When Iris was sent off at the age of sixteen to train with one of the most skilled Alpha's around, she believed surviving the training was going to be the most gruelling part, but it is when she returned home, the real trouble began. Soon to be Alpha Alban, was Iris's brother's best friend and someone Iris thought she could trust, until one day for seemingly no reason, he changed. He became sick and twisted towards her, beating anyone that came too close to Iris, hounding her with the most vicious insults which left her to sit alone wondering what could have happened. So, when the training had concluded and Iris was sent home, she was prepared to face off with the now Alpha, with the specialist training under her belt she was ready to take him on and show everyone she wasn't the same girl she was when she left. But that was all until she realised, this cruel Alpha was actually her mate. Hurt, angry and confused, she fights against Alban, who was more than surprised with Iris's change but possessively determined to keep her around. With past friends causing the deepest of jealousy, deadly secrets being revealed and a vigilante started by none other than the Alpha's brother, can Iris survive life with her new mate, or sink like a stone. Read on to find out.

“Mind your language in my house.” My father warned me with a pointed look, but I could only scoff a little turning to look at him with such annoyance. “Who cares about my fucking language, you want to throw me out anyway and into some pack with an Alpha and his son who I’ve never even met before miles away from here!” I shout throwing my arm in the air in hopes of presenting the distance, my mother only sighed looking down at the table while my father shook his head. “That is not what’s happening Iris, do you believe I want to send my sixteen-year-old daughter to a pack miles away from here, I most certainly, do not but we don’t have any other choice, you’re the only one we can send!” My father said trying to make it seem as though his hands were tied and there was nothing else we could do, but I knew that was far from being the case. “There are so many other people in this pack who would be more than happy to go in my place!” I reply with a look of shock that he hadn’t thought of this, I could list around twenty others off the top of my head who would be thrilled to take this opportunity. “We cannot simply send some regular pack member, the Alpha is hoping to build more bridges with The Full Moon Pack, they have many resources that would allow our pack to thrive, you’ll be helping our pack in such a great way Iris.” My father said much calmly getting out of his chair, whilst I could only shake my head in response. “So how is sending me, a sixteen-year-old girl over to their pack to allow them to try and train me going to really help this pack?!” I asked not seeing the point of packing my life up and training when all the resources are here before me, The Full Moon Pack wouldn’t gain anything from that. “Because the Alpha had said he wanted to see if our members have the ability to grasp such intense training in order to evaluate if joining forces with us would be in his better interests. We need someone who has the blood within them to take on the task, hunny you’ve got such powerful Beta blood running through your veins, you’ll thrive.” My father smiled pulling all the stops out to have me agree, but I wasn’t about to lay down and take what they were handing me without kick back. “Why can’t the Alpha send his diabolical son to receive this training, I mean he’s about to be Alpha of this place soon anyway, wouldn’t he need to have that type of training to be an adequate Alpha?” I asked crossing my arms over my chest with a look of disgust, even thinking about that man makes such anger pulse through me. “You know why the Alpha can’t send Alban, as you said he is about to be Alpha and needs to remain beside his father to learn the ropes. With your brother becoming his Beta, he also needs to stick around too and considering the Alpha didn’t have anymore reliable children, the responsibility has moved to you. We need you to do this hunny, if not for the Alpha or the pack, but for your mum and I, we can’t let the Alpha down, how awful would that make us as a Beta family look?” My father asked softly, now standing right in front of me with a look of plead on his face, where I could only sigh looking down. “How long?” Is all ask knowing I didn’t really have much choice but to agree, the Alpha had already made his decision and if I knew him as much as I did, he wasn’t one to go back on something once his mind was made up. But when my father didn’t go to tell me the answer straight away, I lift my head up watching as he turned to look at my mother, a look of nervousness on her face as she gazed back at him. “Five years.” Was all my father said after turning to look back at me, the look on his face seeming to be as though he was bracing for some kind of explosion, which I was sure to give him. “FIVE YEARS?! You’re sending me away to go and live with some strange Alpha’s for five years! I would have understood if it was a few months, but years!” I shout with such anger but also, disbelief that my family would seriously agree to sending me away for five years. “I know it seems like a long time hunny, but the Alpha wants to ensure you can be trained to the best of their abilities, by the time you come home, he is assuring us that you will be such a defined and invincible fighter. You’ll be so busy and having such fun that the years will fly by.” My mother smiled from the table as though this was going to be some big life changing happy experience, but she wasn’t the one being sent away from everyone and thing that she knows. “I don’t really have a choice do I, you guys have already sat around a table and decided my fate for me, thanks for having my back.” I sighed pushing away from my father when he went to give me a hug, I wasn’t in the mood. “Iris!” My father shouts after me as I leave the kitchen and run up the stairs, but my bedroom door slamming behind me told my father I wasn’t about to turn around and talk again. Pushing myself over to my window and taking seat, I couldn’t help the sadness that rippled through my chest, was I really being sent off to some pack miles away without any warning? I have a life here, friends and family that I didn’t want to leave and an education I was receiving at the local college. I had my whole life and the way I wanted to live it planned out in my head but now because some Alpha wants to conduct a little experiment, I was thrown into the deep end. The sound of three soft knocks on my door only makes me sigh and place my head against the cold glass window, I truly didn’t have the energy to speak about this anymore. “Go away.” I mumble thinking it was my father on the other end coming in to tell me what a great experience this would be but instead, my older brother Lincoln poked his head through the door. “Even me?” He asked with a little smile watching me, he knew even when we were at each others' throats, I’d never throw him out or ignore him. “Have you come to persuade me more saying how much of a good thing this is and how much experience I’m going to gain? Well, there’s no point, I know I don’t have a choice as the Alpha’s already decided I’m his guinea pig.” I sighed allowing him to see that I wasn’t going to put up a fight, there was no point, I wasn’t going to win. “I’m not here to persuade you to do anything, I’m simply here to talk to my little sister.” He said with a smile closing the door behind him, whilst I shook my head again moving my legs over so he could sit beside me. “It’s not fair, I seem to always be the fall guy for everything and now, I’m being forced away for another person's agenda and appearance. I’m going to miss so much, my birthday, your Beta title being handed to you.” I sighed looking over to him, where I was sent a sympathetic smile in response. “It is going to be hard at first, it’s a different experience with people you don’t know but what father said is right, this is a new experience for you, you are going to learn things from this Alpha that most would dream about learning. Yes, you may miss some things from here but you’re not leaving forever, when you return, we can celebrate it all in one big celebration. I’d want to see your face in the crowd when I take my title, but I know my little sister will be kicking ass over in The Full Moon Pack.” He said nudging me a little allowing me to laugh but still look down at the windowsill in front of us. “And hey, by the time you return, you’ll be able to drink more spicy beverages… if I allow you to though, you’re still my baby sister.” He joked before looking off with a little regret for what he said, which did finally, make me look up at him smiling. “I’ll tell you one thing, I’m gonna miss you.” I sighed feeling the sadness of even thinking about not being able to see Lincoln for five years budding in my emotions. “Not nearly as much as I’m gonna miss you.” He said wrapping his arm around my shoulders and placing a kiss on my head, where I could only lean more into the hug hoping to live in this feeling with my older brother a little longer. “This is going to make you Iris, when you return, you’ll be unstoppable.” He said holding me so tightly as we watched the rain beat the window. Lincoln as always was very right, I wouldn’t be the same person when I returned, but neither would many others.~Five Years Later~ The air was warm, and the sun shone brightly as I climbed the steps of the pack house, after a freezing winter the pack could finally, open all its windows and start throwing out all the dust and debris that collected over the winter months. The first day of warmth was always my favourite, seeing everyone with huge smiles on their faces as they cleaned their homes and watching all the pack children running around playing without having to wear five layers. It’s days such as this I truly appreciate the pack that Alban and I have built over the years, there were days when it was hard but now to see how happy each member is, it makes all the hours of stress and worry worth it. “After you Luna.” A kind pack member smiles allowing me to walk through the double doors first, sending him a kind smile as a thank you, I enter the busy lobby which was as happy and bright as the atmosphere outside. The curtains were wide open allowing the warm natural sun and warmth to ra
As we traveled upstairs towards the second level, the hallways were dark and empty, each person had either taken refuge downstairs or were in the basement hiding out the battle. My mind focused on one thing, getting to Max’s room. He unlike Alban, liked to stay in the pack house, he said it was because he didn’t have the urge to move out until he started a family but deep down I knew, he felt as though he had even more power over his pack members even while they were sleeping. So, when the double doors of his bedroom right at the very end of the hall came into the view, the bright lights from his bedroom illuminated his doorframe. Alban’s hand held tightly onto mine as we drew closer to the door, my anger growing higher and higher with each step. Past memories I once held dear to my heart flashed through my mind like some old movie script, images of Max and I messing about as we walked these very halls in the mornings after I’d seen the hounds. The times he would drunkly hang from
The journey to The Full Moon Pack ran such ahead of schedule, I was a little shocked when the border and the two guards who I knew very well came into view. Taking a deep breath in to calm my nerves and fully immerse myself in the headspace I needed to be in, I stare ahead at the border with my mind on the objective, find and deal with Max. The guards seemed a little shocked as we draw closer to the border as though we would storm right through but just as we were about to enter, we all came to an abrupt halt standing right at the border. “State your purpose!” One of the men Issac shouted drawing his sword from his belt, his eyes staring at the men before they land on me sat on the hound. “Iris?” He asked in a state of shock that he was actually seeing me, where I was sure to send him a little smile, even though I was planning to attack, his cooperation will be more than vital. “Hello Issac, I believe you are more than aware of why I am here with my Alpha and men. The reign of
The next week seemed to be one of the fastest weeks in all my life, the next day Alban and I announced our engagement to my family who were overjoyed and then to the pack, who also seemed to share the same sentiment. Another huge party was thrown to celebrate us that night, even though everyone seemed happy, I would catch the slight glances of fear when a guard would watch past the perimeter. Due to the way the last party ended of my Luna ceremony, Alban didn’t want to take any chances especially, with what we were doing to Max as the days progressed, he updated the guards patrols, luckily the party went on without a hitch and everyone was able to have a well deserved, uninterrupted celebration. The day after didn’t give us any time to rest, Alban, Lincoln and I spend the entire day in his office going over the plans of the new invasion against Max, the men we believed would be perfect for the task, the position of the hounds and what the plan was after we took control. By the end
Once I was carried home on Alban’s shoulders, instead of putting me on the ground, I was placed to sit on top of the kitchen counter whilst he dealt with the little burn like wounds on my palm. To me they weren’t that bad, I had received many of these the first few times Russell and I were tasked with checking Max’s water, yes, they can sting but after a few days, they heal completely. But Alban wasn’t having any of it and insisted he put some ointment on them with a bandage just as a precaution. So, I sat silently watching as my Alpha mate delicately wrapped a little white bandage around my palm, this giving my mind time to wonder. Of course it drifted to what we had all just done, the fact that it was me who tipped that liquid in to start the process, even though I knew it was the right thing to do and Max deserved it, I kept asking myself what past me would have thought. That morning that I stood outside of my car loading all of my boxes in to head home, I didn’t know what scar
The race between Alban and I still held firm as we entered our pack’s territory, many times throughout that race, we were neck and neck as neither of us wanted to back down. The clearing we had declared would be the finishing line soon came into view, seeing the end in sight, it only pushed me to go even faster where I began to draw ahead of Alban, a fact I know he didn’t like. Just before I could reach the clearing, a playful bite is sent to my back leg causing me to trip a little, this giving Alban the upper hand who raced ahead and entered the clearing winning the race. A growl left my lips as I arrived beside him, where a happy howl left his own, but I was beyond annoyed. Walking behind a tree and shifting, I put my clothes on before walking back out where he too had shifted and stood there about to place his shirt on. “You’re a fucking cheat!” I shout striding closer to him with an anger filled look, whilst he only shrugged his shoulders throwing his shirt over one shoulder
With the tube still sitting in my hand with the liquid that would start this entire process, I felt as though I had so many things swirling around my head. It was my idea to do this and it’s something I knew needed to happen, but it was as though my body was frozen. What Max did to me more times than I know of was beyond awful, he took advantage when I could not only not fight him off but didn’t even know it was happening. He threw any care he felt towards me out of the window to get what he wanted; he deserved this. But that nagging voice inside of me asked if this was the correct way, maybe I should allow the W.M.O to take charge and deal with Max, but could I stand in that courtroom and give my testimony and hear him try to defend his actions? “He took away from us something which was only mates to take, allow mate to take his life as a consequence.” My wolf tells me in my mind after hearing the battle I was having, but her words seeming to spur me on. Holding my head up, I t
After going over the second half of my marvellous plan, all men agreed my approach would not only be the most successful but also, swift enough so the W.M.O will never be able to catch wind of it beforehand. Alban allowed Russell to use one of the packs labs where he was able to brew The Deadly Sleeping Drought in under an hour, the clear liquid soon placed in a thin glass test tube and in a protective bag so it wouldn’t spill. We all agreed that the quickest and stealthiest way for us to travel to The Full Moon Pack would be in wolf form, so around two hours after I had disclosed my amazing plan, we were all stood at the edge of the border with bags in our hands holding the spare clothes for us to wear so we wouldn’t have to walk around in the nude. “I’ve just realised, you haven’t seen me in wolf form yet, I had shifted while I was away and due to that stupid order, which should really be lifted by now, I haven’t been able to.” I smiled over to Alban as he dug through his bag
Walking into Alban’s office, he sat behind his desk with his leg bouncing in anger and impatience as he waited for me to return. Lincoln sat to the side of him seeming to read a bunch of maps that I had asked from him whilst Russell, sat off to the side seeming to jot down some information. “How did it go?” Alban asked as I closed the door behind me, all eyes seeming to move away from whatever the rest were doing as I stood in the middle of the room. “I sorted it, everything is being moved to a specific location where as soon as you’re ready, you can go see it all. No one held any malice towards what they were doing, yes, some people didn’t like Polly, and most were scared but she was still once this packs Luna. Your father and her did great things for this pack; people are grieving that side of things. People grieve in different ways, and none are the wrong way.” I smiled walking deeper into the room hoping to calm his anger down, he wasn’t doing this out of spite or true anger,
