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. Leadin
Tears of humiliation, rejection, and self-pity, brimmed Irish's eyes as her mind flashed back to Ashley's words to her on one fateful morning when she had said to her,"You are fighting a lost battle, contesting your mate with me. But come to think of it. Is he even worth fighting for?..."Ashley had pinched the bridge of her nose, before shaking her head sideways as if Irish was an object of pity. "...You must be clueless. Adrian is the reason your mother was in that sick bed and the reason she died in the first place."Irish immediately disengaged from the kiss, Ashley's words, ringing like a forbidden bell in her mind.Perhaps she was the fool here. Adrian, her mate didn't love her, neither did he respect her at all. All he did was hurt her whenever he got the chance.Given that he didn't even bother to lock the door, or stop her from catching him in the act, coupled with the fact that she was heavily pregnant...made her break.Raging hormones mixed with sadness and that awful fe
Night came and Irish was all ready to leave Silver Crest pack.Elsa wasn't the least happy to separate from their mate, but she had no choice other than this. To protect her unborn pup, she needed to leave.If she stayed, her life would be lost, and that was the last thing she wanted. There was so much bad energy that she needed to leave as fast as she could.As Cynthia brought her food that evening, she wanted to hug her and say her goodbyes, since Cynthia had been a good acquaintance, but it was such a pity that her heart couldn't trust just anyone. So she had simply smiled.Using her palm to cover her protruded belly, Irish faced the moon through the mirror and prayed. "The time has come for me to leave. Dear baby, entreat the Moon goddess with me. Tell her to grant us safety." Her eyes shone with brimming tears.This journey to freedom could be her end or the beginning of a new dawn. Fluttering her lashes, she let her tears freely flow down her cheeks.Shifting the curtains asi
Tears of frustration and despair sizzled down Irish's eyes, flowing down her cheeks as she sobbed, hiccups coming after.Watching the guard jam the iron door shut like they had personal issues with her, Irish winced from the sound.Sitting on the bare floor, Irish brought her knees close to her chest, tugging hard on her hair as she buried her face between her thighs.All her life, she had been betrayed, and only once she did trust a stranger and she was betrayed."Is it even some curse?" She couldn't help but say through gritted teeth.Thanks to Nora, her baby would grow in a place, not experiencing the love of its real mother. And what would happen to her? Irish didn't even want to think about it.Indeed, trusting anyone in this cruel world was definitely dangerous."Irish." Irish heard a familiar voice call out to her from the darkness.The voice belonged to the last person she wanted to speak to at the moment, besides, the doors were locked and there was no way in hell anyone coul
"Jake?" Nora whispered her surprise leveling as she stared at him.She touched Irish's hand. "He's with us."Pulling him in, Nora stared at Jake in disbelief. "Why're you here?" She quipped, whispering her words as she stared into his eyes."I cane to save your ass, Nora. I know there's a change of plans because they're searching for you. That's why I stole away so I could inform you. Here's the last place they hope to check.""Which means there's little time." Jake nodded and they turned to look at Irish.Taking Irish's palm, Nora placed it on Jake's hand. "He'll help you get outta here. Follow him, okay?""I'm sorry for putting you in a lot of trouble okay?" Irish hurriedly said while she hugged Nora then quickly disengaged."What are friends for?" Nora laughed but soon, her smile turned into a look of sad disappointment. It was indeed a shame that she wouldn't spend more time with her friend.Blowing her a kiss, Irish took one last look before waving her bye.Drake took her hand an
Adrian stood under the shower, letting the water soak him.Taking showers usually relieved his stress, but today, it didn't seem to be working. His wolf was eventually getting restless by the minute."I want to feel our mate." He whined somewhere at the back of his head."She's under punishment and I can't defy my wife." Adrian tried to repress the voice of his wolf, but Orion wasn't ready to give up, not until he smelled and felt the presence of his wolf again.Parting his lips to let out a lowly growl which voiced out the frustration he had pent up on the inside, he tugged at his hair almost pulling it out of its root. Orion was not helping matters. He kept on pushing to regain control, to go in search of their mate.After a while, he put out the shower, draping a towel around his waist as he made his way out of the bathroom.He could shamelessly tell that something was disturbing his wolf and every single cell inside him.It was the mere thought of Irish getting hurt after all she
Irish sauntered across the road as she slowly pulled out of the car.She had slept in the car overnight since it long run out of fuel.She had no idea where this place was, however, looking around, one thing was certain. She was in the land of the humans.The city buzzed with people from all walks of life going to their various destinations. Some were a group of college girls, others, were mostly males and females rushing somewhere.She walked. Alone.The city streets stretched out before her, seeming endless.Suddenly Irish turned around, a look of confusion clouding her expression.Her nose flared as she sniffled hard. She could perceive the human scents of the crowded street but there was a fleeting animalistic smell in the air.The scent was well cloaked. However, her father had once sold drugs to some mafia humans back then and this was exactly how he scented after using lots of scent concealer.Walking briskly, in the direction of the scent, Irish clutched tightly to her cloth b
