~ KyI knew Iris was drunk the moment I saw her.Not sloppy-drunk. Not loud.The dangerous kind. The kind where her eyes went soft and unfocused, where her walls slipped without her noticing.Alice noticed too. Everyone always did when it came to Iris. She drew attention without asking for it. Without wanting it.I stood there beside Alice, arms folded, pretending I wasn’t watching Iris’s every move. Pretending my chest didn’t tighten when she said she’d been with Thorne.Thorne.I didn’t like the way he looked at her. Too steady. Too aware. Like he saw the parts of Iris she didn’t offer freely.When Alice kissed her, I laughed and told them to keep clubbing, like I wasn’t relieved Iris leaned into her girlfriend so easily. Like I didn’t feel stupid for the relief.Then Eunice called.Of course she did.I watched Alice walk away, watched Iris’s shoulders sink just a little, like the night had finally taken its toll. When Iris turned to me, it felt… natural. Like this was where she wa

~ IrisSunlight filtered through the blinds, soft and golden, waking me slowly. Ky was already up, perched on the edge of the bed, her hoodie pulled over a tank top, hair messy but effortlessly beautiful. She glanced at me, smirking slightly.“Morning, sleepyhead,” she teased.I groaned, stretching. “Morning,” I mumbled, rubbing the sleep from my eyes. “You’ve been up for a while?”Ky nodded, tossing her phone onto the bed beside her. “I couldn’t sleep. You looked… exhausted. So I stayed up.”Something warm bloomed in my chest. I pushed myself up, swinging my legs over the bed. “You’re too good to me.”She grinned. “I’m aware.”I moved toward the bathroom, water running through my mind like a prelude to clarity, and she followed, stepping in just as I reached the door. I turned to face her, close enough that there was no space left between us, and let my eyes linger.“What?” she teased, a playful smirk tugging at her lips as she leaned in slightly.I held her gaze for a moment longer,

~ IrisI walked out of Eunice’s office, slamming the door lightly behind me, my chest tight, and my thoughts spinning. Every time she did that,every time she smiled, leaned in, spoke that soft, deliberate voice,I felt that familiar irritation climb up my spine. It was like she thrived on the disruption, on the way she could push buttons I didn’t even know she knew existed.Sasha’s smirk followed me with every step, but I didn’t care. I barely even noticed her now. My mind was on Eunice, on how predictable she had become,how I had assumed by now she’d be bored of trying to unsettle me. But she wasn’t. She never was. And that thought alone made my teeth clench.The dorm hallway stretched ahead of me like a quiet, safe corridor after the storm. I shoved my hands into my pockets, forcing myself to breathe, to slow the pulse in my ears that had been racing since the conversation. Every little inflection of her voice, every tilt of her head, had been deliberate, calculated. And I had let he

~AliceI can't believe my girlfriend, my Iris disagreed to a party.I'm very sure she just wants to spend time with ky, since have been busy with packs.The shopping of outfits was just an excuse for the sadness within.I didn’t realize how heavy the drive home felt until I pulled into the driveway and turned the engine off.Dad was back. Alpha Duncan. That alone should have filled me with nothing but excitement. The house felt alive again,guards moving around, voices in the distance, the quiet hum of preparation for tonight. The pack would gather. Music would play. Everything would feel right again.Except Iris wouldn’t be there.That thought sat uncomfortably in my chest as I stepped inside.I found Dad in the living room, sleeves rolled up, speaking quietly to one of the pack members. He looked… good. Strong. Grounded. Like he belonged exactly where he was. When he saw me, his expression softened immediately.“Alice,” he said, smiling. “You’re home early.”“Yeah,” I replied, return

~Alpha Duncan I stared out the window.I was back.Weeks had passed since my return, and the pack had fallen into rhythm again, as if my absence had been nothing more than a brief pause. Meetings resumed. Territory held. My house was full again.And still…I’d been texting Iris.No replies.I tightened my jaw.What did I do wrong?The question surfaced uninvited, irritating in its persistence.I didn’t miss her.No.That was the lie I repeated until it almost sounded convincing.I went downstairs.“Alpha,” one of the guards said, straightening immediately when he saw me.I didn’t answer right away. I scanned the hall instead, cataloguing details the way instinct demanded. Who avoided my eyes. Who stiffened. Who relaxed too quickly.Good.Fear meant respect.Unease meant uncertainty.Both were useful.“Where is Eunice?” I asked finally.The guard hesitated. A mistake.“In your office,” he said. “She’s been… managing things.”I hummed quietly. Managing. That was one word for it.Eunic
