FINN "Well, it's a good thing Damon was there to stop you on time." My doctor sighed. "Any second later would have been lethal to her. She'd be fine and will probably wake up soon." "How soon?" I asked. "In like three or four days. Could be less." He shrugged. "Next time, try to be conscious of your actions. You could have killed her." He patted my shoulder and walked out of the room. "You finally heeded my advice. Look who's standing alright now." Damon grinned. He had successfully pleased his ego. I groaned and relaxed my back on the chair. "But was it that good?""Do you wanna hear the painful truth?" I grumbled with my eyes closed. "Yeah!" He sat beside me and put his hand across my shoulder. "It's the best I've ever come across," I said. I was pained though. I just confessed that Iris's blood tasted better than that of Zaria's. "You don't mean it!" He exclaimed. "Are you sure you're not being brainwashed to say this? The alpha Finn I know would never say this." "I'm ser

IRIS "I want you." Alpha Finn's voice echoed in my head. I stared up at him with parted lips. I was gobsmacked by his statement. They felt raw and intimate in a bad way. I was gradually losing my sense of reasoning because of the way he stared back at me. I could already imagine him pounding deep into me. 'Keep it together, Iris.' I scolded myself mentally and looked away from him. "I don't know what you mean, alpha Finn," I said to him, feigning ignorance. His feet moved and in one swift move, he was sitting down beside me on the bed. "I know you have lots of questions running through your mind and my aim tonight is to ease those thoughts." His words brought about peace and comfort to my troubled soul. "I'm a vampire." He said. Maybe I didn't hear or understand what he said at first and just nodded. Seconds later, I was turning my head sharply to look at him. "Sorry?!" I exclaimed. "Yeah, you heard me. I'm a vampire. Well, half vampire half werewolf. My dad is the latter while

FINN I pulled up in front of Iris' apartment and got out of my car. I pressed the lock button and headed inside. As I climbed up the staircase, I saw Raven coming from afar. There was no way I could dodge her since she had already seen me. I just squeezed my face and continued walking up. As we got closer to each other, she slipped on spilled water and almost fell but I was quick to catch her. Her headset had fallen from over her head and crashed to the ground. "Thanks." She said and moved away from me. She picked up her headset and continued her way downstairs. "Raven," I called out. She stopped and turned to me. "Yes, Alpha Finn." She responded. "I'll have my beta get you a new one," I told her. "Really? Thanks." She smiled and raced downstairs. I shook my head at her childishness and when I turned, I found Iris at the top of the stairs staring at me. She had a mop in her left hand and a trash can in the other. "There's water over there." I pointed to the slippery area. "I

IRIS That morning, I packed my books and headed straight for school. I suddenly remembered that I had a job and I didn't quit officially. I didn't know if anyone even missed my services. My hands slowly trailed the place where Finn had bitten this morning before he left. There was no mark or scar but I could still feel the fresh bite. I smiled and walked through the big gates. I walked to my locker dreamily, ignoring everyone and everything around me. All I could think of was only Finn and our splendid night together. I was too tired to even get up and have my bath but then, I had missed out on a lot in school and I didn't want to fall back in any area. "Earth to Iris!" I heard the familiar shriek of Anya. I flinched out of my cloudy thoughts and came face to face with an indifferent-looking Anya. I hadn't told her of her brother and me and I wondered if he said anything to her. This was a typical 'my best friend's brother' kinda scenario and I tried to avoid such but it seemed th

IRIS After school, I found myself in Damon's class again. He was even more strict than on my first day. He scolded me a lot and made me do hard stuff I felt was too early for me to do. "I'm tired, okay?" I said in frustration when I wasn't getting it. It was just the two of us in the room again. I growled angrily and sat on the floor. "Could be nicer? I'm new to this and I feel you're pushing me too hard." I complained. He ruffled his hair and turned to the wall. I could tell he was angry about something but he wouldn't just let it out. What was bothering him? He took some minutes of silence before turning back to me. "I'm sorry, okay? I just can't help it. He's making me lose my mind." He groaned and sat down beside me on the floor. He pushed his head back to the wall and shut his eyes. "Do you wanna talk about it?" I asked. "Of course. He's your boyfriend after all." He said. My face reddened at his statement. It was still all new to me. Who knew that a poor, battered girl li
