Chapter Five
Irene's P.O.V
With the way my back hit the wall and with the way he dragged me inside the room, something cut deep into my flesh and I had no idea about what it was but all I knew was that I felt a jarring pain on my leg and I was bleeding really bad.
I heard some incoherent words outside the door but the only word that I could grasp was 'dinner party.' Whatever they were talking about wasn't my business nor was I interested in them.
The only thing I was bothered about was how I got here!
From what I could recollect last, I ran away from home by climbing through the fence, finding myself deep in the forest then I heard a growling sound that sent goosebumps all over my skin.
When I walked backwards, I hit my back against something hard! Suddenly, his eyes that glimmered beneath the moonlight flashed through my head.
Wait a second, wasn't he the same man who pushed me inside now? Slowly, his words last night began to flash through my head.
He asked why I was running from me and he addressed me as his soon to be wife.
Suddenly, it dawned on me that I was in the house of the man that was the reason why I ran away from home.
My heartbeat pounded in my ear with my heart thudding hard in my chest. My hands shook, with my chest growing tight as if bile rose in my throat.
I had a panic attack!
It was suffocating, every breath that I took made it seemed like it was about to choke me. I couldn't spend another second in this damned house, I just couldn't!
I trudged to the window, panting hard as I stared down. Some people were outside, cleaning the compound, their clothing was looking so tattered that I almost puked.
All of a sudden, sounds of gunshots that tore through space, outside the compound further increased my panic attack as I threw up right on the wall. Everybody outside scrambled for the closet cover and scampered for safety.
I stood still again when I heard a growl coming from the outside, it was like the same growl that I heard yesterday. What was this place?
I peeked through the drapes serving as cover for the windows and I could swear that I saw a wolf now but it wasn't a normal wolf's size. It was twenty times larger than a normal wolf's size!
"Xavier! Come out, you bastard! Make sure you bring your mate along so that I can finish you off at once" I heard someone thunder down the stairs!
"You want to take what doesn't belong to you! Let's end it here right now! No one can become the supreme Alpha except me!"
Supreme Alpha? What did he mean by supreme Alpha?
I couldn't believe that my father was trying to get married to such a dangerous man. How could he even borrow money from someone as dangerous as this.
"If you love yourself, come out before I kill you. If I find anyone inside, I would be killing them straight up"
Out of fear,I opened the door and walked down the stairs with my head lowered down. I guessed that he would spare me since I wasn't Xavier's mate. It must be the lady he was having sex with, the man downstairs must mean his sex mate.
I raised my hand above my head, walking to where the man was standing. He was surrounded by some people whose faces were devoid of emotion.
I knelt down on my own, with my head lowered so that he would spare me and spare my life. He could kill Xavier for all I care, all that mattered to me was for me to escape this place alive and unscathed.
"And who are you?" I heard him say.
"I-I am....." Before I could complete my statement, I heard his voice up the stairs and it sent cold shivers down my spine.
"Who do I owe this pleasant visit to, Liam?" His voice was eerily calm.
"Trying to play games uh? Just bring your mate here so that we can end this silly game here. I am going to kill you for coveting what belongs to me"
Xavier laughed hysterically and said "What do you mean dear cousin? My mate is before you, are you blind can't you see her"
I turned to look around me to check who Xavier was referring too, the Kourtney lady wasn't there so who was he talking about? As I was looking around me, my eyes caught the man called Liam whose eyes darkened as he shot dead stares at me.
I was starting to realize that I was the one Liam called his mate!
"Seize her!" Liam roared.
"If you dare lay a finger on her, I would show you the reason why the moon goddess placed a curse on me" Xavier said.
I was taken aback for a second! He defended me? Or was I not hearing right? And, who was the moon goddess that placed a curse on him?
"Really? I love dares" Liam smirked, approaching me.
He jerked me up by using my hair while I let out a soft whimper "This is just me carrying out my dare"
A growl that shook the mansion was heard, Xavier squeezed his eyes shut and when he flicked his eyes open, his eyes were pitch black! Extremely darkened!
He stood rigid on the stairs as his knees reversed direction and the cracking sound of bones was heard. Dark fur sprouted from his body as his face changed shape and the wolf's muzzle extended out in front of him. The clothes he had on tore as the size of his body increased.
His eyes that were darkened flickered from black to red.
My eyes widened and it looked like it would almost bulge out!
The man my parents were getting me married to without my consent was a werewolf!
He started running towards me, the more he ran, the more my heartbeat increased rapidly. I was trying to free myself from the grasp of the man who tightened his grip around my hair.
My eyesight was beginning to blur, it was totally blurred. The more I looked on in shock, the more it looked like the beast charging towards me was coming to rip my heart open.
Slowly, my knees weakened as I crumbled down on the floor.
I had fainted!
Chapter 6Xavier's P.O.V The warriors of Liam's pack all transformed into werewolves as they charged toward me, trying to protect their master before I could attack him. The sound of bones cracking filled the air and their howls and growls filled the room as they encircled me with Liam standing behind them still in his human form, his upper lip curled over his sharp incisors. "Enjoy the show, Xavier" I already connected with my pack members for them to stay alert outside the house and they must be in their wolf form. Someone needed to teach Liam a lesson and that was what I planned on doing today! He surely brought himself inside Lion's den and today, I would make him experience what happens to people who cross their territory. The werewolves charged toward me, gripping me on the back while I lifted one in the air, throwing him on the ones standing before me as they let out a howl. I connected with my beta, for him to come to take Irene out of this place before she gets injure
Chapter 7Xavier's P.O.V I called for an urgent meeting and I was very sure that all the Alphas were already at Supreme Alpha Conan's house. I stylishly sent words to Supreme Alpha Conan to inform him about what his son did and how he almost killed my mate and me.Emphasizing my mate, I exaggerated a lot of things all in a bid to make sure that Liam would be given the punishment that he deserves. Supreme Alpha Conan wasn't going to spare Liam one bit so I had to make sure that Supreme Alpha Conan wouldn't have a reason to have mercy or pity on Liam. I left my Beta, Damian, outside the pack house, giving him strict instructions on not letting them escape because when Liam launched his attack, his Beta, Scott, wasn't there. I didn't want to take any chances with Liam because there was a high possibility that Liam might have connected with Scott through the mind link. I sauntered into the pack house, running my hands through my hair while making sure that it was well tousled. I
Chapter 8Irene's P.O.V I kept turning and tossing on my bed, I had a nightmare that sent chills to my bone as my eyes fluttered open with fore beads of sweat on my forehead. I scrutinized the room with my eyes, placing a hand on my head as I felt a sharp pain in my head.My sight was blurred as I leaned against the headboard of the bed, trying to process where I was. Slowly, all the memories came rushing into my head and most especially, how the man who was forcefully getting married to me turned out to be a werewolf. From what I could recollect, this wasn't the room I was in earlier. Could it be that the men who came to attack Xavier, killed him already and decided to take me with them? I hoped that was the case because I couldn't just wrap my head around the werewolf stuff and how my father could force me into a marriage with a werewolf.The most important thing was Xavier was dead already and if those people spared my life and brought me here, it could only mean one thing! And i
Chapter NineXavier's P.O.V I couldn't describe the anger that I felt on seeing Irene still wearing the same clothes she had on before she left. I heard Irene throwing a fit up the stairs, screaming and crying for them to leave her alone. Sounds of broken glasses echoed around the house but that wasn't my business, my gaze was fixed on the wall clock. It was two minutes remaining and if Irene wasn't out before the time lapsed, then trouble would surely ensue. Sitting at the slave quarters was something that the servants found surprising because whenever they locked eyes with me, they stood still, quivering with their heads ducked down until I dispersed them off. "Leave me alone! I don't want to get married " Irene screamed out her lungs as she was dragged out by some servants.The mascara on her face was smeared by the tears that streamed down her face. She was a total mess with her disheveled hair. "I tried to do my best by dressing her well but she ruined it herself. I am sorry,
Chapter TenIrene's P.O.VThe word "Wife" kept ringing in my head as I brushed through my hair. The maids trooped in with luxurious shopping bags while standing behind me as they watched me brush through my hair while smothering it with oil. "Please leave" I muttered, almost bawling my eyes before them, for them to just leave me alone. It was just a day after my forced marriage and I felt suffocated already. I doubted that I would be able to last a week in this darned house. Everybody suffocated me, most especially the maids who always ensured that I was okay.A lot of women would have loved to be in my shoes as long as they enjoyed the princess treatment but I could swear that I would never get used to this life! The more they surrounded me, the more it felt like I was in an enclosed space, struggling to gasp for air. Lily walked towards me with her head ducked down, she knelt, bowing her head while I rolled my eyes because I couldn't count the number of times that I had warned
Chapter 11Xavier's P.O.V My hope was that Irene doesn't mess things up for me. I was finally a step away from achieving my dreams, Liam was already kicked out and the ball was now in Irene's court.When I saw how she quivered and lowered her head in fear, I shook my head in nothing but sheer pity for her. I focused my gaze on the clock and averted it back to Irene whose head was still ducked down as she fiddled with her fingers. "Irene, I am not trying to hurt you or anything but if you listen to my instructions, I would treat you well"She bobbed her head nervously as she squirmed in her seat. Now, she was beginning to annoy me because with the way she was all aquiver, it made me wonder if this was how she would act when we got to the Supreme Alpha's house. "Irene, are you even listening to what I am saying?" I glared at her as we made eye contact while she suddenly lowered her head."Y-Yes" She stuttered, pursing her lips. I swept my hair backward as I heaved out an exaspera
Chapter 12Irene's P.O.V When I noticed the way Xavier squeezed his eyes shut as he glanced at me. I knew that trouble was definitely brewing in a corner. "You are lucky that I didn't come to drag you!" He hissed as he got into the car while I followed after. We drove outside of the woods as different thoughts ran through my head. As much as I hated Xavier for how much he had ruined my life, I found myself repeating the exact words he told me to say when we got to the supreme Alpha's house. "I am the daughter of the Northern Cape Alpha. I am a werewolf" I muttered under my breath.The mere thought of me being a werewolf irked me. I couldn't actually believe that I was actually obeying Xavier but maybe it was for the best. Because, who knows if the Supreme Alpha was more dangerous and cruel than Xavier.The annoying thing was that I didn't even know the meaning of their ranks! I tilted my head slightly as I turned to look at Xavier who stared out the window. "Mr Xavier....." He
Chapter 13Irene's P.O.V I caught sight of a tall mansion that stood in the middle of oak trees at a distance. "That must be the supreme Alpha's house" I thought inwardly as I felt my stomach tie a knot. I wasn't only anxious but I was scared as I began to fiddle with my fingers again. Xavier seemed to have noticed my distress as he placed his hands on mine assuring me that everything would be fine. "Irene, you don't have to be scared. Just follow my instructions and everyone would live happily ever after "His warm smile suddenly turned to a smirk. "I am sure you know the consequences of your action if you disobey me" He patted me on the hand. I wanted to retort to his words. I wanted to scream out loud and cry because of the effect he had on me. How dare he? How dare he threaten me when he snatched my life away from me! All my dreams and aspirations were gone because I was forcefully married to a beast.I didn't know where I suddenly got the courage to speak but I found myself b
