Irene’s POV

"He’s not as strong as he thinks. Can't you all see? Even your Alpha can't stand up to me!" Kael kept shouting to the people who watched, his voice echoing in public.

He flexed his muscles in their faces, his confidence as bold as his voice.

He was behaving like a little child and it made me worried. The duel was yet to begin, yet he kept bragging to the onlookers, claiming he was very powerful.

I decided not to stay hidden in the shadows, choosing instead to listen as he spoke to a few pack members.

He sounded so confident, parading himself before the people like he was already certain of victory.

Everything about him annoyed me, and I wasn’t sure I could stand him any longer.

“Lucien may be Alpha,” Kael said with his chin lifted high with so much arrogance, “but that title won’t protect him when we meet on the field. Strength isn’t just about force. It’s about influence and power. And I have got both.”

A few low chuckles rumbled from his audience, and the sound made my

    LucienI couldn't sit still no matter how hard I tried.My legs kept moving and my foot tapped the floor continuously.I ran my hand through my hair, pulling it a little too hard, but it didn't help. Nothing helped at this point.“Shit,” I muttered, low at first. Then again, I said it louder. “Shit!”I stood up and started pacing around. I smacked my hand against the wall, the sound sounded so sharp and angry, but it didn't make me feel better.I was so agitated.And nothing seemed to be working for me. I hated feeling this way.“Damn it!” I crackled, and the words came out sharply and sounded bitter as the burn of liquor slid down my throat.I hated how all these made me feel, making me feel like less of a man and more of a fool.But it was the truth, wasn’t it? Irene didn’t care. She never had.I slammed the empty glass that once contained whisky down, and the sharp clatter rang in my ears.The bottle of whiskey sat half-finished on the table, and with a few more gulps, I would be d

    Irene"I can't keep doing this," I whispered, though I wasn't sure if I was saying it to him or to myself.Lucien’s hand paused mid-air, hovering over my cheek. He had just tried to kiss me, and now, that was all I could think of.My breath kept coming out in gasps, and I felt the tension pressing down my neck.My wolf howled inside me, yearning for him, pulling me toward the very thing I knew I shouldn’t want.But I stepped back.His eyes darkened, confusion and pain swirling within them."Irene..." he called and continued. "I…"I cut him off with a shake of my head. I didn’t need that now."Don’t, Lucien. Please, don't say a word. As you can see, I don't need it.”But he wasn’t the kind of man who could be turned away so easily.He tightened his fist and almost left me to drown in the silence. But then, he spoke, and his soft voice reached my ears."I’m sorry for everything. I'm sorry for hurting you," he pleaded. "Please, Irene. Forgive me."Why was he suddenly asking me for forgiv

    IreneI had a lot of things to say to Camilla, but none of it was coming out now. We were at the mall, and we had to sort ourselves out as ladies first.“I don’t think I can do this,” I said to her, making sure my voice was loud enough for her to hear.Right now, I was staring at my reflection in the dressing room mirror. I wanted to look good as I stepped out to get a few things.Camilla, on the other hand, was sitting on a nearby couch as if she had all the time in the world. She lifted her eyes to meet mine, and I knew she was about to say a lot when she cleared her throat.“You can and you will,” she said, her voice firm, as though it was law. “You just don’t know it yet. Very soon.”I sighed and turned back to the mirror.The dress I was wearing was one of my favorites, and it clung to my body. It was dark, sleek, and relatively expensive.It hugged my curves like it was made just for me.I wouldn’t deny it. The dress was beautiful and perfect. And yet, I wasn’t sure if I recogni

    Irene“What the hell was going on here?” I muttered to myself, asking no one in particular.I stood at the grand entrance of the house because I had just gotten back home.I had not expected to come home to a scene like this. Everywhere was rowdy, and so many people were moving about.It looked like a party was going on, but I wasn’t quite sure. The sound of glasses clinking against each other gave it away, and I could also hear slow music playing in the background.“A party?” I asked myself, but I didn’t want to conclude because I was not aware of one.I glanced around, trying to make sense of what was happening.I had only gone out for a short while with Camilla, and now it felt like the house had transformed into something else.Immediately, I spotted a maid passing by and called her over.“Excuse me,” I said. “What’s going on here?”The maid stopped, looking at me, and quickly lowered her eyes, clearly trying to avoid eye contact.“There is a gathering, Miss Irene.

    Irene“What!!!” I blurted out, clasping my hands over my mouth. I was being dramatic, I knew, but still, I couldn’t believe what I was seeing when I stepped down the stairs.What I was seeing right before me felt like something out of a nightmare.“This lady is out of her fucking mind!” I exclaimed, biting back my voice so that it wouldn’t come out loud.Eve was standing in the middle of the people, raising her shoulders arrogantly.She was laughing as she greeted some of the dignitaries. This was disrespectful to me, and it was a slap in my face.As if that wasn’t enough, what struck me the most was how she was dressed.She wore a dress that was undoubtedly more expensive than anything I ever owned.The fabric glimmered under the lights of the room, hugging her in all the right places. Her curves were so pronounced, and her makeup was flawless.She looked drop-dead gorgeous. Even though I hated her, I had to tell the truth.But it wasn’t just the dress for me. It was how she stood th

    IreneSilas came to my room, and he was not the person I wanted to see right now.We were not quarreling, but I was only pissed with everything that was happening around me."Don't ask me anything yet. You will know soon."“Why are you here, Silas? Are you here to make me angry or is it that you just can’t help yourself, can you?” I asked him, sounding so blunt and rude at him.I didn’t bother hiding the frustration in my voice as I folded my arms, staring at Silas. I needed him to see every bit of what I was going through.I was that mad.He stood in front of me, his face looking so confused. He decided not to back down so I could see how determined he was.Anyway, I was ready for all he had to give me because I had a lot in stock for him.“Irene, this isn’t about me. I don't know why you are acting so worked up today. Am I the problem?” he asked softly, and I bet that was not going to work on me.It wasn't going to work on me. Not even a bit.

    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“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

    Irene pov A month later, peace had finally returned to the pack and I could finally breathe. The air shifted and changed into something better and less contaminated. During that same time, I had been working really hard to gain the trust of the pack. "You know they're calling you 'The Gentle Luna' now, right?" Camila said, grinning as she handed me a mug of tea. I blinked and paused for a while. "Wait, what? Seriously?" I asked and She nodded at me. Her eyes were full of excitement. "It's spreading. The news is spreading outside the pack house. Even the traders in the market were saying how kind you were to the orphanage. Someone even mentioned you helped a little girl fix her broken doll. I'm so proud of you, sweetbreads,” she revealed and I chuckled, feeling warmth rise in my chest. "I didn't think people noticed that. This has to be very lovely news!” "Well, they did. And they are talking about it and they are doing that In a good way." That morning sunlight came i

    Lucien “It is done, Alpha.” The guards assured me about Malcolm's additional punishment already carried out. I felt at peace at last. The traitors had been punished, and the pack would begin to heal. Though Kael was still out there, I knew he was no match for me, especially since his actions had been so wildly spread. If he were to ever be seen, he would not escape my wrath.The pack members would see that he was duly executed. Left to him, I would have killed him. He touched Irene and that alone should have made me behead him myself. Irene joined me in our room after talking to Silas. I was content that they were bonding well. She came to meet me on the bed, her warmth a gentle reminder of why I shouldn't bother about anything. She was cool, she was ice and she was fire. As we rested, Irene asked. “Lucien, why did you spare the council member's lives? I mean, you had every right to kill them, but you didn't. That's the punishment for traitors, death.”I looked at her, my eyes sea

    Lucien“Long live the Alpha, long live the Alpha.”The crowd cheered loudly, content about the verdict I gave each of the traitors. It was the hardest for me to do. Tos sentence all seven of the council of Elders, but I was sure that was the right thing to do.“It's time for Malcolm Stark's verdict!” One of the guards announced. The ground fell silent as the elders were led away, their fate sealed. I nodded to the guards, my voice firm. "Bring Malcolm in."The guards returned with Malcolm, his eyes gleaming with desperation and anger. He wasn't remorseful. He didn't even reflect on what he had done. To him, he was right and everyone was wrong. He stood tall, his shoulders squared, but I saw the faintest tremble in his lips. As he faced me, his gaze darted around the room, searching for an ally or an escape.“If you're looking for where to run to, I assure you that you wouldn't move two feet without getting stabbed in your neck, so, relax and be good.” I said. The guards chained him

    LucienPeris would receive his judgement today. And then the council of Elders too. I didn't want to judge them altogether. I was going to hear each and everyone's side of the story. To me, that was fair and just. I was dressed and ready for the day when Irene came to stand by my side. "It's time for Peris's judgment," I said, my voice firm.She placed a hand on my arm, her eyes searching mine. "I wish you luck, my love,” she took a pause and went on. “Peris is not a man of many words, Lucien. He is timid and loyal, in his own way. Perhaps you should allow him to speak for himself. He might not even understand half of the plan.”I nodded, considering her words. When Silas and I had been listening to the conversation they had in Kael's house, Peris seemed like the last person to understand the plan. He wasn't much of a contributor, just a sleeping accomplice. "Very well," I said. "I'll hear him out. But, why am I feeling like you want me to spare him?”She laughed. “No, silly. I know

    Irene's POVI closed the door softly behind Lucien, his kiss still lingered on my lips. He said he wanted to meet with some pack members, to reassure them after the chaos of the arrest.He seemed relieved at least. That was all that mattered to me. Apart from the butterflies tingling at the pit of my belly, I was fine. It was late now and all I wanted was Lucien's presence with me. To hold me, kiss me, and feel me. I couldn't ever get enough of him. He was my strength and my weakness.A knock broke through my thoughts and I answered.“Come in,” I said, rising to my feet, heart thudding for a reason I didn't know.The door creaked open, and Silas stepped inside. He stood, his eyes somber, rimmed with guilt and sadness. He looked pale. I hadn't forgotten that he had been stabbed, his arm had been bandaged.“Silas, are you okay? You look so pale.” I said, already moving closer to him. “Did you eat at all?”“Irene,” he said, his voice low. “Can I talk to you?I nodded slowly and motione

    Lucien's POV“Take them to the dungeon, make sure their screams don't disturb the peace of the house.” I ordered, my words heavy and final.The guards began to pull Malcolm, Peris, and the Elders forward, their hands were bound and their heads were lowered for the first time in years. The crowd parted for them, watchful. If not for the guards, I'm sure the pack wouldn't hesitate to kill them with their claws.Malcolm was the first to open his mouth. He was never the type to accept defeat when it came.“This is madness, Lucien!” he barked, fighting against the guards as they shoved him forward. “You’re letting emotion cloud your judgment. This is not the way of the council! You can't just discard us like that, this is barbaric!”I stepped forward, my gaze not leaving him. “You taught me the ways of this council. You knew everything, didn't you? But you still failed to live by your teachings. It's over, Malcolm.”His eyes narrowed, but before he could speak again, the eldest member of

    Irene's POVI tried to sleep. The warmth of the blanket should have comforted me, but my instincts prickled beneath my skin. I was too restless. The bond between Lucien and I hummed with something heavy.Then I heard it—his voice, cold and full of command.“BOW DOWN!”“Lucien?” I echoed, and sat up instantly. My breath was caught in my throat. That wasn't a command whispered in private. That was Lucien's Alpha voice; the kind he'd used on Silas the first time we met. He told me to stay inside, but that was the last thing to do. I threw the blankets off and dressed quickly, tugging a robe over my body. I left the room and ran down the hall. I met a few guards posted around.“What's going on?” I asked breathlessly.The guards looked at themselves before one of them answered. “Alpha Lucien is exposing the traitors. The Council of Elders are being arrested.”“What?” I was shocked. Lucien hadn't said anything like that this morning. Why had he asked me not to come out? I didn't wait for

    Lucien's POVThe morning sun barely broke out before I had my bath, got dressed, and crawled back into bed with Irene. She smelt nice after the thorough bath we had during midnight.“I need to meet the council,” I said, tightening the last button of my shirt as Irene stirred beneath the sheets.She opened her eyes slowly, still drowsy from the night we spent locked in each other's arms. “Good morning. What did you say?”I leaned down and kissed her gently, brushing her hair from her face. “You look so beautiful, Irene.”She giggled and kissed me. “That's not what I asked you, Lucien.”“I am meeting the pack council.” I repeated slowly. “This is something I should’ve done a long time ago, it's not too late now, though. But I need you to stay here.”Her brows furrowed, worry creeping into her gaze. “Stay here? Why?”“Because I can't risk you getting hurt again. Not like before.” I kissed her, slower this time, memorising the softness of her lips. “Please, Irene. Trust me, huh?”Her sile

    Lucien's POV“I have stitched up his wound. He would come around in the morning. It's nothing serious.” The healer assured us and I gave him a nod of gratitude.Irene stood still, not wanting to leave the room.“Silas will be fine, Irene. Let's go to our room.” I whispered, pulling her away from the healer's chamber. Silas had passed out because of the blood he lost, but the healer assured us that he would be fine. I had no intention of going to the hospital, I wanted to do this low key and get to the councils when they were totally relaxed. Irene didn't argue with me this time, she just held my hand tight as I led her out. She made sure Silas was settled and he was breathing. “Will he be fine?” She asked silently, her voice warm.I nodded without saying a word. She seemed to trust my silence because she willingly allowed me to lead her down the hallway, past other rooms, until we got to our room. When we reached the bedroom door, I paused, reluctant to go in with her. She might b
