So she ran—away from the sound of his voice calling her back, away from the hall, from Nathan, from all the secrets they carried.

Her head felt too heavy, her legs too light.

She trembled as the wind whooshed past her ears the faster she sprinted down the deserted road.

Because when he had stared into her eyes, when he had muttered, "Happy birthday, Lady Iris," with that flower in her face, it had felt familiar.

For once, she hadn't cared about the raging gossips or the scandals that would come later. Instead, she had searched his eyes, hoping to see more, but... it refused to come.

Was it really her birthday? Was it? Why did it feel like it wasn't the first time he was raising a marigold to her face?

At a distance, lightning seared through the dark sky.

A throne... Iris staggered to a stop, dropping to her knees in the middle of nowhere as the rain came down on her, dampening her hair and soaking her clothes.

She once had a throne... and today might be her birthday, not that one cold

  • The New Alpha's Return    Make me forget

    It didn't take long for all eyes to be turned on them. It didn't help that it was followed by whispers and murmurs she was trying hard not to catch snippets of.The music blaring in her ears seemed too loud the more she tried to focus on the Lycan King.He moved the way he spoke—flawlessly—spinning her under the spotlight until they were the only ones on the dance floor."You're so good you put the courtesans to shame," she laughed nervously. "Tell me, Asher, did it come with the charm?"A small sly smile perched on his lips. "Maybe I'm trying to impress." He spun her so her back was pressed against him. "Even the most notorious Lycan lacks strength in the face of a beautiful woman."The gasps came strongly now."Is—is that Lady Iris?""And—the Alpha King?!""All in front of her husband?!"Iris felt her face burn. At this rate, whether Pity's plan or not, Nathan was definitely going to take it the wrong way.Even now, a few steps away from her—and there he stood with Princess Lira in

    "...""..." Amara smiled.Iris sighed, "Please don't say it.""But how can I not say it?." She did a graceful twirl with the ivory ball gown hung on her arm, "Can't you see, I think Alpha Asher fancies you." Amara shook the letter before her face, the gold royal seal catching the sunlight. "A separate invite for you , asking you to come as an important guest to the king?" She swooned, "Just three days after he treated your wound. Oh goddess"Iris laughed and turned away. "For the last time, King Asher did not treat my wound, Duke Atlas did.""Because he asked him to?""No not because he asked him to" she waved Amara Off, " Besides aren't you in the same age gap as his majesty, perhaps if you brushed that bed nest instead of spying on Knights training and taunting me, you'll have a chance with him."Amara scoffed, "As if." But once again her face broke into a smile, "What if the king was really interested in you, will you give him a chance, My lady, future Luna of Pack Astralis.""

  • The New Alpha's Return    Scarred and Hopeless

    "You should take care of yours, Duke Atlas; it looks more serious." That was what she could have said, bowing low and racing off until she was hidden from murmurs and shocked gazes in her direction. But he didn't give her the chance; his fingers curled around her wrist, pulling her along to a shaded bench at the edge of the arena, and then sitting her down, he squatted down before her. He had demanded a satchel from his disappointed general, and now he stared laser-focused at her cut, brushing it with a small part of a napkin soaked in antiseptic. It stung like hell, a sharp bite that made her eyes water, but his touch was so careful, she barely flinched. Those hands, rough and built for war, moved with a gentleness that clashed hard with the beast she’d seen hurl Nathan through glass. She stared at the top of his wild dark hair, sweat glistening on his back, crisscrossed with knife and claw scars that made her chest ache. Some were white and faded, others red and raw, from ba

  • The New Alpha's Return    Doe Eyed Duke

    That meeting stayed with her, mainly because Amara wouldn't shut up about it. "The Alpha King, he told you to call him by his name. My lady, don't you think that...". But that was the problem. She would rather not think too much about it. Didn't want to think too much about the Duke's gray eyes and the way they were filled with guilt. How he had apologized after. How her guts had churned but not in discomfort. Amidst all this, there were more pressing matters to consider, such as Nathan's rapid recovery. King George had brought every healer with a weight to their name, and it had paid off. In just a day, there were rumors that the pack's beloved Duke had opened his eyes. They even said he would walk again. Rumors circulated about the actions he might take towards his haggard wife once he was discharged from the hospital. But every time she brought up the topic, Amara shut it down. "Didn't the Lycan King Asher ask you to come to him when you need something? Why not ask him for a

  • The New Alpha's Return    Forgive Me

    Iris stared out the window; twelve hours had passed since the incident, and her body was still frozen. She was surprised to learn Nathan hadn't died from the fall, but there were speculations on if he was ever going to walk again. However, Amara was adamant he was dead, claiming the news was a ruse to keep her in the pack until they came for her. She couldn't find her feet, couldn't move. The way those gray orbs had settled on her, as if he had fulfilled a promise he was sorry for. Then, without a word, he looked down at a writhing Nathan and walked away...to his general, who seemed pissed at him. Why? Why did he do that? Why did he look at her like that? Amara appeared before her, her right cheek still swollen despite the ointments applied on it. Her eyes glisten. "Do you even hear me? Do you want to die?" "There's nowhere to go, Amara." She held her maid's gaze. "I've thought about it, but unless we go back to the Valleys, we know nowhere." It dawned on Amara, and her
