تسجيل الدخولIRIS POV:“You messed up really badly, Virx,” the man said, his voice cold and authoritative.“What made you think it was a bright idea to go against The General Lycan Council?”Aurelian’s jaw tightened. “They…”“You’re not supposed to answer that,” the messenger cut him off sharply. “It’s not a question. It was never a bright idea. It has never been, and it never will be.”Aurelian slowly pushed himself off the couch and rose to his full height.“I did what I had to do,” he growled.“No,” the messenger snapped, stepping closer. “You broke the sacred law. Every wolf must be bound. That is the rule.”Aurelian’s eyes snapped to him. “Then is your wolf bound?”The messenger’s lips curled into a sneer.“I am a messenger of The Lycan High Sanctum and of The Lycan Eternal Court,” he declared. “Why should my wolf be bound?”Aurelian took one step forward.“Then why should mine?” he challenged him.“Because you are an ordinary Lycan!” the man shouted.I sat there quietly, knowing fully well i
IRIS POV:“Iris!” Serah rushed towards me, hugging me.“Did it work?” Rowe asked.“I don't know, I don't know,” I replied.“But what happened up there?” Rowe asked.“Nothing actually, I just saw an old woman and she said she'll try,” I said.“You don't believe what you just said,” Serah said. “What happened, Iris? You've been there for three hours and you don't sound like you…”“Serah, it's ok,” I said. “Let's go back and hope we see Aurelian soon,” I said, smiling.‘Are you gonna tell them?’ my wolf asked.“I don't think they're ready for it,” I replied.Rowe started the car and we drove off.I looked at the car's side mirror and noticed the old Lycan. She smiled at me and I smiled back.We reached the mansion just as the sun was beginning to set. The gates opened smoothly for us and Rowe drove in slowly. I felt exhausted but hopeful. Maybe Aurelian had already returned. Maybe the old woman’s ritual had worked.Rowe parked the car and we stepped out. Serah stayed close to me, her han
CASSIAN POV:“So you didn't think you should track him?”“We don't know when he left, sir.”I stopped at the door to the cell we put Aurelian in. He wasn't there.“Who opened this door? It could only be opened by someone from outside,” I said, my voice low and dangerous.“We don't…”“Help…” someone groaned from inside.“Is someone in there?” I asked, my eyes narrowing.“I… don't think so. I only looked and noticed he wasn't there and I ran to come tell you,” the guard explained, his voice shaking badly.I looked at him for a long second, then pushed the heavy door open.Two steps in, I saw the dagger on the ground. The same ancient dagger I had kept locked in my drawer at my office.I clenched my fist so hard my knuckles turned white.Then I saw him.Nicholas was slumped against the wall like a broken doll. His face was badly burnt, red, blistered skin peeling off in patches. His body was covered in deep tears and claw marks, blood soaking his torn clothes. He looked like he had been
CASSIAN POV:The room was thick with the scent of expensive perfume, whiskey, and raw desire.I sat in the large leather chair in the corner of my private suite, legs spread wide, a glass of whiskey in one hand. The lights were low, golden and seductive. In the center of the room stood a sturdy metal pole, gleaming under the soft lighting.Lila and Sophia danced for me like they were born to please.Lila had long, dark hair that swayed with every movement, full red lips, heavy breasts that bounced as she spun, and a round, firm ass that jiggled enticingly. Sophia had blonde curls bouncing around her shoulders, bright blue eyes full of mischief, a leaner athletic body with perky breasts and long, toned legs that looked endless.Both were completely naked.Lila wrapped one leg high around the pole, arching her back as she slid down slowly, her breasts thrusting out toward me. Sophia danced beside her, grinding her hips against the pole, sliding down with her back to me, showing off her
AURELIAN POV:The door was unlocked from outside and creaked open.My body was still hanging, my arms chained high above me, my feet not touching the ground.Nicholas stepped inside.He pushed the heavy metal door behind him but didn’t lock it back. It could only be opened and locked from the outside anyway.He stood there for a moment, staring at me. His face was still bandaged from the slap I had given him earlier, but his eyes were full of pure hatred.“Look at you,” he said, his voice low and filled with satisfaction. “The mighty Aurelian Virex. Hanging here like a piece of meat. Bleeding. Broken. Unable to heal.”He walked closer, circling me slowly like a predator enjoying the sight of wounded prey.“I hate you,” he continued. “I hate everything about you. Your power. Your name. The way everyone bows to you like you’re some kind of god. You walked into my office like you owned it. You humiliated me in front of my own people. You took Iris from me. You made me look weak.”He stop
AURELIAN POV:I was still hanging there.I looked up at my hands. They were bleeding. The chains had torn them apart.The hunger wasn't the problem, but the pain in my whole body from hanging on a sharp-edged chain wrapped with wolfbane, and now it was dripping into the open wounds. Each drop felt like acid burning into my flesh, eating away at me little by little.Every small movement sent fresh waves of pain through my shoulders and back.The ancient dagger Nicholas had driven into my back was still lodged there, the wound refusing to heal.I didn’t know how long I had been like this. Days? A week?Time had lost all meaning in this dark stone room. The only light came from a small bulb hanging from the ceiling, swinging slightly whenever I moved.“I am getting bored of only talking to you,” I said inside my head.‘Good thing I don't get bored. Many people stay weeks or even months without talking to their wolf,’ he said. ‘It's like their wolf doesn't exist to them.’“I'll consider t
IRIS POV:I stood frozen on the porch for a moment longer than I should have.Sarah nudged me gently from behind."Iris," she whispered. "He came back for you."I stepped down from the porch slowly, my bare feet meeting the cool pavement of the path. I stopped a few feet from the gate where Aurelia
IRIS POV:He didn't rush. He never rushed. He straightened to his full height, adjusted the sleeve of his jacket once, and then looked down the street with those storm-gray eyes like he had all the time in the world.The officers noticed him first. One of them leaned toward the other and said somet
IRIS POV:“Hello, who am I speaking with?” Sarah's voice came calmly from the phone.“Sarah, it's me, Iris,” I replied.“Wait… what the hell, Iris? Has something got into you? What did I just witness, Iris?” she yelled.“You're not going to understand, Sarah…”“Try me.” Her voice dropped, the way i
IRIS POV:I couldn't explain what just happened. I was literally confused.I waited until he turned left.I pushed the door open and stepped back inside the room. I walked straight to the massive closet. The lights turned on automatically when I got close. Rows and rows of clothes hung perfectly st
