The Alpha and the traitor's daughter ย ย ย Chapter 14
LucianI had been getting too soft-hearted. Or was it only because of her?I could not tell. I had been dealing with a lot and over thinking things were not helping. Leaning against the cold stonewall of the hallway, Ireneโs words kept ringing in my head. What had she done to me that nowadays, whatever she said keeps creeping inside my memory. That girl had a way of speaking that crawled under my skin. Her words kept twisting itself into my thoughts and refusing to leave no matter how hard I tried. That was not all. She accused me of being a bully, of taking pleasure in her suffering and the worst part? She was not entirely wrong.Somehow, I was beginning to think that I was a terrible person. I was making her suffer and now she thinks I derive pleasure in seeing her beg for freedom. I exhaled sharply, punching the wall with my fist before heading back to the room. I muttered some curse words to myself as if it would make me feel better. But, sadly it didn't. As I opened the do

IreneI knew that I should have regretted talking to Lucian that way. No matter how I tried to twist things, I was giving him reasons to hate me even more. One thing I hated was that none of my plans were working on him. He didn't seem to care much about the cold shoulder I gave him. That was a bad sign. A very bad sign and I was fed up already. I leaned against the cold wall of his room and the silence stretched endlessly around me. This place was so suffocating that I could hardly breathe, yet I refused to let it crush me. It was better than having to face Lucian by any time of the day. I wanted freedom but if Lucian wanted to keep me locked up here like a caged animal, fine. I would make sure he grew tired of seeing my face every day. This doesn't seem like it was going to work anytime soon but, I will keep time. But deep down, I knew I was playing a dangerous game.My defiant attitude was causing a lot of problems for the both of us. It could only push him so far before he

IreneโBe a dutiful wife?!โ It was such an audacious order to hear from Lucian but I had already accepted to be that for him. What was I even thinking? I held my head tight with my two hands as I began to think about the consequences of my actions. Of course, I didn't want to see my brother get maltreated or even killed by Lucian because Lucian meant every single word that he said. I let out a loud sigh and fell on the bed in frustration. ***It was still funny to me. When Lucian laid down his order, every part of me resisted. Be his dutiful wife? Attend to pack matters? Smile and play pretend for visiting alphas?The very idea made my stomach intestines twist. But the image of my brother bruised and battered forced me to nod in agreement. I would do anything to keep my brother alive at this point. To survive one must learn to make the sacrifices that survival demanded. It was already evening and I made my way to the dining hall . If I knew that my patience was about to get

LucianThere was something about her that bothered me. This was not the Irene I knew. She was acting so strange, and it made me so unsettled. Why is it that all of a sudden, she was beginning to respect me? Why was she being submissive all of a sudden?Did something enter her?While I was still standing there, gritting my teeth and clouding my mind with thoughts about her. Irene came in looking all radiant and beautiful. โGood day,โ she said, greeting all the pack members she set her eyes on with a polite smile on her face. She nodded when appropriate and minded how she talked to them. Her sudden change and action took me aback, and I could have sworn that this might have been a different person if she hadn't had the same face.It was as though she had become the perfect Luna overnight. My wolf became alert because we knew Irene wouldn't act this way if she didn't want something. She was up to something, and I could feel it in my bones. But what?I could not bring myself to answ

IreneIt was dead at night, and all that could be heard was the sounds of cricket. I woke up when the clock hit 12. I had longed to sleep, but I could not. What I wanted sounded easy, but it wasn't easy to get.Ever wonder what would happen if we both stopped pretending? The question slipped from my lips before I could stop myself.We both didn't like ourselves, and it was clear that we were not meant to be together. Why couldn't he allow me to go my separate way?I was unsure if I was talking to myself as the heavy silence in the room made things worse. The wind that blew into the room was quite cold as the midnight stretched on. I held my breath still as my eyes rested on the forbidden book. The book that contains the Pack Secrets lay in front of me. This was the right time to read this book since Lucian was not in any way around me. My pulse increased, as well as my heartbeat. I felt haunting eyes surrounding me, and I held my breath for a long time. I had just one thing to

LucianโIโm not in the mood for games. What do you need me for?โ I growled, pinching the bridge of my nose. โI'm sorry for disturbing you, Lucian. But it's something urgent,โ My beta answered and I sighed, moving out of the room to meet him in the office. The tension I was feeling now had little to do with the Beta standing before me and everything to do with the woman I had left in my chambers.โFuck it! Fuck everything,โ I cursed under my breath. โYou should know that whenever I go into my room, I become very busy and I need no disturbance,โ I said to him over the call, and the memory of her lying on the bed close to me made my skin warm. โI'm sorry, Lucian. I will take note of that next time,โ he answered. If he had not called me away, I might have done something stupid, like kissing her just to silence that sharp tongue of hers.My body was beginning to betray me. Why would I be thinking about having my lips on her soft lips? Wasn't it crazy? Heat stirred low in my loins and

IreneThe last person I expected behind me was Lucian. When his hand rested on my shoulder, I froze and my body became stiff. Luckily for me, I was able to drag him out before the other Alpha saw him. Knowing Lucian well, he was going to burn down the place if he had the chance to. โYou enjoy the attention far too much. I can see. You love it when these men cluster all over you and tell you sweet names. You allow it to get into your head,โ Lucian said to me and I was getting pissed already. โI do not have control over the situation that you are talking about. I am simply doing my best,โ I countered, almost dismissing him but I knew the consequences of my actions if I tried that. Alpha Lucian stared at me straight in the eyes and he chuckled lightly. โI don't think I want to hear anything concerning this, Irene. You know what you did was wrong. If I were you, I would apologize.โโApologize? For what?โ I asked, widening my eyes in fear. โYou will know soon,โ he answered and his vo

IreneโAlpha Radcliffe was going to help me escape?โMy eyebrows shot up when I jammed the door forcefully after he left. He sounded so serious about what he was offering as he talked to me.I needed this badly and he could tell. After thinking about it for some time, I discovered that there was no way he could tell Lucian about this. I decided to take the risk. After all, I have been taking risks since I stepped my feet into this place and I wasn't dead yet. First, I had to find Alpha Radcliffe.***"You should have stayed in bed, Irene,โ I said to myself when I found myself in the venue where he told us to meet. The only thing surrounding me were bushes and as I stepped deeper into the forest, I could only hear the sounds from the crickets in the dark. The moon was still shining bright, casting its light over my path. I had no idea what I was doing. But I was sure that I was on my way to meet the man who would help me with my escape. My heart thumped forcefully in a rhythmic

Irene pov A month later, peace had finally returned to the pack and I could finally breathe. The air shifted and changed into something better and less contaminated. During that same time, I had been working really hard to gain the trust of the pack. "You know they're calling you 'The Gentle Luna' now, right?" Camila said, grinning as she handed me a mug of tea. I blinked and paused for a while. "Wait, what? Seriously?" I asked and She nodded at me. Her eyes were full of excitement. "It's spreading. The news is spreading outside the pack house. Even the traders in the market were saying how kind you were to the orphanage. Someone even mentioned you helped a little girl fix her broken doll. I'm so proud of you, sweetbreads,โ she revealed and I chuckled, feeling warmth rise in my chest. "I didn't think people noticed that. This has to be very lovely news!โ "Well, they did. And they are talking about it and they are doing that In a good way." That morning sunlight came i

Lucien โIt is done, Alpha.โ The guards assured me about Malcolm's additional punishment already carried out. I felt at peace at last. The traitors had been punished, and the pack would begin to heal. Though Kael was still out there, I knew he was no match for me, especially since his actions had been so wildly spread. If he were to ever be seen, he would not escape my wrath.The pack members would see that he was duly executed. Left to him, I would have killed him. He touched Irene and that alone should have made me behead him myself. Irene joined me in our room after talking to Silas. I was content that they were bonding well. She came to meet me on the bed, her warmth a gentle reminder of why I shouldn't bother about anything. She was cool, she was ice and she was fire. As we rested, Irene asked. โLucien, why did you spare the council member's lives? I mean, you had every right to kill them, but you didn't. That's the punishment for traitors, death.โI looked at her, my eyes sea

LucienโLong live the Alpha, long live the Alpha.โThe crowd cheered loudly, content about the verdict I gave each of the traitors. It was the hardest for me to do. Tos sentence all seven of the council of Elders, but I was sure that was the right thing to do.โIt's time for Malcolm Stark's verdict!โ One of the guards announced. The ground fell silent as the elders were led away, their fate sealed. I nodded to the guards, my voice firm. "Bring Malcolm in."The guards returned with Malcolm, his eyes gleaming with desperation and anger. He wasn't remorseful. He didn't even reflect on what he had done. To him, he was right and everyone was wrong. He stood tall, his shoulders squared, but I saw the faintest tremble in his lips. As he faced me, his gaze darted around the room, searching for an ally or an escape.โIf you're looking for where to run to, I assure you that you wouldn't move two feet without getting stabbed in your neck, so, relax and be good.โ I said. The guards chained him

LucienPeris would receive his judgement today. And then the council of Elders too. I didn't want to judge them altogether. I was going to hear each and everyone's side of the story. To me, that was fair and just. I was dressed and ready for the day when Irene came to stand by my side. "It's time for Peris's judgment," I said, my voice firm.She placed a hand on my arm, her eyes searching mine. "I wish you luck, my love,โ she took a pause and went on. โPeris is not a man of many words, Lucien. He is timid and loyal, in his own way. Perhaps you should allow him to speak for himself. He might not even understand half of the plan.โI nodded, considering her words. When Silas and I had been listening to the conversation they had in Kael's house, Peris seemed like the last person to understand the plan. He wasn't much of a contributor, just a sleeping accomplice. "Very well," I said. "I'll hear him out. But, why am I feeling like you want me to spare him?โShe laughed. โNo, silly. I know

Irene's POVI closed the door softly behind Lucien, his kiss still lingered on my lips. He said he wanted to meet with some pack members, to reassure them after the chaos of the arrest.He seemed relieved at least. That was all that mattered to me. Apart from the butterflies tingling at the pit of my belly, I was fine. It was late now and all I wanted was Lucien's presence with me. To hold me, kiss me, and feel me. I couldn't ever get enough of him. He was my strength and my weakness.A knock broke through my thoughts and I answered.โCome in,โ I said, rising to my feet, heart thudding for a reason I didn't know.The door creaked open, and Silas stepped inside. He stood, his eyes somber, rimmed with guilt and sadness. He looked pale. I hadn't forgotten that he had been stabbed, his arm had been bandaged.โSilas, are you okay? You look so pale.โ I said, already moving closer to him. โDid you eat at all?โโIrene,โ he said, his voice low. โCan I talk to you?I nodded slowly and motione

Lucien's POVโTake them to the dungeon, make sure their screams don't disturb the peace of the house.โ I ordered, my words heavy and final.The guards began to pull Malcolm, Peris, and the Elders forward, their hands were bound and their heads were lowered for the first time in years. The crowd parted for them, watchful. If not for the guards, I'm sure the pack wouldn't hesitate to kill them with their claws.Malcolm was the first to open his mouth. He was never the type to accept defeat when it came.โThis is madness, Lucien!โ he barked, fighting against the guards as they shoved him forward. โYouโre letting emotion cloud your judgment. This is not the way of the council! You can't just discard us like that, this is barbaric!โI stepped forward, my gaze not leaving him. โYou taught me the ways of this council. You knew everything, didn't you? But you still failed to live by your teachings. It's over, Malcolm.โHis eyes narrowed, but before he could speak again, the eldest member of

Irene's POVI tried to sleep. The warmth of the blanket should have comforted me, but my instincts prickled beneath my skin. I was too restless. The bond between Lucien and I hummed with something heavy.Then I heard itโhis voice, cold and full of command.โBOW DOWN!โโLucien?โ I echoed, and sat up instantly. My breath was caught in my throat. That wasn't a command whispered in private. That was Lucien's Alpha voice; the kind he'd used on Silas the first time we met. He told me to stay inside, but that was the last thing to do. I threw the blankets off and dressed quickly, tugging a robe over my body. I left the room and ran down the hall. I met a few guards posted around.โWhat's going on?โ I asked breathlessly.The guards looked at themselves before one of them answered. โAlpha Lucien is exposing the traitors. The Council of Elders are being arrested.โโWhat?โ I was shocked. Lucien hadn't said anything like that this morning. Why had he asked me not to come out? I didn't wait for

Lucien's POVThe morning sun barely broke out before I had my bath, got dressed, and crawled back into bed with Irene. She smelt nice after the thorough bath we had during midnight.โI need to meet the council,โ I said, tightening the last button of my shirt as Irene stirred beneath the sheets.She opened her eyes slowly, still drowsy from the night we spent locked in each other's arms. โGood morning. What did you say?โI leaned down and kissed her gently, brushing her hair from her face. โYou look so beautiful, Irene.โShe giggled and kissed me. โThat's not what I asked you, Lucien.โโI am meeting the pack council.โ I repeated slowly. โThis is something I shouldโve done a long time ago, it's not too late now, though. But I need you to stay here.โHer brows furrowed, worry creeping into her gaze. โStay here? Why?โโBecause I can't risk you getting hurt again. Not like before.โ I kissed her, slower this time, memorising the softness of her lips. โPlease, Irene. Trust me, huh?โHer sile

Lucien's POVโI have stitched up his wound. He would come around in the morning. It's nothing serious.โ The healer assured us and I gave him a nod of gratitude.Irene stood still, not wanting to leave the room.โSilas will be fine, Irene. Let's go to our room.โ I whispered, pulling her away from the healer's chamber. Silas had passed out because of the blood he lost, but the healer assured us that he would be fine. I had no intention of going to the hospital, I wanted to do this low key and get to the councils when they were totally relaxed. Irene didn't argue with me this time, she just held my hand tight as I led her out. She made sure Silas was settled and he was breathing. โWill he be fine?โ She asked silently, her voice warm.I nodded without saying a word. She seemed to trust my silence because she willingly allowed me to lead her down the hallway, past other rooms, until we got to our room. When we reached the bedroom door, I paused, reluctant to go in with her. She might b
