Irina’s POV
It was Shaun lifting me from the ground. He doesn’t look at me and instead looks around.
I try to thank him, but I think my jaw is broken as it hurts to try and speak.
He carries me to the hospital and the doctor groans when he sees me. Surely I wasn’t that bad.
I hear Shaun introduce himself and tell the doctor that he was pretty sure I wasn’t old enough to have a wolf yet.
Raine! She had gone quiet, if she was there at all. I must have imagined her in all the commotion. I wasn’t eighteen yet!
The doctor carefully checks me out and gets some x-rays. He tells Shaun not only is my jaw broken but my eye socket is fractured too
Damien’s POVIrina may not see it now, but it was the right thing to do. Keeping Kelly on life support was not going to bring her back. The doctor told me there was no activity in her brain which meant she had already passed.I try to hug her, but she pushes me away and runs from the hospital. The doctor calls after her and when Irina does not stop, he tells me that he needs to reset her jaw, but I remember her telling me that she had fixed her own broken jaw before.It was turning out to be a brilliant first day as Alpha!I mind link my father, explaining what has happened to Kelly. He tells me he is on his way but he sounded off, almost like he was in denial. He and Kelly had obviously loved each other and not only had he lost his first mate, but he had also lost
Irina’s POV “Are you sure I can come to your pack?” I was still trying to decide if it was the right thing to do and whether or not I could trust Shaun?! Shaun nods his head at me. “My Alpha has agreed, if you would like to speak to him I can go get him” “No need, I am right here” The tall man made me jump, he was a little scary looking with the big scar over his face and the strange pointy ears that I had never seen on a wolf before. He smiles at me, even his teeth were pointy. “I apologise if I appear a monster” “Uh…n…no” I stutter trying to get my words out, but he really was quite frightful looking. “Shaun has informed me th
Damien’s POV “Why father, why is it so urgent I go and get her? Irina wanted to leave” I was planning on going after her anyway but it was annoying me that I still didn’t know the full picture. My father rakes his hand through his thinning hair, he was beginning to look old! “You don’t understand Damien. You have to bring Irina home!” His eyes are wide as he starts pacing and shaking his head “Irina had been planning to leave for a long time father. It’s not something she has just thought about. She has been planning it for years!” It was obvious by the amount of money she had stashed away, she had been planning on leaving for a long time, maybe even years.
Irina’s POV“I’m not mated yet”. It was hard to speak, my whole body was trembling, it even felt like my eyes were shaking.“You’re not marked?” Shaun’s eyes were wide“No”“Do you know who your mate is? Have you met him?”I shake my head; I couldn’t tell him. What if they took me back, what if they won’t let me join their pack??“What’s happening to me Shaun?”He was holding my hands, trying to stop me from scratching myself, but I wanted to do more than scratch myself, it was like I wanted to punish myself for feeling this way.
Irina’s POVShaun carries me into another room at the opposite end of the building. It had recently been decorated in a pale blue colour, basic items such as a bed and a wardrobe were placed around the room and yet I didn’t take any notice of the woman until she introduced herself.Her hair was short, fiery red and a chaotic mess like it had never been brushed. Multiple necklaces hung around her neck with some beautiful blue gems that matched her eyes. She was probably around the same age as me and she had the biggest smile plastered on her face.“I’m Rosy, you must be Irina”She offers her hand out for me to shake as Shaun lowers me and ducks his head out of my bound wrists.Rosy giggles and tak
Damien’s POV“I won’t ask you again Ivan. Where is Irina?”He raises an eyebrow at me “Careful now Damien. I could end the treaty right now”His dark eyes focus on me and they looked like they had turned a shade darker as he spoke. Ivan's appearance was more menacing than normal. He fiddles with the large skull ring on his finger as he smiles.“Irina chose to come here” he glances back up at me as he folds his arms “Like I said at your so called Alpha party, no one forced her”I try to keep myself in check, but Aiden was telling me to challenge Ivan. The problem was Ivan would end the treaty which would put our packs at war again and I couldn’t do that to my pa
Irina’s POVI thought it was Damien coming for me, I had scented him. Yet as the soft knock became more urgent, Damien’s scent was fading, and I climb out of bed confused.“It’s not Damien” Raine whispers to me and she seemed nervous.The knock comes again and this time they try turning the handle. I was so grateful I had locked the door.There is a pause and the handle is turned again and I hear the click of the lock. Whoever it was, they had unlocked my door from the other side.I was frozen to the spot, a mix of fear and confusion as the door opens slightly and Alpha Ivan steps in closing the door behind him and turning the lock“Are you okay
Damien’s POVAiden charges us up the stairs, following Irina’s cries. Whatever was happening, she didn’t want it!We push against the door but there is no movement and I realise it was locked, without waiting we take a run up to it and barrel through the door.Irina was naked, her skin flushed as she sobbed. Her eyes met mine and her mouth barely moves but I could see just how much fear was in her eyes.Alpha Ivan was too busy trying to rape my mate that he didn’t even notice that I was there.Jumping up, I wrap my teeth around his leg. A howl erupts from him and he lets go of Irina, a second was all she needed as Ivan tries to take a swing at me. Irina grabs a dagger from under her pillow and strikes
