IRIS My heart fell to my stomach countless times. The rate of my heartbeat increased and I had to leave before I did anything stupid. I felt pains that were enough to make me cry. Anya, Roland, Jason, and Finn. All had done a very strong thing to me tonight. I was close to breaking down but I couldn't do it in public. I didn't bother going back to the party. It was already over for me. I removed my heels and began walking home. I was mentally tired and stressed out. I didn't know what to think anymore. My entire world was crumbling down for the third time. I was lost and hopeless. Maybe it was just my fate to always feel this way whenever I was an inch close to happiness. My father died almost to my sixth birthday. He promised to get me a unicorn as a birthday present and lots of fairytale books. I was almost killed after Fenrir finally realized I was mated to him. He chose Lyra over me. And now when I had seen a mate that would accept me, he went right back to the ex that he cl

IRIS How dare he show his face to me after I told him to stay away from me? I would never forgive him. The fact that he didn't want to tell me about the kiss was enough proof to judge him. I needed closure. I needed to go out and clear my head. I got invited to the prom afterparty immediately after our test. The party was to be held that same evening. I planned never to go to a party but desperate times call for desperate measures. I needed my revenge to be served hot. I opened my wardrobe in search of something skimpy. I settled for a crop top, skinny jeans, and a jacket. I applied a little makeup before walking out of the room. I locked my door and exited the building. I ambled toward the road and stopped a taxi. I was driven to the manor where the party was taking place. It seemed it was already in full swing as the entire living room was crowded. Liam's parents had died in an accident, leaving the kid alone to live his reckless life. He threw parties almost every Friday and

FINN I didn't get to see Iris that night. I went home with Anya while Damon and Arnold tightened security. But I was sure that even with the security, my grandfather could do anything with his black magic. The only way was to get rid of him. I freshened up and went to my study. I needed to still look for ways to stop the ritual and clear my head. I had to apologize to Iris, protect her, and get rid of that old man for good or get him to stop his acts. I went back to the hospital the next day to meet Jason standing outside. He was staring at Iris through my window. Anya was standing right beside him, also looking at Iris. I felt my anger build up and I walked up straight to him. "What are you doing here?" I asked. "Good morning, Alpha Finn." "I don't want to see you here. Get out." I pointed to the door. But he wasn't yielding. He just stood there, looking pitiful. "I'm sorry, Alpha Finn. I just came here to see my friend. I know I haven't been the best friend to her. I mean,

FINN Finding my grandfather wasn't a big deal. My father and I had visited him since I was very young. I think I was seven years old when we went to him but I could remember how to get into his kingdom from start to finish. With the anger in me, I found my way to the cliff. I looked down and saw the rapidly moving water. Any random stranger would definitely not be able to get in because they didn't know what was down there. You could only get in when you think about a Golden Gate guarded by black demons. The water had a way of reading someone's mind. That was the power of black magic and that was why it was banned from coming into the world. It was dangerous and could serve as a tool for world domination. And it was what my grandfather had used to live for many years now. I made sure that I wasn't followed by anyone before jumping off the cliff with the gate in my mind. I held my breath as the water carried me. Soon, I arrived at the place. My clothes and my skin were dry. Such ev

IRIS Finn and I walked down to the nearest cafe. We decided to stay outside because of the scorching sun. After making sure I was seated, he went to the lemonade stand. I was left with my thoughts. I had witnessed everything that had happened but I was unconscious and scared. Though I saw Finn, Damon, and Anya fighting, I couldn't reach out to them. I thought I'd never wake up but after some days, I was able to get up on my feet. That was when I met Finn talking to the lady. She seemed pretty nice to have brought him cakes. I wished I had a taste of it. "Here," Finna announced, breaking me from my thoughts. "Thank you," I smiled and took the glass from him. He sat down while I sipped the juice. Finn was the only person on my mind when I woke up. I was supposed to be mad at him for what had happened between him and Zaria but I wasn't. "How are you feeling?" He asked. "I'm fine, I think so. I don't feel any pain in my head or any part of my body. I think I'm okay." I shrugged. H
