Masuk~Iris POV.It’s been five days since Duncan,my Alpha, my husband,traveled.Oh, Goddess… I missed him.More than I expected.More than I wanted to admit.At night, the bed felt too large. Too quiet. No steady warmth beside me. No quiet reassurances. Just thoughts…Too many thoughts.And not all of them good.The council.Lucien.Rowan.The prophecy.Everything felt like it was shifting beneath my feet, and for the first time in a long while…I wasn’t sure where it would land.I stepped out of the bathroom, tying my towel firmly around my body, still slightly damp from the heat of the water.And froze.Mira was sitting on my bed.Just… sitting there.Watching me.Her chin rested on her palm, eyes scanning me slowly like she had all the time in the world.I blinked.Then rolled my eyes and tossed a piece of clothing at her.
~Duncan POV9 p.m.I packed the last clothes into my bag.Elder Varis had said we had to travel to confirm something about the White Wolf. I hadn’t told Iris yet.I didn’t want to bother her…Not until she showed up in my room.She was dressed in a soft, delicate piece that caught the low candlelight, her hair falling loosely over her shoulders, her presence alone enough to scatter every thought in my head.I want to drag her closer and sucked on those boobs of her peeping through.God.What was I thinking now?The White Wolf was important, I guessed.“Duncan… where to?” she asked, stepping closer, her voice calm but her eyes already searching mine.I sighed.Of course she would notice.She always did.“You’re packing,” she continued, glancing at the half-filled bag. “At night. Without telling me. That already sounds like a bad decision.”A faint smil
~Author POVThe training grounds were alive again.Morning light spilled across the wide field, turning the dew on the grass into tiny glimmers of gold. The air was crisp, cool enough to sharpen focus, but not cold enough to slow movement.Perfect conditions.Alice stood at the center of the ring, hands on her hips, golden hair tied back,though several strands had already escaped, framing her face like she had intentionally styled it that way.“I just want to say,” she announced loudly, “that if I win this, it will be very embarrassing for you.”Thorne didn’t even blink.“You haven’t started yet,” he said calmly.“That’s not the point,” Alice replied, already pacing like she owned the ground beneath her feet. “It’s about expectations. And right now? Yours are too high. I’m about to crush them.”“ You said that last week and it didn't go well.”From the sidelines, Iris watched quietly.There was the faintest smile on her lips.Alice had always been like this,bold, expressive, dramatic
~Lucien POVThe fire cracked softly in the hearth, but it did nothing to warm the room.I stood by the window, staring out into the darkened forest beyond the estate. Night had swallowed everything,the trees, the paths, even the distant lights of the training grounds.But not my thoughts.They burned.“That was reckless,” I said finally, my voice low but sharp. “Allowing that child to train so openly.”Behind me, Elder Varis exhaled slowly, the sound measured, controlled. “It was necessary. The boy must learn control.”I turned, eyes narrowing. “Control? You saw what happened. He’s six, Varis. Six. And already his wolf is pushing beyond restraint.”Varis folded his hands behind his back, calm as ever. “And yet… he stopped.”“Barely.”The word came out harsher than I intended.I dragged a hand down my face, pacing now. “You felt it, didn’t you? That surge. That pressure in the air. That wasn
~Iris POVThe evening air smelled faintly of rain and damp grass as we reached the twins’ quarters. Rowan still clutched the stair railing, small hands trembling slightly, wolf energy humming faintly beneath his skin. Alice trailed behind, swinging her arms like she owned the place, golden hair catching the last light.I knelt to Rowan’s level. “You’re safe now, little wolf. The council can’t touch you up here.”He blinked, blue eyes wide. “But… would I be bad, Mom?”The question hung in the air, heavy and honest. My chest tightened. Rowan was six, barely understanding the weight of his powers, yet already questioning morality, responsibility… control.“Bad?” I asked softly. “No, Rowan. You’re not bad. Not because of your wolf, not because of your strength. It’s how you use it that matters.”Alice leaned against the doorframe, smirking. “Don’t listen to him, Rowan. He’s just dramatic. But also… a little scary.”
~Iris POVThe council chamber was colder than I expected, even with the torches flickering along the walls. I entered, still carrying the faint smell of the training field, grass, sweat, and the subtle undercurrent of wolf energy from Rowan’s uncontrolled surge.Duncan was already seated, hands steepled, his jaw tight. Mira Calder stood nearby, silent as always, eyes sharp and alert. The twins were with the bodyguards, Alice in her golden tunic, Eliora watching with wide eyes, and Rowan… nowhere in sight.“Luna,” Elder Varis began, bowing slightly. “We must discuss what happened today. The incident with Master Rowan.”I felt a pulse in my chest. Rowan was six. He was barely bigger than a human child’s hand span, and yet the raw power in him today had been… terrifying.Lucien Moreau’s eyes glinted from across the chamber. “Terrifying?” he spat, voice tight. “Terrifying doesn’t begin to cover it. That child,your White Wolf, your p
~iris I felt him before I saw him. The air shifted like the mansion itself straightened in attention. My heart skipped as his presence flooded the space, calm and commanding, wrapping around me through the bond. I turned just as Duncan stepped into the hallway, removing his coat. His sharp eyes
~irisThe 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 ou
~iris One week.That was all it had been,seven days tucked away inside walls that smelled like safety and power. Seven days where fear didn’t follow me into my sleep. Seven days of quiet laughter, lingering looks, and moments I knew I wasn’t supposed to get attached to.But I did.The suitcase at
~iris “Iris?”My heart dropped straight into my stomach.I froze.Slowly, I turned.Alice stood a few steps away, dressed for class, her hair pulled back, her expression shifting from confusion to something sharper the moment she registered where I was coming from. Her eyes flicked past me,to the
