Mag-log in~ IRIS The room felt too quiet after everything, not peaceful, not healed.Just… the kind of quiet that makes you hear every thought you’ve been avoiding.Duncan stood near the window, arms folded, still carrying that stubborn weight he never knew how to put down.I didn’t even wait for him to speak.“its true?,” I said flatly.He turned slowly.“…true about what?”I let out a short, humorless laugh.“With Calista.”That alone changed the air.His expression tightened slightly, like he already knew where this was going.“Iris…”“No,” I cut him off immediately. “Don’t start with that tone.”Silence.I stepped closer.“You left your injured son, locked him up,” I said sharply, “and them went out with a woman that's not your wife.”Duncan exhaled slowly. “It wasn’t like that.”“Oh?” I tilted my head. “Because from where I stood, it looked exactly like that.”His jaw
~ KAEL Before Alice came in… the room was actually quiet,the kind of quiet that makes you think something is about to explode again.I was still sitting on the bed.Iris was still standing near me, pretending like she wasn’t checking if I was bleeding again.And I was trying very hard not to look at her too much.I was Failing obviously.She sighed softly and tightened the bandage again.“You really don’t know how to sit still, do you?” she muttered.I smirked faintly.“I do. I just choose not to.”“That’s not a skill, Kael.”“It is in my world.”She rolled her eyes, but I saw it.That small almost-smile she tries to hide when she’s not annoyed enough to stay serious.My hand moved before I gave myself the chance to stop it, I caught her wrist.Not tight. Not the way I usually grab things when I’m angry or trying to control the moment. Just… enough to keep her from pulling
~ IRIS The moment we drove into the estate, everything felt… heavier again, Not louder.Not more chaotic, Just heavier.Like the walls themselves remembered everything that had happened and were judging us for coming back.The car barely stopped before Duncan was already there.Standing at the steps, still injured.Still trying to act like he wasn’t.And beside him…Rowan.Calm.Too calm..Like I hadn't just shouted at him.Like I didnt just query him for trying to kill kael.Like he hadn’t just wiped out half a battlefield earlier.We stepped out one by one.Mira stretched her neck slightly. “I need a bed.”Thorne immediately replied, “You need rest.”“I just said that.”“I’m confirming.”Alice looked around dramatically. “If I die young, write songs about me.”“No one is writing songs about your chaos,” I said.“Rude.”Kael was the last to
~ IRISI didn't know when it came out from my mouth, but all I know was that I wasn't ready for Duncan yet. I wasn't ready to face him, I wasn't ready for him at all. But I didn't know why I had allowed ky to also stay with the boys, instead of kael or Thorne.I just didn't want old feelings steering up. I think.The car was too small for this level of chaos.That was my first thought.My second thought was that someone should honestly be paying me hazard allowance for surviving this family..Thorne was driving, One hand on the wheel.The other… firmly holding Mira’s hand like she might disappear if he let go.I actually feel didn't know throne was quiet protective. Actually, I didn't even know that Thorne would fall in love, and not for someone like Mira.She was chaos, but i mean that's what men need in their life these days. Especially Thorne who doesn't smile.Mira was sitting in the f
~ IrisAfter I had escorted Kael to the healer’s room, the noise from the hall felt distant… like it belonged to another world entirely.Up here, everything was quiet. The scent of herbs filled the air, mixed with blood and something faintly metallic. Healers moved around us, efficient, calm..used to chaos in ways I would never fully understand.But my focus stayed on him.On Kael.He sat on the edge of the bed, shoulders tense, jaw tight, like he was trying to convince his own body that nothing had happened.Typical.Stubborn boy.“Sit properly,” one of the healers said, pushing him lightly.“I am sitting,” he muttered.“Not like you want to run away.”That almost made me smile.I stayed near the doorway at first… watching. Observing, Like I always did.Like I didn’t care.But I did.And that was the problem.They started cleaning the wound on his side, and even though he didn’t make a sound, I saw it the slight tightening of his fingers, the way his breathing shifted just a little.P
~ IRIS Kael was still in front of me, Still protecting me…Still acting like I needed it.And honestly… it was getting on my nerves.“I told you already,” I snapped, ducking as a rogue rushed past. “I don’t need you standing in front of me like I’m helpless.”Yeah I know I was supposed to be grateful for saving us, for picking me over his own aunt. But kael is kael.Oh where is Duncan? Why hasn't he dealt with Eunice and come out. Kael held me by the waist dragging me to the back.“ Ugh leave me, I can fight.”Kael didn’t even turn.“You’re bleeding on your arm,” he said flatly, blocking another attack meant for me.“It’s a scratch.”“That’s not a scratch.”“It is in my world.”“In your world, you also call chaos ‘strategy,’ so I’m not trusting your judgement.”I glared at him.“You’re very annoying, you know that?”“Yes,” he said simply. “I’ve been told.”That almost made me laugh.Almost.But I held it in.Because I refused to give him the satisfaction.Not in this war yet.Another
~AliceEvery time I closed my eyes, I saw Iris's face, the shock, the tears, the way she’d slapped me so hard my ears rang.I had to find her. Explain. Beg. Anything.I grabbed my keys and drove straight to Eunice’s private residence on the edge of campus, the sleek modern house my dad let her use
~IrisI didn’t even know what to do. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.I would have sworn on my life that Alice would never cheat on me.Well… I did. But it doesn’t matter.Sandra stayed on her knees for a second longer, intentionally licking Alice’s release from her fingers like my standing th
~IrisHe caressed my face with the back of his knuckles, slow and deliberate, like he was memorizing every curve.“You beautiful little wolf,” he murmured, voice rough with something that sounded almost like wonder.Then his mouth crashed into mine, hard, hungry, no gentleness left. His teeth caugh
~DuncanWaiting until 8 p.m. felt like slow torture. Every minute dragged, the clock mocking me while I paced the study, whiskey untouched. At 7:55 I left the estate in the Mitsubishi, windows down, night air cutting sharp across my skin. Thorne followed in the SUV behind me.We pulled up to The O
