IRIS.

As much as I wanted to stay with Draco in our own bubble, we had to face reality, and we knew we couldn’t stay here. We had gotten what we wanted—the rejection. And having my wolf back was already a big gift I would never take for granted.

I was still reeling in the feeling of things finally falling into place for me when we returned to the palace. We were advised that they were at the King’s Cross Hospital. After we were given clean clothes, we met with Roman and drove to the hospital.

The step mom is the one that caused it all. She got a hold of a witch and stole Iris’s wolf from her and took Draco from her

  • THE SUBSTITUTE LUNA   Chapter 222 - Until You

    DRACO.“Iris will come back to life with no memory of you, or the human life she had. She will only have beautiful memories of her childhood with Prince Vaidas and Queen Cassiopeia.” Selene told me and it took a while before the words sank in.“She deserves that…” I told her, meeting her eyes.“She can fall in love with anyone she will meet along the way.”“I will not get to meet her again in this lifetime. Is that right?” My tears fell and as much as I didn’t want that, I had no choice. This was the better option for Iris.“Swear to me, Draco, that you will not do anything to find her.”“Is this a test? To see if I’m a good man and I can keep my promise? I’m going to fail, Selene. I’m impatient and selfish. I know this is the reason she was taken from me, because you think she deserves better than me.”“I would not give her to you as your mate if I thought she deserved another man.”“And why are you taking her away from me?”“In time, you will understand. But for now, I want you to p

  • THE SUBSTITUTE LUNA   Chapter 221 - An Unexpected Visit

    DRACO.I took Iris’ body from the palace and teleported us to the portal that would take us out of the Wicker Forest. Iris and I had made this journey many times, so I knew where to go and where it would take us.I thought I would get caught, but everything went according to my plan. I was able to take her home—back to our bedroom. But nothing had changed. “What are you planning to do now?” Roman asked. It took a while for him to grasp what was happening, and although he was more composed than I was, I knew he was also devastated by the news I carried. “I don’t know,” I mumbled as I closed my eyes. Roman had never seen me cry but there was no sense hiding the pain. He knew Iris was my whole world. “I’m sorry, Alpha.” His voice came out low. “You can leave. I want to be alone. I don’t want to talk to anyone today or tomorrow.”“I will take care of everything. Take as much time as you need.”I nodded my head and didn’t look at him, but I listened as he walked away. His footsteps

  • THE SUBSTITUTE LUNA   Chapter 220 - Leaving Her Behind

    DRACO.In the blink of an eye, my whole world was turned upside down. If I only knew Iris’ life would be taken so early, I wouldn’t have taken her to the Kingdom of Absalom. I wouldn’t have desired to get healed from my infertility. I desired so much. Now, I was left with nothing. The only person who loved me for me was gone. And I had no idea how I would survive after this. Iris’ body was floating in the same spot where the Orebrus had been before, with the beautiful pond below her. This time, the water was sparkling, and the whole area looked ethereal—deserving to hold the body of my mate.Iris looked beautiful and immaculate in a white, flowing dress. A white dress I had imagined she would be wearing on our wedding day, not for her death. She looked the same as when she was alive. But I knew it was not the same female I fell in love with. Her smile was missing, and her warmth was gone. And it was all my fault. If I had been content with the life I already had with her, if I

  • THE SUBSTITUTE LUNA   Chapter 219 - Thank You

    PRINCESS ADESSA.“I helped you, but I didn’t ask you to kill the man I glowed for!” Meridian was screaming like a lunatic and it was too late for everyone to react. She was behind Iris, her arm turned into intertwined branches and stabbed Iris in the back, targeting her heart. Draco’s claws erupted out as an agonizing growl ripped past his throat. He grabbed Meridian’s head, ripping it from her neck while Brute clawed her heart out. She was left heartless and headless but was still attached to Iris by her branches and they both fell to the ground. Blood was pouring from Iris’ mouth, her eyes and mouth wide open as she stared at Draco, tears trickling down her face.Blood seeped into the front of her clothes, and although I couldn’t see the branches, it was already an indication that Meridian’s branches ripped her chest open as well.Screams were everywhere but Draco’s growls drowned them as he dropped to his knees before Iris. “No! No!” Draco bellowed, his hands kept moving, not k

  • THE SUBSTITUTE LUNA   Chapter 218 - The Imperial Kingdom

    DRACO.I listened to everything discussed and planned, observing everyone as they shared their inputs. I didn’t suggest anything as they seemed to have a solid plan. To be honest, I just wanted to get this over and done. I just wanted to take Iris back home and start with the simple life I promised her. She had no plans of staying in the Wicked Forest, and nothing had changed even after her mother came back to life. She was willing to go there to visit her, but she wanted a life with me—as my wife and the Luna of our pack—and that was what I wanted too. Everything was already in the palms of our hands, but we needed to fix this one last thing before we could fully start our lives together. I had no idea what Vaidas’ plans were, but I could tell he had no intention of being away from Cassiopeia anymore. I would leave that part for them to decide. But first, we need to finish this task. We entered the Wicked Forest without any restraints. Like Kael, Adessa, and I, when we first ente

  • THE SUBSTITUTE LUNA   Chapter 217 - A Mother's Promise

    IRIS.Mama didn’t even have time to mourn her memory and family that were taken from her because we needed to keep moving.Eox was dead, and it was only a matter of time before chaos arrived in Wicker Forest once the faes thought no one would be stepping up to lead them. That could start a war within the forest, especially if there were dark faes who wanted to take charge. So we needed to return there as soon as possible, so they knew an Imperial Dark Fae still existed—the rightful heir to the throne. But we couldn’t just go there without reinforcement.Although Mama was powerful, she was not sure how much of what she remembered of the forest was still the same. And I was just as useless on anything about that world, except for the power I held. So I was left with no choice but to ask for help. And even if my mother was not ready to face Adelaine and Brute—one half of the Guardians that attacked them, leading to the death of her father, King Leoric—they were the only options I had.

    IRIS.“Meridian found me and took me into her house. I didn’t fuck her. And I have no plans of fucking her. Now, can you take us to her? Maybe she can help us.” He explained.I shook my hands and head, shaking away the jealousy eating my body, before I looked at him again. Draco already had his hand

    DRACO.I tried to read Princess Diallica’s lips, but I couldn’t understand what she was saying. And before I knew it, her mouth had already crashed into mine. My forehead creased. Something in me told me that I shouldn’t be out here kissing women. I knew I didn’t want to be kissed, but her lips ta

    DRACO.“Maybe it’s best to go there so you can rest while we figure out what to do next and where to go.” I pointed at the waterfalls far ahead. From where we stood, I assumed there was a hidden cave behind it because there was a gap where the rushing water was falling. There was just a big boulde

    IRIS.“What did you do?” I asked but he had already disappeared before me. “Nothing.” His voice came from behind me. He was back outside so I swiftly turned around to look at him. “I will take you to him, and once he wants nothing to do with you, you will let him leave.”My chest heaved. Draco sai
