Irene’s POV

I couldn't run or fight, the only thing I could do was lie there and wait for the pain.

This is what I am. This is what I've always been.

No matter how many people I beat, how much I pretend to be strong, this is what happens when…

A foot flew through the air, connecting with Icarus's side with a sickening crack.

He flew backward, smashing into a garbage can with enough force that the impact echoed down the street.

He lay there, gasping and groaning, and for a moment there was ab

    Irene’s POV I couldn't run or fight, the only thing I could do was lie there and wait for the pain.This is what I am. This is what I've always been. No matter how many people I beat, how much I pretend to be strong, this is what happens when…A foot flew through the air, connecting with Icarus's side with a sickening crack.He flew backward, smashing into a garbage can with enough force that the impact echoed down the street. He lay there, gasping and groaning, and for a moment there was absolute silence.Then Lottie stepped over me, her expression cold as ice."You want to try again?" she asked, her voice dangerously quiet.Icarus made the mistake of trying to stand but Lottie kicked him again, this time with a high roundhouse that snapped his head back. Then another and another. She hit him over and over and I could only watch, frozen in awe and partial horror. It was over in less than a minute. Icarus lay unconscious in the garbage, blood dripping from his nose and his entire

    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. Icarus Slater was never an older brother to me. Ironically, when we were little, he was a doting and devoted sibling. But after our parents death, his decline started and I was at the recieving end of it. For years, I condoned his brutal abuse, learning how to heal myself and even when I managed to gather enough to run away, he would always find out. Then he would take the money and beat me to near death. I never expected his greed to win out in the end when he sold me to the palace. LAnd now he was moving towards me. He crossed the street with the uncoordinated gait of someone who had already been drinking, despite it being barely afternoon. When he reached me, he laughed and if was a harsh, grating sound. I recoiled at the yellowed te

    Irene's POVThe rest of the day passed in a blur of classes and assignments. Dance practice was invigorating but something about moving my body to music helped quiet the noise in my head, at least temporarily.I signed up for piano lessons, figuring that learning an instrument would deepen my understanding of music theory.By the time the final bell rang, my feet ached and my mind was exhausted, but my spirits had lifted slightly. I was here and I was doing this. Master Elias's cruelty couldn't take that away from me.I was heading toward the exit when three figures blocked my path.It was the girls I fought. Their faces were still bruised, though not as badly as Lottie had implied. The one with the broken nose walked with her arm in a sling, and her friends flanked her like bodyguards."Omega bitch," the leader hissed, shoving past me hard enough that I stumbled.My shoulder hit the wall, pain shooting through it. But I quickly caught myself, rubbing at the sore spot as they disa

    Irene's POVHe leaned against his desk, looking at me with something close to disdain. "Let's not pretend this is about talent or dedication, Miss Irene. We both know why you're really here."My heart was skipping terribly. "I... I don't understand.""You're the King's breeder." He said it like an insult. "A pretty bauble he's decided to indulge by sending to my Academy.”He pointed an accusing finger in my direction. “You have no real passion for music, no discipline and no understanding of what it takes to truly master this art."The words hit like physical blows. "That's not true. I love music. I've always-""And that fight?" He stepped closer, looming over me. "That display of violence? It confirms everything I suspected about you. You're low-class, untrained and unsuitable for an institution like this."Tears burned behind my eyes, but I refused to let them fall. "Master Elias.”"You're a figurehead," he continued mercilessly. "A charity case the King forced upon us. You'll never

    Irene's POVThe moment I stepped through the Academy's entrance, the whispers started.Eyes hungry for gossip tracked my every movement and I caught fragments of words as I passed."... that's her!""I can't believe she came back ""This is what happens when you give omegas rights.”I kept my head high, refusing to give them the satisfaction of seeing me cower. My bag felt heavier with each step, but I forced myself to walk normally.I was halfway to the music wing when a hand touched my shoulder."Miss Irene?"I turned to find a young woman, she had a pinched look on her face.“Yes?" I cocked my head.She cleared her throat. "Principal Lucas would like to see you in his office. Immediately."My stomach dropped. "Now? But class is about to-""Immediately," she repeated, her tone leaving no room for argument.The walk to Lucas's office felt like a march to execution. Students parted around me, their whispers growing louder. By the time I reached his door, my palms were sweating. I kn

    Irene’s POV His eyes sparkled brightly. "Really? It really works?""As long as you believe it does," I said, tapping his nose gently."Thank you!" He threw his arms around my neck again. "I'll take such good care of it! I'll only write good things, I promise!"I chuckled, hugging him back. "I know you will."A maid appeared at the end of the hallway, calling for him. "Prince Cameron! We're going to be late!""Coming!" He started to run off, then turned back. "Have a good day at school, Irene!"I waved back at him. "You too, Cam!"He disappeared around the corner, and I stood up, still smiling."You're getting too close to him." Lottie said gruffly. I turned to find her watching me with an unreadable expression."He's a child," I said. "A lonely one. What's wrong with being kind to him?"She shook her head like she was already tired of discussing the issue. "The Alpha won't like it.""The Alpha doesn't like most things I do." I adjusted my bag. "That's never stopped me before.""This
