last update Last Updated: 2025-02-12 18:57:15

Waking up the next morning back at home in my own bed, I truly felt more lost than I ever did back at The Full Moon pack. Leading up to this point when I knew I would need to head home, I did worry that I’d get like this. I felt so at home there and knew everyone and knew I had a place in the world, but now being in this pack again, it was as though everyone had moved on with their lives and here I was, seeming to go back to where I was when I left, I didn’t have a place anymore.

As I sat up in bed looking out of the window with such sadness in the pit of my stomach, I realised I hadn’t messaged Max after returning home and worried he’d either get worried himself or feel as though I had simply forgotten about him because I was back home. Throwing my blankets off and grabbing my phone which sat on charge beside me, I write:

“Sorry I didn’t text last night, once I returned home, I hadn’t stopped. I’m back safe but I miss you so much.”

Once I hit send, all I could do was sigh and l

    My eyes began to flutter closed the longer I sat on the sofa, I had only been awake for some hours but due to the amount of crying I had done in that short amount of time, my eyes stung and begged me to rest them. Feeling as though I didn’t have much else to do, I was ready to oblige and take my first nap in my parent's house, but the front door beginning to knock three booming times jolted me forward. My heart pounded in my chest from the shock of this sudden visitor, my hands seeming to grip the armrests of the sofa as though that was going to aid me in anyway. The repeated knocks on the door once I hadn’t even rose from the sofa yet to get the door snaps me from my delirious state, I believe that is what led me to get up from the chair and quickly walk towards the door without taking much thought as to who could be waiting on the other side. But that seemed to all change when I reached for the handle and pulled open the door, only to reveal the very same Alpha I had locked ey

    The longer Alban’s body lay pressed against mine, the more those burning desire feelings took over my senses but also, the less air I was able to take in due to my whole body getting pressed against the hardwood flooring. “Do not get me wrong little mate, I do enjoy a little fight, it simply excites me for the punishments I can bestow upon you with my own special weapon.” He whispered right by my ear which only allowed my wolf to howl in excitement and me to attempt to move myself but due to the position, I couldn’t get very far. “You’re…. such a… dick.” I manage to reply not able to get a full breath of air in my lungs due to his body weight and the floor sandwiching me in place, but even with this I wasn’t going to allow him to win. “That is exactly right little mate, one you will greatly enjoy when the time comes, I wonder if it will be now.” He whispered even closer to my ear but this time, a little piece of his saliva falls from his lips and lands on my cheek, this sending

    I couldn’t shake the feeling of dread which washed over my body when Alban had my phone in his possession and I didn’t, I knew there wasn’t anything incriminating on those messages between Max and I, but I worried how this Alpha would take some of them. “Iris, I was beginning to grow worried the longer that I hadn’t heard from you, I miss you more than you could ever imagine and wish for you to be close to me again. Let me know how you’re settling in and just know, the offer still stands.” Alban said reading the message that Max had written, due to what I had led Alban to believe, some of the things in that message didn’t seem to sit well with him as he let out a growl. “What offer is this grotesque man referencing?” He asked looking away from my phone and down at me with that same look of anger, where I simply rolled my eyes in response. “That is no business of yours.” I say not faulting in my response at all, where a sick little laugh escapes Alban’s lips as though he was mock

    Lincoln had just concluded the last of his meetings for the day, all he had to do now was set up Albans office and see if he had any other orders for him that day. After seeing how little the Alpha had scheduled for that day himself, he knew it was likely they would both clock off early which would give Lincoln time to head over and speak with Iris. He believed they all knew what a harsh adjustment it would have been for Iris once she returned, but he didn’t think he truly considered the emotional adjustment aspect. He could see she had made some great friends while she was away which would make it hard to leave but added onto the fact that so much has changed in this pack since she left, he could see why she was feeling lost. So, as her older brother, he wasn’t going to stop until he saw she found her purpose once again. But his hope for an early clock off was soon thrown from the window when Alban walked in, a deep scowl on his face as he throws the office door open and slams it

    I waited in my room for the remainder of the day and even dead into the night, my mother had asked if I wanted dinner, but I simply said I wasn’t hungry and turned around to the window. I still couldn’t believe I had found myself in this position, not even a week ago I was happily sitting in my bed back at The Full Moon Pack, knowing I had my freedom and people around me who actually cared and wanted the best for me. But now I’m stuck in a place which doesn’t feel like home, the sense of purpose taken from my mind as some stupid order to keep me in the pack hung over my head. There was nothing I could do about my life now, it was fully in the hands of Alban, my unfortunate mate. As I looked out the window at the beautiful full moon in the sky, all I could do was sigh, I truly didn’t know what else I could do. “Accept mate.” My wolf suggests in my head letting me know what she wanted, which only caused me to sigh even more placing my head against the wall behind me. “It’s not t

    Alban was peacefully sleeping in bed when he suddenly, jolted awake in a panic looking around the room. He didn’t quite understand what had awoken him and forced him into this kind of state, but his wolf also seemed to be on edge. “Something has happened, I do not know what, but it is bad.” His wolf tells him in a panicked but protective stance, this alerting Alban as he reached up and wiped the sweat from his face. “I am not receiving any distress alerts from our border guards.” Alban began to try and rationalise why he may have awoken suddenly, but his comment only allowed his wolf to growl that much more loudly. “I am not talking about the pack, you fucking moron! I’m speaking about mate; I can feel something has happened to her, so you need to check her immediately!” His wolf growls ferociously due to Alban not understanding what he meant right away, but now he was aware, Alban wasted no time. He throws the covers from his legs and bounds out of bed, with the freezing temp

    After rushing into the hospital and shouting orders at the many doctors and nurses to help Iris, Alban stood in the corner of her private room with his arms folded watching as the doctors and nurses rushed around to help her. Albans eyes trained on the places the male doctor in particular would touch, if this man slipped up and touched his mate in the wrong areas, this man would be needing a doctor himself. To Alban, none of what had happened made sense, his mind racing with the unknowns of why his mate had been walking in that section of the woods alone and at night. While searching the area for her, he didn’t see, smell or sense another person around, could they have intentionally, hurt Iris and fled before they could be captured? All of his questions would need to wait until Iris awoke, but that didn’t mean his anger didn’t start to boil from the situations he was building in his own mind. The doors flying open and Lincoln, running into the room, fully out of breath with huge b

    The constant sound of some mechanical beep from somewhere around me begins to break me from the overwhelming darkness I found myself in. The longer I remained in that state, the more I began to slowly feel the world around me, it was as though I had lost control of my body but with each passing second, I was gaining the control back slightly. With that, other sounds from wherever it was that I found myself in began to sound, a tapping noise resembling a shoe tapping onto marble flooring was to the right of me. The distant noises of hustling and bustling seeming to sound from another room and what appeared to be the ticking from a clock. But what sort of brought me out even more was the pressure of a hand taking my arm, it wasn’t in a forceful way or even to move my arm, but someone holding me as though it would bring comfort. Knowing I wasn’t alone in whatever room I was in brought me much more comfort and spurred me on even more to wake myself if I was asleep. With that, I use

    Once Alban allowed himself to cry for so many heartbreaking minutes, I headed downstairs to brew him a coffee, hoping I would be able to work out his professional set up and not have boiling coffee fly at my face. In the mists of me studying all of the many dials and hoping one was going to burst into some kind of song indicating it was the one I had to use, someone walking into the kitchen causes me to jump. “I didn’t mean to startle you, I just came to see if I could grab a glass of water before meeting your brother.” Russell who I’d forgotten was here said by the door, where I simply sent him a smile before staring back at the coffee machine. “It’s okay, I was just making Alban a coffee, if I’m able to work out this scientific machine that is.” I reply with a frustrated sigh, I wanted to try and lift Alban’s spirits but if I mess up, I may make him choke. “Allow me to help, back at The Full Moon Pack before training each day, the kitchen staff would allow me in to make a co

    Alban continued to stare at me with confusion in his face but also, a hint of anger as though Russell saving my life while I was away was some sort of betrayal. “What do you mean he saved your life?” He asked in a growl like tone looking down at me, where I simply shook my head going to move away from him, but he stopped me. “I have more important things to discus with you than something that happened in the past that doesn’t really matter anymore-.” I began to try and push it away but when I’m lifted back up on the counter, I knew Alban wasn’t about to let this go. “I will decide what is important enough to discus with me and right now, you explaining how this rouge saved your life and pushed you into some kind of debt with him started?” He asked repeating that unless I told him what I meant with Russell, he wasn’t going to allow either of us to move. “Russell doesn’t see it as though I’m in his debt, he’s actually told me multiple times that he doesn’t want anything back for

    Sparks spreading throughout my face gently pulls me out of my sleeping state, after all that happened yesterday and the late hour that I managed to fall asleep, the last thing I wanted to do was wake up in that moment and attempted to ignore it all. Until long kisses were placed along my jaw and neck snapping my eyes open in a second, Alban lay on my chest with a smile on his face watching me. “Glad of you to join me.” Alban smiled his voice deep from sleep whilst I rolled my eyes at his comment before attempting to fall back into dreamland. “Five more minutes.” I groan sinking my face further into the pillow in hopes of blocking the rest of the noise out, I was still very much exhausted from the party and everything in between. “I would always opt to remain in bed tangled up with you but wasn’t it you who said we had a lot to get done today, with your Luna duties and whatever it is you are planning?” Alban asked with a chuckle at my desire to fall back to sleep, where each and

    Using the rush of adrenaline and anger that I felt for what these assholes did to my mate, I grab the first who attempted to throw an arrow at me and claw at his neck until he landed dead on the floor. With such a swift kill, I saw his friends look at me a little shocked before getting to action, one man ran at me with a sword of his own, which I managed to kick out of his hand and plunge Samuel’s dagger right into his chest, moving it up so it caused the most damage, I kick him back and allow him to bleed out alone. One by one each man attempted to take me down, but were met with my anger filled hits and bites, as I ripped each man apart, grabbing one man by the scruff of hid neck, I smashed his head so hard off a tree, the old wooden tree fell to the floor with his head bedded inside. When my back was turned, one man grabbed me and attempted to slit my throat, but what ease, I break all the fingers in his hand and throw him over my shoulder, using his own weapon to impale him as

    Polly’s huge brown wolf began growling in uncontrollable anger, its midnight black eyes indicating to us that Polly was no longer the person pulling the strings, her wolf had taken full control and was more than willing to rip apart anyone who came close to her. I remained behind Alban, his entire body shielding mine from the danger as my hand gripped his shoulder, Lincoln stood off to the side in his Beta pose preparing for an attack the wolf might unleash on him. Russell had moved off to the side a little assessing the situation and seeing if he could find a way around it while Samual, who had attempted to hurt Polly, lay by a tree unconscious. “What are we going to do?” I whispered gripping onto Alban’s shoulder for dear life, the way Polly’s wolf prowled was evident of how dangerous it was, she truly had nothing to lose and that’s the most dangerous thing. “Whatever happens, that wolf isn’t going to quit until it’s forced to.” Lincoln said walking sideways but ensuring not t

    The already dead and dark wood slipped into even more deafening silence as each person attempted to understand what Alban had just said, I didn’t know if this was him also attempting to pull the wool over Samuel’s eyes as he just watched Russell do, or he was serious, but I was left watching my mate more unsure than anything. “You ain’t gonna fool me Alpha, I wasn’t born yesterday, even though you’re my younger brother and you’re one of the only people I love, I don’t trust you. Polly is your mother also and someone as I have seen, you put over everyone else’s safety to help.” Samual scoffed shaking his head at his brother not seeming to fall for Alban’s tricks, who simply shook his head with a sigh staring at Polly who shook with fear behind him. “That was once the truth, I admit I have witnessed the way in which mother treats the pack members and simply believed that is how a Luna runs her pack. But that was all before I was able to see how my mate does, she feels nothing but lo

    My breath came out sharp and fast as I squeezed so hard onto that tree branch, my legs crossing over one another praying that the branch would hold my weight a little longer. But it wasn’t just me who could be out in the open, Russell lay on the floor right at the base of the tree with the snapped rope behind him, Samual continuing to take steps closer to the tree and him. It wouldn’t take him much to spot Russell sat in a heap by the tree with the rope and connect the dots and spot me dangling on a branch, we of course had the training to stop him but with that blade and the amount of harmful substances around him, we couldn’t risk so much going wrong. That’s also something we were taught in training, of course you do not show any fear when going into battle and trust your instincts and training, but don’t simply walk into each situation looking for a fight. If you are to just face each battle the same way, that would be deadly. No two individuals are the same which would also me

    Following behind Russell who held the map in his hands, we continue deep into the dark but also, eerily silent wood. I didn’t know if it was because I knew who was hiding within the thick trees with his dangerous plot or the time of night butI felt myself draw closer to Alban a little more, worried for not only Polly’s life but also, ours too. Alban realised this and didn’t seem to mind wrapping his arm around me, even though Russell was slowly proving himself as trustful with the help, with what he had done not hours before, it was clear he would much rather Russell had remained in that dungeon and him think of the most awful of punishments he could bestow upon him. “Alright, they’re around a mile ahead.” Russell informed us all but this time, kept his voice down in case Samual was close by waiting for Alban to send some men to stop it. “What’s the plan?” Lincoln asked also keeping his voice down but ensuring his eyes snapped from side to side surrounding us, we didn’t need a s

    Once everything that I’d asked for was lay before me on the table and I was now out of my beautiful but dirty dress from the party and into some fresh clothes, I watch as Russell began to brew the first concoction which was going to help us locate Polly. Richard, who hadn’t woken up since his fight with a table was taken by my parents to the hospital to make sure he didn’t have any injures whilst Lincoln and Alban both waited behind me, both still dressed in their suits from the party which now after everything, seems like days ago. I could feel and see that Alban wasn’t the happiest of Alpha’s in this moment, the guy he had seen fighting me was now stood right beside him working away as though nothing was amiss. “Alright the hyper focus antidote which you are to drink is almost done brewing, now with the information of what you were able to see in that bag is pointing towards a poison called The Death Watcher, it’s given that name as it’s deadly, anyone who drinks that will die i
