IRIS.

“Got your tongue tied, little bird?” He crossed his arms across his chest as he asked this with a face devoid of any emotions, and I wondered if I should be terrified or feel exhilarated.

“Alpha… Hi,” it was all I could muster to say.

“Hello, Iris,” he greeted me back, letting out a small smile that made my knees buckle, but before I could pass out from his presence, someone interrupted us.

“Good afternoon, Alpha. I’m glad to see you here. Do you need help? I can assist you.” It was the woman at the counter who had ignored me earlier.

Alpha Draco glanced at her before looking at me again. “Is there anyone assisting you?”

I shook my head.

“Oh, we probably didn’t notice when she entered. There were a lot of customers earlier. I apologize, Miss.”

I wanted to roll my eyes at her, not only because I knew she had purposely ignored me, but because she was smiling too widely and fluttering her lashes at him, and she never did once she looked at me.

“It’s okay, Alpha. I would rather l

    **Trigger warning—memory of SA and violence against women. Read with caution.IRIS' MEMORYConstantine lied, and I fell for it. There was no wife. There was no daughter. There was no family. He took me home and held me prisoner. He needed a wife to inherit his great-grandfather’s estate, and among the many women he could pick up and lure with his money—he still chose me. **MY BODY trembled as Constantine slapped Iris when she refused to wear the wedding gown he delivered to her room. I couldn’t count the number of times he hit her that I almost wanted to vomit.****IRIS ATTEMPTED to run away. He dragged her back by her hair and every servant in his mansion witnessed that. No wonder they never showed her respect. Constantine put a shackle around her ankle, which connected to a metal chain. I watched with so much hatred as my mate walked down the aisle at her wedding with bloodshot eyes and hollow cheeks, dragging her feet that were still tied with that fucking chain.****AND IF I THO

    CONTINUATION OF IRIS’ MEMORY shown to Draco. Any paragraph that begins with ** is Draco's personal POV as he witnessed her memory.------------------“What if she’s telling the truth?” Felicity asked her mom. “Alpha Draco? She’s batshit crazy. Just like her mother.”“Listen, Mom. I think she’s not lying…” Felicity spoke in a hushed tone, but I could still hear her. “I saw Alpha Draco in the crowd. I pushed my way toward him but then he began shouting. At first, I thought he was just pissed off at the crowd, but I realized he was asking his men to look for someone—a female. So I thought he was with someone, but now, with what Iris said, it was all making sense. At some point, he began cursing because he said, I can’t smell her anymore! It might be because Iris was pushed away from him.”“It can just be a coincidence…”“But what if it’s not?” Felicity insisted. There was silence. I would have liked to stay longer so I could hear the rest of their conversation, but I heard footsteps ap

    CONTINUATION OF IRIS' MEMORY.Until the source of electricity pulled me up and it gave me the best sensation I had ever felt in my life.My whole world stopped as I realized the vibrations were sparks, and an intoxicating smell suddenly enveloped me—overpowering the scent of sweat, burned electric, and wood. “Mate!” I screamed. But as fast as it happened, it was also gone in an instant. I was pulled away by the crowd so that no matter how hard my mate was gripping my hand, I couldn’t hold on to it.But I knew what I saw. I was holding Alpha Draco’s hand. “Sir!” I screamed as I raised my hand, trying to get his attention, but he was already five or more feet away, and I kept drifting further. He kept looking around and I saw frustration on his face as he tried to shove people around him. But how could he see me when everyone around me was taller than I was, even with my arm raised? “Sir! Mate!” I screamed again, but the chaos drowned my voice. While I was pushed back, he was walkin

    FLASHBACK—3 YEARS AGOIRIS’ MEMORY shown to Draco. Any paragraph that begins with ** is Draco's personal POV as he witnessed Iris memory.---------The wind sent a chill down my spine, so I gripped my hand-me-down coat tighter around my body. Walking on a cold night in thin fabric wasn't how I planned to celebrate my eighteenth birthday, but, as always, I didn’t have a choice. “Can you walk faster? I’m not the one who’s supposed to wait for you…” Felicity snapped at me as she walked with big strides. She wanted to attend the festival because her favorite musicians would be playing, and there would be big names in attendance. She was hoping one of them would notice her. She was supposed to attend with her mother, who was my stepmother. But Chriselda slipped and ended up with a swollen ankle, so I was a last-minute replacement.“Felicity, I’m cold,” I mumbled. I didn’t have gloves, and the beanie I wore was too small and couldn’t cover my ears. “Then tell your wolf to warm you up.” S

    DRACO.I had no idea who the people in the memory I was looking at were. But I tried to absorb as much as I could to help Iris. I was hoping we could get information on how to get away from here. But the memory came too fast, and it was gone too fast as well.The next thing I knew, I was trying to keep Iris from falling in the pond. I kept her still as I listened to her sobbing ramblings. I had no idea how to console her. I was never good at it. Then she began asking questions, and I just let her do what she wanted, even if I had no idea what she was aiming for. Her hands held my temples as she began murmuring words I heard from King Leoric at the Orebrus. It dawned on me that she was trying to restore my memory. I wanted to tell her she needed to keep her mana strong and that my memory would come back on its own time, but her expression shut me up. Iris might seem fragile and innocent, but I knew what determination looked like, and that was what her face showed. Her first try wa

    Continuation of KING LEORIC’S POV from the Orebrus.I had no idea how long I fought them alongside my Raiders and my faes. I had no idea how many of my species had died trying to save our home. All I knew was that this was the end of it. With my aura dwindling and the forest covering my power and my body as I slumped on the earth, the Guardians were not able to track me this time. I could no longer feel them. They had left the Wicker Forest—burning and on the brink of destruction.And it was only a matter of time before my soul left my body. I was dying, but I didn’t want to use any power. The little that was left of me, I was saving so I could perform the last thing I needed to do. But I had no idea how long I could hold on. A sparkle came out before Eox appeared in front of me. “King Leoric.”“Where is she?” I asked, holding on to my consciousness, with one hand stopping the blood oozing from my heart. “They took her in…”“When she gives birth, take her and Princess Diallica ba
