DRACO. I rolled my shoulders as I discreetly let out a breath when Kael closed his car door and walked toward us. He was approaching alone, but there was still a possibility that Adessa or Adelaine was inside his car. In his position as a prince, I doubted they would allow him to travel without security unless Adessa was with him. But I didn’t dwell on that. At this point, all I wanted was to send my father away or Kael from here. The last thing I wanted was for him to find out about Iris’ identity and the mess I was in that was connected to the Royal. I was about to open my mouth when my father beat me to it. “Alpha Kael! I mean, Prince Kael! It has been a long time since I saw you. You look rather well. It seems the Princess is taking good care of you.” He sounded excited, and his whole face lit up, something I had never seen whenever he spoke to me. Even on the night that he transitioned the Alpha position to me, he didn’t smile or tell me he was proud of me. Maybe if he did, I

DRACO.“Do not cross my border.” I gave Kael and Adessa a warning before I walked forward, blocking the approaching car from going further. “Watch them,” I instructed Liam, because even though I had a keen sense, whenever Iris was around, my whole focus would always divert to her. It took forever before the car finally stopped, and I didn’t wait for anyone to come out. I was already beside the passenger’s door, opening it to see for myself if she was indeed with him. “Hi…” Iris greeted me, and she smiled so beautifully that all the scolding I had in my head toward her vanished into thin air. So instead, I turned my gaze to my Beta, pressing my forearm at the top of the car. “What did I say about not letting her out of the house?”Roman swallowed, shifting his gaze to Iris before returning my stare. “When she found out you were meeting Alessio and your father, she insisted on coming here. I declined numerous times, but…”“I showed him I can let out vines from my hands…” Iris was st

IRIS.The next five days went by swiftly without any trouble. I honestly had no idea we still hadn’t had any visits from the Guardians or Eox. I wanted to believe Adessa when she said her mother had not relayed any message to the Guardians, so the latter had no idea I existed. Our meeting with Adessa and Kael went smoothly. There were parts I never told her, including about the possibility that my grandfather was still alive. I also knew there were things she didn’t share, or maybe she really didn’t know about. I asked why the Guardians wanted to erase our bloodline. She said Adelaine did not go into a full discussion about it but she would let me know once her mother shared more. I so badly wanted to trust her, but at this point, I didn’t want to risk anything—especially Draco. I was sure I could protect myself but who would protect my mate? And the last thing I wanted was for someone to use him as bait to make me do what they wanted, because they would surely win. I would end up

DRACO.“30 seconds, nothing more,” I repeated, wanting to make sure she understood that this was non-negotiable. “30 seconds…” she mumbled back, and once I nodded in agreement, her body disappeared from my sight.The vines remained, but they dropped to the ground, as if they weren’t moving to our orders earlier. “Now show me what you can do.” I challenged them. I hoped they could hear me and that they would do as I told them, even though Iris was nowhere around. It didn’t take them long before they rose from the ground, and that made me smile. That was a good start. “Nice…” I smirked before crossing my arms across my chest. Now wrap yourselves around that big boulder as if you want to squeeze the life out of it…”I was not done with my words yet, but they had already crept toward the huge boulder where Iris had been sitting earlier. They were moving like snakes—fast and with a hissing sound as they scratched and rustled against dead leaves and twigs. But before they could comple

DRACO.“Thank you for coming, Draco.” “I told you, I will always come for you." She pushed her upper body up and her hands clamped my jaw.She began peppering my face with kisses. I laughed again, relieved that she was still here with me but making sure that I was aware of what was going on around us in case the Fucker King decided to reappear. “You look so good with my kisses on your face…” She exclaimed excitedly when she pulled away from my face and she looked contented. “Wait…”My brows hiked up as I watched her slip her hand into her pocket and pull out a lipstick. She then applied more to her lips, tinting them too red while winking at me. When she was already satisfied, she placed it back into her pocket before she cupped my jaw again and began kissing me everywhere on my face. This time, her lips lingered on my skin, and with how red they were, I was sure I’d have very vivid lipstick stains, but I didn’t mind. She could stain my face with her makeup or with her pussy juice
