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
"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
"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
"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 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
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 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
"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
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
"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
