Iris’s POV

But when I reached Rowan, his expression wasn’t quite as furious as before. He still looked concerned and frustrated, but there was resignation.

“Your form is getting sloppy,” Rowan commented.

I blinked, surprised. “What?”

“Your form,” Rowan repeated. “On those last few shots. You were compensating for the distance by adjusting your aim and increasing the strength behind your draw, but you didn’t adjust your stance. Your feet were too close together, throwing off your balance.”

I stared at him in confusion. “You’re… giving me pointers?”

“The next round is at forty meters,” Rowan continued, ignoring my question. “The wind is going to be more of an issue at that distance. You need to pay attention to how it’s moving, not just guess.”

“Rowan—”

“And you’re tensing your shoulders when you draw,” he added. “That’s going to tire you out faster and affect your accuracy. Keep them relaxed, let your back muscles do the work.”

“I don’t understand,” I said slowly. “I thought you wanted

  • Too Late, Alpha: The Mate He Never Wanted   Chapter 302

    Rowan’s POVThe third day arrived faster than I expected.This was it. The last day. If I couldn’t reach Iris today, she would be gone forever.I walked to her room with a heavy heart, barely holding myself together.When I entered, Raven was sitting on the bed, looking as smug as ever.“I heard from the guards that today was the last day,” she announced cheerfully. “After today, this body is officially mine. No takebacks.”I sat down in my usual chair and started talking.I told Iris about our plans for the future. About the nursery we were going to set up for the baby. About the life we were supposed to have together.“You’re wasting your time,” Raven said. “She’s not here. She’s gone. Accept it.”“I’ll never accept it,” I replied quietly.I kept talking even though my hope was fading with each passing minute.Hours went by. The sun moved across the sky. There was still no change.Raven yawned dramatically. “Are you almost done? This is getting really old.”I looked at her—Iris’s fa

  • Too Late, Alpha: The Mate He Never Wanted   Chapter 301

    Rowan’s POVThe witches arrived a few hours after the Alpha King summoned them.Five of them were all highly skilled and experienced in different branches of magic. They were from different parts of the region, and had dropped everything to answer the King’s call.I watched from the corner of the room as they examined Iris—or rather, Raven—using various spells and incantations.They made her sit still while they chanted in languages I didn’t understand. They drew symbols in the air that glowed briefly before fading. They placed their hands on her head and chest, muttering under their breath.Raven sat through it all with an amused smirk on her face, clearly enjoying watching everyone scramble to fix what Maximus had done.After what felt like hours, the witches finally stepped back.The oldest witch, a woman with silver hair and sharp green eyes, turned to face the Alpha King.“Well?” Silas demanded. “Can it be reversed?”The witch’s expression was grim as she shook her head slowly.“

    Rowan’s POV“Why?” Maximus repeated, his voice dropping to a dangerous growl. “Are you really asking me that? You took her from me! You killed Raven! You let her die because you were too weak, too broken, too pathetic to protect anyone!”“It was an accident!” I shouted back. “I didn’t—”“I don’t care!” Maximus roared, standing up even with his injuries. “She was dead because of you! My mate, my everything, was torn apart by rogues while you sat there doing nothing! So I decided to return the favor in the best way possible.”His eyes locked on mine, cold and merciless.“I took your mate,” Maximus continued. “Just like you took mine. An eye for an eye, Rowan. That’s justice.”“This isn’t justice!” I screamed. “This is murder! You killed Iris! You—”“I gave Raven a second chance at life,” Maximus interrupted calmly. “That’s all that matters.”The Alpha King stepped forward, his expression grave.“How can it be reversed?” Silas asked quietly but firmly.Maximus turned to look at him, and

  • Too Late, Alpha: The Mate He Never Wanted   Chapter 299

    Rowan’s POVI stood frozen behind the one-way glass, staring at the woman who had Iris’s face but…wasn’t Iris.Raven.Maximus’s dead mate was inside Iris’s body.“What the hell?” I mumbled to myself, my ears ringing.This couldn’t be real. This couldn’t be happening.Inside the interrogation room, Iris (or was it Raven?) chuckled to herself. She looked entertained, almost gleeful as she watched Lucas’s expression.“Oh, this is rich,” she said with a laugh. “The look on your face right now, Lucas. It’s priceless.”My mind was spinning. I couldn’t process what I was hearing.I turned to Lucas, desperate for answers—-some explanation that would make this make sense.He just stood there, watching Raven with a grave expression on his face.“I… I have to get out of here,” I stammered to no one, stumbling backward.The room suddenly felt too small. The air was too thick. I couldn’t breathe.I turned and rushed out of the observation room, my vision blurring as I tried to process what I had j

  • Too Late, Alpha: The Mate He Never Wanted   Chapter 298

    Rowan’s POVSomething flickered across Iris’s face. It was so brief I almost missed it.Fear.“I—” she started, then stopped.“One thing,” Lucas repeated. His voice was calm but piercing. “That’s all I’m asking. Tell me one personal detail. One conversation we had. Anything.”Iris’s hands clenched into fists. “Why are you doing this?”“One thing,” Lucas said again, not backing down. “Just one.”“I don’t have to prove anything to you!” Iris snapped.“Then you won’t mind telling me,” Lucas countered. “It should be easy if you’re really Iris. We spent weeks training together. Hours and hours of one-on-one sessions. Surely you remember something.”Iris opened her mouth, then closed it again. Her eyes darted around the room like she was looking for an escape.“One thing!” Lucas demanded, his voice rising for the first time. “Tell me one thing, or I will be forced to believe that you are not Iris!”“Stop it!” Iris yelled.“What did I teach you first?” Lucas pressed. “What exercises did we d

  • Too Late, Alpha: The Mate He Never Wanted   Chapter 297

    Rowan’s POVI looked up at Lucas in surprise. “What?”“I want to see Iris,” Lucas repeated. “Talk to her myself.”I shook my head immediately. “That’s not a good idea. She’s—she’s not herself right now. She’ll just—”“I know,” Lucas interrupted calmly. “But I still want to see her.”I didn’t understand why Lucas wanted to put himself through that. Iris would probably just be cruel to him too, the way she had been cruel to me.But I was too tired to argue, too exhausted from days of trying and failing to reach her.“Fine,” I agreed finally, standing up. “But don’t say I didn’t warn you.”We made our way through the palace corridors toward Iris’s room.I had insisted that she be given one of the luxury guest rooms even though she was a prisoner. Until we figured out what was going on, I wanted her to be comfortable. The room was big, with a large bed, soft carpets, and locked windows that still let in plenty of sunlight.The door was locked from the outside and guards were posted nearby
