Irene had her thoughts with Luna Teresa throughout the drive back home. She felt a dull ache in her chest as she drove farther and farther away from the Pack.She had missed her so much that seeing her again, sprung up all the feelings she thought she could hide and suppress.She kept her eyes on the road, oblivious to the car on her tail.She stepped out of the car as soon as she got home and the door opened as her kids ran into her embrace. She picked them up, holding one on each arm and pressing a kiss to their cheek."Did you two behave well?" They nodded at her question and went about telling her about their day, both rambling at the same time giving her a hard time to make out their words.She walked back into the house, kicking the door shut with her feet. The camera captured the moment from a distance and the man lowered the phone with wrinkled brows.With that banging body and that young face, no one would ever suspect she was a mother or two, he thought to himself, forwardin
Just when Irene thought her time with Alpha's and Karson were over, she found herself driving down to the conference hall again, alone this time.Alpha Lucas and his Beta were too swamped up in their duties and the next person they could rely on was her.Times like this she wondered if she should curse the fact that they were so close but if she wanted to keep earning her stay in the Pack, she must give back to it.Although, Alpha Lucas had never made her feel that way.There were issues with territories this time. Some of the neighbouring packs were looking to expand their territories and since they weren't the only ones interested, they couldn't just lay claim to it.Surely the overbearing Alpha's may find it offensive that Alpha Lucas sent a mere... Wolfless she-wolf on his behalf but they'd just have to make do, after all, he willingly provided the place when they couldn't seem to agree on it.She hurried into the place, it reeked of Alpha pheromones but being having strong Alpha
KARSON'S POVHe was standing too close. The damned Alpha who approached her with his pheromones hanging off him like a jacket, was simply standing too close.It was a good thing she was wolfless. She would've been on her knees from that much pheromone.I could hardly contain the irritation rising inside of me even when her stare and her face said she had things under control, she didn't.It was about to get a whole lot worse. I had to step in. At first, I thought I never wanted her to draw any attention to us knowing each other outside these walls but I found myself breaking my own rules.I was on my feet before I even knew it, moving quickly before his anger flared past what it was.The only thing I could see was his head flying off his neck and hitting the ground if he dared to carry out the thought that crossed his mind.The way his hand stiffen, he was ready to throw it back and smack her across the face for her attitude.If he had dared to touch her, Lucas would have his men clea
IRENE"Miss Irene!"My heart leapt into my mouth at Nanny May's panicked voice and my thoughts flashed to my kids.I was jumping to my feet at once, "What's wrong?""It's the children," she was crying. "Th-They were taken-""Taken? What do you mean ‘taken’?" I didn't let her finish. I couldn't. "Taken where?" She was in tears. "I-I don't know. I tried to stop them but they knocked me out and when I came to, the kids were gone.""No, no, no! What the fuck is this about!" I gripped my hair as I started to rush outside, still frozen from the news.My thoughts were put to a halt and my whole mind and body was thrown into confusion and panic."Who did that? Who? Did you get a glimpse of them? When did this happen?" I trembled as I demanded to know.My kids had been kidnapped. Karin and Carl- oh Goddess! "I'm so sorry, Miss Irene. I should've stopped them. I tried. I didn't see what they looked like-"I hung up, the rest of her words were useless to me as I moved back and forth, confused
IRENEI could barely keep still on the way home. My legs shook and bounced off the car floor as different bad thoughts crossed my mind.I could picture their crying faces and imagine them looking for their mummy. I hoped Karin wasn't talking back and Carl wasn't crying his eyes out.Like every other normal day, I just wanted to go back home to my kids tonight and laugh over this stupid prank but each second felt more real than the last and fresh tears are rolling down my face again."What's going on, Irene? You haven't said a word to me," Karson mentioned again. "Who is missing? Who are we looking for?"I bit my nails as his questions came. I had no desire to say anything, I just didn't want to speak. Would he blame me if he knew? Would he deem me unfit and incompetent to take care of them or call me a bad mother and say it's all my fault?I should've been home earlier. I should've been there to protect my kids when they were taken.They ran away from home the first time, now they we
KARSONIrene was crying again, her shoulders trembling greatly and the sight broke my heart. She was a strong woman and seeing her crumble like this had my feet moving and my arms spreading to embrace her.It warmed my heart that she even let me and she hugged me back-- so tight. I patted her hair as I tried to comfort her, promising her that I'd find those responsible and make them pay for this.I was well aware that I must've been responsible for her crying a lot in the past but henceforth, anyone else who dared to bring tears to this woman's eyes would pay every drop with their own blood. It was only fair that way."Nanny May, where is she-" Alpha' Lucas's voice had us slowly pulling apart and we both turned to the door where he stood, watching us with a shocked look.His eyes then glared at me, a silent warning passing them before they turned soft at Irene. "Irene," he stretched his hand to her, coming closer. "Please don't cry."I was reaching for her hand, wanting to hold her by
KARSONThe look in Alpha Lucas's eyes could send shivers down the spine of an ordinary wolf not to the ones of an Alpha like myself. He was barking off the wrong tree, he just didn't know it yet. For a woman whom I had once wed and whose heart belonged to me, he didn't stand a chance.I had the upper-hand here and was also the most unfortunate. She could rekindle old feelings, that included hate and love.His anger was unnecessary and no matter what he did, he couldn't get rid of me so easily.I saw the moment he accepted defeat. On any other day, he wouldn’t hesitate to banter words with me but I'm glad we both recognize the urgency of the situation and know this wasn't the time for a competition."Okay," he backed down.They both listed a few places and we decided to take half of it, while the other party would cover the rest. A few minutes later I was leading Irene to my car. She practically had no life in her steps. I felt pity for her.We went from one park to the other and with
IRENEMy thoughts went dead and my heart stopped at the news. I tried to make sense of what I was hearing. Did I mishear?"What did you say?" I turned my gaze to Karson who looked very uncomfortable, biting his mouth and gripping the wheels."I said the kids are at… Lexie's."I looked out the window, waiting for the joke to pass over but the silence in the car made the news sink in deeper."Lexie's?" I couldn't help but notice how he said her name like she was a long time friend of ours and was somehow my kids godmother."How the fuck!" I snapped my head at him as I yelled. "You're telling me that my children-""I don't know how-""...re over at your Pack-""Irene, please, try to calm down-""Calm down?" I screamed. "Calm down when she barged into my house and took them-- you have got to be kidding me!" it didn't make any sense the more I thought about it.I could only picture her wicked smile. This wasn't even funny. We've never been close enough for her to pull this kind of a joke.
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
