Kiara’s POV“Are you forcing me to marry him?” I asked my father when he did not drop the subject of Alpha Ralph’s son. Dad ran a hand through his thick dark hair that had started to gray at the temples and gave me an exasperated look.“Of course, we’re not forcing you. It’s just…” He trailed off and shared a look with my mother. They had been doing that for the past couple of weeks now. Sharing worried looks about me. Part of me knew they’d never force me to wed anyone but with the way things were… I’d had a seed of doubt. My shoulders relaxed once more but not quite, because there was still that worried furrow in his brows. A trace of anxiousness in my mother's face that she didn’t quite hide no matter how well she tried to. “I’m not marrying Clifford Brent. I don’t care if you’ve been best friends with his father for years!” “Raphl and I aren’t best─”“Dad!” I glared pointedly at him and with a long-suffering sigh, he picked up the file in front of us and dumped it into the ‘per

Kiara’s POVThe first thing that flashed in my mind when my eyes opened was that this wasn’t home. I was in a thin, narrow bed that was just enough to fit me. It was dim, the room so small and stuffy that I felt immediately claustrophobic. My head was banging like crazy and it worsened when I tried to sit up. My mind was a bit foggy but I was conscious enough to know I was in a strange place and probably in some sort of danger. I did my best to clear the cobwebs from my head and blinked at the simple, cluttered room I was in. There were only two doors, both of which I would be testing the moment I could feel my legs properly. Furniture was sparse except for a table with an empty bowl and the chair in the corner─I gasped at the dark steely eyes that bored into me. In the poor lighting, I couldn’t exactly make out their color, but the look in them, the expression on that handsome face made my heart race and my stomach clench and not out of fear. His salt and pepper-colored hair was

Kiara’s POVI ignored his question, stomping over to my bed and dragging his sneaker-covered foot off my sheets. “Caden!” I growled and he raised his hands in surrender. “Sorry! Sorry! I was worried!”I rolled my eyes. “And that’s why your dirty shoes just HAD to be on my bed?”His smile was sheepish. “Well, I had to be comfortable while waiting for you. Do you know the lies I had to come up with to get the Luna off your tail? You would’ve been wolf-kebab by now if not for me!” I rolled my eyes again and went to the bathroom to change out of my clothes and into my nightwear. I could smell him on my shirt. I touched a hand to the spot on my neck where he’d bit me. To my relief and frustrating disappointment, there was nothing there. Not even a scar to remember it by, almost like it never happened. Caden wouldn’t shut up about wanting to know where I was, and I myself wanted to talk about this shocking development with somebody, so when I got back into the room, I climbed the bed an

Kiara’s POVIt was almost midnight and I was restless as hell. The urge to run was crazy, my wolf felt as uncontrollable as it had during my first full moon. The ball was in high gear, with guests dancing on the floor, bellies full, and drinks flowing through the room. Everyone seemed to be having fun, except me who seemed to be here only in body. My mind and soul seemed to be miles away in the heart of the forest and my body craved to meet them in earnest. Hands clamped around my shoulders from behind and I let out a squeal. A familiar masculine laugh came from behind me and my father turned me around and wished me yet another happy birthday with a big hug. I returned his hug weakly, trying to calm my racing heart. “Thanks, Dad.” I tried to paste on a smile but his laugh died down and he examined my face carefully. “Hey kiddo, you good?”I swallowed and nodded then thought better of it. Wouldn’t it be best to just let him know? I’ve always been able to talk about almost anything

Kiara’s POV“Oh hell no,” I exclaimed rather vehemently, rising to my feet and glaring at my father. “No way in hell is that happening!” I fumed, incredulous as to how we’d even gotten here so quickly. Dad sat straighter in his seat and sent a sideways glance toward the seat next to me, a direction I was trying desperately to ignore. “Kiara Hudson, What has gotten into you? Sit down!” He glared up at me. Grumbling under my breath, I returned to my seat, folding my hands across my chest and looking the other way, resentment, panic, and worst of all, desire, burning their way through my every sense. “You have been extremely rude this entire meeting and I can no longer ignore it. What’s gotten into you? We’re simply lucky the Clan King has not taken offense at any of your impertinence.” Offense my ass! He was the one in the wrong here and judging from the smug smile on his face at my barely concealed insults and huffs of disapproval, he knew it. I’d managed not to cuss him out after

Kiara’s POV“Dad. Come on. Do I really have to go?”Dad sighed and ran a hand over his face. “Yes Kiara. For the thousandth time. You do have to go. Come on. Please? For me?”I pouted and crossed my hands over my chest “Oh that’s just not playing fair.”He laughed. “We’ll you’ve not exactly being fighting fair yourself, missy. Giving me those puppy dog eyes since yesterday. It’s just gonna be for a week and then you’ll be back.”One week. An entire week. Alone. With him. Speak of the devil, Ivan strode towards us, hand in pockets. “Alright Damien. We have to get going if we wanna catch up with our appointments. Don’t worry, your daughter will be completely safe with me.”Dad gave him a look of utter seriousness. “She’d better be. Or the two of us will be having a less cordial interaction when next we see. Ivan merely smiled, revealing his fangs and turned to me. “Ready?”Ignoring him, I turned fully to face my dad. “Tell mom I love her and not to worry too much about me. Okay?”It wa

Kiara’s POVTwo hours later, Ivan had still not returned. My phone died shortly after he left and though there was power, my bags had yet to be brought up so I couldn’t plug it back on. I was bored but not enough to risk wandering outside the room at this time of the night when there were Vampires crawling all over this place. To make matters worse, I hadn’t eaten anything since breakfast this morning. As a result, I was famished. Trust Ivan to be so inhospitable. Leaving me without food and locking me alone for two hours! I scoffed. Did he even have normal food in this place? Or did he get by on the blood of innocents and expect us all to do the same? I twiddled my thumbs for another hour before I could no longer tolerate the wait. How busy was he that he couldn’t at least check to make sure I had everything I needed. Like my fucking bags, especially when he’d all but barred me from coming out. Hopping from the bed, I went to the door, opening it, and creeping out into the hallwa

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
