Irina’s POV “He is hotttt!!!” Rosy makes herself comfy on the bed, pulling a cushion on her lap and hugging it “Huh?” “That guy that kept staring at you, let me guess, that’s the guy my brother is pissed at” “Damien. Yeah he is my mate” I groan “Okay, that makes sense why you tried to kiss him but you are supposed to be with my brother and why was he being so weird?” “No Rosy, my da….my old Alpha promised me to Ivan but the Moon Goddess has mated me to Damien. You think Damien was being weird too?” "Well yes, he didnt even let you kiss him. That's not normal if he is your mate" "Why

Irina’s POV “I know it is a lot to take in, but it is something we have been doing…..” “For centuries, I know, but those women, you are just going to kill them!” “Sacrifice Irina, sacrifice. They know exactly what is coming and they know that they have completed their job well” “What happens to them? “As long they put up no resistance, they will be reincarnated as a wolf” It was so much to take in, even Rosy is sat wide eyed next to me, staring at he plate of food as she listens to us. “Do you have too?” “Oh yes, the last time I was convinced not to go through with it, I lost your m

Irina’s POVThe niggling feeling that had been gnawing away at me since my arrival was starting to fall into place. The warnings the woman had given me, and Damien. The way Alpha Ketill conducted his pack. Something just hadn’t felt right for some time, but this thing with them not being able to hear the screams, well it was just the icing on the cake.What Gunnar hadn’t seen was the Doctor slipping me some ear defenders and as he starts walking in front of me, I pop them in. They only made a little difference but a little was enough.The women who were to become slaves were still screaming, the pitch so high that even with the ear defenders it was still making my ears hurt and I was fighting against my own eyes that were threatening to water.Arriving

Irina’s POV The women hid us in their cars. As they explained their plan, I asked them if the shopping trip was a way for them to escape, then why hadn’t they all done it? But one of the women told me it wasn’t as simple for them because they were mated. Not marked, but their husbands had forced themselves on them. In the same way Ivan had tried with me, but thankfully he didn’t get a chance to go through with it. When they sneak Rosy in the car, my dagger falls out from her jumper. She gives me a weak smile because she was still struggling to speak and I scoop the dagger up before anyone sees. I felt horrificly bad for Rosy. Not only had the screaming ruptured her ear drums but it had affected a lot of other things including her ability to speak properly. The Docto

Irina’s POV Maybe I had underestimated what Alpha Ketill would do and it just didn’t seem likely that he would come to Ivan’s pack, it was why I never wanted to discuss it, plus it would just add to the nightmares that I was already experiencing. Ivan lets go of me and I feel something inside me drop. It was odd, sort of like I had enjoyed and welcomed Ivan’s roughness in that moment. “Come” he pulls me from the wall and leads me outside “There is no point hiding you” “Am I shifting?” I ask, a little worried and strangely, a little excited “No. We will most likely be outnumbered. I have already sent Shaun to Damien and I have called in my neighbouring packs, but it will rely on them getting here quickly.” “When did you do that?” I was surprised, I had been with Ivan a lot in the last couple of days. “It doesn’t matter. Alpha Ketill will be here at any moment” Ivan stands next to me outside and when I look up to his eyes
