Irina’s POVI look between Kendra and the dead witch, in the moment, I had absolutely no idea what to do, it was times like these that I missed Raine, she would know exactly what we should do. Kendra continued to sob, and I knew it wouldn’t be long until the witch was found, until my identity was discovered and then we would all be screwed. I was wolfless, I couldn't go up against the humans.“Irina please say something! What do we do?” She lets the gun fall to the floor with a loud clatter as she moves towards the witch.“Don’t touch her” I mutter, trying to think of what Raine would tell me. "We can’t leave our prints behind, we have to make sure everything remains the same, like we were never here!"“Then what do we do?”“We do nothing, we go back to yours and pretend we have been there all day.”She nods her head at me, “Can’t you make it look like a wolf got her?”“Kendra, I can’t shift remember! Now grab your gun and come on.” I pull on her arm, carefully looking through the bea
Damien’s POVI didn’t want the human anywhere near my pack and I really hoped Irina would make the right decision. But as I tell Irina it is her choice; I see the struggle within her. Humans didn’t belong with wolves, there was a reason they were not supposed to know about us, and there was a reason we continued to remain separated from them. The people of this town though, they were very aware of our kind and that was bad enough.There were enough wars going on between packs without needing to create wars with humans too, and even though we were stronger, faster, they had something that we didn’t, they had silver bullets, an instant killer and we couldn’t protect ourselves from that.Lonecrown would rip her apart as soon as they scented her and even I couldn’t protect her from that.The humans’ eyes plead with Irina, and I could already sense what Irina was going to say.“I cannot guarantee her protection Irina”“But you are the Alpha”“Humans are different, they do not fall within m
Irina’s POV “What do you mean Kendra, are you talking about the wolves?” She nods her head at me, “They come in the dark, every night someone disappears. The talismans are supposed to help but now, now I have killed the only thing protecting everyone here.” “Why didn’t you tell me?” “Because I thought you would be gone by now and then all this shit happened.” She leans over her gun, letting out a heavy sigh. I felt guilty, it was me that had put her in this position. “Grab essentials and we will leave now. Anything you need later on, I can provide.” Damien is stood at the window, watching the people move around with their guns in their hands. “Quickly!” I try to help as much as I can, but Damien keeps telling me it is too much, he believed that Kendra wouldn’t be allowed to leave if they think she was leaving permanently. “Literally basics, few changes of clothes, passport, money.” Kendra nods her head, filling a basic backpack, stuffing a huge wad of cash into the bag, she s
Damien’s POVWhile the women sleep, I watch her, the human. I hated that she was here, but I was intrigued how a human had been mated to a wolf, especially one like Gunnar. We never learned much about him and now we never will.All those years ago, my father had told me that times were changing, and he was right, there was no denying it. Everything was so different now.I try relaxing but I can’t, everything just seemed so surreal, I was finally bringing Irina home, although with an annoying tag a long. At least she would finally be able to meet her son. I just hoped it would go as well as I wanted it too.I asked Austin to meet us at the airport for when we landed, I told him to bring Logan with him. Austin protested at first, reluctantly giving in when I change my tone with him. He just didn’t like the idea of letting Logan leave the pack lands and I understood why, but what better way for Irina to meet her son.Waking them just before we land, Irina’s eyes were wide with excitement
Damien's POV“Or what?” her eyes are dark as she continues to glare at me.Logan begins to stir, his head rubbing against Irina’s shoulder as he yawns and opens his eyes. A smile spreads across his face and I watch as that flash of light runs around his eyes while he gazes lovingly at her. He doesn’t say anything, instead he turns his head to me, and he watches me in the same way as Irina does. Was he making her this way?I try to keep my composure, “Did you have a nice sleep Logan?”His head bobs up and down, but he doesn’t speak, it was so unlike him, normally he didn’t stop talking unless he was napping. Holding my arms out to him, I was hoping he would want to come to me, but instead he leans more into her, that light in his eyes getting brighter.Irina turns on her heel, carrying him inside without even looking back. The nannies look at me in confusion, but I was just as confused. What was happening to my mate?“It’s been happening a lot since you have been looking for Irina.”Au
Irina’s POVSomehow, I just seem to know where to go. Logan clings to me as much as I cling to him, that overpowering feeling of love that I had heard new mothers talk about, well, I understood it now.His room was right next to Damien’s, the walls painted in a soft blue, all the furniture in his room white, it would have been exactly how I would have decorated it too, the funny thing was, Damien and I never got a chance to talk about that and yet somehow, he just knew that this is what I would want for our child.Logan wriggles in my arms, trying to get down and as I lower him, he runs over to his toddler bed, jumping up and down on the mattress in excitement and chattering to himself. It is only when a button on his top comes undone that a see a blue crescent on his chest. It looked like a mate mark, but how was that possible, how could he already have a mark and on his chest?“Mommy look at me.” He breaks my thoughts and climbs
Damien’s POVWe turn to look at Logan, who is standing looking up at us with an innocent smile. The light in his purple eyes had disappeared and they were now an almost deep purple instead.“Logan?”“Witches are bad. Bad people daddy, I help.”I had never spoken to him about witches, there was never any need to speak of them yet. He will learn about them in school when he is in his teens.Irina drops to her knees, holding her arms out to him, as he runs into them, she holds him tight and whispers ‘we don’t hurt people,’ but as he looks over her shoulder to me, the smile disappears before he turns his head away and buries it into Irina.I didn’t want to think about it, I didn’t like what I was seeing, and I hoped that Austin was wrong, but I was seeing it more and more. Our child was dark, he was two and he held a darkness about him. Is this what would make him the ultimate Alpha?The chef lets me know that dinner is ready through a link and as I tell Irina and Logan, she looks at me w
Damien’s POVIrina was still sleeping as Logan continues to tell me that mommy’s pack were in his dreams, talking about hunting him down. He was shaking as he speaks, tears forming in his purple eyes as he keeps glancing at a sleeping Irina.“Daddy, they are coming.”“I won’t let them hurt you. I won’t let them take you.” I pull him towards me on the bed, as his tears run down his face.“You can’t stop them.”He snuggles in between Irina and I, his breathing heavy. He may not be the next Blood Alpha, but he was connected to them just as much as Irina and I wondered if he would be able to listen in on their plans. As the tears stop and he settles down, holding my hand. He tells me he is scared.“Don’t be, I will protect you with all of my heart.”He buries into me, his sniffling eventually turning to quiet snores, and I watch as his chest rises and falls with each breath.I wake Irina when I am certain that Logan is deeply asleep, repeating to her what he told me. First she looked at m
