Iris’s POV

As time went on and more matches took place, I found my grouchiness slowly fading away. The excitement from the competitions, the energy of the crowd, and Rowan’s presence beside me worked together to lift my mood.

Though I still felt the exhaustion from my sleepless night, at least I didn’t feel like snapping at everyone anymore.

Shane seemed to notice the shift in my mood and cautiously leaned closer, no longer treating me like I might explode at any moment.

“Feeling better?” he asked carefully.

“A bit,” I admitted. “Sorry for being so horrible this morning.”

“It’s okay,” Shane said with a small smile. “We all have bad days.”

Rowan had cancelled his other matches after the incident with Maximus, deciding that one fight was enough for the day. I was secretly relieved because I didn’t think my nerves could handle watching him fight again so soon.

The next match was announced, and Alpha Derek stepped into the ring. His opponent was an Alpha from a pack I didn’t recognize.

  • Too Late, Alpha: The Mate He Never Wanted   Chapter 233

    Iris’s POVI nearly jumped out of my skin, my heart pounding in my chest. My hands started shaking again.This was it. They had found Zara. They knew what I had done. I was going to be arrested or thrown out of the palace or—"We have some parting gifts for you," the staff member said cheerfully, holding out small bags. "Thank you so much for visiting our spa today. We hope you enjoyed your treatments."Relief flooded through me so intensely that my knees nearly gave out.It was just spa gifts. Nothing about Zara or the destroyed bathroom."Thank you," Vivian said, accepting the bags for all of us. "The spa was wonderful.""Please come back anytime," the staff member said with a warm smile.As we finally left the spa and made our way back through the palace, I tried to participate in the conversation. I smiled when they laughed, nodded when they talked, and responded when they asked me questions.But my mind was far away.I kept thinking about that moment in the bathroom. The rage tha

  • Too Late, Alpha: The Mate He Never Wanted   Chapter 232

    Iris’s POVIt took a while for me to get myself back together, and I wasn't proud of it, but I fled.I couldn't stay in that bathroom with Zara's unconscious body and all that wreck. I couldn't think straight. All I could do was run.I stumbled out of the bathroom, my hands still shaking, my mind racing with questions I had no answers for.What had just happened to me? What was that strength? That rage? That inhuman growl?I made it halfway down the hallway before I ran straight into Jasmine, Vivian, and Claire. They were coming toward the bathrooms, clearly worried."Iris!" Jasmine said, relief flooding her face. "There you are. We were getting worried. You've been gone for a while."They all stopped when they got a good look at me. Their expressions shifted from relief to concern."Are you okay?" Claire asked, her eyes scanning me up and down. "You look weird. Is something wrong?"I realized I must have looked terrible. My hands were trembling, my breathing was uneven, and I probabl

    Iris's POVI finished washing my hands, deliberately keeping my eyes focused on the sink. I wasn't going to give Zara the satisfaction of acknowledging her presence.I dried my hands quickly and turned to leave, but Zara was standing directly in front of the door, blocking my exit.I sighed in exhaustion, feeling the grouchiness from this morning hit me again. My lack of sleep, combined with the nightmares, had left me with no patience for anyone's nonsense."What do you want, Zara?" I asked tiredly.Zara's face was twisted into a scowl. "What is your deal, Iris? Why are you trying to ruin my life?"I paused, blinking at her in disbelief. Was she serious right now?"I'm sorry, when did we switch roles?" I said incredulously. "That's your role, not mine. You're the one who ruined my life, remember? You stole my husband. You contributed to my daughter's death with your lies and manipulation. So don't you dare stand there and accuse me of ruining anything."Zara's expression darkened. "S

    Iris’s POVI should have known that I was a trouble magnet. I was having so much fun that I should have known it wouldn’t last.The palace spa was incredible. The moment we walked in, we were greeted by friendly staff who welcomed us warmly and led us to a luxurious waiting area with some comfortable chairs and some light refreshments.“This is amazing,” Claire breathed, looking around with wide eyes.“I know, right?” Vivian agreed, already sitting on one of the plush chairs. “I could get used to this. Maybe I'll talk to Derek so we can get something like this in our own pack.”We were given robes and slippers, then led to separate rooms for our treatments. I chose a prenatal massage, which the staff assured me was completely safe for the baby.The massage was heavenly. The masseuse worked out all the tension in my shoulders and back that I hadn’t even realized was there. For the first time in days, I felt myself truly relaxing.After the massage, we all met up in a communal relaxatio

    Iris’s POVThe exhaustion and grumpiness got worse the next morning. Much worse.Every time I closed my eyes last night, that awful dream came back over and over again. The forest, the figure, Eric’s face instead of Rowan’s, his lips on mine, his voice whispering those horrible words.I had gotten maybe two hours of sleep total, and it showed.I sat at the breakfast table, staring blankly at my plate, barely touching my food.Rowan looked at me with concern. “Did you sleep well?” he asked softly, reaching over to take my hand.I forced a smile. “I’m okay.”But Rowan wasn’t fooled. “I sensed when you left the bed for a while last night, then came back. Are you sure you’re alright?”My heart skipped a beat. Of course he had noticed.“I’m fine,” I said quickly. “I just couldn’t sleep.”Rowan studied my face, clearly not convinced. “Did the baby keep you up?” he asked as his hand moved to rest on my stomach. “Is everything okay?”I paused, feeling guilty as I apologized to my baby in my m

    Iris’s POV“Iris, I—” Eric started.“What are you doing outside alone at this time of night?” a voice interrupted sharply.I nearly jumped out of my skin. Shane appeared from around a corner with a dark and furious expression on his face as he glanced at Eric and I.“And what the hell are you doing with him?” Shane demanded, pointing at Eric.Relief flooded through me. I had never been so happy to see Shane in my life.“Shane,” I said quickly. “I couldn’t sleep, so I went for a walk. I ran into Alpha Maximus, and then Eric showed up and—”“You ran into Maximus? You went for a walk?” Shane interrupted, his voice rising. “Alone? At night? Are you out of your mind?”“I know, I know,” I said, holding up my hands. “It was stupid. I wasn’t thinking clearly.”Shane turned his glare on Eric. “And you? What’s your excuse for being out here with Rowan’s mate in the middle of the night?”“I was just making sure she got back safely,” Eric said defensively. “Maximus was threatening her. I interven
