Iris POVI haven't agreed yet, and still, I am in captivity. My mind has been imprisoned by Thor, making me unable to close my eyes without being haunted by his enticing whispers in my head.It has been a couple of days, and my dreams are all fantasy about him. Sometimes, I am afraid to look Thor in his eyes, believing that my thirst for him will be seen in my eyes.But since that day that I left his room, turning his offer down to serve me, he has been distant, keeping to himself, in his room most of the days.I hardly see him, and when I get the chance to, he simply smiles, not saying much, which left me with thoughts about him, and now, I realized why my dreams are about him.None of the elders has visited or spoken to me since I released Thor, and I think their silence is a way of protesting against his release.The pressure to do the right thing is becoming too much of a burden to think about, and today, I feel too drained to get out of bed. So, I g

Thor POVWhen I reached Iris, her lips twisted in a tight pout as she shot me a what-are-you-doing-here gaze, but I smiled at her.Not giving a shit about the stares I was getting, I pulled out a chair and sat beside her.Call at jealousy because that's exactly what I felt, and I wanted to see my competitions, look them in their eyes, and remember their faces, imprinting them in my mind for future purposes."What are you doing here!" Dach shouted, jumping to his feet.If I wasn't at a disadvantage here, I would have rushed to him and slammed his face into this table until his blood soaked its smooth wooden surface.That unfortunate night, he stood beside Hatzis, laughing with a glass of wine in his hand, and treating me like an ally just to spit in my face at the end of the night while the silver chain burned into my skin."Remis, Zika, it's good to see you two after nineteen years," I mumbled

Thor POVSqueezing my fist tightly, I rested my head against the wall, waiting for Iris, dying to pick up her voice and scent within the walls of this mansion.How could she cage me in this room while she's out there, doing who knows what! These walls seemed to be closing up on me as my anger grew uncontrollable.But finally, I picked up Iris's scent and heard her say, "You all can leave now."Casting my gaze on the doorway, I watched as it opened, and Iris walked inside.After shutting the door, she crossed her arm, staring intensely at me as her face hardened.When it was just us in the mansion, Iris threw her hands in the air and lashed out, "What were you thinking Thor, walking in there! You could have gotten your ass killed! Are you trying to make life harder for me!" She was already hysterical, and I knew letting my anger determine my words would make things ugly, so suppressing my rage, I decided to be the reasonable one in this conversation."I guess all that you have said bef

Iris PovA fool is what I am for agreeing to Thor's bizarre rule and trusting him that he would not betray me and my pack in the long run since he refused to mark me.Yet, I decided to be a clod because trust goes both ways, and maybe after giving it to him, he would let go of whatever trauma that has him so dubious about things.So, I buried my desire to slap him in the face and tried to think about what I was going to do this morning. But there is not much I can do today because Thor had depleted me of every vitality in my bone, and I'm laying on my bed, hoping that I have no vital duty to attend to today.But my heart suddenly sunk and a feeling of annoyance overwhelmed me when the was a knock on my room door."Rona, what is it?!" I mumbled, sinking deep into my bed."My Luna, you have a messenger here to see you!" "Can't you just pass on his message to me!" "He requested that he tell you the message to you himself other than anyone else." Knowing how tight my schedule is, why d

Iris POV The days went by way quicker than I wanted, and since I agreed to attend the ball, I had to go to this damned party, even though this morning, I kind of have this awful gut feeling. So, I forced myself out of bed because it was useless trying to sleep when there was an eventful day ahead of me, and I was nervous. Not caring to wear something on my bare feet, I walked out of my room, not bothering to change clothes or brush my hair, and headed towards Thor's bedroom. When I reached his door, I stood in front of it staring down at the black handle with a sense of hesitation that kept bubbling inside me. Suddenly, the door opened, and standing two feet away from me was Thor, staring into my eyes with a soft expression as he gazed at me with concern. "Morning?" Thor muttered, opening the door more widely so I could enter, and then closing it behind me. "It's still so early, why aren't you resting. It's going to be a long journey-" "I can't sleep," I interrupted, walking tow
