IrisI HAVE BEEN locked up for two days now and Lucas hasn't come. Thinking that there’s a possibility that he didn’t receive the message or he doesn’t believe the message I sent him made me think of only one thing; my life ends here. I know that Felix won’t kill me because he loves me, but the fact that he will make me his Luna despite that I should be the Alpha instead is making me anxious. How am I going to get out of this mess? Was it my fault for trying to take back my stolen life?As I was sitting on the cold floor behind the cold bars, I heard the door unlocked again. Felix just got here earlier but he quickly left when he received a call. I thought it was just something important but my eyes widened when I saw who’s with him, it was Lucas.My heart skipped a beat just by seeing him. He looked like a mess. The dark circles around his eyes proved that he’s sleep deprived, that he’s stressed. It seemed like he only cut his hair for just a few days and his face looked so dull. I c
IrisEVERYTHING WENT BLACK. That’s the last thing I remembered before I slowly opened my eyes. At first, I was still dizzy and couldn’t understand what was happening around me but then when I noticed something, I finally focused and saw blood splattered everywhere! To my surprise, I quickly sat up on the ground and saw how messy my surroundings were! I was out of the cell, it was completely wrecked! The ground was full of blood then I saw a hand… as I looked at it carefully, my breathing hitch to see Ashton’s naked body full of blood and deep wound! It’s gruesome! I gasped and quickly crawled backwards as I covered my mouth with fear creeping into my chest. I cannot believe it!Did I do this?!“Yes, Iris. You did… this.” A cough made me look up and I saw Felix holding his stomach that had a deep wound. He coughed blood as he stared at me. It seemed like he was trying to heal himself!“What… What happened?” I snapped then I thought of someone. “What about Lucas? Where is he?”Felix
AFTER I CALMED down, Lucas helped me go out of that room and went downstairs. A maidservant approached me and wrapped me in a towel. That’s when I realized I was naked. Maybe my clothes were ripped when I shifted into my wolf earlier. “We should go back to our pack now,” Lucas said. That’s what I really wanted as well. However, as I looked around and saw that everyone was looking at me, I realized I couldn’t leave this pack knowing that the Alphas who stood in this pack were already dead. They need an explanation from all of this.“I have to stay, for now,” I answered.“Iris, you’re tired and you need to rest. I will ask someone else to take care of this pack—”“I did this, so I have to take care of this. Can you at least send someone to our house and pick up the blue book in my room?” “I’ve already sent someone there. Before I came here, I figured out what you said in your text message and sent someone to go there and find the evidence.” Lucas held my hands as he looked up at me.
AFTER I FRESHENED up and put on a new dress, Lucas and I decided to go out of my bedroom to check on what was happening. As I expected, everything is in chaos. Despite that Sebastian attended to some problem, I know it isn’t easy to fix this as everything happened so quickly.As soon as I finally stepped on the ground floor of the mansion, Sebastian approached us. He had this look in his face, he seemed so exhausted.“The Beta and the council of this pack wanted to see you,” Sebastian said. “And also, I brought the book. We found it in your house, specifically in your bedroom just as Alpha Lucas said.”I didn’t say anything to him, I just took the book and opened it to see the inside. To be sure, I checked every important detail to make sure that Sebastian isn’t going to ruin everything again.“I will come to the meeting room,” I answered.I would lie if I say I wasn’t nervous, fact was, my heart was pounding so fast. I’ve never been this nervous in my whole life. Yes, I’ve felt the s
I THOUGHT EVERYTHING would be easier by now. Now that Felix and Asher are gone and all I have to do is to prove my identity as an Alpha’s daughter. But it wasn’t. It seemed like it was just the beginning of everything.A knock on my door stopped me from thinking. The door opened and Lucas came with worried eyes.“Can I come in?” he asked.“Of course,” I answered with a faded smile.Lucas went inside of my room and then closed the door. He knew that I wasn’t in the mood to go out of my room because of the answer that I received from the council. I am afraid this is not what I wanted. All I want is a recognition that I am Alpha's daughter.Lucas sat down beside me on the bed. He didn’t speak right away but it seemed like he was trying to know if he had to say anything to me or not. I like that Lucas doesn’t force me with anything. He was just calm and waiting for me the whole time.I sighed. “If… I become an Alpha to our pack, how about us?” I turned my attention to him and saw that he
NINE DAYS HAD passed since the last time I met Lucas and I missed him so much. Last night, I called him several times. However, he did not answer my call. I thought maybe he was doze off after work. So I decided to get up early to go to their pack. After I took a shower and got dressed, I didn’t bother eating breakfast. I’ll just eat breakfast at the castle. I want to spend my day off with him, and it’s a waste of time if I eat breakfast before going there.“I thought you’re going to rest today,” Van said when he saw me walking out of the mansion, wearing a dress and holding a purse.“I’m going to rest with Lucas,” I answered. “I missed him.”“That’s how couples feel when it’s still new.” Van shook his head.“Are you saying that you’re tired of your wife?”“Well, I didn’t say that. I was just saying that you’ll get used to him and a month is not that long once you’re married,” he replied. “Your wife will get mad at you if she hears what you told me.”“Don’t tell her!”I just laugh a
IF I WAS still the omega she-wolf I am just like before, I would probably have locked up myself inside of a room and cried all day for the betrayal I caught. Or probably, I would listen to his explanation and forgive him for whatever he did because who am I not to listen to him? I am just an omega she-wolf and is just his breeder. But now it is completely different.Being an Alpha made my whole world flip upside down. Everything that I do, every choice I make will have an impact on my pack. Not just for myself. The rest of the days I was training I felt numb, I just made myself stronger to please the pack to whom I belong. Whom I will start to lead. Whatever happened between me and Lucas was the best for both of us. I am planning to reject him once the coronation ceremony is done. And today was that.“You look wonderful, Alpha!” A woman who did my hair complimented me after she’s done. I looked at myself in the mirror. Seeing my reflection, I couldn’t believe that I would become th
“DO YOU REALLY think you’re going to find your mate in the mating ceremony?” My half-sister Georgia asked as she was busy scrolling through her phone. She looked up at me with her brow arched high and then she scanned me from head to toe with full confidence of whatever she was saying. “Look at you, my little half-sister. You look like trash. If you ever find your mate in the ceremony, I believe he will reject you right away!”Before I left my room, I made sure that everything was perfect. From my makeup, to my hair and dress. I was confident that I would enter the mating ceremony with confidence but all of the confidence I gathered before I left my room was drained when Georgia commented on how I looked tonight. She insulted me so badly.“Georgia, can we stop arguing just for tonight? This is an important night for me… I mean, for us,” I mumbled as I chewed my lower lip, trying to avoid her eyes.“Oh, Iris!” She rolled her eyes, slipped the phone inside of her red handbag before she
