"Told you never to mess with me," Avan pushed her into her room.Closing the door behind him with his free hand, he used the other free hand to push her against the wall. So that her face was against the wall.Avan closed in on her, Irish could feel his erection press against her butt.Irish knew she had to do something to stop Avan from continuing with his act. But at the same time what she was about to do shouldn't cost her job. Fire and Ice was a dirty place and if she wasn't careful, Avan would be more than pleased to bend her over the dressing table beside them.His breath touched on her nape and the hairs at the back of her head stood on end."He's such a pervert!" Elsa cried in retaliation."Release the bag now...or there would be consequences.""Please let me go. I didn't steal the money. It's for a client." She dropped the bag on the floor at once but Avan didn't release her.He stared at the bag a little longer than he should have, the money getting him distracted. Using thi
"How did you do it?" He asked. Irish was now following Mr. Stranger out of the room.He wondered how she managed to fight off Avan, even as a human girl.Irish squinted, her body moving in steady movements as she walked gently, portraying a soft feminine aura. She wanted to give the impression that she could not harm. After all, men liked soft females.She was in no way going to communicate her true intention or any of her abilities until it was the right time."Me? I did nothing?" She squinted again, trying not to raise her voice so high against the banging music.Irish had lived long enough with the humans to know how they functioned. One's voice had to be low and seductive, especially when communicating with the make clients.Paschal stared at the tender-looking woman beside him. She had multiple scents on her body and as they wafted through his nose, he found it hard to decipher her real scent.Was she human?He didn't know. He trailed her earlier, coming behind her by a distance.
On getting to his penthouse, Irish smirked as he packed into an underground parking garage.The automatic doors of the cars opened and she let herself out and Paschal did the same.He gave out his right hand and Irish did well to take it as it helped her maintain her balance on her pointed heels.Silence ensued between them till they reached the elevator.But once they got to the elevator, the air suddenly became heated.Irish could hear Paschal breathing a little fast, his eyes weeping her whole.He pulled her closer, her body ramming hard against his chest.Using his index finger, he placed it on her chin, causing her to tilt it up. Her eyes landed on the sea of his ocean-blue eyes.He was...beautiful.Unconsciously, her lips fell open. She was enthralled. Her wolf didn't seem to be attracted to him, but damn Elsa, his gaze made her jot with need.She could feel a wave of arousal course through her, disappearing in between the entrance of her thighs.And wait what? He hadn't even to
Now on the streets, Irish hailed a cab entered. When she got to her destination, she paid the chauffeur with a wad of bills which she had removed from the money bag earlier. On good nights like this, she would make sure to pay the chauffeurs handsomely - transfer of sweetness she would call that.Walking up to her front porch, she slid in the key, twisted it, and opened the door. Quickly scanning the entire apartment, she went into Jayden's room.When she heard him breathing softly, her heart became warm.She went closer to him, pulling up the blanket to his chest. Her gaze shifted to his face and instantly, it reminded her of Adrian.Jayden was the replica of Adrian. He looked much like the younger version of Adrian. If only Adrian wasn't so against her, Jayden would have had a father to call his own.Thinking of Adrian, Irish sighed inwardly.She had heard Avan mention that he would organize a party that would be hosting a greater number of Alpha's. In his viewpoint, that would ear
"Don't tell me you want to lose your job!!" Jasmine blasted in Irish's ears the moment she picked up the call.Irish squinted her sleepy eyes in concentration, then parted the curtains to let in more light. She yawned tiredly only to hear the warning in Jasmine's voice."Did you want to lose your job? Don't you forget that Jayden's gonna die of hunger then!!" A sigh came at the end."I know, Jasmine. But what's the need of working a nine-to-five job and in the end, we still get so abused and our rights are not so protected? I quit Jasmine. Avan tried to rape." Irish could hear a gasp coming from Jasmine on the other end..Irish couldn't afford to work in Fire and Ice anymore. No, not after what happened with Liam Wilder and Avan dei Caprio. She would surely be caught and that was the last thing she wanted on her bucket list of occurrences."That fucking bastard -" Jasmine went ahead to utter profanities to his name, saying all the violent things she was going to do to Avan if he eve
"What the fuck!!!" Liam exclaimed as he dipped his hand into his suitcase to fetch out his card only to feel that it was gone.He had stepped out to get his lunch while disguising himself like an ordinary man. His position in the society didn't let him trust anyone to cook for him. Not his girlfriend, and not his cook.Fast food was his hunger escape game when he didn't have the time to cook for himself.He dipped his hand once more, but then he stopped using his hand to feel and started looking into the bag - Nothing?!He was not the type to panic in such a situation but something didn't feel right in his guts. Especially because he had always put this card in this particular suitcase for twenty years and not for once did he look for it.His suitcase was a tom-ford and he had never for once thought to replace it because it had undying quality.On the table, he placed the suitcase, then fished out his phone.He was at a restaurant and had just finished eating and he needed to pay up.
In the principal's office, he sat behind a mahogany desk in his swivel chair. The room had the warm, fuzzy feel of an air conditioner and air freshener.Irish would have been taking a breath of fresh air save for the fact that the room was thick with tension.Irish was now seated opposite the principal at the principal's office, he looked straight at her and the woman which she had fought with, through his rimless glass.Clearing his throat, he adjusted his glasses and peered at her, his eyes behind those glasses, looking so hideous."What seems to be the issue Miss -""Irish." Irish completed his sentence."I came for the Parents-Teacher Association meeting and instead of seeing my son well taken care of, he was being abused by this woman over here." Irish pressed her lips into a thin line as she scowled while pointing at the thick lady sitting adjacent to her."Point of correction Whore! I wasn't abusing your son. I was trying to put him right in his place." She retorted, pointing f
Quickly, Irish turned around, mouth agape, with her heart ramming against her ribcage.She had made two great enemies in one night. Which one of them was it?As she turned around, she was dazzled at the sight before her.Three black hummers surrounded her, like...like everything was planned.There was absolutely no need to doubt that, because, the next minute, another black hummer drove behind her, blocking her only way of escape and making her grab Jayden and protectively cover him with her arms.A man stepped out of one of the hummers. He wore a matching black outfit. He had on, a black tire, black shirt, black trousers "...and definitely a black underwear." Elsa muttered, jittering Irish the more."Come with us." He ordered, once he got near enough.Irish felt scared, but fear was the last thing she wanted to show these people. "I am going nowhere!" She asserted, clutching tight to Jayden. She didn't like that this was happening at all. No, not with Jayden there. If it were she al
"Tomorrow's the D-Day, and tomorrow, we're going to kill a man." Liam voiced, glancing over his shoulders at Irish who was standing beside him.The cool evening breeze caressed their skin, blowing Irish's hair back and revealing her long neck.They were seated at the pool, their feet in water. Liam had a cigarette sitting in between his fingers.He took a drag and then puffed it out into the air."You smoke?" Liam stretched out his hand with a new cigarette for her."No. Told you that I'm not a fan of distorted minds the moment I met you""You still don't trust me, do you?"Irish shrugged. "I came out to the pool 'cause it was getting quite lonely in there. Jayden went to sleep early." Irish said, diverting the topic.Liam realized this but decided not to pursue his question further."Come sit down," Liam parted the space next to him for her to sit. And when he saw that she was reluctant, he said, "I have a business to discuss."On hearing that, Irish removed her flip-flops and helped
The next day, Irish invited Jasmine to come to the penthouse and see her, and of course, she did this with Liam's permission.Jasmine walked into the living room, wearing a navy blue jumpsuit, her hair was up in a bun, and she clutched her handbag."I missed you!! Where's Jasmine??" She opened her arms wide the moment she saw Irish seated. Irish got up and reciprocated her gesture, leaving a look of surprise on her friend's face since she wasn't so used to seeing her all jolly and excited."I brought him some fruit. My baby needs to be eating healthy."Irish looked behind her before raising a questioning brow. Jasmine got the message and answered, "Oh, the fruit is outside? The butler took them to the kitchen. Said he'll bring it in on your request.""Is that so," Irish asked, then dragged her friend to sit down on the plush leather cushions."Yes.""You know you can't see Jayden right now. He's at school."Jasmine's face flushed. "Holy crap! Blame my dumb brain. I should have known
"No way!" Irish yelled lowly as she turned around to face Liam. This was not right. Only couples who lived together or people who were in affairs, and neither of these two cases were the facts in her truth.She didn't really know how to feel about it because it gave her mixed feelings."Look, Liam, I...""I don't have much time," He wrung his hand to check the time. "You've gotten on the wrong sides of the Lupari Clan, and you might need extra security, not just for you but Jayden. Trust me when I say they've noticed you by now."Irish looked away, her intense stare, shifting. "Don't tell me you don't have your interest in this."He slid his hands in his pocket, his gaze hardening, "Well, I don't usually care about the people who work for me, but this mission is important for me, and the whole of the Iron Knight pack. And I have a soft spot for Jayden, so I don't want to screw it up."He paused, sucked in a deep breath while offering Jayden a kind smile. "I'll be leaving immediately.
"Come on! Liam, that's the only fucking reason I try to keep Jayden safe. It's because I have a lot of enemies." Irish said, her voice dripping with concern because Jayden would have at least mind-linked her for help by now if he were not in danger."Let's get out of here. We've got to save Jayden. I already sent the closest wolf guards to the rescue." Liam said and got down on all fours, and so did Irish.Thick furs replaced Liam's skin while fangs shot out from his fingers as his body transformed into his animal form.Irish's body underwent the same process, except that Irish had a white wolf instead of a brown one."Ready?" Liam mind linked her since he wasn't able to speak in his wolf form. Irish nodded and they took off, running at full speed towards the park recreational center for kids.Liam was faster, so he got there before Irish. When he got there, he howled heavily, causing the whole place to shake from the weight of his animalistic sound.The curtains tore apart and wolves
Irish froze in her seat, not able to even blink an eyelid.She sucked in a breath as she moved uncomfortably in her seat. She glanced at the window once more before returning her face to Liam.Liam furrowed his eyebrows in wonder. Why did her expression change all of a sudden? "Is anything the matter?" He asked.Irish darted a fearful glance at him, "The Lupari Clan. They are already in this pack and there's no more time to waste. We have to do something to keep them in check, so they don't attack before the anniversary.""Yeah, right. If they ever cause a ruckus before the anniversary, then it would disrupt the ceremony.""We have to tread cautiously if we are ever going to win this war." Irish sighed."Well. These enemies won't stop us from having a good meal tonight." Liam cleared his throat. "I already ordered to have them prepare us a fresh meal. They'll be done in ten minutes."Irish rolled her eyes. "We are supposed to be on the run Liam. And you are talking about sitting to e
"Mummy, where is Daddy?" Jayden asked, his eyes searing into Irish's in an emotional accusatory look. "But you said Daddy was dead...""Jayden, I'll tell you everything when we get home, okay?" Irish nodded at Jayden. She had been telling him that his father was dead and whenever the smart little boy asked she never bore her husband's name, she simply gave excuses or distracted him by changing the topic.But now, Liam was calling her by her name and her mate's name. What was she going to tell Jayden? How could she defend herself, and how was Jayden going to trust his mother's words again?With the way Jayden's expression quickly changed like emotional turmoil was brewing in him, Irish felt affected."Jayden. I promise to tell you everything once we get home." She repeated, then turned to face Liam again."Last I checked. My family dynamics was never your problem." She said with a stern face.Liam stepped forward, towards them. "Oh, seems like I hit a nerve. Did I?" He folded his arms
Irish smirked as she intelligently observed the settings of the place. This she did in one swift glance.Her eyes rested on poor Jasmine and she let out a breath of relief. Then she searched the room once more, with her eyes, looking for any possible threats. 14 guards were surrounding Liam and standing at strategic positions.When she saw that she possessed enough to handle these men, she folded her arms across her chest."Release him to me. Now." She trained her eyes on Liam, who had an amused smirk hanging at the corners of his lips."I'll do that. Definitely. But I'm sure I need not remind you of the terms involved." He winked at her and Irish scoffed.How dared he wink at her in a serious situation as this? Did he know how terrible she felt the moment she found out that Jayden was missing and to top it off, there had been a break-in?"Listen, Liam, I don't care who you think you are, but if you don't release my son this minute, I'll make sure you regret it the rest of your fucked
"Jayden, you see I got you a box of pizza..." The words slowly dried from her throat as she fixed her gaze on the almost closed door of her apartment.Undaunted by what might be the situation inside the apartment, Irish darted into the house, her eyes on alarm, as she scanned the whole place.As she stood in the center of the living room, she felt her body swooning. The television had been smashed, and there was water poured all over the soft rug she had implanted days ago.Barely able to stand in one place, she sprinted towards Jayden's room, and on getting there, her heart and feet skidded to a halt.Her lips slowly parted in shock and disbelief, her eyes swiftly turning here and there as she searched for her son.She ran towards the closet but he was not there. And when she entered the bathroom, he was nowhere to be found."We just left Jayden to get some food. What's happening?" Irish's wolf, asked, feeling alarmed and willing Irish to let her loose so she could run wild in the w
"How on earth is your question reasonable, Ashley?" Adrian asked, his arms spreading in gesticulation."Adrian, that question is legit reasonable. What am I to you if I know nothing about the pack? Do you even consider me Luna? Or your wife? Or...or..."Adrian sighed, then went to console his wife, to stop her from throwing another tantrum. These days, she ended up picking fights now and then, and she was acting very strange like someone who had lots of skeletons in her cupboard. But what could he do? When in her possession was a dangerous secret he couldn't let loose to the world?This was no longer lust or love, but convenience."Look. Ash. I have never kept anything from you. I just don't think this is important information for you, or else, it would have been at your fingertips by now." Adrian said but Ashley still wasn't satisfied, so she pushed further.Tears glistened in her eyes, "But I want to know. And that's what matters, Adrian if you ever think of me as your wife or someo
