Iris POV

The feeling you get when you know death is inches away, that same terrifying sensation crawls through me now. Tears spill down my cheeks relentlessly. My heart hammers against my ribs, and my hands turn ice-cold.

Why… I had to do that. Why did I hit him?

My vision gets blurred as my eyes get moisturized more and my hands are wet with sweat. I try to grip the fabric of my dress to steady my trembling body from collapsing on the floor.

I know this is going to be my last moment at any tim

  • His Dark Devotion •The Monster Bride•   Worship [142]

    Author's POV Iris sat comfortably on the hilltop, watching the sun slowly disappear beneath the clouds. Its warm rays brushed against her skin, making her lean closer to Xavier. They sat in silence for a while. It was the kind of silence that felt comforting rather than empty."How's your arm now?" Iris asked, glancing at him.Xavier took her hand in his and brought it to his lips, pressing a gentle kiss against her knuckles."It's fine." It had been a week since his injury, and things were slowly getting back to normal.He wrapped an arm around her shoulders and pulled her closer."What is my princess doing?" he murmured, his gaze dropping toward her stomach.He leaned down and gently rested his hand over her growing belly."Your obsession with thinking it's a girl is getting a little too much," Iris teased.Xavier looked up at her, completely serious."What do you mean?""It's a girl." Xavier said.Iris laughed softly. "You two are already fighting over a baby who hasn't even been

    “Dad, pick me up!” The little boy's tiny voice echoed through the room, the words still slightly slurred as he struggled to form them properly, Xavier looked down at him, his expression instantly softened.A small smile tugged at his lips as he bent down and lifted his son into his arms.“There you go, little man.” The boy wrapped his tiny arms around his father's neck, resting his head against his shoulder."Did you put everything inside the car?" Iris's voice came from behind as she hurried out of the house.Her steps were quick, almost rushed.Xavier looked up at her, and the moment she noticed the worried expression on his face, her own expression turned serious."Xavier, we can't be late on the first day.""I'll look into it," he assured her.Iris quickly picked up a small outfit and placed it on the chair.“ We need to get Arlo in these clothes."“ I will look outside to take him Iru."

  • His Dark Devotion •The Monster Bride•   Last goodbye [139]

    Iris’s POVLife had given me so many wounds that I didn't even know where to begin counting them. It had brought me to my knees more times than I could remember. And every time I thought I had finally found something worth holding on to, life found a way to take it from me, I had lost so much… slowly… painfully.Until there was almost nothing left."Iris..." A faint voice pulled me from my thoughts.My fingers tightened around the rough hand in mine as I felt it slowly slipping away from me."Please, rest for a little while. You need it."I turned toward Xavier, He had been sitting beside me the entire time, never leaving my side."No." My voice trembled. "I can't." I shook my head, tears gathering in my eyes."What if Dad wakes up and I'm not there?"My breath caught as the emotions I'd been holding inside finally began spilling over."He'll be sad…” my voice broke."I don't want him to wake up alone." I could feel myself losing control, the fear, pain, and exhaustion crashing over m

  • His Dark Devotion •The Monster Bride•   Lying Dead [138]

Declan's voice echoed through the room as he walked toward the man kneeling on the floor.The man was barely holding himself upright. Blood covered his clothes, and several wounds marked his body, making it obvious that he had already been brutally beaten."Who are you?" Declan asked, beside him, Xavier tightened his grip around his gun.He didn't want another pointless interrogation. He wanted to tear the man apart, make him pay for everything he had done, but he forced himself to stay silent and let Declan handle it.Ethan, meanwhile, looked completely bored by the conversation. He walked over to the couch, dropped onto it, picked up an apple, and took a leisurely bite."Dad, you're doing it wrong," Ethan said mockingly. "He should be properly interrogated. You know, give him a little motivation, and then you two can have tea and talk things out. I'm sure he'll tell you everything."Declan
