IRIS
The moment I felt my intuition go crazy I knew this was part of the bad feeling I kept having. I didn’t know what it was exactly but it felt like there was a literal army of eyes watching me. I had a sneaking suspicion those eyes were vampire related. The fact that Johnny felt something too made me feel strangely comforted, but also filled me with dread at what was to come. For once in my life though I didn’t have to justify myself or have someone question my motives or actions because Johnny understood and experienced that feeling too. Watching the tree line and all around me I had this crazy idea of filling in the gaps between the tree line to bring whatever was lurking within either out into the open or move it back. Not being entirely sure if my power was up to the job or if it was even possible, but I had this feeling inside me telling me I could…I can do it and so much more. Figured I would at least give it ago and
The rain starts to hit at my window, I can see dull clouds slowly coming over. I frown as I look trying to ease my mind. Again my mood is reflected in the weather outside. I’m still unsure if it is 100% me that makes it happen, but it seems too much of a coincidence for it to not. It isn’t often the weather reflects my mood, when it does it’s usually because I’m riddled with anxiety or stress and unable able to control my feelings. Luckily it’s a rarity, though today as I sit looking out of the window I can’t help but think about the giant task at hand. Sighing I close my eyes and move my sight to my laptop. Checking over all the details. It has taken months of planning and years of searching. I guess I should start at the beginning to explain it all….. But even then I am unsure on exact timelines and events or even basic information. I only know snippets through hear
That leads us back to present day and me looking at my laptop. Booking flights, searching hotels and figuring out what to do with Finn. And how long exactly I’d need to be gone for. Finn was used to me travelling for work purposes and if it wasn’t a school/college time he would come with me. But at the moment college is more important, and I’d have to have my adventure on my own this time. After chatting with dad and organising with him and Finns other grandparents, we decided 14 nights should be enough time to do what needs to be done. However if I needed more time they would be happy to keep looking after Finn. Since he pretty much looks after himself I knew he wouldn’t be too much trouble. I just didn’t like leaving him too long. We are thick as thieves and do pretty much everything together. Don’t get me wrong he has his own little life with his friends, college and hobbies etc. But we actually enjoy hanging out together, movies roller skating, walking, museums pretty much anyth
My room was small as I had expected. It again had a sterile smell, there’s a double bed, a couple of side tables and a desk opposite, there was a small bathroom just to the side of the door into the room, and a small closet opposite. The usual commodities of a television, iron and hair dryer were in included. I freshened myself up and then took the short walk down the block, to find the place the cab driver suggested earlier. I kept my handbag towards the front as I did in any city I visited, and tried to avoid the people walking ahead. Most of the people had blue auras but I noticed towards the back that black devilish aura again. I remain calm and keep walking making sure my face and eyes stay straight ahead. I could smell them before they passed, with any city you always get the alcohol, and unwashed piss smell. It’s always the part I least enjoyed, seeing lost souls wondering the streets, some harmless some ready to prey on tourists or anyone deemed weak. As the group walked tow
“Alpha I have some paperwork I need you to just look over and sign”“Ok come straight in” I mind link back. Rae is curator at the museum I own. She is also my sister. I own many businesses but the museum us my favourite. We both have a keen interest in history, so do our parents and most of our pack. By running the museum we are preserving our history making it accessible for future generations. We don’t show the world our werewolf heritage we show our Native American history, though some werewolf history clearly comes in to that but nothing a regular human would be able to piece together or realise. Native Americans are said to be the originators of werewolves, and we are descended from some of the first original werewolves. Further down the family tree to our family and it has become more diluted. Our Native American side originates from my mother’s side about 4 generations back. We all have dark features and hair but mine and sibling&rsq
“I’m Iris I’ll see you tomorrow!” I shout, oh my god “eeeeee” I can’t help an excited inward squeal. The guy is gorgeous, smart funny everything you could ever want. “Johnny…” I say his name out loud to myself, it feels like a dream. It has to be. He is literally the definition of tall dark and handsome, not just handsome godly handsome. I can’t describe the feeling his touch gives me, when he fell on top of me it felt like the world stopped and I could see into his soul. His eyes were burning with desire. I could feel my body yearning for him. So desperate to touch him, to kiss him even. When he brushed my hair away from my face I felt myself melt inside. The walls protecting my heart and soul shook. His touch released a calm wave through me. It felt so natural to talk and just be near him, the moment I realised I had to go meet Rae a part of me felt a little lost and sad that I had to go, but knowing I was hopefully going to see him again tomorrow gave me an exhilarating feeling.
After me and Will finish our jog we head straight over to the museum. I have a few things to do while over there and Will takes this opportunity to spend a little time with his mate. I mind link Rae to let her know we are here and are in my office. She informs me she’s in a meeting with Ms Davis and could be awhile. Will is naturally bummed as he wants to see his mate so I send him away to grab a couple of coffees from Starbucks, so I don’t have to deal with his pining for my sister. Since being back at the museum Azell had been pacing in my head, his pacing became more frequent and none stop as the minutes passed, it was slowly driving me insane giving me a headache. He had no idea what was wrong but knew something somewhere wasn’t right. Will had been gone around 15 minutes when my sister mind linked me in absolute panic.“ALPHA!! Brother please!!! Come quickly!! I don’t know what to do!!! Some things gone wrong!” she opens her mind more
Suddenly my eyes snap open I gasp for air remembering the searing pain in my hand. Slowly a warm calm wave flows over me and I register someone’s hands on my cheeks. Wait I recognise that face… “J….Johnny? What are you doing here?” My voice came out in a whisper. “Rae is my sister and this is my museum.” He smiles at me I look over to Rae and I can immediately see the resemblance now. “Oooh…” I look back to Johnny who still has his hands on my face and I immediately start to blush at the awkwardness, he must realise he is still holding my cheeks and he blushes too and slowly lets go. I clear my throat. “So anyone care to tell me what the hell happened??” Johnny runs a hand through is hair and grabs a stool to sit down. As I watch him something deep inside me stirs and I can see his aura so clearly. It’s the most beautiful aura I have ever seen in my life. Pure liquid gold surrounded him towards the edge of the aura was even more beautiful. Think of the northern light
I take hold of the door handle in my good hand and lean into the door frame to block the doorway.“Hi…can I help you?” I asked“I need to speak with Johnny I have some papers for him to sign.” She looks straight at me and leans in taking a long deep sniff” weird…..“Well I’m afraid Johnny is indisposed at the moment so can I help with anything?”“No, you can just hand him these. Tell him I’ll see him later” and she whispers “whore” to me, it was barely audible but I definitely heard it. She then saunters down the hallway swinging her hips leaving me with the paperwork. In top of the paper work is a post it note with a graphic sexual intimate message about the two of them. Inwardly rolling my eyes. Johnny walks out the bathroom with his shorts no longer pitching a tent. I walk over to his desk and place the paperwork down.“Kady said there are some impo

Johnny Iris and I wait behind whilst everyone else makes their way to the ceremony. I take her hand and lead her into my office. “I just wanted to give you something before we start the ceremony and kinda lessen to the blow of sending you home tomorrow.” I tell her grimacing “Huh? What do you mean you’re sending me tomrrow?” she looks a little annoyed but not mad at least. “ok babe hear me ok?” she give me a small nod and perches herself on the arm of the chair. “ok so you know all this shit kicking off with the vamps, well…I keep getting these weird kind of feelings telling me things are bad or good” “you think it’s like my intuition?” “yes...I do” “well this is a surprise. I wonder if it’s because we have fully mated now?” she asks me stroking her chin. “I would think so, but you have to understand, I do not want to be away from yo
Do you ever have those moments where nothing seems to go right? As soon as I get complacent and comfortable something happens and I wonder if I am ever going to catch a break. Don’t get me wrong I am so soooo happy I found my mate, unbelievably so I thank my lucky stars every day. I just want to be able to have a normal day where things don’t go wrong. Zane was ambushed when transferring the vamp from here to his territory. We have no idea how they knew it was happening since we did it last minute and only our most trusted warriors were on the task. Only Will, Zane and I knew about it. But they got him good. They killed a handful of our warriors Zane is recovering and thankfully will recover with no lasting injuries, but if he didn’t have werewolf healing abilities we would be planning his funeral right now. According to the 2 wolves able to speak there was at least 50 vampires attacking. We had 20 warriors escorting that one vampire which was over ki
Deep in heavenly slumber snuggled in the arms of my hot blooded mate. I couldn’t think of anywhere else I would rather be right now. Snuggling in closer to Johnny’s chest my foot twitches annoyingly and I bring my leg further up the bed snuggling deeper. Drifting off again and there it is yet again a twitch and an unbearable tickle, my leg shakes and I can’t help moan annoyingly. The tickle is now becoming relentless to the point Johnny even moans at me to stop wiggling.“Iris… go to sleep its early…. ““Well stop tickling me”“I’m not tickling you” I immediately sit up scanning the bed for bugs or spiders, Johnny is now watching me with one eye smirking at me. I probably look ridiculous rummaging around the bed, I glance over the end of the bed and see Rae lying on the floor with a feather silently laughing hold her mouth.“Rae?!! That’s it your dead!&rdqu
IrisThe amulet was resting on top of the soil, Jareth placed his hand just hovering over it. I watched him closely his eyes closed in concentration, after a couple of seconds I saw tiny green shoots coming up out of the soil wrapping themselves around the amulet encasing it in, just like I had done when I was healing myself, only the shoots were just that, shoots. Not thick vines that I had covering myself and I wondered if that was because this was a smaller thing… or maybe his was a different plant because he was a different type of druid. Once the vines had fully covered the amulet the veins running all through the shoots and leaves glowed a neon kind of purple like mine did. The amulets stone swirled as if it was alive, it was truly breath taking.“Whatever the dark ones have done to this amulet it is there no longer. There was only a small amount of it left behind but it woul
The journey to this antique collector’s house took around 4 hours, traffic was smooth running thankfully and depending on our timing it would be smooth on our way back too. The city was a lot smaller than where Johnny lived and he assures me smaller than Blake’s and Zane’s. The collector’s house was right on the edge of the city where you usually find the grander more up market houses. Parking was also at a premium and we had to park a street over. Thankfully though the walk wasn’t far Rae had a full briefcase with her that Will insisted on carrying for her. Johnny carried a backpack with the amulet in the safety deposit box tucked safely inside which we weren’t to mention it until Johnny gave us the ok. The area was full of period town houses all at least 3 to 4 stories high. Gated fronts with steps up to the door way. Some even had guards stood outside ready to throw out the riff raff it made me feel a little out of place. I walked hand in hand
I had the best time with Clara we get on so well we always have. She is an amazing interior designer the first time we met it was an instant friendship and we have kept in touch ever since. She managed to lighten the mood after the weird Blake incident. While they were gone we stayed in the kitchen drinking tea. Johnny’s kitchen is like the rest of the house light and airy with a cosy feel. The solid wood touches make it feel warm and inviting. Clara explained to me how ridiculous the whole Blake thinking I was his mate actually was, and we ended up laughing at his expense which I’m glad because the last run in I had with a werewolf didn’t end well for me. It only seemed about 20 minutes that the guys had been gone but when I checked the time it had actually been a couple of hours to my surprise. I couldn’t help notice the stressed and tensed looks the two alphas had when they walked in. They spoke in hushed tones to each other. Clara had a frow
Once we had eaten I took Blake and Zane to see the vampire leaving Iris and Clara still eating and talking in the kitchen. Will had gone ahead around 10 minutes earlier making sure there were no issues everything seemed to be going according to plan. As wolves we aren’t afraid of much, vampires included they are usually just a fucking pest to be honest. They usually leave a blood bath where ever they go, every experience I’ve had with a vamp hasn’t been pleasant the myth goes they came from the devil himself as only something so impure and evil could make something equally as bad. I haven’t come across a vampire old enough to shed any truth on this but my pack elders seem to agree with the myth. As we head over to my pack prison Blake apologises for the millionth time about Iris. “Johnny I am really sorry about what happened I don’t know what came over my wolf he is just so restless all the time.” “Unfortunately being an Alpha means all your urges and
After a long ass fucking day I was supposed to get an early night but ended up in the investigation room (I wanted a really cool name but this has stuck before we had chance to change it) when we finally headed to bed I was done before Iris, I mind linked all the warriors on duty to make sure things were ok. The vampire was getting more restless which means by tomorrow we should be able to bait him a little. As I was coming to the end of the mind link I could feel an over whelming sense of anxiety which felt weird ‘Azell is this Iris we feel?’ *It is definitely not me I would say it is mate*I got up walked towards the bathroom I could hear the rain outside it’s definitely Iris she said this happens when she’s worried…. But worried about what everything is ok now…..“What’s wrong?” I asked leaning against the door frame… she had been so engrossed in her own thoughts she hadn’t realised I’d been
