Iris’s POV

The healer’s soft voice pulled me out of my thoughts. “Sit down, please. Let me take a look at that hand.”

My legs shook slightly as I lowered myself onto the edge of the bed. She reached for my injured hand carefully and gently. The moment she touched it, I flinched.

“You’ve done some damage here,” she murmured, examining the swollen skin. “It’s not broken all the way, but very close. You’ll need it wrapped and kept still for a while.”

I nodded, but her words barely registered. My mind wasn’t on my hand. It wasn’t even in this room. It was back at that moment. My mind kept replaying it: Rowan’s mouth crashing against mine, his grip on my waist, my body flush against his, the way he had kissed me like he wanted to devour me.

I pressed my lips together, trying to erase the memory, but it only made me more aware of how tender they felt.

God. What was wrong with me?

I should’ve pushed him away. I should’ve screamed at him. I should’ve done anything, but instead, I pulled him cl

So... they kissed 🫣. Tell me what you think.

  • Too Late, Alpha: The Mate He Never Wanted   Chapter 192

    Iris’s POVZara’s face went pale, taking a step back. Eric stepped forward quickly, his hands raised.“That’s enough, Zara,” Eric snapped. “Let’s go inside now.”Rowan ignored them, turning back to me instead as his expression softened immediately. “Come on,” he said gently, guiding me toward the open doors.I nodded, staying silent. My legs felt shaky as we walked through the massive golden doors, leaving Eric, Zara, and Tiffany behind us in the hallway.As soon as we were inside, I felt like I could breathe again. But I was still shaking, trying to hold myself together.“I’ve got you,” Rowan murmured, his arm tightening around my waist. “You did so well, Iris. I’m so proud of you.”“I almost broke,” I whispered. “For a moment, I almost—”“But you didn’t,” Rowan interrupted gently. “You didn’t allow them see you break.”Shane and Jasmine caught up to us, both looking furious.“That woman is vile,” Jasmine hissed.“She’s going to pay,” Shane added darkly. “One way or another.”“Not he

  • Too Late, Alpha: The Mate He Never Wanted   Chapter 191

    Iris's POVFrom the shock on Zara and Tiffany’s faces, it was clear they hadn’t been expecting to see me here. They looked like they hadn’t expected to see me alive. Eric probably hadn’t told them about our encounter at Rowan’s pack weeks ago.Zara tried to hide her shock, but she couldn’t. Her eyes widened before she schooled her expression into something more neutral. But I had seen the flash of surprise and disbelief that I was standing here.“Well, well,” Zara said, her voice dripping with false sweetness. She looked me up and down, her lip curling slightly. “Iris. What a surprise. I didn’t realize they let just anyone attend the Alpha King’s ball these days.”The insult was clear. She was implying I didn’t belong here, that I wasn’t good enough to be in attendance.Inside, I was shaking. My heart was pounding so hard every instinct screamed at me to run and get away from these people who had caused me so much pain.But outside, I remained calm and steady. I lifted my chin slightl

  • Too Late, Alpha: The Mate He Never Wanted   Chapter 190

    Iris's POV My heart clenched. I had spent the whole day hoping to avoid them, and now there was nowhere to hide.Time seemed to slow down. My vision blurred as I stared at them. Eric was in a black tuxedo, looking as polished as always. Zara was in a red dress that was far too revealing with her hand possessively on Eric’s arm. Tiffany looked older than the last time I had seen her, she was wearing a dress that matched her mother’s.It became hard to breathe. My hands started to shake as all the meditation, all the preparation, and everything Lucas had taught me, all seemed to fly out of my head.Then I felt Rowan’s arm tighten around my waist.“Breathe,” he murmured quietly, loud enough for only me to hear. “Just breathe, Iris. I’ve got you.”I forced myself to breathe. I inhaled through my nose, held for four seconds, then exhaled through my mouth.We were still walking forward, getting closer to the doors, and getting closer to them.Eric hadn’t noticed us yet. He was saying somet

  • 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.

  • Too Late, Alpha: The Mate He Never Wanted   Chapter 188

    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

  • Too Late, Alpha: The Mate He Never Wanted   Chapter 187

    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
