IRIS.

The battle of stare lasted for over a minute. At some point, I became afraid, thinking about how I had put the woman on the spot when she was only trying to be nice to me.

"Giselle, I–"

The door opened abruptly, cutting off my apology. I watched as the kind and worried look on Giselle's face dropped, quickly replaced by an informidable one before she turned to look at whoever the intruder was.

"What insolent act is that?!" She barked at the newcomer.

I leaned to a side so I could see who it was. I frowned when I saw a young girl of no more than twelve lowered her head. Whether it was from respect for Giselle or fear of her, I couldn't tell.

"The Luna... I was just trying... trying..."

"For goddess's sake, Clarise, stop trying. How many tines have I told you that?" Even though Giselle's voice was stern, she didn't sound as awful as some of my teachers from school.

"I just wanted to make sure the Luna was okay." The girl called Clarise said solemnly.

"It's okay, Giselle.

    IRIS. True to her words, Giselle delivered the detailed map to me about three hours later. She went overboard to the point of marking where each place that was guarded and when the switching of guards would take place. I smiled after studying the map and rolling it back. Luckily for me, the time when she delivered the letter of a map was late at night and also closed to the time when the switching of guards would happen. I quickly got out of the clothes Clarise had taken her time to dress me in for the supposed first dinner with the Alpha. I wore all black clothes to camouflage me into the night. Once I was done, I escaped through the window to my door in order not to alert anyone to my intention. I merged into the dark and immediately took the run for it in the first direction the map showed me to take. As Giselle predicted, the place was empty - probably because it was an open spot and the confidence that no one would dare try anything was there for that animal man. I didn't car

  • Chosen Mate   Another argument.

    IRIS The miracle came in the form of a white wolf charging from the other side. I watched in horror as the white wolf charged at the first wolf it came across, then it rushed straight to the wolf that was trying to attack me. Seeing that two of their comrades were rapidly down, the three other wolves retreated immediately. Rather than let them go, the white wolf chased after them. I stood transfixed to a spot, unable to go after the wolves or even run for my life. It wasn't until I heard a scared whimper that my brain began to work again. I turned in the opposite direction the wolves raced to and ran for my life. I had barely covered a lot of distance when I felt something dragged me by the edge of my dress. I let out a loud cry, already knowing what it was. Just as expected, I saw a wolf - the white wolf - holding me back and preventing me from making a run for it. "Let me go, you monster!" I screamed, trying to free my dress from its fangs somehow. Still, the wolf held on even

  • Chosen Mate   The wild ones.

    DYLAN"Any other suggestions that would be useful to prevent the wild ones from attacking our people?" Coniel, one of the Alphas, questioned but was met by a deafening silence. We were all gathered in the Druid pack for a conference slated to help out packs.With my hand firmly rested on my jaw, I tried my utmost best to think of something. The attack of the wild ones had been going on for a very long time and so far, we have heard and received cases of people who had been attacked and hurt by them.The wild ones were werewolves who had lost their basic and moral instincts. They were fueled by rage and their purpose was basically to kill and destroy. Over time, we tried different strategies to stop the killings but to no avail."Why don't we gather troops and kill them off one after the other?" Aiden, another Alpha present at the meeting, voiced out his opinion, and the rest of the Alphas present chimed in agreement."But that would take days," I blurted out. "And the killings will st

  • Chosen Mate   Tired!

    DYLANInside the confinement of my chambers, I undressed and quickly took my bath. I stood under the cold shower as the water cascaded down my bare body. I couldn't stop thinking about what Arnold had said to me.As much as I didn't want to think about it, I couldn't help but think that he actually made a point. He was right about one thing, the goddess only sent this woman into my life as a means of punishing me despite being aware of everything that I had gone through. Why would she get me mated to a mere mortal? A human? Most Alphas had been gifted with strong and independent Lunas, but what I got was another excuse to feel sad and sorry about my miserable life.Stepping out of the shower, I dressed up lightly and took a seat at my desk. It would be better that I locked myself here than face that woman because there's no telling what I might say or do to her. She was fragile anyway.Just as I was about to get busy, I heard a solid knock on my door. I thought that I had made it cle

    DYLAN"About what Alpha Arnold said the other day, do not take it to heart, Alpha. He has always been known for his foul mouth. I still don't understand how you two became friends in the first place," Kavan tried to console me as we took a stroll around the mansion.He had come to visit and drop off some files that I was supposed to work on, but I knew that it was only an excuse to see Iris."Arnold..." I began, my hands folded behind my back as I walked. "Arnold has never always been like that. He was a good friend who had always stood by me. I honestly don't know where and how it all went up in flames.""It's his loss anyways. Don't beat yourself up about it. Besides, he would have to apologize to you during the next Alphas' conferences." Beta Kavan primped, but I didn't utter a single word. To be honest, I didn't care if he apologized or not. I already had a lot going on for me and this wasn't exactly one of them."I will look through the files that you have brought and if there's

  • Chosen Mate   Fury.

    DYLAN"Help me..." A silent plea escaped her lips as I watched her struggle tooth and nail to get out of their grasps. Her clothes were almost ruined, and I could see her nearly exposed skin through the thick layer of fabric that was supposed to cover her."They dare to touch my mate?" My wolf growled in anger. I have never liked the fact that my wolf was keen and taken in with this woman. I wasn't even interested in her, so why is he? I thought that I had already made a pact with my wolf that I didn't want a mate. So, just how was she able to stir him awake despite all my attempts to suppress my feelings?Die! They will all Die!!!That was the only statement my wolf was chanting repeatedly as I stared as my mate got dragged and her clothes ripped apart forcefully. I felt my wolf already close to the surface and I took deep breaths in an attempt to calm my anger and control my emotions from spiraling out of control."Let her go," I spoke in an uninterested manner. "You should know tha

    IRISTerrified!That's the only word to to describe how I felt at this point. I couldn't believe that those men had tried to attack me. What if Mr. Wolfman wasn't there to defend me when they had come for me? What if they had forcefully slept with me? What would I have done?I was still pissed with what he had told me during lunch and as if I hadn't suffered enough for one day, this also had to happen."Luna Iris?" The maid called out to me, and I snapped back to reality. I had just finished my bath and she was helping me get ready.She had discarded my torn clothes and had gotten me a new dress to put on. I was grateful for her efforts. If she wasn't there to help me, I probably wouldn't be able to do anything by myself. I was too shaken to even think straight at this point. This was far more than I had anticipated to happen today.It was supposed to be a fun filled day but so far, there was nothing fun about it."All done, Luna." She said to me. I immediately went in search of Mr.

    IRIS"Are you ready?" The maid who had been assigned to get me ready asked me, and I nodded my head in affirmation. She had dressed me up in a white plain flowing dress, and my hair had been let loose to fall in its knotted mass.As per instruction, I have been told not to put on make up or wear any Jewelry to dress fancy in any sort. I was meant to look natural without any artificial clothes.Today was the day set aside for my ritual and I was utterly nervous. I couldn't sleep a wink last night because I hadn't fully comprehended what was about to happen yet. The more I thought about it, the more I realized how foolish I was to have agreed to this in the first place.I wasn't fully his wife and our marriage was a sham, so why am I going through all this in the first place? What exactly was I trying to prove? Was this some kind of joke because I was beginning to think that I had lost my senses."I am ready," I responded, and she led me out. I was surprised to see other maids waiting f

  • 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
