In a time where it is impossible for women to provide for themselves, Irene has to find her chosen mate to take care of herself and her younger brother, but it’s almost impossible as she is known as the Traitor’s Daughter and no Alpha wants to be with her. What happens when she ends up being forced to seek help for the man responsible for her misfortune? The man who put those false accusations and had her father executed? A man with many scars, both physically and mentally?
Lihat lebih banyakIreneWhy the hell was the document a secret? This was not making any single sense to me."You knew,” I thundered and the words left my lips as they crashed into his ears.Lucien stood frozen, watching me. Maybe he didn't know what to say but I could only tell that he was faking everything.He was pretending to be sad as I accused him of everything. He was aware of how seeing this was towards me.He knew I felt bad just because of what I saw and all he could do was to stand there and say nothing?Come on, Lucien. He needed to do better, and I am not going to leave without a fucking explanation.I took a shaky breath, gripping the document tighter in my trembling hands."You knew my father wasn’t guilty,” My voice shook but I forced myself to keep speaking because I was going to demand answers from this already dumb man. "You had proof, Lucien. You had Proof that could have saved him, and you did nothing. Why are you so heartless?”I asked, pouring out my heart to him.I was beginning t
IreneAfter dealing with Silas’ issues, I found myself in Lucien’s room while he was out.I missed that cocky bastard. I found myself looking for things in his room. I didn’t know what exactly I was looking for, but I kept searching."What else are you hiding from me, Lucien?" I asked, tracing my fingers over the leather-bound journal on his desk.I knew I shouldn’t be doing this. But the moment I saw my father’s name written on the edge of a page, I had every reason to.I felt guilty for a while because I was intruding on his privacy, but…I wasn’t going to apologize.I had been waiting for answers but had found none, and he had also refused to talk to me about it.His handwriting was bold and easy to read, and I pierced my eyes through every word."The pack deserves better.""I will do anything to protect them, even if it means making impossible choices.""Irene... if she ever knew the truth..."I sucked in a sharp breath, and my heart fell. This was all written by Lucien, and it wa
Irene"Who the hell was knocking at this hour?" I asked again through gritted teeth.I was already mad that my pleasurable moment had been disrupted by this knock.“Should I go and get the door?” I asked Lucien because the knock on the door was only getting louder as each second went by.I clicked my tongue on the roof of my mouth. I was torn between frustration and concern because of the sharp and relentless pounding on the door.My breathing was still uneven, and my body was still heated up from Lucien’s touch, and now… this.Lucien groaned behind me, his hands still resting on my waist, and he refused to let me go."Ignore it," he muttered, and his voice was thick with irritation. "Whatever it is, it can wait. Let's finish what we started,” Lucien said, trying to take my mind away from what was happening.I tried to focus on him, but the knocking only grew more desperate.Something was wrong.I exhaled sharply, stepping away from Lucien’s warmth and pulling my dress tighter around
Lucien"You are lucky you have a thick skull. Sometimes, I wonder if you feel pain with these wounds on your body," Irene said to me as she began tending to my wounds.Her touch was unbearably soft, and I wished this could go on forever. I enjoyed the way she was taking care of me like I was some little child."This is nothing compared to what I have had before, Irene. I doubt if I feel any pain. Besides, I'm a man. Do you expect me to cry like a child?" I asked her, and she smiled.She dipped the cloth into the bowl of water beside her, wrung it out, and pressed it gently against the cut on my cheek.The sting was nothing compared to the ache in my chest. That ache had nothing to do with bruises or broken bones. It was entirely different."Oh, really? I see. I never expected you to cry out anyway," she said, and I tried to smile."I have had worse. That's just the point," I muttered, and she shot me a look, unimpressed."Stop saying that. It's not something to be proud of," she scold
IreneI heard a sharp crash of something breaking downstairs, making me jerk up from my chair."What the hell is going on down there?” I asked no one in particular as the sound came louder this time.At first, I thought it was just an object smashing into the wall, but that was not the case.The sound was too loud for such an assumption, and it was too early for anything to be happening.My heart pounded as I listened, straining to catch the voices through the thick walls that blocked everywhere.While my ears stood erect and I placed it almost to the door of my room, I heard more shouting, followed by a deep, loud growl that was so familiar."Isn't that Lucien?” I asked, and immediately, my fear heightened.What was happening that would make him shout that way?I didn’t wait to spend another minute in my room. I was already changing into a better cloth, and quickly, I pushed the door open.Looking down from upstairs, the sight of what I saw made my stomach drop.It was Lucien and Kae
Lucien"You didn't hear this from me, but... your woman has been in Kael’s bed for weeks."Those words hit my ears hard, and I stopped mid-step.This was serious, and it was a very harsh accusation that needed to be defended.Perhaps I didn’t hear him well. Maybe my mind was playing games with me.Nowadays, I wasn’t able to rest properly, so I was hearing things. Maybe this day was part of those days.Slowly, I turned to face the guard and looked at the mouth where the words left.He stood stiffly like a statue when he saw me, but I saw the glint in his eyes despite him looking blank.He was pretending, and he was trying to deceive me. A glint that said he knew exactly what he was doing."What did you just say?" I asked him, urging him to repeat what he just said, but he refused.He was daring me. I was not going to take it lightly.The guard hesitated, scratching his head, then took a small step back as if realizing he had gone too far. But he didn’t take his words back."I overheard
IreneI stumbled a little as I returned and tried to regain myself before I lost it again.To my surprise, Kael was outside Lucien's room when I got there. My suspicion about him heightened, knowing fully well that I barely knew him.I didn't know him too well.I froze, fingers tightening around the door handle.I could hear Kael’s smooth and confident voice, but there was something unsettling about the way he said it.As if he knew something I didn’t know.He stared at me like he had already decided the outcome of whatever this conversation was going to be.Slowly, I turned to watch him.Lucien’s room was just behind me, and I could still remember our last conversation.But now, I was standing there in the corridor, face to face with the last person I expected to see at this hour.Kael didn't seem to care about what was happening. He placed his hand in his pocket, staring mischievously at me.I hated his eyes more than anything in the world."What do you want?" I asked, keeping my vo
Irene“You shouldn’t be here. I thought you were going to turn it down. But I forgot that I was dealing with Irene,” Kael teased, and it set my nerves on edge.Oh shit! That sounded a little bit disrespectful. What could I say to that? Would I be able to defend myself? I doubted it.But I was here for business, not for a random reason.I tightened my grip on the edge of the table, keeping my face neutral. I didn’t want his words to get to me.“Neither should you. Stop acting like you are different,” I fired back at him.I was not ready to take any chances at this point. I knew why I was here.He smirked, leaning back against the bar, his expression calculated.“I see… you don't always have to be so aggressive, anyway. I was just testing the waters,” he responded, and I pouted.That sounded like a stupid excuse.While he stood in front of me, I remembered what Lucien had said. He had warned me to stay away from Kael, saying he wasn’t what he seemed.But I wasn’t the type to be warned o
IreneLucien was gone, but I still remembered everything he said to me. He called me a liar straight to my face just because I didn’t want to tell him what my brother and I were talking about.I went back to look for Lucien, who was about to leave his study to go to who knows where.“Why did you accuse me of lying, Lucien? I need to know!” I yelled the moment I barged into his study.Lucien looked confused to see me, but I was already prepared for war if he wanted to bring it up again.“Excuse me? Why are you here, Irene?” he asked.To my surprise, Lucien’s voice was calm, but I could feel the tension buried beneath it.He tried to compose himself as he stared at me, but I was so good at pushing him to the wall.“I hate repeating myself. I'm here for the same reason you entered my room when I was talking with my brother. Is that a better answer now?” I asked, and his eyes glowed slightly as they pierced into mine.Why was he looking at me with so much anger in his eyes? Was he about t
Irene's POV "You have to hurry Irene!" The twigs snapped rapidly under my legs with each movement, but I still didn't feel fast enough. We were the only wolves living in a cottage deep in the woods. I always told Dad that we had to move into the city and stay with the other pack members but he never listened."Come on Dad, the wood is so isolated. Whenever I head to the city, people call me a freak, and I don't blame them at all. I mean, we live in the goddamn woods!" I would say."A werewolf should live in their territory, not outside," He would reply.Now here I was, almost breathless from running for miles. I couldn't stop to catch my breath because I was worried—and for the first time in years, I was... Scared.Familiar faces stared at me as light shone brightly on my face at the entrance to the house, the looks on their faces horrifying, but it couldn't be compared to Silas's, my little brother. He looked like he had seen something worse than a ghost.Without talking to anyone,...
