IRISHThis was the only name which failed to disappear from Adrian's mind ever since he left her behind and went to work, and the only name that rang a bell in his head till he gave out the command."Carson, turn the car now. Take me back to the mansion." Adrian's voice was low, yet yielding so much authority that Carson felt his hands moving following every single word that fell off Adrian's lips.As the speeding car ran on its tires, Adrian steadily tapped his foot on the ground, his eyebrows raised, a look of unease settling on his features.Fishing out his phone from his suitcase, he unlocked it, only to stare at the lock screen before looking out the window. This was the secret he kept from everyone else. It was the fact that merely staring at Irish brought him peace.Was that supposed to calm him?Yes. It usually did, but today, he wasn't himself. Not when Irish was being tortured right in his house.A heavy lump settled in his throat which refused to go away. And even when he s
On getting to the hospital, Adrian sprang out of the car like a maniac.He carried Irish's frail body and ran to the emergency department of the hospital. When he got there, all the nurses and doctors were pretty occupied, attending to either accident victims, or people that got affected by gunshot. But all Adrian cared about was Irish."Fucking attend to her." Adrian grabbed a doctor by the collar and put Irish into his arms.His voice cried out in desperation. "She needs to survive. Doctor. Please save her, or I won't be able to forgive myself." There were no tears in his eyes, not because he didn't feel like shedding them but because he wasn't used to letting his emotions show.All that sat on his face was a neutral expression. It was neither a scowl nor anything funny."Alpha. She'll be fine. I'll see to that." The doctor said and laid Irish on a stretcher before calling for the help of other nurses before they rolled her away.As Adrian uneasily trotted the corridors, waiting im
"What...doctor what do you mean. Can you speak...speak in clear terms?" Adrian stuttered, cocking his head to the side as he tried to decipher the doctor's words.His eyebrows knitted as worry lines sat in them.He wanted her to live, he wanted that so badly that his breath hitched in his throat, his fist clenching so tightly that his fangs almost shot out.His hurt turned to anger and he suddenly wanted to take it all out on the doctor, but he knew better. The doctor must have tried his best to save her life.The doctor's eyes were still fixed on his fangs as he stuttered, "The patient is fine and will soon be out of the intensive care unit, but the baby...is in danger and we might be forced to choose between baby and mother."Adrian let out a breath of relief he didn't know he was holding.At least, it wasn't Irish's life after all.Just then, the fact struck his senses. He had wanted Irish from day one because she was to be his breeder. This was his aim together with Ashley.He was
"Alpha, we got a leading information on who caused the accident." An urgent tone resounded from the other end, causing Adrian to loosen his grip on Ashley's wrists, his focus, shifting to the caller as his frown deepened in concentration.Jaw ticking, Adrian turned away, his eyes a fiery red flame."We must make sure to get to the end of this. When we find whoever tried to hurt our mate..." Orion paused, his anger simmering right below the surface before he continued."...you must let me tear them. Limb. To. Limb." Adrian could feel Orion's urge to bare his teeth and fangs while tearing the sorry victim apart.It took a great deal of effort to concentrate back on the voice speaking through the phone."What information?" Adrian demanded."One of the hummers had a tracker. We managed to hack and decode their system and we are keeping tabs on the address. Will inform you when everything is ready." "Good. Leave no stone unturned. And don't disappoint me." Adrian nearly snapped before end
As Adrian left his office, the wristwatch on his wrist vibrated and instinctively, he raised his hand to stare at his LED watch.Squinting his eyes, he frowned the moment he read the message sent by his male personal assistant.The reason for his frown was not just that he had to attend an emergency conference meeting but that it was almost closing hours, and his fear of dirt - Mysophobia, would cause him to take a fresh shower before attending the meeting.Irish had kneeled him, stepping on him in the process.The meeting would last an hour but it was an impactful one which worth several millions.With such a meeting in mind, Adrian dashed into his office, and then quickly entered into the restroom in his office.Irish's eyes followed Adrian's movement as she watched him dart behind a strange door she hadn't yet noticed.A few minutes later, the automatic door glided open, causing Irish to look up in that direction.Seeing Ashley, Irish jolted forward as a gasp escaped her lips the
Irish's heart wasn't the only one hammering against her ribcage.Their closeness, too, was leaving Adrian breathless, intoxicated even. His lashes lowered and fluttered. It felt like a jinx, like an enchantment, everything about the smoothness of her skin and the way she slightly parted her lips, her sexy immaculate teeth on half display, drawing him to her like magnets.Cocking his head with the desire to shove his tongue in her mouth filling his veins, Adrian's eyes darkened the more, this time with intense desire.There were no words spoken but the energy emitted by their skin-to-skin contact spoke a million words.Seeing how he stared down at her like he couldn't simply get enough, coupled with the need to rebel against Ashley who stayed just a few walls away, that cocky part of Irish arose.Her hands glided across his slimy back as she took quick seconds to caress his muscled back.Her soft fingers trailed and sooner than expected, it sparked a generous reaction from Adrian.A m
The next morning, Irish awakened with sunshine on her face, giving her that perfectly tanned skin shade. Springing to her feet, she yawned and stretched out her arms. For the first time in months, she felt happy. No, she rather felt fulfilled, perhaps happy was not the word. A smile crept up her lips, her inner wolf, wagging its tail in excitement of such intimacy with their mate. "You should do that often with our mate. Our baby's gonna be healthier." Elsa remarked naughtily. "Don't be naughty Elsa, we should be worried about what Ashley wants to do next. I'm an obvious threat now." "Might as well snatch our mate from the hands of that witch." A knock was rasped on the door, disrupting Irish's little conversation with her wolf. Her chin lifted upward, as she told the person at the door to come in. Seeing it was Nora, Irish came down from the bed, sliding her legs into the flip-flops. "Nora, how are you?" Ever since the last incident, all the servants in the house s
Irish paced back and forth in her room, before collapsing with her back, on the bed. The bed made a creaking sound but she couldn't care less."What has gotten into me?" Irish asked herself as she lifted her hand to her face, using her shaky palm to cover her face.Ever since Nora released the news of her being murdered by Ashley in three days, she had not slept a wink.Irish feared for her life. For the life of her unborn baby.Time seemed to fly so fast ever since then and she wished it could crawl slower.Turning her face to the left, Irish sighed softly. On a table, lay her food untouched. Cynthia had come to give her food but she didn't touch it yet.To make no one suspect that she was not eating it, she had not left her room the whole day. When Cynthia's cat pet entered the room, Irish had pleaded that the animal be left behind.After feeding a few spoons of the soup to the cat when Cynthia left, Irish discovered to her amazement that the cat had been sleeping ever since.
