Semua Bab Too Late, Alpha: The Mate He Never Wanted : Bab 1 - Bab 6

Iris’s POVIris’s hands shook as she stared at the report before her in shock. “Wh…What? How can this be? Tell me this is not true!” she pleaded with the Healer, but he shook his head with a sorrowful look on his face. “I’m sorry, Luna Iris. But it’s the truth. Your daughter has the Moonbane Curse,” the Healer said gently.It felt like her whole world came crashing down at that moment. The Moonbane Curse was one of the rarest and deadliest diseases for young werewolves, and it had no cure.She felt like she couldn’t breathe.She glanced at her young innocent daughter, Evie, sitting across the room. When Evie saw her looking, she gave Iris a wide smile that caused her heart to ache. Evie had so much life in her. How could this be happening to her?“How much time does she have?” Iris asked, returning her smile with a broken heart.He sighed. “A month,” he replied.She whirled around to face him with wide eyes. “What?

But she brushed it off.All that mattered at that moment was that Eric gave Evie her greatest, and probably her last, wish.Iris glanced at the document lying

Iris's POVEric started glaring at her again. Anytime Iris came around while he was with Evie, it was like she had committed a crime by just existing.Iris knew that he was basically counting down the days he had to put up with her and Evie.He never said it in front of Evie, but the moment they were alone, he made sure he never let her forget.“I’m only playing along for a little while,” he said one afternoon as they stood by the car. “Just a few more days, Iris. Then I’ll be free of you and your games. For good.”Iris clenched her jaw but she didn’t respond. There was no point.Later that week, the pack held a full moon celebration. Evie had been begging to go for days, and surprisingly, Eric agreed to take her.Iris didn’t want to go, but Evie insisted.So she dressed quietly and got into the backseat beside her daughter, while Eric drove in silence. Evie chatted the entire way, completely oblivious to the tension in the car.Immediately they arrived, Eric excused himself to greet
