The Alpha and the traitor's daughter Chapter 141
LUCIEN"Where the hell is she?" I thundered and my eyeballs moved from one end of the corridor to another. I was so loud that my voice bounced off the walls of the empty corridor. I was angry and scared at the same time because I feared that something evil must have happened. I stood there, holding myself down as I kept breathing hard like I had just run a marathon.Two days!! Two damn days and still, nothing.At first, I thought she was just furious with me. This wouldn't be the first time Irene gave me the silent treatment. This wouldn't be the first time I deserved it either.But this? This silence and this complete disappearance from her was something that threw me off guard. I turned and stormed down the corridor, ignoring the curious glances thrown my way. Let them stare. I didn’t care. I needed someone to sit me down and explain to me. I stormed down angrily and I didn't even realize I was heading straight for Silas until I almost collided into him at the bend of the hal

LUCIEN"Find her. I don’t care how long it takes. Just find her and bring her back to me!” I commanded. The words burned as they left my mouth. They were like hot iron branding my tongue.I stood in the middle of my office, surrounded by my most trusted guards. Their faces were hard, determined and they knew better than to question me.This was a very critical period for all of us and I was not going to take any chances. "I want every inch of this territory searched," I said, voice cold and sharp. "Every border, every river, every cave. No one rests until she’s found. People can't disappear under my watch! It's uncalled for!” They nodded and they raised their fists to their chests."Go," I barked at them and in a flash, they scattered like wolves on the hunt.I was left alone again, and silence began to consume me. I was relieved that I had given out that order. Now, I have to wait for them to bring back good news. I slammed my fist into the desk and the papers scattered to the

IRENE"So funny! So, what he wants is for me to sit here and wait for death, you are dead wrong. I'm not going to be doing that!” I said aloud the moment I heard the faint click of the door handle.I scrambled to my feet with my heart hammering against my ribs. This was a very funny situation that I found myself in. My teeth gritted and I tightened my face as I prepared to fight whoever dared to walk in.It should have been Kael because It had always been Kael.He was the one who I was expecting. That bastard of a man with his fake smiles but to my surprise, it wasn’t him.The door swung open, and Malcom stepped in. Malcom? Was I seriously normal?For a second, I thought my mind was playing tricks on me. Maybe the hunger, the fear and the anger had finally snapped something inside me.But no, it was him! It was that same man with cold eyes and a face that had never once smiled at me.My intestines twisted painfully and I didn't know what else to say that would show my rage. I h

KAEL"You have ruined everything, Kael! Why the hell were you thinking!”Those harsh words hit me as soon as Malcolm’s icy eyes met mine outside the room. We stood in the narrow corridor and the heavy door was closed behind us. I had called him out so that we could talk privately.I could barely breathe as the tension between us threatened to suffocate us to death. Malcolm stepped forward without warning and I shifted my eyes, trying to steady my nerves, though inside I felt shattered. "You brought her here!" Malcolm barked, not wasting a second. "A wench my own son once claimed as his mate! Do you even know what you have done?" His voice dripped with anger and disgust.I clenched my fists, trying to be calm."I did what I had to do," I said. "Lucien will surrender every move to us if he finds out that Irene is under our control. We have an advantage."Malcolm’s face twisted into a sneer and he didn't buy that. "Advantage? Is that what you call it?" He asked and ran his eyes thro

Irene"Let him try to touch me and I swear I will claw his face off. He's crazy! I can't believe that he could say this to Malcolm.”I was a fool. That's what I now consider myself. I couldn't believe that I once thought Kael cared about me for a second. “Damn it! I can't believe it! No fucking way!”I had not expected to listen to this conversation but my inquisitive self got me and I found my ears placed on the door as I crouched a little. My heart thumped in my chest as I strained to catch every word coming from the other side.Their voices weren’t exactly too low to hear and Malcolm never cared about being discreet. Kael was more calculated, but now he sounded like a child being scolded. Does it mean that Malcom was scolding him for a job not well done?I was still trying to understand what was going on!“You brought her?” Malcolm asked and his voice was sharp and he sounded almost amused. “Lucien’s little toy? The same one he discarded months ago?”“He didn’t discard her. He s

LUCIEN"If he's hiding something, I'm going to find out. Even if it kills me,” I assured myself as I grew suspicious of Chris' disappearance. This was strange and I knew that it didn't just happen. It was not a coincidence. Something was happening in the background that I wasn't aware of. “He's up to something,” another thought ran through my head as I paced across my study.My instincts were clawing at me, telling me something was wrong and I could not ignore it because it was always right. It kept telling me someone close had betrayed me and now, all fingers were pointing at Chris. I know I couldn't be too sure about things but I was suspecting and I was sure of it. I hadn’t seen Chris in days.Every time I sent someone to find him, they returned empty-handed. No one knew where he went. No one had any answers to the numerous questions that I had asked about him and I was getting sick of it.My fists clenched at my sides. Chris was my Beta and my friend. He was the one I truste

Lucien"He is already on the move and he’s not alone, Lucien,” Silas said immediately as he stepped into my study. He didn’t bother knocking and he didn’t even shake when I whipped my head around so fast to look at him. My goodness! What was that? I appreciated the effort he was making towards this and I didn't damn care if he lacked courtesy or not. What I wanted was good information! "You followed Chris? How did it go? Please, spill the tea," I asked, heart thudding louder than it should."I did. Not for long, though," he said, moving to close the door behind him. "I didn’t need to. I know exactly where he is going."I stood up slowly, brows pulling together. "Where?""Malcolm’s house. There’s a meeting happening there and Chris isn’t the only one attending,” he informed me and my heart dropped.This was very concerning. My fists clenched and the veins on my face popped out. Of course Malcolm would be involved. The man had always rubbed me the wrong way. He was too quiet and

LucienWe sat in my car, parked far enough from Malcolm's mansion to avoid suspicion, yet we were close enough to pick up every word through Silas' little device. The night was unnaturally still and calm and it was only the faint hum of Silas' recorder that played between us.Silas leaned forward, fiddling with the device volume. "Just listen, carefully,” he informed me and after that, Chris' voice came through clearly. "We are fighting for something that matters, Peris. The park spies are the backbone of our survival. If we can get our hands on the document…""The one with the names?" Peris interrupted."Yes, all of them. Every spy hidden in every pack. If we find it and deliver it to the right Alphas, we can expose corruption and reset the system."I let out a dry laugh. Are they mad?"Reset the system? By throwing us into chaos? These people are very sick!”Silas stayed quiet. I could tell he was trying to process it all.Chris continued, unaware of how his words were slamming a

The Alpha and the traitor's daughter Chapter 162
Irene's POVI sat cross-legged on the bed, my fingers absently trailing over the hem of the gown sample laid beside me. A maid had dropped it off hours ago, it was a gift from the council of Elders. The mating ceremony was about a week away, and the house buzzed with preparations—flowers, fabrics, feasts. It was exciting. I loved all the attention I got, but Lucien had grown distant, distracted.He was still here, assuring me that he cared, but it had changed. A knock came and Lucien stepped in. He looked tense, but he still managed to give me a soft smile."You're awake," he said.“I waited.” I rose slowly. “You missed dinner again. What's going on Lucien? Did I do something wrong?”His eyes clouded, a fleeting look of hurt flickered across his face. “Oh, Irene.” He pulled me to the bed and we sat down. “Is that how I made you feel?”I nodded and he continued. “I'm sorry, my love. I was hurting you unintentionally.” He brushed a hand through his hair. “There’s been… something to fo

Irene“Lucien, did you cook again?” I asked as I smelt the rich and buttery scent of something. My brows lifted when I stepped into the room. There it was, laid out in its glory: a large plate of pasta and chicken on the small table near the window.“My queen, it's all yours.” Lucien chuckled like a kid who just got his first bicycle. I blinked, stunned. “What is all this about?”“Don’t freak out,” he said, holding his hands up in mock surrender. “I only burned one thing this time and it's still good. The chicken is tender.”I laughed, the sound bubbling out before I could stop it. “Why did you keep cooking, Lucien?”He shrugged, as if it were no big deal. “You’re too beautiful to be stressed. I wanted to give you something back. Besides…” He stepped closer, voice dropping to a teasing whisper. “I think I’m improving.”“You are,” I murmured, staring at the food. My heart fluttered—because he cared too much. The first time he’d cooked for me, it had been a disaster.“Common,” he had s

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,” 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!” "Well, they did. And they are talking about it and they are doing that In a good way." That morning sunlight came i

Lucien “It is done, Alpha.” 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. “Lucien, 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.”I looked at her, my eyes sea

Lucien“Long live the Alpha, long live the Alpha.”The 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.“It's time for Malcolm Stark's verdict!” 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.“If 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.” 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,” she took a pause and went on. “Peris 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.”I 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?”She laughed. “No, 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.“Come in,” 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.“Silas, are you okay? You look so pale.” I said, already moving closer to him. “Did you eat at all?”“Irene,” he said, his voice low. “Can I talk to you?I nodded slowly and motione

Lucien's POV“Take them to the dungeon, make sure their screams don't disturb the peace of the house.” 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.“This is madness, Lucien!” he barked, fighting against the guards as they shoved him forward. “You’re letting emotion cloud your judgment. This is not the way of the council! You can't just discard us like that, this is barbaric!”I stepped forward, my gaze not leaving him. “You 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.”His 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 it—his voice, cold and full of command.“BOW DOWN!”“Lucien?” 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.“What's going on?” I asked breathlessly.The guards looked at themselves before one of them answered. “Alpha Lucien is exposing the traitors. The Council of Elders are being arrested.”“What?” 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
