Unleashed devil

The gathering of her friends which was noisy grew eerily quiet.

Meanwhile, the fragile looking young man eyes snapped to iris's face. He had a look of shock on his face but immediately masked it with a look of nonchalance. Iris was too slow to catch on to the change in his expression.

"Did you just say what I think you said?", Iris's best friends, Michelle and Precious both asked at the same time.

Iris felt flustered as she took a look at the inquisitive pairs of eyes staring at her with questioning looks. Staring at the curious eyes of her inquisitive friends, Iris knew there was no way out of this but to come out clean. She sneaked a look at her mate and couldn't help but think he looked cute. When she saw him in the hall at noon, she thought he was good looking despite his black skin but as she stared at his milky white skin, she couldn't help but appreciate his beauty.

Before she could space out, her shoulder was tapped twice. She instinctively wanted to tell the person's head off but seeing that it was not other than her 'fiance' whom her father had picked for her, she kept mute.

"Oh, Iris, the fiance is here", an extravagantly dressed lady who sat beside Iris smiled as she winked at her. Precious was no beauty. The only thing that kept her sane was make-up and expensive jewelries. Without them she'd be looking no less than a slave.

Iris forced a smile on her face. From the corner of her eyes, she made sure to catch on every expression her fragile looking mate had on. She was unaware of the deathly glares thrown at him.

Unknowingly, Iris got disappointed when she caught no expression on her mate's face. She had thought he'd at least speak up but no, he didn't even budge. She was about to sigh defeatedly when her fiance, Dominic, suddenly spoke up.

"You scrawn, what's your name and what are you doing still standing there?", Dominic asked and placed his left hand on iris's shoulders. Iris was aware of what he was about doing as this wouldn't be the first time she was doing such. She had immediately closed her mouth as soon as she realized she was about to speak up. No, she couldn't make things complicated- she mumbled.

"My name is Miguel and I'm about to serve drinks and food. I apologize for...for the delay", Iris heard the soft yet soothing voice of her mate. Even when he stammered, his voice was still very pleasant to the ears. The voice could make anyone suffering from severe insomnia sleep in a matter of seconds. Iris's ears itched to hear her mate's voice again. After few minutes, she gave up on that thought and instead wallowed in the feeling of his name rolling of her tongue.

"Well, what are you waiting for? Serve it and get the hell out of here", Dominic said menacingly and glared at Miguel. He no longer had that innocent smile on his face anymore which made Iris surprised.

Opening her mouth again, wanting to defend Miguel, she remembered the words of Gretta and wanted to scream out her frustrations. She couldn't even defend her own mate!

She swallowed whatever words that were about to come out of her mouth and stared at Dominic with anger hidden in her eyes.

"Uh oh", Michelle whistled the moment she noticed the hidden anger in iris's eyes. Within their circle, they were all smart enough to not anger the grumpy and angry Iris as she was a ticking time bomb. This didn't apply to Dominic cause he found her anger very appealing to him. It added more to her already beautiful face. Her long brown wavy hair, thin eyebrows, long lashes, big doe eyes, brown orbs, a button nose, cherry red lips and an oval face made her cute enough. Accompanied with her angry expression, she looked more like an angry puppy to Dominic but the rest of the circle were smart enough not to taunt her. They vividly remembered the lesson Iris taught a boy during their school days. The boy was at the brink of death when he was found at the foot of a mountain. None of them wanted to be beaten like that. Despite her small figure, Iris had more strength than the warrior leader.

"Awwn, what's got my puppy angry?", Dominic asked as he pinched iris's cheek. Iris couldn't help but cringe upon hearing the stupid nickname and his annoying voice.

She awkwardly smiled and shook her head in dismissal.

Miguel paid no heed to this and walked around the table to stand behind Iris. He ignored the looks he was given and picked a glass of wine before placing it on the table. He had just taken a step forward when he fell flat on his face. Roars of laughter were heard as everyone made fun of him.

The young pretended he heard nothing and used his hands to raise himself up. Before he could stand up, Miguel felt a liquid dripping down his back. He raised his head and stared into Dominic's black orbs. His eyes then zeroed in unto the glass of wine that had been emptied down his back. As quietly as he could, Miguel left without making a noise.

Meanwhile Iris was fuming in anger.

"Did you have so much fun with me?" a figure emerged from the darkness as he stood before the bloodied Dominic.
