IRIS For the past three days, I didn't set eyes on the alpha. It was as though he disappeared into thin air and the last time I saw him, things didn't end well. What if I didn't see him again? Okay, that was too extreme. But what if he comes back and decides not to see me again? What if he hates me now for not stopping him back then? Every morning I woke up, he was the first person that came to my mind. His forest scent from when I had seen him the first time kept lingering in my mind and it was getting difficult not to think about him. His eyes and his silvery hair were what attracted me more to him physically. He was like a demigod and his dangerous aura made me think I was falling in love with the alpha. Too good I knew that one can only be mated once and I was sure he would be mated to Raven. Of course, he likes her and she adores him. All those special treatments he showed me were just a great act of kindness from him just because I was new to the pack, right? I kept seeing An
IRIS Every expression visible on Roland's face showed he was serious with what he said. I thought he would pop out a naughty expression and claim he was joking but no, he was as serious as héll. "Please, leave," I said to him after much contemplation on how to reply to his message. There I was, hoping that he had learned his lesson when I had cautioned him earlier in the day. He still had the effrontery to appear before me, claiming to have feelings for a girl like me. I felt like smacking his head and kicking him off my life rudely but I needed to take things slow. I wasn't the rude type but I wouldn't stand to let anyone tarnish the good image I was trying to build. "Leave, Roland, I can't believe you right now. Do you have any idea what you're doing? You know this is going against Anya's back." "And why do you care about her so much? I don't like her or anything. We are just friends. I really don't get your attitude right now." He half-yelled, leaving me surprised he could rai
FINN As I got back to the house, I set for Anya's room. I needed to check up on her. When I got to the door, I knocked twice but there was no response. I knocked again but was met with the same silence. I then informed her I was coming in and opened the door. I scanned the room but couldn't find her. She wasn't on her bed or the couch. I checked the bathroom but nobody was there. "Anya?" I called out but there was no response. I checked the balcony. I looked down at the garden that was above her room but she wasn't there either. It got to the extent that I had to check her wardrobe. She was nowhere to be found. I became worried. I had earlier spoken to Damon and he said she was inside. "Maybe she stepped out for a walk," I told myself. As I was stepping out, I heard little rattling noises coming from somewhere. I tried ignoring it but it came again. I listened carefully to hear where the sound was coming from. I followed carefully and found Anya under the bed. It was dark so I c
IRIS "What?!" Alpha Finn exclaimed, scaring me a bit. "My sister won't fake date anybody. How could you even suggest that? What if she falls in love with that person and ends up getting hurt?" "Stop interrupting her, brother. This is not your problem. I need to find my love. Besides, you have Zaria and I have no one. Don't you pity me?" Anya scoffed and faced me again. Who's Zaria? Does he have a harem? He had lots of ladies he liked and I'm definitely not one of them. I began to regret why I hugged him out of the blue. I itched the back of my neck in embarrassment. "Talk to me, Iris. What should I do?" "We'll talk tomorrow," I just stood up and left without any further words. I didn't know why I did but I just had to. I had never felt so bad about my actions before. My heart suddenly pounded in my chest and I felt something like an ache. I clenched my cloth and found out my heart was palpitating. I couldn't pinpoint why I felt that way. I got back to the apartment after joggi
IRISI submitted my application to other smaller restaurants and walked dejectedly back home. The one time I was opportuned to change my life for the better, I ruined it. I knew that whoever that man was, he would find out about me and make sure I never step my feet into that place.It was then I realized I had left Anya's request pending and the initiation was taking place soon. What had I gotten myself into?I went straight to the alpha's residence. I wanted it to get over as soon as possible so I can return to my life. Since Anya and alpha Finn were siblings, maybe I could talk to Anya after the initiation.It was like killing two birds with one stone.I mustered enough courage and walked to the alpha's residence. I stared at the huge gate in contemplation. I wanted to leave the place and maybe proceed with the process another day but something struck up in me and I walked in. The gatekeeper allowed me in easily since he had seen me twice around.I located the entrance to the livin
IRIS "Oh, tell me, tell me, tell me!!" Anya kept bothering me about the plan I had in mind after I made it to her room early on Monday morning. I was going through her wardrobe to find something that'd make her look more attractive but she wasn't letting me think. "I will. Just let me finish what I'm doing." I groaned when it got unbearable. I got her a pair of black jeans and told her to wear them. She did so without hesitation. I gave her a tank top and a cardigan to wear but she frowned while accepting them. She loved wearing big clothes. Not that it was bad, it just wasn't sexy enough. "Remind me why I have to wear this." She tossed the clothes on her bed as she started spitefully at it. "Because you need to attract someone who would be willing to date you. Someone that is not Roland." I hinted. She wore the clothes, much to her dismay and they looked so good on her. I helped her apply some makeup and styled her long hair. By the time I was done, she was looking different. E
FINN My eyes never left Iris. She looked so innocent studying on her own, not knowing she was probably in danger. "What do you want with her? Who is she to you?" "What I want with her is none of your business. And as for who she is, she's my mate." He blurted and snickered. "I thought I had lost her for good." We turned simultaneously to each other. He had a smirk plastered on his ugly face while I held a frown. "I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I won't be handing any member of my pack to anyone without consent from the demanded person." He moved away from me and took a seat. "Fine by me. She'll gladly run to me anyway." I stared at the way he crossed his legs and looked around my office. Such disrespect. I called Damon to get Iris and in less than five minutes, a knock came on the door. I could smell her standing there, waiting for a response. Her rosy scent made the remaining knots in my head loose and I couldn't help but feel angry that there was a possibility she would b
IRIS Staying in my room alone that night bugged the hell outta me. Even though I had locked the door, I was still scared Fenrir would break in. I got up from my bed to make sure I didn't just lock the door in my mind. Different thoughts and scenes ran through my head as I stared at the locked door. What if he just walks in? What if he breaks the door and barges in and takes me away? I tried to brush it all off and go to bed but I found myself unlocking the door and locking it back. Just to be sure. I closed all the windows and covered myself. I shut my eyes and forced myself to sleep but the stubborn sleep wouldn't just overtake me. Just as I was about to turn, I heard the door knob twitching. I ceased my breath and laid still. The sound of feet stepping into the room made me shut my eyes and prayed. I was too scared to move. My eyes caught a glimpse of someone's shadow and I covered my mouth from screaming. It was already past twelve and there was no one I could call or contact
