Iris found her mouth went dry. There wasn't a little amount of saliva left for her to gulp. His big mouth opened coming towards her and all she could do was to close her eyes. A fresh trail of tears appeared just by imagining her death in the hand of a wolf that too inside a luxurious room. The man standing near the window was no longer the man but a ferocious wolf who chose to hover over her. Iris kept on cursing herself for extending her hand to pat his head. It wasn't a dog that she would pat and he would be wagging his tail making a little purr sound. It was a big bad wolf whose one claw was enough to rip her heart open. What sort of a possessed person she did become a few minutes back to take such drastic steps she didn't know.Seconds passed instead of throbbing pain from her back she didn't feel anything. Rather a sudden rush of warmness with sticky fluids touched her neck. "Lick. Not again." She frowned scoffing mentally when she realized the wolf was lic

The next morning when Iris woke up she found herself lying in the same room wrapped in a sheet. Her eyes landed on the nightstand where the water jug was kept. Balancing her body on her elbow she leaned a little to grab the jug to quench her thirst. But it wasn't easy especially when her right shoulder was badly injured. She extended her hand and carefully held the jug to pour herself a glass of water. She was about to pour the water when the door of her room burst open taking her attention completely away from the current task she was doing. As a result, her trembling hand missed holding the jug which fell on the floor shattering into pieces. Her eyes remained widened we she met those petrifying golden ones looking at her with some deadly intensity.  "Sorry... I didn't....." She tried to apologize for breaking the water jug but raised his hand to stop her in the middle. "It's fine." His voice w

Two days passed and all Iris did was to wake up finish her morning routine take a shower and went back to sleep after taking medicine. Since Leonard and they shared that complicated encounter, she hadn't seen him coming to her room anymore. Her back healed and the pain subdued. Few faint scars were there along with that the marking of the knife stab. But the pain left and so did the other wounds. Still, the horrible memories were fresh in her mind. Now and then she was looking around her to confirm Leonard's absence. His presence always brought terror and pain to her. These days she didn't need to leave the room to show up as Leonard's maid. Even though she asked Agnes whether she was spared or not, Agnes chose to keep her mouth shut. Every night she went to sleep with a fear of waking up in front of him or beside him. Since she was utterly bruised he had twice kept her in his room.The day was sunny which made her mind a little happy. After taking the shower she

Iris I always had a dream of marrying the man whom I would love with my heart and soul. I always thought to be in the arms of a man who would be the reason for my happiness and the cause of my well-being. I have always seen my father mourning my mother's death and I have also seen his love for her. I believed marriage is a sacred bond where not only two body becomes one but two souls entangled together. My man was always David since I started attending my classes in the UK. It was not because we had started dating each other, it is because we knew we are the reason for each other's happiness and betterment. "Dave..." A whisper left my mouth as I sat on the floor inside the room that was allotted by Alpha. I didn't even know what is this stupid mating ceremony or marking until I hear some whispers. The first person I could ask was the maid who was attending me since I started more time lying on a bed being injured. But one particular statement inflicted more fear in my system than Le

"I don't........" "What did you say?" Leonard let out a dry chuckle asking her the question. "I don't....." Iris spoke maintaining the same authoritative tone. "You are highly mistaken...." Leonard took a step closer to her making her flinch. "If you think....." He took another step closing the remaining distance in between them. "that your opinion matters." And thus he grabbed her throat in his tight grip giving it a scary squeeze to make her realize who had the ultimate power to take the final decision. "Pardon Alpha, you may......" Leonard tilted his head towards Jonathan who immediately closed his mouth being scared of dying a painful death in his hand. "I know her words or acceptance doesn't matter. But I wish to hear her sweet voice accepting her defeat in front of me." Leonard turned his head towards Iris watching her face going red due to lack of oxygen. Bringing his mouth close to her ears he whispered seductively to scare the shit out of her. "If you say yes, the proce
