Iris's POV I gulped as I stood with my legs rooted to the ground, unable to take a step forward. Lucian walked calmly, his cold footsteps echoing slightly as his shoes hit the cobbled floor.He towered above me, his eyes looked more cold than ever. He looked...really mad. The room grew much colder that I couldn't help but shiver.I bit my lips hard to stop myself it from quivering. It was like as he entered, the temperature of the room reduced to an abnormal level like it was winter. My lips parted but no words came out. No matter how tough I tried to be, it appeared that I was still scared of him either ways and it pissed me off. Mustering every bit of courage, I clenched my fists and looked up at him, our gaze locking.Looking into those cold, icy, blue eyes my heart skipped a bit which was as a result of both fear and admiration of how beautiful they were."I didn't mean to come here. I lost my way, thinking this was were I was looking for." The lie slipped out smoothly.I gulped
Iris's POV The games were over, and finally, I was a council member. I got into the department of my choice, the Investigation team. As expected, Darius and Jameson passed and were also in the same department as me.Things were going quite well, I was able to balance my council life with my life as the Luna. It was very convenient for me as Lucian wasn't around often.I felt unsettled as I thought of the little girl, Reya, whom I met during the physical examination. She had suddenly gone missing after we were taken back to the council. How she disappeared, I just couldn't fathom.I had been having sleepless nights, trying to find her, but it was like she disappeared into thin air. Today was a free day for me, and I had enough time to roam the mansion as I pleased. Not to forget, Rhea had also joined me in the council, and we worked on most cases together alongside Darius and Jameson.Samantha and Eloise on the other hand, had decided to pursue their college dreams as earlier planned
Iris's POV I didn't know why I always connected anything that had to do with blue to Lucian. I smiled at the girl whose eyes brightened on talking about her brother's blue eyes, which were the only thing she remembered."Don't worry, I'll find him. I promise you." I said, although I didn't even know how, "But for now, you'll have to come with me. I'll take you to the officials, so you'll be in good hands till you remember something." "No, no. I don't want to, I want to stay with you." Her lips quivered.I sighed, if she stayed with me, she'll see things that might not be good for a child her age."I'm sorry Reya, but I don't want you to get hurt. Mean things would go on soon, and it isn't good for little girls." I tried to explain.Though she was reluctant, I still carried her up and headed towards where the officials where."What's up Vincent?" Jameson yelled."I'll be back." I replied.But on getting there, the officials and the plane were gone. I couldn't be more frustrated. I we
Iris's POV We were divided into three groups, each with thirty people, each with its respective group leaders and assistants. Jameson and I were lucky to be in the same group, and of course, Darius, the persistent shadow, was also with us. The physical exams involved games, and our skills would be tested. We were each given a sword, a gun, an arrow and a spear."Remember, no matter what you do, make sure to never kill your opponent. Injuring them severely is allowed, but they mustn't die. If you kill am opponent, you'd be killed that exact way. You are being watched, so be careful." Hector warned.The first game we were going to play was track the treasure. There were three groups, and three treasures. If one group was able able to get all three treasures, then the other groups would be automatically evicted. If two of the groups were able to get them, the group without none would be evicted and vice versa."Are they planning to kill us or something?" Jameson asked as he watched som
Lucian's POV When I was younger, I remembered the few times and what had to occur before I fell asleep, as falling asleep was very rare. My father had tried all he could, trying to find a solution, but to no avail.He did bad things, just to find a solution, but none of them worked. He always thought he did a good job hiding them, but I was Lucian, and it wasn't long before I figured it out.Well, one of the things that could make me fall asleep was going berserk, yes. Anytime I went berserk, I would, or might, sleep for some minutes to an hour. Like now, I slept. I opened my eyes, and the first thing I saw was Konstantin, sniffing around me like some dog."You're awake, I thought you died. I was sniffing to know my next step." He chuckled before shifting back and relaxing on a cane chair close to my bed.I slowly sit up, looking around. My eyes met with the family's black and grey colour of things, I was in my room. My head ached as I recalled the events.I remembered going with Ko
Iris's POVI sat amidst the bag of vegetables as the truck was in motion. My head gently swayed side to side as I enjoyed the country music Samantha's aunt, Cherry, was playing as she drove."You seem to like the songs." She chuckled."Ah, yes. It's a great way to start your day." I replied.The plans had changed; I no longer needed to sneak out in fear of the guards or anything. All I had to do was get ready and enter the vegetable truck.No one suspected anything, my plans were going fine, and I hadn't been seeing Lucian, which was good luck for me.Today was for the physical exams, and I had improved my sword skills and even learnt more skills from Rhea. She even taught me how to shoot a gun, which I didn't find quite surprising as she had a knack for these things.She would be joining me, but she decided to figure out some things first, which I understood."I know you'll ace it. Success." Aunt Cherry smiled, waving at me, which I returned.I stood by the roadside till her truck wa
