Irene
I wanted to get perfect answers to most questions I had in mind.
For some minutes, I battled within myself. I wanted to go back to that window and check Lucien and Radcliffe.
I was intrigued by what he could be saying. But doing all of these was going to waste too much time.
I needed to help my brother. Without thinking twice, I readjusted my dress and headed back out of the door.
***
"You are not supposed to be here," I muttered to myself and my voice trembled as I stood outside Lucien's office door.
I was here because of one thing, to search through his things for some documents that might have answers to my question.
As I stood in front of his office door, my feet refused to move and my fingers tightening on the cold metal handle of the door.
The door was slightly ajar and a
LucienSomething was definitely wrong somewhere. I didn't need an angel to whisper that into my ears because I could feel it.And I could swear that I was imagining things because my instincts kept on convincing me that something was wrong.Quickly, I ran to my office and a faint but distinct scent hit me first.The scent was that of strawberry but I could not tell who exactly had been here.It was difficult to tell. I stand in front of my office door, staring at the sight that took me aback.The door to my office was slightly ajar. This was a detail no one else would have noticed, but me.My office was never open. Never.What happened now?This means that I have been right all these while. Someone definitely came in here.I pushed the
IreneI was relaxed where I was, sipping a cold glass of wine when I heard a startled scream.“What is happening this time around? There was no day in this pack that someone would actually get rest,” I said to myself and I decided to ignore the noise.But it was not just a scream. It felt like a raging commotion and the loud sounds of people raising their voices kept echoing through the walls like a loud thunder.“Oh, my God. I hope nothing is happening,” I panicked and my heart skipped.I left the glass of wine on my table and I quickly rushed out of my room.From the staircase, I looked down to check what exactly was happening that was making the pack so loud this morning.When I looked around, at first I thought it was nothing. All I could see as an argument among the servants that walked i
Lucien“Who could have the pack's secret in his hand?” I asked no one in particular.I was quite in awe when the night crept on me like a thief. Staring straight into the sky, all I could see was the star that blinked faintly.The moon had since disappeared and the cold air pushed through my windows.I could not shake the uneasy feeling that gripped me tightly and refused to let me go. It kept on tightening its hold with every second that passed.“Who could have done this? I have made a mess of myself towards Irene and now, I can't face her because of how angry she was towards me,” I lamented bitterly and the words felt like vinegar on my lips.I knew I should have apologized to her but she didn't seem to want to have anything to do with me since the search.Oh, Lucien. You fucke
Irene“Was it possible for someone to stalk me in the dark?”I had been running since forever and my legs were beginning to ache badly so I had to stop and find a place to rest for a few minutes.My breaths were shallow and quick and the cold night air kept on biting at my already weak lungs as I paused.My ears were alert and they strained for any strange sound beyond the natural sound that the forest makes.Someone was following me. I could feel it.I kept breathing heavily, my eyes monitoring everything that was happening.I pressed my back against the trunk of a large tree and its rough bark dug into my skin. I was quite sure that the bark of the tree must have given me some marks.My heart pounded furiously in my chest. I feared that my heart beat was so lou
Lucien“Oh, for goodness sake, Irene! Is it because I allowed you to talk back to me that made you grow wings?” I thundered.This defiant being had made hell set loose and I was going to teach her a lesson.“Do your worst, Lucien! I don't care if you are going to kill me not. Afterall, I was almost killed by those rogues and I'm in pain. You can sum it all by sending me to an early grave!”She was still blabbing. No, no, no I couldn’t take it anymore.I grabbed her by the arm, shoving her against the nearest tree.“Do you think this is a joke?” I asked, my voice shaking with rage and she refused to look me in the eyes. “Look at me, you dumb ass!” I ordered, moving her face towards me. “Do you even understand what you have done? Do you understand the
EveThe door creaked faintly as I pushed it open. For some seconds, my knuckles lingered on the handle before I finally took that bold step to go in. “What if he sends you out?” A voice asked and I took a good look at myself. “There is no way he will be able to resist me. No way!” I was very much aware that Lucien’s mind was a mess after everything that had been happening to him. He had been receiving threats from every side and the only thing that might be on his mind was how he could come out of his mess. But here I was dressed up in sexy lingerie, right inside his room. My pointy nipples could be seen through the lingerie, and one would think it would make his mouth water, but that was not the case. “What do you want from me, Eve? What the hell are you doing in my room by this time of the day?” he asked, readjusting himself on his bed. “What do I look like I want? Isn't it easy? Can't you tell with your eyes?” I asked, moving closer to him to touch his bare skin. His skin
Lucien “You all know why we are here. I called for a meeting because it is urgent. As you might have heard, this pack is no longer safe for its People!” I informed the people who were present for the meeting. This meeting has been long overdue as things had begun to go overboard and I was not willing to take chances. “What are the guards doing then, if this pack can be invaded by our enemies?” One of the pack elders asked and silence seized in the meeting hall. “They are doing their best. I clearly won't be able to blame them. Sometimes, these invaders might outsmart out which is pretty normal. The guards are doing their best and I make sure they are,” I answered on their behalf. Note, I was not trying to defend them because there was no point doing that. “You think they are? I think that the guards are the one allowing the mishaps,” another notable member of the pack shouted from the far end where he was seated and ot
LucienIt was useless trying to read the documents in front of me. They kept getting blurry the more I stared into the papers.I had read the same page five times now, yet not a single word had stuck.There were a lot of things on my neck, a lot of things to do. Yet, I couldn't commit anything to memory?“Something must be wrong with me. I was not like this before,” I growled in frustration.I had to give myself a second chance and while I was trying to go through the files, I discovered that the files were not as complete as before.This only meant one thing, someone else must have laid hands on it.“Damn it! These people keep testing my patience!”With a frustrated growl, I shoved the papers aside, sending them scattering across the desk.
IreneNo way! This has to be a slap to my face. I refused to smile. I just discovered what Silas has been doing and it made me broken. All these while he has been doing this yet he pretends everytime he came to meet me."You're still talking to Kael? After everything you said? Wait! Can you convince me that you are making sense?” I asked Silas and he could clearly see that I was very mad. I couldn't stop the words from tesrkng out of me. I couldn't dare hold my rage back. “Can you at least allow me talk?” He asked me and I just shook my head in shame. Silas was my brother but he was not who I thought he was..“I gave you every opportunity to say all you wanted to say,” I said and my voice shook. My voice didn't shake out of fear but from pure, boiling rage. There was nothing he could say to me at this time that would cause me to believe him. He was a liar and he didn't know how to do that properly. I stared at Silas, daring him to lie to me again. To my greatest surprise, he wa
IreneWhen the current situation hit me hard to my chest like a bullet, I didn't just sit there and wait for the worst calamity to befall me before I left. I ran with all my might. I went to Sila's apartment which was separated from the others. This was a good thing for me. I didn't want to see anyone. I didn't want anyone to ask me any useless question regarding my mood. I needed some space and I didn't want anyone to disturb me whatsoever. Most people had sworn that they were going to make my life a living hell but I wasn't going to allow that to happen. I was in control of my life and I was not going to allow anyone to gain access into my life and mess things up. That was not all…I had decided that I won't be wasting my energy on things that don't matter. Instead, I would use it to find out something that had been wrong with the park. It might sound strange to the ears but trust me, it's a better development than allowing myself to cry every time someone says something terr
Lucien "Where is she?"That was the first thing I asked when I stepped through the front doors.I needed to see Irene immediately and I was not going to mix my words. I was taken aback when I noticed that Irene is no longer present. I used my eyes to search through the rooms but she was nowhere to be found. What kind of prank was she playing this time around? Irene knew how to get on someone's nerves so fast and this time, I was not going to take it easy with her. “I asked a fucking question! Where is she?” I demanded and my voice was sharp and demanding, shaking the walls of the room. I wasn’t even sure who I was talking to until I saw a few maids standing awkwardly by the hallway, their hands folded in front of them and their eyes darting around like they were scared. They looked like they were being punished and I couldn't tell which crime they committed. The truth is, I didn't care to ask. It was none of my business. Although, it was awkward seeing them in this condition.
Irene "She's not even a Luna. So why is everyone acting like she matters? I hate her!”There were so many things I heard when I was coming down the stairs and it made me stop dead in my tracks. I had to look at the direction that voice came from and it hurt me badly to see that a maid was the person saying terrible things about me. It hurt my feelings that I was referred to as someone who wasn't Luna yet and the worst thing was that I was being hated because of my simple existence. “You are right. She keeps acting like someone who is very important when she's not. I have no idea why the Alpha still keeps her here,” another supported what the first maid said and goosebumps appeared all over my body. “He claims he loves her, which I doubt. How the hell did he love someone like that?”The sound of the maid’s voice hit me like a stone to the chest and because of all that I heard, I could barely breathe. I wasn’t even trying to eavesdrop. I just wanted to get some air, to walk past t
LucienI clenched my jaw as I walked into the council chamber, closing the heavy wooden doors creaking behind me. I was here to meet the elders to discuss something important. This was not something I usually do because I mostly summoned them when I wanted to scold them for something stupid that they did. Right now? I didn't know. I was not in the right frame of mind. I barely walked in with my head raised up high and the room was already smelling because of the fire burning beside them. I was a little bit reminded that I was dealing with the elders who thought they had better authorities in front of me. The elders sat in a semicircle, their eyes narrowing the moment I stepped in. I already knew what was coming.I was expecting anything from them. I was expecting them to wail and to wag their tongues in anger. But, I was already not bothered about anything that they had to say to me. "Lucien," Elder Faron spoke first, his tone sounding so disappointed. He was about to say somet
IreneMy stomach was rumbling greatly and I didn't need an angel to tell me to run down the stairs to the dining. I had never anticipated eating in this manner. As I ran down, I could hear the sound of my heavy footsteps echoing through the walls. My stomach twisted in knots. It didn't seem like hunger this time. It was more like the uneasy feeling I felt inside me. I began to think about stupid things that I shouldn't be bothered about. At this point, I didn’t want to face anyone. I didn't want to see Lucien or Silas or even Camille. But I knew I had to eat, and hiding away in my room forever wasn’t an option. As I reached the dining hall, I stopped at the doorway and took a deep breath. Damn! The food was so good that it hit my nostrils before I could enter the dining room. I knew immediately that this scene was coming from roasted meat and fresh bread. I salivated and my mouth watered. I needed to be in that room, digging into my food..I swallowed some saliva down my thr
Kael POVMy sister sent for me and I couldn't decline her request, knowing fully well that she wanted to see me. There was a reason for that and there was a lot to discuss. I flipped my jacket over the chair when I got to the room where my sister was seated. "You wanted to see me. Now, I'm here. I'm really glad you were patient and waited until I came,” I said to her and I signalled a servant to get me some cold water because of how badly I was boiling inside. My sister, Liora, sat across from me with her arms crossed and even though I just commended her for waiting for me, she still had a mild look of impatience on her face."How far along is she?" she asked, without waiting too much time. "Irene, I mean,” she added and I tried hard to hide my smile. “She’s okay. Irene is very much okay but She is still fighting it. Irene is stubborn, as expected but she is this close to giving in. She just needs a little more push, and she will have no choice but to come to me,” I answered and
Irene"Meet me at the back of the pack tonight,” Kael said to me after he decided how and when we were going to meet. I had already had it in mind that the reason I was doing all of these was because I was desperate. But, my wolf won't let me deceive myself to that extent. She kept on bringing countless thoughts and suggestions to me but thankfully, I was able to shut her out. But, it was only for a short while…“You heard me, didn't you?” Kael asked and he sounded almost amused, as if he already knew my answer.“Why? Why should I meet you at the back of the pack house? And at night?” I asked, narrowing my eyes but he only looked at me as though I wasn't serious with what I wanted. To him, if I was serious. I wouldn't ask any question. I would just accept his request immediately. "You want the truth, don’t you?" He asked me and that made the hair on my body stand erect. That was where the problem was. I was being guilt trapped by everything that was happening around me. He knew
Irene“But you know what, Irene? You are the last person I expected to see crawling back to me,” Kael said, bursting my bubbles. The switch in his reaction was crazy. So, everything he said to me earlier was just to deceive me that he actually felt good about helping me. This time, his eyes were burning with fire and his smile appeared wicked. I looked lost in everything and his laughter came rumbling close to my ears. I almost wanted to walk away from him so that I could ignore the way his words made me feel bad. The reason I was here was not because I wanted to waste my time or to settle whatever we had in the past. I had one purpose, and I wouldn’t let his arrogance distract me.“Are you done?” I asked him and my voice flat remained flat and unimpressed.Kael smirked, pushing himself off the wall. “Not even close,” he answered. “I knew you might be wondering why I decided to honour your call. Tell me, princess, why would someone like you want to talk to someone like me? Were
