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
Scrambling to his feet, Adrian tore through the spaces from his office to the elevator in a state of frenzy.His phone almost slid off his pants, but he reflexly caught it mid-air.Still cursing under his breath, he ran to the ICT department.Finding Michael was an easy task. He was always seated at the back of a table of computers. Engrossed in his work.This was a highly-paid job, yet requiring skills.Adrian watched him switch from one computer to the other as he got his tasks done. Sensing the looming presence of someone, Michael turned around to see it was Alpha Adrian. Shocked he stared blankly at him.Adrian was the proper definition of boss, confidence, and responsibility.He'd never come down to pass a message. He had lots of people and a fucking cell phone.Meaning he'd only come here because the mission was important. One he couldn't say over the phone."Good day," Michael greeted. "Track an IP address and tell me who the hell's keeping me on edge!" Quickly cutting him of
The Nightshade pack belonged to the Lycan King, Jasper, and the land in which they stood, was part of the Nightshade pack, however, because it was a land in dispute, all the Alpha in various parts of the world had agreed that no one would trespass into it.At least, until the dispute was resolved.This place was called the Golgotha of Nightshades pack for a reason. The Alpha King's little pup was killed in this very place by humans during the annual meeting of Alphas.That incident in itself had sparked crises, but the more chaotic ending came when the search for the culprit wolf, who had betrayed his clan and collaborated with the human-wolf hunter, began.This led to the propagation of a new law. A new dawn, being that whichever Alpha trespassed, had a high chance, of not only losing his office but could be seen as a traitor, indictable for felony, ready to be haunted down by the Lycan King himself.Automatically, appearing here meant that Adrian had become Lycan King's sworn enemy
