DYLAN As soon as Iris left with Jamison, I sprung into action almost immediately by making a summon call. If these guys attacking are the same as those that attacked me the last time I went to the mall to get Iris her birthday gift, then there was one hundred and one percent possibility that I would not be able to ward them off myself. I had barely escaped with my life the last time because the fight between us ended brutally. To make matters worse, they also attacked my pack due to my absence. Whoever they were, I knew that they fought smart and they didn't fight fair, so we would have to be extremely careful if I was to win this battle today. After securing the rest of the mansion, I made my way outside to see some of my guards lying dead on the floor. My anger spiked and I felt the flames coming out from my ears as I stared at their dead bodies on the ground. I didn't know why but everything felt so familiar like deja vu. This was exactly how it was when I saw my parents murdere
DYLAN"Are you okay?" He asked. He reached out to help me off the ground. I quickly rose up to my feet even though I had suffered a massive injury that had me limping."When and how did you get here?" I inquired when I was able to find my footing. He was the last person that I had expected to come and help me, so why was he here? And to think that we're not on good terms."I followed him here. The bastard attacked my pack too." He grumbled in anger. The wizard who had been knocked to the ground by Arnold stood up but before he could make the counter attack, Arnold brought out a black book and pointed directly at him.He froze when he saw the book."Do you want me to use it or would you leave this place now?" Arnold asked without mincing words with him."This fight isn't over for both of you." He proclaimed before disappearing into thin air. First of all, I had a lot of questions to ask about how he came here and how he had just disappeared into thin air but the more important questio
DYLAN"Do you think that the Alpha king would let us go with just a warning?" Arnold asked as we made our way to the Alpha King's mansion. As much as I want to believe that the Alpha King will be lenient enough to show us mercy, I still felt like he was going to do something about this. The rules of land were put in place for a reason and taking the book of sorcery was no joking matter. Everyone was quite aware of this fact."I never meant to take the book, Dylan, and you know that I would not take it if it weren't important, but I needed to protect my people. The last time those people attacked my pack, I lost a lot of my people and I vowed to not let it repeat itself again." He said to me and coming from a place of hurt, I understood him."You are also an Alpha, Dylan, so you should know what I'm talking about. Your people were also attacked the last time they came. You lost so much and even though you tried to rebuild the little that you could, it still didn't make up for all you
DYLANI arrived at my mansion and made my way straight to Iris's bedroom to see her. I wanted to see how she was faring and if she was okay. I knew that she must be feeling shocked from what had happened earlier and I wanted to offer her some comfort so that she would feel better. I cannot believe that she had come back for me. I was not expecting her to do something like that. Even though I find it foolish, I still thought that it was cute.I approached her chambers and got in almost immediately. The minute she saw me, she plopped down from her bed and ran up to me."How did it go?" She asked. "What did the Alpha King say? Was he angry with you? Was he upset? Did he threaten to kill you or worse?""Calm down, Iris," I said, and she breathed out slowly. "You are asking so many questions that I don't even know which to answer.""You can start by answering all of them. I do not min
DYLANI went back to my chambers feeling tired, rejected and overly upset due to Iris's outburst. I looked through the window to see that it was almost dawn. I couldn't believed that I had been awake all morning due to the attack that took place at the mansion. The fact that I was scolded and suspended from the council because I had helped my people fight off a wizard was one thing but the last thing that I expected to happen was coming back to have a fight with Iris.The only reason why I did what I did was because I didn't want to hurt her. I knew just how hard it was to ward off those bastards when they attacked before and I just couldn't bear to see her in danger, so why couldn't she try to understand that? What exactly was her problem?And the fact that she openly insulted our marriage had me reeling in all sorts of emotions at once. I never expected such from her. I thought that we were headed somewhere but I guessed that I was wrong. She would never see me differently. To her,
IRIS"...I am only tolerating you because you were given to me as a wife, and yet you're making it seem like I wanted this. I never wanted this, Iris, so don't think that there is anything going on between us..."His words kept on echoing in my ears over and over again that I didn't know how to feel or how to react. I had expected him to at least try to fix the issue between us but as expected, he walked away. That was what he was always good at anyways - running. What else did I expect from a half human and half wolf? He was incapable of showing true feelings and emotions. It hurt but then again, I had always seen it coming.I stood up from my bed and was about to enter the bathroom when I heard a knock on my door. Thinking it was him, I rushed toward it and pulled it open but the excitement on my face faded as quickly as they had appeared. It wasn't Mr Wolfman as I had hoped."Good morning, Luna Iris." The maids greeted with a warm smile on their faces."You're back?" It was more of
IRISI stood for a few seconds, watching and observing them. I wanted to march down there and give them both a piece of my mind but I didn't know why I waited. Was I waiting for some sort of validation from the man who was supposed to be married to me? The one whom I ruined my back for all in the name of a marriage ritual?I couldn't believe that after stomping out of my bedroom, he came all the way here to meet up with Giselle? Was something going on between them? I couldn't tell if I was actually angry or jealous but I felt a mixture of both emotions coursing through me at this very moment. The more they spoke, the more her hands rode up his sleeves. They didn't notice me but I could see them clearly.Just as I was anticipating to head over there and give them a piece of my mind, Dylan whipped his head toward my direction. His eyes remained on mine briefly and just like that, he snapped back to focus on the woman in front of him, completely ignoring me.So much for wanting to apolog
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
