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
Kai: To say that I was angry was an understatement. And though I understood where Irina was coming from, I was annoyed with the fact that SHE didn’t bother trying to understand what I wanted to tell her. Hell, it was like she felt as if I was against her, and though it wasn’t the case, I knew that it was how she saw it at that point. I let the water cascade my body, relaxing my muscles, and I took a deep breath, allowing myself to try and think straight. The two of us were starting in a rough way, and I knew that I couldn’t blame her. I walked out of the bathroom, getting dressed. I saw Irina still sitting on the bed, looking at her phone. I knew that things wouldn’t be solved if the two of us didn’t talk. And I knew that I wasn’t going to blame her for being upset with what mom did, she had crossed a line that she wasn’t supposed to. I sat on the edge of the bed beside Irina, and though she didn’t look up at me, she put her phone down, letting me know that she understood th
Irina: I was quiet as I sat in front of the mirror, getting ready for the day after taking a shower. Kai left the room earlier, giving me the chance to get my privacy as I got ready, and I couldn’t help but let out a sigh as I took sight of the ring which was now wrapped around my finger. The fact that he had given it to me, the fact that we were now wearing rings only made this a lot harder for me. It made it mean that we were real, that we were man and wife, and at this point, I didn’t know what to do. My wolf, who has been on edge since I slept last night, seemed to be at peace, and that was something that I didn’t understand. The effect that he was having on me was one that I didn’t understand. The door was knocked, and I didn’t need to look to know that it was Kai. His scent filled my nostrils long before he even touched the door. “Come in,” I called. He opened the door, and I smiled when he walked inside. His eyes met mine through the mirror and I watched as he slowly appr
Kai:It’s been a week since Irina and I were home, and I knew that today was going to be her first day back at work.I looked at her and I couldn’t help but smile when I saw her looking at me through the mirror as she put her wedding ring on.“You are going to wear it to work?” I asked, walking toward her. She looked at me over her shoulder when she saw me towering over her body, and I smirked when she hummed in response.“I doubt that those who are married would take their rings off.” She said, looking down at it. “Plus, it is far too beautiful to take off at this point.”“I’m glad that you like it.” I said, and she looked down at it, extending her hand. “’Like’ is too small of a word. You can replace it with the word love, though. It would describe just how I feel about it.” She said, making me smile. “Where are you going today?”“I have a few things to work on in the office. It’s been a while since I’ve been there, and I think that it is about time that they saw me around them in
Irina:I walked down the stairs and smiled when I saw the quietness of the house.The pack members were all tending to their needs before heading off to work or school, and considering the fact that breakfast was over, the maids were cleaning the dishes. “Where do you think you’re going?” The highlight of my day, note the sarcasm, Luna Katerina asked, stopping me.“Kai is dropping me off at work. I believe that he went down before me and he’s waiting for me in the car.” I said, turning to face the woman with a smile on my face. “Lunas aren’t supposed to work outside their packs. But then again, I doubt that you're kind,” she looked me up and down, clearly disgusted. “Would know about our traditions and rules.”“Where I come from, Lunas do work. Each one of them has her own thing to do. It might be different here, I may be wrong, but Alpha Kai doesn’t seem to have a problem with it. You know, considering the fact that he is the one dropping me off to work in the first place.” I said,
Kai:It took a lot in me not to wrap my arms around her and kiss her here and now.My heart raced against my chest, and I was forced to remind myself of the slap that she gave me when I did, and I knew to make my choice wisely. The woman wasn’t going to want me to touch her when she wasn’t ready for it, and I didn’t want to force her into something that I knew she didn’t want.I took her hand in mine and ran my finger over it before pulling it to my lips, gently kissing her knuckle as I did. Irina’s eyes were fixed on mine as I did, and it wasn’t until the car behind us chose to remind us that the traffic light was green that the two of us snapped out of our daze.She blushed, and I smiled at her reaction loving the small effect that I was having on her.I turned to the road and raised my hand, apologizing to the man who was waiting for me. The man didn’t even press on me to do so, he was just waiting as he watched the two of us. Irina’s eyes were fixed on the rear mirror for a moment
