Chosen Mate Feeling sorry.
IRISThe maids helped me out of my clothing and fixed me a bath. After that, they dressed me up as they prepared me for the night. My whole life, I had thought that they were the monsters but it wasn't true. Our kind, my own people, had been the monsters and not them. They wiped out an entire race and pack and killed a little boy's parents. I couldn't even imagine life without my own parents, and yet they went ahead to render someone an orphan without thinking twice. Didn't they have a conscience at least?How on earth was I supposed to face him now after learning the truth about his horrible past? And to think that I had said so many mean things about him. I had even gone ahead to insult his parents the last time we had an argument. No wonder he lashed out at me that day and told me off. He was going through so much and then I was only adding to it. My parents had only sold me off as his wife which was the greatest sin that they had ever committed in my books, but his parents were mu

IRISDylan pulled away from the embrace and led me toward the bed. He made me sit and did the same right next to me as well. Neither of us had said anything to the other yet and as we sat in the presence of each other, we watched time pass slowly, but I still couldn't bring myself to say anything. I must've been such a fool to have embarrassed myself by crying in his presence.What would he think of me now? I should have just sucked in my emotions instead of letting them spiral out of control. Of all the things to do, I had to cry in the presence of Dylan. I wished that the ground would just open up and swallow me at this moment."Does crying in front of me really make you feel bad?" He asked out of the blue, and I was suddenly beginning to wonder if maybe he could hear my thoughts or if it was my imagination playing tricks on me. Else why on earth would he be asking such a question right after I had just thought about it?"No," I replied and wiped the tears off my face aggressively.
Chosen Mate A truce.
DYLANI haven't been able to sleep all night. I kept on thinking about why I had kissed her. It was a mere kiss on the cheeks and it was not like I kissed her fully on the lips. Still, why did I feel like I have done something wrong? I mean it was just a kiss on the cheeks, right? I shouldn't be beating myself up about this. For all I knew, Iris wasn't even dwelling on this and I was just here, making things unnecessarily unbearable for myself. Sheesh!Rolling out of bed, I started to get ready for training. I didn't let anyone take care of me, especially when it was not needed because I had the habit of sleeping naked. It has always been so ever since I lost my parents. Somehow, I thought I had developed that habit because of them, and that was the reason why I always insist on getting ready myself unless it's a special occasion that could not be helped. Even at that, I always make sure to be careful so that I don't get caught.I finished with my dressing and I made my way outside my
Chosen Mate Comradeship.
IRIS"I'm tired!" I groaned loudly, throwing the sword that was given to me by Dylan to the ground. We had been at it for hours now and I was pretty sure that I had learnt enough to last me a lifetime, but he was still insistent that I needed more training."You've not gone up to the standard I want you to be at yet. So no, you're definitely not tired." He said to me and proceeded to pick up the sword that I had thrown away and stretched it out to me. I looked at it as if it was an abomination of some sort. Who exactly was he giving that sword because I knew that it most certainly wasn't me."We started training not too long ago," I reminded him. "I won't get to the standard you're expecting me to be even if we trained tirelessly for three months. I am a slow learner and to make it worse, I am also a human, so I learn at a snail's pace. Thank you very much."He chuckled. "How is it possible that you always have a comeback for everything I say but can't do your trainings properly?""Ma
Chosen Mate Battle.
IRISI finished taking my bath and wore a simple gown before making my way downstairs and toward the kitchen area. I needed to make something for myself if I didn't want to end up hungry and dead in the next few hours. I wonder what Dylan was thinking when he decided to send everyone on a day off trip, including the cooks. The only persons available were the guards at the security, other than that, no one.I had never made a single meal in my entire life, so I was wondering how I was going to cope with this new and recent development. Just when you thought that he has done it all, he goes ahead to surprise you by doing new things. I entered the kitchen and started on what to make for breakfast. Dylan arrived minutes later and scuttled around me."What are you trying to do?" He asked, and I couldn't decide if he had gone blind or was trying to rile me up at this point. He could clearly see me in the kitchen, couldn't he?I raised my head to look at him. "I'm trying to make pancakes or
Chosen Mate Falling for her.
DYLANBreakfast went well and we were all able to have a decent meal after Giselle had taken her time to make something sumptuous for us to eat. We had spent the entire morning fighting each other for what to eat, and I was pretty sure that if Kavan and Giselle didn't come when they did, we wouldn't be stopping anytime soon. The thought of it stretched my lips into a full smile."Are you smiling?" Kavan asked suddenly, and I immediately maintained a straight face. "What could you have been thinking about that has you smiling out in that manner?""Can we just enjoy a peaceful breakfast without you trying to ruin it?" I arched a brow at him and watched him focus on his meal immediately."The food was delicious," Iris said out loud. "Thank you Giselle. I honestly don't know what we could've done if you didn't walk in on us the time you did." She applauded her efforts while Giselle forced a smile to her face."You're too kind, my lady." She said before leaving us to discard the other dirt

GISELLEI hid in a corner listening to Kavan and the Alpha's discussion. I knew that eavesdropping on the leader of your pack was a punishable offense if caught but I just couldn't help it. I wanted closure. I wanted to know what exactly was happening because I never expected to walk in on what I just witnessed today. This would be the very first time I would be seeing them together.Lately, they have both been getting closer and cuddling a lot with each other, and I didn't like it. The Alpha was supposed to hate her, so why was he suddenly showing affection for her? Why was I not seeing the rage that I always did whenever he looked at her? What had changed in just these past few days?His Beta had asked if he was falling for her but he didn't give any reasonable answer to that question. Instead, he kept on avoiding it like a plague. Was he really falling for her? Was he forgetting that her people were the reason why his parents had to die?When I saw them acting all lovey-dovey in th
Chosen Mate An advise.
DYLAN"She's beautiful, isn't she?" Kavan asked when he caught me staring at Iris from afar. We had just arrived at the town and she looked so happy to be with them again. They also welcomed her with open arms. I had never seen my people so welcoming toward an outsider, let alone a human, but they were proving me wrong with each step.The older women had even gone out of their way to cook up something for her after they found out that she had fallen ill days ago. She chatted happily and excitedly with them. This was a first, considering that they didn't like her kind."I caught you staring, so you can't deny it." He primped, holding my gaze so that I couldn't make a run for his accusations even if I wanted to. I looked away immediately."I thought you told me that you don't like her and that you wouldn't fall for her? You're eating your words right now, aren't you?" He said with a knowing chuckle."And to think that you even invited her for a visit in town today. I never knew that I

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
