I was disappointed, but I tried not to let it show.
“I will permanently change your wardrobe. No more se xy outfits for you,” he said and picked up his shirt.
“Are you afraid I might turn you on, and you will lose control?” I asked with a daring tone, and he looked at me and smiled.
“Green eyes, you are already mine,” he said, and I growled at him out of frustration. Monica was at the forefront, and I knew he could see my wolf eyes too.
It wasn’t okay to mess with people like this.
“Be a good girl, and I will reward you” he said with a smirk and left the room. He had disrupted my breakfast for nothing. He had also figured out the lipstick got to me.
I got off the bed and decided to change my outfit. I wore shorts and a t- shirt. When I was done, I remembered the letter I wanted to mail to Casey, and I took it out of my dresser to head back to breakfast.
To my surprise, Darius was there as if nothing had happened. I was mad at him, so I tried to sit next to Eloise, but Raphael did not allow it, and he made me sit next to Darius.
“Don’t you feel better?” He asked, and I did not bother to answer. I was angry. I ate quietly, and when we were done, he got up to leave, so I followed him.
“Darius,” I called in the hallway, and he turned to look at me.

“I do not mean to abuse your hospitality or your kindness. Please do not see my request as an act of defiance or as taking you for granted,” I said, and he frowned at me. I knew what I was about to ask him to do might not be welcomed.
“Please help me mail this later to Caseynardo. You can read its content. It poses no security threat. I am just asking him to move on.” I said quickly, and his eyes darkened. He held my arm and made me follow him to his office.
The moment the door was shut, he looked at me angrily.
“Do not abuse the privilege, Zora. No one is allowed to communicate with their loved ones here. That is precisely the point. I will not make exceptions for you,” he said, and my heart broke a bit because I did not feel I was asking for too much. I just wanted to say goodbye.
“Other trophies were actively given to you, so they said their goodbyes to their loved ones. He was unconscious when they took me away.” I said
with tears.
“How am I sure it is not a secret code? How am I sure you are not giving him information about the north? About me?” He asked me, and I knew
he wouldn’t bend on this one.
“I am sorry I asked. It won’t happen again,” I said, folded the letter, and put it in my pocket.
“May I be excused?” I asked.
“You did not answer my question,” he said, and I took out the letter and handed it to him.
“Read it and decide for yourself. I am sure you have code geniuses here; they can tell you if I am selling secrets or not,” I said, and he opened the letter to read it. I could see shame in his eyes when he was through. I figured he had trust issues.

“Very well, I will send it to him, but no more, and no one must know of this,” he warned, and I nodded and thanked him. Whether I liked it or not, however kind he was and however comfortable the place was, I was still a prisoner of war.
‘Horse riding is in an hour; meet me at the stables.” He said, and I nodded.
[ was grateful that he agreed to send the letter.
I left his office and headed to my room.
On my way, I bumped into the annoying Cindy and her friends. She was behaving like a child.
“Alpha couldn’t stand seeing your hideous body, so he told you to cover up.” she teased, looking at what I was wearing and ignoring the fact that they were his clothes. I tried to walk away, but they blocked me. I really wasn’t in the mood for this.
“I sent you a message on his cheek this morning. Did you get it?” She asked me, and I did not respond.
“Do you want to know how it got there?” She asked, and I heard a growl behind me. I did not need to guess who it was.
“Cindy! in my office now!” Darius growled, and I started walking away quickly.
I did not want to imagine what they would do there together.
After what happened with Casey, I should have had a thick skin, but Darius got to me. I did not know why but he got to me.
I moved quickly into my room and felt jealous over him for the first time.
I knew I was grieving, but I could not understand why he always controlled himself around me. It made me feel unattractive.

It should be the least of my worries, but I was petty like that, thanks to the fact that I had nothing to do and I sat in a castle idle all day.
Once it was time to meet him at the stables, I headed there. I hoped to see many people, but it was just him and two horses. He walked to me smiling. He was all decked up and ready. He handed me what to wear, and I thanked him. I was still mad about Cindy, but I kept it to myself. I might end up punishing him for it.
“Do you know how to ride?” he asked me, and as much as I tried to get my mind out of the gutter with that question, my mind was rolling in it.
“Of course,” I said, and he laughed, knowing exactly what I meant.
