The Alpha and the traitor's daughter Chapter 46
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

LucienI needed to stop thinking about her and now, it felt like I had been intoxicated by her.But the moment I left the elders' meeting that night, my feet moved on their own, leading me toward the hospital to see the lady who was about to destroy my mental state.The meeting with the elder's had been long, filled with endless discussions about the state of the pack, the rival pack trying to gain ground in the North, and some other trivial issues that made it difficult for me to think properly.Yet, despite all the pressing issues, it was Irene’s face that filled my thoughts.Every time I tried to focus on anything else, her face, her eyes, her scent, the softness of her lips against mine flooded my mind, blocking everything else from coming.I clenched my jaw and let out a breath, disappointed and irritated with myself by what

IreneI didn't wait for anyone the moment I was able to escape. I didn't care about Lucien’s feelings and how confused he would be when he found out that I disappeared .The fun fact? He had just seen me shortly before I supposedly vanished into thin air.I kept running in the night as I rushed to get my brother out of the terrible place he was locked up in.I didn’t stop for once and I didn’t look back.My legs carried me faster than I had ever ran before and I could hear my heartbeat roaring greatly in my ears.I had to get my brother. I had to save him before the guards or Lucien got alerted that a captive was missing.I got to the underground cells in no time because of my speed and they were just as I remembered.They were old and damp. It was not a plac

Lucien“Irene! Irene!!” I called her name multiple times as I shook her body and my heart could not stop racing fast because of what just happened.Did she just collapse?No, this has to be a joke! One moment, she was staring at me with that defiant fire in her eyes, and the next, her body gave way.Luckily for me, I was able to catch her before she hit the ground and that was a great relief.My anger which was sharp and burning just moments ago, evaporated the second her knees gave way.My heart slammed against my ribs, and for a moment, I forgot why I was even furious.All I could see was her fragile body which was utterly defenseless.Her body was still warm but her breathing was not normal. Something was definitely wrong somewhere and I had no idea what it was.&nbs

The Alpha and the traitor's daughter Chapter 164
IRENE “You look beautiful, Luna.” One of the maids whispered, stepping back to admire her work on me.. It's the morning of the mating ceremony. My heart thudded with nervous excitement when the maids filed into my room to dress me up. I stared at my reflection. I looked breathtaking. This was the kind of life that I deserved. “I… thank you,” I murmured to the maid, fingers brushing over the necklace that now rested on my collarbone. The meeting ground was filled to the brim. The whole pack had gathered. It was a sea of smiling faces, murmuring blessings, dressed in their best for the occasion. Silas stood near the altar, dressed in royal blue, his hands were clasped together, the sacred scrolls at his side. And then, there he was, Lucian, my alpha. He stood at the center of the courtyard like a solid pillar. His eyes were locked on me as I was led to meet him. “By the blessing of the Moon,” Silas intoned when I was facing Lucian. “We are gathered here to witness the sacred

LUCIEN My eyes widened in shock when I heard what she said. I asked her to repeat it to be sure I heard the right thing. “I am pregnant,” Irene said again when I asked her to, her voice barely above a whisper, but those words cracked through my chest in a way I never thought it would. The world tilted. She IS pregnant. For a moment, I couldn’t speak. I just stared at her, trying to absorb the weight of her confession. I even frowned because I was too confused to understand her, not because I was angry. I saw fear travel to her eyes, and I had to soften my expression to assure her that I was happy. “You…” I took a breath. “You’re serious?” Irene nodded, her eyes already heavy with tears. “Yes.” I stepped closer, cupping her face with both hands, my thumbs brushing her cheeks. “Why… why didn’t you tell me earlier, my love?” She bit her lip, and then, as if the dam had broken, she spoke. “I found out while I was still with Kael,” she said, her voice shaking. “Back when I was ta

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
