All Chapters of Initiated by my Alpha Stepbrother's Mark: Chapter 141 - Chapter 150

Kaireen's PovThe wedding celebration was supposed to be perfect, all white silk and crystal chandeliers and hundreds of guests dressed in their finest clothes celebrating the union between Alpha Ronan Thornwell and Selene, but instead the tension in the main hall was so thick I could barely breathe through it.The Ironwood Pack mansion had been transformed into something out of a dream, massive floral arrangements of white roses and lilies positioned at every corner, and a string quartet playing soft music in the corner that nobody was really listening to because everyone was too busy whispering about what had just happened at the altar.I stood near one of the tall windows wearing a dress I had thrown on this morning, deep emerald green silk that fell to my ankles with a slit up one thigh and thin straps across my shoulders, my hair pulled back in a simple twist, and I was trying very hard not to look at the chaos unfolding in the center of the room.Because Ronan had refused to mar

Kaireen's Pov"She said she's leaving," Ronan continued, and he was standing now, his hands braced on the table, his eyes fully gold. "So let her leave. Anyone who tries to stop her answers to me."The silence that fell was absolute, everyone staring at the drama unfolding in front of them, and I could feel my face burning with humiliation and anger and hurt as I walked through the crowd toward the exit, my green silk dress swishing around my ankles, my heels clicking against the marble floor.Nobody tried to stop me.I made it out of the hall and into the corridor, then through the main entrance and out into the gardens where the cool evening air hit my face and I could finally breathe, and I kept walking, kept putting distance between myself and that disaster of a reception until I reached the path that led to the medical building.The clinic was quiet and empty when I pushed through the doors, most of the staff having been given the day off to attend the wedding, and I made my way

Ronan's Pov"Ronan," she gasped when I kissed down her sternum. "We can't, someone might hear.""Then you'll have to be quiet," I said, and I could hear the roughness in my own voice, my wolf pushing at me to claim her properly, to mark her, to make it impossible for anyone else to ever touch her.My hands found the zipper at the back of her dress and pulled it down slowly, and the green silk pooled around her waist, and she was perfect, absolutely perfect, her skin flushed and her eyes dark with need and her scent filling my lungs.I kissed her again, deep and possessive, one hand tangling in her hair and the other sliding down her body, and when I touched her through the thin lace of her underwear she made a sound that nearly undid me, her hips lifting toward my hand."Please," she whimpered, and hearing her beg, hearing the need in her voice, made something primal take over.I pushed the fabric aside and touched her properly, finding her wet and ready, and she gasped and grabbed on

Kaireen's Pov"What?" I managed to say, my voice coming out small and shocked."You heard me," she said, and there was no sympathy in her expression. "You're being relieved of your duties effective immediately. This is Dr. Wayne," she gestured toward the door and a man stepped into view, tall and middle-aged with greying hair and a professional demeanor, wearing a white coat identical to mine. "He'll be taking over all pack clinic activities from this point forward.""You can't do this," I said, and my voice was shaking. "I'm the one who built this clinic, who trained the staff, who saved Rhia's life two days ago when she was poisoned with werewolf venom. You can't just fire me and replace me like I'm nothing.""I can and I am," Celeste said coldly. "You're not officially pack anymore, Kaireen. You were disowned by Alpha Caspian, which means you have no standing here, no authority, no claim to this position. We only allowed you to continue working here out of courtes

Kaireen's Pov I had barely managed to hold my position here in this pack after being disowned, had fought tooth and nail to prove myself as a competent doctor, had poured my heart and soul into building this clinic from nothing, and she wanted to take it all away from me just because I was an inconvenience to her political plans. I could overlook a lot of things, could forgive the years of neglect and the way they had treated my wolf like it was worthless, could even understand why Caspian had disowned me when I refused to marry the alpha he had chosen, but this? This I was not going to overlook. I walked across the pack grounds toward the main house, my feet carrying me faster and faster until I was almost running, and by the time I reached Ronan's office I did not even think about knocking, just slammed the door open and barged inside. Ronan was sitting behind his massive oak d
