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
"What?!" Adrian jolted up on his feet. "You've finally found her? Where?"He asked, his eyes alert and his ears attentive."We found her at Orange County. She works at one of the clubs there.""Good." Adrian swallowed in excitement. "Just good. I need you to send me the address right about now." It was an order.Adrian smiled. After six years, he had finally found an authentic lead on Irish.He had searched nooks and crannies of Silver Crest pack but she was nowhere to be found.He had searched also in neighboring packs but she wasn't present either.At those points in his life, it felt like he had lost interest in everything. Everything that mattered and everything that once made sense to him, he went cold at them.Even pack duties and his office at Alpha King Industries lacked the enthusiasm with which he usually worked..Getting her out of his mind was impossible. Ashamed as he was to say this. Her absence simply left a void in his heart that no one could possibly fill."I'm sorry
Adrian approached a very beautiful garden. This garden had so many beautiful flowers in it, ranging from the purple hibiscus to lavender, sunflower and so many others which he couldn't name.He continued walking towards the garden, unable to fathom why he was so happy and elated at nature's work.Then his gaze landed on her.She was laughing with a stranger - a man, horrifically so.She did a little happy dance with her back faced to him, her brown colored hair glistening high in the air against the sun and then she turned around and their eyes met.Those gorgeous brown eyes belonged to his mate -Irish.On seeing him, the smile on her face dwindled into something like an angry frown.Before Adrian could get a grasp of everything that was happening, that same man who was dancing with her, took advantage of her distracted state, pulled out a sharp knife from behind him, and then drove it deep into her belly.Irish gasped, her eyes horrified as blood sputtered everywhere.Then she scream
"Stop your search for Irish now!" Ashley boomed. "Or else I'll tell the world your secret." Ashley snarled, slapping hard the table in front of her.Seated across from her was Adrian, he was in his leather recliner chair, sipping hot coffee. Sometimes he'd drink that so much just to help him not to asleep, since he hardly slept with nightmares of Irish tormenting him.Halfway shutting his eyes, he dropped the cup of coffee on the table and peered at a fuming Ashley."We agreed not to let a word of this get out." He thinned his lips and raised his brows at her."Yes. Adrian. The same way we promised each other forever but guess who's not keeping that promise now." She folded her arms across her chest and faced the other side, snorting, "Hmmph. I wonder what the pack member will be saying about their Alpha when news gets out."Adrian groaned, getting up to meet Ashley's standing posture. "You're going to listen to me and keep that wide mouth of yours shut...""No, I won't..." Ashley cut
Irish walked into her new apartment feeling like someone who had just won a trophy. Truly, money answered all things - if not, how else was she supposed to pay for an apartment and get it furnished to her taste in one day?"Jayden, come here." He handed her a takeaway plate. She had bought spaghetti and meatballs on her way here.While he ate, she placed the box on the bed, pulling items out and arranging the things she had come here with. She let a sigh escape her lips. Escaping there was one hell of a ride.She walked past the kitchen and living room and went straight to her room. She had commercial cleaners come clean here hours before she came in and looking at the room, they had done a pretty good job.In the room, the bed was situated right beside the window. She smiled when she remembered they had adhered to her strict instructions to make sure that the beddings were all white.An in-closet was situated by the right, and by the left, just close to the exit door was the dressin
Liam knew exactly how to catch anyone on the face of the planet. As he wasn't a dunce, he had trailed Irish to her house to find some men trying to break in.He had then refrained from going there, because from his calculation, Irish must have escaped.He had watched from a distance and even after they broke in, Irish and her son didn't even come out to meet the intruders, meaning that they were quick to escape.Liam walked to Irish, his eyes blank, cold, and void of any emotions."I want my money now. Hand it over, or I'll get your son killed."Irish chuckled, "What makes you think my son is within your reach? Or I'll let you touch him?""You know nothing of who I am. One snap of my finger and your son goes missing."Irish whipped her head to the side to stare at Jasmine. She was hurdled on one side of the bed, fear clearly written all over her face. Irish felt pity for Jasmine. Who knows what Liam must have done to her?All of a sudden, Irish clutched down at her stomach, like her
Irish threw a gum in her mouth, flexing her jaw as she bit into the softness.Another reminder of the benefits of money - she had rented a new apartment for Jasmine to leave.Of course, the lady was more scared and questioning than excited but Irish had assured her that it was her savings for the rest of the years he settled in Iron Knight.Irish, who was lying on her back on the bed and holding her PC up while she operated, suddenly jerked up from that position and put the laptop aside.Looking beside herself, her eyes fixed on Jayden who was fast asleep. Good.Although she wanted to call over a nanny for Jayden, she knew it was night, and Jayden could ultimately take care of himself.Rolling down the bed, Irish went to her wardrobe.Picking out a black facemask, she first slid it on, before continuing the same process with her black crop top, skinny black hoodie, and pants.When she was done, she slid her sling bag across her shoulders and then went to pick up her phone.Almost imme
66 "I want you to work for me." Those familiar black eyes and eyes stabbed her soul. Yes. He definitely stabbed her soul in the sense that he was looking at her as if he was looking into her soul and seeing through her. Liam rose from the chair where he had made himself comfortable and then began walking towards Irish...with each step feeling like he was making a conscious effort to flaunt his handsomeness. "Too straight to the point, aren't you?" Irish asked the moment she came to. "Too sharp-mouthed, aren't you?" Liam glared at her. This was the first time a woman was making him do petty things like retorting back. Save for this one time, he hadn't done this before. Ignoring whatever she had said before now, Liam came closer to her. He kept coming closer till there was no space left between them. "I've seen your fighting and shooting skills and I'm offering you a one-time offer. Accept it." Irish pushed him off her body, temporarily setting herself free from him by ta
The tone of Rap God, by Eminem, rang in the background and Irish's ears, startling her up on her feet, even though her eyes were still heavy with sleep."What the hell." She cursed under her breath, her hands instantly finding the vibrating phone on top of her bedside table and grabbing it.Without looking, she answered the call and pressed it against her ears, her voice a low note as she responded."Hello. Who's there?""It's Liam speaking. Guess my real name is no stranger to your damn mind."Irish, startled by the man calling, sat up on her ass on the bed, her body turning rigid and alert...Her mind traveled back to her last encounter with Liam. He had said he would find her no matter how hard she tried to run or his.eWas that what he was doing now?But Irish wasn't about to let her feeling of apprehension show - not now and not ever."Hey. Good morning would suit you. Care to tell me how the fuck you got my number?".Liam wanted to say something but he simply got interrupted by
"I can't believe it was my abusive ex-boyfriend stalking me again." Jasmine cried, her eyes and lashes wet with tears.Her nose ran with mucor which she incessantly dried with the help of a tissue paper.After she had rescued Jasmine that same night, she had to bring her down to her house, because she was too scared and traumatized to stay alone. At least, not after what happened with Emerald, her ex-boyfriend.Irish passed a hand around her shoulder. "You're scared and hyperventilating right now, but you've got to tell your brain that everything's in the past now." Irish said."Trust you to give advice when you cry yourself to sleep most times." Elsa chuckled, her tone dripping with sarcasm, making Irish roll her eyes."He...he," Jasmine heaved. "He was going to rape me...and...and hit me." She cried, sniffling hard and she swallowed, pushing her hair backward to expose her neck."I want you to suck in a deep breath." Irish patted her back, while Jasmine followed her instructions. "T
"I need you to tighten your arms around the borders. No rogues must break in. And we must take attendance of soldiers with their thumbprints to enable that there are no traitors allowed in." Adrian announced.Ashley was seated beside him in the now filled Alpha King Industries, at a section of the building which was used solely for pack activities ranging from announcements to meetings and all of that stuff.This was so big an event that Alpha Adrian and Luna Ashley would be broadcast live on all the televisions in every home in Silver Crest pack.This entire room consisted of the honorable, elders of his pack, title holders, his beta, and then the secretary."It has been reported by the chief honorable of the minister of external pack affairs, that trade between us and the packs like Raven pack, Blood moon pack, Great Oak, and the Iron Knight pack..."At the mention of Iron Knight Pack, Ashley frowned in concentration."...has solidified within the years." She waited for Adrian to dr
Irish opened a small compactment which was on the top of her bike, and then, brought out a short black pistol."It's loaded. Just great." Irish muttered under her breathe and attached a silencer then, began walking into the scene of the fight which was shrouded in darkness.Looking ahead, her eyes trained on Liam. He was fighting off some rogues and human street fighters at the same time. He threw a punch at one, and the other, he threw a flying kick.Grabbing another by the throat, Liam punched him hard in the gut..By the way, just as Irish could see, Liam must have thought that none of the fighters possessed a gun, and he had used his hands and feet to fight them all to the ground. However, just as he kicked the last man standing to the ground, with a triumphant smile tugging at the corners of his lips, he didn't notice one of the defeated men who was on the floor, holding a gun and pointing it at him from behind.Liam slowly turned around, perhaps, to leave the scene, but the unfo
