DRACO.

I went directly to my room to sleep after I left Iris, but despite the alcohol in my body, my mind wouldn’t shut off. After more than an hour of trying, I finally gave up and walked into my office.

Like the other night, I fell asleep in my office chair. But unlike the last time, Iris didn’t come tell me to sleep and lie down. I woke up with a stiff neck and numbness in my leg.

My day was starting badly.

I decided to leave my office just in time for breakfast, and I was hoping Iris woul

Iris thinking ahead and on her feet. Smart move. When she’s gone, all of these things will come flooding back to you Draco. Especially if you can’t find her. Hopefully her ex won’t get away. He should be put out of his misery by now.

  • THE SUBSTITUTE LUNA   Chapter 240 - Never Enough

    IRIS. Sparks traveled from the tips of my fingers and exploded everywhere in my body as I held the man I would give my whole life to.“I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I didn’t know…” I kept mumbling, my arms wrapping around his head as I buried my face into his neck. “It’s okay. It’s okay. It’s not your fault we got separated.” He pulled away from hugging me and cupped my jaw, while one hand remained under my butt as he kept kissing my face. “Maybe I wasn’t holding you right. What’s important is your safety and you’re back in my arms.” I shook my head. “That’s not what I meant…”He stopped kissing me and began wiping my tears, confusion in his eyes. “What…”“I’m sorry for the past two years…” I cut him off. “For not being there when you wake up. For not kissing you good night. Sorry for the two years we’ve lost. Sorry for the suffering. I have no idea. I wish I knew. I wish I had looked for you earlier.”“Iris…” His eyes watered as our gazes met. “Is your memory back?”I cupped his cheeks and

  • THE SUBSTITUTE LUNA   Chapter 239 - The Open Market

    IRIS. My body was sucked into a spiral and I felt Draco hug me tightly. I closed my eyes, holding on to him but when my feet landed on the ground, I stumbled forward and fell into what looked like a market stall. Everyone around me began screaming in shock because I had just destroyed someone’s booth when I fell into it. My eyes widened, my butt still on the ground, as I looked at the bystanders who were looking at me.“Luna Iris?” Someone said and the small crowd around us fell silent.A sheepish smile slowly crawled onto my face. “Hi… I’m sorry.”“It’s really you, Luna Iris!” Someone yelled and the people began making noises again. I clamped my hands over my ears until a female reached out her hand to me, and I gladly accepted it, only to remember who she was. “Lima? Is that you?”Lima was the makeup artist Draco assigned to help me get ready for functions we needed to attend, including our engagement party. “What are you doing here?” I asked while I brushed the dirt and dust tha

  • THE SUBSTITUTE LUNA   Chapter 238 - Time To Come Home

    DRACO. I cupped Iris’ cheeks and tilted her head so she would meet my eyes. “My little bird, all you have to do is walk into my life, and slowly everything in me finds its perfect place. Before you, I was just an empty piece of a shell, hollow inside. But since I met you, my empty spaces began to fill up. Your smile brightened up my day. Your anger challenged all my actions. Your truth humbled the arrogant man in me. And your kisses… they made me fall onto my knees each fucking time. The truth is, you, Iris, you alone made me want to be a better person, far better than what my mind could comprehend. Because in my sick, twisted life, the Goddess deemed me worthy of having a pure heart as my fated mate. Not everyone was lucky to have that chance. And she had given me three chances to make it right.”“Three chances?”“I will tell you everything one day. But now, I want you to understand that you are not useless. If only you could remember everything, you would know how strong you’ve held

  • THE SUBSTITUTE LUNA   Chapter 237 - Thank You

    DRACO.Iris and I stood before her parents as we prepared to return to the human realm. We made a promise to come back on Midsummer Night for our union in the Wicker Forest, under the Faerie Moon.“I have no intention of taking Iris from you. I swear under my Alpha’s badge that I would let her go back to this forest anytime she wants to.” I told them because I could see the sadness in their eyes.“We never doubted that,” Vaidas replied. “And you are both welcome to come here anytime you want, regardless of the reason.”“You don’t have to worry about her. I will take care of her…” I added. “Far, far better than I did the first time.”“Thank you, Draco,” Cassiopeia said.I smiled warmly at her before I spoke again. “No. I should be the one thanking you. For letting Iris go with me. For trusting me again despite what happened last time. My lack of judgment when it came to her safety.”“It was not your fault and we never blamed you for it. But I want to personally thank you for the two ye

  • THE SUBSTITUTE LUNA   Chapter 236 - All of You

    DRACO. “Am I that little thing you were so good at doing…”I chuckled and nodded my head. “I’m an arrogant overachiever, but the one thing I am most proud of is that I can make my mate squirm and moan, make her come and beg for more every time I do her.”“Are we here to learn how to shoot a bow or to fuck?” She grinned before adding. “I don’t mind doing the latter.”I laughed heartily before I pivoted her so she was facing the area with the remaining sun droplets. “I can definitely do you anywhere, Princess Diallica, but let’s get to business and shower the land with glitters first.”She turned to look at me, eyes rolling playfully before she looked straight ahead. “Fine. Teach me, Alpha.”“You need to learn how to say please, my love.”She giggled and turned to face me, her voice softening as she spoke. “Please, Alpha, teach me. I promise to be a good girl and do your bidding after this. Sky’s the limit.”I groaned. “That’s more like it. Now, turn around.” I turned her body around, p

  • THE SUBSTITUTE LUNA   Chapter 235 - Faerie Moon

    DRACO.The next few days went by in a blur, and although I was in a world I was not born to be in, I was doing okay here—because Iris was here. It was not difficult to like this realm, especially since Iris was of the Imperial bloodline and was well taken care of, so that generally extended to me. But this was not my world. And I hadn’t had that talk with my mate about whether this would be our permanent setup. I missed my pack, and the things I do as an Alpha. I was not meant to be treated as royalty. I was used to running a territory, so it was hard to just live with no goals at all but just to enjoy the day. Of course, enjoying the day with my mate would always be an ideal day, but old habits die hard. Although I knew that if Iris asked me to choose between her and the human realm, there would only be one answer for me.Since Iris’ family—which was Cassiopeia and Vaidas—had accepted me as her mate, a union was decided to take place on the night of the Faerie Moon, which was the

    DRACO.I woke up earlier than usual because, despite not having any sleep at all, I couldn’t sleep last night. I kept thinking about the woman I took home. I couldn’t deny the attraction, but I knew better than to let myself get lost in that feeling. I can not allow her to get too close. But when s

    IRIS.The Alpha kept true to his words and had not left my side, except when he stepped up to the podium to address the business owners and attendees. And all the while he was there, he would still glance and look at me from time to time. All in all, the morning was turning out great. Although I c

    DRACO. And then Felicity left. My own fated mate left me for someone greater. I could give her a Luna title, but Prince Esmond could give her a Royal one. How could I fight against that?I held on to the hope that the bond between us was stronger than her dream of being a princess. I fought for h

    IRIS. A shriek escaped past my lips when I saw Alpha Draco rushing toward us. The next thing I knew, his knuckles landed on the Delta’s jaw. Liam was hurled backward while the Alpha grabbed me toward him. My body spun around, and my face landed on his bloodied torso. His arm wrapped around me as h
