~iris

The dorm room was quiet when I finally stepped in, dragging my bag behind me. I thought Alice would be here.

My scarf and coat were still wrapped tight, lingering smells of coffee and the only city clinging to me. I dropped my bag near the bed and collapsed onto the edge, pulling my phone out almost automatically.

Missed calls. Alice. A dozen of them.

I swiped them away. Not yet. Not while I was still catching my breath, still shaking off the lingering energy from my outing with Ky. Toni

    ~ Duncan POVThe estate was quieter than usual.Not peaceful.Just… watchful.I stood on the balcony outside my study, staring at the forest stretching beyond the stone walls. The moon hung high above the trees, bright and merciless, casting silver light over the land I had spent years fighting to protect.The same moon that had revealed my son’s secret tonight.White Wolf.Even thinking the words felt dangerous.For centuries the White Wolf had existed only in stories elders told around fires. A myth about a bloodline powerful enough to unite,or destroy all packs.And tonight, that myth had stood trembling in the courtyard beside his sister.My son.Rowan Blackwood.A low growl stirred in my chest before I forced it down.This was exactly what I had feared.Not the power.But what that power would bring.Politics.Greed.Ambition.Lucien Moreau’s expression during the council meeting replayed in my mind again.Too interested.Too calculating.The prophecy Varis had spoken echoed thro

    ~ Iris POVMy heart wouldn’t slow down.It pounded against my ribs so hard I could hear it in my ears.The courtyard had fallen into a stunned silence after Elder Varis’s declaration. Dozens of eyes were fixed on Rowan,some curious, some shocked, some calculating in a way that made my wolf bare its teeth beneath my skin.Rowan stood frozen beside Alice, his small hands trembling slightly.He didn’t understand what had just happened.But everyone else did.“Everyone inside,” Elder Varis said firmly. His voice carried the quiet authority of someone who had lived long enough to command obedience without raising it. “Both twins.”Duncan’s hand found my arm.“Calm down,” he murmured quietly.I hadn’t even realized the tension that had coiled through my body.He was right.If the council saw me panic, they would panic too.So I inhaled slowly and straightened my posture.“Rowan,” I called gently.He looked up at me immediately.“Come here.”Alice grabbed his wrist before he could move.“I t

    ~ Iris POV8:00 p.m.I stood before the mirror, fastening the silver clasp of my necklace behind my neck. The moonstone pendant rested lightly against my collarbone, cool against my skin.Tonight’s meeting had been called by Elder Varis himself. When an elder summoned the council under a full moon, it was never for something trivial.And as Luna, my presence was not optional.“Mom! How do I look?”Alice burst into the room, spinning in a circle. Her gold gown flared around her like sunlight caught in motion.I crouched down and gently held her chin, studying her.“You look… beautiful,” I said softly. “I’m jealous.”She giggled proudly.Just then Rowan barged into the room, chewing loudly with a mouth full of pancakes.“Mom!”Alice immediately folded her arms.“Rowan! Go get dressed.”God.She reminded me so much of my best friend. The same stubborn c

    ~Iris Blackwood Ten years had passed since the world tried to rip us apart. Ten years since blood had stained the clearing, since Alice had saved me at the cost of her own life. Ten years since Duncan had claimed me under the full moon, binding me as his Luna, mate, and partner in a legacy I had never imagined I would inherit. Ten years since I saw Eunice blackwood.The estate was quiet now, a sprawling sanctuary tucked between rivers and hills, far removed from the shadows that had once stalked us. Peace hummed through the air in a way that felt fragile yet exhilarating. The kind of peace you held your breath for, aware that even a whisper of movement in the wrong direction could shatter it.The twins, Alice II and Rowan were six years old, and they were already uncontainable forces of nature. Alice II, fiery, loud, and unapologetically dominant, chased her brother across the gardens, her small hands attempting to shove him while laughing. Rowan, qu

    ~ Iris POV ~“Congratulations, Iris.”Her voice was smooth.Too smooth.Like silk wrapped around a blade.For a second, I couldn’t breathe.Eunice.Standing there as if she hadn’t vanished months ago. As if the world hadn’t burned and rebuilt itself in her absence.She looked… unchanged.Same dark hair cascading over her shoulders. Same sharp eyes that missed nothing. Same calculating calm.Only now, there was something else in her gaze.Interest.I swallowed slowly, forcing my spine straight.“Eunice,” I said evenly.The cashier shifted awkwardly between us, sensing something she couldn’t name.Eunice’s eyes drifted down.To my stomach.Her smile widened slightly.“So it’s true,” she murmured. “Twins.”My hands instinctively rested over my belly.Protective.Always protective now.“Yes.”

    ~ Iris POVThe estate was quiet that evening. The full moon hung low over the hills, silver light spilling into the gardens, casting long shadows over the stone paths. I sat on the veranda, my hands resting on my stomach, feeling the twins shift gently within me. Their tiny movements reminded me that life had a way of continuing, even after pain, even after loss.Duncan approached silently, as he always did, his presence commanding without being loud. He stopped behind me, hands resting lightly on my shoulders, and I leaned back into him instinctively. The scent of him,leather, cedar, and that unshakable Alpha essence,made my heart beat faster.“You’ve been quiet,” he murmured, voice low, warm.“I’m just… thinking,” I admitted, glancing up at the moon. “About everything. About us. About the pack. About the twins.”He smiled faintly, brushing a loose strand of hair behind my ear. “You don’t have to carry everything alone.”

    Chapter 38~iris The room spun around me as I blinked through my tears, my wrists chafing where the ropes dug in. My pulse hammered in my ears, mingling with the faint thrum of music from somewhere outside, muffled but persistent. I couldn’t see clearly yet, but I could feel someone presence befo

Anastasia straightened, pacing slowly in front of me like a lecturer savoring her point.“A father,” she said calmly, almost thoughtfully. “And his daughter.”She stopped and looked at me,her head titling.” Do yo

I had gone to my father's estate for the simplest reason possible to grab a sealed envelope form his study. Old council documents he’d asked me to keep safe weeks ago. He’d already left

    ~ IrisWeeks passed.Not the dramatic kind where everything heals neatly,but the quiet, convincing kind. The kind where routines return, laughter comes easier, and the sharpest edges of pain dull just enough to stop cutting every time you breathe.Alice and I found our rhythm again.Not perfect. No
