DYLANI woke up to Iris's body convulsing on top of mine. She was drenched in sweat, and her eyes were snapped shut. I held onto her like my life depended on it. The physician had only told me to make sure that I had body contact with her which I have been doing all night long, so what could be wrong with her? I had been offering myself as support to make sure that she was okay. So why wasn't she okay, and why was she shaking to the point of sweating out in mass?"Iris?" I called out to her, but she didn't wake up. Instead, it only got worse. Damn it. If she was a werewolf, then I would know exactly what to do, but she wasn't one. She was a human, and I didn't understand their physiology. How was I supposed to help her out of this one?I have tried the close body contact, but it wasn't as effective as I had hoped."Wake up, Iris. This isn't funny anymore, and I don't like it," I whispered to her in a stern voice, but she wouldn't budge. Left with no other option, I threw off the blank

Iris. "What happened last night? And why does he want to see me?" I interrogated my maids as they helped me out of bed to get me cleaned up and ready for the morning. I had been trying to come up with instances as to why he said that I had lied to him, but there was nothing popping up in my brain. Everything felt blank and I couldn't understand what he meant by that statement. Did Kavan tell him anything? No! I highly doubt that. Kavan had given me his word that he would not say a word to Dylan and that he would keep whatever we discussed between us a secret. Besides, we dropped him off last night. If Dylan was with me for the better part of the night, then it only meant that he didn’t see Kavan yesterday after we came back. But if he did not see Kavan and the two of them didn’t have any discussion whatsoever amongst themselves, then what on earth did he mean by saying I had lied to him and betrayed him? None of it was making any sense. Did I suffer a concussion last night or had my

IRIS True to his words, Dylan actually ordered the maids to serve us breakfast in my room. I thought that he was joking but apparently, he wasn't. He was actually serious about it. What exactly had gotten into him? And why was he suddenly trying to be nice? I was not used to this side of him and inasmuch as it sounded inviting, it still felt strange that he was doing this. I mean, I expected him to lash out at me. I expected him to yell and get angry because of what I had said to him earlier, but he didn't look angry or upset, to say the very least. If anything, he had a look of determination and seriousness on his face. The maids trooped into my room with different dishes and different portions of food neatly and nicely covered. They set a table in front of us and placed them one at a time till they were completely done. "All of this looks delicious." I ran my tongue over my lips and swallowed deeply. My stomach grumbled in hunger. I couldn't believe that I had tried to get away fr

IRIS Shit! How did he find out about that? I had intentionally hid it from him, so how on earth did he find out that I was hiding something like that from him? Did Kavan maybe say something to him when they were discussing together? I highly doubted that. Kavan would not have said anything as long as I didn't authorize him to do so. Besides, he had been with us for the greater part of yesterday. Although Dylan was suspicious, he didn't look like someone who knew what was going on between me and his best friend. Kavan promised not to say anything. He gave me his word, and I actually believed that he didn't say anything to Dylan. Or maybe he called him here when I was knocked out yesterday? I didn't think that he did as well because the maids didn't mention anything about him coming here. They only said that the physician was the one who came to administer treatment to me and that Dylan was the one who spent the night with me, so there was no way that he could have come here after we

GISELLE. I felt infuriated to see them in that position when I had walked in to serve him tea. Anger was nothing but understatement to what I was feeling right now. They were just inches away from kissing if I hadn't walked in when I did. It was bad enough already that I couldn’t get him for myself. All my laid down plans to make him fall for me had not been working and were only backfiring. And now I would also have to deal with the fact that he was slowly falling for Iris? When she came to the mansion for the very first time, he kept on ranting about how he hated her guts and how he hated the fact that she was stubborn and didn't listen to a thing that he said. But now, it felt as if he was slowly starting to like that guts that he despised so much from the very beginning. I didn't know what was happening to him or when everything started going wrong, but Dylan was slowly starting to get invested in Iris. If it continued like that, then my shot at getting him and claiming him f
