IRISThe clear liquid hissed against the wooden floor as Alex continued mumbling ancient words beneath his breath. He’d circled the room three times already, sprinkling the scentless mixture into every corner like he was sealing me inside.It was starting to grate on my nerves.“You’ve gotten what you want,” I gritted out as my fingers tightened around the sheets. “Why don’t you let me go and I’ll forget this ever happened.”Alex paused at the corner of the room, tilting his head back so he could look at me. “Bold of you to assume you have any say in this.”The fear simmering beneath my skin slowly gave way to irritation.“Stop doing that.”He turned fully, his eyes narrowing at me. “Doing what?”I clenched my jaw. “Talking like you know something I don’t.”His lips twitched for the first time. “But I do.”“Then tell me.”“Why?”I blinked. Then let out a sharp sigh whike using the hand that wasn’t bound by chains to run through my hair. “What. Do you want?”He placed the bowl of conc

IRISThe scenery was all an illusion. I watched as Alex ordered his minions to set the boxes. Runes. Watched as the peaceful scenery dissolved like salt in water. How they all stood unfazed as the ground beneath us trembled. And eventually, the facade fell, giving way to something older.My stomach dropped.The beautiful field cracked apart before my eyes. Grass withered into dust, stone erupted from the earth, ancient pillars clawed toward the sky. Every instinct inside me screamed one thing.Run.Again.My mind screamed to do it. But Alex motioned for me to come closer… and my feet obeyed.My gaze flicked to the mouth of the crypt that now stood in the place of the grass field. towering black stone. The massive engraved doors stood taller than anything I’d ever seen, runes glowing inside the rocks themselves.The darkness from within warned me to steer clear.“We do not have much time,” Alex said evenly. “And I would hate to kill your Alphas for being too persistent in finding you

IRISA cool wave of wind brushed over my skin, making me hug myself tighter. This was nice. A long, peaceful rest for-Birds chirped somewhere nearby.My eyes flew open.I shot upright, fingers digging into dirt. Trees surrounded me. Pine. Endless woods. The harsh sunlight burned my eyes when I looked up.“Ughhh…” my voice was groggy, my throat burning from thirst. I shuffled myself off the ground even as my limbs felt like lead. Every muscle in my body ached, my head wouldn’t stop throbbing. Where was I?I let my gaze wander the woods. Nothing familiar.My pulse tripped. Last thing I remembered was Alex, completing his task. Then nothing. I forced my eyes close, thrumming my temples as I tried to remember anything else.Nothing.“Shit.” I looked around. “Where the hell am I?”I pushed my feet despite the ache, trying not to give my attention to the growing unease in my gut. Was I still in the human world?My footsteps faltered as my heartbeat dropped.How would I get home if that w

ASHThe sound of wind whipping past me was a dull blur. My paws dug into the earth as I pushed myself faster, cutting through the woods like a blade. My wolf picked up her scent. And almost stumbled over his own limbs trying to get to her. But the closer we got, the more I realized that something was wrong.Her scent.It was hers but sweeter. More visceral than usual. I unconsciously slowed, threading lightly. My wolf was growling and pushing to go to her but my own body had a different reaction.I shifted in a swift move, pushing my wolf into my chest so I could think clearly. But the closer I got, the more addictive her scent became.I shook my head so hard I was sure my brain rattled. “Focus on the mission, Ash.”The wind carried another wave of her scent. A low growl cut through the air and it took me some time to figure out that it was coming from me.I didn’t stop moving but I was alert, ignoring the way my claws elongated without my consent. A dull ache shot from my jaw straig

IRISThe last I expected after my uncertain announcement was Ryker laughing.He threw his head back, his sharp laughter echoing through my room.But the moment my confusion faded, annoyance took its place. “What’s so funny?”Ryker managed to settle down, wiping a single tear from his eye. “I’m sorry,” he said between breaths. “I don’t know how I can stay mad at you when you say absurd things just to get me to leave.”My annoyance doubled. “Excuse me?”He straightened, shoving his hand into his pocket with some kind of newfound confidence. “Your first heat did a number on you. I get it. But Ash is not your mate.”I gave him a strained smile. “And how exactly would you know that?”He held my gaze long enough to make my conviction waver“Think about it.” He said, taking a leisurely step forward. “You just went through something traumatic, Iris. Which is what probably triggered your heat in the first place.”My pulse tripped. That can’t be right. “And Ash is the first male you saw,” he c
