KARSON"You've been quiet ever since you came back from your little outing."I turned my head to my mother as she invited herself into my living room like she owns the place. She strode in with all that nosey aura oozing from her. I know she has a lot of questions."I didn't know I was being watched," I made to sit up but she put up a hand, telling me to remain in place while she sat on the other couch facing me."Come on, Karson. You're a grown man. Why should I watch you?" She narrowed her eyes. "I heard you stopped by the Mall--""And here we go.""I went shopping when I heard the Alpha stopped by," she shrugged , trying to defend herself but she's going to try a lot harder to get me to believe her."It was so unusual, they were all talking about it," she avoided my gaze as she spoke, an obvious evidence of her lie. "Why did you go shopping for kids? Are we starting another orphanage? You didn't donate-""I wanted to play dress up with myself somewhere," I gave a sarcastic reply wi
IRENE"Karin! No running in the hall. Carl, drop the toys," he wouldn't let go of the new toys all day."No!" He grinned, waiting for me to snatch it with a daring look in his eyes."It's time for bed, you need to sleep." I arranged their pillows as Karin walked into the room in her pyjamas. "Come here, I'll tuck you in."She pretended not to hear me, standing close to the door while Carl climbed into bed with his new toy as if thrusting Karson's presence in my face once more.I still remembered how he kissed my hand tenderly and said his goodbyes. It was a whole different feeling and I was still reeling from it.I've scolded myself when I caught my thoughts straying towards him and I'm sick and tired of it already.I'm not about to get smitten by that man all over again, am I?My shoulders slumped in a sigh as I tucked Carl in and kissed him good night. I looked around for Karin and found her sticking to my leg like glue, reluctant to climb in."You need to sleep now, love."She shoo
IRENE Karson stopped by the next day and the day after that. It's been three days now and he's shown up every day to say hi to the kids and me. Unlike the first time, he stayed a little longer and even one time, he stayed over for lunch.His visits left me paranoid but also nervous... In a good way.I see the way he holds himself back after telling them goodbye, the distance he keeps between us, how his hands try to reach for me but he doesn't give in.I should be glad he's respecting my space now unlike before when he'd have his hands on me before I can even figure out what's going on.He would touch me with a certain aura of possessiveness and obsession like he owns my body and it's his to do as he pleases.Oh goodness! I'm turning myself on again, aren't I?"Will you come over tomorrow?" Carl asked him as he said his goodbyes and Karin was eager to hear his response."Sure, I wouldn't miss a day hanging out with you too. Tell me, is there anything you want? I'll get it on my way h
Lexie had kept her eyes on Alpha Karson these past few days. He left the Pack as soon as he was done with his duties-- sometimes he didn't even finish.He was rushing off like he had something more important to take care of, somewhere more urgent to be than running his own Pack.He was running off to her.Was she pissed? No. What she felt couldn't be undermined by that word, it was belittling. She was bursting with fury and filled with rage to the brim that even one glance at Irene could drive her to an early grave.If only she had minded her own damn business that day and stayed out of the way. If she hadn't taken him to see that witch to confirm who the real baby daddy was to those pups-- maybe... Then maybe he would've backed off.But she just had to thrust solid proof his hands with a go ahead. Was the universe laughing at her stupidity?Lexie didn't know what else to think. That was the most foolish decision she had ever made in her entire life.Lexie hated her. With every cell i
KARSON My daily visits to Irene's house were enough for me. I wasn't going to be greedy and ask for more even though I desperately wanted the kids to call me 'dad' someday and wanted Irene to admit the truth but, I'd settle with this for now.It was peaceful these days and I'd do anything to protect that peace and keep trouble far from us. I figured if I was on my best behaviour, things would just continue to fall into place.Maybe someday we could all live together here in the pack and I'd have my kids running around my study-I was pulled out of my wishful thoughts by a knock on the door, "Come in." it had better not be any more work or complaints, I was already counting the minutes that I had left to call it a day and do my usual rounds to my kids and Irene.Beta Wayne walked in with a straight face and I was half relieved when I didn’t see him holding any documents."Do you need anything?" I asked as I closed and pushed the remaining documents away. I was either going to come bac
KARSONI still couldn't fathom his audacity to threaten me with my kids."See yourself out," I grunted with warning. I was barely holding back from losing my shit and seeing his face wasn't helping.The rage boiling inside of me was almost consuming as I looked him dead in the eye but instead of withdrawing and apologising for his stupidity, Wayne moved in a surprising manner.I double-blinked, startled when his index finger hovered in my face as he pointed to me with a scowl. His attitude was surprising. Never ever have this man disrespected my authority or gone against my wishes but it seemed his daughter was more important than the loyalty he pledged to his Alpha."Don't let your attitude bring suspecting eyes to us, Alpha Karson," he warned. "Do you know what'll happen if the whole pack gets to find out that the Alpha has kids outside the Pack?""It's an abomination and you know it. I'm simply giving you the best advice you can hear anywhere. You either bring the kids in or you lo
IRENEHe didn't need to use his words, I could already tell. That strong look in his eyes, the heavy uncomfortable silence-- I had lived with this man growing up so I knew at first glance that something was wrong.Now whatever it is, I failed to see how I could even be involved but I knew the only thing connecting us right now was his usual visit to Karin and Carl. Something was definitely up and I hated to think it was something concerning my babies."What's wrong?" I finally found my voice after a few minutes of his announcement. I had to gather myself from shaking like a leaf."Karson, what's wrong? What is this about?" Panic seeped into my voice, unable to control my emotions anymore.The way he continued to stare, that pained look on his face, was he here to tell me he had heard someone planning against my kids?I was picturing the worst case scenario here and his silence wasn't helping.I knew I should've stopped him from coming here. A long time ago, I should have put an end to
IRENEI stepped away from Karson, his proposal still hanging in the air as I searched his face. He was serious... Oh Goddess! He was really serious. He wanted me to... No-No, this had to be a dream, a prank even.Karson was asking me out?"I-I-"This was for our kids' protection, I couldn't forget that. He was only doing this for the kids but I was still in shock. It just hit me but surprise, I didn't know what to say.Why was I speechless all of a sudden? I had always said 'no' and tried to push him away whenever he tried to touch me or say things that could possibly mean him wanting me back.Now that he threw the words out there, why wasn't I slamming him hard with a powerful 'no' that could send him flying to his Pack within a few seconds?I should humiliate him and send him out but... My hesitation to do so was more shocking than his proposal.But underneath all that I felt, I knew what my answer was.I still remembered what I went through at his hands in that Pack. I... Remembere
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
