"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." I sa
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 hope everything is to your liking dear." Pack master said to miss Eleanor with a big smile. I have never seen him smile so much. It was almost as if he was trying to impress her even if he didn't actually need to."Everything has been lovely uncle," she smiled brightly, " but.." her smile seemed to dissipate. "I have not seen Leigh anywhere since my arrival. Is he that busy with work?" Her words seemed heavy as Master Alan Troy laughed awkwardly before taking a sip of water. He signalled his assistant who got the message quite quickly."The Alpha master is busy with work dear Miss. When he returns, you would be the first to see him." The old servant said politely."That's fine," she shrugged. "I just miss him. I haven't also heard from Chad. I know he's probably locked up in a lab somewhere conducting experiments." She said dramatically."You Know him well enough dear, always trying to save the world with his medicines." Pack master commented.They chatted away happily as I stood b
The air crackled with an unseen energy as Chad transformed. His veins bulged beneath his skin, each muscle rippling with raw power. This was not the frail wolf he used to be, but a monster advanced by cursed medicine and as he would call it, ‘science’.The wolf let out a guttural roar, a sound that seemed to shake the very ground beneath our feet, and he charged at me with a deadly strike.I rolled, dodging the initial attack, I retaliated, a flurry of punches and kicks aimed at the beast he had become, but it was like hitting a wall of granite. He sidestepped, his movements fluid and graceful despite its size, and retaliated with a swipe of its massive claw. His body seemed to be adapting to all my attacks and countering them as he grew stronger with every strike.I barely managed to deflect the blow, the air whistling past my ear as his claws raked across my arm. A sharp pain exploded through me. I gritted my teeth, adrenaline surging through my veins.My men were also being ove
“No one is leaving!” he sneered. Chad stood before us, transformed. His aura exuded a kind of unnatural power. A power that seemed dangerous.“Step back.” I instructed my men. His dangerous aura was pulsing, and his eyes gleaming with malice."What have you done Chad?" I demanded.Chad's maniacal laughter echoed off the walls. "I've evolved Leigh," he sneered. "Beyond human limits. I am a new being that even the so called moon goddess cannot touch." He laughed hysterically.Gina's voice trembled. "What have you taken? Surely it is defective. You didn’t get the divine blood."Chad's smile twisted. "My masterpiece. A pill designed for perfection. Defective? Yes. But potent? Of course, and that so called divine blood will enhance its powers.” He laughed.“You are crazy!” she spat at him. "Oho! No little bunny. I’m not crazy, but I am a new specie created with my own hands. Enhanced strength, unmatched intelligence. I am the perfect being." His eyes blazed. "I'm unstoppable.""You'r
“Iris?” I called out softly but she didn’t seem to hear me as her eyes seemed completely empty. I rushed to Iris's side, embracing her warmly."Iris thank the goddess! We're here to save you. You hear me?" But she pushed me off, her eyes blazing a golden glow.Unfamiliar intensity surrounded her. An energy I couldn’t recognise."Iris?" I called out again but she didn’t respond to her name.What's wrong? This....she seems so unfamiliar like I’m looking at a different person entirely.She turned to Chad, anger flaring up in her burning gaze."Chad Troy,” her voice echoed in the room and it sent a chill down my spine. “you have tampered with divine blood," she declared. "Do you confess to your heinous crimes?" She sneered.Chad's lab men trembled. "She.. she’s evolved" one stammered."I think something went wrong. What are we going to do?” Another said as he trembled.Chad glared at them. "Silence! The blood we’ve got...check it." He said panicked, but before he could move, she moved
We navigated the tunnels leading to the secret lab. Indeed , Chad was a dirty little bastard through and through. This secret lab was just below his normal lab. Who could have thought all those research he was always mentioning, the same one father was so proud of, was a sick experiment he was carrying out while putting innocent people in danger.I would seriously like to see father’s face right now just so I could laugh at him. His perfect son, the one he loved the most was such a monster. Gina led the way since she knew the route. Suddenly, we were attacked again by those mutant deltas.“Its like they know where we are.” Nicolas said as he loaded his guns.“Obviously. That bastard probably has cameras installed in every corner.” I hissed as we fought our way through. We fought off the hoard as we moved forward, but the mutant soldiers closed in on us like a suffocating air. Nicolas and I formed a protective shield around Gina, our guns blazing as we cut through the enemy rank
~ Leigh’s POV ~“He said that he thinks....Iris is in danger."“What does he mean by he thinks Iris is in danger?” I said as fear gripped my heart. “He said...”“Forget it. Let me speak to him myself.” I grabbed the phone from Nicolas at once and dialed Travis again.“What do you mean?” I said as soon as he picked up and I put the phone on speaker.“I was out with Iris to go see her sister, but she said she had something to do and she’ll meet up with me...”“So?” I said impatiently.“Let me finish talking, fuck!” he said already getting irritated. “I was waiting for her but then she called me and I couldn’t quite make up anything tangible when I picked except that she was yelling Chad’s name and I know that brother of yours is a prick.” “How did you let this happen? She was in your care!” I yelled at him.“Don’t fucking yell at me cause I’m not your minion. What was I supposed to do? Tie her up?” he yelled back.“You guys should calm down.” Nicolas tried to meditate. “This
"No...please...stop," I whispered, my voice barely audible.Chad's laughter echoed through the room as he leaned in close to my ears. "You'll be my greatest experiment Iris. You should feel very honoured," he whispered softly as his eyes held a vicious gaze. My world darkened slowly, my thoughts dissolving into despair."Chad...why?" I struggled to utter, my voice barely audible."Science," he replied, his voice distant and cold. "Progress. Humanity's advancement requires sacrifice. I have sacrificed a lot. My time, my energy, a lot I have given.” He said as if in pain. “Surely, a little sacrifice from your path is not comparable to the time I have had to spend on each failed experiment. I’m the best researcher in the land, but all those drugs....they are nothing compared to the discovery of your blood.” He laughed hysterically. My gaze locked onto Chad's, “Your humanity...where's your heart?"Chad's smile twisted. "My heart beats for innovation. I simply want to make my kind bett
“You are pitiful Chad.” I spat on his face. “I can’t believe I trusted and had faith in you. But you did all these evil things just because you are jealous of your brot.... Ack!” I groaned in pain as he punched me in my guts and the pain sent a shiver to my brain. I gasped as I was running out of air. “Don’t you ever call me jealous. I have everything.” He shrugged. “And the only thing that loser has is his pure blood. I should be Pack master, not a motherless freak like Leigh.” He sneered. I struggled for air as I tried to speak. “You claim you have everything, but you also want the one thing he has. You are selfi... selfish.. I know... you would never be as good as Leigh. Nothing can beat the goddess’s gift. Your so called pills will fail you.” I sneered as I looked him straight into his eyes. He smirked and grabbed my hair again before banging my head hard on the iron wall behind me. I felt my consciousness leaving my body as blood dripped down from my the back of my head.
~ Iris POV ~I woke to a splitting headache, groaning as throbbing pain spread through my temples. My whole body was aching and every muscle hurt. My neck and arms seemed heavier than usual and I was also in an unusual position. I tried to move, then I realized my body was stiff and unresponsive. Slowly, I opened my eyes and I was met with a harsh reality. Chains was bound to my neck, wrists, waist, and ankles. And they hurt like hell.Memories of the previous night flooded back into my mind. How Chad's hands was around my neck and squeezing the life from me, then he knocked me unconscious with some hard and that was the last thing i remembered. I groaned as I tried to touch the spot hurting on my head and neck, but the cold chains restricted me.A cold sweat broke out as I took in my surroundings. The room was a sterile lab, walls, floor, and ceiling a blinding white colour, and for some reason it made me feel so sick in the stomach. The air reeked of disinfectant and faintly of.
I woke up as quickly as I fell asleep. Felt like I didn’t even sleep a wink because of how drained I was. I took a quick bath and headed downstairs, searching for Nicolas so I could borrow his phone and call Iris. I really needed to check on her. "Good morning Master Leigh," a servant greeted. “Hmm, where’s Nicolas?” I asked curtly as I descended the stairs. "Master Nicolas is still asleep sir. He returned very late last night." She informed politely. I nodded, slightly disappointed. "Breakfast is served sir." “I’ll pass.” I waved my arms in the air but my stomach protested with a loud growl, betraying my initial reluctance to eat. The servants exchanged knowing glances, their faces hinting at amusement and my faced flushed in embarrassment. "Ah, I suppose I'll have some," I conceded. “Okay sir.” She smiled. I ended up joining Archie and others who were already seated having their breakfast. "Morning Master Leigh," Archie said, his voice polite but distant. I nod
