Regan POV
When I woke up to Zirah gone, for a split second I thought she left me. Panic spread throughout my entire body, so the relief upon finding her was immense. However, that is short-lived after my uncle added his opinion to the mix. Yes, I wanted her to finish the marriage trials, yet I never bargained for her to come to the kingdom, why can't it be held here. This is technically her home, after all. I had no such qualms when I didn't know she was my mate about her coming to my kingdom, it would have driven her away yet now the thought of losing her has me dying inside, and she hasn't yet. How bad would it feel if I actually did lose her when I just got her. What happens when she realizes I am truly the monster they say I am.
"Who did you say your uncle was again?" she asks me. A man who knows too much, I think bitterly.
"Weird is what he is," Zeke says, coming up behind us. I glare at him as he moves to fall in line with her. Zirah says nothing, just sighs heavily like she is bored with Zeke already.
"You're so fucked if she agrees to continue the game," Zeke laughs through the mind-link. I growl back at him, not realizing I also growled out loud. Zirah glances at me then stops abruptly, glancing between us both. "It's no longer a fucking game," I warn him through the mind-link.
"Never mind them, Love ,sibling rivalry and all.” Lyon purrs, dropping his hands on her shoulders.
"What's no longer a game?" Zirah asks abruptly, making us all jump, when she's using the mind-link that she should not have access too. I haven't marked her yet.
"Wow, this is a weird sensation," she adds. I shove her out and Zeke smirks.
"Seems our little witch hybrid is a fast learner," Zeke taunts us. I can feel her trying to open the link again, yet I keep her effectively blocked. "Obviously not that fast because you blocked me," she says, shooting me a glare.
"No secrets, you want me to continue the game, I don't want any of you hiding shit from me," she growls, stomping off. Our wolves chasing after their master. Because, let's face it, now I think they'll turn on us instantly if she wishes. I jog to catch up to her. For someone small, she can surely move when pissed off. I catch her on the stairs, lacing my fingers through hers, but she jerks her hand away.
"I am not a prize to be won," she snarls.
"You eavesdropped too early," I tell her. She glances over her shoulder at Zeke and Lyon, who are following and watching us.
"Then what did he say that angered you?"
My breath hitches in my throat as a wave of desire crashes into me, watching Zirah, climb on top of my bed amongst the pile of fur blankets and pillows. She looks like an angelic entity, bound directly to the throne of God or perhaps the entrance of Hades.
I find her irreplaceable, an intoxicating mix of divinity and danger that holds me willingly captive. Yet when I see Gnash following her along with his brothers, I can't help but smirk.
"No, you take up too much room," she whines when all three wolves pounce onto the bed. She huffs, "Well, his bed is bigger, I guess it's okay then," she coos, scratching Hunter's head. Turning back to the fire I was supposed to be building, I wonder how my brothers are coping without their wolves, not having Gnash is like having a limb removed, yet I rather her protected.
“Regan,” she finally breaks the silence, her voice soft and curious. "Are you lighting it or staring at it?" she asks, shaking me once again out of my thoughts. She flicks her fingers, fire shoots past me, and I jump, the flames smash the logs and send flames up the chimney in a roar when she giggles. I peer over at her, and she looks at me innocently.
