MasukI can’t do this.I need Daniel’s help. Why did he make me do this alone?I pick up my cellphone and dial his number. It’s the only contact on my phone so it’s not too hard to find it and call him. I want to get out of this room so that doctor grey doesn’t hear me speaking to Daniel in my language but I don’t know if someone else will come in and take my space.“Um… ma’am, is there something wrong?”, the doctor asks me.I ignore him. I’m too confused to keep trying to understand everything he is saying.Daniel picks up the phone after the second ring.“I need you to be here.” I say immediately he picks up.“I don’t understand half of the words they are saying. They are not helping me.”I see the doctor’s eyes widen in surprise on hearing my strange language.He looks like he wants to say something but he doesn’t. the way he’s looking at me is unnerving.My wolf stirs within me and it makes me uneasy. I force myself not to shift and make a scene.“Hold on. I’ll be right there”, Daniel s
IrinaThe lady who stood by the counter I approached stared at me in awkward silence, did I say something wrong? I said everything Daniel said I should say, so why was she staring at me like that.“Hi?” The woman said.“Yes hi. Hello, my name is Irina and I am 32 years old, I am three months pregnant.” I said again like I had recited.“Okay ma’am, I heard you the first time trust me, I am just flabbergasted by your approach.”She was what?“Flabbergasted? What does that mean?” It was a strange word, I didn’t know what she meant, she looked at me again, only this time with a little bit of surprise.“Sorry, where are you from?” She asked.The question triggered my recitation.“Uhm I am from Enid… I am from Oklahoma, Enid in Oklahoma.”The lady was young, like me, shorter of course, but I could tell we might be the same age, she had brown hair that stopped on her chin.Then a little white
IrinaThree Months Later“My name is Irina, and I am five.”“Four, you are four months pregnant.” I nodded immediately.“Yes. Uhm, okay, let me start all over again.”“Hi, my name is Irina. I am from Oklahoma. Here is my ID.” I shoved my hand into my purse, then brought out a little card and handed it to Daniel. He pretended to assess it.“Where in Oklahoma?”“Uhm, from uhm, I forgot it again. What do you call that place again? Enid?”Daniel let out an exasperated sigh.“Yes, Irina. You are 32, four months pregnant. You are from Enid, Oklahoma. Simple, simple! It shouldn’t be that hard.” He handed me the card again.“Okay. I know you are panicking, and I know you are scared, but you are four months pregnant, and you need to go to the hospital to get your little ones checked.” He said.Last night I felt a weird movement, a very disturbing movement in my belly, and I have been practicing my English for three months now, unfailingly.I just never spoke to someone else other than Daniel a
IrinaIt was the strangest thing I had ever heard, and it took me by surprise knowing someone spoke my language.I turned to Daniel in sheer shock.“Alden visited us. My kids speak your language,” Daniel said, but the shock still didn’t subside so easily.It felt life-changing to have someone other than Daniel speak my language. I didn’t know if I should scream or run toward the little girl.“She’s shocked, right? Danny, I told you to teach me her language!” Daniel’s wife struck his shoulder, the impact enough to pull me out of my dilemma.I didn’t understand what she was saying, but the way she struck him made me worry. My defenses went up, and my wolf neared the surface.The last thing I wanted was for any fight to break out.Daniel was my sole guardian here. It would be my primary goal to protect him, so if this woman caused him any harm, I would have to protect him.I stepped back again, then contin
IrinaDaniel lived in a different kind of building compared to where I lived. His house was made with blocks, not glass like mine, and it was low with a lot of lights.As we parked right outside the facade of his house, I relaxed on the couch, just staring at it. It was built like a pack house, maybe smaller. Everything here was smaller.There was a paved pathway that led to the house, just like a pack house, but what caught my attention wasn't just the huge stone-built house, but rather the vast gardens stretching down into the darkness.It was all green from where I sat.Compared to what I had seen all day, this was the true beauty. I had been stepping on concrete, and I had not seen even a single tree. I had seen fruit, and I tried tasting them. They all tasted funny. Everything here seemed funny.From right where I stood, cool air blew across my face, making my nerves relax. It was the first time it felt like home, and I didn
Sebastian Amelia was killed, and the rest of the pack were given their markings. I, on the other hand, had simply fulfilled my work as the king, but my heart was tired, and I needed rest. I needed rest for a really long time, else I might lose every sense of sanity I might have mustered in the past few hours of attending to people nonstop. The gates were finally opened, and I let the pack members come in with their sympathy and support. After disclosing that Irina was pregnant, the pack had been startled and overwhelmed by sympathy. Now they were not only mourning the death of the prince and an innocent breeder, they were mourning the life they had wanted. The pride of the North and my unborn kids. So many gifts, so many letters. I wouldn’t be able to read all of them. Even if I read one every day, it would take me my whole lifetime, and I didn’t plan to have to read them. I knew they didn’t expect a response, so I just piled them in boxes while I soaked myself in my bath, thi
Irina.The little moment between Alden, the king, and me was finally over, and it was now way past eleven. My insides still felt weird, more weird, a sore, nostalgic kind of weird."I have my car packed outside, we will sneak out now and be back by 5am, so about four hours in the club." The idea wa
Irina.Taste her?How?She stretched her hand to me, trying to put my hand beneath her thighs before Alden pulled it away."She doesn’t want to.” He pulled her head and kissed her. "I would like to have a taste." He mumbled while kissing her."I will get you a house with workers, a car, and a busin
Irina."Arg you are such a prude." Alden rolled his eyes for the hundredth time in like minutes."You are at a club Irina. Yes you kiss people.""But?""No buts, if you had kissed him nothing would happen, look at you all red and flustered, here take this." He handed me the wig then a cup of liquor
Irina.Tall with olive skin, bald headed, he stepped into the room and at first his size set me up on my feet.He was framed like the King, tall and immediately intimidating, and I would have taken him for a lycan but lycans had tribal marks and he didn't.He wasn't an Alpha wolf either, he didn't
