Chapter 7
Xavier's P.O.V I called for an urgent meeting and I was very sure that all the Alphas were already at Supreme Alpha Conan's house. I stylishly sent words to Supreme Alpha Conan to inform him about what his son did and how he almost killed my mate and me.Emphasizing my mate, I exaggerated a lot of things all in a bid to make sure that Liam would be given the punishment that he deserves. Supreme Alpha Conan wasn't going to spare Liam one bit so I had to make sure that Supreme Alpha Conan wouldn't have a reason to have mercy or pity on Liam. I left my Beta, Damian, outside the pack house, giving him strict instructions on not letting them escape because when Liam launched his attack, his Beta, Scott, wasn't there. I didn't want to take any chances with Liam because there was a high possibility that Liam might have connected with Scott through the mind link. I sauntered into the pack house, running my hands through my hair while making sure that it was well tousled. I made sure that my dressing looked rough and made sure that blood stains were on my clothes. Everything I did was to divert Supreme Alpha Conan's attention from me. Him, he thought that I had reformed into being a sweet and calm person so I didn't want to make him have any doubts about me and I needed to paint Liam badly.No one must know that I am still the ruthless person that I have been and I have never changed, instead, I was living under a facade because I wanted to please the Supreme Alpha. Before I walked towards the meeting room, I made sure that I tore a piece of my shirt, keeping it inside the pocket of my trousers. I knocked on the door, before entering the room. As soon as I entered the room, their gaze was fixated on me with the room covered with gasps while everyone's eyes widened in total disbelief. I narrowed my gaze toward the Supreme Alpha who was sitting at the rear end of the table. His eyes were also widened in total disbelief, I could sense his fury from afar."Something needs to be done about Alpha Liam, this is not only sick but it's bothersome" Alpha Shawn yelled while I gave him a nod. He was doing his job perfectly! Almost all the Alphas held Liam with great disdain. He wasn't only proud but he was childish, rebellious, and always looked down on everyone. Meanwhile, I was closer to the youngest Alpha in our midst, Alpha Shawn because I kind of had a soft spot for him and I loved the way he always acted witty. Most importantly, I told him to instigate the other Alphas against Liam and that I must give him his accolades because he did a very perfect job. I sat on the right-hand side of Supreme Alpha Conan as he took a glance at me before averting his gaze from me. His face was devoid of emotion and he seemed to be in great ponder as he lowered his head, when he raised his head back. He glanced at me taking in a deep breath. "Did my son Liam do this to you? He tried to hurt you and your mate?""Yes, Alpha Liam is the reason why my mate is currently unconscious. He threatened to kill the two of us, claiming that he was the only one who deserved to be the supreme Alpha" I said, heaving out a sigh."I see that this is what it is about, " Supreme Alpha Conan muttered, exhaling.Alpha Shawn stood up from his chair, exchanging glances with me while I winked at him, giving him my go-ahead. "Supreme Alpha Conan, whatever Alpha Liam did today wasn't only disrespectful but evil. We all know how long Supreme Alpha Conan has stayed without a mate. Alpha Liam had no right to attack Alpha Xavier and his soon-to-be Luna! Considering the facts that we all know that Alpha Xavier is the next to be in line supreme Alpha, I hope that Alpha Liam is punished accordingly for his atrocity against Alpha Xavier and his Luna""Yes! Alpha Liam should be punished accordingly" All the Alphas chorused in unison."Thank you" I mouthed to Alpha Shawn who smirked as he sat down.A deafening silence enveloped the room and when Supreme Alpha Conan finally broke the silence, he ordered Liam to be brought inside. Liam tried to defend himself, saying that I was the one who attacked him, showing wounds that I inflicted on him but I feigned ignorance, pretending that I didn't know what he was talking about. "He wounded me, he beat me up""Cut all your crap? Why did you attack him and his mate?" Supreme Alpha Conan thundered, glaring at him with his fist clenched. Supreme Alpha Conan had Liam whipped while I watched how he groaned in pain. I glanced at Alpha Shawn and I could see how he was having a great time enjoying the show happening before him. "Father, am I even your son? How dare you humiliate me because of this despicable being""Whip him again" Supreme Alpha Conan roared as the whip tore through Conan's back with blood gushing out of his back."Because of your lack of remorse and because you attacked Alpha Xavier and his soon to be luna, you are hereby temporarily relieved of your duties for a year, and your Beta, Scott would be the Alpha of the blood moon pack""You are surely going to regret this father! For what you did to me, I would make sure I kill you and your fake mate, mark my words!" Liam yelled as he was dragged out of the room. All the Alphas sympathized with me while the Supreme Alpha gestured for me to come closer. I walked closer to him, lowering my head. "Alpha Xavier, I am sorry for whatever Liam has done. I would advise you to do the necessary things with your Luna. Then bring her to me""Supreme Alpha Conan, you don't need to apologize and worry because I am getting married to my soon-to-be Luna this evening!"Chapter 8Irene's P.O.V I kept turning and tossing on my bed, I had a nightmare that sent chills to my bone as my eyes fluttered open with fore beads of sweat on my forehead. I scrutinized the room with my eyes, placing a hand on my head as I felt a sharp pain in my head.My sight was blurred as I leaned against the headboard of the bed, trying to process where I was. Slowly, all the memories came rushing into my head and most especially, how the man who was forcefully getting married to me turned out to be a werewolf. From what I could recollect, this wasn't the room I was in earlier. Could it be that the men who came to attack Xavier, killed him already and decided to take me with them? I hoped that was the case because I couldn't just wrap my head around the werewolf stuff and how my father could force me into a marriage with a werewolf.The most important thing was Xavier was dead already and if those people spared my life and brought me here, it could only mean one thing! And i
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
