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. The
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
Iris:My hands shook as I walked out of the Alpha's office. The fact that I just challenged and stopped the Alpha from talking ran through my mind as Ezio and I walked back to our bedroom in silence. I couldn’t bring myself to talk if I tried. Ezio squeezed my hand gently, snapping me out of my daze once we entered the room. I looked at him, my hands shaking as I removed my hand from his, trying to take a deep breath. He cupped my cheek, his eyes meeting mine as he inhaled, exhaled, instructing me to breathe. “Breathe, baby girl” he whispered.“I just challenged the Alpha…” I said, shaking my head at myself. I could have cost us everything if I made one mistake, and knowing that we have made it this far; I couldn’t have afforded to lose everything.“You haven’t, flower. If anything, the Alpha admired you. The man would want the woman who is around his daughter to be strong” Ezio said gently. His finger ran over my jawline, assuring me “he could already imagine you training his dau
Ezio:“Be safe, princess, yeah?” I told Iris gently.I wrapped my arms around her waist, hugging her tightly. We pulled away to look one another in the eye, and I was surprised that she could walk considering the fact that I was aggressive during our love making.“Don’t worry, love, I’ll be fine” she said, assuring me. I kissed her forehead before nodding, watching as she took a step back, heading toward the door. She opened the door only to freeze in front of it for a second, her body tensing. I frowned in confusion, and walked toward her, frowning when I saw Miley standing in front of me. Her eyes were fixed on Iris who I could tell was fighting the urge of slapping her in the face. Iris walked past her, ignoring the woman, her eyes lowering to the ground as she focused on getting as far as she could from the room. I looked at my beauty for a second before looking down at Miley who stood frozen in front of me.“Need I ask what you need? We don’t start work until one more hour” I s
