Always an asshole

***IRENE ***The morning passed in a blur of paperwork and stolen glances at my reflection in my computer screen.Every time I saw the faint, purplish marks on my neck, a flush would creep up my cheeks. I was simultaneously mortified and… thrilled. It was a confusing, dizzying feeling.Just as the clock hit noon, my phone buzzed with a text.Lucas: I’m downstairs. The white Bentley.My stomach twisted with a fresh wave of guilt. Lunch. I’d almost forgotten. Taking a deep breath, I packed my bag, making a point to pull my hair forward over my shoulders in an attempt to cover my hickeys, and headed down.Stepping out of the revolving doors, I immediately spotted the sleek, black car idling at the curb. The back window was down, and I saw Lucas. He was wearing a soft, fluffy blue shirt that made him look boyish and kind, paired with sharp black trousers. A pair of dark sunglasses hid his eyes, but he offered me a small smile as I approached.“Hi, Lucas,” I said, my voice coming out a

Getting her a dress

***IRENE ***I sat in the car, my whole body shaking with anger. I stared out the window, refusing to look at him. How could he? How could he embarrass me like that in front of everyone and then act like I was the one in the wrong?Dante was just as furious. I could feel it. He drove too fast, swerving around other cars, his knuckles white on the steering wheel. The city streets became a blur. I didn’t know where he was taking me, and I didn’t care. I just wanted to get away from him.Finally, he slammed on the brakes, stopping in front of a building that looked more like a palace than a shop. It was a boutique, but the most luxurious one I had ever seen. The windows were huge and clean, showing off dresses that looked like they cost more than a car. For a second, I was awed by the beauty of the place.But then the anger came rushing back. Why did he bring me here? Was he feeling guilty? Was he going to buy me a dress to say sorry for his terrible behavior? Or worse… was he here to

Complicated feelings

***IRENE ***Walking out of that small dressing room was one of the most embarrassing moments of my life. I couldn't look at Clara or the salesgirls. My face was on fire. I kept my eyes glued to the floor, knowing they had heard everything—my loud moans, my cries, everything. They knew exactly what we had been doing in there.Dante, of course, acted like nothing happened. He was completely calm."Pack this for her," he told Clara, his voice cool and commanding.The woman just bowed her head. "Right away, Alpha." She and the girls moved quickly, carefully folding the beautiful green dress and placing it in a large, elegant bag.Then Clara brought a small machine for payment. “50million, Alpha.” She told Dante the price.My eyes almost popped out of my head. It was fifty million. For one dress!But Dante just took out a black card. He paid the huge amount without even blinking. He didn't look surprised or worried. It was like he was buying a cup of coffee.I gasped. "Dante! That's to

The werewolf gala

***IRENE ***Soon, it was nighttime. I had just finished a quick shower when Mrs. Calder, looking much better, knocked on my door with a bright smile.Behind her were three women carrying large cases.“The Alpha King sent them, dear,” she explained. “For the Gala.”Before I could protest, they swept into my room.Two of them were makeup artists, and the third was a hairstylist. They sat me down in front of the vanity and got to work.For what felt like forever, they worked on my face with soft brushes and gentle hands. I closed my eyes, letting them work.Just then, the hairstylist finally said, “All done, Miss Irene.”I opened my eyes and gasped.I didn’t recognize the woman in the mirror. My skin seemed to glow, and my eyes looked bigger and brighter, framed by dark, soft lashes. My hair was swept up in an elegant style with a few artful curls framing my face. It was me, but… more.“Oh, you look stunning!” one of the makeup artists gushed.“The Alpha King will be speechless,” the

Me or his daughter?

***IRENE ***I was just starting to relax, enjoying the rich chocolate cake and trying to process my conversation with Lucas, when a sound made me look up.The sharp, angry clicking of high heels was coming straight toward me.Slowly, I looked up, and my fork froze halfway to my mouth.It was Amira.Dante's daughter.My heart sank. It had been a while since I'd seen her, and the last time hadn't been pleasant. Seeing her now, with that furious look on her face, I knew trouble had found me.Amira stopped right in front of my small table, planting her hands on her hips. She didn't bother to lower her voice."Well, well, look what we have here," she announced loudly, making sure people nearby could hear. "The gold digger is trying to act classy. Does my father know you're hiding in a corner, stuffing your face?"A few people turned to look. I could feel their stares.Nevertheless, I took a deep breath, decided not to give her what she wanted, and calmly took another bite of my cake. I

Protected by the two most powerful men

***IRENE ***The silence in the grand hall was so profound I could hear the frantic beating of my own heart.All eyes were fixed on Dante, waiting for the explosion.I braced myself for his wrath, for the cold order to have me thrown out, or worse. Amira was his daughter, his blood. The logic was undeniable.But Dante didn’t look at Amira.His stormy gray eyes were locked on me. And then, he moved. He didn’t stride toward his sobbing daughter. He walked toward me.A fresh wave of shocked whispers rippled through the crowd as he stopped right in front of me.The anger was still there in the set of his jaw, but his voice, when he spoke, was low and measured, meant only for my ears, yet heard by all in the dead silence.“Irene,” he said, his gaze scanning my face, my hands. “Are you alright?”The entire room seemed to suck in a collective, disbelieving breath.My own breath hitched. Out of everything I had expected, this was not it.He reached out and gently took my hands, turning the

Lovemaking in the car

***DANTE ***The music was loud, the champagne was flowing, but my attention was on only one person.Irene.She stood beside me, a vision in that emerald dress, but I could see the slight droop in her shoulders, the tired shadow in her eyes. The confrontation with that worm, Trenton, had taken its toll, even if she was putting on a brave face.She leaned closer, her voice soft against the noise. "Dante, I'm getting tired. Can we go soon?"My protective instincts roared to life. I wanted to sweep her out of here immediately. But there was unfinished business. Business that was too ugly for her to see.*Rowan, * I mind-linked, the command sharp and clear. *The main hall. Now.*"Just a few more minutes," I told her, brushing a stray curl from her cheek. "We'll leave soon."Within moments, Rowan was at my side, bowing his head. "Dante. I’m here."I turned to Irene, taking her hand. "Go with Rowan. Wait for me in the car."A small, weary frown touched her lips. "Aren't you coming?""I w

Visit from her

***DANTE ***The first light of morning was soft and grey, painting quiet stripes across the bedsheets. I was already awake. Sleep was a luxury my mind rarely allowed, but watching Irene sleep… that was a different kind of rest.She was curled on her side, one hand tucked under her cheek, her dark hair fanned across my pillow. Her breathing was deep and even. In sleep, all her defenses were down. There was no fear, no anger, no defiant spark in her eyes. Just peace. She looked like she belonged here, in my bed, in my space. The possessive thought warmed a part of me that was usually cold.After the chaos of the Gala and the private, brutal satisfaction of dealing with Trenton, watching her sleep felt like the only true peace in the world. I let myself trace the line of her jaw with my gaze, a possessive calm settling over me.Then, a sound shattered it.A sharp, impatient knock at the bedroom door.Irene stirred, but didn’t wake. A low growl vibrated in my chest before I could sto

Forgiving her

IRENE The first thing I was aware of was warmth. Not the warmth of the sun, but the solid, reassuring heat of a body beside me. Then came the scent—sandalwood, power, and something uniquely Dante. I kept my eyes closed for a moment, savoring the feeling of safety, of being wrapped in his presence even before I was fully awake.A calloused thumb gently stroked my cheekbone. "I know you're awake, little wolf."A slow smile spread across my face, and I finally opened my eyes. He was propped up on one elbow, watching me. The morning light softened the usual hard lines of his face, and in his gray eyes, I saw something that made my heart stutter—not just desire, but a quiet, deep contentment."Good morning," I whispered, my voice still rough with sleep."Good morning," he murmured back, his voice a low rumble that vibrated through the pillow. He leaned down and captured my lips in a kiss that was slow and sweet, a world away from the desperate, claiming kisses of the night before. It was

He's here in this house

IRENE POV I stood in the middle of the living room, the air still feeling charged after Amira’s performance. The quiet felt heavy. I hadn’t forgiven her, not in my heart, and the act of pretending for Dante’s sake left a strange, hollow feeling in my stomach.Then, warmth enveloped me from behind. Strong arms circled my waist, pulling me back against a solid, familiar chest. I didn’t need to look. I knew his scent, his strength, the way he made the air crackle. Dante.He rested his chin on the top of my head. “You were perfect,” he murmured into my hair, his voice a low vibration against my back.I leaned into him, letting his presence wash away the coldness Amira left behind. “I didn’t do it for her.”“I know,” he said, his hands splaying across my stomach, holding me tight. “That’s what made it perfect. You held your power. You gave nothing away she didn’t earn. You did it for me.” He pressed a kiss to my temple. “That means more than you know.”We stood like that for a long mo
