Chapter 31

Irene Yes, I hate Theodore with every fiber of my being, but there are things that I sadly can’t bring myself to hate about him. One, the way he dresses, his status, and, annoyingly enough, his face. He’s a charmer; all he needs is his aura to sweep any lady off her feet. I mean, it’s no wonder why Anna fell for him in the first place. Secondly, his house. I wasn’t interested in following him home; I only did it because of Anna. To make sure that her ankle was properly treated. And apparently, Theodore thought the best place to treat a sprained ankle was his home. Anna didn’t oppose the idea, either. Apparently, his home was like her second home, and most times she spent her weekends sleeping over at his place. I got all that information from sharing the car ride with them. It made me feel all the more guilty knowing that I kissed her man. So what was Theodore’s house like? My goodness, his house was perfect. So much that I desperately wished I could steal it for myself. Don’t get

Chapter 32

Theodore“I think I should take my leave.” Irene’s words made cold haunt my earlobes. Wait a minute, why did her words elicit this feeling? If anything, I should be happy that she’s finally going. We can’t stand each other, and it’s only a matter of time before we start bickering like children.Yet, I lost the urge to pat Anna’s hair. I stopped altogether and peered at Irene. She avoided my gaze like a plague and focused only on Anna, who immediately sat up with her knitted brows perfectly expressing her discontent.“Why?” Anna moaned, holding on to Irene’s like it was her life source. “I only came here because I wanted to make sure that you’re fine,” Irene said, giving her the sweetest smile. It wasn’t at me, but it sure did something to my heart. Whatever it was, I quickly stopped staring at her before my wolf started nurturing stupid ideas.“I’m not fine, look, my leg hasn’t healed up completely,” Anna whined like a child. “Anna,” Irene gave her a look.“I want you to stay. Pleas

Chapter 33

Chapter 33Irene One would think that after drinking several rounds of shots at the club, Anna would be averse to alcohol tonight. No. She was in fact the lead anchor of adding a bottle of alcohol to the game. The game was simple: Truth or Drink. How hard could a simple game of fun and banter be? Very hard when you have someone like Theodore in your midst. Since we sat down on the floor with the bottle of alcohol sitting in the center and throwing questions at each other, Theodore has been nothing but a grumbling party pooper. Am I surprised? Oh, no. The only thing Theodore Sterling considers fun is making people's lives miserable and breaking things. Again, it still amuses me that five years later he’s working in one of the prestigious business lines. “So Irene,” Anna beamed mischievously at me, canceling all my thoughts. “What’s the pettiest reason you’ve ever disliked someone for?” Oh? Easy peasy. “His eyes,” I replied while holding Theodore’s gaze. He was seated on the oth

Chapter 34

Chapter 34 Dylan“It’s been close to two weeks now,” Paris muttered as she ran the tip of her index finger along the edge of my desk while walking towards me at a snail's pace. I didn’t pay much attention to her. I was rather focused on marking X’s on different areas of the map. The X signified the areas that my squad and I had covered, yet there has been no sign of Irene. Almost like she doesn’t exist at all. “For all we know, she could be dead,” Paris continued. She’d finally reached beside me, breathing down on my skin while she caressed the nape of my neck. “She better not be. That wench is my ticket to being the Alpha.” I snarled. If I have to drag her down from hell or whatever, I will not think twice. “Oh, Dylan, we both know how weak Irene is. She can’t survive the outside world. Some rogues might have captured her. An Alpha could have taken her as his slave—“ My grip tightened on the marker. I nearly wrenched it, and she saw it. I don’t know which one was vexing me more

Chapter 35

Dylan“Paris? What are you doing here?” Cole raised a brow at us as he shut the door behind him. Luckily, Paris and I had quickly adjusted ourselves just in time. But the look on my brother’s face made it pretty obvious that he suspected something.“Official business.” Paris curtly replied. She was occupying one of the seats on the other side of my desk. Cole hummed. Eyes bouncing between the two of us for a moment. “Yeah, the office does smell like official business.” Fuck. Of course, his nose would pick up our scents. I should have aired the room out.Regardless, as long as he didn’t catch us in the act, nothing happened. And it stayed that way.“What do you want before my patience runs thin?” I snapped.He scoffed and pulled back the chair beside Paris to sit.“I have news for you, my big brother.” He wore that stupid smug look that has never stopped irritating me, every damn time.“Bad news, I presume.” I leaned back on my swivel.“I think you would love this one.” I scoffed.“

Chapter 36

IreneRemind me never to drink again, because tell me why I woke up to a sharp migraine plaguing my head. This is definitely not how I want to start my morning, but it is practically inevitable when you spend the night playing games and drinking to stupor. I don’t even know how I got to this ridiculously comfy bed. Probably Anna. Would she, though? The last I recall, she was drunk as well. A far worse state than I was in. Could it be Theodore then? Nahh. That bastard would rather enjoy the pleasure of watching me sleep on the cold floor. My migraine hit harder as I sat up; I had to rub my temples for a few minutes. The aching remained. My throat was dry too. Any minute longer on this bed and I might actually die of thirst before my migraine kills me.So I struggled to move one leg out of the bed and the other. My legs brushed against a fluffy wool, which prompted me to look down to find a pair of white, soft, and plush slippers beside the bed.I smiled at the cute cat face and flo
