The Cursed Alpha Mate 21
Chapter 21Irene's P.O.V I flicked my eyes open but quickly squeezed it shut because of the blinding lights that seeped through my eyelids. I tried to turn on the bed but a growl slipped out of my mouth because of the jarring pain around my neck. With my eyes squeezed shut, I trailed my hands around the spot, letting out a wince while trying to process what could have caused the pain that I felt.Slowly, all the memories from yesterday occupied my thoughts as I sat upright on the bed. My eyes fluttered open while I scrutinized the room with my eyes. "Where am I?" I muttered, looking around me in confusion.This wasn't the room that I was given! Where was I? I tried to stand up from the bed when the door swung open. A maid who I had recognized to be Lily walked towards me with a bowl of water in her hands."Lily? Where am I and what...." Before I could complete my statement, she emptied the whole contents of the bowl on my head. Goosebumps popped up on my skin as I shivered because of
The Cursed Alpha Mate 22
Chapter 22Irene's P.O.VDays turned into weeks and my life went from worse to worse. It dawned on me that Xavier abandoned me at the slave quarters. Since I have been abandoned here, I never set my eyes on him nor was I allowed to get closer to the main house.Every brand new day in the slave quarters was like torture to me. Lily and some of the maids spent most of the time picking on me and making my life a living hell.Tears were my companion every night and misery took the lead during the day. The only thing I was filled with was regrets! However, I didn't regret the fact that I ratted out Xavier to the Supreme Alpha, I regretted the fact that I had to be brought into this world only to live a life full of misfortune and hopelessness."Irene! Where's that bastard " I heard Lily scream my name on top of her lungs as I rushed towards her with my head ducked. "Ma'am" I muttered, fiddling with my fingers.I heard her exhale out loudly. She always did this if she wanted to control her
The Cursed Alpha Mate 23
Chapter 23Xavier's P.O.VWhy did my heart skip a beat? Why did my judder on seeing Irene? It has been weeks since I have set my eyes on her and seeing her again kind of opened all the bad memories that I have locked in the furthermost corners of my heart."Kourtney, I would be right back" I said to Kourtney who attempted to follow me but I stopped her from doing so. While walking up the stairs, different thoughts clouded my mind. What was she doing here and most importantly, why did she have scars marred on her face? Her face was pale with her left eye swollen. Her lips were cracked and with every syllable that fell out her mouth, my eyes were focused on her cracked lips. I knew that Irene deserves all the worst things in the world but who had the effrontery and audacity to do that to her?She ducked while locking eyes with him."I wanted to pick a pen and a paper because I didn't want to disturb you, the clothes" She swallowed, her bottom lip shaking as if she was trying to refrain
The Cursed Alpha Mate 24
Chapter 24Irene's P.O.V I heaved a sigh, arranging the Persian royal plates into the cupboard. Strands of hair fell on my face but I didn't care either. Was I bothered about it? The sound of people trooping down the stairs that led to the kitchen jolted me out of my thoughts. I raised my head, looking towards the direction the noise emanated from. Lily and some maid walked into the kitchen with a whip in her hands, searching her eyes around as if she was looking for someone. Her gaze fell upon me and I could see the horror in her eyes, I ebbed to the wall as she came closer to me."You fucking slut! How dare you report me to my master?" She clutched the whip, swinging it in the air. I swallowed the lump that formed in my throat, trying to say something but I was at a loss for words to say. "You finally had a chance to be with your husband who abandoned you just a day after your marriage and you had the guts to report me to him? Uh," She raised the long whip.I knew that if I didn't

Chapter 25Xavier's P.O.VI tapped my feet anxiously on the ground, glancing at the huge wall clock hanging on the wall. "What could be taking them so long?" I muttered under my breath when a call jolted me out of my thoughts. I reached my hand for my phone, staring at the name that popped up on my screen. It was Kourtney."Hey Xavi, how are you?" I heard her say as soon as I picked up the call. "I am fine, of course. How are you as well?" I asked, not taking my eyes off the wall clock. I had sent Damian to fetch Irene so that she could get dressed up before we go to the event but they weren't here yet."I just wanted to ask about your well-being and you know I heard that......"Before she could finish her statement, I cut in. "I thought we met yesterday? Why are you asking again? Are you sure that you are really fine?" I asked, obviously getting annoyed with the fact that she was asking too many questions. "My mind kind of strayed towards you and I....."I cut in again. "Kourtney, I

Chapter 26Xavier's P.O.VI glanced towards the direction where I heard the clicking sound of heels that came back as echoes in my ear. My mouth was agape, I was at a loss for words to say. She was fiddling with her fingers again and suddenly stood frozen on a spot when she caught sight of me.Her black obsidian hair tumbled over her shoulders with her lips glossed and appealing. Her eyes shone like stars were gathered inside and for a second, I couldn't believe that I was admiring this brat. I jerked myself back to reality, staring daggers at her. "Damian, please don't tell me that this is what you spent hours doing?"Damian took a step down the stairs, staring at her face before glancing at me."I think that she looks beautiful, she looks breathtaking." I scowled, scrunching my face in total disgust. "She looks more like an ogre," I taunted."I disagree, she is dashing. You should look more like this often" Damian complimented while I watched her mouth "Thank you." I rolled my eyes a

Chapter 27 Irene's P.O.V The ride to the event was eerily quiet. The only thing Xavier did was stare out the window and heave multiple sighs. For the first time in my life, I saw a shocking side of Xavier, when he hugged me, I could see the fear in his eyes and it made me wonder what could cause the almighty Xavier to look so shaken. "Hmmm" I cleared my throat in a bid to gather his attention. He kept his gaze fixed on the outside of the car and when I thought he was lost in his thoughts, he took me by surprise. "What are you trying to ask?"I bit the inside of my mouth, shifting uncomfortably in my seat. "I wanted to ask about the event. I feel like you should give me a head up about what to expect and not expect. " He turned to look at me with his chin resting on the back of his palm. "Haven't I told you about the event? I thought I told you earlier?""No, you didn't. You only kept reminding me about how the event was important to you, that was all" I said, taking a glance at hi
The Cursed Alpha Mate 28
Chapter 28 Xavier's P.O.V Gracious lord! She went from always fiddling with her fingers all the time to her fingers trembling. She almost gnawed on it but I grabbed her hands before she could attempt that. "Why are anxiety and fear always evident on your face? Why are you even scared when I told you that I would be here standing by your side? You wouldn't even need to say a word except for some words and if you are asked difficult questions by the guests, I would always intercept for you before you start spilling trash,""And mind you, the Supreme Alpha would be present because he's one of the major shareholders in Axon. He pulled out his shares in my company, thanks to you" I said sarcastically and watched as she swallowed. I placed my hands on her's. "I will always be here with you, you can trust me. Nothing bad is going to happen" A wavering smile formed on her face as some men dressed in black suits, ran towards the direction of our car. I could see the fear in her eyes as she
