I snuggled deeper into the plush bed, my dreams filled with vivid images of floating on a cloud, surrounded by soft, white feathers. I felt weightless, free, and serene. My body relaxed, letting go of all tension, as I sank further into the comfortable mattress.

I dreamt sweet sweet dreams as I smiled brightly, but as the dream began to fade, my body slowly returned to awareness. I stretched, arching my back and extending my arms above my head, feeling the softness of the bed and the gentle give of the pillows.

"Comfortable." I muttered.

My eyes fluttered open, and I was met with an unfamiliar ceiling.

"Where am I?" Confusion washed over me as I sat up, looking around the room. It definitely wasn't my own. The furniture, the decor, everything was different but all too familiar. And then it hit me - I was still in Leigh's room.

A wave of embarrassment and mortification crashed over me as I realized I had dared to fall asleep in his bed, but I didn't sleep on his bed. If I recalled corr

    We walked a few distance until we were sure we had reached a spot where we could talk privately. He turned around to face me and my eyes trailed off to my feet. I was afraid of looking him in the eyes. His eyes were always warm and soft and I didn't want to be reminded that I was a horrible person because I knew deep within what he wanted from me and I also knew that I planned on rejecting him, but the issue was how to do so without hurting his feelings because I still genuinely wanted to be friends with him."Iris," he began softly, "won't you even at least look at me?" His voice soft and soothing. This was what I didn't want, to look into his eyes."You are my master, how dare I look at you so brazenly." I bit my lips as I spoke my eyes still on my feet. He moved closer and pulled my face upwards causing me to look at him. He looked sad and I could feel other emotions coming from him."I do know that you have been ignoring me, only an idiot wouldn't. I just.... I'm just..." He stutt

    "I didn't know you were hungry, you always missed breakfast." Chad said politely with a forced smile and I looked down at my feet."I'm suddenly so hungry that I think I might actually collapse." Leigh said with a wicked grin."I can ask the servants to prepare breakfast for you and send it to your room.""No need, I'll just eat with the both of you." He said grabbing a seat as he sat down besides me.He grabbed my fork and the sausage on it and took a big bite out of it."Delicious." He said licking his lips. He looked back at me and tapped the table causing me to look up and meet his eyes. "Are you not going to eat? It's quite delicious." He said with a sly smirk. I glanced at Chad and I could see how pissed off he looks."I will just excuse you both, I do not want to intrude." I said with a smile as I got up."Sit!" They chorused at the same time."Please sit " Chad said again with a smile. "You are not intruding on anything." I quietly sat down. Leigh stared at me, his gaze almost

    I backed away from Leigh immediately and master Alan's gaze was fixed on me as he eyed me up and down."What are you doing here when you are meant to be working with the others?" His voice commanding."I...I was..." I stuttered as his gaze pierced at me."I had work for her to do for me." Leigh stood in front of me. I peeked from behind him and master Alan's eyes were still fixed on me."Don't loiter around next time." He sighed as he walked past us and I bowed slightly.Leigh looked back at me and I looked away immediately."I'll take my leave now." I said trying to excuse myself but he held onto my arms."About what I said earlier, give it some thought."I stared blankly at him. About the things we talked about earlier, there was actually nothing to think about as I was definitely not going to do what he said I should. I was not going to stay away from Chad just because he said so.I politely bowed and walked off. I breathed in as soon as I was out of his sight."These masters are a

    My eyes widened in confusion as I tried to convince Miss Felice that I had nothing going on with Leigh. "But Miss Felice, I don't understand why you're warning me away from him. I'm not even interested in him romantically, and we have nothing going on." I said as I gestured frantically. Leigh and I were basically two parallel lines, he hated me and didn't like me anywhere near his brother, I really wonder how Miss Felice got to the conclusion that we were involved romantically and that I was probably going to snatch him away from his chosen mate.Miss Felice's expression turned stern. "Don't play dumb, child. I know all about the way he looks at you, how he dotes on you and everything else. As an old servant of this household, nothing gets past me.""You must have misunderstood, the issue between Leigh and I is not as you think, there was a misunderstanding between us and his attitude towards me is far from doting," I said aloud "it's more like annoyance about my very existence."

    The next few days went by as usual, no changes, but just the usual.The constant stares and gossips from the other girls. Me outrightly avoiding both Leigh and Chad, tending to the gardens, getting something to eat, having to bear with the scorns from the other girls, having Anne and Gina defend me, serving supper, avoiding Leigh and Chad again, getting something to eat, getting some sleep after pondering about the whole days events, getting up early the next day and repeat.It was almost as if I could see the future because I knew when each event was going to happen. Leigh and Chad also seemed to have a timetable for the time they approached me, and since I had mentally taken note of the time they did, I was sure to avoid them.Leigh has also been home quite often. He was never this around. He was always out on business, but now he seemed to come home more often and he always seemed to seek me out but I always avoided him.Miss Felice was basically watching me like a hawk, and to mak

    "Make sure the room is sparkling clean," a senior servant yelled at us. "Miss Eleanor doesn't like dirty things." She said eyeing me up and down and I got the hidden meaning in her words loud and clear. The other girls chuckled as they probably got it too. It was obvious they did."The real mistress is coming so all the other little sluts have to give way." One of the girls said chuckling behind me.I sighed as I started cleaning. I didn't have the time to listen or argue with these ignorant fools. I wiped down the glass of the guest room located upstairs, very close to the quarters of the Troy brothers. They were whispers about how much of a beauty this Eleanor Rider was. She was a grade A Omega with a high blood purity level. Her pack was also one of the strongest and she has been betrothed to Leigh since birth.Perfect people really do end up together. I sighed again as I wiped down the window."Quit sighing, you are disturbing the rest of us." One of the girls on cleaning duty wit

    "Welcome Miss Eleanor Rider to the Troy pack." Miss Felice said with a beaming smile."Thank you for having me." Eleanor said with a smile.Her smile was really beautiful and she herself as a person, was such a great beauty that I felt very insignificant besides her. She was poised and moved confidently with an air of superiority. Her golden hair ran down her back and her emerald green eyes were such a spectacle to behold."I've never seen anyone with green eyes before," Anne said excitedly. "And she is so beautiful too. Her face is so small like a doll that I just want to pinch her cheeks." She squealed in excitement."Calm down or you are going to get in trouble with Miss Felice." Gina cautioned.Miss Felice ordered some servants to grab her boxes from the trunk of the vehicle and take them to the already prepared room. She led her to where we stood in an orderly line and Eleanor smiled widely as she looked at us. She seemed like a nice person. It was really such a good thing to be

    It was barely Dawn, when we were woken up by the senior servant to prepare for work. Miss Felice was present as she probably wanted to inspect things herself."Do you not think that Miss Felice is just being paranoid? She never inspects things herself. Now I have to be twice as careful." Anne complained as we put on our uniforms."The Rider pack is also a big pack so of course, Miss Felice would not want any slip up as this is a thing of honor and pride for her as the house mistress." Gina informed."The way you speak, you might actually become the next house mistress." I teased. She didn't reply but just nodded and got back to dressing up.There was a loud bang on our door as a senior servant barged in. "What's taking you girls so long? Get ready quickly." She yelled. She moved her gaze to me as she eyed me with contempt. "You better be in your best behavior today Iris, you are quite lucky to be hand picked by Miss Eleanor." She sneered before walking out the door and heading to the

    "I know. But we need to be careful. The rogues are getting desperate, and we don't know what they're capable of. We still don’t even know exactly what they want.”“We would get them soon.” I said trying to reassure Nicolas but mostly trying to reassure myself.“Okay then. Have you guys gotten the girl?” he asked.I hissed. “Not yet Nick. She’s been avoiding us like a plague and it’s becoming so annoying.” I hissed the words out. “This really is going not how I had expected. Anyway, I’ll get Amelia to a shelter. She’s still so shaken so I’ll have her stay there for a while.” He informed and I nodded.“Okay. Thanks man. I’ll see you back at the meeting point.”“Okay Leigh.” He said before hanging up. As he hung up the phone, Archie turned to me, his expression concerned. "What's wrong? I heard something about Dr Eli. Is he okay?" He asked concerned and I studied his expression before deciding to reply."Dr Eli's been taken," I said, my voice firm. "We need to get him back."Arc

    I sat in the passenger seat of the car, my eyes fixed on the GPS screen as we navigated through the winding streets. Archie was driving, his hands moving deftly over the wheel as he expertly maneuvered the vehicle. He surprisingly impressed me with his driving skills, makes me hate him less for being such a jerk to Iris in the past. Just kidding. Still hate him just the same, but I have to work with him for now. And he’s actually been working pretty hard."Come on, come on," I muttered under my breath, my frustration growing. We had been tracking Gina for hours, but she was proving to be a slippery target. More slippery than anyone I had ever had to chase. Even Alaric."I know," Archie said, his voice calm and reassuring. "We will get her. She definitely can't keep running forever. Besides we are the good guys.” He said composed with his eyes still on the road as he expertly turned the stirring wheel.I nodded, but my doubts lingered. Gina was sly, observant, and clearly resourceful.

    ~ Leigh’s POV ~I had brought Iris back to the house. Dr Eli had secretly told me that something was awfully wrong and I should keep Iris with me by all means. I didn’t exactly know what was wrong, but I knew I had to protect her. She was so worried and I tried to console her as I held her firmly in my arms. Suddenly my phone rang and I frowned a little. It was Archie. I excused myself to go pick up.“What?” I said curtly.“I think we have our guy.” He said from the other end of the line. They have found the culprit? “Who is it?” I asked. “Its better you come here yourself. It’s not something I can say on the phone.” I don’t know why but I just had a really bad feeling. "I'll be there soon," I said finally, before hanging up the phone."What's wrong, Leigh?" Iris asked and I could sense the worry in her voice.I tried to keep my expression neutral. "Nothing Iris, Just pack business.""Tell me Leigh, what's going on?" She said unconvinced.I sighed and rubbed my temples. "I

    "What is it?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.“I can’t tell you on the phone. Let’s meet up immediately. And come alone.”My heart raced with questions as I heard his words. I took a peek at Travis who was still talking to the security guard. “Okay. I’m on my way.” I said to chad before hanging up. He texted me a location and I considered for a quick second. “Hey,” Travis said to get my attention and I didn’t even know when he got back from speaking with the guards. “I’ve spoken to them to know the exact time Amelia had left. He said she had gone out to meet someone. Do you know anyone she might have gone out to see?” I tried to recall, but I literally do not know anything about my sister. If she went out to see someone, it’s definitely not her fiance, maybe his parents? “I think she must have gone to see her soon to be in laws. Maybe she’s there.” I said as I immediately started dialing their numbers but it was unreachable. “Let me try... in fact let’s go over t

    I lay in bed, staring up at the ceiling as sadness and worry washed over me. I couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. Why did those people suddenly want dad specifically? And this issue about my mother probably being a Crescent Pack member. Leigh hadn't also come back that night, and I was getting more and more anxious by the minute. I needed him. I needed his comfort, and not being close to him at this moment of confusion in my life, made me all the more frustrated and nervous.I tossed and turned, trying to get comfortable, but my mind was racing with various unanswered questions. I kept thinking about Leigh and where he could be. Was he okay? Was he hurt too? No. I shouldn’t think like that. He was definitely okay.As the hours ticked by, I finally started to drift off to sleep, slowly but surely. But as soon as I closed my eyes, I felt myself falling into a void. I was drowning, unable to breathe, and I felt like I was being pulled down into the depths of the ocean.I

    I paced back and forth in my room, my mind racing with worry. I still couldn't reach my dad or sister, and Anne's words kept echoing in my mind. Gina could possibly be alive. Then that makes Chad a liar. But why would he lie? And Leigh hasn’t also returned. This only made me more anxious and worried about the whole thing.I felt like I was suffocating in the room. Everywhere felt stuffy, and I was finding it so hard to breathe. I needed to clear my mind, at least for a little while. I decided to slip out of the room and get some fresh air.I made my way to the side garden, hoping not to bump into anyone to avoid any form of conversation. The cool evening air enveloped me as I walked quietly to the swing. I sat down gently sighing deeply as I let my thoughts wander.But my mind kept drifting back to that weird dream I'd been having. The strange woman which felt all too familiar asking me to remember. But what was I supposed to remember? It was frustrating, not knowing what was going on

    I stood in my room, my phone still clutched in my hand as I tried to process the phone call I had just received. How could Gina who had been presumed dead, just call me, asking for help. I was still reeling from the shock, my mind racing with questions.How was this possible? But Chad had confirmed that Gina was dead and that her family even got her body to be buried quickly. Or so he had said. But now, Gina was calling me, asking for help. What in the world was going on?I needed to do something, and I needed answers, and quick. So I quickly dialed Chad's number, my heart racing with anticipation. He picked up on the first ring."Hey, I've been trying to call you for a while now, but your line wasn't going through," Chad said, his voice warm and familiar.My heart quickened at the thought that maybe he had news about Gina too. "What's going on?" I asked, trying to keep my voice steady."I just wanted to check in on you, see how you're doing," Chad said, his voice reassuring. "I know

    As we pulled up to the Troy pack's mansion, I couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions. I was relieved to be back in a safe place, but I was also worried about my dad and Amelia. Leigh seemed to sense my unease and reached out to take my hand."Hey dear, it's going to be okay," he said, giving my hand a squeeze.I smiled weakly and nodded, feeling a sense of gratitude towards Leigh. He had been my rock throughout this whole ordeal, and I didn't know what I would do without him. I was really happy to have him by my side in such a time.As we stepped out of the car, Miss Felice came out to welcome us. But to my surprise, she didn't greet me as a servant this time. Instead, she smiled warmly and greeted me so politely like I was some important guest."Miss Iris, welcome back," she said to me warmly.I was taken aback by her warm greeting. Just this morning, I had quit my job as a servant in the Troy pack's household. And yet, here was Miss Felice, treating me like a honored guest."Thank

    “Where did you hear that from?” he yelled at me. That was a first.“Was she actually from Crescent moon Pack?” I asked and he went quiet. “Father answer me!” I said desperately. “I’m driving. Don’t get me distracted.” Was his cold response.I looked down on my palms. I was right. Why was he hiding it from me? And who exactly was my mother? I must find out today.“Let me out.” I muttered.“What?” he asked me surprised.“I said let me out!” I suddenly yelled and he was greatly shocked. “What are you doing Iris?”“You do not want to tell me anything so I am not going home with you.” I said stubbornly and he was taken aback by my sudden outburst.“Iris dear, calm down. I’m only....”“Let me out dad. I’ll go ask the person who would probably tell me who I really am since you want to keep hiding things from me.” I said painfully.All these while, I had never asked. Not because I didn’t want to know, but because I was afraid of hurting everyone. Dad, my step mom and Amelia. I took wanted a
