Finn
Whatever Cirdan was called for, must not have gone the way the queen wanted it to go because she called for me. She knew it was risky for two of us to meet, she made sure she never had such a reason before but for her to call it means something serious.
Wearing my gift from the queen which made me invisible in every aspect but one, and it was one rarely used, I took the quiet hallways to leave the school so I can meet up with the queen at the area she had chosen.
Even as I walked, my conscience pricked me, I was betraying a friend of mine. Although being Iris friend started out as a job, the queen reaching out to inform me of what she wanted from me even before Iris stepped a foot into Faery. I had discovered that she was quirky and a very good friend to have, funny even I don’t remember the last time I ever laughed the way I did with her and the fact that she included two other people into our clo
IrisFinn has been distant for some time now, not his annoyance kind of distance thankfully but a lot on his mind kind of distant.I watched Finn with Vane and Vine as he dropped his tray in the bin and left the cafeteria without taking a bit of his food.“This is alarming to watch.” Vane commented.“And painful too.” Vine added.“Did he lose his mate or something?” They both asked at the same time as they turned to face me.“What did I tell you both about acting creepy?” I glowered at them. Stabbing my food with the spoon in my hand.Vane blinked those baby blue eyes of his at me innocently.“Dare it and ask, who us?” I cuts in when he opened his mouth with a finger already pointed at himself.
IrisI was not going to escape them. My thoughts moved around, I was panicking and although it was not full blown yet, it was going to be very soon. My mind races as I watched the men approached me where I was huddled together with other women.“She thinks she can hide.” The male who seemed like the leader spoke with laughter.Another member of his gang took in a deep breathe close to my hair even as I shrank away from him. “She smells of ATI from afar, polished and pompous. The queen raised her replica.”I found my voice through my fear and unclogged my tongue from the roof of my mouth where it was. “My mother did not raise me, my father did. The king of the folks.”“And the brat just had to talk.” The men laughed between themselves as if my information about who my father was is a joke to them. “Yes silly g
CirdanWhen Finn rushed into school to say Iris was missing, I was already feeling something was off with the bond, the principal calmed him down and contacted her parents who came to school as quickly as they could and then Finn took us and a considerable amount of guards to the last place she was seen.For the next six hours, it was hell as I wondered where my mate was and what dangers has befallen her and I had a right to wonder too. When the bond opened, I could feel her terrified, so scared that my hands shook, all efforts I made to try and calm her through our bond yielded no results and just like the last time when she was attacked by a feral wolf, I used the bond to trace her location. Finn was with me and we both arrived at the deserted warehouse in the wild fae lands at the same time. He used some sort of spell of his, to get us through the walls after reassuring me that he had talked to the king and queen and their guards, a
IrisI felt rather than saw Cirdan gearing to counter my words, I could feel his emotions more clearly than before and when I said Finn would teach me, I saw that those words hurt him. That my choice had hurt him but this was not about him right now, this was about me so he needed to back off.“Iris.” Cirdan called.“Really Cirdan, you want to use that tone with me, like you are the one hurt?” I rolled my eyes while saying the words but when Cirdan flinched I felt bad. It was okay seeing my parents feel that way, I wanted to hurt them a little bit because somehow my mind blamed my little expedition and later capture on them, like it would not have happened if they hadn’t tried to keep me in this place as a prisoner with no rights of leaving.But Cirdan did not deserve to be hurt, his only fault is that he made the decision I chose. Not to use my power.
IRISIt’s been a month, two weeks and a day since ‘the incident’. My Clique hardly speak of it even though it weighs us down. In fact that is all we refer to it by, ‘The incident’. The time which none of us want to remember, at first it was hard for them. To ignore the dark circles under my eyes when I wake up, the fact that they wanted me to know that it was okay to not be okay, that it was okay to break down. Especially Vane and Vine, their shifter sense riding on them very hard because they were Alphas and it was their job to give comfort to those who they deemed as a part of their pack. Something Cirdan explained to me when they shifted into their animals in the middle of the cafeteria just to press their bodies against mine.Cirdan was another issue, he was unwilling to maintain the distance which we were supposed to keep before to prevent people from talking but now, their talks were what we were lea
Cirdan“She was provoked, what do you expect her to do?” I snapped at my father who was telling me that his phone was blowing up about his son’s mate. We were currently in Iris room and by we, I mean me, Iris, Finn and the twins. They were back in their wolf forms, pressing to Iris sides and this time, her fingers were deeply rooted in their furs. Accepting the comfort they were offering her but even with that acceptance, I could still feel her turmoil.“I am sorry sire, I know I am not supposed to talk to you that way.” I added a little calmer into the phone when my father’s silence greeted me.“I understand that you might be feeling your mates emotions currently but don’t let it change you.” My father said and I could feel the wave of disapproval from him. I winced at my actions and his reactions, he is someone who I did not want to let down and I just d
IRISCirdan has been acting odd since we left my room. We stopped first at his room because he said he needed to get something and then he came out and held my hand, not that I am complaining since it is nice but he also refused to let go and he has been sweating a lot in his palm like he was nervous.I have never seen him nervous too.“What’s up with you?” I eyed him as he gripped my hands so tight that my fingers hurt.“What do you mean?” He replied, not looking at me but looking straight ahead like he needed to keep his eyes on the road, a place he could go to with his eyes blindfolded because of how maley time he sneaked into my room at night while I was still in the school’s ward.“I mean you wanting to snap my fingers off.” I corked an eyebrow at him only for him to let go of my hand quickly.
IRISMy parents are finally around, the news went out yesterday, I don’t know why they waited until today before they arrived but they did and now I am on my way to the principal office to see them, I would have loved to look for Cirdan and go with him but I did not want to push them more. My father would be so disappointed in me for losing my temper.He did train me better at self-control, that was one part he excelled in, I was never to let my power out and because of one mean girl, I forgot all the training imbibed in me and attacked.When I got to the office, the mood was a dark one, both my parents were there not talking to each there, in fact, nobody in the room were talking to each other and they were much.Cirdan’s parents were also there and some other people whose power rolled off them in waves.People that seemed more at my parents l
IRIS“I am sorry for your loss.” The shifter king said, I didn’t even bother with knowing his name, the council had introduced their selves to me, thanking me for saving them from my power corrupt mother and they were more willing to be allies now but I did not want anything to do with them. Not after they prevented me and Cirdan from being together and were the cause of this.It could all be traced back to them and they knew it, they felt guilty and are trying to appeal to their conscience.“That loss you are referring to better be the loss of a mother who was not a mother or else.” I threatened the shifted king, my eyes shifted to red.The past few days, everybody learnt not to fear when my eyes shifted, brown were I was normal, red was when my powers were coming active which was often these days and black or swirling black was the entity which
I got to the cliff just in time to see Iris chanting.“No, Iris stop.” I yelled, Iris paused, froze a millisecond and then continued.“What are you doing here boy?” Nambra stepped in front of me to prevent me from moving forward.“Trying to prevent my mate from opening a portal to hell. Iris if you can hear me, fight him.”Nambra chuckled. “You silly boy, Iris is long gone.” My heart stuttered.“You are lying, she would never choose to give up.” And at that moment, Iris groaned. That gave me hope to try and reach her again.“She is fighting me…” The demon gritted through Iris mouth.“Chant and get your pack here, they will help ground you.” Nambra ordered and I shook my head. 
CirdanThe first place I should have started from in searching for King Elros was the queen palace, I really never thought that she would be egotistical enough to try and hide him close to her, or so I thought.I was already down to one day and I was panicking. I had not gone home in two days even though I sent words to my father that I was alright and he should start amassing the army of the Folk very quietly that there will be a sign and then they can charge forward.I knew that I should be looking for my mate but I did not even know how to start or where to start from. At least to some extent I knew where the king would be or who took him. The queen would not have kidnapped King Elros if he had not stumbled unto something, I was seriously hoping that, that something could help Iris and whatever was happening tomorrow.The Light castle was empty. The guards were few as if th
CirdanThe king is missing, and I was one of the last people to see him but I knew more than any other person what could have happened to the king or where he went. He went to confront the light fae queen and then he went missing. That was not a coincidence but before I could do anything, I needed to inform Iris about her father. She was in a better position to help him out of the queen clutches and besides she must be going crazy with worry.I would need to sneak into school and see Iris but for that, I would need a disguise, something that would hide me completely from others but my mate. She would recognize me and it would be easier to do this.Now all I had to do was to leave the ever watchful gaze of my mother without causing her to raise an alarm. And that was not going to be easy.“You have not been eating well for some time now Cirdan, I am worried.” The woman in
“What about Iris…” Finn asked cautiously as he walked side by side with me or rather Gader’el, they were currently at my mother’s castle and getting closer to my mother.“Weak and has given up.” Gader’el replied and he was not wrong, I had no will to even try clawing my way back, not when my father was missing and presumed dead while my mother, the woman who birthed me was the one who placed something else in my body with me.“But she is still alive right.” Finn asked but Gader’el paused at looked at Finn.“You like her.” Gader’el tilted his head to the side. “You are in love with her even though she doesn’t even think of you that way.”“You don’t know that.” Finn replied, his face growing red.“I
Iris“What do you mean that my father is missing?” I snapped at Finn who shifted away from me as if he could escape my rage that way.“He has not been seen in over three days and none of his retainers knows anything about where he is. If he is not found in the next four days, you would be pulled out of school so that you can hold the position down for him until his body is found.” Finn explained but my head was banging, like I was fighting a war with myself.“Stop talking, nothing has happened to my father, he probably took a breather.”“He didn’t iris.” Finn said, his eyes was filled with sympathy and pity, something which I just could not tolerate right now. My father was okay. I know that, he just needs to realize that too. “His people would be aware.”“He is a king Finn, Kings don&
KING ELROS“Perfect father, perfect king, perfect everything.” Nambra spat in hatred as she paced in front of me. “You did such a terrific job in raising Iris that she didn’t even want to know me, her mother. I had to bring her back somehow, I needed her for this purpose. I specifically went after one of the council members to father her because of my vision. She had to be on faery for it to work.”I froze, trying to comprehend what Nambra was saying. “Iris… is no mistake?”Nambra snorted. “Even if I had told you that she was a mistake, you should have believed something else, for goodness sake, I am the queen of the light fae, you think that I would allow a child I did not want to be born to even conceive. I did not bear the ridicule and gossips for a mistake.”“But you clearly said she was a mistake, faes don&rsquo
CirdanI was sitting, arms hugging my legs to my chest, starring at the wall of my room when the news came in.No, that was not right, I have taken this position for days now, ever since I was released home, I haven’t really talked, eat or move. i kept my mind blank and it helped with the pain.“Cirdan, the king is here for you.” My mother said softly and it took me some minutes to process her words, what was the king looking for.It took me some more minutes to make myself presentable and then I presented myself to the king who was pacing the foyer like he had a lot on his mind.He was a king and he must have a lot on his mind.“Your majesty.” I announced my presence as I swept into a low bow that almost had me stumbling, my stomach growled, I haven’t been eating much. 
IRISMy head felt like it wanted to split open, that was what woke me up. I groaned even as I sat up. A thick weight was on my hand as I tried to lift it to my head so I stopped bothering about lifting my hands to my head and focused on getting my head to reduce banging. When it did, I tried to open my eyes but the light made me whimper as I started to cry.“I will kill that fairy, I will break her wings and shove it up her ass.” My mother said, not in her usual shouting voice but rather in a calm way that felt even deadlier as the words ghosted over my skin and raised goosebumps in my hand.“Get in line.” My father replied in that same tone, a second before I felt the bed dip as extra weight landed on my side.“Papa.” I called in a small vulnerable voice, using a name which I rarely used since I was seven. I felt him tense before he placed his ha
