Chosen Mate Lusting after her.
DYLANI woke up to Iris's body convulsing on top of mine. She was drenched in sweat, and her eyes were snapped shut. I held onto her like my life depended on it. The physician had only told me to make sure that I had body contact with her which I have been doing all night long, so what could be wrong with her? I had been offering myself as support to make sure that she was okay. So why wasn't she okay, and why was she shaking to the point of sweating out in mass?"Iris?" I called out to her, but she didn't wake up. Instead, it only got worse. Damn it. If she was a werewolf, then I would know exactly what to do, but she wasn't one. She was a human, and I didn't understand their physiology. How was I supposed to help her out of this one?I have tried the close body contact, but it wasn't as effective as I had hoped."Wake up, Iris. This isn't funny anymore, and I don't like it," I whispered to her in a stern voice, but she wouldn't budge. Left with no other option, I threw off the blank
Chosen Mate Accusations.
IRIS.I moaned into the light and opened my eyes slowly. The rays of sun passed through them, and I hid my face in my pillows to block the sun from shining directly into the room. I groaned when I realized that it wasn't working and turned to the other side. Just when I tried my very best to have a good night's sleep, the sun had ruined it. Goodness!Yawning awake, I took in my surroundings and In my dazed eyes, I could tell that I wasn't in my bedroom. My eyes flew open, and I was right. This wasn't my bedroom. However, the bedroom looked familiar to me. Like I already came in there once. My eyes widened as realization set in.Wait a minute, was this Dylan's room? Holy smokes in Wheels! How did I end up here? What was I doing here and how— the rest of my words caught up in my throat when I saw the bigger picture. I was naked. I didn't want to believe it. However, it was nothing but the truth. I slowly pulled the cover over my body and checked again, only to realize that I wasn't wea
Chosen Mate Guilty as charged.
Iris. "What happened last night? And why does he want to see me?" I interrogated my maids as they helped me out of bed to get me cleaned up and ready for the morning. I had been trying to come up with instances as to why he said that I had lied to him, but there was nothing popping up in my brain. Everything felt blank and I couldn't understand what he meant by that statement. Did Kavan tell him anything? No! I highly doubt that. Kavan had given me his word that he would not say a word to Dylan and that he would keep whatever we discussed between us a secret. Besides, we dropped him off last night. If Dylan was with me for the better part of the night, then it only meant that he didn’t see Kavan yesterday after we came back. But if he did not see Kavan and the two of them didn’t have any discussion whatsoever amongst themselves, then what on earth did he mean by saying I had lied to him and betrayed him? None of it was making any sense. Did I suffer a concussion last night or had my
Chosen Mate Apologies.
IRIS "All done. You look very beautiful, my lady." The maids complimented me, and I forced a smile at them. I still couldn't get over what they had just said. I had been so upset with Dylan when in real sense, I was alive because of him. Maybe Kavan was right. Maybe he wasn't as bad as I had painted him to be. He might have his very own issues but then again, he still looked out for me which was something that I never expected. "We also wanted to thank you for what you did yesterday." One of them began. "My mother told me that you helped the village and that she was pleased that the Alpha found a woman just like you." "Oh..." I flushed. "I had no idea that your mum had seen me in the village." "Believe me, she has." She confirmed. "My mum is very skeptical when it comes to humans and creatures that are not like our kind, but yesterday she spoke of you as though you were one of us, and she also told me that every woman in the village was saying the same thing too. She told me that t
Chosen Mate Dylan being cautious.
IRIS True to his words, Dylan actually ordered the maids to serve us breakfast in my room. I thought that he was joking but apparently, he wasn't. He was actually serious about it. What exactly had gotten into him? And why was he suddenly trying to be nice? I was not used to this side of him and inasmuch as it sounded inviting, it still felt strange that he was doing this. I mean, I expected him to lash out at me. I expected him to yell and get angry because of what I had said to him earlier, but he didn't look angry or upset, to say the very least. If anything, he had a look of determination and seriousness on his face. The maids trooped into my room with different dishes and different portions of food neatly and nicely covered. They set a table in front of us and placed them one at a time till they were completely done. "All of this looks delicious." I ran my tongue over my lips and swallowed deeply. My stomach grumbled in hunger. I couldn't believe that I had tried to get away fr
Chosen Mate Confrontation.
DYLAN From the corner of my eyes, I could see Iris drooling. I knew that she was hungry and that she wanted to eat so badly, but it was fun playing with her in this manner. She should never have made that comment in the first place. She thought that she was so smart. Well, today would be an eye opener for the both of us. "Are you really going to eat all of that?" She pointed at the dishes scattered on the table In front of us. I took a pause and nodded my head before resuming to eat again. "They're delicious and it's food, so why shouldn't I?" I questioned, and she swallowed again. "Besides, you were the one who said that the food might not be sweet, so it has nothing to do with me." She pouted. "It was only a harmful comment and I didn't mean to." I stopped momentarily. "Iris, the food is literally in front of you and I am not stopping you from eating, so why are you not eating?" I questioned and after biting her lips nervously, she picked up a spoon and began to dig in. "This i
Chosen Mate A new kind of agreement.
IRIS Shit! How did he find out about that? I had intentionally hid it from him, so how on earth did he find out that I was hiding something like that from him? Did Kavan maybe say something to him when they were discussing together? I highly doubted that. Kavan would not have said anything as long as I didn't authorize him to do so. Besides, he had been with us for the greater part of yesterday. Although Dylan was suspicious, he didn't look like someone who knew what was going on between me and his best friend. Kavan promised not to say anything. He gave me his word, and I actually believed that he didn't say anything to Dylan. Or maybe he called him here when I was knocked out yesterday? I didn't think that he did as well because the maids didn't mention anything about him coming here. They only said that the physician was the one who came to administer treatment to me and that Dylan was the one who spent the night with me, so there was no way that he could have come here after we
Chosen Mate Intimacy.
IRIS Dylan kept to his promise to train me. He sent for me the next morning to join him in the fields and although I didn't believe it, he did. I guessed my little chit-chat with him the other day seemed to work perfectly and he was beginning to open up to me in a lot of ways. Not that I was complaining or anything. I liked the fact that he was starting to include me in a lot of things. The training went perfectly, except for the times when he knocked me off the field, causing me to land on my butt forcefully. Other than that, it went perfectly. "You'd have to stand your ground if you ever have a chance at beating me, Iris." He barked furiously. I wasn't sure if I liked the serious Dylan. He was making me feel stupid at this point, but at least he did tell me that it wouldn't be easy. "How do you expect me to beat you when you keep on pushing me to the ground at the slightest chance that you get?" I retorted. "Give me a break. I'm a woman and my butt is slowly starting to hurt."

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
