Irina: “What the fuck do you mean that the two of you eloped?” Alpha Cosimo growled, banging his desk. I kept my eyes on my lap, leaving his son to talk to him. Nevertheless, I knew that the man was going to have his own tow with me. But I was going to have to deal with that later. “I told you, I was more than willing to marry her. She is a beauty anyway, might as well make use of it.” He said, and I let out a warning growl. I was no slave or prostitute for him to be speaking about me in such a manner. “There was a wedding to be planned. We had to have guests…” “I wasn’t going to have a wedding without my mother’s presence, and I think that you know very well why she is not going to attend an event, no matter what it is, where you are present in.” he said, his tone growing harsh. I looked at him for a second and Cosimo drew in a breath. “Fair enough.” He said, and I watched as he turned his attention to me. “Did you constitute the marriage?” “We agreed to do it when we’re bac
Kai:“YOU DID WHAT?” Mom yelled so loud that I believed that the windows would crack.I had to force myself to look away from her, knowing that I had done something that I knew she wouldn’t like. “Mama, you refused to listen to all reason, and you refused to look at what I wanted to do, what I needed to do…”“NEED?” She asked, her eyes widening in surprise. “What the fuck do you need from a bastard like Cosimo? The man abandoned you, he neglected you, and he chose to announce you a bastard in front of everyone. You can’t seriously be thinking of defending him!” “I am not defending the man, mama. But if he is going to live without giving us what WE deserve, what YOU deserve…”“He can rot in hell with what he thinks that he can offer me.” She said, stopping me. Her heart raced against her chest and I could visibly see her chest rising and falling as she fought to catch her breath. “We don’t even know who this woman is, we don’t know what she is up to, and she is working FOR him, Kai.
Irina: “Do you want to tell me how you managed to make the rogue Alpha marry you as fast as he could?” Mom asked, shaking her head in question. “What is that supposed to mean, mother?” I asked, shaking my head in question. She looked me in the eye, studying my expression, and she smiled. “One minute you were against the fact that you were to be married. Next, you and the Alpha have spent the night here as husband and wife. I am curious as to how you have managed to do so in such short notice.” She asked again, verbalizing her question. “It is my father’s life on the line, mother. I believe that you would know me enough to know that I would do anything for him.” I said, and she scoffed. “For him? Or for the power that you can get from the rogue?” Mom asked, shaking her head in question. Her eyes studied my expression, and I shook my head. “I will choose to not discuss such a matter. I already dealt with my father's anger, and now…” “You chose to go against all traditions, you
Kai:I watched as mom had the maids unpack the things that she had them bringing in. She wasn’t speaking nor was she looking at me, and I knew that it was going to take more than just a simple apology for things to be fixed this time. I don’t think that I have ever seen her as angry with me, but I wasn’t going to go back from my decision.“What is all this for, mama?” I asked. She looked at the maids, nodding at them, silently dismissing them from the room. They all walked out without saying a word, and I shook my head in question. “The woman is coming as an Alpha’s bride. She has to look like one. As far as I understand, she is an omega…”“I am an Alpha, but I am an outcast…”“An Alpha is an Alpha whether or not you want to admit it. You seem to be going high about being that demon’s heir that you forgot that IF you are an Alpha now, it is because you earned it by blood. The number of nights that I stayed up tending to your wounds are countless, and I know that you would have fough
Irina:I looked at my reflection for a second, getting lost in my thoughts as I found myself being completely alone.In theory, I knew that I was.But when it came to such an event, it hurt me to see that no one was even bothering to help me get ready as a bride would.My bedroom door was knocked, breaking my train of thoughts as I caught the Alpha’s scent. “Come in.” I called, standing up from in front of my dresser.I turned to face him, and lowering my head to the ground, I was sure not to look him in the eye. He had done more than enough for me as it was, and I was still embarrassed of the situation that I put myself in with him.“Your husband should be here for a bit.” He said, and I nodded. “He called to inform me that he was on his way.”“I am ready,” I said, looking down at the white dress that I was wearing. It wasn’t a wedding dress, but as wolves, we didn’t wed to begin with. The dress reached my knees, and it was more of a traditional dress that symbolizes our pack. A br
Kai: “Are you okay?” I asked Irina, watching as she snapped out of her thoughts. Whatever it was that she had on her mind, I knew that she was annoyed. “I’m fine, thank you.” She said, looking down at her lap. “You said something about a ceremony…” “There is no ceremony.” I said, stopping her. Her eyes met mine and she frowned. “But I didn’t want to find myself staying back in a pack where I clearly wasn’t wanted. And if I should add, one that is clearly ready to find a reason to argue.” She didn’t say a word as she looked out the window, and I knew that she understood that she was helpless. She had nothing to say in response, but that was the last thing that I could care about. “We have a few things to discuss when we get to the Estate before you meet the family.” I said, making the woman’s eyes harden. “You lie to my family and expect to discuss matters with me when it concerns yours?” She asked, and I scoffed. I was thankful for the fact that I was the one driving, it gave t
Irina:“Thank you,” I said, keeping my eyes on the floor as I walked inside the room. Alpha Kai was holding the door for me. He didn’t say a word, but he did smile and nod.He closed the door, and I couldn’t help but frown when I saw that my things were in the room.“How…?”“The easiest part was the luggage.” He said, not bothering to wait for me to complete my question. “Settle in. I am going to go and freshen up, then the two of us can go and get something to eat.” “I thought that…”“I won’t be long.” He said, stopping me. “The suite is big. There is another bathroom for you to shower in the dressing room. You can change the dress that you’re wearing into something that would be more comfortable for you.”“Alpha, I’m sorry, I don’t understand.” I said, taking a step back. I didn’t want this to be a trap. The last thing that I needed was for him to be playing me right now.“The two of us are going to have dinner. Considering that you didn’t have a proper wedding, a nice dinner would
Kai:“Why are you working for my father anyway? Don’t get me wrong, but why doesn’t your father do it?” I asked, shaking my head in question.Irina, who was taking a sip of her coffee, put the cup down. She looked at me, studying my expression for a second, before she grabbed the fork to run over the chocolate syrup that was around the fondue.“I won’t bite, Irina.” “I can’t say that I genuinely believe that.” She said, making me chuckle.“I told you, I am not going to lay a finger on you unless you want me to. It would eventually happen, but it would be on our terms, both our terms.” I said, my voice softening as I spoke. “But you are yet to answer my question.”“My parents were thrown into a tough situation and the Alpha didn’t make it any easier for us. While I know that you might judge…”“I don’t judge without evidence, Irina.” I said, stopping her. Her eyes met mine and she shook her head.“You are one strange personality, I have to admit that much.” She said, choosing her words
