t feel like physically combusting due to his presence. I considered that a phenomenal win. The car stopped in front of the mansion and his driver opened his door. He stepped out and held out a hand for me. Rolling my eyes, I ignored his hand and slipped past him, the chuckle he let out as I walked ahead reverberating down my spine. I pulled short when I heard voices at the entrance, turning to Ivan with wide eyes. He strode towards me, hands in pockets and bent till

Kiara’s POV“So did he lock you up?” Caden asked from the other end of the face time. I shook my head. “I’m the one who didn’t want to go out. This place is crawling with vampires. I’m trying to do everything in my power to avoid them. I mean one of Ivan’s girlfriend’s almost attacked me the other day!” His eyes widened. “Almost attacked you? What happened?” I scoffed “Let’s just say my training paid off and I didn’t get jumped in my sleep.” Maybe I exaggerated a little bit, but everything else I was telling Caden was right on par. It was the evening of the next day and I had been bringing Caden up to speed on what had been happening here since I came. “Damn.” He muttered. “Yeah. It’s an absolute nightmare down here. And you should have seen them feeding on their victims. Those poor women.”“Were they humans or werewolves?”“Humans from what I could tell. So far, I seem to be the only wolf here.” That was another thing I worried about in light of Ivan’s threat. Wolves were social

Kiara’s POVI was bored, idly scrolling through my phone as a result of it, when I heard a startling scream. It was loud and piercing, jarring enough to have me nearly drop my phone in surprise. After fumbling with and preventing my only connection to the outside world right now from toppling to its doom on the floor, I sat up near the edge of the bed, eyes narrowed at the now quiet air. I gave it another minute, but the mansion was silent as usual. I went back to my phone, opening a particularly funny meme from Caden that had me chuckling, before the screams came again. So high and filled with pain that I was out of my bed in seconds, the phone abandoned on my bed. I reached from the door and pulled it open to see Lucille standing there with a maid behind her, as if she’d been waiting to catch me right at that moment. I glared at her. She smiled back. “No need to worry about those pesky little screams.”She stalked passed me into my room without invitation, the maid following beh

Kiara’s POVIt was the middle of the night and my two─captors? Guard details? I didn’t even know what to call them─ were soundly asleep on the bed. I found it a bit surprising their lack of vigilance but I wasn’t one to look gift horses in the mouth so I didn’t question it. After making certain Lucille was deeply asleep, I opened the door as quietly as I could and snuck out. Unfortunately for me, the driver was standing in front of our door, as if keeping guard. I cursed silently and tried not to act suspicious. “Hey there.”“Sorry ma’am but you’re not allowed to leave the room.”“Aw really? I’m just really restless and could do with a run right now.”He frowned. “Yeah but the King doesn’t want you guys out of the room. Especially at nights.”I pouted. “It’s just a run. I swear it. Those Vamps in there can stand the idleness but I’m a werewolf. I was born for the moonlight.” There wasn’t a full moon out tonight, but this guy was human so I hoped he wouldn’t be too particular about

Kiara’s POVMy back was flat against the wall, arms pinned up above my head by a long, muscled hand that clamped firmly about my wrist. I glared up at Ivan, his gray eyes darkening with the silver strands of his salt and pepper hair falling all over his eyes. He was beautiful, a realization all over again that made my heart squeeze and my loins clench. “Let me go.” I gritted out without much heat. Instead, need curled deep in my belly, tightening when he chuckled lowly and licked my earlobe. A gasp rang out of me, then a moan when he pulled the tissue into his mouth and bit down lightly. “Ivan!” I said in a breathy moan, squirming under his hands even he pressed tighter against me. His breath tickled my earlobe, the warm sensation sending a trail of blazing heat down my spine. “You want me, don’t you?” He whispered hotly. I moaned in response, pressing my lower half against him and trying my best to rock. “You want me as much as I want you.” He breathed, running his free hand ove

Kiara’s POVIt had been five days since I was brought to the motel and I was frustrated. I was itching with the urge to go for a run, my wolf restless due to how long I’d had to keep her locked up. It was Ivan’s fault. He and his insistence to keep me on constant lockdown meant I’d had very little opportunity to stretch my human legs much less my wolf ones. Speaking of Ivan, I hadn’t even seen him since the day I’d had those incredibly vivid dreams. Lucille was being extremely tight-lipped about where he was or what he was doing. I couldn’t decide if it was because she was just a bitch or because he told her not to tell me, but I knew I didn’t like it. Lucille herself was often absent come to think of it. Especially at nights. The maid meanwhile was almost always attached to my side, especially during the day. She never let me out of her sight and had even attempted to follow me once to the bathroom. I had to draw a firm line there. It wasn’t like there was any window for me to ev

Shh, little wolf Forty
Kiara’s POVI went to find my father immediately after his meeting with Ivan was over, not just curious, but anxious to find out what consensus had been reached. He didn’t seem surprised to see me, only letting out an exasperated sigh and gesturing for me to take a seat on the other side of his desk.“Well?” I said even before my ass had touched the chair. “What did you guys decide?”My father shrugged. “That he’ll return back to his manor and you’ll remain here with your family until such a time when you are interested in being with your mate.”I paused, my eyes bugging wide, disbelief coloring every inch of my features.“I’m sorry, what?” I said, shocked that such a thing was even possible. My father gave me a deadpan look.“You’re serious? Ivan really left like that?”I asked with a frown. I’d never known dad to be anything but concerning official affairs, but the thing he just said was so at odds with what I knew about the Vampire King that I immediately suspected foul play. Dad s

Ivan’s POVI stared coolly at Damien and the man stared back. Kiara hovered a few steps away from us, glancing nervously between us both.We were in his immaculately furnished study, having been summoned there by a maid after we had the refreshments Amelia provided. I respected their willingness to at least feed us before engaging in this confrontation. It would have sucked to do this with a headache caused by blood starvation.“Kiara. Leave us.” Damien rumbled lowly and predictably enough, she tried to argue with him, only cutting off when he sent her a glare.I chuckled, glad to see she wasn’t this combative with me alone and watched her with an amused, if slightly hungry gaze as she left the room. I was aware that Damien was watching me watch his daughter, but after missing her for more than forty eight hours, it was hard to let her out of my sight.I hadn’t expected her to give up on witnessing the discussion I was about to have with her father so easily but I needn’t have bothere
Shh, little wolf Thirty-Eight
Kiara’s POVI scarfed down my food, barely managing to chew it completely before swallowing and stuffing my mouth with the next morsel. Conversation flowed around me but I ignored it all in favor of stuffing my mouth full with pasta and some heavenly meatballs.“Kiara come on. You’ll choke on that. You have got to slow down.”I slurped on the last of the spaghetti strands in my mouth and swallowed most of it before attempting to speak.“I wasn’t able to catch dinner last night.” I sent my mom a pointed look from across the table where she sat “Somebody held me up last night.”Mom primly dabbed at the corner of her mouth with a napkin.“Yes, it’s not because you went out for a two hour run and missed dinner is it?”She snarked back in such a haughty tone that I rolled my eyes. Deciding that I was too hungry to push the issue, I refocused my attention on my plate and kept leveling it down.Everyone was at the dining table, including my dad, Caden’s dad and both our moms. There were even
Shh, little wolf Thirty-Seven
Kiara’s POVThere was someone in my room and it wasn’t any of the wolves I lived with. I lay completely still, keeping my eyes tightly shut and trying to make sure my breathing remained even.It was night time and everyone in the manor was fast asleep. Except for the intruder. And now me.I tried to think quickly of what I could do to get out of this potentially dangerous situation. My dagger was all the way over on the table at the far end of the room and I silently cursed myself for being so careless with my weapon when I was expecting something like this to happen.The person crept to my bed without making so much as a sound. I felt rather than heard the presence hovering above me. I waited, holding my breath until he came close enough and then I sprung into action.Pulling his hand, I dragged him down to the bed and flipped him before he hit the mattress so that he landed on his back with a grunt. In another moment, my hand was around his throat and I squeezed tightly, ignoring his

Kiara’s POV“Kiara? Kiara! Wake up!” I heard from deep within my slumber. I groaned and rolled over, not wanting to stop the Ivan filled dream I was having.I’d barely resettled into position when my warm duvet was suddenly ripped off my body.“Kiara Hudson! You get out of that bed this instant!” My mom yelling right over me was the last straw. The pleasant dream I’d been having disappeared in a flash as I was pulled back into the reality of wakefulness.“Mom. Come on. Five more minutes.” I whined much liked Caden had with me just yesterday. Unlike me however, my mom was not so benevolent.“No. Get your lazy behind up and get ready so we can go out.”“If you’re trying to rope me into another shopping trip you can forget it. I need to sleep.”I groaned and felt around my feet for the duvet, keeping my eyes closed in an attempt to trick my brain into falling back asleep.My mother smacked my hands away.“Ow!” I whined, eyes flying open to glare at her.She raised a brow “It wasn’t a requ

Kiara’s POV“Savez, come on. Keep your hands high enough so you can parry his thrust and block. Otherwise you’ll end up with a slit throat before we’re done here!”I yelled at one of the sparring groups currently battling fiercely on the training ground.The man in question did as I asked, holding his sword a bit higher and parrying his opponent’s next jab way more fluidly.“Good.” I grunted, moving past their group to the next.This pair were clearly still a bit green about the ears. It was clear from the way the awkwardly held their swords, as if it was too big for them. It made their knife clanging lack any power, force or even proper direction.I stepped up to them amused.“Grip it firmly, don’t clutch it like that.” I said helping one of the boys fix his fingers properly.The other mirrored the new position while the one I’d physically corrected flushed bright red. He looked shyly at me from under his lashes and I snorted. He could barely hold his sword up. What made him think he
Shh, little wolf Thirty-Four
Ivan’s POVI paced back and forth the length of my study, hands clamped behind my back, cursing ever so often and kicking at any of the poor furniture that got in my way. Lilith sat on one of the visitor’s chair, watching me pensively. Forty eight hours. It had been forty eight goddamn hours since I last saw her. I was going crazy.Was she thinking about me? The way I thought about her? This obsessive, compulsive and almost destructive way? Where was she right now? Was she laughing and happy? While I writhed here in agony, wasting away for all she cared? Was she with that stupid little werewolf friend of hers who touched her far too familiarly in ways that made me want to rip his arms off? All I’d done since she got here was spoil her. So why the fuck was she not here!“Goddamit!” I swore, exploding all of a sudden and whirling around to face her.“I can’t take it anymore. I need her back! Today!”“Ivan. Come on. You can give her a bit more time. You’re acting like two weeks when it’s
Shh, little wolf Thirty-Three
Kiara’s POVI drew open the curtains the window letting light filter into my room, the golden rays falling directly on the bed where Caden slept. He scrunched his face up in his sleep before simply turning to the other side and pulling the duvet over his face. Amused an undeterred, I marched to the bed, pulling the duvet off him. “Hey. No fair.” He grumbled sleepily. “Yes it is. It’s already past ten AM.” He grumbled something that sounded suspiciously like an insult and then chucked a pillow at me. I laughed, easily dodging it. “Your pillow tricks won’t work on me. Get the hell up.”“Come on mom. Five more minutes.”I let out an exaggerated sigh “Fine.” I said benevolently. I’d had my bath when he slept and even dried my hair. I was almost fully dress when I tried to wake him and he still didn’t budge. Most of my good clothes were abandoned at Ivan’s mansion so all I was left with in my closet were the not so nice ones. I put on a T-shirt over my faded jeans and pulled my hair i
Shh, little wolf Thirty-Two
Ivan’s POVI leaned against the back of my chair, thoroughly amused despite myself not to mention a tad impressed at my woman. My sweet, fiery Kiara. She didn’t cease to amaze me that wolf. Just when I thought I had all my bases covered and there was no way she could possibly get around them, she went ahead and did exactly that. I wasn’t sure why she insisted on playing this cat and mouse game but I couldn’t say I wasn’t intrigued. After all, I did so love to chase. She couldn’t possibly think I would let her escape that easily could she? Surely she knows I will be coming after her, very soon too. I wondered how she would react to the plans I was making to get her back. The thought of her cute face, scrunched up in a scowl and alight with fury made me chuckle. I couldn’t wait to see what she did. A frown marred my face when I thought of the man who had helped her escape. A growl neigh left my lips. He was a problem I didn’t appreciate. In other words I fucking hated his guts. He’
