IRENE'S POVI was drenched in cold sweat immediately but even under his watchful eyes, I took a deep breath and relaxed my shoulders."Yes, my dear?" I answered in a sweet and calm tone. I didn't miss the way Karson recoiled in a bit of shock. He seemed to be having trouble deciding how to react but his fists were clenched by his side."I miss you too. Yes, I'll be back soon. I only stepped out for a little while," I said into the phone, reducing the volume to the barest minimum. I couldn't take my eyes off Karson. Not just because he was naked- it was still strange staring at him in all his glory. He looked ready to go again- I lifted my eyes to his own immediately even as my face flushed. I didn't want to be caught leering."Make sure you get enough rest, okay? Okay, good night," Fuck! I lost my train of thought. Where was I? Yes! It wasn't just because he was naked, no. It was the way he stared at me or rather, the way he glared at me and at my phone. Was he pissed at the call I wa
IRENE'S POVI fell back on the bed with a hand draped over my face while I pressed my phone closer to my ear. The ringing sound of the call was cut short and Nanny May's groggy voice came through."Oh! I'm so sorry!" I quickly apologized. She sounded like I had just pulled her out of a very deep sleep. "I didn't realise you had gone to bed already.""No, it's fine, Irene. I only just went to bed. I tucked the kids in thirty minutes ago," she said, sounding much better than earlier."Well, they just called me that’s why I thought you'd still be awake-""What!' I jerked the phone away at her shocked tone. "I could've sworn they were already asleep. I mean I checked up on them like ten minutes ago and they were sound asleep.""It's alright. They do that sometimes," even after tucking them in for the night, Karin would wander to my room and pull a prank by yanking the sheets off me. She was overly energetic most times."I'll go check up on them again," she suggested. "I was also going to
IRENE'S POVI could feel his gaze on me the minute I stepped into the conference room. There were many Alpha's and Beta's around so how he still managed to find me with his eyes made me wonder if he had been waiting for me for a while now.I took the leisure of looking around the room and when my eyes landed on him, I could swear my heart skipped a beat. Maybe I was just startled that our gaze met but even with that, I had to admit that Karson in a suit was freaking hot.The look on his face was hesitant that I glanced at his feet, hoping it wouldn't move. After what happened last night, I didn't think I was ready to talk to him.As if the woods sex wasn't enough, I dreamt about it all night. His hands, his lips were touching and caressing me everywhere. I felt like a pervert just standing here.I quirked my head when his feet moved and I saw he was still looking in my direction.The room was suddenly too stuffy for me and I felt I would choke on those penetrating eyes. I looked aroun
IRENE'S POVWith their attention turned towards something more interesting, the conference decided to take the time to investigate the rogue. Alpha Lucas was silent all through but he gave his permission in the end.I guessed the reason for his silence was that he too wanted to get to the bottom of this. It was just strange to see him this deep in thoughts."We'll work together. We'll divide into a few teams and get on with the investigation.''"Alpha's are allowed to pick their team members and they are also in charge,''That was no new information. None of the Alpha's here would actually let someone of a lower rank lead them. I moved closer to Alpha Lucas, it wasn't a debate that I was part of his team but the stare that Karson threw my way was enough to make me halt.Surely he wasn't thinking of putting me under him, right? He wasn't supposed to want me that much, right? What the hell was he planning this time? I couldn't catch a break around him. Why wouldn't he just take his eyes
IRENE'S POVI led Alpha Lucas out of the bar and while he walked majestically beside me, putting up a tough front before the others, I knew he was really drunk. I still had my hand on his wrist, carefully pulling him along."Where are you parked?" That question was directed to myself more than him. I didn't think he would be any sober to help right now-Surprisingly, he pointed to a spot and dug out his keys. With sloppy eyes that closed every second, he handed them over and sighed. I could only imagine the hangover by morning. He drank three months worth of beer, even his wolf wouldn't help him out of this."Thanks," I took the keys and I noticed his car where he directed me. First things first, I put him in the backseat and made sure to fasten the belt. I didn't want him throwing up all over the seats if there was a slight bump on the road.I got into the driver's seat and I started the car. I drove out of the bar and shifted the rearview mirror, checking up on Alpha Lucas in the ba
KARSON'S POVShe walked out. She ignored me and she walked out while latching onto that man. I squeezed my fist by my side, holding myself from storming after her.I was sober now thanks to that. Even after drinking over twenty bottles of beer, Irene's attitude and fierce eyes were enough to slam me back to my senses.When did she start to talk back to me? Up until the time she left, whenever she stared at my face, I could smell her arousal in the air. She would blush silly and I knew if I dared to touch her, she would melt under my hands.She was always eager for my touch and yearning for it. What happened to that obedient girl and who was that woman who glared at me without an atom of affection on her face?She proved resolute in her decision to pick Alpha Lucas over me but what did she see in him? Did she suddenly have a thing for older men or was five years too long to let her feelings for me die?It felt as if almost yesterday, she was brought into my house and introduced as my a
KARSON'S POVNo, this wasn't Irene. The scent was different, even the touch. Whoever it was, she grinding her waist against my crotch that had already hardened due to the mistaken identity. I groaned in tight response as she continued humping over me. Her lips were hot against my neck as she peppered me with kisses, sucking on every spot till there was a mark.Her hands fumbled with the buttons on my shirt as she unbuttoned them at a fast pace that I could barely keep up with. She grabbed my hand and guided it to her soft mound on her chest."Karson," her moan in my ear was what I needed to snap out of it.With the little strength I had left, I pushed her to the other side of the car where she belonged. It was only a little strength yet she was sent flying till her back hit the door and her head bumped against the window.She groaned in pain as she stared at me with tears in her eyes in awe of my actions. Her face was clearer now. How could I have mistaken her for my woman- I mean, I
IRENE'S POVMy eyes had grown heavy and staying awake was impossible. I had succumbed to the darkness that pulled me into its cold grip.I jerked awake with wide eyes, panting as I looked around. For the first few seconds everything looked foreign to me. I could hear noises beside me and I flinched when I felt someone touch my arm.It was a woman and the panic on her face made me frown. Wasn’t she the enemy? Her mouth moved in a rush but her words were inaudible."…just calm down, Irene," I was starting to hear her little by little. "It's alright. You're back at the hotel now and Alpha Lucas brought you in." she said in a calming and soothing tone, trying to get me to lower my guard."Alpha Lucas," I repeated. The last time I saw him was when he charged at the rogues and chased them into the forest."Yes, Alpha Lucas," she said. "He's alright. He's right outside. Please calm down,"I heaved a shuddering breath as I started to cool off. I lifted my hand to my face-"D-Don't do that, Ir
