CHAPTER 17

last update Last Updated: 2024-05-15 21:11:46

"Let us go!" Karin whined at the man who had picked her up. He looked quite elderly, even older than Alpha Lucas. He brought her closer to his face and she remained still as he examined her like she was a toy.

Karin was doing her best to hold herself back from shifting. If her mother knew that someone saw her shift, she would get scolded and she really didn't want that to happen.

"They are so little," the man holding her mumbled in fascination. "And cute," he smirked. "Don't you think so Raphael?"

Raphael thought the same. He was holding the boy and staring into his cute little eyes so much. One would think he was being sucked in. Those eyes of his were so big and round, they looked oddly familiar…

"Who are you?"

Karin deepened her frown, "We're not supposed to talk to strangers."

The man half snorted in a laugh while still gazing at her in fascination. She was a smart child, he had to admit. "If I tell you my name, will I still be a stranger?" he watched her ponder on it for a while.

    IRENE'S POVPrevious nightI stared at the text message from Nanny May with a small smile on my lips. It was relieving to hear about them every now and then. The message was short and simple, "The kids are fast asleep. You don't need to worry. Although, Carl keeps asking of you. He's not used to you being away for so long but you don't need to worry. I put him to bed."Oh Carl! I missed him a lot. He was the soft one; always quick to cry whenever I was nowhere in sight. I knew Karin was missing me too, she just had a hard time showing it.I rolled my fingers over the keyboard, biting a corner of my lip. I would give anything to be there with them right now; even if it was just to kiss them goodnight but with the way the things had gotten co complicated, I doubted if I would still be able to make it back home tomorrow."Thank you so much for letting me know. Please continue to take good care of them." I read aloud as I typed my reply.After sending the message, I dropped back on my bed

    KARSON'S POV'What do you mean you lost the kids?' I picked up my jacket and moved around the room to get my watch.'They were right here,' Wayne reported with a panic tone. 'We left them right in the car and we just turned away.''Then they probably snuck out,' I concluded and stared in the mirror, wondering if I dressed too casual for my mission today. It wasn't anything businesslike so there was no need to wear a suit… at least I felt that way.'Raphael and I will go look around for a while. They shouldn't have wandered in. we'll check the surroundings before checking the hotel.''Okay. I'll meet you downstairs after I'm done having breakfast,' I cut off the mindlink and finished dressing up. I headed outside and made it to the elevator and finally the table where it was just me having breakfast.I had purposely delayed for a while as I wanted to be in my own space at the table. Too many Alpha's were present and while no one was going to say it, it was hard having to work with othe

    KARSON'S POV'Tell me where you are, I'll be right there!' Alpha Lucas practically yelled in my head. I told him where to find me and while I waited, I sent another mindlink to my team to carry out the mission in my absence. With all the other teams investigating the rogue attack and the poison, it shouldn't take long before we find answers.I took my time in studying the kids' features and matching them with her. I wondered if it was just a coincidence that they had her eyes but when the girl smiled, I wondered if it was my eyes playing a trick on me or did she have a faint resemblance to Irene?But then again, have I ever seen Irene smile? She always kept such a straight face around me- almost like she didn't want to let herself go or let me know how much she was a mess for me. This was a long time ago. Now I only saw her smile around Alpha Lucas and other Alpha's. As if it was a default setting, she would lose her smile when it got to me.Shit, why did that make me pissed just thin

    Alpha Lucas held their small hands and led them outside. He didn't know what to think seeing Karson act all caring and affectionate with the kids. Did he know they were Irene's kids?No, it didn't seem like he did. If anything, Irene would be particular about not wanting Karson to find out. It was no gainsaying that Karson had his eyes on Irene. The way he stared at her and even fought for her attention, it was starting to annoy Alpha Lucas.He didn't know he was already pissed off until he saw Karson being cute around the kids. Who knew that young and grumpy Alpha had a sweet side to him?Tempted to ask the kids what the conversation was all about, he decided to start with something light, "how did you two get here? You made mummy so worried. Did you come here all by yourselves?""No," Karin replied, shaking her head. "Some men tried to kidnap us but they drove us here saying they'll help us find mummy.""We escaped," Carl chipped in. "I'm so full! That food was delicious.""Haha! I

    KARSON'S POVI could still picture Irene's face on the little ones. They had her eyes and smile. Everything pointed to her as their mother but I still found it hard to believe.I was aware that these days, she-wolves could have pups with anyone, it didn't have to be their mate but what was new to me was that wolfless she-wolves could have kids too.Being wolfless was already useless enough in a werewolf society, everyone was well aware of that. The wolfless wolves were always avoided and stigmatised in the Pack. Irene got lucky when she bagged an Alpha like myself and also because she was taken in by my mother.The kids said they were four years old. Irene disappeared five years ago, it's only logical that if they are her kids then they are mine as well.No, hold on a minute. Let's not get carried away.I folded my arms and clenched my fist. I was nervous all of a sudden, it was an expensive thought that I didn't want to entertain for too long.Why would Irene leave when she knew she

    IRENE'S POV"Oh Goddess!" Nanny May had her hand over her mouth when we stepped into the house. Tears filled her eyes so suddenly as she ran to the kids and hugged them. "I'm so sorry," she apologised over and over again and I could only imagine the scare she went through last night." It's okay, May. They are fine," I assured her but she couldn't stop crying as she touched their faces to make sure they were fine.It took a lot of convincing that no harm came to them before she could finally calm down and take her leave." You see that?" I placed my hands on my waist as I scolded Carl and Karin. "Don't ever repeat what you did ever again. You made a lot of people worry about you."They lowered their heads as if in remorse and I would've believed them if I didn't know the kind of kids I had. Something just told me otherwise.Now that we were within the walls of our place, I sat on the couch and pulled them closer, placing them on my thigh to sit." Carl" I called, feeling nervous to ev

    IRENE"You didn't have to come, Alpha Lucas. I'm fine, I swear," I forced the words out as I tried to keep my eyes open but they only hurt."Yeah, and you're not shivering in bed right now," Alpha Lucas pointed out with narrowed eyes, standing next to my bed where I lay."Ugh, I feel like I'm being scolded."" You are," he clarified. "And you're not leaving that bed until you get enough rest. It's for your own good, Irene. You've been through enough."I still can't believe my body broke down on me in just a few days after returning home. It's not like I've done anything strenuous besides putting up with Karson's seduction and emotional conflict all week."I'll be fine if I can just take a stroll-"" You will do no such thing. The doctor said you need to rest. Now lay in bed while I take care of you and the kids."I'm about to watch the Alpha of Howlers Pack act like a nanny, how can I pass up the opportunity?

    KARSON "Did you check again?" I asked, sounding urgent into the phone as I paced my room, biting my nails."Yes, Alpha. There's little to no information about the twins," the investigator replied with a shaky voice.Something didn't feel right, I could tell in my guts that something was wrong. Could it have been tampered with?"And their mother?"" The children are registered under a nanny called Nanny May.""So they are foster kids? Where do they live? Get me the address!""I-I- Alpha, there's no information on that," he sounded worried, probably too bombarded with the questions to know which one to reply first. "Their identity as well as several others are withheld. The reason is unknown."I knew it, something is really going on and I'm starting to feel like Alpha Lucas has a hand in this. That old man would do anything to safeguard Irene from any possible suitors just to keep him to herself.I've seen the interest in his eyes and how intently he stares at her. But what good will c

    IRENEI opened my eyes to very familiar ceilings and the warm sun on my face. It was a new day and all I could remember from the night before was the fight between Karen and Lucas.Did he get home okay? Wait, I'm supposed to be mad at him for what he did.He disrespected me. He could do it again later in bed but I wasn't going to tell him that until he apologized, of course.The door opened and I turned to it."Good thing you're up," Nanny May walked in and shut the door. My ringtone blasted in the air and I cringed at the annoying sound. It felt like I had been hearing that for a while now."He has been calling non-stop."So it has been ringing for a while now."Who?"She pursed her lips like I even had to ask when I already knew who she referred to. "Alpha Karson."Hearing his name made my heart skip a beat. "Thank you," I accepted the phone and looked around. "Can I please get some water?""Sure," she exited the room and I answered the call towards the end of it. "I just woke up."

    IRENEThe healers returned after a while and this time, I was put in a room and asked to shift. They gave me the privacy of changing out of my clothes since I didn't want to rip them. Once I transformed, shaking out my fur, I sat back on the floor and let them observe, going round my wolf to observe her.Lucas came around us and patted my fur, "I already told May to stay over that you'll be running late. She'll put the kids to bed."I was grateful for Lucas in my life but that still did not give him the right to but into my personal life."Okay, we've got what we needed. You can shift back now."Too late. I couldn’t control it. I suddenly shifted back into my human floor, naked on the floor. They were all too frozen to turn around quickly.Lucas peeled off one of their white coats and hurriedly wrapped it over me, covering me up. They all stepped outside quietly and the nurse returned with my clothes. "I'll be right outside when you're done." he hurried off."The sleeping pills must b

    IRENEThe monitor's beep brought me back to my surroundings as a few healers surrounded the bed with their white coats. Lucas had woken up the pack just trying to get me some help. Speaking of Lucas, he was waiting right outside the door, biting his fingers with his gaze on me.He was tense, I could see that. He must be really affected by my smell to stay that far away. But not once did he take his eyes off me nor the doctors whenever they reached to touch me.He was on alert, just waiting for the slightest sign of my discomfort. He didn’t even trust his own healers."The tranquiliser should begin its work as soon as it gets into your body," a nurse said and asked for my arm. She fixed the needle in and waited, "In three, two… one…" she stepped back, waiting for a reaction.Everyone held their breaths."I feel like a laboratory experiment- wow-" I shivered at the first wave of what felt like a hot splash of water in my skin.Lucas looked alarmed and ready to burst in through the door.

    IRENE"What the fuck, Irene?" Lucas screamed in my face and I snapped out of it. My bum still felt his light tap and for a moment there, it fucked with my head. Why did he have to do that?"You're blushing?" Lucas stared at me in shock. "He disrespected you and you're blushing?"Disrespected? Says who?Goddess! I couldn't stand my own thoughts right now. Was that coming from me or my wolf? "What are you doing here?""What?" his eyes still brimmed in anger and now my question made it even worse. "You're asking me that? This is my pack and I own every inch of it. I told you I was coming over today."When did he… fuck! I wasn't listening."You weren't listening…" he looked hurt for a moment there as he pieced it together. "Irene, I don’t want to believe you were answering my call in the middle of a-""My kids are within earshot so mind what you say," I warned but his nose flared as he exploded."You should've thought about that before letting a fuckboy leave through your fucking window,

    IRENEI opened my eyes to a sore pussy and a warm beating heart under my head. He played with my hair, caressing my face in the process. How long did we do it for? I had no sense of time right now."You're up," he announced before I even moved. "Welcome back-""Don't even!" I rolled my eyes, embarrassed but satisfied… for now."I wondered if I'd have to kiss you awake, sleeping beauty," he teased. "And if my kiss didn’t wake you, my-""Don't even say it, Karson. You've already fucked me like an animal enough for one day."He froze and when he spoke again, his voice was lower with a challenging tone, "You think that's enough for one day?"Oh boy! I really shouldn’t test him. I lifted up while holding the sheets to my chest and I looked around. A part of my brain felt dead-- no, not dead, vacant. Like he fucked us so good that my brain had to take a vacation. I felt lightheaded."It's night!" I almost screamed. "How is it dark outside?" how long did we-- "Goddess!" I covered my face, la

    IRENE"Irene?" Alpha Lucas called. "Are you there?""Y-Yes, I'm here… sorry, I uhm… I'm just in shock," Karson helped me to my feet and pulled me to the arm of the couch. What was he planning on doing?"Please," I whispered but my body betrayed me and he knew. He could smell it. Everything he did turned me on more. I subscribed to his wild and untamed attitude. Whatever he wanted, I knew deep down that I wanted more.But Lucas was on the phone and I didn't want to-- I gasped, my heart racing as I was suddenly bent over the arm of the couch, legs kicked apart to widen my stance and he grabbed my waist from behind."What was that? Are you okay?"Was I okay? I was spread out in my living room about to be fucked like a prisoner. I wasn't okay. I was ecstatic. Which woman would say no to kinky sex and a mind-blowing orgasm?"Yes, uhm… I just called to ask about you. That's all. I'll speak to you later-""Should I come over instead?"His cock nudged in, spreading me in one slow tortuous-- t

    IRENE"No?" Why would he suddenly ask that? "No," I said firmly, this time staring at his doubtful face. "Karson," he straightened up and I lowered my head to my shoulders to smell myself. "Do I smell like that?"His nostrils flared and a flicker of lust passed his eyes. "You don't really want to ask that because you have no idea how badly I'm trying not to jump you.""O-Oh," that oddly made me feel good. "That bad? Sorry I… just don't breathe then."He narrowed his eyes, "It's everywhere from the doorstep. Any unmated male will walk in and think there's a lady in distress.""I don't think I like my lady parts being referred to as a 'lady in distress'" I laughed. "But yeah, I think I see your point."I was oddly horny. Oddly because there wasn't anything stimulating in the air. Now that I thought about it, I've been in this mood since we went on that drive. Did I need a run or something?I quickly connected to my wolf to find out what was going on but the only thing in her mind was he

    IRENEThe kiss was soft, a surrender on my part and a passion on his. His tongue brushed over mine in a smooth dance that made me sigh, satisfied and turned on. I held him close-- closer if I could as his hands roamed everywhere. It wasn't me in the room anymore, I let my feelings take over.Fuck, he felt so good, smelled so good too. In only a few seconds, my core was starting to clench in a warm invitation. Slow down, girl. We just had an orgasm some hours ago, and another wouldn't be so bad my wolf whispered. She was down for anything; kissing, fucking, biting-Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Chill! Chill!As much as I wanted to keep kissing and grinding against his massive erection, that thought was a shocker.I've never wanted to be marked since we got back together. I pulled away, breaking off the kiss even when my whole body was against it.It was fulfilling to stare in his eyes and see them lose focus. That made two of us."Hey," I grinned shyly, blushing like I didn't imagine naughty stuff

    IRENE"What do you want and how'd you even get my number?" She was the last person I ever wanted to speak to and having her voice next to my ears was pricking my skin."No, let's talk about you instead," she snapped. "What do you want?""You called," I reminded her. "Plus, I wouldn't want to talk to you after you kidnapped my kids.""Ha! I was only doing them a favour. I figured they could know the pack they truly came from. How does it feel running away with the Alpha's pups?"My nose flared in anger, "You had no right-- and I'm not about to go back and forth with you. Goodbye--""The pack hates you!"I was going to hang up but now she had my attention. "Yes, after you spread rumours, I'm sure-""Oh please! I just did everyone a favour. I reminded them that a Luna who ran away can never return and play ruler. You were a coward who couldn't handle the pack or her man and so you left. Don't bother coming back-""Do you hear yourself? If you did, you'd know how ridiculous you sound. Thi
