Kai: “Do you really believe that things would be easier?” Viktor asked, shaking his head in question. I sighed, and shook my head, knowing that they wouldn't. Mother has made it clear that she wanted nothing to do with Irina at home. “I knew that it was never going to be easy. But I didn’t expect that as a reaction from mom. You know that she isn’t the type to be this resentful, and I know for fact that this was the first time that I’ve seen her in such a state.” I said, and Viktor nodded in understanding. “I have to admit that this was something that neither one of us expected. Luna Katerina was often calm, but you can’t expect her to. She has the right to doubt everyone that breathes around you, and when she knows that she is coming from Cosimo’s side, she is going to be a little more aggressive. It is a mother’s instinct.” Viktor said, and I nodded. “But you can’t stay mad at her for long.” “I’m not,” I said, tapping my desk. It was morning and I was thankful for the fact
Irina: I smiled when I woke up to find myself alone on the bed. I knew that Kai had slept by my side, his side was messy, but it was a little late and the man would have been up by now. I rubbed the sleep from my eyes before getting up, knowing that I was going to need to freshen up for the day. I still had a lot to do, and the number of things that were piling up were countless. And checking my email earlier today didn’t make things any better for me. I walked toward the bathroom and freshened up, taking a shower as I did. The warm water cascaded my body, and I couldn’t help but sigh in contentment as it relaxed my muscles. I walked out of the bathroom toward my side of the closet. The maids had most of my clothes arranged. I still had to fix my personal things. I chose to wear a sundress, it’s been a long time since I wore a dress at home. I was often busy, and I knew that I would need to wear pants, and when we were in the hotel, my clothes were mostly limited. I put my dre
Kai:“Where are you going this early?” Mom asked, shaking her head in question. Irina was in the room, getting ready for the two of us to go out while I beat her on the fact of heading down the stairs, choosing to trust her word.“You didn’t bother coming to breakfast, and now you seem to be ready to go out. And I am guessing, judging by the fact that you worked with Viktor in the office, that you aren’t going to work.” She said, raising an eyebrow at me. I looked my mother in the eye, trying my best to find the right words that would fit what I was supposed to say without hurting her. “I didn’t come to breakfast as it seems to me that my wife wouldn’t be welcomed over. As for where I am going, you never bothered to ask me where I was heading when I went out. Why now?” I asked, keeping my tone calm.“I believe that you know, as well as you know your name, Kai, my reason. Now, where are you going?” She asked, repeating her question.“Out, with my wife. The woman has been in the room
Irina: I paced around the garden, refusing to get inside the car as my blood boiled. The idea of her suggesting that I sign a marriage agreement was one that shocked me. And the fact that I couldn’t respond didn’t make it any better. But I knew the rules well enough to know and understand that I shouldn’t cross my limits with the pack’s Luna. The Alpha’s mother. However, that didn’t mean that I liked her attitude. If anything, it was one that I knew that I would never accept if it was someone else. Kai walked out of the house, and I knew that he was shocked to see me the way that I was. Even I didn't even expect to be walking around the way that I was, as angry as I was, but I was raging. And the worst part was, I didn’t have anywhere to go to if I wanted to. My family didn’t want me around, and I was forced to stand my ground here, in front of this pack’s Luna, knowing that she was going to do her best to taunt me more for the sake of me making a mistake. “Irina…” “I could h
Kai:I stood in front of the arena, watching as my pack members trained after a long day at work or school.It was something that I always saw as important for them, especially since I knew that it would build their strength, and that it would be the reason they stood strong when they knew that there were no elders to support them.Viktor, who was standing in the field, looked at me with a raised eyebrow. The whole pack was surprised to see me without Irina, and I knew the reason. She was the pack’s new ‘bride’ and Luna. For them not to know her and not to see her, they were going to start asking questions. However, I knew that after earlier, it was best not to stop her from going where she wanted to be. At least, until she calmed down. “The men have seen her within her pack grounds. She was speaking to Alpha Sebastian.” Viktor said, as he approached me. I didn’t say a word, instead, I nodded at my pack members, knowing that I was not going to change things. “Let them keep her safe
Irina:Never, not once, in my life did I find myself freezing in my spot the way that I did.The Alpha’s eyes met mine as he said his words, and I had to fight back looking at him as I knew that I wouldn’t be able to meet his gaze.“Is she your mate?” One of the omegas asked. I expected the Alpha to laugh or shake his head in response. However, I was surprised when he ran his finger over my waist, gently massaging it before he nodded.My eyes widened in surprise, and I looked down at my feet, avoiding the eyes of the pack members who gasped. I didn’t even understand his reason, but I hoped that his mother wouldn’t end up causing a problem when she heard of this.“When did you find her, Alpha? We didn’t know…”“I chose to keep it a secret until the two of us were sure about what we wanted,” he said, looking down at me. He kissed my temple, letting his lips linger there for a moment before he pulled away to look at them. “You are all to respect her, and from now, you are to know that wh
Kai: “Do you mind telling me why you believe that they are going to rebel, mother?” I asked, shaking my head at my mother whose eyes darkened. “Let me think, one, you have an omega for a wife, two, you don’t even know her origins, and need I add a number three, the fact that she was sent by the enemy that put you in the mess of getting hurt in the first place.” She said, shaking her head at me. “You two are far too foolish to understand the consequences of your actions and you are ONLY going to put his pack in danger.” “We are more than aware of the situation in hand, mother, but I doubt that me bringing in a wife is going to cause a conflict within the pack. Unless, of course, you want it to be caused. The idea of you believing so only means that you might have heard something.” I said, looking my mother in the eye. Irina didn’t say a word as she kept her eyes on the ground, avoiding my mother’s gaze. “I am curious, where is your family, Irina?” Mom asked, turning her attention
Irina: I sat on the windowsill, keeping my eyes on the sky above, not bothering to even turn when I heard the door open as Kai entered his bedroom. The sill was large enough for me to sit comfortably on, and though ‘unsafe’, I didn’t care. I didn’t want to be inside the house, especially not in the same room with him. “Irina…” “Please don’t talk to me,” I said, stopping the man. He froze, not even approaching me, and I tightened my arms around my knees as I pulled my legs to my chest. The idea of being called a whore was not one that I liked. It pained me to be called so, especially since the woman didn’t even know my story. The way her eyes were focused on me, and the way that she was clearly letting me know that she was despising me was one that I hated. “Irina, I didn’t want things to escalate the way that they did…” “I don’t give a damn,” I said, stopping him. “You dismissed me to the room as if I were some child. You chose to allow her to disrespect me, and I am required t
