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 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

Chapter 15Irene's P.O.V One thing I couldn't believe was that the Supreme Alpha was cruel and ruthless. Slowly, it dawned on me that Xavier might have tried to paint a bad image of him because he wanted me to do his biddings.The Supreme Alpha melted my heart when he told me that I could address him as my father. "Father?" I repeated as he gave a nod and took me by the hands. "You can see me as your father, I know you have one but you don't know how happy I am to see you. You are like a light that came to brighten up the darkest corners" He squeezed me gently on the hand and the next thing I knew was that tears were beginning to form in my eyes."Why are you crying? Did I say something wrong?" He asked with a feeling of concern on his face. "No, you didn't, father" I said as he pressed his lips against the back of my palm."From the way you talk, I have seen that you are a very good person and I want you to know that Xavier is a very good person as well. He might have had his dark

Chapter 17Xavier's P.O.V"Have you seen my wife anywhere?" I asked the men who sat around the table. "No," They all said as my eyebrows puckered while biting the corner of my lips as I ran my hands through my hair frustratedly. "Where in the world is she at?" I muttered.I connected with my Beta, Damian, through the mind link asking him if he had seen Irene. "Damian, have you seen Irene? Did she step out of the mansion because I can't find her anywhere""No, Alpha Xavier. I didn't even catch a glimpse of her""Then if you didn't catch a glimpse of her, how did she disappear without a trace? It's not like she has supernatural powers that would cause her to appear and disappear. I need you to find that brat for me before the Supreme Alpha comes down the stairs""Yes, Alpha Xavier ""The important thing is that you should do it discreetly. Do not arouse suspicions about Irene missing, I would also try to search for her inside the house” I cut the mind link off as his gaze landed on Shaw

Chapter 19Irene's P.O.VMy heart thudded hard in my chest as a sly smile creased his lips. "You don't want to give me your life ?" He shook his head slowly, brushing his hands through my lips as I shuddered in a breath. "I don't owe my life to you, I am not indebted to you. Please let me go peacefully, if you don't let me go, I will report you to the Supreme Alpha and tell him about how you disobeyed his orders of me being set free " I warned sternly even though I was full of fear because of his intimidating presence.As soon as I was done talking. Xavier bursted into hysterical laughter, throwing me into confusion. He took my hand in his, staring at it before fixing his gaze on me. "Do you think that reporting me to the Supreme Alpha would have any effect on me? No darling. Instead, you just endangered your life and the life of your parents and I am sure you know that I am going to fulfill all my promises”"W-What do you mean by that" I stuttered as he squeezed me gently on the hand
