DRACO.

I held Iris’ hand as we walked down the stairs to the basement of Meridian’s house. I was preparing myself for the worst, but after a few minutes of staying there and with her busy scanning a book while talking with Iris, my chest began to calm down.

But I still kept my guard up.

I listened as Meridian taught her about manas and energies and where she could channel them. Then, she began the crash course on chants and magic. While Iris listened and watched intently as Meridian performe

Draco fell for Iris the minute he saw her at her parent’s house because she had already touched him and activated their bond. Even though they took her wolf, their bodies were still connected. Can’t wait for her wolf to return, I hope she gives Felicity hell, along with her fae. Adessa will help.

Interesting piece of information about his previous interest in Iris. That explains why he was so willing to take her with him when he saw her again at Constantine’s.

  • THE SUBSTITUTE LUNA   Chapter 198

    PRINCE VAIDAS. Our friendship blossomed from that day, and I just found myself coming back almost every day so we could spend time together. Cassiopeia was a century old when I met her, but as a fae, it meant she had just turned of age. I was only seventeen then, so technically, I was still a year younger than she was. But with how vulnerable and innocent she was, I felt older, and I took it upon myself to teach her about the ways of humans. All along, I thought she was a light fae. I had no idea she was the opposite—a dark fae—someone I was not supposed to interact with or trust.It took time before she finally confessed that she was dark fae, and I knew I should have turned my back on her. Dark faes were known enemies of the werewolves, but I was already too invested in her. Not just in friendship, but in something more, something deeper. My young heart fell in love with Cassiopeia, and it eventually led to intimacy. I had no idea why she was glowing every time we had sex. She

    PRINCE VAIDAS.FLASHBACK. “Damn it! I should be doing something else rather than wasting time getting lost in this forest.” I grunted before using my heel to kick my horse, but instead of speeding up, he lagged more. He was tired. And he probably knew we were just going in circles. I could just stop and wait until someone realized I was missing, and a search party would be out to find me. But the fact that my parents—the King and Queen of Nazeer—were already used to not seeing me around the palace, they would never think I was in danger. Unless someone from my school calls them and says that I have been missing school for many days. But then, my professors were also used to my absence from their class, so that call would probably have happened if I had missed school for two weeks. So that would be a long wait before someone looked for me.Why the fuck did I think going into this vast forest was a good idea? Of course, it was. I was born for adventure, but this fucking adventure was

    IRIS.“Can we see her now?” I asked.“We can do that later. Let me show you first the progress and the findings we have.” He smiled as he placed the clipboard on a table and grabbed the remote control before pointing it at a VCR. “It will give you an overview and a basic idea of how the project is evolving, as well as the next processes in place…” Dr. Henry kept talking excitedly, unaware that we had no plans to sponsor this project and that this research would end tonight. “That can wait. We want to see the main subject.” Dad’s voice remained cold. I knew he was upset and he was struggling to keep a professional tone. I saw the disappointment that crossed the face of Dr. Henry. He was excited to share what might have been a prepared presentation, but he couldn’t deny Dad’s request. He motioned with his hand and guided us to the last door, where Mom was. “This room is colder than the rest of the laboratory, but the suit you are wearing should be enough to regulate your temperature.

    IRIS.The elevator pinged and my eyes widened. I didn’t realize we had reached the area we were supposed to go to. Draco had probably sensed the shift in my emotions because his arm encircled my waist, and he pulled me closer to his side. “Relax. I’m here. I’ve got you.” He whispered, pressing his lips against my hair. I nodded, smiling to myself because I believed him.After everything we went through, just knowing he was with me today was enough. Because even if we ended up in a bad scenario, I knew we could find a way out because Draco was with me. My heart thundered as the two men waiting for us outside the elevator introduced themselves as the main partners for this research. They had no idea we were here to take their prime subject home. All they knew was that we wanted to see firsthand how the project was doing. “How did you know she was a fae?” Dad asked, snapping me back to the present. We were already walking, and the two with us were pointing and gesturing where we shou

    PRINCE VAIDAS.The days went by, and I had spent more time in the Knight Stone Pack than in our Kingdom. I was invited to move into their home, which I accepted, but my days were mostly spent alone, coordinating our visit to the enterprise. My father’s request was met with inhibition. Since it was classified research, they wanted to know where the information came from. I had no idea what my father told them but the permit to enter the facility was finally handed to me after almost a week of waiting. There were only three passes given—for Iris, Draco, and me. My father insisted on more men to come with us, but the research facility wanted fewer people to know about the research. After assuring my father we were okay and that we could protect Iris, he finally agreed. But he told me he was sending Brute to look after Iris on that day. It was a big risk on his end, as his guardian never left him unless Brute had his own mission. But it also went to show how much my father wanted to m

    PRINCE VAIDAS. Iris’ existence came as a big, pleasant surprise, but the mood immediately dampened when Draco told me that they thought Cassiopeia’s body was being used for research in a laboratory in the South—the Victus Laboratory Enterprise. I was still trying to get a grip that she was already dead, but the idea that someone was using her body for an experiment had me in pieces. I spent many hours contemplating my next move before I was able to make a decision. I needed my father, King Avlan of Nazeer, involved. He mainly never interferes with anything within his jurisdiction as long as they never violate any werewolf rules.He had no reason to shut down this facility, but he could help us gain entrance if he wanted to. And the only reason I could think of for him to help me was letting him know that Iris was my daughter. I only needed to prove it. And once I did, I would tell him that as Iris’ mother, Cassiopeia needed to be respected even in death. If I had wanted Iris to b

    IRIS.“The last one died a month ago,” Delta Liam answered nonchalantly.I swallowed, and I felt the color drain from my face. I had so many questions, but I wasn’t sure if I had the right to ask. “Enough, Liam. Don’t terrify her more,” Beta Roman said as he grabbed my elbow. “Let’s go. The Alpha m

    IRIS. I stepped back, preparing myself to turn around and run away when I saw his jaw clenching and his Adam’s apple move. His coiled fist tightened, but his eyes remained expressionless.“Alpha…” I was about to thank him before leaving, but for some reason, instead of saying those words, my feet t

    IRIS. “It smells like you, Alpha.” I did my best not to smile, but in reality, this simple act made me happy. “It’s my bath scent. I thought maybe a manly scent would fare better on your nose than those sweet, feminine ones. It’s Bergamot and Cedarwood. Do you think you can bathe with this?”I wan

    IRIS.“How did you sleep?” The Alpha asked as soon as I sat at the breakfast table. I was glad I woke up early and was already helping in the kitchen when he came down to eat.He then invited me to join him. It was just the two of us. “I slept well, Alpha. Thank you. The pillows are so soft, and t
