Damien's POV Is this why my father had been keeping her identity a secret, to stop the Blood pack coming for her?.He didn’t tell me much more other than to try and push my feelings aside for Irina. It annoyed me because there was clearly a reason why they were doing it but I know longer cared. I would protect Irina and my father will see Vivian for what she really is at the ceremony.As I watch Irina move with the dagger in such a fluid movement, I was amazed. She would definitely make a skilled fighter but again I didn’t understand why she had not stood up to Vivian.When I ask Irina what else she is not telling me, she shrugs her shoulders, but something told me there was a lot more to find out. It didn't matter, I liked the mystery surroundi

Damien’s POV “It is time son” My father looks on at me proudly as I frown at myself in the mirror. I hated suits, they were so uncomfortable but apparently it was routine and tradition. I stare at myself and grimace, the only other time I would wear a suit would be at my wedding, other than that I preferred jeans or joggers. “It suits you son” He adjusts my tie and brushes away any lint that sat on my shoulders. “Nervous?” he questions and I shake my head I wasn’t nervous about becoming Alpha, I had been waiting for this day for most of my life. What I was nervous about was Irina and if she would be able to pull off the kill. “Vivian will be right by your side” I nod “Father, I have a surprise for you at the ceremony” He looks surprised “For me?” “Yes, I hope you will be happy” The moment he finds out what Vivian was doing to Irina; he will probably want to kill her himself. Make her a symbol for what she has done. At the same time, it will warn the other packs that we do n

Irina’s POVIt was Shaun lifting me from the ground. He doesn’t look at me and instead looks around.I try to thank him, but I think my jaw is broken as it hurts to try and speak.He carries me to the hospital and the doctor groans when he sees me. Surely I wasn’t that bad.I hear Shaun introduce himself and tell the doctor that he was pretty sure I wasn’t old enough to have a wolf yet.Raine! She had gone quiet, if she was there at all. I must have imagined her in all the commotion. I wasn’t eighteen yet!The doctor carefully checks me out and gets some x-rays. He tells Shaun not only is my jaw broken but my eye socket is fractured too

Irina’s POV “Are you sure I can come to your pack?” I was still trying to decide if it was the right thing to do and whether or not I could trust Shaun?! Shaun nods his head at me. “My Alpha has agreed, if you would like to speak to him I can go get him” “No need, I am right here” The tall man made me jump, he was a little scary looking with the big scar over his face and the strange pointy ears that I had never seen on a wolf before. He smiles at me, even his teeth were pointy. “I apologise if I appear a monster” “Uh…n…no” I stutter trying to get my words out, but he really was quite frightful looking. “Shaun has informed me th

Irina’s POV“I’m not mated yet”. It was hard to speak, my whole body was trembling, it even felt like my eyes were shaking.“You’re not marked?” Shaun’s eyes were wide“No”“Do you know who your mate is? Have you met him?”I shake my head; I couldn’t tell him. What if they took me back, what if they won’t let me join their pack??“What’s happening to me Shaun?”He was holding my hands, trying to stop me from scratching myself, but I wanted to do more than scratch myself, it was like I wanted to punish myself for feeling this way.
