Iris’s POV

I woke up to the scent of food.

For a second, I thought I was dreaming, probably still unconscious. My body was too sore to move, so I kept my eyes shut. But the smell kept tugging at me sharply, like it was poking at my hunger with a stick. My stomach twisted painfully, and rumbled sharply, reminding me that I hadn’t eaten in a long time.

I forced my eyes open.

The ceiling was different from the last room. I was in a different room from the one I had woken up in before.

I blinked a few more times and turned my head.

There was a small table a few feet away. On it, there was a covered tray of food. Beside it, there was a note.

I sat up slowly, groaning as all my muscles ached. Pain shot through my ribs, and I winced. I touched my injuries to realize that someone had redressed the wounds while I was unconscious.

My stomach growled again.

I reached for the note first.

‘Eat up. You need it to heal faster. –R.’

I stared at it for a long moment, then I looked at the covered tray

  • Too Late, Alpha: The Mate He Never Wanted    Chapter 163

    Iris’s POVWhen I woke up, my mind was foggy and disoriented. Everything felt heavy. But I felt better than before, though I was still tired.The first thing I noticed was the smell of antiseptic and herbs.The second thing I noticed was the warm feeling on my hand. Someone was holding it tightly.I forced my eyes open, blinking against the bright lights. My vision cleared slowly. I could see white walls, confirming my guess that I was at the pack clinic.I glanced at my hand beside me, and I saw Rowan.He was sitting in a chair beside the bed with both of his hands wrapped around mine. His head was bowed, and I could see the tension in his shoulders.“Rowan?” I croaked, my voice was rough.His head snapped up immediately, and the relief that flooded his face was instant.“Oh thank the moon goddess,” he breathed, squeezing my hand tighter. “You’re okay. You’re awake.”I tried to sit up, but my body wasn’t cooperating. Everything felt weak and shaky.“Easy,” Rowan said quickly, standin

    Iris’s POVI stood there in the hallway, breathing hard, my fists still clenched at my sides. Blood stained my body, some of it was mine, but most of it was theirs.I watched as the four of them ran away. I felt the rage inside me slowly begin to fade.My wolf, who had been so present just moments ago, started to retreat. The burning in my chest cooled. My sharp senses started to dull, and the strength that had flooded through me began to drain away.“No,” I whispered, reaching for that feeling. “No, don’t go. Stay.”But she was already fading, pulling back into whatever dark corner that she had been hiding in for the past few months.“Please,” I begged, my voice cracking. “Please don’t leave me again.”But it was too late.The presence disappeared completely, leaving behind the same cold, empty silence that had filled me since the day Evie died.My wolf was gone.Again.My legs gave out, and I collapsed to my knees on the blood-stained floor. The adrenaline that had been keeping me u

    Iris's POVAnd then I felt it.My wolf.For the first time since Evie died, I felt her presence inside me. It was not like a faint whisper or a distant echo, but a real, solid presence that burned hot and fierce in my chest.She was angry. So angry. And she wanted blood.My body moved before my mind could catch up. Valerie was closest, still standing there with her fist raised like she was about to strike again. I grabbed her wrist mid-swing and twisted hard. The crack of bone was loud, and Valerie's scream echoed in the hallway."You bitch!" she shrieked, cradling her broken wrist.But I was already moving faster than I had ever moved before. Sarah lunged at me, but she was moving in slow motion compared to me now. I sidestepped her easily and landed a punch to her ribs that sent her flying backward into the wall. Sarah crumpled to the floor, gasping for air."What the hell—" Madison started, but I was already on her.My fist connected with her face, and I felt her nose break under

    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
