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.
IRENEThey ran into my arms and I hugged them tight, saying a silent prayer to the goddess in thanks. I pulled away, smiling at them and threading my fingers through their hair before I suddenly pulled their ear."How could you be so comfortable in a stranger's house!" I scolded with clenched teeth, careful not to pull too hard.They winced, pretending to cry but their eyes produced no tears. I wasn't going to fall for their scheme so they knew better than to try that with me."Ow, ow, ow," they chanted."Come here, I'll spank your buttocks so hard till you won't be able to sit in front of the TV for weeks! I am very disappointed in you two.""I-IRene," Karson stuttered as he called me. "Be careful. You're hurting them-"I glared at him and he halted in his steps. He had no right to interfere in this, I was scolding my kids and he better stay out of it.Even if they were his kids too, he would just never know it."Goddess! Irene!" Alpha Lucas rushed in, panicked on his face when he sa
KARSONI watched Irene storm out of the house without another word. Alpha Lucas tagged along with the kids clinging to his body like they couldn't get enough of him. The little ones seemed to share an attachment to him.I didn't want her to leave just yet, but after that scary speech to Lexi who hadn't seemed to recover yet, I couldn't suggest her staying the night with her kids.I could offer her a ride at least.I was energised by the idea, feeling as though all hope wasn't lost but Lexie stood in my way, a frown on her face, stopping me and blocking my path."Get out," I commanded harshly, making her shiver and take a step back. I still couldn't get Irene's turmoil out of my head. "You have a lot of explaining to do when I get back, young lady. You're lucky you're not on your way to the dungeon-""Alpha-""Not now, Beta Wayne," I cut him short and he held his tongue. "If it weren't for your long standing history with my father and the respect I have for you, your daughter would hav
KARSONI stared at the pot with a heavy thudding heart as my thoughts were swirling with a lot of-"You doubt my method, Alpha?" the witch asked, looking at me and I held her gaze. "You've grown so much, young Alpha. I've managed to keep an eye on you all these years-""You can be punished for that," I'm doing my best to keep calm. A little conversation was distracting at least."No one would know," she laughs heartily. "Are you having doubts? What's on your mind?""That we shouldn’t be doing this to an unsuspecting mother," I narrowed my eyes at Lexie who met my stare head on with a flash of guilt in her eyes. Why was she even interested? I mean I could understand my obsession to know but Lexie? She had no business with Irene."She wouldn’t tell you if you asked nicely," she said in her defence."Why would she?" Joan scoffs, "It's none of your business and she's long been away from all of you. She owes you nothing."The truth of her words pierced my chest and I took a hard gulp."Unl
KARSON"That's impossible," Lexie trembled beside me. "No! That's not possible! Do it again!"I don't even know what to make of it. I'm still gathering my thoughts while she's screaming at Joan to 'fix' it. How does one fix the truth?How does one... Ohmygoodness! I am the idiot who was away from the mother of his kids and his kids too.How? How did this even...? This doesn't make any sense.Their image in my head is starting to take a resemblance to my younger self. I don't know if it's just my mind messing with me or if my eyes were finally opening to see the bigger picture.My vision blurred as I suddenly felt dizzy, staggering for a moment.Lexie latched onto my arm. At first, I thought she was trying to keep me steady but when I looked at her face, the tears in her eyes, I didn't expect her next words to be a plea."Please don't tell me you believe this nonsense," she begged, desperately trying to manipulate me into her delusion."Sh-She's lying! I know for a fact that you cannot
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
