Chosen Mate Two faced.
GISELLEI never expected him to stand up to his wife because of me but I liked the fact that he put her in her place. She had always been going on as someone important because she was married to him but she seemed to be forgetting that she was nothing but a mere human picked by the goddess and given a title. And that was all it was ever going to be because Dylan is mine and I would do everything in my power to make sure that he ended up with me.Earlier this morning when I heard them arguing in her chambers, I was beyond happy. If I could rub it in her face, then I would. I knew that it was only a matter of time before he saw her for who she was. A nobody. The Alpha has never believed in love especially that with her kind, and I just needed the right time to fuel that hate that he had for her.No matter how hard she tried to make a place in her heart for him, it wouldn't work because he had always had that hate for her people and I believed that this was the right time to make my mark
Chosen Mate Fury from the Alpha.
DYLANIris was having an affair? With a servant? Under my roof without me knowing? Those were the only words that I had picked up from everything that Giselle had just said. The rest of my brain had gone blank at the other speech she was making and I didn't know how well to handle the news that had just been broken down to me. How would I live with the fact that Iris has been cheating on me all this while?And here I was thinking that I should have apologized and tried to fix things between us. Was that the reason why she kept on talking down on her marriage? Because she was seeing someone else? I couldn't believed that I had been lied to in this manner. I respected their relationship because I thought that they were just friends and that she was merely confiding in him because she had no one in the mansion to talk to but little did I know that she was actually seeing him behind my back?Unable to come to terms with what I had just heard, I made my way back into the mansion. I went st
Chosen Mate Enough is enough!
IRISThat morning after my confrontation with Dylan, I couldn't eat. Neither could I do anything else except for wallowing in my jealousy and anger toward him and Giselle. I laid there on my bed till noon. My stomach rumbled in protest because I haxn't eaten anything all day. The maids had tried to get me out of my chambers but I wouldn't listen to any of them. They even went as far as serving me food but I simply refused. There was no way in hell that I'd force myself to eat when I wasn't feeling it.I wondered if Dylan had eaten. He normally sent for me so that we could eat breakfast together but seeing that he hasn't reached out, I believed that it was safe to conclude that he had eaten and decided not to send for me.It hurt knowing that he had thrown away every single thing we shared simply because we had a mere argument. I expected his anger to burn out so that he could at least approach me to sort things out but it was almost like he didn't want to sort anything out between us.
Chosen Mate Anger.
IRISI arrived at the entrance of his bedroom but the guards outside refused me from going in. They said that he was busy but I knew better than to believe their lies. I knew that he had only said that because he didn't want to talk to me. I would never even have come here in the first place if it didn't involve Jameson."Let me in… NOW!" I yelled in a high pitched voice when the guards positioned at the entrance of the bedroom had denied me access from venturing inside to see their supposed leader. Bunch of pricks!"I'm afraid that we cannot do that. my lady." One of the guards spoke up. "Your husband had strictly asked us to keep any unwanted visitors outside because he does not want to be disturbed.""Unwanted?" My lips curled in anger and my eyes flared up instantly "Did you just refer to me as an unwanted visitor?""Forgive me, my lady, but we cannot go against the Alpha. If you wish to see him, then it's best that you come back later when he'll be in a better mood to attend to y
Chosen Mate Regrets.
DYLAN"How is she doctor? Would she be okay?" I asked desperately the minute I spotted him coming out of Iris's room. After what had happened, I brought her here quickly so that she could get treated. I never meant to push her that hard. It was an accident due to my strong reflexes. I was angry and she was being stubborn about what had happened. If she had left when I told her to, then she probably wouldn't be In this state at all. She was just so stubborn and adamant and now look at where it has gotten her.I knew that she would never forgive me for this. We were both hanging on a thin thread of hate and anger, and now this has happened. She was definitely going to blame me for attempting to take her life. And how was I going to defend myself now?"She had a major concussion and is unconscious at the moment, so I cannot say." He answered after a moment of silence. "I've administered some herbs to help with the injury and I've also given her some herbs to take as well. Hopefully, she
Chosen Mate No more love.
IRIS"I have prescribed some medications for you to take my lady. It would help with whatever pain that might occur during your healing process so make sure that you take them regularly." The physician who has been in charge of my recovery advised me, and I nodded my head slowly.I regained consciousness a week after the incident that took place in Dylan's bedroom and I have been kept at the clinic to be monitored closely. Dylan had tried to visit me countless times but each time he came, I gave strict orders to not let him anywhere near me or my room. He was the reason why I was here In the first place. I would have died if I wasn't lucky enough to survive this."Are you ready to go?" He asked, and I nodded once."Thank you so much for helping me." I meant each one of those words I just uttered. If it weren't for him, I would've been dead meat."You're welcome, Luna." He bowed his head slightly and helped me get up to my feet. I slowly made my way outside to see a group of armed sol
Chosen Mate Point of no return.
Iris.Life felt like nothing more could work at this point between Dylan and I. I couldn't say that I blamed him entirely for however it was that he reacted toward me. After all, our marriage was nothing but a sham from the very beginning. The only thing I would like to learn from him was just how he managed to quell his anger all this while until it felt like he couldn't bottle it all up anymore. Or maybe I didn't need to learn about something like that.A part of my brain that was still working in the reasonable way kept telling me one fact that I didn't want to think about.If Dylan could hide his hatred for me for so long, there was no saying what he wouldn't do once he was ready to show me his beastly side. I was the doomed for thinking that perhaps I could change his mind and we could have something amazing together.Oh, how wrong I was.And since he showed me just exactly how much he hated me, there was no reason for me to stay anymore. Granted, a part of me had been foolish e
Chosen Mate Her escape.
Iris.It became extremely clear to me at that point that I had been played all these a while ago. Not just by the man who was supposed to be my husband, but also by the Omega who claimed to be the personal maid to the Alpha and wanted me to feel at home by befriending me even from the very first day. I didn't know why the thought came, but I knew that there was no way that the hand of friendship she extended to me was a genuine one. All the signs had been there, even Clarise had tried to warn me subtly so many times, yet I was the one who refused to see it.What had she said again the first time we met and I requested for her help to run away from the pack? She hadn't even tried to dissuade me from doing such a thing. She just kept offering help and even pushing me further each time I relented from the task.How could I have been so stupid that I didn't noticed that the woman was doing all her very best to drag me out of the way so that she could be together with the love of her life

Chosen Mate Left alone.
Iris.I watched the Alpha Arnold walk in with the man who had refused to grace me with his presence for a few days now. I didn't know why, but I had gone from not wanting to have anything to do with the man to simply missing his presence around.But then again, as much as I missed his presence, there was still this warning in a part of my heart that kept telling me that I should not give him the chance to get too close with me. Otherwise, I would be playing with fire. I didn't even know what that was supposed to mean, but I wanted to pay attention to my sixth sense. In a way, it had helped helped me out of trouble.A sigh escaped my lips as I turned to pick up a handkerchief so that I would be able to wipe sweat off my face. I was alerted to how well I was healing now. If it was before, rather than that sigh that I let out, I was sure that it was going to either be a groan or it was going to be me being in tears from the excruciating pain that would take over me."Let me help with tha
Chosen Mate Companionship.
Dylan.I woke up with my head banging hard like I had spent the entire night handling some dangerous mission that left my life on edge. I groaned as I got up from the bed and made my way to the...Wait? A bed? How had I gotten onto a bed? The last thing I remembered was Alpha Arnold trying to communicate with me and me rudely cutting him off. The events that follwed after that were a bit not so clear to me."Are you okay now?" I heard the gruff voice of the man I was just thinking about. I turned around and saw him sitting down on a chair, a book in hand - book that I was so sure he was not reading - and his attention duly focused on me. I looked around and saw that we were in the same hotel room we had gotten for almost a week in a row now. Or was it three days? My brain was still a bit foggy, so I couldn't think straight.But how? How did he end up being with me? Was he not supposed to be with Iris?"Is something wrong with Iris?" I asked him without even stopping to think."Oh, so
Chosen Mate A drunk Alpha Dylan.
Alpha Dylan. Days after the doctor told me those words, my heart was no longer in the right places. I lost track of myself and barely managed to keep my shit together.The possibility that the woman might never remember who I was? How absurb! Except that I knew there was nothing absurb about the matter. In fact, since I got that revelation, my mind had been far away. Why?Because every time I stepped into Iris's room, I got that look that said that I was a nobody to her, so she couldn't overly be concerned about my presence. While I tried my best to act like the words and actions didn’t get to me whenever I was with her, once I was out of her room, my heart always sank down.It was so bad that even Arnold had begun to notice the difference to me. Now, I hadn't gone to the hospital for two days in a roll after telling Arnold to only contact me if there was something wrong or if my signature was needed for something.While I was at the hospital, I tried to urge the doctor to continue
Chosen Mate Memory loss.
Alpha Dylan. Just like the first time she would ever ask me that question, my mind still went blank again. How could she always ask me the same question every time she set her eyes on me?"Iris, it is me, Dylan," I said in a lame attempt to make her remember. The doctor came over to my side and moved around me to get to her. Once he was close, he began to examine her thoroughly. Unlike the first time, no one told me to move my ass out of the way. I waited, watching as the doctor used some sort of touch to check her eyeballs, roamed his fingers in front of her, and asked her a few questions also."How do you feel now?" He asked when he was done with his examination. He had his hand on the report card that was always seated at the edge of the bed. "A bit of a headache and pain," Iris mumbled out. "Dry throat also." She added after a while.The doctor nodded and wrote some things in the card. Once he returned the card back to the usual position, he turned to look at me first, then bac
Chosen Mate Danger!
Alpha Dylan.I rushed into the hospital the next day, a few minutes past 10 in the morning. Or was it 11 AM already?I had no idea that I was extremely tired until after I got to the hotel, took a long needed shower, sank into bed and just dozed off instantly. The only thing that was not making me panic was the fact that there was no call from Arnold yet, which could only mean that Iris was fine."Good morning, sir." The receptionist, whom I didn't bother to find out her name, said to me as a form of greeting when she saw me. I nodded my head to her before letting out a short, "good morning to you, too." And then, I was rushing to get to the ICU so I would be able to see Iris for myself. "Arnold, how is she?" I called when I got closed enough for him to hear me."You are here." He said gently. He was standing close to the glass area, almost as if he was just checking her out. "There has been no casualty since you left. In fact, she opened her eyes about three times already, but they
Chosen Mate Taking turns to watch over Iris.
Alpha Dylan.Five days of no show. Five days of no reactions. Five whole days of waiting for a miracle.Iris had not shown any form of life or even danger ever since she got wheeled into the operation room for over five days now. At a point, I became so worried about her state of just lying down, looking almost lifeless. I didn't know if I should be worried about that or if it was a good news in itself. The doctor had told me that she was responding to treatment, and it was good that she was not showing any reason for crisis as that could be bad for her.Now, I was just standing outside the ICU section she was put in and watching her through the glass wall. The first day after she got in here, I visited her for the number of times allowed. The second day, I did the same. The third day, I came in once and allowed Arnold to use the second time. The fourth time, I couldn't find the courage in me to go in there and look at her when she looked like she was in a lot of pain, if the way she

Giselle."He failed," I muttered to Juliana the moment I got into the mansion and settled on the couch in the living room. I didn't need to tell her some more about whoever it was who failed. From the way she gasped softly, I knew that she already knew just exactly who I was talking about."I never thought he would ever fail." The maid said as a way of response.I never thought that he could either.From the way the man had handled me and the ruthless edge he had around him, I had been so sure that Beta Daniel would not have been able to survive an attack from the rogue. But somehow, that hope had been dashed."He did injure Beta Daniel heavily, though." I sighed as I remembered just how bloodied the man had been. Heck, he had even given the authority to someone else because he needed to recuperate completely. If only the rogue had managed to deal one deathly blow to the man, all my problems would be solved by now."Maybe Beta Daniel had someone help him out of the blue? Perhaps that
Chosen Mate Acting nice.
Beta Daniel. I hurried back to the pack, my blood still dripping from my injured arm to my shirt and trousers. In fact, I purposely held the arm over the clothing so that the blood would drip more on them, and it would look like I was injured in more places than just the arm.The moment I got to the gate, I was stopped by the guards who immediately camouflaged around me whole looking around, their swords ready just in case there was a danger lurking around."At ease," I said, making my voice sound low and disgruntled. "I made sure to lose the man before coming back to the pack," I told them. It would do no good to deliberately make them worry when I knew that all was well.Or could it not be?For all I knew, the other man could have played on my intelligence and was just waiting for the right time to strike me. Or maybe he was even interested in invading the pack and dominating it so that he would be the new Alpha."Still, do not let your guards down," I said as an afterthought. Afte
Chosen Mate The deal.
Beta Daniel. I was still lost in my thoughts and concern for the pack that I almost didn't notice that I was already in the forest which bordered the two packs. A squirrel made a sound, and I paused as I looked at a tree and saw the said squirrel trying to get some kind of fruit which looked like nut. Or more like trying to crack it. An army of ant interrupted the squirrel on the mission it was after. The squirrel, sad that his mission was intercepted, raced from the branch of the tree to another in order to get the ants to leave him, still holding on to rhe nut like it's light depended on it.I laughed at the small event I had just witnessed. I tsked and ignored the squirrel and the ants and began to make my way back to the pack. I tensed when I noticed that there was a movement behind me.It was the same kind of walking pattern I had noticed before when I was going over to Alpha Arnold's pack. I doubted if it was the guards of the pack or any pack for that matter since this part of
