Too Late, Alpha: The Mate He Never Wanted Chapter 189
Iris’s POVThe moment we were alone, I kicked off my shoes and collapsed on the bed with a groan.Rowan lifted an eyebrow in amusement.“My feet are killing me,” I complained. “I’m so exhausted from all those introductions.”“We have about two and a half hours before we need to get ready for the ceremony,” Rowan said, sitting beside me. “You should rest.”“I don’t think I can sleep,” I admitted. “I’m too anxious.”“Then just close your eyes and breathe,” Rowan suggested. “Like Lucas taught you.”I nodded and closed my eyes, focusing on my breathing.We stayed like that for a while, and I felt some of my tension ease.“Better?” Rowan asked after a while.“A little,” I admitted, opening my eyes.There was a knock at the door, and palace staff entered with our luggage. They placed everything carefully in the bedroom, then bowed and left.I must have dozed off at some point because the next thing I knew, Rowan was gently shaking my shoulder.“Iris,” he said softly. “It’s time to get ready

Iris’s POVAs we drove through the Alpha King’s territory, I looked out the window, watching everything. Rowan’s pack was the second largest after the Alpha King’s pack, so the difference in size wasn’t much. Some pack members stopped to watch our car pass.“It’s impressive, isn’t it?” Jasmine said, looking out the window too.“Very,” I agreed.After about fifteen minutes, we arrived at the palace, and it was really a palace. It was a massive castle with towers and balconies, surrounded by beautiful gardens. It looked like something in a fairy tale.“Wow,” Jasmine breathed.“Yeah,” Shane muttered. “It’s breathtaking.”The car stopped at the main entrance, and palace staff immediately rushed forward to help us out. Rowan exited first, then turned to help me down.As I stepped out of the car, I felt every eye turn toward us. There were other Alphas and their mates arriving as well, they were all dressed in formal attire.Rowan kept his arm firmly around my waist as we walked toward the

Iris’s POV“You look dashing in that tux,” I murmured as Rowan and I headed downstairs.Rowan looked incredibly handsome in his dark emerald green tuxedo that matched my emerald dress. The tuxedo fit him perfectly, it had probably been tailored for him.Shane and Jasmine were waiting by the cars.Jasmine’s face lit up when she saw me. “Iris! That dress is stunning!”“Thank you,” I said with a small smile. “Rowan had it made for me.”“Nice one, bro.” Jasmine said, grinning at her brother. She was dressed in a beautiful blue gown that complemented her features perfectly.Shane was wearing a tuxedo too, looking uncomfortable in the fancy clothes. He tugged at his collar and gave me a pained look that made me laugh.“You look miserable,” I commented.“I hate these things,” Shane muttered.“You look good though,” Jasmine teased, earning a glare from Shane.Rowan cleared his throat, drawing our attention. “Is everyone ready?”“As ready as we’ll ever be,” Jasmine said cheerfully. She had bee

Iris’s POVImmediately I got inside the room, I started preparing for our leaving. My bags were already packed, and were sitting by the door, but I still needed to shower and get dressed.I stepped into the bathroom and turned on the water, letting it heat up while I undressed. The steam began to fill the room, and I stepped under the spray with a sigh.The hot water felt amazing on my tense muscles. I closed my eyes, trying to let it wash away some of the anxiety I was feeling.I was so lost in thought that I didn’t hear the bathroom door open. But I felt it when familiar hands gently touched my waist.I wasn't startled. I knew those hands so well.“Hey,” Rowan murmured softly against my ear, his arms wrapping around me from behind.“Hey,” I replied, leaning back against his chest.His hands roamed my body slowly, not in a sexual way, but in a comforting, loving way. Like he was reminding me that he was here for me.Then he pressed soft kisses across my shoulder, moving up to my neck

Iris’s POVThe day we would leave was finally here.I woke up before dawn, and my heart was already racing. For two weeks, I had been preparing myself mentally and emotionally for this moment. Two weeks of meditation with Lucas, of breathing exercises, of trying to convince myself I could handle facing Eric, Zara, and Tiffany.But now that the day was actually here, all that preparation felt useless.My chest felt tight, like someone was squeezing it. My hands were shaking. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Tiffany’s face, heard Zara’s voice, and remembered all the pain they had caused.“Breathe,” I whispered to myself, sitting up in bed. “Just breathe.”I tried the exercises Lucas had taught me. Breathe in through my nose, hold and count to four, then breathe out through my mouth. Again. Again.It wasn’t working. My heart was still pounding. My chest was still tight.The door opened quietly, and Rowan walked in. He must have been up early, probably arranging our last-minute preparat
Too Late, Alpha: The Mate He Never Wanted Chapter 184
Iris’s POVI took a deep breath and did as Lucas instructed. I reached inward, searching for that presence that had been missing for so long.At first, there was nothing. Just emptiness where my wolf should have been.But then, I felt something so faint I almost missed it. It was not really a presence, it was more like an echo, or a whisper.My wolf was still there, buried deep.Tears pricked at my eyes, but I kept them closed, and focused as I kept reaching for that faint connection.“Don’t push,” Lucas warned, as if he could sense what I was doing. “Just acknowledge it. Let her know you’re there, that you’re ready when she is.”I did as he said, simply acknowledging that faint whisper without trying to force it. After a moment, I felt myself pulling back, returning back to reality.“Open your eyes slowly,” Lucas instructed.I blinked my eyes open, adjusting to the light. Lucas was watching me with an unreadable expression.“How do you feel?” he asked.“Different,” I admitted. “I fee
