Irina’s POVThe last thing I saw was a blinding light, I couldn’t tell where it came from and then hands found me, lifting me up. My head hurt, is this what it was like to be human now, to not have a wolf, everything hurt a hundred times more than it used to. Even worse than when that bitch Vivian stabbed me.That was so long ago, a lot had happened since then. Visions of my life flash in front of me, all the bad and good but there was one constant, Damien. He was there in the background of my memories until the darkness seeped in.My head throbbed as I turned it. Logan was laid in the bed with Damien, his bed right next to mine but Logan had an arm outstretched and was holding my hand as he slept. Lily and Lacey were no where to be seen.“How are you feeling?”I didn’t realise Damien was awake and watching me, he had more wires connected to him then I had but it didn’t take the smile away from his face, the smile that I had fallen in love with.I groan as I try to move, everything wa
Ten years later.Irina's POV"I'm here mom, let's get it over with." Logan rolls his purple eyes at me as he settles in a chair. It was his eighteenth birthday and just like Damien and I had promised all those years ago, we never missed a birthday. The older he got, the more he looked like Damien, he had filled out quite well and was no longer a skinny kid, spending alot of his free time in the gym or training. Or rather, he was constantly training, like he was preparing himself for something. There had been a few threats over the years, but nothing as bad as what we experienced in his younger years. Kendra made sure of that, putting a protection spell over the entire pack. The only other time she used her witch powers, ."Just wait for your father and the twins please." I smile at him and he rolls his eyes again. "Mom, they won't mind, besides Seth is waiting for me, were going out to celebrate.""Please Logan, its a tradition."His purple eyes pierce my own and his annoyance turn
Irina's POV She grabs me by my sweatshirt and slams me into the lockers for the third time today. My bruises and spine hadnt even had a chance to recover from earlier. While I am struggling for freedom, I can already feel the new pain within my body. She was taunting me "You're nothing but a waste of space loser and you will never be anything but a loser" With one last tug of my brunette hair, she spits in my face Walking away with the other popular girls, I hear her laugh echoing in the hallway. She looks over her shoulder, giving me a look of pure disgust before disappearing around the corner. Wiping the spit from my face, I slide down to the floor, hugging my knees whilst others looked on. No one helped, no on ever helped. Vivian Stanson, I hated her and one day I SWEAR I will get my revenge on her! I could not wait for my day to be over and thankfully there was only one more class, the most boring one of all, math.
Irina’s POV I try to ignore the strangers’ intoxicating scent and focus on my mother, she was more important right now and even though it was nerve-wracking seeing her like this, I try to keep my shaking hands steady as I use a towel to gently wipe the blood away from her skin so that I could see what I was dealing with. From the corner of my eye, I could see the handsome man leaning on our kitchen table, crossing his arms in front of his chest, but his eyes were fixed on my movements. It looked like he was interested in me, but the way he was watching me, made me feel uncomfortable and his scent swirled in my mind. When I look up, he turns his head away, glancing around our small home. As I carry on dabbing the damp towel against my mothers wounds. I discover that the blood splattered across her body is not hers?! The more I wipe the more confused I become. I wonder how she got away with one tiny wound that was almost healed and still ended up covered in blood. Where did she go?? D
Damien’s POV I left when she asked, without even knowing her name. Her hands caked in the blood of a wolf that her mother killed. Which was a surprise in itself considering her mother was just an omega. Father shouted through the fight when he saw the omega passed out in my arms. Telling me to take her home, even giving me an address and I wondered why he even bothered to bring an omega to the fight but she was good, she was skilful and quick, not like the other omegas who were not quite as resourceful. I had questions but my father was the Alpha and therefore I did as he asked Carrying the omega through the forest, I find her house on the very outskirts of our pack land, the house was small but an amazing scent of fresh linen was wafting from the house. Looking down at the woman I was carrying, the scent was not coming from her and as I boot the door open, there is a girl sat on the stairs, looking completely alarmed by my appearance bu
Irina’s POV I had hardly slept and the bags under my eyes were a huge giveaway. A mixture of annoyance and stress about how mom was keeping secrets from me. The questions I had were slowly burning a hole in my brain and I needed answers! As I head downstairs I was surprised to hear that my mom was still here, she would normally be at work by now and as I round the corner I almost walk into her, sending her morning coffee flying and making her jump “Why are you not at work?” “Excuse me? I am your mother, do not talk to me like that” “I am just saying you are normally at work by now” “Day off” she mumbles, cleaning up the spilt coffee but she looked a mess this morning, her long blonde hair tied up in a messy bun and she looked like she hadn't slept either I sit at the table and fill my cereal bowl, but I couldn’t eat, I had so many questions but I had no idea what the chances are that she would actually answer me so I ha
Damien’s POV Why did I agree to pick her up? I had managed to avoid it for years, well since I left school anyway, but I guess I had to get it over and done with eventually. I wouldn’t be able to avoid going to the school when I was Alpha, after all the Alpha over sees physical training for the final year students. As soon as I pull up in the parking lot the girls are watching me. The conversations turning to me and some already becoming flustered, making it was easy enough to smell them, their aromas giving them away and I screw my nose up at them. It was not what I wanted to be smelling and Vivian saunters towards me with the biggest grin on her face, but its not her scent I pick up because other than her make up she had no real scent, its my half sisters. Irina was here, somewhere and I had to see her even if it was from afar. Vivian runs forward and embraces me, pressing her lips to my face leaving a sweet sticky residue behind, she wreaked more of makeup
Irina’s POV As soon as I am out the doors I run, pushing one foot in front of the other until the school is a tiny dot in the distance. Today hadn’t been as bad as it could have been with Vivian, I knew she saw me but maybe having her fiancé there was what stopped her. But, I could not get her evil grin out of my head, it was more sadistic than usual and in some ways I was glad Damien was there, just to stop her from torturing me for one day even if his scent was intoxicating His scent! I didn’t understand why it was so strong around me??, surely others could smell it too. Is that why the other girls threw themselves at him. I come to a halt as I remember what my mother used to tell me. All the stories growing up she had told me that the day I find my mate, I would be overcome by a scent, a scent that only I could smell, a scent that called my wolf to his and vice versa. Surely it couldn’t be possible, he was my half brother, we shared the same father, we wer

Damien’s POVI hear her stutter behind me, Irina was trying to get out some words, but nothing was coming. I glance down at Logan who is still trying to figure out what was happening. I don’t think even as a child that he had heard of the Blood Pack.“Logan, go to your room.”“But Dad, I want to know what’s happening!”“Logan, I said go!” I change my tone and he scarpers out the room, leaving the five of us staring at each other.“You were raised in the Blood Pack?” Liam asks, shocked by the information, “You told me you grew up down south in a large family!”Kendra looks at her feet, folding her arms across her chest, clenching her jaw. “Technically I did. The Blood Pack use to live down South, until the witches pushed them out. We were given a choice, to join the witches coven or to stay with Blood Pack.”“How did you even end up in the Blood Pack?” Irina finally finds some words.Kendra shrugs. “They were our family!”I watch as Tiana rolls her eyes at her sister, “You really are s
Irina’s POVTiana steps inside, not waiting for an invite. Logan hides behind me, his hand wrapped tightly around my wrist. It wasn’t like him to show how scared he was, he was normally so confident. Kendra had been right about Tiana’s eyes though, a perfect shade of sky blue, they looked a little out of place against her dark skin, but she was beautiful.“Tiana, we haven’t made a decision yet.” Damien mutters, his eyes drifting towards me and Logan.“You didn’t need to; I was told of the decision!”“Huh?” we all speak in unison, there had been no chance for anyone to say anything. Raine had ruined everything before we had had a chance to do anything, but now she was gone.“The Guardians. You should know Damien; they watch over everything.” She smirks a little as her eyes settle on Logan and my own grip tightens on him.Her head turns as she looks around the room, the table and chairs were scattered, Raine had thrown them out of her way. It was still an odd feeling, not being able to
Irina’s POVI couldn’t stop, there was nothing I could do to prevent her from coming. Raine’s anger overthrows my own, not only had I been lied too, but Raine had been lied too as well, the thing she hated most in the world, and there wasn’t a single chance that she was going to let Kendra off lightly. All I could do was try and slow her down, try and stop her from acting out for as long as I was able.I hear Damien’s voice, trying to catch my attention but it did nothing to help, all it did was anger Raine further and I started to lose what little control I had over her as her voice comes forward instead of mine.“You lied to us!” Raine roars and I try to speak, but it was like she had taken over completely, like she was at the front of us, and I was drifting to the back, becoming the bystander.I can see Kendra backing away, she had no way of protecting herself and I’m grateful when Damien tries to block our path, putting himself between us and her.“Raine, stand down!” He growls at
Damien’s POV“You do?” I was suspicious and understandably so. Kendra hadn’t taken any time to discuss it, all she had done was look at her friend as Irina apologised and agreed with what we were asking.She nods her head, “You guys always think things happen for a reason.” She looks over at Liam, “What is it you always say, ‘it’s what the Moon Goddess intended.”I look at Liam too, he was one of the few remaining wolves that believed in that, many others now believed in their own fates and your own actions were what made it.Liam bows his head to me. “Alpha, she has made her decision and we will do what you ask, for the benefit of the pack right?”“For the benefit of the pack.” I agreed and Liam wipes away Kendra’s tears.I was still suspicious though and if it had been the other way around, I don’t think I or Irina would have given up looking for the children.“If you are certain, I will give the witch a call!”Irina’s hand tightens around mine, she hated talking about the witch, mo
Damien’s POVTiana wouldn’t give me any details as to why she wanted us to stop looking for Lana. In fact, she made it very clear that it was non-negotiable. I had made the call first thing that morning when Irina had gone on a run. I didn’t need to look for her when I woke, it was clear what she was up to by her missing running trainers.Now she was being forced to choose between her best friend and her son.“Irina we have time.”She shakes her head at me when I tell her Tiana’s offer, “We don’t though do we; you see how Logan is getting, lately everything winds him up, he killed someone because he had had enough of them, that’s not normal child behaviour, even for a wolf!”“You are over thinking Irina, but you know as well as I do that this could destroy your friendship.”Tears fill her eyes as she fights between her decision. I was willing to make it for her but at the same time she probably knew what I would say.“I will call Kendra and Liam, ask them over for dinner tonight.” She
Irina’s POVI could hardly sleep. Damien tries several times to pull me against him, but it was no use, I was agitated, worried about our family. Several times I sneak out of our bedroom and into Logan’s, just to watch him sleep. It would be his birthday in a couple of days, and we had promised to take him bowling along with a few of his friends and the girls, but I had a bad feeling about it.“Irina, come back to bed.” Damien’s hands rub the back of my neck, trying to ease the tension and as I relax into it, Logan stirs, making us both jump and quietly slip out towards our bedroom, we had become wary of our own son and we both knew it.“We can’t let him do this to us Irina.”“I just… I just don’t know what to expect.”“Maybe that’s the problem, maybe we are always waiting for the bad stuff. Maybe we should try and let him live a normal life, not constantly be on top of him.”I nod my head as I bite my bottom lip while climbing into bed and try to settle down to sleep. Damien pulls me
Damien’s POVI couldn’t ask Logan to do such a thing and what if he did it and it turned up nothing, everything would have been a waste of time, thankfully Irina understood that I didn't want him to use his abilities.The girls come running in and jump up to me, I loved all the hugs they gave. Since Logan had grown, he didn’t want the hugs as much and preferred a fist bump.“Daddy, come play” they speak in unison, their deep green eyes piercing my own as they grinned and as I lower them to the ground, they tug at my hands, as I allow them to pull me out towards their room.Turning the corner, the girls scream as we come face to face with Logan. Irina comes running out and grabs Logans hands, dropping to her knees as she tries to pull him from his trance. His eyes were a solid white and I call for an omega to take the girls. We hadn’t seen Logan like this in years.“Logan!”He doesn’t respond and Irina goes into panic mode, tears streaming down her face as she whispers ‘don’t do this’
