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.

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

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

Lucas“IF SHE TRULY trusts you, she will listen to you. It has been two weeks, I believe her anger subsides and you can explain it to her now,” Taylor said. “I believe she’ll understand you. Iris is an understanding woman.”Just like what Taylor said, it has been two weeks since everything was ruined just because of a single mistake. A mistake that I never thought I would make. I know that I won’t do that to any other woman, especially Samantha. But I couldn’t remember anything. Samantha told me that we did something, that we had sex that night but I don’t remember even kissing her. Something strange because when I woke up the next morning, Samantha and I were both naked on my bed. The councils wanted me to marry Samantha for what we’ve done, they are forcing me. That’s why I’m not coming out of my castle for two weeks now. I don’t want to see anyone from the council and pack elders. I’m still thinking.“Brother, I can’t stand Samantha lurking around the castle again. She acts like s

EVER SINCE THAT Lucas left, I kept pacing back and forth inside of my office. I know I had a lot of work today as it was my first day and the pending job from the past Alphas was brought to me, but I really can’t stop overthinking.Hearing Lucas’ explanation about what happened made me think that Samantha spiked Lucas’ drink that night and I also believe that Lucas thought of that as well. I could see in his eyes that it is also what he was thinking however, he refused to say it out loud. The question I have been thinking since then was… does he acknowledge the fact that there must be foul play here? And if he did, then why is he not saying any word about it then?A knock on the door’s office made me stop from walking. As soon as I told him to come, the door opened and Van entered.“Alpha, how was your first day?” he asked. “Well, I never thought it was boring,” I answered. “You haven’t started yet?” He squinted his eyes as if he was suspecting me. And I know that I can’t deny it t
