Kai:

I frowned at the sight of Irina looking as if she was in pain.

She was clearly trying to hide it, but I wasn’t blind nor was I dumb. I could tell that she was in pain. And the pain was in her right hand or arm.

She has been showering for a while now, and though she didn’t say a word, I saw how she struggled to take her clothes to the bathroom with her. And being right handed, I could tell that she was holding them with her left as well as trying to open the door with the same left hand, avoiding using her right one.

“I needed that shower.” She said, walking out with a towel in her left hand as she dried her hair. She slowly folded it and looked at me.

“Ready for dinner?” She asked, noticing that I was standing, mostly ready to leave the room to the dining room.

“Long sleeves when we have the heaters on?” I asked, and she froze. The woman ONLY wore a long sleeve in the room or when we were going out, and it was mostly a jacket. I noticed she preferred short sleeved shirts o

    Irina: I had to avoid the Alpha’s eyes as the two of us voiced the word ‘Alpha’. He took a step back and I watched as he walked out of the room, leaving me alone, and I sat on the floor as my heart raced against my chest. Tears fell from my eyes and I ran my fingers through my hair as I tried to stop myself from crying. The fear and pain that I felt was one that I was frightened of. It was one that I didn’t expect to feel, and the fear wasn’t one that I expected to go through. My phone rang, snapping me out of my thoughts, and I frowned when I saw that it was my father. He wouldn’t be calling me so soon, not when he was supposedly angry with me. “Papa?” I said, answering the phone, fearing what was to come. “You are failing,” Alpha Cosimo’s voice came from the other end. My eyes widened in surprise, and if I was crying, I now stopped completely. “What?” I asked, trying to allow myself to think straight after what I just went through. The idea of me being Kai’s mate was not

    Kai:Irina’s eyes met mine for a moment, but all I saw in them was pain.It was as if she didn’t see me at all, and I understood why, the sight of her father was what was in her mind.She went to run toward his body, but I tightened my grip around her waist, stopping her. Now was not the time for her to be heading toward him, not when I knew that she could still be in danger.“Let me go, Kai. LET ME FUCKING GO!” She yelled at the top of her lungs. Her legs gave out on her as she sobbed, and I held her to my chest as I got on my knees as she cried, holding onto my arms as if they were the reminder of this being real.I kissed the crown of her head, letting my lips linger there for a moment. And though I heard what Cosimo told her, whatever deal they had, I knew that it was beyond just marrying me, now wasn’t the time to talk about it. No one deserved to undergo such pain.“We are going to need to get her out of here, Alpha.” Viktor said, and she shook her head.“No, not without him. I

    Irina: I woke up to find myself laying on top of Kai’s bed. I frowned as I pinched the bridge of my nose, trying to ease the headache that I was dealing with despite my sleep. “Good morning,” Kai said, his voice coming out as too loud for my liking. I frowned as I sat up before shaking my head in question, trying to process what I was going through before flashes of what happened started playing in my head. My eyes widened in surprise, and I shook my head. No, he wasn’t dead. The Alpha didn’t… “Dad?” I asked, getting up from bed in a rush. My knees weakened, and I found myself stumbling, nearly falling before Kai’s arms wrapped around my waist, holding me upright. I shook my head, he wasn’t dead, he couldn’t be dead. Cosimo did not kill him, he couldn’t have. “I’m so sorry, Irina.” He said, and I shook my head as I pushed him away. His eyes widened in surprise, and I let out a low growl. “You refused to allow me to save him! I could have helped him,” I said, and Kai’s eyes soft

    Kai: I walked down the stairs toward the living room to find mom standing, waiting for me. “How is she?” Mom asked, and I shook my head. She wasn’t okay, and I knew that she wasn’t going to be okay anytime soon. She was in pain, and this wasn’t going to be something that she would heal from easily. “She is asleep. I barely managed to calm her down eventually, but she slept out of exhaustion.” I said, and mom nodded. “I know about the argument that the two of you had, and I know about her arm.” “I had no intentions in hurting her.” She said, and I nodded. “I am aware, but despite that, I am going to have to ask you to please stay away from her. She is going to need to rest and regain her own strength. I don’t want her to be put under pressure, not from you and not from anyone who is around the house.” I said, and she nodded. “She is mourning, and it is understandable.” Mom said, and I nodded. “Did she tell you why he killed her father?” “She said that he put her in a tough spot.

    Irina:I woke up to a hand running over my arm, gently massaging it.It was Kai. I knew that he would be the only one who would enter his room to begin with. He gently wrapped a wrapper around my injured arm, catching me off guard, and I shook my head in question as I opened my eyes to see what he was doing. “You need to wrap it for it to heal.” He said, and I closed my eyes again, not wanting to look at him being as gentle and as genuine as he was being with me.I was tired and I was broken, and the idea of him being kind to me only made matters worse for me, especially since he knew that I betrayed him.“It would heal on its own,” I said, and he nodded.“But this would make it a lot less painful.” He said, and I squeezed my eyes shut. “Do you want to eat something? You’ve been on this bed throughout the whole day. I can assume that you would be hungry.”“I’m not.” I said, and he sighed. “Irina…”“Please, Kai.” I said, stopping him. “I really don’t want to eat anything. I just nee

    Kai:My lips brushed over Irina’s before a cry of fear came from downstairs, clearly coming from one of the pack members, forcing the two of us apart as the two of us processed the sound.I frowned in confusion, and despite her fatigue, even Irina got up from bed, now ready to fight. Her eyes were a dark shade of golden as her wolf made herself known, and though I went to shake my head at her, wanting to stop her, I knew not to. At this point, she was going to need to get her anger out in her own way. And staying in the room all day was not going to do her any good eventually.The two of us ran out of the room, and I frowned when I saw Annetta’s body thrown in front of the house door. “Be thankful for the fact that I chose ONE over the three omegas that you had killed.” Viktor said, reading a paper. Irina’s heart raced, and she shook her head, not wanting to believe that this was happening. Diego, who walked out to take sight of the scene, froze as he took sight of Irina standing b

    Irina:I sat on the windowsill, getting lost in my thoughts as I knew that I was going to have a lot to deal with tonight.The idea of knowing that my mother could either be in danger or completely against me right now played in my head. But I knew that I had nothing to do right now. Cosimo has stripped me off my own humanity, something that I never allowed myself to lose before.“You need to eat, Irina. You are tired and you are going to need to regain your strength.” Kai said from behind me. I looked at the man over my shoulder, and though I didn’t understand him or his motives right now, I nodded as I turned to enter the room. He wrapped his hand around my waist, holding me to him. My wolf gave into his touch, the one sense of humanity that I had.I sat on the couch that Kai had in his room and took a bite out of an apple slice before getting up from the couch. I wanted to go back to sleep, and Kai sighed.“Irina, this is not you eating…”“I am tired,” I said, and he sat beside me.

    Kai:“What are you doing?” Irina asked, smiling at me. It’s been a week since her father died, and though I knew that she was still in pain, she was losing a lot of weight and she wasn’t eating as much as I wanted her to; she was at least willing to talk more often.“I am heading to work. But you are going to stay in the pack today. You have to rest for a while longer and I don’t want you pressing on yourself while dealing with your boss…”“You know that I am not going to keep hiding at home from the man. I am going to have to go to work eventually, whether or not I am done with mourning, he would not be caring, Kai.” She said, and I nodded. “I know, but I don’t want you to feel like you HAVE to go. It is a choice that you have and no one is going to force you to do something that you might not be ready for.” I said, and she smiled. I watched as she stood on her toes before kissing my cheek, making me smile. It was small gestures like this one that told me that I was doing the right

    Kai: I had my arms wrapped around my mate, pulling her closer to me as I felt her tighten around me. I swelled inside her, throbbing with each thrust, knowing that I was nearing my edge. Her canines and mine were already bared, and our wolves were more than willing to mark one another. The café was empty, and the rooms that we had there were going to need us to both rearrange and fix them later. But then again, I figured that what better way to mark our new spot than with a marking for our love. It was something that even Irina understood. Something that the two of us loved. “Fuck…” Irina said, crying out when she felt me hitting her G-spot. Her eyes rolled to the back of her head, and I knew that if I didn’t mark her now, both of us were going to end up out of energy. But then again, I doubted that she would mind. It wasn’t until she woke up to find out that she was with a limp that we would be making the smaller difference. “You are so fucking tight.” I said, shuddering over her

    Irina:“What do you want to do today?” Kai asked, breaking my train of thoughts.I looked at him and smiled, shaking my head in question. It has been two months since my mother left the pack, the woman that I called mother, that is. I didn’t know what I should address her as anymore. But I knew one thing, I was thankful that she went without more trouble. She has caused enough as it was anyway.“I have nothing in mind, but I can assume, since you asked, that you might have something that you want us to do?” I asked, and he smiled. He walked toward the edge of the bed where I was sitting, reading through a few emails.“What are you doing?” He asked, and I shrugged.“You have work that you assigned me to do, remember, boss?” I teased, and he smirked.“Well, having you as my assistant ended when we were in the office, that is, of course, if you don’t want me to take you here and now, on the desk.” He teased, biting my bottom lip as he leaned in to kiss me. I laughed and wrapped my arms a

    Kai:I watched as Irina walked out of her mother’s infirmary room, looking as if she had seen a ghost. And though I heard everything that went on inside, I knew better than to walk in. I knew to leave her to deal with things with the woman by herself. Had I interfered, she wouldn’t have been able to see her true face. A face that I saw long before she had seen it.Flashback:“She is not going to understand anything from her, Kai.” Mario said, looking at me. “While I know that you want her to try and listen, she is going to be more hurt than she has been. You are going to need to be there for her, and if they do talk, you are not going to interfere. If the answers that she gets do not satisfy her, I am going to speak to her.”“A little too late for that, Mario. The woman doesn’t even know you as her uncle. I doubt that she is going to accept a word from you…”“I am going to try to speak to her. If she is willing to listen, then I am more than open to telling her what happened. If not,

    Irina:I walked inside my mother’s room, daring to face her after everything that happened.I had to admit, I was just as scared as Kai was, if not more frightened and worried. But I didn’t want him to see that. I didn’t want him to see me weak and I didn’t want him to think that I wasn’t going to be willing to do this. For him, for us, and for myself.I knew that this was something that I was going to have to do. Otherwise, I wasn’t going to be able to cope. I knew that about myself, and I knew that he saw it in my eyes.“You came.” Mom said, taking me off guard. The fact that she was speaking to me was something that I didn’t expect, but I knew not to expect any less. She has hurt me enough to be ignored. And I knew that many would have done so.“You still raised me as a daughter. One that you both abused, I understand that much, but I was still growing under your roof for a very long time. I might as well value that, right?”“Irina…”“I am not going to be long, but there are a few

    Kai:“Are you sure that you are going to want to do this, Irina?” I asked, looking at my mate, remembering the pain that I saw in her eyes the other day.The fact that I knew that she wanted to speak to her mother wasn’t one that I was going to deny. But I was worried that IF she did, that she would be falling back into the cocoon that I barely managed to get her out of.“I know that you are worried, Kai. But I have no other choice right now. I am not going to run away from the woman. She still is the person who raised me, and considering the fact that I can’t get answers elsewhere, this is the one place that I have. Plus, it is not like I am a child.” She said, and I shook my head at her. I wrapped my arm around her shoulder, turning her to face me.“Irina, I don’t want you hurting. And you know that IF you try hiding it, I am going to feel your pain. This is going to make it a lot worse, because this time, I am going to have to look at the woman without breaking her face for breakin

    Irina:“I want to be left alone, Kai.” I said, knowing that Kai was going to try and comfort me. While I was thankful for his attempt, it wasn’t what I needed right now.“I know, but I am not going to leave you to deal with your pain alone. Plus, it is not like you don’t know me as a husband to think that I would be willing…”“Me knowing you is not going to change the reality of me wanting to stay alone. I really need to be alone to allow myself to process what happened, and though it might not matter to you…”“Do you really believe that it doesn’t matter to me, Irina?” He asked, and I took a deep breath. I knew that it did, but right now, I also knew that I was bursting out over so many things. He wasn’t the one that I was angry with, and he knew that. But the idea of him not willing to leave me alone was one that I didn’t like. I didn’t want to be beside anyone. I just wanted to vent, but I wanted to do it by myself.“I don’t want you to see me in my worst state, Kai.” I said, and h

    Irina:“Hey,” Anastasia said, putting a drink on the table in front of me.I looked at it for a moment then at her, and she smiled. “It is not poisoned, I promise.”“The fact that you would think that I would be concerned about it being poisoned amazes me. But then again, you lived your life dealing with Cosimo. I doubt that you would be living in any less worry or concern.” I said, and she smiled. I took a sip of the drink, wincing when I felt it burn my throat. It was vodka.“Are you okay?”“Would a person in my shoes be okay?” I asked, and she sighed. “I need to think straight, and no matter how much I want to, I really can’t find myself doing so. And to make matters worse, I know that nothing that they are going to tell me is going to make this any better. I am going to need to try and understand things my way, and it is going to be a lot harder as time goes.”“Well, if it makes you feel any better, I am exiled from both my brother and mother. Neither one of them is going to want

    Kai:“Irina…?” I frowned, seeing that she wasn’t by my side.I got up from bed, and walked out of the room, frowning when I heard the fuss that was going on. The idea of her not being here was something that I didn’t like. I didn’t want her to be alone, especially when I knew that she was holding a lot more than she was supposed to inside her.“What is going on?” I frowned, seeing that mom was walking with her robe. She was wearing a white one, and the idea of seeing her awake at this time was one that I wasn’t used to.“Irina’s mom woke up.” Mom said, making my eyes widen in surprise. “Rustem saw her first, and Irina is there now.”Anastasia, who was here, looked at me. Her eyes met mine and I nodded at her, but the woman looked down at her feet. I knew that she was thrown in tough situation, but I wasn’t going to leave her alone. Not after everything that she went through.I put my hand on mom’s shoulder, gently squeezing it, before turning to the infirmary.I looked at Irina who wa

    Irina:I woke up, careful not to wake Kai up, as I got out of the bed.The man had barely slept, and the last thing that I needed or wanted for him was to end up exhausting himself more than necessary. He needed the break, and I wasn’t going to deprive him from it.I walked out of the room, knowing that I wouldn’t be able to go back to sleep anytime soon, and to the dressing room to freshen up. Washing my face in the suite’s bathroom could end up waking him, and I wasn’t going to take that risk.My heart ached with each step that I took, and it wasn’t long before I found myself in the garden, walking around, knowing that I would be finding most of the pack members asleep. Some were walking around, others patrolling, but it was almost empty.We have been here a week, and I still couldn’t find myself accepting what happened. And with my mother still being asleep, I knew that I couldn’t help but find myself falling deeper into the cocoon that I was in. Kai was the one reason that I was a
