“ASHER! PLEASE, DON’T!” Even after I pleaded with him to stop, he still forced himself on me. He pulled my hair and attempted to kiss me but with all the strength I have, I was able to push him away. To my surprise, he was thrown to the grass and even he was also surprised with what I did.“What the fuck?!” he shouted.I was still panting in anger as I looked at him intently. I cannot believe that Asher will do this to me after the instant rejection he did to me when he found out that I am his mate!And it seemed like he didn't have any intention to back down, because he quickly stood up and rushed towards me. He lifted up his hand as I was greeted by his sharp fangs. His claws grew longer and was about to hurt me when a hand grabbed his wrist to stop him.“Asher, what the heck are you doing?” Felix asked.I looked up when I heard his familiar voice. My heart skipped a beat as soon as our eyes met. His blue eyes that used to look at me with love and comfort, were now lost in sadness

I THOUGHT HARD and long about what Rosita and Beta Sebastian told me while waiting for Alpha Lucas to wake up. Hearing those things from them made me realize that I should give all my trust to Alpha Lucas despite the fact that it will be a rough way for us before we finally reach the goal we were both aiming for. Even though there is a big chance that it won’t be a happy ending for both of us.I sighed as I held his hand. He’s starting to heal his wounds faster while I hold his hand. A healer came here earlier but he told me that Alpha Lucas would heal on his own. He just needs to rest and it would be better if I were there beside him. Instead of just holding his hand, I lay down beside him on the bed. I wrapped my arms around his waist as I held his hand while looking into his face. Alpha Lucas has done too much for me. He saved me… I should trust him.I fell asleep while waiting for him to wake up. I just woke up when I felt a warm hand caressing my cheeks. As soon as I opened my

I DIDN'T KNOW what to say as I turned to look at Samantha. I saw the curiosity in her eyes as she glanced between Taylor and me."Why would we tell you? It’s a secret between us!" Taylor replied boldly to her.I remained silent, keeping my head down because I didn't want her to see my face. I didn't want her to see that I was scared. The truth was, I was still afraid because Samantha held a high rank among the Lycans and could easily disrupt our plan with Alpha Lucas."So, you’ve already learned to talk back to me like that, Taylor? Where did you learn that? From that breeder?" Samantha said angrily.It was only then that I lifted my gaze when I heard the sound of the heels of her stiletto approaching quickly towards me. She quickly grabbed my hair and pulled me.“You b*tch! You’re brainwashing her innocent mind!” Samantha said and gripped onto my hair tightly.“Samantha! Stop what you’re doing!” Taylor said and tried to stop Samantha but it seemed like she was eager to pull off all m

“NO, IRIS! YOU will be in danger if you go back there alone!” Alpha Lucas said while glaring at me. “Knowing that Morris’ sudden death is questionable, I can’t let you go there! What if he was murdered?”“Not just that, Iris. A possibility that Morris was murdered by his own son,” Sebastian added. I shook my head. “I don’t think they’ll do that. Asher might be bad but he’s affectionate with his father. Felix won’t be able to do that either!”Lucas held both my hands and helped me stand up before he spoke. “Iris, you are too innocent in this kind of world, I can’t let you do something that’s so risky. You are not ready enough for something like this.”“When am I going to be ready enough, then? When you’re already removed as the Alpha of your pack because of me?” I asked.“That won’t happen—”“How sure are you?” I didn’t let him finish what he was about to say. Then I turned to Sebastian. “Tell me, is it really hard to replace him as an Alpha? You are a Beta and your grandfather is the

FROM BEFORE, I feared Brittany too much. However, as I’ve already experienced a lot of harsh words from different people around me, I finally was able to ignore the feeling of being insulted by someone. I realized that those were just words, they won’t kill me. If I let those words consume me, it will only end up piercing my heart and mind.Instead of denying it, I pretended that everything that Felix told me was true. I pretended that I still love him and I would love to give our love a second chance just like what he wanted. After talking to Felix, we walked out of the room that I am occupying. He was holding my hand tightly as we continued descending the stairs. Everyone greeted us as they bowed their heads. I thought, if I was born in this mansion, would it be the same as this? We continued walking our way to the dining hall and when we finally entered, we were greeted by more maidservants. But what caught my attention was Asher and Brittany, sitting next to each other.
