Mag-log inIRIS POV:Cassian kissed me again, slow and deep, his tongue sliding against mine like he owned every part of me. My body was still trembling from the last orgasm, but the strange warmth inside me kept growing. I knew I shouldn’t want this. I knew this was wrong. But I couldn’t stop.He pulled back and looked down at me, his eyes dark with hunger.“You’re so beautiful when you come for me,” he whispered.He reached over to the side table and picked up two long black ropes. My eyes widened.“What are you doing?” I asked, my voice shaky.Cassian smiled. “I want you completely at my mercy tonight.”He took my wrists gently but firmly and tied them together, then looped the rope around the headboard of the bed, securing my hands above my head. The ropes were tight enough that I couldn’t pull free, but not painful. I tested them once, my heart racing.He looked at me like that, tied up, naked, completely exposed, and his cock twitched hard against my thigh.“Perfect,” he growled.He moved
IRIS POV:“How do you feel?” he asked.I sat up slowly and touched my head. The strange pressure was still there, but it was lighter now.“I feel… fine,” I said. My voice sounded strange even to my own ears.But something else was wrong.Every time I looked at Cassian, my chest felt warm. My heart beat a little faster. I didn’t understand why. I should hate him. He was the enemy. He had taken me. Yet something inside me kept pulling toward him.Cassian stood up and walked closer to the bed. He stopped right in front of me.“Let me see if my charm worked,” he said with a small smile.I frowned. “What charm?”He smiled wider. His eyes were dark and calm.“Kiss me,” he said softly.“Are you out of your mind?” I said.“Alright.” He said, leaning forward. “I want you to kiss me, Iris.”Suddenly my body entered a state that I didn't know it had, my mind told me no, this was dangerous, this was wrong, but my body… my body wanted to move closer. A strange warmth spread through me, like someth
IRIS POV:My eyes opened slowly.The ceiling above me was stone, low and unfamiliar.I turned my head and saw bars, thick iron bars on every side. The floor beneath me was hard, and my shoulder still ached where the dart had hit.I sat up slowly.Aurelian was across the cell from me, sitting with his back against the wall, his arms resting on his knees. His eyes were already open. He was watching me.I looked at him.Everything Fiona had said in that room came back at once. The timestamp. The car positioned on the highway. All of it."You ruined my life," I whispered."You took a video of my mate with another woman," I said. "A video that was two years old. And you changed the date. You made me think he betrayed me the night before I was supposed to stand at that altar and become his Luna." I pressed my hands flat against the cold floor. "I had a life, Aurelian. It wasn't perfect, but it was mine, and you decided to take it from me because you were looking for someone else.""You're r
IRIS POV:"What?" I said."Oh," Fiona said. "He didn't tell you."I looked at Aurelian."What is she talking about?" I asked.Aurelian nodded his head slightly.Fiona stepped closer."Think about it, Iris," she said. "A Lycan of his standing. His wealth. His world. Do you think a man like that randomly leaves all of it to drive through a pack territory in the middle of the night? Do you think his car just happened to be at the front of the mating hall of the Alpha heir at exactly the right moment?" She paused. "Do you think it was a coincidence that your face was identical to the woman he had been looking for for eight years? Nothing about that night was a coincidence. Nothing about any of it was a coincidence.""What are you saying?" I said."I'm saying it was planned," she said. "From the very beginning. Aurelian was in Dark Moon territory two days before your mating ceremony. He knew about Nicholas. He knew about you. He knew about the ceremony. And he had the technology, the acces
IRIS POV:“We have troubling evidence,” one of the Lycans said, sliding a thick folder across the table toward Aurelian. “Documents showing unauthorized movement of resources from our territories into Virex holdings. Funds rerouted. Agreements broken. This looks like a deliberate power grab, Aurelian.”The second Lycan nodded, his voice cold. “We expected better from you. If this is true, it’s a direct challenge to the balance we’ve maintained for decades.”Aurelian leaned back in his chair, completely calm, looking bored. He flipped through the documents without hurry, then set them down.“This is a frame,” he said boldly.He turned to me, then to Nicholas.Nicholas smiled a little and looked away. That was the confirmation Aurelian needed.“Someone went to great lengths to forge these. The signatures are wrong. The dates don’t match any of my records. This is amateur work at best.”The first Lycan’s eyes narrowed. “You deny it?”“I don’t deny that someone wants me to look guilty,” A
IRIS POV:My eyes opened slowly, and I was in Aurelian’s apartment, the soft sheets tangled around my bare legs.I looked around. Aurelian wasn’t there.Sitting up, I rubbed my eyes.I swung my legs off the bed and padded barefoot to the bathroom.The shower was huge, with floor-to-ceiling glass that fogged easily. I turned the water on hot and stepped inside, letting the steam wrap around me. The heat soothed my sore muscles as I tilted my head back under the spray.A soft click echoed through the bathroom.Someone had opened the room door.My heart jumped. I froze, water cascading over my shoulders.I quickly finished rinsing, turned off the water, and grabbed a towel. Wrapping it tightly around my body, I wiped a small circle on the foggy glass and peered out.It was Aurelian. He stood there calmly, holding a sleek black dress on a hanger in one hand. The fabric looked expensive and elegant, with a dangerous neckline.I opened the door a little wider, water still dripping from my h
IRIS POV:“Where’s she?” I growled, my voice shaking with anger.Aurelian’s smile didn’t fade. He tilted his head slightly, looking at me with calm curiosity.“Who exactly is that?” he asked.The rage that had been building since then exploded inside me. I swung my hand again, aiming for another sl
IRIS POV:“Mom, it’s okay,” I said softly, wrapping my arms around her shaking shoulders.But she only cried harder. “They took her… they took my Fiona… After all these years, I finally saw her again and now…” Her voice broke as fresh tears ran down her face. “What if they hurt her? What if I never
SERAH POV:We lay there for a few minutes, breathing hard, bodies sticky with sweat. Stephen’s arm was wrapped around me, his fingers tracing lazy circles on my hip. My pussy still throbbed from how hard he had fucked me. I shifted a little and sat up slowly. My legs felt weak.“I want to take a s
SERAH POV: The sound of skin slapping skin filled the room as he pounded me from behind, his hands gripping my hips so tight I knew there would be marks tomorrow. I moaned loud, pushing back against him, taking every inch. My breasts swung heavily with each powerful stroke. Sweat was already dripp
