CHAPTER 81

"Remind me again why you're having a formal introduction when you could be having a Luna ceremony?" Saoirse asked as she pulled out the new dress from my closet. "Or even a ceremony to join the pack?" "I'm not ready," I replied. She looked up. "What do you mean?" Lily was behind me, curling my hair while I sat in front of a large mirror. She too looked interested in what I had to say, but she didn't push, like Saoirse. "I'm not ready to become the Luna of this pack," I said. "There's a lot of things I haven't figured out yet, and becoming the Luna so quickly would complicate things.""Would it?" Saoirse started to ask, then frowned slightly, before nodding. "I see what you mean. Why don't you join the pack then? That way, you're officially a member, but not yet the Luna." I shook my head and sighed. "Can't. Same complications." "Oh." "Wait," Lily said. "Hold on. I don't understand what you two are talking about. What complications? And Saoirse, did you just do some seer voodoo?

CHAPTER 82: CASSIAN

Okay, maybe kissing Iris when our pack members were waiting for us wasn't a very good idea, because I quickly lost myself. I didn't understand this chemistry between us. I knew mate bonds typically caused strong attraction, but was it supposed to be this intense, this soul-consuming? Whenever I was near her, I felt... There were no words for it. Like every particle of my being was yearning. Yearning to be as close to her as possible. Whenever I was even a little bit distant, my whole self screamed to return to her side. She was intoxicating and addicting and powerful, and she didn't even know it. It marveled me, that she understand the hold she had on me. Her power over me was absolute. Which was why right now, I was considering the pros and cons of going late for the gathering I'd called. I could keep kissing her. I could take her back in the house, peel this sinful dress off her body, and bury my face between her thighs. I could do a million things to her with my mouth and han

CHAPTER 83: IRIS

For the hundredth time that day, I swiped my hands across the fabric of my dress, trying to keep them from sweating nervously. It was no use. In just a few minutes, my hands were damp again, and still shaky. I took a deep breath, and when I went to wipe my hands on my skirt again, Cassian grabbed hold of it, squeezed softly, then transferred it to his lap. We were in the back seat of his car, with Max at the wheel. Today was the day we would meet up with my sister and her mate. The air in the car was tense. Even Max had been silent for most of the ride. I glanced at Cassian, and he gave me a reassuring look. "It'll be alright," he murmured, brushing a thumb across the back of my hand. "But—""Trust me." I nodded, then urged myself to relax. To take my mind off things, I glanced at Cassian, only to find him already looking at me. If I wasn't so high-strung, I would have heated up beneath his gaze. Why did he look at me that way? Like he had to take in as much of me as possibl

CHAPTER 84

I'm sure to an onlooker, the expressions on Julietta's and Axel's faces would have been almost comical. Shock, disbelief, anger, and disgust. How one person could convey all that in a single look stumped me. The air in the clearing was charged, but Cassian's hold on my hand was steady, keeping me from shaking. I made sure to hold my head up and make eye contact with my "sister" as we walked towards them. Axel, I didn't even give the time of day. When we were about halfway to them, Cassian and I stopped. Max was behind us, still leaning against the car. "Iris?" Julietta called out, her disbelief palpable. "Julietta," I replied shortly, and to my relief, my voice was hard, not shaky.The other expressions on her face melted to rage as she finally realized that yes, I was truly here, and not just some figment of her imagination. She began to storm forward, her face reddening. "What are you doing here, you lying, scheming, piece of shit! Murderer! I should have killed you when I h

CHAPTER 85: CASSIAN

Wrath was already desperate for an excuse to snatch control from me and put an end to this farce of a meeting, but knowing how important this was, I kept a firm hold on my control. All that disappeared the moment Iris's thief of a sister dared to raise her hand on my mate. Max was by my side in a second, ready to step in in case things went too far, but he shouldn't have bothered, because immediately Julietta's hand touched Iris, my mate reciprocated. Wrath howled in pride at Julietta's bloody face, a second before his pride turned into fury when Axel growled lowly, and attempted to go for Iris. Key word, attempted. I don't know what he had in mind, but he wasn't very bright. Like his foolish mate, he thought he could lay hands on Iris without going through me? He moved fast, but I was faster. Snarling, my arm shot out and my hand closed around his neck in a death grip. My eyes flashed amber as my control slipped and Wrath made himself known. Axel was struggling, but it didn't

CHAPTER 86

I returned to a quiet house after my morning workout session, as usual. What wasn't usual was the fact that Iris still hadn't come down for breakfast even after I made some noise while cooking. That's odd. She was usually awake and hungry by now. After our encounter with Julietta and her mate yesterday, Iris had retreated into herself, disappearing into her bedroom soon after dinner without saying much to me. I'd hoped that giving her some space to process her feelings was the right thing to do, but I wasn't so sure now. Maybe I should have tried harder to get her to talk to me. Well, there was no time like the present. Turning off the heat, I got the rest of the eggs out of the pan, dished up some bacon and toast to go with it, then headed to her bedroom. I knocked once. "Iris?" The room was silent, and I knocked again. She could've still been asleep, but for some reason, I felt the first stirrings of worry. Wrath was a bit restless. I tried to calm him down. Nothing was ha

CHAPTER 87: IRIS

I woke up to a familiar hand clutching mine, and Cassian staring down at me worriedly. My head was pounding, and my vision was slightly blurry. My mouth felt dry, and I was hot all over. Despite all these, my stupid brain somehow still found the energy to find the little furrow between Cassian's eyebrows attractive."Iris!" Cassian's eyes went wide when he saw I was awake, and he leaned in closer a bit. "How do you feel?" I breathed deeply, meaning to draw in some of his scent, but was instead assaulted with the strong scent of antiseptic, and multiple other scents, both weak and strong. Where the hell was I? Usually, Cassian's scent was the only one present at home. And mine too, but I never noticed that. I looked around. White walls. A hospital bed rail surrounding me. "Why am I in a hospital?" I asked weakly. "You passed out," Cassian replied. "Don't you remember?" I shook my head. "I remember you waking me up." Looking around again, I finally noticed that I was hooked up

CHAPTER 88

Doctor Ethel left Cassian and I alone to take in the news. The silence in the room was so thick and tense you could cut it with a knife. It wasn't everyday you were told you had to have sex with your mate (or anyone, really) for the first time for medical reasons. Why did my body choose to betray me like this? For that matter, why did Althea???I wondered what Cassian was thinking. A glance at him didn't tell me much. He had mastered the art of keeping a neutral expression. I felt for Althea in my mind. She wasn't as active as she usually was. In fact, I could feel the lethargy and weakness rolling off her. "Are you alright?" I asked her. "Been better," she murmured. "So...you're really feeling this way because you haven't...um...done Wrath yet?" Althea laughed softly. "Done?" "You know what I mean," I mumbled. "I guess so," she replied. "I didn't realize it at first, but when I did, I didn't tell you because I didn't want you to feel pressured. Mating with someone especiall

CHAPTER 89

"Let me get this straight," Saoirse said, staring at both Cassian and I in disbelief. "You want me to cast a spell that will make you not want to fuck each other?" She looked at us like we were both crazy. "It sounds so weird when you put it like that," I mumbled. "But yes....that's the gist of it." "What?" She gaped at me. "You can't just tell me something like that without giving me any more explanation? What's the story behind this?" I was still in the hospital bed, and Cassian was still sitting beside me, holding my hand. He'd mindlinked Lily, who had passed the message to Saoirse that she was needed at the pack hospital. "Can you do it or not?" Cassian asked, impatient. Saoirse gave him a look. "Maybe you should tell me why I have to cast this spell before making demands, hmm?" When Cassian simply glared at her, she continued, waving a hand in my direction. "Have you seen her? She's a knockout. Why would you want to pass up on that?" She turned to me, pointing at Cassian

CHAPTER 90: CASSIAN

Iris insisted on walking back home on her own even though she was obviously still shaky. I allowed it as far as the doors of the hospital before scooping her into my arms and ignoring her surprised squeak. "Hey! Put me down," she hissed, looking around. "People will see!" "They already saw me carry you in here, so what exactly are you worried about?" I asked. "Well... That was different. I'm awake right now." I raised an eyebrow as I walked us back home. "And?" "And..." Her cheeks reddened. "It's weird." I smiled a bit as I stared at her flushed face. It didn't take much to make Iris flustered, and it always showed on her skin. She wiped a hand across her face self-consciously. "Is there something in my face?" "No," I replied. "Then why are you..." She trailed off, her eyes falling to my lips. She blinked, swallowed, then cleared her throat and attempted to sit straight, forgetting that she was in my arms. I held her tighter to keep her from falling out of my grip. "Sit sti
