Irene's POV

“You bitch!”

I could almost hear his voice from all those years ago. I could nearly feel the sting of his fist against my face.

My throat clenched and for a second, all I could do was stare at the man who had sold me like livestock.

But after our parents death, his decline started and I was at the recieving end of it.

  • Chosen by the Tyrant Alpha as A Surrogate    Chapter 61

    Irene's POVThe entire day was spent keeping Cam entertained. We played games, watched movies, and ordered different room service snacks. I managed to keep him happy despite my churning stomach and the constant ache in my ribs where Icarus had kicked me.By evening, exhaustion finally claimed him. I watched as his eyes fluttered closed, his breathing evening out as he drifted into sleep.Only then did I allow myself to relax… slightly.I left his room quietly and made my way through the hotel, grateful that I didn't see Icarus anywhere. The relief at his absence was quickly tempered by the knowledge that he was still a threat, one that I had to eliminate quickly. Lottie found me in one of the hotel's common areas, looking refreshed despite her earlier exhaustion."You've been sleeping all day," I pointed out, and she smiled sheepishly."The downside of exhaustion is that once you start resting, you can't stop," she admitted. "You should get some rest too."I smiled sheepishly. "I'm

    Irene's POV"Look at you," Icarus continued, circling me like a predator. "Got your own bodyguard now, going to a fancy school and living in a penthouse hotel.” He chuckled, cursing under his breath as he ran his fingers through his hair. “Must be nice having everything handed to you while I'm out here struggling."My stomach churned. "Are you following me? How did you—"He laughed and the sound was cruel, exactly as I remembered from my nightmares. “What do you think!?” He growled, and then his hand was around my throat.Before I could react, be slammed me against the wall so hard the air exploded from my lungs. My vision swam as his fingers tightened, cutting off my oxygen."Remember your place," he snarled, his face inches from mine. "You're an omega but you've got secrets, don't you? Big secrets that would ruin everything if anyone found out."I couldn't breathe and I clawed at his wrist as black spots bloomed across my vision. “I-Icarus… please.” “Pathetic.” He sneered, releas

    Irene's POVCam's room was a wonderland. He bounced around excitedly, showing me everything.From the view from his window, to the entertainment system, and even the games the hotel staff had set up for him overnight."And look at this!" He dragged me over to the minibar. "They let me have a snack last night. I got chocolate!"I laughed at his enthusiasm. It was good to see him happy and acting like a child instead of a trauma victim.But Lottie and Juliet looked like they had been through a war.Juliet was practically swaying on her feet, her eyes half-closed. “I didn't sleep a single minute," she whined. "Not one. Meanwhile, the maids back at the palace probably got a full eight hours. It's not fair."Lottie jabbed her in the ribs, though she looked equally exhausted. Dark circles shadowed her eyes, and her usual sharp demeanor had dulled."I'll watch him," I offered. "You two should rest.""That's not necessary," Lottie said immediately.But Juliet was already nodding eagerly. "Ye

    Alastair's POVSomething was moving against me.I groaned, still half-asleep, and tried to pull my pillow closer. But it kept shifting, refusing to cooperate with my desire to sleep just a few more minutes.I was irritated so I grabbed it and squeezed harshly. The pillow whimpered and my eyes snapped open.What the hell?I looked down and realized what I was holding wasn't a pillow at all. It was soft and round. My fingers traced downward and encountered what felt unmistakably like… nipples? "Oh gods," I muttered, scrambling away from Irene so quickly that I miscalculated and tumbled off the edge of the bed. I landed hard on the floor with a loud thump, my head banging against the cold tiles of the floor. “Dammit!” I stood up, cursing under my breath, and stared at her. She was lying there looking thoroughly confused. Her hair was mussed and her was face flushed.My eyes raked over the shirt she wore. It was the one I gave her yesterday and it barely covered her thighs.To make

    Irene's POV"Get out!" I said, wrapping my arms around my body. "You can't just walk in… just leave!"But Alastair didn't walk away. Instead, he crossed the bathroom in a few quick strides and scooped me up into his arms before I could protest further."If you didn't know how to operate the shower, you should have called for me," he said, his tone brooking no argument. "And not trying to figure it out on your own."I scowled at him, my entire body flushing with heat. I had never been this humiliated in my entire life. "Put me down!" I demanded, struggling against his grip. "Alastair, I'm serious…"I froze, realizing I had said his name out loud but he didn’t look like he cared. "Stop," he warned as I shook my leg, trying to force him to release me.I glared at him harder. "No! Put me down right now!"He groaned, clearly at the end of his patience. "If that's what you want..."He released me.I screamed as I fell, expecting to crash to the floor but I landed on the soft mattress o

    Irene's POV“Cam is in the pantry. Cam is in the pantry.”The words echoed through my mind on repeat as I navigated through the chaos of the palace. The alarm was still blaring, guards were scrambling in all directions, and somewhere, Cam was tied up and terrified.I was rushing past one of the main corridors when I literally crashed into someone."Oh my… Irene?" Juliet's eyes went wide with shock. "What are you doing out of your room?"I ignored her, sprinting toward the kitchens, then to the pantry. The alarm bells were deafening, but I pushed through the noise.My entire focus was narrowed to one point: finding Cam."Cam!" I yelled, bursting through the pantry door. "Cam, where are you?"There was no answer and my heart seized. What if the assassin had lied? What if…A muffled sound cut through the chaos. I spun toward the back of the pantry, walking down to the shelves and storage containers. There… in the far corner, hidden behind stacks of boxes.I spotted Cam. He was bound h

If anything, his fingers tightened, not enough to truly hurt but enough to make my pulse hammer against his palm."
