I didn't return home for a week because I didn't have the energy to exchange words with father. He had his servants come fetch me countless times but I remained adamant.

Nicolas had called that evening about an important document we needed for a meeting the next day but it was at the main house. I sighed defeated as I realized I'd have to go back home if I needed to retrieve it. The next day, I drove back home. I met with Miss Felice at the entrance and she was delighted to see me. She commented on how I had lost weight and told me she would get me breakfast privately as she knew I didn't want to eat with the rest of the family.

In the entire household, Miss Felice was the only one I could rely on. She has been in the Troy household for two generations and she basically raised me after my mother passed away.

I informed her about the reason for my coming as I didn't intend to eat anything now but I promised I'd be home later.

I went straight to my room to grab the files I needed. When

    ~ Iris POV ~It has been a week since I started working in the Troy household and as Chad had promised, I wasn't sent anywhere near Leigh's quarters. I had also adjusted to my new life and was more familiar with my responsibilities. My only fear was running into Leigh and surprisenly, he hasn't been home since the past week. This was good news for me as I didn't have to encounter any more weird situations with him.As much as I wanted to resolve the misunderstanding between us, I wanted to avoid him as much.There are so many rumors about him from the older servants, he is known to be hot tempered and rude that all the other servants avoided close contact with him. The younger ladies all talk about how much of a pretty boy he was but his bad temper disqualifies him from being a perfect man, hence they all shifted their love and attention to Chad who was more likeable and easy to relate to.Chad was so likeable and easy going. He was loved and well received by all the servants. He was a

    "Chad!" I exclaimed looking back to find him holding my arms firmly."What are you doing?" Leigh asked curtly as he turned to face Chad."I should be the one asking. What are you doing Leigh?" He said sounding pissed while Leigh tilted his head to the side in amusement."And what do you think I'm doing?" Leigh asked and I just stared at the both of them confused and afraid to utter a word."Wasn't it enough that you almost strangled her, now you also hurt her like this?" Chad said pointing at the injury in my arms."Umm it's actually... ""So what?" Leigh interrupted me. "What does it have to do with you?" He said raising a brow."Let go!" Chad said in an intimidating tone."You let go." Leigh said aggressively as they both gripped my hands tightly causing me to wince in pain.They both let go immediately."Are you alright?" Chad asked concerned while Leigh just stood there without saying a word. He seemed upset and irritated. He probably felt bad for being misunderstood and I couldn'

    "Do you really have to seduce someone else?""What?" I asked confused."I'm talking about Chad, did you really have to get him involved?" He said with an expression I couldn't read.I really began to wonder what was going on inside of this man's head. Okay, I can understand the fact that he thought I had seduced him but him thinking I was doing the same with Chad was unacceptable. Angrily I pulled my hands from his grip."Master Leigh, I do not care what you think about me in that head of yours, but I will not have you insult me like this. I already told you that time at the hotel was a misunderstanding but you didn't believe me and I do not blame you, but you talking about my character like this as related to your brother Chad is unacceptable. If you would please excuse me." I said angrily as I stormed out.I knew I had spoken harshly and that I could probably lose my job, but I wasn't going to be insulted like that.I headed towards the servant quarters and I met Chad waiting at the

    "You do know I can smell you." He said looking towards the direction where I hid."Hi!" I said awkwardly as I came out to his sight but he didn't answer, he didn't even look up at me. I stood nervously at the side contemplating if I should go back or not."Come here!" He ordered and I quickly moved closer."Give me a push." he said signalling at the swing and I tilted my head to the side at his request."Just do it." he said curtly. I moved slowly behind the swing and gave a light push. I pushed for a couple more times and we just remained there quietly."This was my mother's garden." he said suddenly and I just nodded."The empty quarter by the side also belonged to her. And this swing.." he said caressing it softly "was her favorite thing in this whole house" he said with a light smile."The garden is beautiful." I said softly as I didn't know what to say and he chuckled softly. I knew his mother was dead and we weren't exactly friends so I didn't know how to react now that he is su

    ~ Leigh's POV ~I really wonder why I can't bring myself to say the things I actually want to say but I always end up saying the wrongest and stupidest stuff. I sat restlessly in the car as I remembered the rubbish I had spilled to Iris."Do you really have to seduce someone else?" I cringed at the memory."Ahh!" I screamed going crazy over the crazy stuff I said."What?" Nicolas asked alarmed as he heard my scream."Nothing, just keep driving." I said composing myself."I think you are going crazy." he said as he shifted his focus back on the road. I was actually going crazy, I've been acting out of character for the past few days all because of Iris."What's bothering you bro?" He said looking at me from the rear view mirror."Nothing." I said curtly."Must be an Iris problem." he said smiling mischievously. I didn't bother to answer as I knew he was only going to make fun of me."Oh by the way, she looks really good. I understand why you have your heads in the clouds." he said wink

    That night, I had the most comfortable sleep I'd had in years. I was happy, just too happy that i got to open up to someone other than Nicolas or claws. The next day, miss Felice brought my breakfast down to my room, she noticed I was in a good mood as I was not as grumpy as usual."You seem quite happy leigh darling." she said with a light smile and I smiled brightly back at her."Before I forget, I got a new batch of bird food for your birdie dear." she said pointing at the balcony where i usually left claws cage."His name is claws." I reminded her. She always forgot his name and called him birdie."Whatever dear, I have to head back and ensure those servants are doing their jobs properly.""Don't be too harsh on them Felice." I said and she stopped on her tracks and faced me."And when did you start caring about the servants?" She asked with this look on her face like she could read my mind."I never said anything about caring about them, I only said that because I know how strict

    The words I wanted to say got stuck in my throat as I saw the endless questions in her eyes."So like I mentioned before," Dr Eli broke my line of thoughts "I've only seen one case and luckily enough I'm able to handle it." he said patting her shoulders lightly and I could see her confused look."What are you talking about?" She asked."Nothing." I replied in a panic and she looked at me with doubting eyes."Father," she turned to him "what were you talking about?" He looked at me and I was sure my eyes were screaming 'do not say a word' he raised a brow and shaked his head in amusement."It's nothing dear, just grown up talk." he said smiling warmly at her. "Do you have all your stuff ready?""I'll be with you for only less than a day, I have to be back before dark." she said showing the small bag in her hands. She didn't look back at me, she was probably still upset and I get it. If what Dr Eli said was true, then I have been mistaken the whole time and blamed her wrongly. She must

    ~ Iris POV ~Father scolded me all the way home for my improper behavior towards Leigh. I just stayed quiet because I knew it was pointless trying to find excuses for my behavior this morning. Whether I liked it or not, he was in a position that was unreachable by the likes of someone like me, and what right do I even have to be upset at someone like that."I understand." I said after he had said all that he thought he needed to say to educate me on proper behavior.But I was more curious about something else, and that was what Leigh was getting treated for. I looked at dad and contemplated how to ask him but I decided to just ask him straight forwardly."Hey Dad, what are you treating Leigh for?""It's a patient doctor secret dear, I can't possibly tell you that." he said with his eyes still on the road. What was I expecting, this man was so strict and he probably would never reveal information about his patients even if a gun was pointed at his head.We finally arrived home and I wa

    ~ Iris POV ~Three years had passed since the blood and chaos of that night in Luka’s mansion, three years since I had looked into the cold, dead eyes of Luka Lane. In those three years, Leigh and I had built a life together, a sanctuary away from the shadows of the past. Our own mansion was where we lived now, far away from the main Troy mansion. Two years ago, under the glow of the full moon, we had finally become one, our souls bound together in a love forged in fire and tempered by time. He had made me his mate and we were blessed by the moon goddess. Leigh had sworn not to return to the old Troy mansion until the old Alpha breathed his last and he had kept to his words, it was a heart breaking but necessary severing of ties. We had found our own happiness, clinging to each other as we navigated our own future together.Today also, was a day for celebration. Nicolas and Clarisse were finally tying the knot. The air in our bedroom was thick with the pleasant chaos of getting rea

    ~ Leigh’s POV ~My lungs burned, each ragged breath shot pain through my entire body. But I knew I had to forget this pain I was feeling, I knew the ceremony was fast approaching, and Travis was unreachable this whole time too so we did not know whether he had arrived Lane’s pack or not. There was no time. No time to rest, no time to fully heal. Iris was in danger and I must save her.Every fibre of my being screamed at me to move faster, to bridge the impossible distance that separated us. Every mile felt like a lifetime, every rustle of leaves a potential delay. Clarisse was so worried. “I can’t reach Travis… we don’t know if he made it.” She said on the way. Nicolas’s updated us not too long after. “Travis just called… they encountered heavy resistance. It is clear that Luka anticipated them.” I clenched my jaw. That bastard. He is indeed an old weasel. “No matter what,” I snarled, “we break through and defeat him. We have to.”And we did. The fight was brutal. When we arrive

    What I felt inside wasn’t just a power. It was an understanding. An understanding that made me feel ancient, yet utterly present, as if the moon goddess and I were two halves of a perfect whole. My vision were sharpened, and I could see everything. Every sin, every judgement. Every weakness and strength. I could see it all. With a roar that echoed through the hall, I launched myself at Luka, and flinged him far, sending him crashing against the wall. He hadn’t even fully regained his footing before I slammed into him again, sending his hulking form sprawling again once more. My eyes, I could feel, burned with an otherworldly light, fixed on Luka with an intensity that made him flinch.“Your opponent is me, Luka Lane!” I stated, my voice resonating with a newfound authority, a power that was both mine and something far more greater.Luka snarled, pushing himself up, his grey fur bristling. “So, the little moonflower has finally found her thorns, huh! Too bad for little one, you shoul

    Travis’s strength was visibly slipping away but I could only watch. Each blow, each snarl, seemed to cost him more. Then, the unthinkable happened. Luka, with a brutal swiftness, plunged his massive claws deep into Travis’s chest. An agonizing shout ripped through the air, a sound that tore at my soul.Luka ripped his claws out, and Travis’s powerful wolf form faltered. He crashed to the ground, as a dark stain of blood spread rapidly under him. His gaze was filled with pain and exhaustion, flickered towards me. In his eyes, I saw a heart breaking message. “I’m tired. I tried.” That’s all I could see in his eyes. He was tired and I was powerless. Tears streamed down my face, blurring the horrific scene before me.Luka with his eyes gleaming with a cruel triumph, loomed over Travis. “Insect!” he sneered as he opened his massive jaws, ready to deliver the killing blow, aiming for Travis’s throat.“NO!” The shriek tore from my own throat, it was a desperate shout, hoping it could somehow

    “What was that sound?” Archie demanded of the guards turned towards the door.They all looked confused as their eyes darted nervously around “We… do not know Alpha,” one stammered, “but it sounds… it sounds like someone is blowing the place up.”My heart leaped into my throat. Could it be? Could it possibly be him? A flicker of desperate hope ignited in me, chasing away the fear in my heart. Leigh was here. It had to be Leigh. He wouldn’t let them keep me here.Archie’s jaw tightened, his gaze locking onto mine, then a cruel smirk twisted on his lips. “Keep her contained,” he snarled at the servants who stood. “Do not let her escape. I will go and see what this… disturbance… is.” He shot me one last venomous look before turning and striding out of the room, the guards hurrying after him.My mind was a whirlwind of possibilities. Explosions? Fighting? It had to be Leigh. My eyes felt hot with unshed tears of relief and anticipation. He was here. He was really here to save me.“Come my

    Sleep. That word felt foreign. After what I had heard from Ethel, how could I possibly fall asleep. The locked door was a solid testament to my captivity, and the high, narrow window offered no solace at all or a route of escape. I was trapped, and those guards were outside watching. I paced back and forth in the confines of the room. My mind was running like a hamster on a wheel with no way to stop. As I turned sharply, my foot caught on the edge of the bed, sending me sprawling on the ground hard. The back of my head slammed against the marble floor, as a sharp blinding pain shot through me. A loud groan escaped my lips, and for a dizzying moment, darkness threatened to take me again. But then, as the pain subsided, a torrent of memories, sharp and vivid, began to flood my consciousness wildly. The fragmented dreams, the unsettling whispers, the faces I couldn’t quite grasp, they all snapped into place with startling clarity. I could remember everything all of a sudden. I wasn’t

    This was supposed to be my escape, but it wasn’t anymore as there were about two dozens of imposing figures, their faces grim and unyielding, lined in the corridor, their presence suffocating the last grasp of hope Ethel had built in me. And Luka Lane just stood there watching us, his very stillness radiating an icy authority. His grey eyes were as sharp as shards of glass.Ethel, who had moments ago been very courageous was now visibly trembling beside me. Her breath hitched in her throat and her hand clutched my own tightly, her fingers digging into my skin. Luka’s lips peeled back into a slow, cruel sneer. “Well, well, well,” he drawled, his voice a violent threat that sent shivers and sweat running down my temples. “I guess you are playing hide and seek in the dead of night, my little runaway? And you, Ethel? Playing accomplice are you?” he sneered.Ethel’s voice, when she finally managed to speak, was full of tremor. “Father… we were just… she wasn’t feeling well. I was only ta

    ~ Iris POV ~From the moment I woke up, I felt uneasy. It was like there was something pressing against my chest. It was because I knew tomorrow was fast approaching. Tomorrow was the day I was supposed to become Luka Lane’s mate. The thought felt like air was being sucked out of my lungs. This morning, my gown had also arrived and I was made to come test it out. It was truly beautiful and a perfect fit. Perfect for my discomfort actually, because there is no way I would be happy wearing that knowing who my groom is.I got confined to my room afterwards, under the guise of pre wedding pampering, felt more like imprisonment, like they have been doing since I got here. On the brief walk back from the gown testing room, I saw how everyone was busy with activity. Servants scurried with floral arrangements, and trying to get things arranged. I sighed heavily as I jumped on my bed with a thud. My gaze drifted to the window, and I yearned to feel the cool night air on my face, to run until

    “Nicolas,” I repeated, my voice rough, “What happened to Iris?” The silence that followed stretched longer than I thought necessary. It was so thick and suffocating, and this silence just seemed to amplify the frantic thumping of my heart.Nicolas shifted his weight uncomfortably, his gaze fixed on the hard cold floor. He finally sighed, a sound heavy with reluctance. “Leigh please. You need to focus on getting better. This isn’t something you should be worrying about right now.” He tried to reason. It was not a reasonable thing for him to say though. At least to me.I hissed harshly. The dismissive tone ignited a spark of fury within me, overriding the weakness that still clung to my limbs. I pushed myself up against the pillows, the sudden movement causing a sharp tug on the IV drip in my wrist, sending a jolt of pain through my arm and to my brain. “I cannot relax Nicolas! Iris is out there, in Luka Lane’s clutches. What do you think he wants with her? It’s not a good thing obvious
