The Alpha and the traitor's daughter Chapter 19
Lucian“I’m not in the mood for games. What do you need me for?” I growled, pinching the bridge of my nose. “I'm sorry for disturbing you, Lucian. But it's something urgent,” 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.“Fuck it! Fuck everything,’ I cursed under my breath. “You should know that whenever I go into my room, I become very busy and I need no disturbance,” I said to him over the call, and the memory of her lying on the bed close to me made my skin warm. “I'm sorry, Lucian. I will take note of that next time,” 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. “You 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,” Lucian said to me and I was getting pissed already. “I do not have control over the situation that you are talking about. I am simply doing my best,” 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. “I 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.”“Apologize? For what?” I asked, widening my eyes in fear. “You will know soon,” he answered and his vo

Irene“Alpha Radcliffe was going to help me escape?”My 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,” 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“Do you ever regret being alive, Irene?”I wished I could tell how long this question has come back haunting but I already knew the answer even if it was not spoken out loud. And if I could open my mouth to speak concerning this for a second, anyone would have pity on me. While seated in the cold dungeon that Alpha Lucian had thrown me in, I could hear my father's voice echoing so clearly as if he was with me in the dungeon.I looked around, trying to find out if there was anyone with me but there wasn't. I was the only one here with a cold and insects sucking my blood every second that passed. “Lucian really did this to me?” I asked myself. I still could not believe it. He had always hated me but this was too extreme. I laid back on the cold wall in the dungeon, my skin pressing firmly on the wall and I began to remember all the time I had spent with my father. Some years ago, we had been together, arguing about so many things. I was just young then, too young to underst

Lucian“What is it about her that won’t let me breathe? What is so special about that lady that I can't sleep well at night? What is so special about her that I wake up thinking about her?”The question tore through my thoughts as I stood outside the heavy door that separated us.I was crazy. I knew I was. I should not have been here. I had no business pacing the halls like some restless wolf chasing its prey. But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t get her out of my head.Irene.Why was I suddenly missing her defiant attitude towards me? Why was I feeling lonely because she was not here around me? The house was empty without her, and I hated the silence.I was the one who threw her in the cell so that she could learn some lessons and now, I'm beginning to worry too much about her. She was nothing but trouble. She was stubborn, defiant, and so annoyingly captivating that it made my chest tighten.I should not miss her. I should not care about her sharp tongue or the fire that burn

Irene“Don't go, Lucian! Don't step your feet out of this place, please!” I shouted at the top of my voice, gripping the bars of the cell as I struggled to get up.Luckily for me that worked. He stopped. He did! Lucian stopped to listen to me? Am I dreaming?I held the bars harder, my legs shaking even more. I wanted to scream at him, to tell him harsh words that will cause more pain in his heart.“Do you take pride in making me miserable, Lucien? Do you really love seeing me this way? You love the way I'm suffering right here in the cell?” I blurted out, my voice trembling with frustration.His face remained as pale as fuck, as if my words were nothing more than an annoying buzz in his ears.What the hell was wrong with him? Was he that heartless? How was I sure the man standing in front of me has a heart?Wel

IreneAgain, it was as if I got heartbroken anytime he decided to leave me to myself.I could not believe it when I heard the door creak open, and after I heard the sound, there was an unmistakable silence in my roomI had thought he had left me for good, not even caring to give me a proper goodbye, but here he was, standing in front of me again as if nothing had happened."I thought you left," I blurted out, wishing I could hit me with my fist continuously but I could not.I was still stuck in here. Before I could catch myself, I quickly added."I'm sorry, Lucien. I didn't mean it like that. I'm really sorry. Please, forgive me.”But I saw it. The storm that was hidden deep inside of him was still raging in his eyes.I was confused by what was happening at first until I discovered that the anger had n

Irene“I asked a bloody question, woman!” I asked again as she held the knife firmly to my neck.I was still trying to recover from the shock and my mind was scrambling to make sense of everything that had just happened.There was a fucking intruder in this house whose purpose was to stab me to death while no one was watching.The thought of that sent chills down my spine.My pulse was still racing as I stood in the kitchen, an inch away from her as I tried to calm myself.A severe headache was starting to creep in and it brought that nagging pain in the back of my head that seemed to make things worse.Who was this stranger? Why had she been in the kitchen with a knife? Positioned to kill me?The worst was that I asked a question and I was met with silence. Such disrespect.&n

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
