All Chapters of Stuck between the Royal Wolves: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Raya BanksThe first thing I felt when I opened my eyes was pain, red hot, indescribable pain.Where the hell was I? “Ugh,” I groaned, screwing my eyes open and gritting my teeth to fall flat on my stomach, feeling the sizzle in my legs burn as they healed. I didn't remember being able to recover this fast, what was happening to me? I felt my teeth shift to the edge as the cold wind shuffled what sounded like trees around me so that I craned my head to squint at the grey darkness around me.It must be just past midnight because the night owls had stopped hooting and my ears filled with the sound of crickets singing instead. I remembered hiding out in the music room after Nikolai and I had kissed.I touched my cold fingers to my lips, tasting the forest dirt and blushing instead at the memory before realization seeped through my pores.I get my eyes to snap open when the distant voices of what sounded like a lot of men drifted to my ears and I crawled an inch on the soil, closing my

Nikolai“Alpha Tophas?” I gasped, barking out a harsh laugh when the blonde man nodded as I turned paths to waltz into the throne room instead, feeling anxiety claw inside me before digging my heels into the stone.“Says he wants a civil discussion.” Igor rasped and it was obvious he didn't believe it same as me.What the hell was he thinking? It was one scary thing about my brother, the way I could never seem to figure him out.“This should be interesting,” Igor chuckled humorlessly and I grunted.“Bring them in!” I ordered, inhaling a deep breath and crossing my arms behind my back just in time for the double doors to fly open as the two men trotted down the winding red carpet until they were standing almost below the dias where I was waiting, only a few feet between us.“What do you want old dog, make it quick, I have business to attend to,” I hissed coldly, crossing my arms solidly over my chest to glare back at the impeccably dressed man and his bulldog-looking guard.“I'm sure y

RAYA BANKSMy heart still hammered loudly in my ribs as I slammed the door shut behind me, slapping my back on the cool bronze of the door and struggling to breathe through my nose.The whirl of thoughts in my head was threatening to spiral out of control and I placed my hands on my temples to soothe the painful throb there.What to do? What to freaking do?The image of the redhead’s face flashed in my mind just as she raised the rock to bash me in the back. “The mirror, I need a mirror!” I gasped, feeling for the plastic buttons on my gown as I snapped open my dress, feeling goosebumps rise on my arm as I stared at the woman in the mirror, seeing the way I had paused with my hands still curved around the buttons, the top of my dress gaping open to reveal the bandages stained with old blood.I pressed a hand to my sides, marveling when I realized I didn't feel any pain, the bandages were useless now.I unwrapped the fabric, my eyes never leaving my frightened face in the mirror as I

RAYA BANKSI slammed my hand into my chest to keep my heart from bursting, stilling the shake in my hands as I gazed out over the window again as the doorknob rattled harder.“Oh God, oh god!” I whispered to myself, trying not to cry as my hands shook on the glass pane before I pushed it out, feeling a wave of vertigo hit before I brought my head back into the room, feeling fuzzy.I wrung open the huge dresser, raking my eyes through the shadow of clothes hung neatly on the railing and backing away to shake my head.What was I thinking? If I hid in the closet like an idiot, it was the first place Alpha Toph was sure to search, I couldn't do this, no, not there! I swung round to face the room again, noting, how the high gold bed was slightly ruffled and how the thumping at the door had gotten louder, followed by the creak of the bronze whining underneath, giving. “Shit,” I whispered, diving under the bed and scraping my cheek on the floorboard just I heard the crack of the door swingi

Raya BanksI wiped at the tears that stained my cheeks furiously as I ran through the dark hallways of Stone City Castle.“Excuse me,” I whispered blithely after I had almost run through the trio of maids that broke out suddenly from the corner of the corridor, feeling the force of their curious stares as they hesitated, their feet turning toward me before I rushed past.I already knew what they wanted to ask, “Are you alright Miss Raya? Are you harmed?” but I wasn't sure that I was, not with the emotions that were wracking through me.I had seen the look on Nikolai’s dashing face, the way his hands tightened to fists beside him, proved that everything the wicked Alpha had said was right.I traced my hands on the cool brick stone of the walls, feeling the strength humming through it and letting my eyes fall shut to steady the shake in my hands before I heard the thrall of voices again coming from up ahead.“Shit,” I whispered, sniffing loudly and glancing around the high dome ceiling
