Chapter 274

• Irene’s POV
• I haven’t been in my feelings for a long time. I had tried to push back on any thought that I might have ever since I took up the task of regaining the freedom of my pack members. Through the hard times and deadly situations, I remain committed. Which is why it hurts so much that the same people I am breaking my back for couldn't even give me the benefit of doubt before turning against me.
• What if there aren’t people willing to defend my loyalty? They would have handed me over to Lexie on a platter of gold. She would have us right where she wants us to be. Even though this was a plot, it doesn’t make it any less painful. How could they be so quick to judge me? A lone tear rolled down my face. I wiped it off quickly.
