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

  • Too Late, Alpha: The Mate He Never Wanted   Chapter 231

    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

  • Too Late, Alpha: The Mate He Never Wanted   Chapter 230

    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

  • Too Late, Alpha: The Mate He Never Wanted   Chapter 229

    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

  • Too Late, Alpha: The Mate He Never Wanted   Chapter 227

    Iris’s POVAlpha Maximus grinned at me, and it was almost frightening. I resisted the urge to take a step back.“Alpha Maximus,” I said slowly, keeping my voice steady. “Can’t sleep either?”He didn’t reply. He just kept advancing toward me, each step was deliberate and controlled, almost threatening.I refused to take a step back. That would be a sign of weakness, and I wouldn’t give him that satisfaction.When he finally spoke, his voice was deep and haunting. “Your mate made a fool of me out there.”I swallowed hard but raised my chin in defiance. “You made a fool of yourself. You broke the rules. You transformed during a match. That was your choice, not his.”Maximus’s eyes flashed dangerously. “Watch your mouth, Luna.”“I’m just stating facts,” I replied, though my heart was pounding so hard it almost hurt.He took another step closer, and I could see the rage burning under his calm exterior. “No one embarrasses me like that. No one humiliates me in front of the entire region and

  • Too Late, Alpha: The Mate He Never Wanted   Chapter 226

    Iris’s POVWe all just stared at the Alpha King, waiting to see how he would react.Then, to everyone’s surprise, Silas started laughing.It wasn’t a small chuckle or a polite laugh. It was a genuine, deep belly laugh that echoed throughout the hall.“Oh, please,” Silas said, waving his hand dismissively as his laughter subsided. “Don’t let me interrupt. Continue enjoying yourselves!”The tension in the room immediately lifted, and others chuckled.“I remember when I was once like you,” Silas continued with a fond smile on his face. “So young, so full of energy. We used to have dance competitions at these gatherings when I was younger. Some of the most fun I’ve ever had.”He looked directly at Shane, who was still frozen on the table.“Don’t stop on my account, young man,” Silas said encouragingly. “Finish your performance!”But Shane was already scrambling down from the table, his face was bright red with embarrassment. “No, no, Your Majesty. I was just... it was a bet, and I—”Silas
