Ezio:

I watched as Iris walked out of her bedroom toward me.

I had to fight the urge of kissing her in front of everyone as I reminded myself that the two of us were currently the center of attention. I wore a tux which Miley had sent to my room as I had to ‘attend’ the ball to make sure that the ‘slaves’ behaved.

I extended my arm for Iris who looked at it for a second before looping her arm with my own, walking to the door by my side. Her hands shook despite her usual confidence, clearly worrying about what the beta would say if she saw the two of us. Her eyes scanned the room around us.

“You look beautiful” I whispered to her, tightening my arm around her for a second, making her smile.

“You don’t look bad yourself” she whispered back.

We reached the door where the beta stood. Her hair and makeup were done perfectly, and despite the fact of Iris offering to help her with her hair and makeup, the woman had her dressers and makeup artists do the job instead.

I unlooped my arm from

    Iris: “Drink some water, it would help you calm down” I said, handing the beta a glass of water. She looked away from me, taking the glass in her hand before taking a sip. Her and I had gone inside after her encounter with the Alpha, and to say that I didn’t understand why she acted the way that she did would be a lie. If the woman was mistreated like that; I didn’t expect her to act all gentle around people who she knew were lower in rank compared to her. I sat on my knees in front of her when I saw tears fall from her eyes, gently wiping them for her “don’t ruin your makeup for such a reason, beta” “What do you know about this? If anything, you should be glad…” I stood up and wrapped my arms around her, hugging her as I leaned down to kiss the crown of her head. It was something that mum used to do when I threw tantrums or when I grew upset. “Deep breaths, beta, you getting angry or upset about this will not change anything. You need to compose yourself as this pack’s beta, you’

    Ezio: The wolves looked at the raging Alpha for a second before one of them went to lunge on Ariana. The child’s eyes widened in surprise and had it not been for Iris, who jumped in front of him. He bit her shoulder making her whimper before I jumped on the wolf, biting his neck, making him fall limp. I let him go and looked at Iris who whimpered in pain as her shoulder and arm bleed. I rubbed my muzzle over her own. Helping her stand as she seemed to lose her balance, wanting to get her away from the burning building. The Alpha ran to his daughter, lifting her in his arms, hugging her tightly for a second before tearing Iris’s dress from her face. He walked away from the fire, watching as I helped Iris limp, her body weight barely carrying her. He looked at the cloth in his hand, clearly recognizing the fabric of my flower’s dress. Iris’s body dropped once we were at a somewhat safe distance for the men to walk toward the house to try and kill the fire. I was surprised that th

    Iris:“I wouldn’t have let a child burn in there. If that is the explanation that you were looking for, this is my answer”Ezio’s voice had me snap my eyes open, and having caught the familiar Alpha’s scent, my heart raced as I worried about the reason that he was here. If the man suspected anything about Ezio and I; the two of us were screwed. “I’ll leave you two to rest for now, we will talk about this later” he said, looking Ezio in the eye. Ezio nodded, watching as the Alpha walked out of the room. His daughter waved goodbye at me and despite wanting to return the favor; I couldn’t find myself able to move my hand.Ezio waited until the door was closed, listening to their footsteps moving further away before he got up from his bed. He cupped my cheeks and connected his lips with my own before I could say a word. His eyes closing as his heart raced, my own was racing just as fast, matching his beat. He pulled away to look me in the eye, resting his forehead against my own as the

    Ezio:“What the hell was that about?” I asked Iris who shook her head in confusion. The two of us looked at the door where the Alpha just walked out. We were both careful not to talk until we were sure that he was somewhat out of earshot, and though, being an Alpha, he could easily hear us if he wanted to; I didn’t expect him to be listening to us when he was on the second floor.“I have no idea, but whatever it is, I don’t know whether to like it or not” Iris said honestly. I bit my bottom lip as I considered. The man was putting me to work alongside his sister, his beta, but he was both downgrading and keeping her in her position, wanting me to train her “you’ll be spending time with Miley now…”“Don’t start, Iris” I said sitting beside her. She looked down at her lap, avoiding my eyes as her heart raced “you know that I wouldn’t spare her a second glance, princess”“I know, but she’ll be all over you” I smiled at her words, putting my finger under her chin, raising her face, and ma

    Iris:I watched as Ezio walked inside the room. His eyes were wide in both rage and surprise. His body tensed, his hands shaking as he fought to control himself.It was a while past noon and I wasn’t even expecting him to be back until a few hours later, and considering that the pack members’ voices were loud enough for me to hear despite me being in the room meaning that they were still out. Therefore, I was surprised to see him back as early as he was.“Ezio?” I asked, catching him off guard. He shook his head and walked toward me. I watched as he laid his head on my lap, a manner that he usually did when he was annoyed, and I ran my fingers through his hair; I waited for what he was to tell me.“You can’t enter that bastard’s room, Iris” he suddenly said, making me frown in confusion. I waited for his explanation, knowing that me asking or getting angry about it won’t change his opinion. If anything, all it will result in is an argument between the two of us “the man has abused hi

    Ezio:My heart ached as I stood in front of the bedroom’s door, taking a deep breath to focus on the task ahead.I looked back at the door, debating whether or not to go inside before deciding against it. I had to leave her with her own thoughts to understand what I was trying to tell her, and despite knowing for sure that she wouldn’t understand; I hated being away from her.I walked out of the house to find Miley waiting for me. The bruises on her face seemed to be healing, and the swell on her eye and bottom lip was starting to heal over the past few weeks.“Ready?” She asked. She knew to keep her limits now that her brother had his eyes on her. She couldn’t afford getting on his bad side again, and it seemed like she had done that quite a lot before he burst out the way that he did. The fear that she had in her eyes toward him was obvious, and knowing the reason, I pitied the woman.“Yes” I said, walking past her. She walked a step behind me as we approached the new shifters.

    Iris:My heart raced against my ribcage when Ezio connected his lips with my own. My body heated as his lips pressed against mine.His hands cupped my cheeks, pulling me closer to him, deepening the kiss. He lowered his hand to my waist, pulling me closer to him, lifting me to his lap. I placed my legs either side of him, straddling his lap. Ezio ran his hands up and down my waist, rolling his hips up as he moved me against him. I moved from his lips, kissing his jawline, neck, slowly sucking on the area. He moved his head to the right, giving me better access to his neck, allowing me to suck on his sweet spot. He turned us around, lifting me in his arms as he laid me back on the pillow. He hovered my body, getting between my spread legs, grinding his hips against my own. He rested his forehead against my own, looking me in the eye, not stopping his movements.“You’re so fucking beautiful” he whispered, taking my shirt off. I arched my back, raising my hands for him to get it off my

    Ezio:I wrapped my arms around Iris from the back, hugging her as she got ready.Resting my chin on her shoulder, I gently kissed her cheek, watching as she smiled through our reflection.“Good morning” I whispered. Having slept in, Iris got up a bit earlier than I have and was almost ready to leave the bedroom.“Good morning” she smiled, turning to face me. She wrapped her arms around my neck as I wrapped mine around her waist. The bite mark on her neck was visible for everyone to see. I ran my finger over the bruise that formed around it causing Iris to wince.“Does it hurt?” I asked, looking her in the eye.“Only when touched, but don’t worry, it should heal in a few days” she said smiling. I wrapped my arms around her, pulling her in for a hug. To say that I never expected to mark her would not be a lie. Yes, her and I have been mates since we first shifted, but the two of us have focused ourselves on our goal so much that we have neglected our bond, silencing our wolves. She lai

    Ezio:I smiled, wrapping my arm around my beauty as we looked at our pack members. Our pack’s features finally started showing as each day passed when a Lycan showed up, or one found his or her mate, increasing our number.It has been six months since everything happened, and to say that the two of us were finally happy being together would not be a lie. The drama, and our revenge was finally over. Now, we had ourselves to see and pay attention to, rather than focus on a man we wanted nothing more than to kill. “Good morning, baby girl” I smiled, kissing her cheek from behind. Iris smiled, leaning into my touch, putting a hand on my cheek.“Good morning to you too” she said, raising her head to look at me.I smiled despite her racing heartbeat and the fatigue that I could see in her eyes. She has been in this state for the past two days, and regardless of how many times I told her to go to the hospital, Iris refused to have a doctor touch her. “Baby girl, can you at least promise me

    Iris:I watched as the guests who were going to attend the funeral arrived. Their eyes scanned the surroundings as they searched for the Alpha, his death not being announced yet. Cassandra wanted to be there to see the eyes of those who have allowed her discrimination when she begged for help years back. It seemed like the woman had lived through a lot more than she let out, but Ezio and I made sure not to pressure her into speaking about what she didn’t want to.“Ezio, Iris?” Marissa, the Raven Claw’s pack Luna asked her mate, Daniel, standing by her side as the pair looked at us “what is going on here? I’m sure that you didn’t come here to attend the funeral”I looked down at my feet, not wanting to be questioned about the subject anymore than necessary. Ezio extended his hand at Daniel who shook his hand in return “how are you two? We didn’t expect you to be here to begin with”“We have to say the same about you two, especially judging by…” Daniel didn’t need to complete his sente

    Ezio:I watched as the pack members assembled upon seeing me, wanting to submit to me as an Alpha instead of Cassandra.“Why is she the Alpha?” A girl asked, looking down at her feet “the rules say that whoever kills the Alpha is in charge, why did you give up your position?”“I never came here to be an Alpha” I said, looking down at the child “Cassandra was Ryker’s mate, and believe it or not, I know that she would be better at this position than I ever would be”“Plus, we won’t be leaving completely, if anything, we would be your pack’s new allies” Iris said, smiling at the girl. She looked up at us before hugging Iris, burying her head on her chest as she took a deep breath.“You are the only two who have helped us overcome our fears in this pack” she said, looking up at Iris. I smiled, remembering the day where she told the pack members that she wouldn’t hurt any of them before Ryker came out, reminding them that she SHOULD be fearing him if they wished to live within the pack’s g

    Iris:I watched as Cassandra spoke to Ariana, trying to explain to her that she was her mother.The child was quiet as she listened, and Katerina stood, looking at both Ezio and I for a second.“You two did a good job” she said, breaking my train of thoughts. I frowned in confusion, looking at the woman who motioned for us to walk toward the veranda, giving the mother and her daughter their privacy. “What are you talking about, Katerina?” Ezio asked, crossing his arms over his chest. His muscles flexed as he looked at her, and despite the wound on his shoulder, I knew that he would be attacking her if needed. “You united a mother with her daughter, and killed the one poison that was not only ruining the pack, but the child too” she said, looking at the two of us.“You knew about her?” I asked, voicing out my confusion. Katerina simply smiled as a response, turning around to look at the bloodied field. The pack members and the Lycans were cleaning everything up, clearing out the spac

    Ezio:I watched as the pack members started their training, preparing for the day’s shift before Iris walked out of the house.Alpha Ryker stood in the middle of the field, watching the pack members as they trained, his eyes lost as he stared into space, clearly trying to process the death of his sister. “Alpha” Iris said, approaching him. She handed him a glass of water to which he nodded and took a sip of “do you mind if I sit?”He looked up at her before nodding, watching as she sat down, her eyes meeting mine for a second before she turned her attention to the Alpha “how was Ariana today? Did she accept that she’s being homeschooled?” “No, but she would eventually. She just needs time to either process that it is the better option for her, or she would end up trying to convince you to send her back to school with her friends” Iris said, looking down at her lap. “I’m guessing that she has every right to want to go back to school, her balance has been stirred, but then again, for

    Iris:“Morning” Cassandra told Ezio and I when she saw us walking out of the bedroom she told us to stay in, entering the sitting room where we saw her yesterday. The whole floor was designed as an apartment for her, and I was surprised to see that Alpha Ryker, regardless of the anger he had toward her, made sure that she was as comfortable as she possibly could be.“Good morning” Ezio said, answering her. He kept his arm wrapped around me as we walked out of the room, mostly assuring me that things were going to be okay. The two of us could barely talk about anything last night, not wanting to risk her hearing us, or getting on her bad side. “I take it that you two are ready?” She asked, getting up from her chair just as we heard the room’s door open. Ezio and I hid by the door, waiting for the maid to come before I grabbed her from the back, snapping her neck before she could make a sound. The maid dropped the tray that she had with her, falling limp on the ground as she took her

    Ezio:“So, you want to be the one to kill him?” I asked, crossing my arms over my chest. Iris sat beside me, looking at the woman with wide eyes as the two of us processed what she was talking about.“Yes, he has hurt me and my daughter, and I believe that it is my right to be able to kill him. You two have watched him suffer for months, but I want to be the one to look him in the eye while I’m killing him, breaking the last bit of strength that he believes he has on me” Cassandra said, looking at Iris who bit her bottom lip “you shouldn’t be too surprised, Iris. I don’t think that you would be too impressed by your mate sleeping with other women, or by him living his life after he has locked you up like some prisoner. I haven’t spoken to my daughter in years, and I am well aware that he keeps her locked in her room for days without going out, seeing or speaking to anyone. I owe it to her and myself to be able to end his life myself”“I never spoke or said anything”“Your expression s

    Iris:“Are you sure that the place is here?” I asked, staring at the wall in front of us. Ezio nodded, seeming sure about it, making me frown in confusion as I looked at the empty wall.Ezio put his hand on the wall, running his finger over the tiles, gently pressing on them before one of them moved. The two of us looked at one another for a second before Ezio pressed on the tile completely, watching as a door opened behind it.My beloved wrapped his arm around me, pulling me inside the room where stairs appeared in front of us “the fifth floor” My voice was above a whisper as I spoke, and the two of us took slow, careful steps up the stairs as we feared any traps being hidden within the walls of this secret room. The door slowly closed behind us, and I couldn’t help but catch my breath as we walked up, not knowing what to expect behind the walls of the concealed room. Why it was concealed and how long has it been this way, I had no idea, but it seemed like there was a lot for us to

    Ezio:“You do realize that we can’t keep killing this Alpha’s men, right? He would just notice that they have gone missing” Iris said, entering the fourth dungeon in the house. The two of us have been going around in a maze, searching for the woman who didn’t seem to be in any of the empty dungeons we entered. “It’s not like I have another option” I said, shrugging my shoulders “they would end up killing us otherwise”“Ha, ha, I am starting to believe that you are enjoying this way too much” Iris teased. I winked at my beauty, watching as she went to check the right side of the cell while I checked the left. I sighed when we found that it was also empty, and knowing that it was already a while past two, I knew that we needed to get some rest if Iris was to be able to wake up early with Ariana. “Next dungeon?”“No, baby girl, bedroom. You need to rest. Ariana doesn’t have school tomorrow and she would be very active, not to mention that the whole house would be busy with the funeral
