Iris’s POV

Rowan didn’t move at first. He just stood in front of me with his arms crossed, and his jaw tight, like he was preparing himself for something big.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and for a moment I thought he was going to lecture me again. My stomach sank, as I braced myself for it.

But instead, he took a deep breath and began stretching.

I frowned, looking at him with suspicion “What are you doing?”

He didn’t answer. He just took a slow step back.

I furrowed my brows. “Rowan?”

“Whatever happens, I want you to remain calm.” He said calmly.

I frowned. “I'm sorry, what?”

Suddenly, it happened.

His body shifted.

I gasped, my whole body jerked back in shock. I almost slipped off the rock I was sitting on.

His bones cracked, his body twisted, his clothes tore as his body grew. He released a growl that sent a shiver down my spine. It happened faster than I could process, and in the space of a second, Rowan wasn’t standing in front of me anymore.

In his place was a massive and terrif

  • Too Late, Alpha: The Mate He Never Wanted   Chapter 195

    Iris's POV I took his arm, and we began dancing. The music had shifted to another slow song, and the King was surprisingly graceful for someone his age.“You may call me Silas,” the King said as we danced. “At least in private conversation. All this ‘Your Majesty’ business gets tiring after a while.”I couldn’t help but smile. “Alright, Silas.”“Much better,” Silas said with a grin. “Now, tell me, how are you finding the ball so far? I heard there was some excitement earlier.”I tensed slightly, but Silas’s expression was kind and non-judgmental.“It’s been... eventful,” I said carefully.“That’s one way to put it,” Silas chuckled. “I heard about the confrontation outside the ceremony hall. Between you and Alpha Eric’s mate.”“News travels fast,” I muttered.“Always does at these events,” Silas replied. “But let me know if they become a nuisance, I’ll be more than happy to kick them out. You don’t need the extra stress in your current condition.”His words were so kind, and understan

    Iris’s POVSome time later, servants came and cleared away the last of the dishes.Then the music in the hall shifted. It became livelier, and more upbeat. Several couples were already standing, and moving toward the center of the hall where space had been cleared for dancing.“Are you tired?” Rowan asked, turning to me. “Do you want to go back to our room?”I thought about it for a moment. Part of me wanted to retreat to the safety of our suite, away from all the eyes and whispers. But another part of me, the part that refused to let them win, wanted to stay.“No,” I said, surprising myself. “I’m not tired. I want to dance.”Rowan’s eyebrows rose slightly, then a slow smile spread across his face. “You want to dance?”“Yes,” I confirmed. “Is that so surprising?”“A little,” Rowan admitted. “But I’m not complaining.”He stood and offered me his hand. I took it, letting him lead me toward the dance floor.As we reached the center of the hall, the music shifted to a faster tempo. Rowan

  • Too Late, Alpha: The Mate He Never Wanted   Chapter 193

    Iris’s POVThe Alpha King was tall, probably in his sixties but thanks to his powerful werewolf gene, he still looked very strong and commanding.His hair was silver, his face had some wrinkles, due to his age, but his blue eyes were sharp and alert. He wore deep purple and gold formal robes in deep purple and gold, and a crown sat on his head.The power radiating from him was incredible. I could feel it even from across the room. This was someone who had ruled for over fifty years, someone who commanded respect from every Alpha.Everyone in the room stood immediately, bowing their heads in respect.The King walked slowly down the aisle between the tables, his eyes scanning the crowd. A kind smile was on his face as he nodded to various Alphas and Lunas.When his eyes landed on our table, he paused. He looked at Rowan, then at me, and his smile widened slightly.The King’s steps slowed as he approached our table.“Alpha Rowan,” he greeted, his deep voice carrying warmth and respect.R

    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
