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
Irina: We entered the room, and I couldn’t help but find myself sighing in contentment that the day didn’t turn out as disastrous as I thought that it would. My heart ached after what happened with my parents, but I knew not to comment on it. They would eventually understand what I was going on about, and they wouldn’t be looking at me as an enemy. At least, I hoped not. “You take the bed, I’ll take the couch.” Alpha Kai said, breaking my train of thoughts as he entered the room. I turned to face him and I could tell that he understood that I was slightly shocked by his statement. “You should be the one to take the bed. You are the Alpha.” I said, looking down at my feet. It was how things were within our pack. An omega was always the one to take the floor while those of higher ranks took what they wanted. That is, of course, unless allowed otherwise. “You are my wife, and my Luna, Irina…” “Then we are to share a bed,” I said, stopping him. It wasn’t like it was the first time
Kai:I woke up a while before Irina did, and choosing to get up from bed, I walked toward the bathroom to freshen up. I had to admit, I was curious about the nightmare that she had, but I knew better than to ask. Having been woken up by my wolf because of it, I was more than a little curious about the reason behind his connection with her. It was one that I didn’t understand. However, I knew to respect her. She wouldn’t want to relive it, and I didn’t want her to think or fear an interrogation over something that she had nothing to do with. I walked out after getting dressed to find that Irina was sitting on the bed, curled up as she was yesterday. She looked up at me and when our eyes met, she went back to looking at her feet.“Are you okay?” I asked, my voice softening. She looked away from me for a second before she nodded. “Your father called me while you were showering. It’s the reason that I woke up.” She said, and I frowned. She nodded at my phone, which was ringing. “I tol
Irina:“What is this place?” I asked, frowning in confusion when I saw that the Alpha was taking me to a forest.“This, Irina, is part of my territory.” He said, putting a hand on my lower back, pushing me forward. “A Luna should normally know where her Alpha’s, especially her husband’s, territory is. With things escalating the way that they did, you didn’t get that. I figured to try and make things right when it came to that situation.” “I see,” I said, and he smiled. “You shift here?”“No, we shift within the Estate. We are free to later run and roam around. As long as we don’t find ourselves getting in trouble with the other wolves who live in the same forests; that shouldn’t be a major problem.” Kai said, and I nodded. “You are going to be shifting with us this month.”“I know,” I said, looking down at my feet. “I don’t know how my wolf is going to react though.”“One of the reasons why we are familiarizing ourselves to one another first. Then we’ll see about the pack members. Sh
