LOGINIRENE
By the time the guards came, Karson had fallen unconscious again. They handed me a dress and I threw it over my head as they took him from me.
My heart gnawed and skin crawled to stay close to him, but I let them take him. My shoulders slumped defeated.
Raphael came around, still in his wolf form and he offered me a ride. The silence as we rode back to the house plagued my mind. I kept glancing at Karson's unconscious body in the car.
“Whe
Irene’s POVThe intention with the Stone pack is to give them a chance to rethink their decision. Maybe some negotiation. There would be no need to ruin each other if we could just come to a reasonable compromise. I would have preferred we wait for whatever it is they plan to do to us. But according to Mia, you don’t always have to fight all battles. Sometimes, you talk your way out of it. Know what they want and why.
Irene’s POVKarson and Lucas arrived with a worried expression just as I was planning a defense against the Stone pack with Ken. “What happened? Why are you breathing so heavily?” I asked in concern. Karson h
Karson’s POVWith Lucas and a few guards, we formed the search team to find Lexie. I was hoping Raphael would have gotten a hold of her by now. Seeing her show up at the camp again after such an intense search almost makes me think she might be untouchable, but I do not want to believe such nonsense. No matter how much backup Lexie might have, I will find her through the hole she crawls into. I have had enough with the situation at hand and can’t wait for all this to be over.
Irene’s POV“How do you feel?” Lucas whispered next to me, his eyes on the bandage wrapped around my arm. I huffed at the sight of it. Karson’s insistence has prompted me to get treated even though I assured him it was a small scratch.
Irene’s POVIn a split second, she kicked my leg causing me to stumble back a bit. But before she could make a run for it, I grabbed her ponytail, throwing her at the wall. As I tried to reach for her again, she grabbed my arm scratching me with her claws. I slapped her hard across the face and she fell against the desk pushing down the badge box. Lexie’s eyes rounded like saucers when it opened and nothing came out of it.
Irene’s POVWhen we arrived at the tent, Karin did a good job of staying put in it. Karson put Carl down quietly and we both tiptoed around the tent where the said spy was. The moment we sighted her, I leaped forward grabbing her by my claws to ensure she didn’t slip away. She screamed in effect, struggling to break free. “Let me go! Let me go!”
