IRIS

“Three days have already gone by.”

The words leave my lips before I can stop them.

Don’t tell me you’re thinking about him again. Daisy tries to nudge me with her elbow as we walk through campus toward class. The morning is bright and soft on our skin, the halls buzz with noise, but all of it feels distant.

“I just thought he’d say something,” I murmur, keeping my gaze straight ahead. “Anything.”

Daisy sighs. “Iris, they’re Lycan princes. It’s not like they punch a clock and show up to college like the rest of us. They’ve got... stuff. Rogue wars. Council meetings. Training. God knows what else.”

“I know,” I say, but I don’t feel like I know.

Because the truth is, I haven’t just been waiting for Adrian’s help.

I’ve been impatient. Restless.

I wanted to see Darian. So bad that I’ve stopped caring about explanations or logic. I just want to be near him.

It’s like something is pulling me, yanking me closer to him. A magnetic pull that I don’t understand, like my enti

  • Marked by the Lycan Prince   Chapter 129

    IRISI wake up the next morning to the sound of his soft breathing against my hair. I look up to catch a glimpse of his face and boy, is he beautiful. Beautiful and mine. “What’re you looking at, princess?” He speaks before he opens his eyes to catch my gaze. A smile spreads across my lips almost immediately. He kisses my forehead, my cheeks and the moment he catches my lips in a hot kiss, the knots in my stomach twist and turn. The kiss very quickly transcends into an intense, fiery and slurpy kiss, tongues dancing against each other. One second, I’m lying against his chest, lips interlocked and the next second, I’m on top of him. I gasp at the quickness of the change in position. I’m already breathless from the kiss. He adjusts me on him and a sharper gasp slips from my lips when I feel his bulge between my legs. He smirks at my reaction. “Can you feel how much I want you, princess?” I nod once. “Words, princess.”“Yes,” I say breathlessly. And he kisses me again, and thi

  • Marked by the Lycan Prince   Chapter 128

    IRISThe room is quiet except for the sound of our breathing.The fire has burned low, painting the walls in gold and shadow, and for a long time neither of us speaks. Darian’s hand is warm in mine. His thumb traces slow circles across my skin as if memorizing me by touch alone.I should feel calm. Safe. But beneath the quiet, something inside me is shifting, like a storm gathering just beneath my ribs.His eyes search mine. “You don’t have to do this tonight,” he says softly. “You’ve been through enough.”But I shake my head before I even realize I’m doing it. “I need to. I can feel it inside me, pushing. It’s like I’ll break apart if I don’t.”He studies me for a moment, and I see the struggle in him, the protector and the prince, the man who wants to keep me untouched by the darkness he lives in. Then he nods once, the movement slow, resigned, reverent.“All right,” he murmurs. “Then I’m yours to claim.”My pulse stutters. The words feel heavier than they should, ancient somehow, l

    DARIANI carry her into my chambers, her weight light despite the bruises and dirt clinging to her skin. Every muscle in my body tenses, every thought screaming at me that she’s alive, and that’s all that matters right now. I set her gently on the bed, hands brushing over her trembling shoulders as I check for cuts, scratches, signs of the fight she endured.“You’re safe,” I murmur, voice low and raw. “You’re okay. I’ve got you.”Her eyes, wide and wary, meet mine. She tries to smile, but it falters almost immediately. I want to tell her it’s over, that she doesn’t have to fight anymore, but the memory of her being dragged, the fear I felt hearing her cries, still burns in me.I reach for the ruined clothing sticking to her skin. My hands are careful, gentle, lifting the tattered fabric away without pulling at her wounds. Every scrape, every bruise, every tear in her clothes fuels the fire in me. I want to erase it all. I want to burn down the world that dared touch her.“Let me help

    ADIRAI can’t breathe.The moment the Lycan King’s voice declared Iris would live, something in me snapped. It’s like the ground itself shifted beneath my feet. Every plan, every whisper, every careful move I’ve made for years, gone. Torn to shreds in a single heartbeat.I stalk down the long corridor, my heels striking the marble hard enough to echo. The guards I pass lower their gazes, stepping aside, but I can feel their judgment burning into my back. Let them look. Let them whisper. I don’t care.My hands shake as I shove open the next set of doors. The scent of cedar and steel fills my nose. Zeus’s room. I don’t even bother to knock.He’s sitting near the window, a glass of amber liquid in his hand, moonlight cutting across his sharp jawline. He looks up, startled, his golden eyes narrowing. “I’m pretty sure you were taught to have manners.” he snaps. “You don’t just barge into my private chambers!”“You promised me the crown!” I shout.The words tear out of me, raw and wild. I d

    DARIANThe silence is unbearable.I can still hear my own words ringing in my head; Exile me. Strip me of my title. Just let her live.They hang in the air like smoke, thick and choking, filling every corner of the throne room.No one moves. No one breathes. The world feels frozen, caught between one heartbeat and the next.My father’s eyes are on me. Cold. Calculating. But there’s something else there too, something I’ve never seen before. Not anger. Not disdain. Something heavier.He exhales slowly, the sound loud in the stillness.Then he does the unthinkable.He pulls the sword away from Iris’s throat.The crowd gasps as he lowers it completely, the silver blade gleaming harmlessly at his side. His hand falls away from her shoulder. He steps back.For a second, I don’t believe what I’m seeing. My brain can’t process it. I stare, unmoving, waiting for the catch, for the cruelty, the trick, the punishment.But he just stands there, breathing hard, his gaze unreadable.I stumble to m

    DARIANMy heart feels like it’s being ripped out of my chest.I can still hear her voice echoing in my head; “I love you.”The sound of it breaks something inside me, something I didn’t know could still break.She’s on her knees before him, the silver edge of his sword still raised, and I can’t move fast enough. The guards dig their claws into my arms, but I barely feel it. My blood roars in my ears. I can’t let this happen. I won’t.“Let her go!” I snarl, shoving one of them off. My voice comes out rough, distorted. Too close to the wolf. My pulse hammers against my skull, and I feel the burn, the shift, crawling just beneath my skin.My father doesn’t even look at me. His gaze is locked on her, his sword gleaming in the torchlight. “She is a danger to the pack,” he says, his tone like ice. “She must die, Darian.”“She’s not a danger!” I roar. The sound shakes the walls, my voice cracking with the force of it. “You’re blinded by your damn prophecies and lies! You don’t see anything e
