IRIS.I ran! As fast as my legs and heels could carry me, that was as fast and far as I ran. My tears kept pouring even as I continued to run. I wanted to command the ground to open up and swallow me, but I knew that was not possible. I couldn't tell how on earth that I had allowed myself to be traitorous enough to want to accept that man back. The same man who had done his very best to make sure that I was badly hurt.My feet thumped even as I continued to move farther away from the place. I didn't know where I was going, but I knew that I just wanted to keep moving. Suddenly, I heard a loud clapsed from the heaven. I wasn't given the chance to look up to see what was going on before I found myself getting drenched completely by the sudden heavy downpour of rain. I swiped at the water that clouded my eyes in order for me to see where I was going.All the while, my feet didn't stop their movements. All I heard before I knew that I was no longer on the walkway as I thought but was n
Alpha Arnold. Where was Iris? That was the only question that kept pumping through my mind even as I continued my search for her like a crazy person. After I left the brothel, I decided that it was still too much risk for me to go over to Iris's place to visit her, seeing as that friend of hers was persistent in looking for her. I was lucky to have picked up his scent twice as he was trailing me, but there was no reason to not know that I might somehow lose tracks of his trailing and not know that he was still monitoring me. A week had passed since then, and I was sure that the man who was bent on following me about had now relented in that task. Now, I went over to Iris in the human world, only for me to meet a locked house and a little research from her neighbours alerted me to the fact that no one had seen her for almost three days now. My worries grew even as I sniffed around to see if I would be able to get tracks of her scent to see if anything had happened in the house - w
Alpha Dylan.I would kill that reckless driver who hit Iris, I thought as I fisted my hands by my side. If it wasn't because of him, Iris would still be around now.*You know it is not because of the man.* My wolf reminded me calmly. I snorted, not wanting to have that discussion with him. After it became apparent that Iris had been transported from the site of the accident to the moon goddess knows where, my wolf and I had been going back and forth over whose fault it was that the accident happened.He kept blaming me that if I didn't appear in front of the lady, then there was no way she would have panicked and run out like that into the waiting hand of danger. I, on the other hand, blamed man who hit her simply because he didn't concentrate on his driving. Even though I knew my wolf had a point, I still preferred to not think that I was the architect of her doom. And even if I was going to blame myself later, I wanted to still hold someone accountable for the mess.It has been fou
Alpha Dylan I knew exactly what it was that I should do at that point, and that was what I did. As I followed the man, a part of me reminded me that it could be a trap that I was leading myself into. But I wasn't bothered about that. Even if it was indeed a trap like suspected, I knew for certain that the man would not be able to beat me in a brawl - except he is a supernatural like me, or if he has multiple help.None of that mattered to me. Even the thought of losing my life at this point didn't matter by much. I just wanted to save Iris if she needed to.I snickered under my breath as I watched the man disappear through another corner. I followed swiftly and almost curse when one of my legs snapped on whatever it was that left a sound. I paused and quickly delved to a corner when the man I was following paused and turned around. I sighed deeply and waited for a while to give the man some time to get over the suspicion in his heart. By the time I moved out of the shadow and moved
Alpha Dylan. "Bloody sucker," I repeated, still feeling my blood boil from the humiliation the man almost gave to me."Suck it in, loser." Alpha Arnold said, making me feel like disappearing into the ground.From where I stood, I eyed the man and saw him giving me a kind of look that sparkled of his victory of being the one who supposedly rescued me from my adversary. My annoyance grew, and I threw a kick at the man who was still unconscious on the floor.It was all his fault. If he had wanted to do what he did, he should have just made it when I was the only one, not when it was that Alpha Arnold was around. Now, I was very certain that I would never hear the end of this from the man."You couldn't even handle one human?" He snickered at me, rolling his eyes in the process. "Yet, you act like you can beat me up if we were left to battle." Again, he rolled his eyes at me.See exactly what I was talking about?It was just my bad luck that from all the people who could have walked in o
Alpha Dylan. If this was a battle of stare, I didn’t know who would win between the man and I. After about five minutes, I saw Alpha Arnold turn away from me like he was going to leave me standing on my own. I moved to where he was and held his arm in a tight grip."Where the fuck do you think you are going?" I hissed at him.The other man grunted and tried to move his body away from me. I shuddered and tightened my hold on him even more."Unless, of course, you are telling me without words that you are indeed tailing me," I hissed."Fuck you, Dylan! I save your fucking ass and all I get is accusations?" The man growled in anger. The anger in his voice was very evident, but I could only care less about such a thing. I wanted answers, and I wasn't going to let the matter go until I got to the end of it."This is why they say you should never help your enemy." The man added. All of a sudden, he shook his hand away from mine and pushed me from the close proximity I had with him by placi
Alpha Arnold.If anyone had ever told me that I would need collaborating with Alpha Dylan over anything, then I would have hated the person for even making such an assumption. But here I was, making my number one enemy my ally.But then, I was ready to do anything if it would ensure the safety of the woman I was in love with.After I left her workplace the previous day, I had begun my search around for the hospital that she was taken to. It was there that I found out that she was brought in to a nearby hospital but quickly referred to a big one after she was given first aid. But to my shock, she never got to the hospital she was referred to. Rather, those people were told that her people would rather have her at another hospital - something I knew was not true. Other than myself and Alpha Dylan who was looking for her, I was sure that no one else would have done that. Not even her family, considering how very far apart they were to each other. The chances of one of them being at the
Alpha Dylan. Together, the two of us were able to move the unconscious man into the abandoned building which Alpha Arnold drove us to. I didn't know how the man discovered the place, but I had to say that I was impressed with how meticulous he was in planning everything that he did."What do we do with him?" I asked as soon as we dropped the man on the dirty, cold floor of the sitting room in the building.Alpha Arnold chuckled to me wickedly before he disappeared into one of the rooms. I was still wondering why he went there when he popped his head from the doorway and beckoned for me to follow him. I did as he instructed, not quite sure why I was listening to the command of the man. When I got in, I was amazed to see that the man had prepared what could only be termed as a torture room.Andreline cussed through me from the excitement which bubbled in my heart at all the torture I was going to make the man feel. Unless, of course, he quicky let me have the information which I requir
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
