Alpha Dylan. Just like the first time she would ever ask me that question, my mind still went blank again. How could she always ask me the same question every time she set her eyes on me?"Iris, it is me, Dylan," I said in a lame attempt to make her remember. The doctor came over to my side and moved around me to get to her. Once he was close, he began to examine her thoroughly. Unlike the first time, no one told me to move my ass out of the way. I waited, watching as the doctor used some sort of touch to check her eyeballs, roamed his fingers in front of her, and asked her a few questions also."How do you feel now?" He asked when he was done with his examination. He had his hand on the report card that was always seated at the edge of the bed. "A bit of a headache and pain," Iris mumbled out. "Dry throat also." She added after a while.The doctor nodded and wrote some things in the card. Once he returned the card back to the usual position, he turned to look at me first, then bac
Alpha Dylan. Days after the doctor told me those words, my heart was no longer in the right places. I lost track of myself and barely managed to keep my shit together.The possibility that the woman might never remember who I was? How absurb! Except that I knew there was nothing absurb about the matter. In fact, since I got that revelation, my mind had been far away. Why?Because every time I stepped into Iris's room, I got that look that said that I was a nobody to her, so she couldn't overly be concerned about my presence. While I tried my best to act like the words and actions didn’t get to me whenever I was with her, once I was out of her room, my heart always sank down.It was so bad that even Arnold had begun to notice the difference to me. Now, I hadn't gone to the hospital for two days in a roll after telling Arnold to only contact me if there was something wrong or if my signature was needed for something.While I was at the hospital, I tried to urge the doctor to continue
Dylan.I woke up with my head banging hard like I had spent the entire night handling some dangerous mission that left my life on edge. I groaned as I got up from the bed and made my way to the...Wait? A bed? How had I gotten onto a bed? The last thing I remembered was Alpha Arnold trying to communicate with me and me rudely cutting him off. The events that follwed after that were a bit not so clear to me."Are you okay now?" I heard the gruff voice of the man I was just thinking about. I turned around and saw him sitting down on a chair, a book in hand - book that I was so sure he was not reading - and his attention duly focused on me. I looked around and saw that we were in the same hotel room we had gotten for almost a week in a row now. Or was it three days? My brain was still a bit foggy, so I couldn't think straight.But how? How did he end up being with me? Was he not supposed to be with Iris?"Is something wrong with Iris?" I asked him without even stopping to think."Oh, so
Iris.I watched the Alpha Arnold walk in with the man who had refused to grace me with his presence for a few days now. I didn't know why, but I had gone from not wanting to have anything to do with the man to simply missing his presence around.But then again, as much as I missed his presence, there was still this warning in a part of my heart that kept telling me that I should not give him the chance to get too close with me. Otherwise, I would be playing with fire. I didn't even know what that was supposed to mean, but I wanted to pay attention to my sixth sense. In a way, it had helped helped me out of trouble.A sigh escaped my lips as I turned to pick up a handkerchief so that I would be able to wipe sweat off my face. I was alerted to how well I was healing now. If it was before, rather than that sigh that I let out, I was sure that it was going to either be a groan or it was going to be me being in tears from the excruciating pain that would take over me."Let me help with tha
The rain tapered off slowly as Miguel Hughes wined up the car's window while stealing a glance at his wife, Eva Hughes, who slowly rubbed her hand slowly on her belly before leaning back on the chair with the seat belts wrapped around her.The sound of the wind whispering through the trees and the high pitched beep sound from the tree frog filled the night as they drove through the deserted road in the forest.Eva Hughes protested on passing through that road because of the scary tales that she had heard about the road. She had heard about the robbers and the scary creatures that lurked around the road at night. There was also the myth that whoever went into the forest at night never came back alive.But here she was, having a drive with her husband in the mysterious forest."I can't wait for the baby to come, I am so excited for her birth," Miguel squeaked in excitement as he focused on the drive."Me too! That isn't the only thing that I am excited about though," Eva replied, with h
Iris P.O.VI sat in front of the mirror as I smothered coconut oil on my hair before brushing through it with a hairbrush.I stared at myself in the mirror and for the first time in my life, I wondered who had the same face as me in my family lineage because I neither looked like my mom or dad. They once told me about how they usually argued about who I would look like between the two of them and I ended up dashing their hopes by not resembling either of them.They also joked about how I ruined the bet they had by coming out different.Apart from my mom and dad who were both browned hair, I had a vulcanite black hair that always fell on my back, a dainty nose complemented with rapture blue eyes that glittered like shooting stars. I was quite popular at school and around the neighborhood because of my looks.While others admired me and always praised me, some people thought that I was proud and would usually say demeaning and condescending words about me.I didn't really care abou
Iris P.O.VLuckily for me, I was able to escape through the window without sustaining any injury. The only pain I felt was when I fell to the ground, making a thud on the ground. "Arrrghh!" I groaned in pain with my teeth gritted while leaping on a foot as I ran towards the parking lot hurriedly.I kept looking behind me to be sure that my parents hadn't realized that I had left the room and was about to leave the house for good. I couldn't just decipher how my father would use me as an exchange for a deal that he made with the said moon goddess. I wasn’t trying to be ungrateful about his sacrifice or anything but the more I think about it, he could have just let me die. He could have just let me die if he knew that I was the price he was going to pay.I couldn’t just wrap my head around the fact that my parents wanted me to marry a werewolf because of a promise that my father made in the past.Why did I have to suffer for something that I knew nothing of?It was more like I was be
Dylan’s P.O.VAfter scaring the wolves that tried to attack the girl, I changed back into my human form and my eyes strayed towards the dainty figure that collapsed on the floor. I crouched down next to her while the moonlight reflected on her face, her vulcanite black hair almost covered half of her face. I removed the hair that was all over her face with my fingers brushing through her face in the process. On a normal night, if someone had fainted I would have left them there till they recuperated on their own but I developed a great urge to look at this lady's face. There was nothing special about her face, the only thing I found attractive about her were her long languid eyelashes of velvet-black. "Should I save her or should I leave her here?" I pondered deeply on it with my eyes fixated on her. The first time I transformed before an old woman was when I went to a small town for a mission that the moon goddess assigned to me, she was thrown into a state of shock and when she
