~Alice

Why the hell was Iris’s phone with him?

My hand started shaking so badly I nearly dropped the phone.

My father didn’t even like omegas. He’d never shown interest in anyone after Mom died. And Iris… Iris was mine. She’d always been mine.

But the way he’d said “she’s not available”… like he had every right to speak for her.

Like she was with him right now.

I stood up from the bar stool so fast it scraped loud across the floor. The room spun a little, tequila hitting my head harder than I e

    Chapter 103~ Alice POV ~I knew she was coming before she knocked.I could feel it.Some people knock softly.Some hesitate outside your door.Iris didn’t.Three sharp knocks.Demanding.Like she had every right to stand there.I stared at my reflection for half a second longer before answering. My face was calm. Composed.Perfectly fine.“Come in,” I called.The door opened.She stepped inside like a storm trying to pretend it was sunlight.The door shut behind her.Silence.We just looked at each other.She was tense. Shoulders tight. Jaw clenched.Good.At least I wasn’t the only one unraveling.“What do you want?” I asked casually.Her eyes flashed.“You know what I want.”I leaned against my dresser. “Enlighten me.”“You sent the video.”Not a que

    ~ Iris POV ~I found Ky near the western training grounds just before sunset.The sky was streaked in gold and fading blue, warriors clearing out after drills, the air thick with dust and sweat and the distant scent of pine. It should’ve felt ordinary.Instead, everything felt sharp.Like glass under skin.Ky stood with her back to me, arms folded as she watched two younger wolves spar. She didn’t turn when I approached.“I heard,” she said quietly.Of course she had.Nothing stayed quiet in this estate.I stopped beside her. “I can’t believe she did that.”Ky finally looked at me. Her expression wasn’t surprised. It wasn’t even angry.It was calculating.“You can’t?” she asked gently.The question hit harder than accusation.“She looked me in the eye this morning,” I said, voice tightening. “She said she was tired of fighting. She smiled.”

    ~ Duncan POV ~The house had never felt this quiet.Not after war.Not after funerals.Not even the night my mate died.But tonight…The silence was different.It wasn’t grief.It was fracture.I stood outside Alice’s door for a full thirty seconds before knocking.Three slow taps.No answer.I didn’t need one.“Open the door, Alice.”A pause.Then the click of the lock.I stepped inside.Her room was dimly lit, curtains drawn despite the late afternoon sun. She stood by the window, arms crossed, posture rigid.She didn’t turn around.“I suppose this is where you lecture me,” she said flatly.I closed the door behind me.“No.”That made her glance over her shoulder.“No?” she repeated.“No lectures.”I walked further into the room, slow, measured steps

    ~ Iris POV ~If peace had a smell, it would have been this morning.Fresh bread. Polished oak. Rain from last night still clinging to the stone courtyard.Everything felt… normal.Too normal.Alice sat across from me at breakfast.And she smiled.Not the sharp, sarcastic curl of her lips. Not the fake, venom-laced grin.A soft one.“I’m tired of fighting,” she said, buttering her toast. “It’s exhausting.”Duncan looked relieved. Actually relieved.Ky froze beside the window.I didn’t trust it.But I nodded anyway. “Me too.”Alice looked at me then. Really looked at me. Her gaze held something unreadable.“Maybe we can start over.”Start over.Like we weren’t standing on the ashes of something we once were.Duncan cleared his throat. “That would make this week easier.”This week.The mating ceremony.Alice’s eyes flickered for half a second.Then she smiled again.“Of course, Dad.”Dad.The word sounded deliberate.Carefully placed.After breakfast, she even walked beside me through th

    ~ Duncan POV ~I sat on the edge of my desk, the oak wood cool beneath my palm as I swirled the wine in my glass. The deep crimson liquid caught the firelight, glinting like something alive.I took a slow sip.In a week… I would be mated to Iris.My Luna.My destiny.My daughter’s best friend.My daughter’s ex-girlfriend.The thought landed heavier than the wine in my throat.That stung.I leaned back slightly, staring at the ceiling carved with ancestral wolves and crescent moons. Every Alpha before me had stood in this very office, faced war, betrayal, famine, rebellion. But I doubted any of them had faced this particular irony of fate.My daughter was not okay.Alice tried to act indifferent. Tried to hide behind sarcasm, rebellion, fire. But I knew her. I raised her. I knew the subtle shift in her voice, the extra edge in her laughter, the way her eyes hardened when Iris’ name was mentioned.She was hurting.And yet… I could not turn back.An Alpha cannot rule alone.Not truly.St

    ~ Iris POV ~The pack house buzzed quietly with preparation. The ceremony had been rescheduled, finally set for the full moon next week. Duncan was back,finally.and with him came the usual tension, the aura of command that made every heartbeat in the estate synchronize with his.Alice had returned to her sharp, watchful self. She moved through the house like a shadow, eyes flicking, calculating, assessing,but this time, she didn’t interfere. At least, not openly.Ky and I had carved out our small corner of the world in the midst of the chaos. We were preparing for the ceremony, but also protecting each other from everything else. From whispers, from old wounds, from the unpredictable tides of the pack. She moved through the rooms with a careful grace, always mindful of me, but free enough to make me laugh, even in these heavy days.And then he appeared.Duncan. Alpha. Dominant. Imposing. And yet, tonight, his presence carried a different energy. One that made the air itself shift,a st

    Iris' POVThe cell was cold.Not just the metal bench or the concrete walls but the kind of cold that crept into my bones and stayed there. I sat with my knees pulled to my chest, arms wrapped tightly around myself like that could somehow keep everything from falling apart.I couldn’t believe this

    ~AliceI swallowed hard, the words sticking in my throat like glass shards.Iris stood there, arms crossed loosely, waiting for whatever I had to say.I stared at my plate, fork pushing noodles around in circles.“I don’t have a good excuse,” I said finally, voice barely above a whisper. “There isn
