Adrian was taken aback. He hadn't heard this right, had he?'No?' he asked, still in the throes of desire. 'No, what?''No, I don't want this!' she said slipping down from his body and bitting back a moan of anguish when his erect dick brushed against her thigh.'You don't really mean that, do you?' he asked, very hurt. Her rejection hurt him more than he cared to admit. 'Are you saying you don't want it now, or you never want this with me?' he asked. He was tired of playing this games and he needed to know his place in her life.'Never!' Iris said, looking away.'Are you sure of this?' he asked, his hands wanting to grab her shoulders. But she brushed them away.'Why did you have to go and ask her such a stupid question?' his wolf asked. 'We could smell her arousal and yet you had to go and spoil this for me by asking such an inane question! he fumed.Adrian sighed.' As you wish', he replied Iris. 'I shall go back to the party and wish my pups goodnight!' he said, straightening his s
Iris was furious with herself for reacting the way she was. 'l like Adrian very much and I can feel his wolf dying to mate with me!' her wolf said.'You are insane', she answered her wolf in her head, while smiling at the guests passing by and waving at her.Andrew excused himself and Iris walked away before any other person, especially Adrian came to speak to her. She walked into the garden. There was a little cottage in the garden. The guests were enjoying themselves and her children were upstairs playing with their toys and attended to by the maids as she had earlier instructed. She just wanted to relax away from the noise and stress. She needed to be alone with her thoughts where no one would disturb her. She had made sure she wasn't followed.'Why are you running from him?' her wolf asked. 'How long will you continue to lie to yourself?''Shut up! Have you forgotten how he treated us in the past? Is your memory that faulty?' she snapped.'Everyone makes mistakes and he has more t
'These children are adorable', Luna Millicent, gushed hugging Laila and Landon for the hundredth time. 'You didn't tell us you were coming back, else we would have had someone pick you up at the airport. You had to make my grandchildren pass through the stress of coming home to their grandparents in a public cab!' she complained for the nth tine.'Mum, you have never been one to be so fixated on wealth or look down on others, so don't start now, it doesn't become you', Iris said and his brothers burst out laughing but had to stifle their laughter from one hard look from their mother. 'Moreover, I don't want Laila and Landon to become spoilt!''How is loving my grandchildren, whose presence you denied me for nearly four years, by the way, spoiling them?' Millicent asked, scowling.'That's okay!' Former Alpha King Sylvester said. He had relinquished the mantle to both his sons Devin and Kevin. 'I am going to throw a welcome home party to notify the world that my daughter is back home!'
'It's been quite a while, Iris', the voice said. 'You finally came back. Welcome!' 'Oh, Adrian, it's you', Iris said, adopting a nonchalant attitude, after the initial shock of seeing him so suddenly. 'What are you doing here?' she asked.'I just got back from a business conference', he said looking at her intensely and she felt uncomfortable.'Daddy, we came home to look for you!' Laila said, hugging Adrian and smiling up at him.'Laila, don't be absurd!' Iris said shocked that Laila could smell that Adrian was her biological father.'It is not absurd, mother', Landon said looking at a shocked Adrian with disapproval. 'Why did you leave us?' he asked. 'Didn't you want us?'Adrian was speechless. He had had eye only for Iris that he hadn't looked around her to see these wonderful children. They were definitely his, he could tell. How could he have missed them when he sighted Iris?'They are mine, aren't they?' Adrian asked, trying to hide the joy in his heart.Iris felt there was n
Third Person POVIris alighted from the plane, a beautiful girl and a cute boy beside her. She looked around and wheeled her suitcase towards the reception. As she moved, she recalled the words of her friend. The only friend she made while in New York. 'You will meet someone at the airport. He shall be the first male to pique your interest and that is the person for you. You must not miss him. He alone can give you the happiness, you seek!' she advised, smiling mischievously.'You have started again, Rachael', Iris said, not taking her seriously.'I am damn serious', Rachael said.. 'You must take the words of this witch seriously',Iris had shrugged.'Mummy, you said you we are going home so we could see daddy', Laila, her daughter said.Iris hadn't said that exactly and she had not had the mind to lie to them that their Dad was dead,.'We shall search for him together', she had said instead, with a tight smile.'I bet Dad is so cool!' Landon said, in awe. 'and we shall see him soon,
Iris' POVWhen I heard Adrian's voice I knew Ares must have guessed where I had gone and intimated him when he came looking for me. I had been shocked to see him at first and had hurriedly gone in and through mind link, asked my uncle to tell him I was not willing to see him. 'Or give him any excuse that will make him leave. I really don't want to see him', I informed my uncle Hugh.While they were arguing and Adrian was threatening to take him to the council for hoarding his mate, I wanted to come out and intervene because I wouldn't put anything pass him, that jerk Adrian.'This might be your pack and territory but you must know it is a crime to hoard another Alpha' s mate', he had said with an underlining threat. It was even worse if the mate was pregnant for the werewolf talk more of an Alpha. But Uncle Hugh handled it very aptly and I heaved a sigh of relief.As soon as he left, my uncle came into the room to speak to me. 'Iris are you sure you do not want to see him? He seems to
'Alpha Hugh, I appreciate the reception you gave me but I know that my Luna is in this pack', I said, not wanting to believe him when he said Iris had not visited him.'Are you calling me a liar?' iris' uncle asked.'I wouldn't go that far but I have it on reliable authority that Iris Merryweather is here and I am not leaving unless I see her!' I insisted.'This is my territory and you have no right to make demand!' he howled.'I respect you, Alpha Hugh and don't wish to make enemies with you or your pack but isn't it against the werewolf laws for you to hoard another Alpha's mate?' I asked, eyes glowing with barely suppressed fury. I hadn't slept a wink last night because I couldn't stop thinking about her only to get here and be told by her uncle that Iris wasn't there and I could smell her and her scent was causing me to go insane with need. 'Will you let her out quietly or are we going to do this the hard way?' I asked sniffing.'Look, Alpha Adrian' Hugh said, his voice quieter, '
Adrian's POVAfter getting home from seeing Ares, I prepared myself for a visit to the Crescent Pack. My gamma, Pamela was acting strange.'Alpha, you were gone for so long, hope the pack matters you went to attend to was well resolved and in our favour?' she asked.'I am still on it but I assure you, it is being taken care of. Nothing for you to concern yourself with!''Huh', she said, non commitantky and left my presence. Or so I thought until I started feeling hands all over my body. I had been preoccupied with thoughts of Iris and at first, I thought it was my fantasies about her coming to life in my illusion and I groaned. This made the hands fondling and caressing my body bolder and that was when I realized this was no illusion nor fantasy but real. I swirled around to find a smiling Pamela with lust etched on her face. 'Alpha, what's the problem, let me help you relax!' she said without remorse. 'Did I ask for your help in that area?' I asked as I pushed her away from me, fe
Iris' POVI arrived at the Crescent Pack to see my uncle and his family. Alpha Hugh O'Hara. His wife Melinda welcomed me since he was in a meeting.'You're welcome, Iris', she said. 'Hope your are parents well?'They are doing great', I answered. 'How are my cousins Reily and Regan?''They are doing great as well. Their father sent them for some training of sorts. You know how these things are'.I nodded. Men and their trainings. It was to be able to defend themselves and the pack. But that was not where my interest lay at the moment.'You must be tired let me get you something to eat while you wait for your uncle to get through with the meeting and come welcome you properly'.I are and slept. When I woke, I was at first shocked at the strange surroundings but then, memories flooded in and I felt a burden on my heart. I didn't know that I could still feel the pain of Sean's betrayal but right then it weighed heavily on me. I had really loved him, and why not, he was my mate. I remamem
