Chapter: A new friend IRIS POV I scrubbed and swept different floors for what felt like eternity, my arm ached and my knees throbbed from kneeling on the cold stone for too long. The rough bristles of the brush had designed raw patches on my palms, and the water in the bucket had turned a murky from all the dirt I had pulled out of the cracks. I didn't know how many hours had passed. Time moved differently here—slower, heavier, like wading through mud. I wiped the sweat dripping from the corner of my face, and the smell hit me making my stomach twist. I smelled lie sweat, filth and despair. My once beautiful birthday dress was now torn, stained and clinging to my skin. Ugh! So irritating! The head maid had come earlier, her beady eyes scanning my work with cruel satisfaction. if she saw that I finished a job early, she would keep giving me more chores until my body gave out. So I slowed down, dragging the brush across the stones in lazy circles. It didn't matter. She still found more for me to

Chapter: The Life Seeking LetterRYKER POV“These are the trails of what we found,” Derek, my beta said leading towards the damaged pack house of the winter pack.Fire had burned everything to an unrecognizable ruin. The air reeked of death and the metallic scent of blood mixed with the sickening smell of charred flesh. Winter Pack members' bodies lay bloodstained on each other, their lifeless eyes wide opened horrifically.My jaw clenched.“How did this happen?”“After we left, we had reach the border and saw black smoke trailing from the pack, we rushed back but it was too late, everyone had already been slaughtered, including the two guards you left behind and Alpha Gideon had burnt to ash.”“The letter?”The silence that followed was deafening, save for the eerie whistle of the wind through the scorched ruins. Derek bowed immediately, his shoulders trembling slightly under the weight of my gaze.“I'm sorry Alpha, it was gone before we arrived here.”My eyes darkened, a cold, predatory anger flooding my veins. I

Chapter: HumiliatedIRIS POV“Wake that lazy wolf!” A loud woman's voice jolted me awake. My heart leapt in my throat, I quickly stood up from the cold floor and crouched to my knee, watching helplessly as the cell door rattled open with a deafening screech.Three women in black and white uniform stepped in, the one leading them was older, her face looking stern. Her gaze drifted to the tray of food I left untouched before focusing back on me.Her lips curved into a cruel mocking smile and she waved a finger at the two maids.“Drag her out!”My eyes widened in fear. Was the Alpha trying to mate me now?The thought made bile rise in my throat.“Wait—” I tried to protest but the maids weren't listening. They unfastened the chains that held my hands and cornered me like a predator, dragging me up to my feet.“Let me go!” I screamed, my bare feet scraping against the rough floor as they hauled me out of the cell.“Where are you taking me?” I asked continuously but got no answer. Other maids and guards outs

Chapter: Locked upIRIS POVMy eyes fluttered open, greeted by a heavy, suffocating darkness that didn't feel like home. The first thing I felt was a cold, brutal weight sinking into my skin—a thick, black iron chain was locked tightly around my neck. I tried to lift my head, but the heavy links rattled against the floor, pinning me down like an animal.The ground beneath me wasn't the soft, plush carpet of my bedroom; it was covered in rough sand and sharp, jagged stones. I was in a dungeon.The faint, silvery moonlight filtered through a tiny window high above, illuminating the damp stone walls just enough for me to see the horror of my reality.Two large guards stood like statues right outside the iron bars of the cage I was locked in. They didn't look at me, but their powerful, oppressive Alphas' scents filled the enclosed space, reminding me exactly where I belonged now.My body ached intensely from head to toe. The shape of the small, sharp stones I had been lying on for hours had pressed deep p

Chapter: The Perfect revengeRYKER POV"What do we do with the girl, Alpha?" one of my men asked, bowing his head respectfully.I stopped walking and turned back to look at the unconscious girl. She was draped weakly across the back of my horse, her long hair tangled and pale against the dark leather.A cruel smirk spread across my face as I stared at her. You look so peaceful right now, little wolf. Enjoy it while it lasts."Throw her in the dungeon," I commanded, my voice cold and unyielding.The guard bowed immediately and barked orders at two other men. They lifted her limp body from the horse, dragging her toward the dark, damp stairs of the castle's lowest levels.I watched them carry her away, my chest tightening with a familiar, burning rage. I had intended to kill Alpha Gideon Winter from the very moment I stepped into his territory.We had hated each other for years, always staying far away from each other's borders to avoid bloodshed. We had a silent agreement to never cross paths, and it worked until

Chapter: Taken by the devilIRIS POVHis hands slowly released me, causing me to stumble backward.Smack!A brutal punch landed squarely on my father's face. The force of the blow cracked through the quiet room, and dark crimson blood immediately began to drip from his nose, pooling over his mouth."No!" I screamed, my voice cracking as I tried to rush to his side. Before I could take a single step, two pairs of strong, heavy hands grabbed my shoulders from behind and violently yanked me back.The psychopath let out another dark, chilling laugh. Completely ignoring my father's obvious agony, he reached down and gripped his collar, pulling him upward.My father groaned, his head moving involuntarily as his body grew weaker by the second."How dare you say that, Gideon!" Ryker roared, his eyes flashing with a terrifying, vengeful fury. "Lola also had an unborn child inside her, but you didn't spare her! So tell me, why should I spare your daughter when you brutally killed mine?""Leave him alone! Just leave him a
