I stared at the clock ticking continuously as I arranged my files in my room. The smell of freshly baked cookies filled the air as Miss Felice just delivered them to my room.

"You hardly ate anything my dear boy. Have these for now." She said with a warm smile and I smiled back at her. She stared at me and hesitated to speak.

"Do you have something to say?" I asked her.

"It's just that I wish you could be genuinely happy." She said with sad eyes and I smiled brightly at her as I moved closer and held her cheeks with both arms in a playful manner.

"Don't I look happy enough?" She sighed and pushed my hands away.

"At least you can still joke around. I just hope you do the right thing. I can't outrightly advice you to follow your heart, but I do hope you make the right decision that is best for everyone." She said and I contemplated her words.

A decision that was best for everyone, it was probably that decision that could cost me my happiness. Oh well, I didn't have time for that thought

    The air was crisp and clean, with a hint of freshly brewed coffee that the servants just served. I sat poised reviewing the files from the Lane packs representative, Archie Addams.On a sleek, silver platter, a delicate arrangement of pastries beckoned flaky croissants, buttery Danish, and crispy bagels. Atop each pastry, a delicate slice of smoked salmon glistened. Dollops of cream cheese, infused with a hint of lemon and dill, added a tangy contrast.Archie and his assistant helped themselves, while Nicolas had been stuffing his mouth since the beginning anyway."So as you must have already been informed," I said just as Archie was about to pick up another buttery Danish from the platter, he paused and turned to look at me."Hmm, like I was saying. You must have already been informed that we would be working with the Crescent Moon Pack to solve this case." I said to him and he nodded as he sat up."I have been pre informed. Although, the Lane and the Crescent Moon Packs have been at

    ~ Iris POV ~For the past few days, I have been doing nothing but running around the whole house all in the name of running an errand for Miss Eleanor. Sometimes I felt like she hated me, but that couldn't be the case. She was really nice to me.I went back to my room, all exhausted and tired from today's work. It felt like I was training for the Olympics or something."Do you feel better now?" Anne said as she massaged my legs with medicinal ointment. My legs were trembling."I feel relieved. Thank you Anne.""My pleasure." She said with a smile."Did you do something to Miss Eleanor? Or is it just me that feels like she's pissed off with you?" Gina asked abruptly."I don't think so." I replied as I stretched my legs, but I could still feel little pains."Why does it look like she's bullying you? I don't understand?" Gina said as she looked like she was seriously thinking about the issue."I don't think she's bullying Iris," Anne said. "She's probably just being a spoilt rich girl."

    "More egg Benedict Miss Eleanor?" I asked as I saw the one in her dish had nearly ran out. She frowned and didn't say a word. She took a sip of her coffee. Pack Master tried throwing in a few words but she seemed too pissed to give a proper reply."What was this atmosphere?" I muttered quietly to myself. Leigh walked in quietly and her mood was lifted at once. It makes sense now. She was waiting for him to arrive."I'll like that refill now Iris!" She said beaming with joy. "Serve Leigh as well," she ordered."No need." He said before proceeding to grab a toast and a sausage. Miss Felice came close and served him freshly brewed coffee, which he didn't refuse."I'm so happy you decided to join us this morning." Miss Eleanor said and he didn't reply. His head down as he munched slowly."It even shouldn't be a choice. Doesn't he know he should join the whole family for a meal everyday?" Master Alan said annoyed. Leigh just sat there and didn't make a comment. When he was done with the sl

    I stood in front of the door, hoping and praying to the moon goddess that Miss Eleanor wouldn't find fault with the pastries this time. I said a few words of prayers before I knocked and entered."Here, Miss," I said as I served the tarts."Don't tell me they prepared this down too?" She asked with raised brows."This is a fresh batch." I replied."No fun!" She whined, tossing her phone away.What did she mean by no fun? This woman was obviously messing around with me."Bring it closer to me," she commanded and I did as I was told. Luckily, she didn't reject it or send me back, but she ate the whole thing. She got a call and she frowned as soon as she saw the caller ID."What?" She replied in the harshest of tones I had ever heard her use.They talked for a while and she frowned through out the conversation."Do whatever you want. I'm not coming back. Bye!" And she hanged up. I didn't dare ask her who it was but seems like she wanted to vent so she told me anyway."That Travis is seri

    I was troubled. Miss Eleanor was definitely acting strange and suspicious. I didn't seem to understand her at all or what she was thinking in that head of hers.She excused me after dinner and I went my way. After Archie had left this morning, he called me but I didn't pick up. I blocked his number and he called with several other lines.Why the heck was he calling me? Wasn't he happy with his mate? He should leave me the hell alone. I was pissed, but mostly distressed. I didn't want my past with Archie to be disclosed, I was already seen as a mate stealer by the other servants, I don't want more complications. I may act touch when they gossip about me, but there is a limit to how much hurtful words I can endure."My hands are gonna rot," Anne whined as usual. "Iris dear, can I have a massage?" She asked with puppy eyes. I sighed as I went over to her."Iris also needs a massage, why are you bothering her?" Gina scolded her."Should I have asked you then? You won't help me anyway." An

    I listened to Gina's words, and I felt like killing that so called Luka Lane. He needed to be dragged around naked, before getting burnt."He's so horrible." Anne sobbed."True. But remember, this has nothing to do with us. Alpha Luka Lane is a high ranked Alpha and it's our duty to serve him. Do you girls understand?" Gina said warningly.I understood what she meant, but I couldn't help but despise the man.It was morning and breakfast had been served. Leigh didn't join us this time and Eleanor didn't seem to mind either. She kept glancing at me, and smiling sheepishly. I wondered what she was thinking about.Today, she seemed like she was in a good mood and didn't order me around like usual. She just took me out to shop for new clothes. She hadn't even worn all that she brought but now she felt like she needed a change of wardrobe. In her words, 'a woman needs new clothes every week'She dragged me round the mall because she didn't seem to like anything on display. I was tired and s

    ~ Leigh's POV ~The look Iris gave to Archie this morning still lingered in my mind. For some reason, I was worried. They must know one another, but how? I moved uncomfortably in my work seat as it was hard to concentrate.There was a slight knock on my door and Eleanor let herself in. She wasn't with Iris this time because I couldn't smell her around. I knew she has been hanging around my door every time Eleanor comes into my room, because I had asked her not to come in here again."What do you want Eleanor?" I asked uninterested in her usual chattering."Oh dear Leigh, you are not very nice," she sulked and I rolled my eyes."Just say what you want and leave. As you can see," I gestured to the piles of paperwork in front of me, "I am busy." She scoffed as she made her way to where I was seated."Oh dearie, look at how creased your brows are, is it because of work or something else?" A sly smirk curled up her lips and immediately I knew she was up to something."What are you up to th

    I paced back and forth in the room in anticipation for Nicolas call. My phone chimed and I checked it immediately, but it was a spam message. I sighed restlessly as I saw the message."Stupid people. Don't know when to send messages." I grumbled as I continued pacing. It was almost two hours and Nicolas hasn't gotten back to me. Why was he so slow in finding information.My phone rang and I picked up immediately."So what's the news?" I said immediately."Take a chill pill man, I haven't even breathed. And do you know how hard it was to dig this up?""Why was it hard? It's just finding out a few details." I said and he chuckled."Well, this few details seems to have been purposely covered up to prevent any news from spreading." He said."So what did you find out?" He kept mute before speaking."So from my investigation, Archie Addams and Miss Iris seems to have had a romantic past." He said and I clenched my fist trying to still give the benefit of the doubt."So what happened to them

    ~ 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
