IRIS

Three days had passed since Kade and the others left on ‘official pack business’. Three days since Ryker caught me leaving Ash’s room. Three days of silence.

Something unnamed crawled up my throat. I pushed it down as I stared at Ash’s door down the left wing of the guest quarters.

Three days of resisting the temptation of going through Ash’s things and finding out what the hell was actually going on.

The curfew had only gotten worse. Half the pack’s deltas were stationed at the borders no

    IRIS“Iris,” Mr Rowan said, his voice roughened by lack of use.We all mourned Katrina in our own way. I hadn’t seen Camille for days. She was likely holed up in a cave somewhere, trapped in her wolf form so she wouldn’t have to feel the crushing weight of loss. For their dad, it was alcohol.And maybe for me it was being fixated about her death. If I kept digging, kept searching for answers, maybe I wouldn’t have to face the ache she left behind.Like I said, different strokes for different folks.I stepped fully into the living room, perching on the sofa opposite him.“How are you?” I asked. Then I instantly regretted it. Of course he was terrible. His daughter died.“Good,” he gruffed, lifting the glass to his lips with an unsteady hand.The space fell silent for a while.“And you?” He asked mechanically. “Kade?”I forced a tight smile. “We’re… doing the best we can.”A frown tugged at his lip like I’d just said something out of the ordinary. “Take care of him, Iris,” he slurred,

    IRISThree days had passed since Kade and the others left on ‘official pack business’. Three days since Ryker caught me leaving Ash’s room. Three days of silence.Something unnamed crawled up my throat. I pushed it down as I stared at Ash’s door down the left wing of the guest quarters.Three days of resisting the temptation of going through Ash’s things and finding out what the hell was actually going on.The curfew had only gotten worse. Half the pack’s deltas were stationed at the borders now, patrolling like we were under attack. I knew because I’d tried slipping out again.Didn’t work.Got dragged right back home like a misbehaving pup.Something was wrong.My body buzzed low, probably from the lack of sleep. Every time I closed my eyes, that damned creature popped into my dreams. A werewolf but not quite. The stance was all wrong, the proportions out of place. Its eyes are as red as a blood moon.The images flashed in my mind like a warning but the moment I opened my eyes, it’s

    RYKER“We’ll leave by nightfall. The territories that-“Kade’s voice faded into the background, along with every other preparation him and Ash could muster. Attractive alpha?My chest tightened, something annoyingly close to jealousy pressing against my lungs, making it almost impossible to breathe.There was no way Iris actually had anything to do with Ash.But the evidence stared right in my face.That smug look on her face, those clothes she wore as she literally ran out of Ash’s room like it was on fire. Like she just did something she regretted.“Ryker.” Ash’s aggravating voice dragged me out of my spiraling thoughts. Rage found its way to my throat.I swallowed. “What?”His eyes narrowed on me. Confused. Of course he was going to stand her and pretend like nothing happened.I tore my gaze away from him before I did something stupid. Like ripping out his throat and feeding it to the vampire werewolves.“You’re painfully honest.” I said to Kade. His gaze sharpened, already susp

    IRISEverything felt weird the second I woke up.The air felt too hot, the sun too bright, my body still buzzed but my mind couldn’t care enough to remember why.My eyes fluttered open, vision blurrying and the second I pushed myself off my bed, my head throbbed. A throaty groan escaped my lips before I could stop it, the sound grating on my already sensitive ears.My fingers dug into an unfamiliar mattress. I stilled. This wasn’t my bed. It was colder and not nearly as worn in.I blinked away the haze and slowly, my surroundings came into focus.Small. Clean… like sterile clean. A single bed wedged against the wall. The guest rooms. I was still on pack grounds.The knot in my chest loosened, but not enough for relief.How did I get here?I forced my eyes shut, shutting out the sound of sheets rustling and breeze bellowing. The images flashed violently beneath my eyelids. The woods. The run. Then a sound and then…Nothing.No matter how hard I pushed, my mind wouldn’t go past that sce

    ASH The noise in the forest, the wind through the trees, insects, the distant call of wolves… they were all drowned out by the sound of blood rushing in my ears. Move. Every instinct I had screamed at me to step back, to put distance between us before this turned into something I couldn’t undo. But my body refused. Iris stood a few feet away, as still as a statue. Her scent was thick in the air… it was overwhelming. Wrapping around my lungs like smoke and dragging me under. This wasn’t normal. Her eyes locked on mine. Confusion and something darker flickering in them. But just as quickly it came, that expression was extinguished, replaced by a calmer, deadlier look. The kind of look that would make men jump to their deaths. I balled my hands into a fist, claw digging into my palm. Iris was Ryker’s ex. And someone very special to Kade. Although we were going through a rough patch now, we were brothers. But my wolf thought otherwise. He didn’t care, not when her

  • The Alphas Broken Mate   CHAPTER 4

    IRISEven after decades of growing up around him, I didn't know a single thing about Ash. Except that people found him terrifying.I never understood why.“Are you alright?” His warm hands still lingering on my arm.Say something.“Yeah, I just-wasn’t looking,” I said, forcing out a small, awkward laugh.Ash just stood there, staring into my soul like he was trying to find something missing.Okayyyy.I stepped back. His grip tightened. My brows pulled together. “Ash-““You're lying.” I blinked, scoffing before I could stop myself. “Excuse me?”“Something's wrong.” He doubled down. “Tell me. What is it?”There was something about the way he said it. Not demanding or forceful. Just… sure. Like he already knew I was on the verge of falling apart and didn’t judge me for it or look at me like I was a broken doll that needed to be fixed. And somehow, that was enough.The words came before I could stop them.Everything I’d held back since they found Katrina’s body spilled out of me in
