All Chapters of Too Late, Alpha: The Mate He Never Wanted: Chapter 241 - Chapter 250

Iris's POVThe younger healer nodded and hurried away.“Now,” the head healer said, turning back to me. “About these nightmares. I would need more information about the content of these dreams to know what to do.”Everyone looked at me.I squeezed my eyes shut, fresh tears flowing out. “I can’t,” I sobbed. “Please don’t make me.”“All right,” the head healer said gently. “We won’t push you right now. Let’s focus on getting your fever down and helping you rest.”The younger healer returned with two vials. One contained a pale blue liquid, the other was a purple liquid.“The blue one will help reduce the fever,” she explained. “The purple one will help you sleep. No dreams, no nightmares. You'll have a deep, restful sleep.”The idea of sleeping without dreaming was so tempting that I almost grabbed the vial from her hands.The head healer helped me sit up slightly and fed me the blue vial. It tasted like mint and something else I couldn’t identify, but it calmed me.Almost immediately,

Iris’s POVRowan still wasn’t back.What was he confirming? Was he going to find Eric and confront him? Was he going to ask the guards if they had seen me walking through the palace in the middle of the night?I buried my face in my hands, too exhausted to keep sobbing.After what felt like an eternity, I heard a soft knock on the door.My heart leaped. Maybe Rowan was back.“Come in,” I called out, wiping frantically at my tears.The door opened.But it wasn’t Rowan who stepped inside.It was Eric.I froze, my blood running cold.“Get out!” I screamed, scrambling backward on the bed until my back hit the headboard. “Don’t come near me! Get out!”Eric looked confused, his hands raised in a gesture of surrender. “Iris, wait—”“No!” I shouted. “Stay away from me!”“I heard from the palace staff that you were brought to the clinic,” Eric said quickly. “I was worried. I just wanted to check on you and make sure you were okay—”“I don’t care!” I interrupted, my voice rising hysterically. “

Iris’s POVI woke up slowly, feeling more rested than I had in days.The dreamless sleep the potion had given me was exactly what I needed. There were no nightmares, no forests, and no EricI blinked my eyes open to find that Rowan was still beside me, his eyes closed. But I could tell from his breathing that he wasn’t fully asleep.“Good morning,” I whispered.His eyes opened immediately, and a soft smile spread across his face. “Good morning. How are you feeling?”“Better,” I admitted. “So much better.”“Good,” Rowan murmured, pressing a kiss to my forehead. “You slept through the entire night without waking once.”“I know,” I stretched, with a satisfied groan. “That potion was amazing.”There was a knock on the door, and one of the guards poked his head in. “Alpha Rowan, you have visitors. Luna Vivian, Luna Claire, and Miss Jasmine are here to see Luna Iris.”Rowan looked at me. “Do you have the strength for visitors?”“Yes,” I answered, nodding. “I would like to see them.”The gua

Iris’s POVAfter returning to our suite from the clinic, the rest of the day passed smoothly.Several people stopped by to check on me after hearing I had been unwell. Most of them were genuinely concerned, offering their well wishes and asking if I needed anything. A few were just being nosy, but I accepted their well-wishes with a warm smile.Rowan stayed close the entire time, refusing to leave my side for more than a few minutes. He was being overprotective, but after everything that had happened, I didn’t mind.“You know,” I said as we relaxed in our suite, “I’m really going to miss this place. I won’t miss the drama, but I will miss the palace itself. It’s beautiful.”“We can visit again sometime,” Rowan replied, running his fingers softly through my hair. “When things are calmer and safer.”I nodded in agreement, releasing a satisfied sigh. “That sounds nice.”“How do you feel?” Rowan asked for what felt like the hundredth time that day. “Any headaches? Dizziness? Nausea?”“I’m

Rowan’s POVThere was blood on the floor, and my wolf recognized the scent immediately.It was Iris's blood.My heart stopped.“Iris?” I called out, my voice echoing in the restroom.Silence was my only answer.My heart started pounding even harder as panic began to set in.I checked every stall, throwing open each door desperately with force.All of them were empty.Where was she? Where did the blood come from?My wolf was howling inside me, fighting for control and demanding to be released so he could hunt for our mate.I burst back out of the restroom, my mind racing. Maybe she had started bleeding and had been taken to the pack clinic? There was no need to conclude and raise alarm.I nearly tripped over Eric, who was still lying on the ground where I had left him.“Where is she?” I demanded, grabbing him by his bloodstained shirt and dragging him roughly to his feet. “Where is Iris?”“I don’t know,” Eric gasped, blood still dripping from his mouth and nose. He looked terrible, but
