I had a lot to do and a lot to think about. My mind was wandering between the problems facing our society and my own personal emotional problems. For these problems, I had no solution and it felt like I was stuck in a loop.

"Do you want to go home or?" Nicolas asked.

"Just take me home. I'm tired." I said scratching my eyes that were heavy with fatigue. Thankfully, Nicolas drove me home without uttering a word. He could tell I was not in the mood for his usual jokes. I rested on the seat, and wished all my problems would just sink away as I shut my eyes, and I fell into a slumber.

I found himself in a serene garden, surrounded by vibrant flowers and lush greenery. A carefree woman, radiating joy, swung gently on a swing, her laughter infectious. I needed to go closer, to see this woman who could be so carefree.

As I drew closer, she turned around, it was a familiar face. It was my mother's, her eyes sparkling with warmth. She beckoned me to push her.

"Push me my dear." She said with a

    ~ Iris POV ~After the news of the missing servants death, everyone has been tight lipped and conscious. We do not know exactly what happened or how it happened, but we just had to be careful. There were a lot of whispering as Miss Felice had forbidden us to speak about the incident.There were so many theories about the deaths. The most assumed conspiracy was serial killing, but I knew for sure that it was more that just serial killing."Aren't you supposed to be with Miss Eleanor at this time of the day?" Gina said approaching me who was sitting in the library.I looked up at her as she sat besides me. "She wanted to be alone." I shrugged."Strange. She was previously taking you everywhere with her.""Maybe she's bored of me already." I chuckled."I'll also be bored of you if I were her." She teased. "Were you reading?" She said as I had a stack of unopened books in front of me."Not really. I just wanted to get some fresh air.""In the library?" She asked obviously not convinced."

    "What are you doing here?" Miss Eleanor asked with her eyes shifting from Leigh to me."Umm.. I.. actually," I tried to figure out the words to say but my mind was racing unstoppably in my chest."I was looking for you everywhere," Miss Eleanor said as she suddenly smiled brightly. I blinked confused at her. She walked towards us and linked her arms with Leigh's. "The servants said they saw you heading this way so I came to take a look." She smiled brightly but Leigh didn't say a word. He sighed and tried to untangle her grip on him but she held him in place."Iris dear," she said now looking at me and I froze before meeting her gaze. "Aren't you supposed to be in your quarters by this time? Or did Leigh have work for you to do?" She asked looking at me intently."Umm, actually I was just..""You can go back now Iris." Leigh said. I bowed and hurried out of the garden.Gosh, my legs were still wobbly. What if she saw? But I don't think she did, because if she did she would have defini

    As I accompanied Miss Eleanor on her usual escapades around the house, I could clearly hear the scorns and sneers of the other servants."She's so ungrateful, that one. She even dared to eat with the Masters." One of the girls sneered. I recognized her. She was always there when I was being gossiped about and she was a friend of Anne."She could have refused but she didn't.""I can't believe that I would live to serve that harlot Iris. I was so pained that I felt like stabbing her in the throat with the fork." One said with utter bitterness in her tone."The fact that she is acting all chummy with Miss Eleanor when she just tried to snatch her man is actually disgusting to me." One said and I felt that. All these while, I have claimed that I had done nothing wrong, but in my heart, I knew that I desired the unattainable. And Miss Eleanor was nothing but nice to me.I could feel their cold gazes on me as I walked around with Eleanor. She had me accompany her to the art room because she

    It was late afternoon and Miss Eleanor had ordered me to get her some fruits. I hurried to the kitchen so I could ask Anne to help me slice some fresh fruits for Miss Eleanor. I walked past the corridor and I could hear the servants whispering."It's probably about me." I said to myself, so I decided to ignore them and go run my errand.I got to the kitchen and found the kitchen ladies gathered together and talking about something in a whisper. I moved closer so I could listen. I could barely hear what they were saying, I came closer but my hand mistakenly knocked down a spoon from the table and the thud from the impact of the spoon falling to the ground made them all startled."Geez Iris!" The older kitchen lady said as she held her chest. "You gave me a fright child." She said while adjusting her gown.I looked around but couldn't find Anne anywhere. "Where is Anne?" I asked."Probably somewhere gossiping." One of the ladies commented as they went back to their various tasks. "What

    "Sorry, my hand slipped." She said giving me an icy stare."Madam!" I said shocked. She narrowed her gaze to the broken ceramic on the floor."Get me another bowl." She said curtly before turning back to face the mirror to continue her make-up."On it." I said as I went over to pick up the broken pieces from the ground and clean up the mess before hurrying back to the kitchen to get a fresh bowl of fruits."Oh Iris, you're back." The kitchen lady who had helped me out with the fruit previously said."Umm, I need a fresh bowl.""Of fruits?" She asked."Yes.""Has Miss Eleanor eaten up the other bowl already? Wow she has a big appetite." She said as she chopped up a new bowl for me."Thanks." I said before hurrying back to Miss Eleanor's room. I stood in front of her door for a few moment before sighing and entering."Your fresh bowl Miss." I said as I dropped it on the stool carefully next to her. She didn't look at it or at me but she just sat there admiring her reflection in the mirr

    I was feeling frustrated already as I have been running around the whole day. I went back to her room but she wasn't there."Where could she be?" I closed my eyes trying to guess where she could have probably ran off to. I roamed around the house again but I couldn't find her anywhere."Where are you going Iris?" Gina said to me as she saw me going on my way to the gym. That was the last place I was going to check."I'm looking for Miss Eleanor, do you happen to know where she is?" I asked her."I did see her head towards the Masters quarters but that was about twenty minutes ago." She informed.Twenty minutes, that's probably the length of time I had spent running around the mansion. If only I had her phone number then I would have just called."Thanks," I said before going on my way. I stood at the entrance of the quarters as I looked back and forth between Chad and Leigh's quarters, she couldn't possibly be in Chad's room so she was probably in Leigh's.I sighed as I headed towards

    ~ Leigh's POV ~Everything was a mess. It was almost like a curse that I never got what I wanted. I always wanted a perfect family like every other person. A happy mother, a loving father and a caring sibling.My mother died of depression, my father only ever loved his gains and my brother was the biggest ass in history.I sighed as I stood beneath the scorching shower, letting the torrent of water cascade down my skin like a deluge of despair. Anger and sorrow swirled within me, a maelstrom of emotions that threatened to consume me whole. My heart ached as I recalled what Iris had said. She wanted nothing to do with me but I couldn't help my feelings for her.'You are just a coward Leigh' her words echoed inside of my head. Yes, I was a coward, always running away from the real problem and going towards the path I knew was impossible.My fists clenched, and I slammed them into the bathroom walls, the impact echoing through the tiled space like a scream of rage. The only sounds were t

    If I wanted to change myself and possibly my feelings, I had to start by getting close to Eleanor. It's not like we weren't close, but only as friends. I had told her over and over again since we were kids that I wasn't into her, and she also didn't seem that interested in me too. Except that only recently, she suddenly wanted to play the perfect future mate with me and I found it cringe since we both saw ourselves like siblings."Have dinner with us tonight Leigh," her voice calm and commanding.I lowered my eyes and didn't say a word. I could feel her moving restlessly behind me but I didn't care and just kept feeding my bird. Iris had already excused herself, so it was only Eleanor and I that were present.She walked out of the balcony and moved into the room, probably examining the place. I sighed as I watched my feathered friend move around in his little cage. He was full and wouldn't eat again. I had bought the prettiest of cage for Claws, but no matter how pretty the cage was o

    "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
