"You are not fat, but this dress makes you look like it." "Lily! This is the eighth dress that you are finding fault in." "You don't get married every day! Now, go back and try the chiffon one." Iris rolled her eyes but took the ninth wedding dress Lily was holding out for her to go and try out. She never really had friends, so little things were so uncommon for her. Ever since Lily and Sussane came into her life, Iris realized what it meant to be a girl. Before, she had neither time nor money to enjoy life. Now, she had friends to go shopping with and an Alpha's credit card to spoil her. The feeling of doing something for herself, simply for the sake of it, was exhilarating. That was the only reason why she hadn't whined as much as she was suffering due to shopping with Lily and Sussane wasn't much help either, as she sat munching fries and giggling now and then at the two girls bickering over dresses. Lily seemed over-excited, which Iris believed was because her brother was fina

The wet sand felt soothing to their feet as Dom and Iris silently walked side-by-side barefoot along the Hawaiian beach.They had spent the last couple of hours successfully avoiding the rest of the family and the island inhabitants. Huge stones isolated the area from the rest of the island, and that is how they preferred it. They had spent the whole time talking about nothing, successfully avoiding any and every serious topic that could ruin the mood. They had seen the jaw-dropping sunset and shared a bunch of loving kisses now and then.Now darkness had enveloped them and their superhuman sight helped them to see where an average human couldn't. They had decided to head to a small place for dinner and enjoy the peace till it lasted, since from tomorrow they were supposed to be surrounded by wedding planners and lots of other stuff that needed choosing, designing, and preparing.Many parts of the rituals and ceremony were supposed to be handled by them personally, such as the wedding

The following day neither Dom nor Iris made it to the breakfast table, which was alarming for all the family members, except for Lily, who had a flying suspicion about the growth of the seed she had sown. She knew the reaction would be as clear as the day whenever the conversation took place. She had done her part, now it was Gideon's part to add wood to the fire, or in this case, add a can of kerosine oil! ~ Everyone seemed restless due to the empty chair of Alpha on the table as well as Iris'. And deep down they all knew, the reason wasn't what anyone else could've expected out of the couple in love, since these grown adults were capable of controlling their passions and animals until the mating at the end of the month. This is why Lady Marie kept mind-linking Dom who had shut it off while the terrified servant had returned from Iris' room saying she had ordered to be left alone and that she wasn't hungry. Gideon stood up, as did Elijah, to go check on Dom. Gideon managed to talk

All Dom could see was red! And Iris could see his blood boiling from his white knuckles that were on the verge of breaking the door handle. While poor Carlisle had broken a sweat because he was well aware of a dragon's ability to fry a vampire. Before Dom could end Carlisle in a blink or Carlisle made a stupid move, Iris jumped between them, making Dom widen his eyes. "You will defend him?" Dom's tone was cold, colder than when she had heard him talk to Y in the dungeon. The voice lacked all emotion as Dom regained full control in front of them and the transition left Iris speechless. It wasn't her Dom anymore. This one was a stranger who looked like the mate who had vowed to protect her, but now, all she saw was a cold-calculating Dragon-shifter, Alpha. He took a deep breath and stepped towards them, making Iris hold out her hands in between them. She was terrified, not for herself but for her best friend. She might've been an immortal tribrid whom Dom might not hurt too much, b

Dom had had enough. The constant nagging of every word that his father had told him was becoming overwhelming. He needed his Iris and he needed to let her know that he understood her and loved her and could never want things to be over between them. She was much too precious to him and he had fallen for her hard. Unfortunately, it took all these awful recent events to bring this fact to light in his stupid Alpha head. So he got up and left. He went straight to the outskirts of the island. He didn't tell anyone before going to find his girl. He had to find her before anyone, especially Y did. Dom used his super-speed to scout every beach and the surrounding areas that he could think of. His inner voice had been constantly telling him that she was still on the island and that she was somewhere he knew, but also that she was probably in danger. So he desperately searched, hoping against the odds to find her, since she had the cloaking ring and was most definitely using it. He saw da
