Lucian

There was something about her that bothered me. This was not the Irene I knew.

She was acting so strange, and it made me so unsettled. Why is it that all of a sudden, she was beginning to respect me? Why was she being submissive all of a sudden?

Did something enter her?

While I was still standing there, gritting my teeth and clouding my mind with thoughts about her. Irene came in looking all radiant and beautiful.

“Good day,” she said, greeting all the pack members she set her eyes on with a polite smile on her face.

She nodded when appropriate and minded how she talked to them.

Her sudden change and action took me aback, and I could have sworn that this might have been a different person if she hadn't had the same face.

It was as though she had become the perfect Luna overnight.

My wolf became alert because we knew Irene wouldn't act this way if she didn't want something.

She was up to something, and I could feel it in my bones. But what?

I could not bring myself to answ

    IreneIt was dead at night, and all that could be heard was the sounds of cricket. I woke up when the clock hit 12. I had longed to sleep, but I could not. What I wanted sounded easy, but it wasn't easy to get.Ever wonder what would happen if we both stopped pretending? The question slipped from my lips before I could stop myself.We both didn't like ourselves, and it was clear that we were not meant to be together. Why couldn't he allow me to go my separate way?I was unsure if I was talking to myself as the heavy silence in the room made things worse. The wind that blew into the room was quite cold as the midnight stretched on. I held my breath still as my eyes rested on the forbidden book. The book that contains the Pack Secrets lay in front of me. This was the right time to read this book since Lucian was not in any way around me. My pulse increased, as well as my heartbeat. I felt haunting eyes surrounding me, and I held my breath for a long time. I had just one thing to

    Lucian“I’m not in the mood for games. What do you need me for?” I growled, pinching the bridge of my nose. “I'm sorry for disturbing you, Lucian. But it's something urgent,” My beta answered and I sighed, moving out of the room to meet him in the office. The tension I was feeling now had little to do with the Beta standing before me and everything to do with the woman I had left in my chambers.“Fuck it! Fuck everything,’ I cursed under my breath. “You should know that whenever I go into my room, I become very busy and I need no disturbance,” I said to him over the call, and the memory of her lying on the bed close to me made my skin warm. “I'm sorry, Lucian. I will take note of that next time,” he answered. If he had not called me away, I might have done something stupid, like kissing her just to silence that sharp tongue of hers.My body was beginning to betray me. Why would I be thinking about having my lips on her soft lips? Wasn't it crazy? Heat stirred low in my loins and

    IreneThe last person I expected behind me was Lucian. When his hand rested on my shoulder, I froze and my body became stiff. Luckily for me, I was able to drag him out before the other Alpha saw him. Knowing Lucian well, he was going to burn down the place if he had the chance to. “You enjoy the attention far too much. I can see. You love it when these men cluster all over you and tell you sweet names. You allow it to get into your head,” Lucian said to me and I was getting pissed already. “I do not have control over the situation that you are talking about. I am simply doing my best,” I countered, almost dismissing him but I knew the consequences of my actions if I tried that. Alpha Lucian stared at me straight in the eyes and he chuckled lightly. “I don't think I want to hear anything concerning this, Irene. You know what you did was wrong. If I were you, I would apologize.”“Apologize? For what?” I asked, widening my eyes in fear. “You will know soon,” he answered and his vo

    Irene“Alpha Radcliffe was going to help me escape?”My eyebrows shot up when I jammed the door forcefully after he left. He sounded so serious about what he was offering as he talked to me.I needed this badly and he could tell. After thinking about it for some time, I discovered that there was no way he could tell Lucian about this. I decided to take the risk. After all, I have been taking risks since I stepped my feet into this place and I wasn't dead yet. First, I had to find Alpha Radcliffe.***"You should have stayed in bed, Irene,” I said to myself when I found myself in the venue where he told us to meet. The only thing surrounding me were bushes and as I stepped deeper into the forest, I could only hear the sounds from the crickets in the dark. The moon was still shining bright, casting its light over my path. I had no idea what I was doing. But I was sure that I was on my way to meet the man who would help me with my escape. My heart thumped forcefully in a rhythmic

    Irene“Do you ever regret being alive, Irene?”I wished I could tell how long this question has come back haunting but I already knew the answer even if it was not spoken out loud. And if I could open my mouth to speak concerning this for a second, anyone would have pity on me. While seated in the cold dungeon that Alpha Lucian had thrown me in, I could hear my father's voice echoing so clearly as if he was with me in the dungeon.I looked around, trying to find out if there was anyone with me but there wasn't. I was the only one here with a cold and insects sucking my blood every second that passed. “Lucian really did this to me?” I asked myself. I still could not believe it. He had always hated me but this was too extreme. I laid back on the cold wall in the dungeon, my skin pressing firmly on the wall and I began to remember all the time I had spent with my father. Some years ago, we had been together, arguing about so many things. I was just young then, too young to underst

    Lucian“What is it about her that won’t let me breathe? What is so special about that lady that I can't sleep well at night? What is so special about her that I wake up thinking about her?”The question tore through my thoughts as I stood outside the heavy door that separated us.I was crazy. I knew I was. I should not have been here. I had no business pacing the halls like some restless wolf chasing its prey. But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t get her out of my head.Irene.Why was I suddenly missing her defiant attitude towards me? Why was I feeling lonely because she was not here around me? The house was empty without her, and I hated the silence.I was the one who threw her in the cell so that she could learn some lessons and now, I'm beginning to worry too much about her. She was nothing but trouble. She was stubborn, defiant, and so annoyingly captivating that it made my chest tighten.I should not miss her. I should not care about her sharp tongue or the fire that burn

    Irene“Don't go, Lucian! Don't step your feet out of this place, please!” I shouted at the top of my voice, gripping the bars of the cell as I struggled to get up.Luckily for me that worked. He stopped. He did! Lucian stopped to listen to me? Am I dreaming?I held the bars harder, my legs shaking even more. I wanted to scream at him, to tell him harsh words that will cause more pain in his heart.“Do you take pride in making me miserable, Lucien? Do you really love seeing me this way? You love the way I'm suffering right here in the cell?” I blurted out, my voice trembling with frustration.His face remained as pale as fuck, as if my words were nothing more than an annoying buzz in his ears.What the hell was wrong with him? Was he that heartless? How was I sure the man standing in front of me has a heart?Wel

    IreneAgain, it was as if I got heartbroken anytime he decided to leave me to myself.I could not believe it when I heard the door creak open, and after I heard the sound, there was an unmistakable silence in my roomI had thought he had left me for good, not even caring to give me a proper goodbye, but here he was, standing in front of me again as if nothing had happened."I thought you left," I blurted out, wishing I could hit me with my fist continuously but I could not.I was still stuck in here. Before I could catch myself, I quickly added."I'm sorry, Lucien. I didn't mean it like that. I'm really sorry. Please, forgive me.”But I saw it. The storm that was hidden deep inside of him was still raging in his eyes.I was confused by what was happening at first until I discovered that the anger had n

    Lucien“Lucien, my friend, it was truly my pleasure to be there,” Alpha Kael had said to me, and he kept chuckling to himself like he was the one who had been invited here and not the other way around.His laugh hadn't seemed genuine, and if I had heard it another time, I would have lost it.He thought he had more strength in this little game of ours than he actually did.I didn’t need his pleasantries. In fact, he could go to hell if he wanted.“Chris, give him whatever he wants. Make sure he’s comfortable,” I had informed my beta, and he had noticed that I had sounded too cold.Kael had waved his hand nonchalantly, and I squeezed my face. What the hell was his problem?“Breakfast, please. Nothing extravagant, just something simple. It’s early, and I haven’t had a proper meal since last night.”It was none of my business if he hadn’t eaten for days, but anyway, I was the host, so I had to act like one.I nodded and motioned for Chris to take care of him. Then, Kael had turned to me,

    IreneI felt so warm when I woke up and my body was on the softest bed sheets I had ever known.I didn't know what had happened to me, but I felt so satisfied.My eyes snapped open. I noticed it was morning already, but I felt a sharp pain shooting out from my head.My heart slammed against my ribs as the events of last night flooded back.Lucien, again! Now, I couldn't deny that I had loved every bit of what had happened last night.His touch, His lips, his body. Everything had felt right, and I could still feel the fire that had consumed the both of us.I sat up immediately, only to feel the cool air brush against my bare skin.Then, I looked down.“Oh my God!” I blurted out and quickly held my mouth with my hand after a gasp tore through me.I struggled to pull up the sheets tighter around my body, and I could hardly breathe.I had been completely exposed beneath the covers, lying across Lucien’s bed like it was a normal thing.It was then I began to panic. What had I really done?

    Lucien“You weren’t leaving, Irene! 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
