And we have a new adventure ahead of us. What do you think of the beginning of this new story?
Irina:“Thank you,” I said, keeping my eyes on the floor as I walked inside the room. Alpha Kai was holding the door for me. He didn’t say a word, but he did smile and nod.He closed the door, and I couldn’t help but frown when I saw that my things were in the room.“How…?”“The easiest part was the luggage.” He said, not bothering to wait for me to complete my question. “Settle in. I am going to go and freshen up, then the two of us can go and get something to eat.” “I thought that…”“I won’t be long.” He said, stopping me. “The suite is big. There is another bathroom for you to shower in the dressing room. You can change the dress that you’re wearing into something that would be more comfortable for you.”“Alpha, I’m sorry, I don’t understand.” I said, taking a step back. I didn’t want this to be a trap. The last thing that I needed was for him to be playing me right now.“The two of us are going to have dinner. Considering that you didn’t have a proper wedding, a nice dinner would
Kai:“Why are you working for my father anyway? Don’t get me wrong, but why doesn’t your father do it?” I asked, shaking my head in question.Irina, who was taking a sip of her coffee, put the cup down. She looked at me, studying my expression for a second, before she grabbed the fork to run over the chocolate syrup that was around the fondue.“I won’t bite, Irina.” “I can’t say that I genuinely believe that.” She said, making me chuckle.“I told you, I am not going to lay a finger on you unless you want me to. It would eventually happen, but it would be on our terms, both our terms.” I said, my voice softening as I spoke. “But you are yet to answer my question.”“My parents were thrown into a tough situation and the Alpha didn’t make it any easier for us. While I know that you might judge…”“I don’t judge without evidence, Irina.” I said, stopping her. Her eyes met mine and she shook her head.“You are one strange personality, I have to admit that much.” She said, choosing her words
Irina: We entered the room, and I couldn’t help but find myself sighing in contentment that the day didn’t turn out as disastrous as I thought that it would. My heart ached after what happened with my parents, but I knew not to comment on it. They would eventually understand what I was going on about, and they wouldn’t be looking at me as an enemy. At least, I hoped not. “You take the bed, I’ll take the couch.” Alpha Kai said, breaking my train of thoughts as he entered the room. I turned to face him and I could tell that he understood that I was slightly shocked by his statement. “You should be the one to take the bed. You are the Alpha.” I said, looking down at my feet. It was how things were within our pack. An omega was always the one to take the floor while those of higher ranks took what they wanted. That is, of course, unless allowed otherwise. “You are my wife, and my Luna, Irina…” “Then we are to share a bed,” I said, stopping him. It wasn’t like it was the first time
Kai:I woke up a while before Irina did, and choosing to get up from bed, I walked toward the bathroom to freshen up. I had to admit, I was curious about the nightmare that she had, but I knew better than to ask. Having been woken up by my wolf because of it, I was more than a little curious about the reason behind his connection with her. It was one that I didn’t understand. However, I knew to respect her. She wouldn’t want to relive it, and I didn’t want her to think or fear an interrogation over something that she had nothing to do with. I walked out after getting dressed to find that Irina was sitting on the bed, curled up as she was yesterday. She looked up at me and when our eyes met, she went back to looking at her feet.“Are you okay?” I asked, my voice softening. She looked away from me for a second before she nodded. “Your father called me while you were showering. It’s the reason that I woke up.” She said, and I frowned. She nodded at my phone, which was ringing. “I tol
Irina:“What is this place?” I asked, frowning in confusion when I saw that the Alpha was taking me to a forest.“This, Irina, is part of my territory.” He said, putting a hand on my lower back, pushing me forward. “A Luna should normally know where her Alpha’s, especially her husband’s, territory is. With things escalating the way that they did, you didn’t get that. I figured to try and make things right when it came to that situation.” “I see,” I said, and he smiled. “You shift here?”“No, we shift within the Estate. We are free to later run and roam around. As long as we don’t find ourselves getting in trouble with the other wolves who live in the same forests; that shouldn’t be a major problem.” Kai said, and I nodded. “You are going to be shifting with us this month.”“I know,” I said, looking down at my feet. “I don’t know how my wolf is going to react though.”“One of the reasons why we are familiarizing ourselves to one another first. Then we’ll see about the pack members. Sh
Kai: “I take it that you’ve never been on a real date? I guess, unless it was Cosimo who assigned it?” I asked, and Irina laughed. “I am not that naïve, nor am I that type of anti-relationship.” She said, and I smirked, shaking my head in question as I waited for her to explain what she was referring to. “I did have a lover before. He was my best friend before the two of us chose to date, but then things happened, and he cheated. I figured back then that I didn’t want to be with anyone, well, then I met Cosimo.” “I see,” I said, and she smiled. “What about you? An arranged marriage for an Alpha?” She asked, shaking her head in question. “Don’t get me wrong, but surely you would have had other plans. And there would be a thousand other girls who would want to be with you. Why did you choose to accept the agreement?” “While the theory of a thousand girls wanting to be with the Alpha is a common one, it is not entirely true.” I said, and she frowned in confusion. “It was my choice
Irina:I had to fight back the instinct to flinch when the man approached me. He wrapped his hand around my arm, pulling me back, forcing me to remind myself that we were in the presence of humans. Growling was not going to be the smartest thing for me to do right now.“Do you really believe that I am going to fall for this bullshit attitude? Or is this your way of trying to run away while acting all innocent?” He asked, and I pulled my arm away from him. Thankfully, he didn’t press any harder, had he done so, the two of us would have had a different problem.“You are going to leave me alone and if you really are doubting me, then you can speak to your…”“I am speaking to you. As far as I know, he sent you to me, and I am not foolish enough to believe that you didn’t come for something that benefits you, especially not after you were told off by your own parents…”“What are you? Seriously? One minute you’re kind and understanding because I don’t have a family behind me and now you’re
Kai: “I am no wife of a liar like yourself.” Irina said, glaring at me once Viktor took his leave. I stayed quiet for a second, keeping my eyes on hers before I took my shirt off. She frowned in confusion, but I turned around, and I could hear her faint gasp as she saw the scars that will forever be the reminder of why I couldn’t accept a traitor within my pack. “To save her life, I got these.” I said, my tone calm. “She lied to me, she was sent by my father to get information. The she got information, she used against me, and to punish me, to save my mother’s life, I was whipped for days and nights. My mother was forced to watch because I wanted to protect her from…” I stopped when I felt her hand running on my skin, her fingers were gentle as she pulled them away. “She found her mate, it was one of the reasons why she chose to turn against me. She wanted me to stop following her.” “Another reason for you to shut yourself,” she said, finishing my sentence. I nodded, taking a dee
