All Chapters of Too Late, Alpha: The Mate He Never Wanted : Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

Iris's POV“Well, hello there.”Chloe’s smug voice made my skin crawl.I froze in the hallway. Chloe stood with her friends behind her like her bodyguards. All of them had the same sneer on their faces, with folded arms like they had been waiting just for me.I groaned under my breath. Not now. My legs were already aching from walking all day, and the only thing I wanted was to collapse into bed. Dealing with Chloe was the last thing I had energy for.“Great,” I muttered. “Exactly what I needed to end the day.”Shane released a small sigh from beside me. “She really has the worst timing, doesn’t she?”Chloe smirked cruelly as she stepped closer. “I thought I smelled something pathetic in the air. Guess I was right.”I rolled my eyes, refusing to react. I had no strength to exchange words with Chloe. Maybe if I stayed silent, she would get bored and leave me.But just as I expected, Chloe wanted trouble. She tilted her head, her eyes glinting. “What’s wrong? Cat got your tongue? Or may

Iris’s POVSomething bizarre happened.I didn’t notice it immediately. Honestly, I had been dreading tomorrow since Lucas told me to take the day off yesterday. He had said my hands were in no condition to handle another round, and he wasn’t wrong. I could barely curl my fingers yesterday without wincing.All day I kept bracing myself for the ache, because any small movement stung. So I avoided moving my hands too much, because I kept telling myself that the pain was there, even though it hadn’t been stabbing me like usual.However, that night as I lay on my bed, preparing to sleep, I flexed my fingers carefully. I felt nothing. There was no sting, not even a dull ache.My eyebrows furrowed. That wasn’t possible. I tried it again, and there was still no pain.I sat up quickly, staring at the bandages for a moment. I hesitated.“Don’t do it. Leave it. Go to sleep. Maybe your brain is playing tricks on you.” I muttered to myself.Of course, I didn’t listen to myself. I yanked the bandag

Iris’s POVThe second I stepped out of my room, I shoved both of my hands into my pockets like I was hiding stolen goods. I knew it was stupid, but my brain wouldn’t stop screaming at me to cover them, like they were forbidden.Shane was leaning against the wall waiting for me with a smirk on his face.“Do you want Lucas to chew your head off? Why the waste of time?”I gave him a shaky smile, trying to act cool.“Or were you putting on makeup?” He asked with a teasing grin.I rolled my eyes. “Please. If I was putting on makeup, you would still be standing here tomorrow.”He chuckled. “That’s true. Though, I doubt makeup could help you survive Lucas anyway. Even if you're planning on seducing him, it won't work. Lucas is in love with his gamma role and nothing else.”I snorted. “Wow. Thanks for the confidence boost,” I shot back, pretending in mock offense.He chuckled, but the moment his eyes flicked at my hands shoved in my pockets, his smile faded, and he tilted his head in surprise

Iris’s POVShane was waiting just outside the training grounds, leaning against the wall.“So,” he drawled, pushing off the fence. “How did it go? Did Lucas chew you out?”I shook my head, still in shock. “No. He said nothing. He barely even glanced at my hands.”Shane frowned. “Nothing? At all?”“Nothing.” I released a humorless laugh. “Can you believe that? Lucas saw my fully healed hands, and he didn’t say a damn thing.”Shane furrowed in confusion. “Are you sure he saw it?”I gave him a look. “You know Lucas. The man who notices if I twitch wrongly during training. He doesn’t miss anything. There’s no way he didn’t see.”He tilted his head thoughtfully. “Hmm. Then maybe he’s saving it.”“Saving it?” I asked, throwing my hands up in exasperation.Shane smirked. “Yeah. You know, letting you sweat it out before he drops the hammer. That’s how Lucas does, like the Chloe stuff. He allowed you to stress over it, because it gave him joy.”I groaned loudly, dragging a hand down my face. “

Iris’s POV“I thought you said you were the only ones coming to watch?” I muttered, slowing as we reached the sparring field.What I saw made my stomach twist. More than a dozen people were at the training area. I could see some that looked like pack warriors, some women that I had seen at the pack market, even a few teenagers.Shane frowned. “I thought so too.”Asher gave a low whistle. “I guess you’re popular.”“This isn’t funny,” I hissed.Jasmine grinned. “It’s a free show. People love free entertainment.”“That’s great,” I said dryly. “Seriously, where did they all come from?Shane leaned closer. “I guess the rumor spread so fast.”“Great,” I muttered.A loud voice rang across the field. “There she is!”Chloe stood at the other side with her arms crossed and a smug smile on her face. She gave me a little wave that looked mocking, not friendly. Of course she was here.“Perfect,” I said under my breath.Jasmine nudged me. “Ignore her. She would be disappointed today.”I clenched my
