Deborah stood completely still for a moment, trying to organize her mind and prepare herself for what was to come, instead of panicking. Unfortunately, however, this also gave Iron enough time to pull the window up, breaking the pure steel locks that held it in place. And, in the next instant, without Deborah being able to do anything to stop it, that man was already inside her children's room, staring at her as if she had pierced his chest and ripped out his heart.“You… You gave birth to cubs…” he mumbled, his voice sounding strangled as he looked around at the toys strewn across the floor and the beds with colorful sheets “Our cubs!”“No. My cubs.” Deborah rolled her eyes, focusing only on the destroyed window to avoid his gaze “And, thanks. Now my children will spend the night getting drafty and probably catching a cold…”“I saw them!” Iron growled, stepping closer to her as if ready to grab her arm “I saw their faces, especially the eyes of that little girl… My daughter…” he murm
“Oh, my sweet Goddess…” Dawn gasped, her body dropping towards the floor as they found themselves in front of the door to their family’s apartment, the hallways around them thankfully empty “I’ll never get used to this teleportation thing.”“Yeah, I guess so do I…” Deborah had to summon all her strength to hold her friend in place, even though her head was spinning like she was about to pass out “It always… Sucks the life out of me. But, hey, are you okay?”“I’m the one who should be asking you this…” Dawn lamented, staring at her with a mix of concern and pity “I mean, it seems like with each generation of my family our wolves go more dormant, so I’ll never really know what it’s like, but my father always says the feeling of finding your fated mate is overwhelming. I hate the idea that bastard almost let a pack of mad wolves burn you to death and now…”“Now my wolf still keeps me tied to him?” she laughed humorlessly “Don’t worry. He made sure to replace every good memory I had with r
The cold night air hit Deborah’s face like a slap when they finally reached the outside of the club. But, ironically, she felt like this was exactly what she needed. The smell of only humans, the modern streets around her, the night filled with the lights and sounds of the city. This was the human land. Her land. She was no longer part of the pack. She had nothing to fear, even if Iron was here now.She stood with her back to him, staring at the waning moon in the sky and waiting for him to start talking, but nothing happened. Iron remained where he was, the weight of his gaze on her back pricking her skin like needles. It was so ironic that, when she was still the shame of the pack, the girl who didn't have a wolf inside her, the attraction she felt for Iron seemed so much more genuine. Because it came from her heart. Now, all her wolf wanted to do was curl up around him and mate, but Deborah couldn't wait for this conversation to be over and to be able to put as much distance between
The club was everything Deborah had imagined it would be: hot, loud, and with a strong smell of booze that made her keen sense of smell twitch. The loud music seemed to make the floor vibrate, and with every step she took deeper into the dancing crowd and flashing lights, she could feel a new pair of eyes turning in her direction.“Hey, honey.” a man spoke nearby, his voice slurred from the alcohol “Are you free? I’d love to burn myself in a little flame like you…”“I think maybe we shouldn’t have invited Deborah. She’s stealing all the guys’ attention for herself.” Beth said, a smile on her face, but her voice more acidic than even she intended.“At least try to hide your jealousy, Beth.” Dawn rolled her eyes, seeming to be shouting at the top of her lungs to make herself heard “I’m disappointed in you. Is that really the kind of guy you want, with that kind of bad pick-up line?”“I’m not being jealous…” Dawn’s friend whined, pouting “I’m just saying… It’s hard enough to compete with
Deborah knew perfectly well when she was in a dream.She had learned that the hard way, after five years of dreams just like this one. Night after night, she found herself in that exact spot, sitting in that glade in the moonlight, with nothing else to do but stand there and stare at the wolf that had never stopped secretly tormenting her, despite the distance.Iron.It was always like that in those dreams: they would stand in front of each other, with only a few feet separating them, but they could never touch. As if there was an invisible barrier between them, preventing Deborah from getting closer or even away from him. All she could do was stand there, staring at him, until she woke up. He couldn't speak, though. Something about the determined expression he wore sometimes gave Deborah the distinct impression that he tried, but never succeeded. Which was a good thing. She didn't need any more memories of the past. His face was enough and, if she could choose, she would forget even
Hello, everyone! First of all, I would like to apologize to everyone who has been waiting for updates on this story for almost a year. My personal life has been hectic lately and, because I have been short on time, I chose to focus on my other story (Revenge with my Ex-Fiancé's Billionaire Brother) which was already halfway through and had readers waiting for an ending. However, now that story is finished and I could finally start updating The Lycan King's Unforgivable Mistake! ^^Again, I apologize to everyone who has waited so long for this story. For now, I will only be posting one chapter per day, but I hope to increase that over time, especially since I plan for this story to be a little shorter than the others I have here on the platform.Thank you so much to everyone who is reading this and still choosing to give this story a chance, despite the delay!Let's finally start Deborah's story! See you tomorrow with another chapter!
