Irina’s POV
I was too confused to move. Nothing was making sense. The bright streetlights flickered in my eyes as I followed Damien across the dark grounds to the hospital. A trail of blood left from my mother as he carried her. A dagger stuck out of her chest.
Everything is a blur. I couldn’t get things straight in my head. I had gone downstairs to grab a glass of water and mom was just lying there, unmoving. I had heard nothing, not a single sound to alert me that something was wrong.
I vaguely remember throwing my body on top of hers. My tshirt soaking up some of her blood as it pooled around her. Damien appeared from nowhere, almost like he knew I needed him. He had to shout at me, but his words still sounded hazy.
As I sit here in the hospital, I find my
Damien’s POV She was going to leave the pack! It made sense why Irina was saving money but I couldn’t let her leave the pack, I couldn’t let her leave me. Maybe if she got her revenge she would stay and we could be together. “Then kill her first” It was a risky suggestion, the words were out of my mouth before I had come up with a plan. I wouldn’t let Irina do it alone. It would give Irina the ultimate revenge. It would mean I could be with my mate. It would mean that she could stay. It would mean that the traitor is dead. Her eyes are wide as she stares at me, her mouth open in shock. “You… you… you want me to kill her?” I nod my head slightly. “Look what she did to your mom, look what she has done to you” “You want me to kill her?” I think she may still be in shock as she repeats her question I grab her hand “For this” I grab her hips and lift the tshirt a little showing the scar on her hip “For this”. My own anger was building inside of me as I realised how much my fian
Irina’s POV I couldn’t believe what he asked me to do. I didn’t have that kind of strength or guts to kill anyone. He was serious as he looked at me and as I held my mom’s hand and keep replaying our conversation over and over. My mom didn’t stir, her fingers didn’t even wrap around my hand as I squeezed hers. At some point the doctor appeared to check on my mom. He advised me to go home and get some rest. I tried to plead with him to let me stay but he was adamant. Before I leave, I make the doctor promise me that he will call me if there is any changes. Until I was eighteen I had to rely on phone calls, only my mom and the Alpha could mind link me. He agrees and ushers me out the door. I walk across the empty grounds. Damien’s scent is all over me from his tshirt a
Damien’s POV She does not answer me, her honey eyes wide as she stares at me, her jaw dropping. I could smell her arousal as she looks into my eyes, her body tenses up as she clamps her legs together. I had never wanted someone as much as I wanted her. “Say it Irina” I could feel it, she wanted me just as much I hear her heart speed up as I inch closer to her, her breathing becomes heavier, and she suddenly throws herself against me. Irina stands on her tiptoes to kiss me. She presses her lips against mine with passion and so much desire, something I had never felt before. The sparks between us were intense. Her body curves into mine as I hold her, my hands resting against her lower back. She was a perfect fit for me and only me.
Irina’s POV Why was I so stupid? Why did I kiss him? It was like my body moved on its own, like something propelled me forward. His breath was minty, the kiss felt natural, but the strangest thing was, feeling connected to him in a way that I never had with anyone before. As I sit down I hide the scars on my legs, another mistake that I had made years ago. Though this time I don’t ask him to leave. I was torn between knowing that we shouldn’t be together and yet I wanted to be with him. As Damien sits opposite me I try to control my urges. He was growing on me in a way that I never expected but I just knew that we could not be together. Once again I find myself staring into his deep green eyes, they are like the colour of waves in the sea after a storm. They were tru
Damien's POVIs this why my father had been keeping her identity a secret, to stop the Blood pack coming for her?.He didn’t tell me much more other than to try and push my feelings aside for Irina. It annoyed me because there was clearly a reason why they were doing it but I know longer cared. I would protect Irina and my father will see Vivian for what she really is at the ceremony.As I watch Irina move with the dagger in such a fluid movement, I was amazed. She would definitely make a skilled fighter but again I didn’t understand why she had not stood up to Vivian.When I ask Irina what else she is not telling me, she shrugs her shoulders, but something told me there was a lot more to find out. It didn't matter, I liked the mystery surroundi
Irina’s POV I cannot believe I agreed to it. I agreed to killing Vivian! Damien was ecstatic that I accepted, and he couldn’t stop smiling. My stomach on the other hand was tied up in knots. The more I thought about actually killing Vivian the more I felt sick. Damien suddenly hugs me “We can finally be together” I didn’t have the heart to tell him that I was still going to leave the pack even if I managed to kill her. He tells me that he wants me to wear the cloak to the ceremony as it will be easier to hide the dagger. I nod my head but honestly I was not paying much attention. I was trying to stop myself from throwing up. “Ir
Damien’s POV “It is time son” My father looks on at me proudly as I frown at myself in the mirror. I hated suits, they were so uncomfortable but apparently it was routine and tradition. I stare at myself and grimace, the only other time I would wear a suit would be at my wedding, other than that I preferred jeans or joggers. “It suits you son” He adjusts my tie and brushes away any lint that sat on my shoulders. “Nervous?” he questions and I shake my head I wasn’t nervous about becoming Alpha, I had been waiting for this day for most of my life. What I was nervous about was Irina and if she would be able to pull off the kill. “Vivian will be right by your side” I nod “Father, I have a surprise for you at the ceremony” He looks surprised “For me?” “Yes, I hope you will be happy” The moment he finds out what Vivian was doing to Irina; he will probably want to kill her himself. Make her a symbol for what she has done. At the same time, it will warn the other packs that we do n
Irina’s POV How dare she, after everything she has done to me, how dare she call my mom a waste of space! The anger was rising inside of me as I stood opposite her, but somehow, I still felt powerless whenever she was around. She had been bullying me for so long I just didn’t know if I could do it. I didn’t know if I could go through with killing Vivian! She throws punch after punch to my face. The pain was horrendous, as she hits me again. My thoughts drift to my mom and how she is lying in a hospital bed right now, fighting for her life. She had taught me everything, she had prepared me for moments like this. She had taught me to defend myself. I’m not sure what comes over me, I manage to pull the dagger from inside my cloak and as she attacks me, I plunge the dagg
