Semua Bab Married to the Lycan Monster : Bab 41 - Bab 50

41. IRIS. I woke up with a jumpstart. My body was at alert and I was having severe palpitations. It just had to be a dream. I leaned back against the bed and placed a hand on my head as I sighed in resigned relief. It felt so real. So so real. A lucid dream? It had to be. In that dream, I had been running for my life after I had seen a way to finally escape Damon and his rather annoying mother. It felt like redemption. I was finally going to be free and the fear in my heart didn't matter because it was soon going to be over. Just like how it had started. But things became strange when I got to a clearing that had water running across. I had been deeply shaken by the figures I had seen, becoming more terrified when they began to shift into very large wolves. I could still feel the terror I had experienced from watching them change into animals or was it the fear that pierced through my chest when a larger beast, far more taller, standing at over seven feet

43. IRIS. My feet sank into wet humus as I ran through a dark forest. Twigs snapped and leaves slapped my body as I kept running for my life. I had seen three beasts transform before me. And they'd seen me before I could hide and as expected, began to pursue after me, running with great speed. All I could hear was the thump of my heart beat against my chest, the clap of thunder, the sound of leaves under my feet, the sound of limbs running after me and finally, scary, menacing growls that drew close to me as time went on. Then it started to rain. Lightning struck several times and at one point, I believed it was going to come in contact with me and burn me before these beasts caught up with me. But at least, that would have been better. As the ground got wetter and slipperier, I began to lose my footing and for every fall I made, they drew closer. I was sure not faster than they were but they couldn't catch up with me and that scared me the most. It p

45. IRIS. The vegetal aroma of strong green tea wafted into my nostrils, rousing me out of my sleep. I heard a metal scrape and the sound of thick fabric swishing. My eyes fluttered open and the first thing I did was stretch out my hand towards the other side of the bed. It was empty. I turned to see that the only traces of his presence in this room at night was the dip on the pillow and the slight ruffle of the bed. I sighed in disappointment, wishing I'd woken up to him. Well, I was asking for too much already. I turned towards the other side to see Danika's five foot nine frame stepping away from the window. "Good morning." She greeted in the politest tone she could muster. I guess. "Where's Damon?" "He left very early in the morning, ma'am." I shifted uncomfortably in my bed, disliking how she addressed me. I knew she was doing her job but I wasn't some old lady, waiting for death to come take her away. "So you know when he'l

47. AUTHOR POV Enid didn't miss the look of surprise on Iris's face. Though the beautiful lady had tried to conceal it with a neutral expression and a smile. This had her wondering if Damon had told her anything about the betrothal. Enid decided to stay quiet. It wasn't in her place to know or say anything. Iris blinked, her golden eyes dilating slightly. Her dark hair blew with the wind. She was a beautiful woman. Just as Enid was about to ask if Iris was okay, her phone buzzed in her pocket. She slid her phone out of her pocket and looked down to see who the caller was. She looked from Iris and back to her phone before clearing her throat sliding out of the swing with immediate effect. "Uhm, I have to leave, Iris." Enid said in a hurried voice. Iris sat up, her golden gaze widening slightly in surprise. She slid out of the swing, wiping off the crease from her gown as she looked up at Enid. "I hope all is well?" Enid laughed nervously and no

49. AUTHOR Seeing the look of shock and anger on Enid's face, Garrick pushed to his feet and went to stand behind her till she pulled the phone from her ear and turned to him. "What's wrong, sweetheart?" He asked. "What's going on? Something wrong?" She slipped her fingers through her hair and gritted her teeth as she walked from one end of the room to the other. She finally stopped, her shoulders sagged. "It's my Dad ." Garrick went over to where she stood and softly cupped her cheeks. "And what about him? Did something happen?" Bringing both hands to her face, she pulled away from his hold and put her clothes in order. She pulled at the hem of her dress and zipped her pants back up before walking over to the couch and picking up her purse. She zipped it close and turned to Garrick with a sad smile. "I really have to go, Garrick." His brows furrowed and he walked back to where she stood and held her arm. "Why? What's wrong? You're not sa
