Chapter 43
Shock
Concern.
Anger.
Or was it jealousy? It couldn’t possibly be! I just didn’t like sharing what was mine and that had nothing do with jealousy.
Brax nonchalantly announced his plans for a picnic with Kira, My maid! It felt like a swift kick to my gut. It felt insulting that he would dare to use what was mine without my permission and that was what made me mad, not anything else.
I never imagined my own brother would attempt to fraternize with the woman who had gradually burrowed her way into my thoughts, but there he was, a smug expression plastered across his face as he leaned against the wall with an air of entitlement.
“What, brother? Can’t I do as I please?” Brax asked, a sly grin spreading across his lips but it turned out that was just in my head. I got out of my own thoughts and asked him to repeat himself, ready to punch him if he said what I thought he said.
He looked worried and I hated that he was worried. She was none of his business. I didn’t get why he was worried about her. I didn’t need him to be worried about her and 1 felt like I was about to I explode.
“I thought she was here with you but I guess not but do you happen to know where she is?” he asked, concern all face. Concern that he had no right to be feeling over a woman that I had made clear was solely mine.
l over his
I could feel the rage boiling within me as I clenched my fists, my inner wolf snarling in agreement. “Kira is under my command,” I growled, locking my eyes with his “She’s off-limits My words seemed a little over the top and I knew it but I had already spat it out, there was no taking it back.
Brax simply raised an eyebrow, unfazed by my yelling when I was sort of expecting a showdown. I thought he would yell back at me and cause a scene and his calm disposition made me even more annoyed than I already was. Who was he to make me feel like a fool?
*But she’s just a maid, isn’t she? One who I can wine and dine if so choose?” he answered trying to sound smart.
His words served as the gasoline ignition the tiny spark of fury within me. Without another word, I spun on my heel and stormed out of the room, my hands balled into tight fists. I wasn’t going to fight over a woman. Especially not a woman like Kira. Not a woman that I made to be my **ve. Not a woman that was mated to Dax! I couldn’t be with her, it just made absolutely no sense and I had no business getting angry over something so trivial either.
Ever since Brax’s arrival, I had witnessed his sneaky gaze fixed on Kira, but I had never anticipated he would venture this far. Going on a f**ng picnic like he gut permission from me??! Inviting her to dinner? Spending time with her at the garden like they were friends now. I didn’t f**g get it! I had never seen her smile as wide as it was when she was hanging out with me and that didn’t sit well with me one bit! Not that I cared about who she chose to give her smiles to but I didn’t bring her here to make her happy and Brax was going against that. I didn’t want him hanging out around her or anyone for that
Since our night together, Kira had managed to captivate me in ways I couldn’t have imagined, and I refused to allow my brother to steal that away from me. Not that she was worth all that stress but I just didn’t want to share her. She was just good in bed, that was all. There was nothing to it. She was just a good little w**re and I was going to get tired of her eventually, I didn’t need to stress about her or the things that I wanted to do i her.
I was so mad that I wanted to see her and yell in her face. I was also really mad that I didn’t want her to even cross my path at all because it would make me even more mad.
As 1 barrelled through the palace halls, the guards gawking at me like it was their first time seeing me around the palace.
“Do you have news for me or are you going to keep staring at me like fools?! I don’t have the whole day and if you don’t start taking, you lots won’t last the whole day!” I was fuming and knowing fully well that I could easily, unquestionably go through with my threat and nothing would go wrong, they started to talk.
The news they delivered only made me feel even worse than I already felt. Kira had vanished without a trace. My wolf howled in frustration. Rage swiftly took the reins, its scorching heat flooding my veins as I commanded the guards to scour every inch of the pack until they found her. Spreading her legs for me and licking me clean then proceeding to flirt with my brother and proceed to disappear without a trace. What kind of game was she playing with me? What such trick did she think she had under her sleeve to do the things that she was doing?
“Get her a** back here alive! I barked out of them and they scurried out of my sight.
I explicitly ordered them to bring Kira back alive because my punishment for her daring escape would be severe.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
While they dispersed, I found solace in thoughts of the pain that awaited Kira upon her return. I was going to put her through so much. Her audacity in attempting to flee was clearly brazen act of defiance that I could not allow to go unpunished. Maybe I’d been to lax with her or perhaps she thought sleeping with me gave her some sort of power.
I conjured vivid images of her suffering at my hands, each one more wicked than the last.
As the minutes trickled by, the anger brewing in my chest started to dull leaving behind a weird sensation that nestled within my chest. The feeling was strange, a persistent ache that left me restless and somewhat disturbed.
My wolf paced the confines of my mind, mirroring the unease that plagued my thoughts. Seeking refuge, I retired to my chambers to get a little shut eye. I needed to clear my thoughts and rid my head of the **id ones.
Kira’s image still danced behind my closed eyelids, her fiery eyes and unwavering spirit haunting my every thought. The b**h didn’t want me to sleep.
Sleep eventually claimed me and somehow, even behind closed eyes, she managed to drag me into a nightmare that threatened to rip away the last shreds of my sanity. Kira was the prey, hunted by a pack of faceless men, and I was powerless to save her.
I jolted awake with a violent shake. The unease that had been gnawing at me all day had morphed into full-blown panic, sending my wolf into a frenzied state of unrest.
I found myself pacing the length of my room, propelled by an unexplainable force that seized my every nerve. An invisible thread connected me to Kira, a magnetic pull that demanded I find her. I Couldn’t explain it but I couldn’t ignore it either.
I had doubts that she would try to escape in the first place and knowing that something could actually be wrong with her and there could be people behind her disappearance made me more than a little unsettled. I didn’t know how but it felt like I could find her. Like I could feel her and I knew where she was even thought I had not she slightest idea where she was, I felt like I was about to go crazy with my heart beating like it was about to rip out of my chest and it was all just too unsettling. I hated the feeling of not being able to ignore the pain of one tiny insignificant woman. I hated it so much.
I frantically summoned a guard as I thought about finding something to wear but decided against it feeling like it was going to take too much of my time. I don’t know why I had this dream or if it was a dream or if it was juste dream that formed from all my thoughts and I was the one acting out of proportion
“Get the car and drive me.” I told the guard and he looked a little confused but he didn’t wait for me to repeat myself. “Where are we going sir?”
“I tell you to drive, you drive! Follow all my instructions.”
