“Who could have the pack's secret in his hand?” I asked no one in particular.
I was quite in awe when the night crept on me like a thief. Staring straight into the sky, all I could see was the star that blinked faintly.
The moon had since disappeared and the cold air pushed through my windows.
I could not shake the uneasy feeling that gripped me tightly and refused to let me go. It kept on tightening its hold with every second that passed.
“Who could have done this? I have made a mess of myself towards Irene and now, I can't face her because of how angry she was towards me,” I lamented bitterly and the words felt like vinegar on my lips.
I knew I should have apologized to her but she didn't seem to want to have anything to do with me since the search.
Oh, Lucien. You fucke

Irene“Was it possible for someone to stalk me in the dark?”I had been running since forever and my legs were beginning to ache badly so I had to stop and find a place to rest for a few minutes.My breaths were shallow and quick and the cold night air kept on biting at my already weak lungs as I paused.My ears were alert and they strained for any strange sound beyond the natural sound that the forest makes.Someone was following me. I could feel it.I kept breathing heavily, my eyes monitoring everything that was happening.I pressed my back against the trunk of a large tree and its rough bark dug into my skin. I was quite sure that the bark of the tree must have given me some marks.My heart pounded furiously in my chest. I feared that my heart beat was so lou

Lucien“Oh, for goodness sake, Irene! Is it because I allowed you to talk back to me that made you grow wings?” I thundered.This defiant being had made hell set loose and I was going to teach her a lesson.“Do your worst, Lucien! I don't care if you are going to kill me not. Afterall, I was almost killed by those rogues and I'm in pain. You can sum it all by sending me to an early grave!”She was still blabbing. No, no, no I couldn’t take it anymore.I grabbed her by the arm, shoving her against the nearest tree.“Do you think this is a joke?” I asked, my voice shaking with rage and she refused to look me in the eyes. “Look at me, you dumb ass!” I ordered, moving her face towards me. “Do you even understand what you have done? Do you understand the

EveThe door creaked faintly as I pushed it open. For some seconds, my knuckles lingered on the handle before I finally took that bold step to go in. “What if he sends you out?” A voice asked and I took a good look at myself. “There is no way he will be able to resist me. No way!” I was very much aware that Lucien’s mind was a mess after everything that had been happening to him. He had been receiving threats from every side and the only thing that might be on his mind was how he could come out of his mess. But here I was dressed up in sexy lingerie, right inside his room. My pointy nipples could be seen through the lingerie, and one would think it would make his mouth water, but that was not the case. “What do you want from me, Eve? What the hell are you doing in my room by this time of the day?” he asked, readjusting himself on his bed. “What do I look like I want? Isn't it easy? Can't you tell with your eyes?” I asked, moving closer to him to touch his bare skin. His skin

Lucien “You all know why we are here. I called for a meeting because it is urgent. As you might have heard, this pack is no longer safe for its People!” I informed the people who were present for the meeting. This meeting has been long overdue as things had begun to go overboard and I was not willing to take chances. “What are the guards doing then, if this pack can be invaded by our enemies?” One of the pack elders asked and silence seized in the meeting hall. “They are doing their best. I clearly won't be able to blame them. Sometimes, these invaders might outsmart out which is pretty normal. The guards are doing their best and I make sure they are,” I answered on their behalf. Note, I was not trying to defend them because there was no point doing that. “You think they are? I think that the guards are the one allowing the mishaps,” another notable member of the pack shouted from the far end where he was seated and ot

LucienIt was useless trying to read the documents in front of me. They kept getting blurry the more I stared into the papers.I had read the same page five times now, yet not a single word had stuck.There were a lot of things on my neck, a lot of things to do. Yet, I couldn't commit anything to memory?“Something must be wrong with me. I was not like this before,” I growled in frustration.I had to give myself a second chance and while I was trying to go through the files, I discovered that the files were not as complete as before.This only meant one thing, someone else must have laid hands on it.“Damn it! These people keep testing my patience!”With a frustrated growl, I shoved the papers aside, sending them scattering across the desk.

IreneMy tight shut eyes opened slowly and I sat up immediately I woke up from the bed.Air rushed straight into my lungs and it felt like this was actually the first time since forever that I was breathing normally.My body jerked forward as if I had been shocked back to life. My heart pounded wildly in my chest and I could still hear the steady beep of the machine beside me.What…? What just happened? Where have I been?I held my chest with my right hand and I blinked Continuously, allowing my eyes to adjust to the dimly lit room.All I could see around me was the hospital bed and the white walls.I was in a hospital. But why? How did I get here?I tried to put my brain to work but I ended up thinking too much and the last thing I remembered was….

LucienMy phone rang out and I didn't bother to check the caller ID.I was too deep in work and my hands were so busy with these files. We were doing a lot of sorting of papers to send them out to other packs who were willing to come into an alliance with her.I had been out here for hours, making sure that everything was going as planned. Nothing had to get missing, no matter what.Another ring suddenly came in and in annoyance, I wiped my hands on my pants and finally answered.“What?” I asked in such a way that the person would know that he or she was disturbing me.“Alpha,” a voice on the other end called out. “This call is from the hospital.”Everything inside me froze. The hospital? Damn, then this has to be related to Irene. I hope nothing was wrong.&nb

Irene“You think I’m afraid of you? I keep telling you countless times that I'm not afraid of you,” I scoffed, folding my arms as I glared at him.Lucien stood there with his grey eyes that were dark with something I could not tell.I knew that Lucien would be able to do something unbelievable but I didn't know what to expect. Either way, I prepared my mind.He tilted his head and the corner of his lips twitching, as if amused. I wonder what was funny to him.Was it the fact that I had his blood or the fact that I was challenging him?“I could end this right now like you always wanted,” he informed me, reaching into his belt.A glint of silver caught my eye and before it could register in my brain that what I was staring at was a dagger, I swallowed hard.I didn't

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

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.“I need to meet the council,” 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. “Good morning. What did you say?”I leaned down and kissed her gently, brushing her hair from her face. “You look so beautiful, Irene.”She giggled and kissed me. “That's not what I asked you, Lucien.”“I am meeting the pack council.” I repeated slowly. “This is something I should’ve done a long time ago, it's not too late now, though. But I need you to stay here.”Her brows furrowed, worry creeping into her gaze. “Stay here? Why?”“Because I can't risk you getting hurt again. Not like before.” I kissed her, slower this time, memorising the softness of her lips. “Please, Irene. Trust me, huh?”Her sile

Lucien's POV“I have stitched up his wound. He would come around in the morning. It's nothing serious.” The healer assured us and I gave him a nod of gratitude.Irene stood still, not wanting to leave the room.“Silas will be fine, Irene. Let's go to our room.” 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. “Will he be fine?” 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
