Chapter NineXavier's P.O.V I couldn't describe the anger that I felt on seeing Irene still wearing the same clothes she had on before she left. I heard Irene throwing a fit up the stairs, screaming and crying for them to leave her alone. Sounds of broken glasses echoed around the house but that wasn't my business, my gaze was fixed on the wall clock. It was two minutes remaining and if Irene wasn't out before the time lapsed, then trouble would surely ensue. Sitting at the slave quarters was something that the servants found surprising because whenever they locked eyes with me, they stood still, quivering with their heads ducked down until I dispersed them off. "Leave me alone! I don't want to get married " Irene screamed out her lungs as she was dragged out by some servants.The mascara on her face was smeared by the tears that streamed down her face. She was a total mess with her disheveled hair. "I tried to do my best by dressing her well but she ruined it herself. I am sorry,
Chapter TenIrene's P.O.VThe word "Wife" kept ringing in my head as I brushed through my hair. The maids trooped in with luxurious shopping bags while standing behind me as they watched me brush through my hair while smothering it with oil. "Please leave" I muttered, almost bawling my eyes before them, for them to just leave me alone. It was just a day after my forced marriage and I felt suffocated already. I doubted that I would be able to last a week in this darned house. Everybody suffocated me, most especially the maids who always ensured that I was okay.A lot of women would have loved to be in my shoes as long as they enjoyed the princess treatment but I could swear that I would never get used to this life! The more they surrounded me, the more it felt like I was in an enclosed space, struggling to gasp for air. Lily walked towards me with her head ducked down, she knelt, bowing her head while I rolled my eyes because I couldn't count the number of times that I had warned
Chapter 11Xavier's P.O.V My hope was that Irene doesn't mess things up for me. I was finally a step away from achieving my dreams, Liam was already kicked out and the ball was now in Irene's court.When I saw how she quivered and lowered her head in fear, I shook my head in nothing but sheer pity for her. I focused my gaze on the clock and averted it back to Irene whose head was still ducked down as she fiddled with her fingers. "Irene, I am not trying to hurt you or anything but if you listen to my instructions, I would treat you well"She bobbed her head nervously as she squirmed in her seat. Now, she was beginning to annoy me because with the way she was all aquiver, it made me wonder if this was how she would act when we got to the Supreme Alpha's house. "Irene, are you even listening to what I am saying?" I glared at her as we made eye contact while she suddenly lowered her head."Y-Yes" She stuttered, pursing her lips. I swept my hair backward as I heaved out an exaspera
Chapter 12Irene's P.O.V When I noticed the way Xavier squeezed his eyes shut as he glanced at me. I knew that trouble was definitely brewing in a corner. "You are lucky that I didn't come to drag you!" He hissed as he got into the car while I followed after. We drove outside of the woods as different thoughts ran through my head. As much as I hated Xavier for how much he had ruined my life, I found myself repeating the exact words he told me to say when we got to the supreme Alpha's house. "I am the daughter of the Northern Cape Alpha. I am a werewolf" I muttered under my breath.The mere thought of me being a werewolf irked me. I couldn't actually believe that I was actually obeying Xavier but maybe it was for the best. Because, who knows if the Supreme Alpha was more dangerous and cruel than Xavier.The annoying thing was that I didn't even know the meaning of their ranks! I tilted my head slightly as I turned to look at Xavier who stared out the window. "Mr Xavier....." He
Chapter 13Irene's P.O.V I caught sight of a tall mansion that stood in the middle of oak trees at a distance. "That must be the supreme Alpha's house" I thought inwardly as I felt my stomach tie a knot. I wasn't only anxious but I was scared as I began to fiddle with my fingers again. Xavier seemed to have noticed my distress as he placed his hands on mine assuring me that everything would be fine. "Irene, you don't have to be scared. Just follow my instructions and everyone would live happily ever after "His warm smile suddenly turned to a smirk. "I am sure you know the consequences of your action if you disobey me" He patted me on the hand. I wanted to retort to his words. I wanted to scream out loud and cry because of the effect he had on me. How dare he? How dare he threaten me when he snatched my life away from me! All my dreams and aspirations were gone because I was forcefully married to a beast.I didn't know where I suddenly got the courage to speak but I found myself b
Chapter 14Xavier's P.O.V I was amazed at how I didn't feel any kind of emotion when I placed my lips on Irene's lips. Maybe I wasn't really surprised because I have never felt any type of emotion towards anybody. That part of me was dead already. However, the way Irene's mood fluctuated kind of scared me. I had a feeling that if I do not instill fear in her, she would ruin things for me."The supreme Alpha is the only one you should bow to" I whispered as we approached Supreme Alpha Conan who sat at the rear end of the table with all the other Alphas present too."Alpha Xavier!" Shawn, the youngest Alpha amongst us squeaked in excitement, all the other Alphas stood to their feet as an applause followed after."Congratulations, Alpha Xavier" They all chuckled while Supreme Alpha Conan sat on his chair with a bright smile on his face. I glanced at Irene who fiddled with her fingers as we talked towards them, I leaned by her side a bit and whispered. "Irene, it looks like fiddlin
Chapter 15Irene's P.O.V One thing I couldn't believe was that the Supreme Alpha was cruel and ruthless. Slowly, it dawned on me that Xavier might have tried to paint a bad image of him because he wanted me to do his biddings.The Supreme Alpha melted my heart when he told me that I could address him as my father. "Father?" I repeated as he gave a nod and took me by the hands. "You can see me as your father, I know you have one but you don't know how happy I am to see you. You are like a light that came to brighten up the darkest corners" He squeezed me gently on the hand and the next thing I knew was that tears were beginning to form in my eyes."Why are you crying? Did I say something wrong?" He asked with a feeling of concern on his face. "No, you didn't, father" I said as he pressed his lips against the back of my palm."From the way you talk, I have seen that you are a very good person and I want you to know that Xavier is a very good person as well. He might have had his dark
Chapter 16Irene's P.O.VI trudged up the stairs, glancing behind me to be sure that no one noticed my absence at the dining hall. Finding the room where Supreme Alpha Conan was, was pretty easy because all the rooms had name tags on the door.All of a sudden, I stood frozen to a spot when I caught sight of a large portrait hanging on the wall. I moved closer to the picture with my hands crossed behind my back. It was a picture of the Supreme Alpha and three young men that I couldn't recognize with the way they looked goofy. I darted my eyes toward the one who placed his hand on the Supreme Alpha's shoulder.His eyes were cold, yet he had a bright smile on his face that looked like it could illuminate the darkest corners of a room. "Xavier" A slight frown formed on my face as I kept my gaze fixed on his portrait.The only thing that I wanted to do was do the things to his portrait that I wouldn't dare do to his physical self. Images of me stabbing his pictures so many times flashed in
