Married
Last Updated:
2025-03-20 05:56:04The room was filled with guests of different calibres. Everyone had rushed at the chance to finally get a good look at the beast lycan. The thought of it humoured me.
I stood in a corner with a champagne glass observing it all. I started to grow weary so I decided to leave the main party for a while.
I made my way out of the sprawling mansion and into the gardens. I'd barely moved when I felt a hand grab onto me. I turned around, startled and my eyes locked on his.
The man who had caused me so much pain.
“Iris, it's you…” His voice voice softer, more tender than I remembered. It my chest ache for some reason.
It had been months since I last saw Jacob, the last time I'd set my eyes on him, he'd humiliated me and rejected me as his mate. Seeing him again brought back a rush of old feelings which I thought I'd buried.
“Jacob… W-what are you doing here?”
“I had to come see you, after I found out your father married you off and to such a beast of a man, I couldn't stop thinking about you… this was my only chance to see you again”
His words surprised me, the ingenuity and the way he looked into my eyes. I wished he'd looked at me that way months ago; then, perhaps I wouldn't be here.
“I… I don't understand what you mean Jacob, why would you care about me because you made it crystal clear that you don't actually”
He let go of me as he ran his hands through his hair, seemingly exasperated.
“I know Iris, I know, I messed up. What I did to you was awful… but rejecting you as my mate was the worst decision I've ever made”
I felt a tug in my chest, my heartbeat quickened as he spoke.
“I want you back Iris, please come back with me”
“It's too late for that, Jacob. You rejected me and humiliated me in front of everyone… I can't go back to a pack that related me so cruelly” I tried to sound firm but my heart was breaking.
The man I'd loved finally felt the same way about me but I couldn't… I just couldn't… not anymore.
“And how does he treat you?” Jacob questioned as I turned to leave, stopping me in my tracks.
I knew he was referring to the beast Lycan. He was the man my father had married me off to and he had an awful reputation.
“That doesn't matter… he's my husband. I'm a married woman, Jacob, so leave me alone”
“Does he hurt you?” Jacob held me again as he stared into my eyes, searching for something… an answer… the truth but he didn't deserve to know.
“Jacob, leave me alone,” I said with a tone of finality as I shook him off and walked back into the party.
The bright lights made my vision feel hazy and weak as I stumbled through the guests.
I could hear Jacob calling after me but I chose to ignore him.
He couldn't just change his mind as he pleased and expect that I'd be willing to jump into his open arms.
Jacob soon grabbed onto me and I froze… No, not in front of everyone, not when he'd be able to see me.
“Jacob… l-let go of me. Everyone's here”
“I don't care, all I care about is you. Just hear me out, Iris”
I tried to rip his hand off me but it didn't work. He pulled me in closer to me, and he whispered in my ear; his warm breath on my neck sent involuntary chills throughout my body. For a moment, I forgot where we were.
“I know I hurt you, Iris, and for that, I am so very sorry. But since you left, you have no idea how I've pined for you each and every single minute of every day. I couldn't stop thinking about you… Come back with me, give me a chance to make things right”
Jacob was the stable beautiful life I'd always dreamed of… but that was all it was. Dreams… I'd come to face the real world and it was the opposite.
“I'm married”
“Do you love him?”
I looked up at Jacob, his question catching me off guard.
“If you tell me right now that you love him and you're happy with him, I'll leave. I promise you”
Did I love my husband?
I didn't have an answer to that question yet.
I was about to speak again when I heard everyone in the crowd go silent. I didn't even have to look to know he had entered the room.
His aura was so powerful and intense, I felt it in every breath I took. I couldn't let him see me with Jacob.
“Jacob, Jacob… you have to let me go now” I whispered sharply.
“Answer me first”
I looked towards him as he approached us, his cold blue eyes had already locked on me the moment he entered. I let out a sigh, anticipating what was to come.
“Unhand my wife” His voice came out like a low growl as he came up behind me and wrapped his hand around my waist.
Jacob looked up at him, an unreadable expression on his face.
“We were just talking”
“And I'm here now, so leave”
Jacob stared at me longingly for a second longer and I felt my husband pulling me on even closer. He was jealous, I knew that for a fact. And I also knew he would do something crazy because of it.
He guided me through the crowd to the staircase which served as a podium. I stood beside him as he addressed the crowd, all the while, Jacobs's words replayed in my head.
“And now… I introduce to you all, my mate” I heard him say as he wrapped his arms around my waist. I looked around at all the people staring at me and I began to feel uncomfortable. In the midst of the crowd, my eyes locked on Jacobs.
My husband pulled me closer with a strange look in his eyes
“W-what are you doing?”
“I'm marking what is mine”
Before I could say another word, he sunk his teeth on my neck as a loud moan escaped my throat.
The suddenness of his action weakened me and he held onto me like I was but a doll. Out of the corner of my eyes, I saw Jacob walking out and I couldn't help but think about the moments which had led up to this…

“I am now Alpha of Moonstone and you shall submit to me” Those were the words my father had dreaded the most when the war began, losing and having to bow to another Alpha. His fear had been manifest. I just prayed my father's pride would not get him killed.He looked around at his pack and at me and my mother, his family before he closed his eyes in resignation and bowed to Alpha Jacob, our new Alpha. “Good. From today henceforth, I relinquish you of your duties as Alpha and I shall take over this pack, uniting it with mine” The members of Alpha Jacob's pack and even some of ours cheered.

I cried myself to sleep on that bridge. It wasn't until morning came that I got up and made my way back home. As I passed, I stopped by the Alpha's office. I knew I should've kept going. He didn't want me, and there was nothing I could do to change that, but I felt like I had to try at least one more time.The office door was already opened and I entered. What I saw made my chest boil. Jacob was seated on his chair and there was a girl there straddling him, with her hands locked in his hair. She was the daughter of our old Beta.But why did she have her hands on my mate?! “Jacob!” He saw me in the doorway, and his expression changed. “You know what? I was wrong about you. I shouldn't even have bothered” My voice was weak and cracked from all my crying. I stormed out of the office, and Jacob followed me. “Iris, Iris wait” “No! Because I had this image in my head of who I thought you were but you're the exact opposite. You reject me and you have another woman in your hands a few ho

I ran like I'd never run before. It didn't matter that I had a small bag of things with me. I was running for my life. Rouges did unspeakable things to other wolves. I didn't want to be a victim. I felt them hot on my tail and I knew they enjoyed hunting me down. “We just want to play… don't run, birdie”, I heard them yell from behind me. I didn't look back; I just kept going, and soon, I made it out of the forest and reached the roads. But it was early in the morning and the roads were deserted. “Nowhere to run”, I heard the dreaded voices of the rogues behind me. I couldn't even shift to escape them because I didn't have a wolf, a reality that hit me harder now when I most needed it.They shifted into their wolf forms, and it was scary to watch their big forms approaching me with blood-red eyes and gnarly teeth. I started to run along the road again, hoping, praying for something to happen as they stalked slowly behind me. Just then, I saw the headlights of a car and it stoppe

Iris's POV“I’ll show you why they call me the beast Lycan.” His deep, cold voice resonated.I could see fear flash in my father's eyes as he gritted his teeth and stared at me with hate-filled eyes.Lucian still held my father's hand, and from the expression on his face, he was in pain. The sound of bones cracking filled the place, and my father screeched in pain.“Argggh!” He yelped as he staggered.Mum rushed out of the house with worry in her eyes. She stared in confusion at the scene before her.“You hit my future wife with those hands. Today, I’ll make sure you don't get to use them for a long time.” He said, his voice dripping with malicious intent.I watched as he walked towards my father, noting how long his legs were.“Azariel,” Lucian called out, and I wondered who he was referring to.Someone stepped out of the frontseat of the car; his driver. He gave off an eerie vibe, as a strong aura surrounded him. Half of his face was covered with his hair. He had cold, silvery eyes

Iris's POVI gulped at his words, he didn't look like he was joking. My gaze locked with Jacob’s for a split second, and I tore my eyes away immediately. I didn't want to think of him anymore. The more I did, the more pain I felt. His words kept playing in my head, “By the moon goddess, I reject you, Iris Greywell, as my mate.”My eyes shut tightly as I tried to push those memories aside. Lucian gently placed me in the car and covered my shoulders.There was silence as the car moved. I was leaving home and getting married soon to someone who wasn't my mate. This was something I never expected nor wished for.All my life, I had prayed to get my own wolf and a mate who would love me. Well, I had gotten the mate, but alongside it came another package: rejection.I couldn't help but chuckle at how pathetic my life was. I would also soon end up missing and dead, like all his wives. Thinking of this, I subtly looked at Lucian. He laid on the seat, with his hands on his forehead; he was pro

Lucian’s POVI sat with my eyes closed, with no thought in mind except for the little woman who sat next to me. I could see her giving me subtle glances, thinking I was asleep.Earlier, I had massaged her forehead but she ruined the moment with her questions. Right from when we met, I knew there was more to her than what others saw.She shifted uncomfortably on the seat, I could tell she had more questions to ask as her green eyes were filled with curiosity. Obviously, I knew the question she had in mind: my missing wives.Different rumours had spread far and wide about my wives that had gone missing, but I didn't care what was said about me. But one thing was sure: she was mine to protect.Weeks back when her father had offered her to me, I thought nothing of it. But after seeing her during the rogue attack, I couldn't explain the sudden urge to protect her.I was blinded by rage when I saw the scars inflicted on her by her father.

Iris’s POVI couldn't look at Lucian after what I had just done.“Shit.” I cursed silently.I remembered the feel of his chest under my palms and bit my lips hard to stop such thoughts from intruding.“We have arrived.” I heard him say.Azariel got down and unlocked the car. Stepping outside, I was wowed by the mansion that stood before me but I put on a neutral expression.I had never seen anyone like it. It was built in an ancient style unlike the common modern buildings I was used to seeing. The mansion looked like it was from another era, with its grand arched windows and their stained design which, cast colorful patterns on the surrounding area.The entrance door stood strong and firm, with its intricate designs of wolves and other mythical creatures.I was so engrossed in admiring the building that I didn't even notice when a man walked by. He looked to be in his late forties. He spoke with Lucian before walking towards me.“Milady, I'm elder Damon. It's a pleasure to meet the

Iris's POV “Don't be too shocked.” He chuckled.“How did you know?” I asked, shifting back such that we were inches apart.“Well…that's a story for another day. For now, just rest.” He said, patting my head like I was a kid, and for some reason, I couldn't tell him to stop.“See you later…Iris.” He drawled, smiling with his eyes twinkling.I returned the smile and stood in front of the door till his figure faded. Sighing, I pushed open the door and took a look at the room. It was stunning, as expected. A king-sized bed lay in the middle with pink fluffy pillows and blankets. The wall of the room was painted pink, even the wardrobe was pink. I wasn't much of a pink girl, so it irked me.I walked towards the wardrobe and opened it, I sucked in my breath. In it were both royal and modern dresses, all made by designers. I opened another part of the wardrobe, which was filled with different bags, and another contained jewelry and other necessities.“What the hell I’m I going to use all t

Iris's POV The shadow idiots laid in the bed with a wide grin in his faces. At this moment, the temptation to punch it off further increased.After much contemplation, I decided to open the door. I'd shield the door with my body so Rhea wouldn't look in, then I'd leave the room with her. When I get back, I'll give the idiots a nice piece of my mind before sending him away.I took a deep breath, throwing Darius one last look before heading towards the door. I raised my hands to the door handle and slowly unlocked it, making sure my body covered the space. I looked forward, but instead of Rhea, it was a man and a familiar scent hit my nose. It was a combination of earth, and mint. Then I slowly looked up to meet a pair of familiar icy blue eyes that I had somehow gotten used to."Lucian." I whispered as my heart skipped several beats.What the hell was he doing here?Wasn't he supposed to be in his study, at work or somewhere?"Work? It's evening girl." That nosy voice whispered.I sc

Lucian's POV I sighed, finding Kaiza was looking like a Herculean task. I wondered if it was something Baran would be able to do. I left Zurich's body and didn't bother to clear it.We left the shack and drove off, back to the mansion. It was evening already, and everywhere was very calm. I passed through the garden, expecting to see the musketeers but they weren't there as well.I had to see Gaius, to warn him not to play such stunts with Iris like he did the last time. Ivan had once reported that while Iris and her maids were in the garden having lunch, a dagger had been thrown at her.Plus the musketeers were also in the garden that same time, having their usual picnic. Although Ivan didn't mention names, it was clear he also knew who it was from his tone.It obviously wasn't Ivana, she hadn't really seen and interacted with Iris. Neither was it Michael, all that he loved were food, drinks and fun. Which leaves only Gaius, it was definitely him.He must have sense that Iris was wo

Lucian's POV "Tell me Lucian. How many days does your new prey have before she gets missing? Days? Weeks? Months? Years? What would it be?" Zurich, Mica's brother said as he walked around us in the shack, running his sword on the walls."Who knows." I voiced in reply."It seems you don't have time for jokes today Lucian. Then let's get down to business. Where is Mica?" He asked as his eyes flashed red."I don't want to believe that she's dead, like the rest of your other wives. Tell me where she is and if she's alive, I might spare you. But if she isn't, you know the answer." He said."Okay. What would happen if she's maybe half alive, with her body parts butchered and mutilated? What a beautiful sight." I taunted, enjoying the look of rage on his face."You're doing this to piss me off right? I know she isn't dead." He smiled, but he gripped his sword harshly."Well...hope is a good thing. And Azariel here agrees with me right?" Azariel only glared at me in response."You are cunni
BRIDE OF THE BEAST LYCAN KING Guardian
Iris's POV My eyes slowly opened, adjusting to the dimness of the room. I rose up and stretched my hands towards the curtain, opening it. It was evening already, and everywhere was turning dark.I stood up from my bed, and walked towards the switch, turning on the lights. I was not a fan of darkness or dark places, even during the night, I slept with the lights on. Not that I was scared of the dark, but I just preferred the lights on.But wait a minute, have how did I get here?I remembered I was at the garden with Samantha, Eloise and Rhea. We were painting, then the next moment we were training. And then we started talking and things started to go wrong. I recalled us talking about Lucian, and I suddenly felt overwhelmed and a panging headache.I also recalled walking out of the garden and heading towards my room. But I didn't remember opening the door myself, something gripped me before I collapsed.My eyes widened, it was the shadow. I remembered the feeling of its shadowy hands
BRIDE OF THE BEAST LYCAN KING Mica's Assassin
Lucian's POV It was a wonder how the news was just getting to the council now, especially as it was a very crucial one involving the lives of little girls.This was further shedding light on the fact that someone from the council had a hand in all these."I've just been receiving reports lately on the missing girls." The head council began, "Report has it that they are being snatched away by unknown people. Their locations are being looked into.""We need to find a way to curb this. First it was the Wellington massacre, and I heard little girls were the main target. This would mean that there's someone else behind the scene who wants to use these girls for something we do not know of." He said as he balanced his glasses, peering at the seated men."I'll need the alphas to enforce able guards in every section of their packs. The council will also be doing its part as we would be dispatching various detectives, investigators, and hunters to solve the issue at hand." He continued."If a

Iris's POV My heart skipped several times, as I read the message again."I see you, your friend from the prison."The only prison I had ever been to, was the one Lucian put me in at the time I tried to escape. The memories of that night came flooding in. From how I sat in the eerie prison, to the shadowy presence and my cry for help. And how Lucian came to my rescue before I blacked out.What does it want from me? I gulped as I darted my eyes about in the garden. The place was calm, and it was like something didn't happen."What's wrong Iris? What does the letter say?" Rhea asked as she stretched her head to take a peek."Urggh. I can't see it." She groaned before snatching the letter and going through the contents."So you have another friend now that we have no idea of, eh?" She queried with her brows raised.Eloise and Samantha also threw me questioning gazes."And when did you go to prison?" Samantha asked, looking puzzled.Oh, scratch that. I didn't even tell them about what ha
BRIDE OF THE BEAST LYCAN KING Council Interest
Iris's POV After the incident earlier, in which Ariel had taken us to the black market to get information from the top wrestler. I was with Samantha and Eloise, and we were painting in the garden. Rhea would join us later.I had been trying my best to avoid seeing Lucian these days after that incident between us. "Your painting is beautiful, milady," Samantha uttered with a smile."Don't flatter me, it isn't all that." I chuckled as I splashed paint on the drawing like I had seen on those YouTube videos.Before I would die of boredom, I decided to paint. Some days back, I had thought of asking Lucian if I could go out, but with the way things were between us now, I didn't think I had the balls to do that.My mind went to the council, and I developed an instant love for it. I loved the building and the way the people were dressed. I have done research, and one can apply to the council. Then there would be physical, oral and written exams. Being a council member sounded more fun than
BRIDE OF THE BEAST LYCAN KING The Attack
Lucian's POV The sound of fire hissing could be heard as it devoured the car. Meanwhile, Azariel and I watched from a nearby tree. Raj groaned occasionally as he was laid on a tree branch."Who do you think did this?" Azariel asked, rubbing his chin."I smell Nikolai and his master's doing.""But why do I feel that Konstantin has a hand in this? Maybe he somehow caught a hint that we were looking for, and launched this attack." Azariel brought another theory.There was no way it could be Konstantin. Maybe if his location was somewhere else, then he might be a suspect. But since his location was at Mount Averaj, their family house; then it wasn't him.The moment the fire started, Azariel quickly teleported to the car's boot and vanished with Raj, and I did the same. That was how I landed on this tree.We camouflage with trees, so that in case the attacker decito reveal his or herself, they wouldn't see us. Minutes passed by, and yet no sign of anybody."The person is probably waiting
BRIDE OF THE BEAST LYCAN KING Special One
Lucian’s POV“They are back.” Ivan informed me as I trained.I hummed in response, and continued training. Dodging the bullets that came my way. There were several programmed machines, whose aim was to shoot out bullets. I was dodging each and every one of them without using my powers. I had quick reflexes, so I didn't find them quite hard. I imagined a situation whereby my powers were taken away from me, and I could only chuckle.Ariel had mentioned earlier that he was going to watch a fight at the black market. I knew Ariel too well to know that he got bored of those fights. So, he definitely had other intentions. He revealed that Vonn Averaj, the younger brother of Konstantin Averaj would be present at the fight.Vonn Averaj was a human, despite the fact that his brother was a god. Konstantin’s mother, who was a human, married another human after her first husband, who was a god, died. Vonn was their son, a step brother to Konstantin.He was known for his love for women, and his a
