She pushed herself lower, trying to push herself into his face, but he was on his feet again with her panties in his hand… that he shoved into her mouth.
“Be quiet.” He whispered slightly against her ear. A rough intake of breath made him pause. “Remain quiet, please.”
It almost sounded like he was begging because he was afraid that her pleas would be too powerful for him to resist. Like he was scared that giving in would build things that he didn't want for them to come to existence.
Besides, he had learnt that Aniya considered things differently from his kind. Would she be alright with him doing this once the effect of the blood passes or would her reaction be otherwise.
It was hard to tell.
Her muffled pleas floated through his ears again and he balled his fists at either side, then he turned away from her and just like that, he was retreating to the door.
Aniya’s breath quickened, feeling how much was left undone, unexplored! The need in her veins drove her to acquire anything that would satiate it.
But he was leaving?
What?!
Her muffled sounds increased as she struggled with her hands that had been tied to the headboard of the bed, struggling to free them from the grip.
What was she going to do with all this—
The door slammed shut.
And she screamed and she screamed for him to come back.

Ikrus stepped out of the room at the same moment Oana was rushing back from the Temple. Her plea had been denied but seeing her brother stepping out of Aniya's room made her feel better.
He must have done something.
She was definitely safe and alive now.
Ikrus’ anger was something she hadn't anticipated though and something she rarely had directed at her.
“Is this another tactic for you to bring things back to the way they were? By harming her? How dare you?”
“Goldie attacked her,” Oana blurted.
The statement was partly true.
Ikrus’ frown deepened and he took a step in the direction of the staircase that led below the hallway. The chains on him were far too numerous that they clanked as he moved.
“I’m going to kill Goldie.”
Oana quickly held fist arm, stopping him. “No, please! It was my fault. I made her join the game.”
Fivally, the truth.
Ikrus sensed it too and his eyes darkened with anger.
“Shall I kill you then?”
She froze for a second then took a fearful step back.
He looked like he meant it and fear poured into her lungs.
Nothing had ever driven a wedge as huge as this between them before. It broke her heart.
This wasn't good.
Something in the corner of her mind blamed Aniya. It was like Goldie was speaking in her mind.
“Brother?”
“You have been warned.” He rested his hand on her shoulder and she froze until he started speaking and she understood that he wasn't going to harm her. “You are precious to me.” He patted her hair affectionately before making her look up at him as he gave her a stern gaze. “Darling sister, do not make me punish you.”
She nodded in jerky movements, then his hand slipped away from her face but just as he was about to leave, some guards rushed to him, pushing the one with the scroll forward.
Ikrus scoffed.
What was this about?
So his father had heard of his escape and had thought about this and said to himself, ‘a scroll shall bring him back into the confines of that hellish dungeon?’
But contrary to his thoughts, the order on the scroll wasn't to pull him back to the dungeon but to declare his innocence and now acquired freedom.
Immediately they were done, they bolted off.
Now what was the Alpha up to this time?

Oana stepped into the room after that to find Aniya tied to the bed and her panties stuffed into her mouth.
Quickly she helped her out of her bondage and Aniya slipped her panties back on, annoyed and embarrassed for her lack of control and display of thirsty desire.
But one thing she also felt was anger at Oana for making this happen to her in the first place. So immediately she slipped on her panties, Aniya swept her hand across her face.
Oana was stunned and did the same thing, knocking Aniya off the bed.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry,” Oana said as she tried to help her up but Aniya used that moment to retaliate with a slap, leaving Oana stunned for a second.
Oana expressed her heartfelt apology, while promising her protection from that moment on.
“But there is no amount of protection you can get from me that would be as much as one you would get from carrying the Alpha’s child.”
Aniya blinked.
This cannot be happening. By Ignas, this cannot be happening to her again.
Oana didn't notice the slight shift in Aniya's expression, so she just went on with her explanation.
“The life of a pup is sacred and when it carries within it the Alpha’s blood, it is even more important.” With a knowing and suggestive look, she added, “you know what you must do.”
Aniya frowned.
Was the Princess trying to get her into the bed of the Alpha?
Of her Father?!
