Iris’s POV

“Where were you coming from?” he asked. “And where were you going?”

My fingers tightened on the sheets as I replied.. “It doesn’t matter.”

“It matters to me.”

“Well, it shouldn’t,” I snapped, as irritation flashed through. “You don’t get to ask me questions just because you saved me.”

He didn’t flinch. “I know that, but you almost died close to my border, so I am allowed to be a little curious.”

I clenched my jaw, but I kept silent.

There was silence for a few seconds before he spoke again. “Are you running from someone?”

I said nothing.

He tried a different angle. “You didn’t shift. You didn’t even try. Is your wolf unresponsive?”

I refused to say anything even as my chest ached at the reminder that my wolf had refused to respond even when I was almost dying.

“Aren’t you going to respond?” He asked calmly, an unreadable expression on his face.

I finally turned my head away, glaring at the wall.

“I’m not telling you anything,” I said. “I don’t need your help, or your pity.

  • Too Late, Alpha: The Mate He Never Wanted    Chapter 160

    Iris’s POVI tried to fight back, tried to break free, but Penelope’s grip was tight, and every time I moved, pain shot through my twisted arm.Another hit. I cried out.I was losing. I was actually losing badly.The realization hit me hard. All those months of training with Lucas and Shane, all those hours of learning to defend myself, and I was still going to lose to four bitter women in a hallway.“Not so special now, are you?” Madison sneered, grabbing my face roughly. “You’re nothing. Just a weak little mutt who got lucky.”Through the pain, I saw Valerie move. Her eyes locked on my stomach, and I saw the look in her eyes before she even moved.“No—” I started to say.But she was already swinging, her fist was aimed directly at my stomach, and at my baby.Time seemed to slow down. I saw her fist moving toward me, I saw the hatred in her eyes, I saw what was about to happen.The punch landed before I could move, knocking the air out of my lungs. I doubled over, clutching my stomac

    Iris’s POVThey lunged at me all at once.I barely had time to drop the books and raise my arms in defense as Madison’s fist came flying toward my face. I blocked it, just like Lucas had taught me, deflecting her arm to the side.But then Valerie was there, coming at me from the left. I ducked under her swing and tried to create distance, backing up against the wall.My heart was pounding. This was real. This was actually happening.Sarah came at me next, and I managed to sidestep her attack, pushing her into Madison. They stumbled, giving me a second to breathe.But it was only a second.Penelope grabbed my hair from behind, yanking my head back. Pain shot through my scalp, and I reached back instinctively, grabbing her wrist and twisting it the way Shane had shown me. She let go with a screech, and I spun around to face her.“You bitch!” she snarled.I was breathing hard now, my mind racing. Four against one. The odds weren’t good, but I could do this. I just needed to stay focused,

    Iris's POVHowever, I made a huge mistake a few weeks later.It had been a normal day. Rowan had left early for a meeting, and I had been restless in the room. I had finished the book I was reading, organized my closet twice, and I was going crazy.All I wanted was to run to the pack library and grab a new book. It was a five-minute walk, just ten minutes tops if I walked slowly. Shane was dealing with some pack issue that Asher had called him for, I didn't want to wait till he came, besides there was no use bothering him for something so small.I could rush there and back before anyone even noticed I was gone.So I slipped out of the room quietly, checking the hallway to make sure it was empty. The library wasn't far, it was just down two corridors and around a corner. I would be fine.I made it to the library without any delay, then began grabbing books that looked interesting. “Finding everything okay?” the librarian, Beatrice, asked as I was picking. Beatrice was a small, soft-sp

    Iris’s POVBy the time we made it back to my room, I was getting jumpy. Every shadow.and every sound made me tense. The encounter with Chloe had shaken me more than I thought.Shane noticed and touched my shoulder gently. “Hey. Are you okay?”“Yeah,” I said, but my voice came out shaky. “I’m fine.”Jasmine and Asher had already gone, leaving just Shane and I.“You’re not fine,” Shane said matter-of-factly. “But that’s understandable. Chloe was... intense.”I let out a weak laugh. “That’s an understatement.”“Look,” Shane said, his expression turned serious. “I’m still your guard, remember? I’m right next door. If anything happens, if you hear anything weird, if you even feel uncomfortable, you call me immediately. Got it?”I nodded. “Got it.”“I mean it, Iris,” he insisted. “Don’t try to be tough or handle things on your own. That’s what got you into trouble before.”“I know,” I said softly. “And thank you, Shane. Really.”He gave me a small smile. “That’s what friends are for. Now go

    Iris’s POVChloe looked absolutely horrible.Her eyes were red and puffy from crying, her hair was tangled and scattered like she hadn’t combed it for days, and her clothes were wrinkled and disheveled. Chloe looked nothing like the polished, classy person I had known before.But what struck me most was the raw hatred burning in her eyes as she stared at me.“I knew you were bad news from the moment I met you,” Chloe said, her voice shaking with rage. “I knew you would cause problems. But I never thought you would actually succeed in stealing Rowan from me.”“Nobody stole anything from you,” Jasmine said sharply, stepping slightly in front of me. “You never had him to begin with.”“That’s a lie!” Chloe shrieked, tears began to stream down her face. “We were engaged! We had a future together! And then she showed up and ruined everything!”“Rowan made his choice,” Shane said firmly. “And it wasn’t you.”Chloe’s face twisted with fury and pain. She pointed a shaking finger at me. “You. T

    Iris’s POV“Well, well, well! Look who it is!”I turned to see Jasmine striding toward us with Shane trailing behind her with a shit-eating grin on his face.Oh no.“I heard the most interesting news this morning,” Jasmine continued, her eyes sparkling with mischief as she got closer. “Something about a certain someone doing the walk of shame wrapped in the Alpha’s bedsheet?”I released a long sigh. This was going to be a long morning.I shot Shane a murderous glare. “I’m going to kill you.”“Worth it,” Shane said cheerfully, not looking remotely sorry.Rowan rolled his eyes at his sister. “Don’t you have better things to do than gossip?”Jasmine grinned in response. “No, I don’t.”He lifted an eyebrow. “What about those files I gave you a few weeks ago to work on?”She gave him an unimpressed look. “How is that better than gossiping, Rowan? This is way more entertaining than budget reports.”“Doing budget reports is productive. It helps in the running of the pack,” Rowan said dryly.
