“Iris…”

That voice again. That awful, coaxing voice that had begun to haunt both my waking moments and the times I slept.

“Iris…”

I was lying on the floor, on the torn, dirty blanket I’d been provided. The floor was hard and uncomfortable, putting pressure on my injuries no matter the position I lay in.

My head throbbed and my skin burned with fever. The wounds I had were so many that I didn’t know which one the infection came from. I didn’t care to look. Not when I hurt on the inside just as much as I did on the outside.

“Iris.” The voice was growing more insistent, making it harder for me to differentiate my delusion from reality.

“No,” I mumbled under my breath. “Leave me alone.”

“Find me, Iris.”

“Leave me alone,” I repeated, rocking gently on the floor, trying to coax myself to sleep.

“What’s she saying?” A familiar male voice asked, making me open my eyes and look up.

Someone moved outside my cell.

“I have no idea. She keeps talking to herself, telling someone to leave

  • Spirit bound by the Alpha's curse   CHAPTER 54: CASSIAN

    How many men could say they'd been furious, and still absolutely horny? Because never in my life had I felt that way. I was furious at Max, at his wrong timing, and at why he felt confident enough to enter my house in the first place. And Goddess. Iris. I wanted her. She was the only woman I'd ever wanted in my life, and I had no idea if it was because she was in heat or not. All I knew was that I needed her badly enough that if she demanded it, I would fall on my knees and beg. She'd been so soft, so pliant in my arms. And the way her thighs had wrapped around my hips. Christ. I wanted nothing more than to spread those thighs and bury my face in the space between them. I was so engrossed in thinking about her that I almost didn't realize I was burning the breakfast I was preparing for her. Cursing under my breath, I tossed the contents of the pan away and started afresh, this time resolving to pay attention.Easier said than done. Even my pants seemed to be against me. I was

  • Spirit bound by the Alpha's curse   CHAPTER 53

    Cassian kissed like a man starved. The clash of our lips against each other was hot and electric. We both let out shocked, identical groans of pleasure. Then came the frantic need for more. His hands tightened around me, and my arms wrapped around his neck and pulled him closer, silently ordering him to give me more. I was heady with pleasure. He was everywhere. His thoughts, his scent, his feel. It all drove me fucking mad. Cassian invaded my mouth, his tongue and mine fighting for dominance for just a brief moment before I surrendered to him. His hand slowly slid down my waist, cupped my ass, and pushed me up a bit so he didn't have to bend so much to ravish my mouth. I complied with his demands, my hands beginning to move, tangling in his hair and trailing down his chest to take in as much of him as I could. I almost whimpered when Cassian tore his mouth away and stared at me with wide eyes that had desire swirling in them. "Cassian." With my eyes, I begged him for more. I

  • Spirit bound by the Alpha's curse   CHAPTER 52

    The next morning, I staggered down to breakfast, still confused about what the hell happened to me last night. I'd thought about it so much that I was almost convinced that it was a figment of my imagination. Or just a symptom of the heat. Maybe. Either way, the thought flew out of my head when I stepped into the kitchen and found Cassian at his usual spot making breakfast. He looked up when I entered, nostrils flaring, and I was immediately aware of just how little my shirt covered. I was wearing little shorts underneath, but nothing else. And the sight of Cassian shirtless... I gasped when his eyes met mine, and felt a sudden lightning flash of pleasure going straight to my breast. My nipples peaked, and the feeling of the shirt fabric sliding across them felt ten times more potent. I gulped. Slowly, Cassian's eyes dropped from my face down to my chest. I could see his pupils dilate. It looked like it took all his self control for him to look away. "Good morning," I murmured i

  • Spirit bound by the Alpha's curse   CHAPTER 51

    Instead of going back home after storming out of Cassandra's place, I found myself going deeper into the woods in the pack. I walked until I reached a little pocket of quiet in the forest. It was a little creek that seemed like it was in a world of its own. The water trickled gently, and I sat on the strip of land closest to the edge. A few wildflowers grew along the waters edge, giving the place a feeling of whimsy. I stayed here without realizing I'd fallen asleep. The sound of footsteps drawing near woke me up with a start, and the first thing I noticed was the heat. It felt like I had a fever. My skin felt uncomfortably hot and sensitive, and there was a slight sheen of sweat all over me. I stared at Cassian with wide eyes — he'd been the one approaching, and he stopped in his tracks and sniffed carefully. My eyes trailed down his body slowly, and I swallowed. He was clothed, but he might as well not have been. Why did his shirt have to hug his arms and muscles in that partic

  • Spirit bound by the Alpha's curse   CHAPTER 50

    Cassian and I were quiet as he led me out of the house. We walked through one of the paths that led into the pack, but this time, we went through more woods with houses and cottages interspersed through. Cassian walked to one of these cottages and knocked on the door. "Come in," a faint, female voice said from inside. He stepped aside, and gestured for me to go in, holding the door open for me. I wanted to ask if he wouldn't come in with me, but decided it didn't matter. I wanted answers too much. I stepped into the house. An old lady was sitting in an armchair that looked full to bursting, and a half crocheted blanket was in her lap. Balls of yarn sat on the floor beside her. She gave me a smile as I walked in, and I tried and failed to return it. "Good morning," I said. "What can I do f

    "Hugo isn't your father." I stared at the other three occupants of the room, wondering if this was their idea of a practical joke. It wasn't funny at all. "You really didn't know?" Max asked. Cassian looked serious. He was staring at me as if he also couldn't believe that I didn't know. "Okay, okay," I said, making a timeout gesture with my hands. "You can cut it out now. Seriously. It's not funny anymore. And really, how can you even make a joke like that? In what situation is it funny?" "It's not—" Lily started to say. I cut her off. "No. Max, I don't know what you may have heard about my parents, but it wasn't true. They weren't assholes who hurt me or anything. And whatever their faults may have been, they were still my parents. You don't get to say something like that to me just because you don't like them!" "Iris, we're not lying," Max insisted. "Everyone knows about this. You can go out there and ask
