"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
"Let me go!" Irish screamed at the top of her pitch as she fought against the relentless grip of the fierce wolf guards. She was In the sleek, modern skyscraper that served as the headquarters of Alpha King Industries. Her heart pounded in her chest like a war drum, her breath a ragged symphony of fear and defiance. "Let me go! I do not belong here!" She screamed again as her voice echoed through the cold, metallic corridors. But her pleas fell on deaf ears. The guards with their impassive faces, dragged her towards a secure elevator that would take her away. She had been kidnapped from school and brought here by these ferocious-looking guards who held her like fastening bolts. Sadly, she knew who was responsible for her ordeal, and it was her father, Greg. If she had not heard that secret exchange conversation between her father and the Alpha, she would have never believed. As they marched, Irish's gaze darted around, searching for a glimmer of hope, anyone that sided with he
Irish froze. She could recognize that authoritative voice that belonged to Alpha Adrian, even in her dreams. He entered the room and flung the key backward and it landed in the hands of his subordinate. There was something with his smooth movement that made Irish stare at his face longer. Her eyes darted to his chest and the outline of his biceps behind that black shirt almost sold her off. Wait...was she ogling the Alpha just now? He cleared his throat and Irish shook her head, trying to regain control of herself. "Come out." He commanded and Irish found herself obeying, after all, she was almost freezing to death. Two guards escorted her into a room, but Alpha Adrian followed behind, his eyes trailing her back. 'His Luna has said her bit, what's even left for him to say?' Irish asked her wolf, Elsa, who had oddly fallen silent since the Alpha stood at the entrance of that cold room. "Sit." Another command. Her gaze landed on a low bunk bed, but Irish was determined not to be
Irish yawned and parted the curtains, letting the beautiful sunlight kiss her skin. Looking down her stomach, she rubbed it gently. "I'm sorry darling, but I would never give up on you." Her orbs soaked as the tears cascaded down her cheeks. She could remember what had happened after that night, two months ago, when she slept with Alpha Adrian. The next morning, he was so irritated by the sight of her that he stormed out of the room after he said to her, "Only in your imagination will I be with a lowlife like you. You disgust me." He spat and stormed out of the room in anger. It seemed that the wolf thingy had made it impossible for him to resist her that night. But the events of that night had dashed her heart like glass on the floor, and when it fell, it had shattered into a million pieces. She was his mate. He wouldn't reject her and neither would he set her free. The cruel abandonment of her father was nothing compared to the pain of finding her mate only to discover that he
"What the fuck is going on here?" Ashley asked, unable to believe her eyes. Adrian was kissing Irish right in front of her. "You slut! You know what? It's high time you stop your little scheme. Adrian, lock her up in the dungeon. She can give birth there. Reject her now!" Frustrated, Ashley yelped while she shook her whole body. They had already disengaged from kissing. Instinctively, Adrian put Irish down and protectively stood in front of her. "I love you Ashley, but she...she is my mate. This is difficult for me too, my wolf needs her. I'm sorry...I can't." Adrian was conflicted as he went closer to Ashley. "You know you're the reason I can't ... That I can't... " Ashley's voice broke as tears rolled down her cheeks. She was trembling, her hands clenching his shirt as she looked up to him and whispered, " You know you're the reason why I can't get pregnant. Why are you doing this to me?” Ashley's hurtful voice was speaking when Adrian raised his hand to hush her. "Irish. Leave
The next day, Irish was determined now more than ever to make Adrian reject her. She couldn't continue living like this. Even though she had dreamt of that kiss last night, the rest of her dreams were filled with images of Ashley trying to stick a knife in her stomach. There were bags under her eyes, she had been too terrified to go back to sleep. She lifted her head to Cynthia, one of the maids who was setting up breakfast in her room. She hated going downstairs for breakfast, Ashley already made it obvious that she wasn't needed there. "Wait," she called when Cynthia was done and made to leave. "Could you please arrange for me to meet Alpha Adrian today? Please?" Her eyes were big and glassy with tears. Cynthia shook her head. "I'm afraid that wouldn't be possible today. You're not allowed to step out of your room." Irish frowned at the shocking news, "Why not?" Pity appeared in Cynthia's eyes, "I understand how you feel, especially because you're the Alpha's true mate. You're
Irish's breathing became shallow and rapid as her heart thumped in her chest."What am I gonna do now?" She asked herself as her muscles tensed up and her skin broke out in a cold sweat.She suddenly became aware of every movement in the room. She needed to be more alert when it came to these people. She told herself. They were capable of killing her.Irish slightly opened her eyes to peek at them only to shut them immediately, when she saw Adrian snap his gaze in her direction.He began walking towards her. With the doubling of footsteps, Ashley was surely coming behind him.She tried to steady her breathing and stop any movement that would show her fears and alert them of her wakefulness."She's still asleep," another voice rang. By how strange it sounded, Ashley assumed that it must be the doctor."She'll wake in no time.""Thanks, Doctor," Adrian replied. After that, Irish could hear the shuffling of feet and the creaking sound of the door opening and then closing.By the time Ir
Anger surged through Irish's heart and she screamed, "I didn't do it!"Adrian's hand hung in the hair. A flicker of doubt appeared in his heart. 'Did she really do it?' He asked his wolf who seemed to be taking Irish's side. He knew his wolf, Orion, had always favored Irish and so he didn't want to take it's judgement to heart."Tell me the truth, Irish and I'll lessen your punishment."Tears gushed down Irish's cheeks as she held tightly to her sides. "What did I even expect in the first place? That you would abandon your gorgeous wife with a slit wrist and listen to me? Ashley slit her own wrist!" Irish asserted strongly.Adrian had already put down his hands. He was confused as he stood between one woman with a slit wrist and the other with tears on her face.Coincidentally, Cynthia was by the corner. She had only come to get somethings done, only to discover that there was something going on.When Adrian saw Cynthia, he spoke."Cynthia. Take Irish upstairs now!" He thundered fur
