Iris

I felt a bright light hit my face, and I sat up with a grunt. It was morning, and it seemed like the sun was perched right at my window.

I sat up rubbing my eyes with one hand, and rubbing my forehead with the other. A panging headache gripped me as I recalled the events of the day before.

The last thing I remembered were the butler's words, “No, milady, I'm a ghoul,” before I blacked out.

The first thought that came to mind at that moment was to run, but instead, I passed out. How did I get back to my room? Was it the butler that brought me here?

I shivered at the thought of him picking me up. Of course, I had the right to be scared; who wouldn't be? I was face to face with a freaking ghoul and I’d have to see him probably everyday.

Ghouls are creatures that rob graves and feed on dead bodies. Maybe he eats the dead bodies of Lucian's wives after he kills them.

“Shit! I have to get out of here.” I muttered.

I should have expected this from someone like Lucian, with the reputatio

  • BRIDE OF THE BEAST LYCAN KING   As Above, So Below

    Lucian's POV As the hand dragged Azariel out of the portal, I jumped out, too. The hand belonged to Baran, the mutant rogue whose heart I had torn out. He had risen despite the fact that his heart laid at a corner on the grassy floor. He was holding onto Azariel's neck with the intent to choke him.I took a look at his dead subordinates, they didn't rise up. This meant that he was the only one that was fully evolved. Somehow, I expected that something like this would happen. Azariel released himself from his grip and flung him aside. With an increased speed, he lunged at Azariel again. This time his attacks were more brutal. Azariel dodged with ease, but wasn't able to throw an attack.I noticed something, he didn't make an attempt to attack me despite the fact he had eye contact from time to time. I looked at my blood stained hands, and Azariel cleaned one's. Could it be….There was only one way to find out. I walked towards the direction where they fought and stood in between the

  • BRIDE OF THE BEAST LYCAN KING   Conspiracy

    Iris's POV My legs were rooted to the ground and I couldn't move an inch. I played the voice note over and over again but only one sentence kept replaying in my head, “If we get no report by midnight, we’ll bury her body.”I couldn't find the number of the person who sent the message. The sender was tagged anonymously without any number attachments to it.Lady Mica…why did that name sound oddly familiar?I was having a bad feeling about this. Lucian was the infamous beast king, so killing was something that should be expected of him. At this moment, I couldn't panic. I must make good my escape tonight. I need to master the nook and cranny of the mansion to make things easier. I didn't know if it was possible to do that in one day, but I just had to.Taking a deep breath, I dropped my phone on the glass table in the bathroom. I picked up a toothbrush and began brushing, looking at my reflection in the mirror.“You can do this.” I whispered to myself before spitting out the contents

  • BRIDE OF THE BEAST LYCAN KING   Sorcerers

    Lucian’s POV Azariel and I took a step backward as we watched the ice box float in the air with chains curled around it. After a few seconds, the box landed on the ground with a loud thud.It was transparent, and there were people in it.Azariel commanded more bolts of lightning and the box broke open, releasing the people in it. About three people fell out of it, two men and a woman. Their clothes looked tattered, and their hair looked overgrown and unkempt like they had been here for long.“Thank you, thank you so much.” One of the men walked forward, dusting the snow from his body.“Were you responsible for those vibrations?” Azariel asked.“Yes.” He replied.“We’ve been locked in here for years. Sorcerers and Powerful werewolves have come and gone, but none of them were able to get our signal.” He explained.I paused, taking a good look at each one of them. The man speaking was a red-hair, with dark eyes. The other man at the back had dark hair, with pure white eyes, but he could

    Iris's POV “Lock the door immediately!” Samantha exclaimed.Eloise entered fully and locked the door with shaky hands. She stood with her back rested on the door as she breathed heavily.A surprise expression flickered in her eyes as she saw Samantha sitting on the bed.“Come sit.” I patted on the bed.Her lips pursed as she looked hesitantly from Samantha to me. I expected her to retort or disagree as Samantha had done, but she instead took careful steps and sat right beside Samantha.“How did it happen?” Samantha asked.“I went to get the Luna’s food, but I couldn't find Ivan in the kitchen. There were no maids too. I stood there trying to figure out what was going on because it was unusual. Then I heard a wobble in the kitchen’s cupboard.” She paused, fear flashing in her eyes.“I walked towards the cupboard and opened it. In it was…in it was the butchered and mutilated parts of some maids.” She closed her eyes.Samantha sighed and rubbed her arm comfortingly. That was indeed a ho

    Lucian’s POV “Luci, I’ve missed you.” My mother said with a sweet smile.“I’ve missed you too, mother. Where have you been all these years? Where's Marilyn?” I asked.“Too many unanswered questions, Luci, too many. Come here, my son.” She sighed as she offered me her hand.I forced myself up with a grunt, taking her hands. I used my other hand to wipe off the blood.“Oh, dear. You're all grown up now, my sweet Luci.” She stood on her tiptoes, caressing my cheeks. “You took your father's eyes and look more like him. But at least you have my hair, don’t you? Wait, why are you in a cloak?” “Too many unanswered questions, Mother. Too many.” I repeated her words earlier with a sly smile.“Huh?” She looked taken back.“Just joking, Mother.”“I’ll answer all your questions, Luci, I will. But let's spend some time together, it's been years.”“I agree with you, Mother. But I wouldn't feel at peace if you didn't tell me how you got here and where Marilyn is.” I sighed.Her eyes flickered with

  • BRIDE OF THE BEAST LYCAN KING   Dear Wife

    Iris's POV“Sorry, I'm so sorry. I didn't know it was you.” I panicked as I watched Ariel rub his eyes.It turned out that Ariel killed the beast immediately when the door fell down. We attacked with the pepper spray, but directed it all at Ariel in a moment of panic. I failed to notice the corpse of the beast on the floor.I had washed his eyes and asked Samantha to get ice packs as his eyes were red. Meanwhile Eloise held a mini fan, hovering it around his eyes to cool it. I sat beside him, consoling him and trying to get him to open his eyes full. It was a Miracle he hadn't gone blind as I used the spray with massive force alongside Samantha and Eloise. He had to open his eyes before his brother arrived. Looking at the relationship between Azariel and Lucian, I was sure Lucian would let Azariel deal with me.I didn't want to imagine what Azariel would do to me for doing this to his brother. With the way he acted some days back, it was obvious he loved his brother. I shivered at th

    Lucian’s POV “It's so good to be on land again,” Michael remarked as he stepped out of the car.“Idiot, weren't you on land awhile ago? Or do you have another definition of land now?” Azariel snickered.“Tch, kids these days with zero respect. You think because you created this evolved carriage and this glassy thing, you can talk to elders like that. I’ll spank you.” Michael lunged at Azariel.“It's a car and not an evolved carriage. And what you call a glassy thing is a phone, old man.” Azariel taunted.“Hmph, I’ll just let you go because you helped us a lot. But I promise you, I’ll make sure to tattle-tale again and get you in trouble.” Michael grinned.“You’ve got taste, kid.” Ivana smiled as she looked at the mansion’s exterior.“Couldn't have been built any better,” Gaius commented.“Let's go now, shall we?” Azariel offered Ivana his hand as they walked forward.Michael walked behind them, bantering with Azariel, while Gaius and I walked at the back.“I know that you know.” I be

  • BRIDE OF THE BEAST LYCAN KING   Escape

    Iris's POV “The night of my escape”I stared at the ceiling with my heart racing so fast.“Lucian is back”, I whispered to myself. “Trouble is back” is added.I closed my eyes slightly and I opened it back, I tossed to and fro on the sofa but it didn't amount to bringing me to sleep.“I, Iris, don't be a fool”, I whispered to myself.My eyes were fixed to the ceiling. It seemed my mind had captured what I wanted, but my heart was still finding a way to process it.I was so dull in making the decision until it jumped out of my mouth and out of my mind, “Run away.. Run away”I gasped for air as if someone was hearing me, but it was so dark to have anyone around me to be active except for the guards.I stood up gently and went to the window, and my intuition was so right; no one was actively awake, and even some of the guards were dozing off as much they weren't seeing anything to pursue.I numbed my finger in the air, and I jumped up slightly, as if I just won a jackpot.What will this

  • BRIDE OF THE BEAST LYCAN KING   Council I

    Lucian’s POVAfter I was done with breakfast, I went to my study. Through my father's portrait, I went through the secret void and down to the secret dungeon. “Milord.” One of the dungeon guards walked towards me, bowing.“Where's the head guard?”“He is inspecting the prisoners. Do you want me to go get him?”“Yes.” Few seconds later, he arrived with the head guard.“Milord.” He bowed.“Get me Raj.” I ordered.He bowed and left while I waited. A moment later, he arrived dragging a chained Raj whose expression turned to the one of fear immediately he saw me.“Let me go! Ahhh, somebody, help me!” He yelled.“Aren't you tired of this Raj? Screaming for help when you know clearly that no one would come to save you. Pathetic.” I said, my teeth clicking.“Guess what Raj? You’d be seeing the sunset today. I'm taking you out, and it's going to be fun.” I flashed him a grin.“Please stop. I think the torture you’ve made me pass through is enough for my crimes. Just kill me already.” He sobb

  • BRIDE OF THE BEAST LYCAN KING   Training II

    Iris's POV When she mentioned that she couldn't remember her family, I suggested we take a break and talk about the issue at hand. I was sure it had something to do with the book.“When did you notice that you couldn't remember anything about your family?” I asked.“Let's say…some years after I was sucked into the book. It's like after each day of torture, a part of my memories gets wiped away. But I do know that I have a family. Who they are, I can't seem to remember. Who I was, I don't know.” She punched the neatly trimmed grass frustratingly.“I hate to be a burden to anyone. I followed you, thinking that if I got to the real world, I might remember something but it seemed it only got worse.” She rose up, dusting her trousers.“It isn't your fault, it's not like you did it on purpose. I'm sure your family would be looking for you. We can put up poster or something, then your family can come find you. But until then, you can stay here.” I offered her a smile which she returned.I d

  • BRIDE OF THE BEAST LYCAN KING   Training I

    Iris's POVI rolled on my bed, groaning for the umpteenth time as I was bored. I had taken my bath earlier, got dressed and eaten breakfast. I also spoke with my mum to make sure she was alright.She said my father had been calm these days, and had never beaten her in a long time. This was very unusual, but I was glad that she was fine. At least I wouldn't worry much about her.Thoughts of last night flowed in, and I covered my face with my pillow, groaning and kicking my legs up. It was so embarrassing the more I thought of it. Samantha and Eloise had gone to eat their breakfast, and I was alone and extremely bored. I was getting tired of this routine, waking, freshening up, eating breakfast and scrolling away on my phone. Come to think of it, I was more like a prisoner. I had never stepped out of this mansion since I arrived. I was the so-called Luna yet I didn't even know what the pack looked like. But…I hadn't asked if I could go out.Going out meant he’d have to know, which mea

  • BRIDE OF THE BEAST LYCAN KING   Insomnia

    Lucian’s POV Iris looked so scared as she backed away slowly. Her eyes widened that she looked like a little mouse caught stealing or doing something wrong; and that she was.I watched every single expression that passed through her face. She was all over the place, too scared of me. Strangely, I couldn't explain what I felt now. I should be happy that she was scared of me, after all, I couldn't let her get too close or think I was a bit kind.She was having a good time, poking my face with the end of a feather and it was obviously an act of revenge. Then she began stuttering that she was sorry. But we both knew she didn't mean it one bit. I said nothing but instead kept my gaze on her which only worsened things on her part.And I intentionally stood close to her, knowing how much fear it would put in her. Then she began stuttering again, about how she was pissed because I spoke to her like she was a kid.I see. I thought in my head and felt amused. So this was what all these was a

  • BRIDE OF THE BEAST LYCAN KING   Trapped

    Iris's POV I took a step backwards, as my heart pounded so rapidly that I felt it might burst out of its rib cage. I was done for, his cold, icy blue eyes stared straight at me that I felt he could see my thoughts.What should I do? Should I run? “Yes, run!” A voice whispered.I took another step backwards, gulping. I opened my mouth to say something, but no word came out. Then he slowly stood, and I could see how tall he was. “Damn it.” I muttered as I backed away. Lucian took one step forward, covering all the steps I had taken. Was he trying to show off the fact that he had long legs?The more he got closer, I took a step backwards till my back hit the table. He stood right in front of me, that we were barely an inch apart. I panicked, my heart beat increasing. At this rate, I feared I might have a heart attack.“I’m…I’m sorry. I…I..I didn't mean to do that.” I apologised, my last resort.He said nothing, still staring at me intently and I was tempted to ask if there was someth

  • BRIDE OF THE BEAST LYCAN KING   Little Mouse in the Lion's Den

    Lucian’s POV After I left Iris’s room, I received the book of illusions from Ivan. It was to be returned to the council for it to be kept holy ground; its rightful place.I walked to the general library, with the intent of seeing Kael. There was more to Iris, and it was slowly becoming more evident. It would be bad if news of her upcoming ability gets to the wrong ears.Not everyone could see Kael, even some of the powerful beings couldn't see him, yet Iris who was wolf-less, saw him. “Show yourself, idiot.” I said, as I hopped onto a table, tilting my head to the side.“You haven't changed, disrespectful brat.” A child’s voice echoed in the library.“You speak a lot for someone so small. Don't forget I could easily stomp on you, and you’d be forgotten, kid.” I smirked.“Don't call me that!” He snapped. “You remind me of a girl I met earlier. She saw me as a kid and spoke to me like I was her little brother or something. Urggh.” He groaned.My lips curled, I knew who he was referrin

  • BRIDE OF THE BEAST LYCAN KING   In The Lion's Den

    Iris's POV I bit my lips hard, watching him leave the room. Because if I didn't, I might say something that could put me in trouble. And right now, it was best to avoid pissing him off. He just saved me, and a stranger we both didn't know.Lucian spoke like it was my fault that the book dragged me in. He spoke to me like I was some curious kid that touches everything she sees. I was in the library, I picked a book to read without knowing how dangerous it was. Maybe I should have just ignored the book, then all these wouldn't happen. But then, I was grateful that I was alive thanks to him, and I was able to save someone else from a horrible fate.My heart was saddened by the thought of the mister I had met. If the queen of the floweries kept to her words, then the man would be safe. I couldn't believe I just went through such an ordeal, and meeting psychopaths who had twisted ideas of happiness. But according to the mister, it was to break the realm so that they could go to the outsid

    “You’re interesting.” A feminine voice said.I turned to see the queen of the floweries sitting on her throne, decked with numerous flowers.I simply ignored and faced Iris, with the intent to leave with her.“Please let's save them too.” She begged, her eyes filled with worry as she stared back at the tattered man and the young woman.She watched me, waiting for a response but I said nothing.“I’ll take that as a yes.” She mumbled as she rushed to loosen them both.The guards only watched with frowns on their faces, and gritted teeth. The corpse of their subordinates was enough warning to keep away from me.She loosened them before they began whispering something amongst themselves. Then with sad eyes, she held the hands of the young woman and looked back at the man who had an assuring smile on.“Now that you’ve riled them up, how do we leave here alive?” She whispered.“Don't worry, little mouse.” I said, patting her hair and the expression on her face was priceless.“We might be ca

  • BRIDE OF THE BEAST LYCAN KING   Book of Illusion IV

    Lucian's POV I jumped into the hole in the book, ignoring Ariel's scream. The only thing on my mind was seeing Iris safe. After falling for a long time, I landed on flowers. I hadn't been to this realm before, but the seer at the council had been able to peel into what it looked like. A place filled with flowers, trees and colourful butterflies which was the perfect illusion in contrast to what was actually going on here.I looked around, but there was no sign of anybody. The mansion where the prisoners were kept should be nearby. Iris must have been taken by the floweries.I hopped from tree to tree, advancing forward but I found no mansion. There was no route and that made it harder. Everywhere was just covered by silly, annoying flowers that irked me. The place was too bright to my liking.As I hopped on another tree, I felt something pierced me from my back. I reached out for it and pulled it out, it was an arrow. I guess my presence has been noticed.I continued hopping from tr
