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?

I wasn’t going to allow you to leave if you wouldn’t come here and let us have a discussion!”That was me shouting at the top of my voice and sweating profusely because of what had happened between the both of us some minutes ago.I didn’t know what else to tell her. I wasn’t too shy to face her, but she had tried to get herself away from me.No, I wasn’t going to allow that.“What else did you want from me, Lucien? Clearly, you could see that I wasn’t in the mood for this,” she had said, sitting on the edge of my desk with her legs crossed and her arms folded tightly over her chest.I couldn’t tell if she was angry or mad at me because of what had happened earlier. She was making me have different thoughts that were driving me insane.She had been thinking. She had been overthinking, actually. I could see it in the way she bit her lower lip, the way her fingers tapped against her arm slowly, and now, all I wanted was to have a word with her so that
Irene"Stop it!"A sharp gasp tore from my lips as I was ripped from Peris’ hold with a brutal and sudden force that I barely had time to register what was happening.My feet stumbled over themselves, and before I could regain my balance, I was lying flat on the cold, hard ground. The impact of the fall sent a dull ache through my palms and knees.What the hell had just happened? I had fallen down? How? One moment, Lucien had sent him away.Then, the next minute, he had jerked him off the ground and thrown me to the floor.You might think I was at fault for following Peris after Lucien had dismissed him. But I wasn’t! I swear, I wasn’t. I had simply been following my bodyguard.My head snapped up in time to see Peris being kicked into the air like someone without bones.His body twisted mid-air before he landed with a harsh thud, rolling over the dirt.He groaned in pain, struggling to push himself up, but the menace of a man standing over him made it clear—he wasn’t allowed to move.
LucienChris barged into my office without knocking, distracting me from my work.His heavy boots kept hitting against the hard floor as he approached my desk, and I had to decide whether to leave everything I was doing to focus on him or not.“You need to get rid of him,” he informed me, and finally, after more consideration, I didn’t look up from the documents I was reviewing.“Get rid of who?” I asked, my eyes still on the documents, and Chris scoffed, placing his hands on my desk.“Peris,” he said, and I was quite surprised that this was coming from him.If anybody was to be complaining about this, it would be Irene, not him.At that, I finally raised my head.“What about him? Did he do something wrong, or did he go against the rules of this pack?” I asked, and Chris’s lips curled in disgust.“The truth is, he is a menace. He’s not doing his job. He’s too busy drooling over Irene like some pathetic fool. I caught him again today, hovering around her like a lost puppy. It was very
IreneIf I had been given an award for the many times I had called Peris names, then I was quite sure I would have had a lot.There was nothing good about him, and trust me, I wasn’t saying all of this because he was my ex.I was saying this because he was no good. That was the plain truth, and I wasn’t trying to mince my words.He hadn’t been a good person, and up until now, I was still in shock that Alpha Lucien had brought him to me.All of them had been the same. They had all been the same.I let out a frustrated sigh, rubbing my arms as Peris leaned lazily against the wall. He still had his usual infuriating smirk on full display, and it did nothing to make me feel better.Now, I regretted not having a gun because if I had had one, I would have shot him in the head long ago."You’re a pest," I complained, shaking my head. I didn’t care about how he felt; as long as the message was passed, then it was all good. "A stubborn, annoying, insufferable pest,” I added, and he just laughe
IreneI slammed my door shut, leaning against it for support as my heart pounded against my ribs.Peris. Of all people.It felt like some cruel joke and a twisted punishment.How could Lucien have done this to me?This was a slap in the face. It was an insult. He had so many men to choose from, but he had to get my ex.Taking a shaky breath, I pressed my forehead against the cool wood of the door.I needed to relax and relieve myself from this kind of prank that was being played on me.How was I going to cope with this? There had to be a way somehow. Lucien had to change it and send him away. That was all I wanted.But my moment of peace was short-lived as I heard a funny noise echoing through the walls, and surprisingly, it was coming close to me.I stiffened at the sound of it. I didn’t know what to expect, and I wasn’t scared.As long as what was coming wasn’t here to kill me, then I was cool.Slowly, I turned the knob and cracked the door open just enough to see him.It was Peris,
IreneI barely made it two steps into the hallway before Eve appeared in front of me, looking so fierce as if she was about to fight someone.Hatred burned in her eyes, and I almost turned to take another route.I was sick of her. The other day, Lucien swore with everything in him that she was only going to stay for a few days, but now? That wasn’t the case.She was here to stay, and she had gotten so comfortable."You really have no shame, do you?" she sneered, and I sighed, already tired of the endless back and forth between us."What do you want, Eve? If I’m not mistaken, I didn’t do anything to you. Can you just let me be?” I asked, sighing for the second time.“Who cares, silly? I’m just here to remind you that you are going beyond your bounds,” she said, and I could feel her breath blowing hot against my face. “You think you can come in here, demand things, and have Lucien protect you like some fragile little princess? You are mistaken. I think I have to put an end to that.”I s
Lucien I could feel my wolf stir the moment I saw Chris go too close to Irene. He had been trying to harass her in my very presence without fear. Had he been blind to see that I was there? Or had he forgotten his place? The possessiveness slammed into me like a rush of waves, tightening my chest and heating up my blood. My fingers clicked and my hand tightened as I took a slow breath, willing myself to stay calm. Chris had no idea what he was playing with. Maybe I had been too cool with him, and he hadn’t realized how bad what he was doing was. And as for Irene? She sat stiffly in her chair, her face tight and her eyes dark with fear, so I thought. I caught a slight tension in her shoulders. I also saw the way her body fidgeted and the way her hand curled under the table as if she were restraining herself from doing something silly. She didn’t like his presence. Neither did I, and I was going to show him that now. “Back off!” I yelled at him, my voice filled with enough aut

Lucien“Women are the greatest manipulators.”I was beginning to understand when my uncle used to say this. They must have attended the same school because they all exhibited the same character. I couldn't take my mind off the moment Irene came to meet me. Thinking about it made my skin burn with anger. She thought she was going to seduce me just like that? I was not a sex starved man! Come on, I had a lot more going on with me than to get seduced. My room was quiet when my phone rang after all my rants. I didn’t need to check the caller ID because I already knew who it was. I had been expecting this and it was surprising it came in later than expected. I let it ring a few more times before answering. I didn't want to come off as desperate just because I answered the call quickly. “Kael. You called me. Is all well?” I asked and a smooth low chuckle echoed through the line. He was trying to make me annoyed but it wasn't going to work this time. I had conditioned my mind not 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,...
