Thor POVWhen I reached Iris, her lips twisted in a tight pout as she shot me a what-are-you-doing-here gaze, but I smiled at her.Not giving a shit about the stares I was getting, I pulled out a chair and sat beside her.Call at jealousy because that's exactly what I felt, and I wanted to see my competitions, look them in their eyes, and remember their faces, imprinting them in my mind for future purposes."What are you doing here!" Dach shouted, jumping to his feet.If I wasn't at a disadvantage here, I would have rushed to him and slammed his face into this table until his blood soaked its smooth wooden surface.That unfortunate night, he stood beside Hatzis, laughing with a glass of wine in his hand, and treating me like an ally just to spit in my face at the end of the night while the silver chain burned into my skin."Remis, Zika, it's good to see you two after nineteen years," I mumbled
Iris PovWhat was Thor thinking doing such a dangerous thing and putting himself at such a risk, placing me in between him and three packs, including mine?!As Thor stood to his feet, I shot him a warning look, but he looked enraged that it had me puzzled about what he was thinking about to look so pissed."I will take my leave now, Luna Iris. But expect to see my face again. I was serious with my words, and I hope you would consider them." Alpha Zika said, smiling at me as he woke from his seat.I was about to return a smile when I caught Thor staring at me, his hand in a tight fist, and I finally had a picture of what must be going on in his head. He was jealous, and I would have found it cute if he didn't look like he wanted to murder Zika and Ramis.My gaze followed Alpha Zika out the room and so did Thor. He didn't look away until Zika was out the door. Then he eyed me, his eyes raging with anger, and I swallowed down my fe
Thor POVSqueezing my fist tightly, I rested my head against the wall, waiting for Iris, dying to pick up her voice and scent within the walls of this mansion.How could she cage me in this room while she's out there, doing who knows what! These walls seemed to be closing up on me as my anger grew uncontrollable.But finally, I picked up Iris's scent and heard her say, "You all can leave now."Casting my gaze on the doorway, I watched as it opened, and Iris walked inside.After shutting the door, she crossed her arm, staring intensely at me as her face hardened.When it was just us in the mansion, Iris threw her hands in the air and lashed out, "What were you thinking Thor, walking in there! You could have gotten your ass killed! Are you trying to make life harder for me!" She was already hysterical, and I knew letting my anger determine my words would make things ugly, so suppressing my rage, I decided to be the reasonable one in this conversation."I guess all that you have said bef
"Are you not going to help me?" Iris whispered, pouting hard.When I didn't respond, she narrowed her eyes and mumbled, "Fine. I will do it myself."I have tried to refrain from touching Iris until she wanted this because that's what she yearns for and not because of the sake of peace. But I couldn't hold back as I watched Iris pull her dress hand downward, off her shoulder, and did the same to her other hand.Fear danced in her eyes as she allowed her gown to slide off her body, revealing the bareness of her skin to me.One looked at Iris, and I wanted to imprint my touch everywhere on her skin and make sure that she wouldn't forget this moment, ever in her life. Not saying a word to me, she walked over to the bed, laid down, and looked at me, her eyes calm finally."You don't want this," I mumbled, staring at her alluring body, resting gently against the mattress."Don't tell me what I crave and don't want. Now, are we going to finish off from where we stopped this morning?" Iris s
Iris PovA fool is what I am for agreeing to Thor's bizarre rule and trusting him that he would not betray me and my pack in the long run since he refused to mark me.Yet, I decided to be a clod because trust goes both ways, and maybe after giving it to him, he would let go of whatever trauma that has him so dubious about things.So, I buried my desire to slap him in the face and tried to think about what I was going to do this morning. But there is not much I can do today because Thor had depleted me of every vitality in my bone, and I'm laying on my bed, hoping that I have no vital duty to attend to today.But my heart suddenly sunk and a feeling of annoyance overwhelmed me when the was a knock on my room door."Rona, what is it?!" I mumbled, sinking deep into my bed."My Luna, you have a messenger here to see you!" "Can't you just pass on his message to me!" "He requested that he tell you the message to you himself other than anyone else." Knowing how tight my schedule is, why d
Thor POVWas I a joke to Iris for her to agree so easily to another man's invitation like we just didn't spend the night in bed, against each other bare skin!"Okay then. I will pass onto Alpha Eros that Alpha Thor would be attending his ball also." Helios said, eyeing me with a shaky gaze."Yes," Iris mumbled in a weak voice.After Helios turned to leave, she threw me a hard look. But I walked away, heading into the mansion.When I got to my room, Iris stormed in after me and slammed the door shut, causing me to turn and stare at her."What?" I mumbled when she rolled her eyes."You know Alpha Eros?" Iris asked.That fucking lunatic. Of course, I knew him. He is an insane brutal ass who pretended to be a saint for his father who he was afraid of until he murder him in his sleep, blaming it on an assassin that never existed. Not many people know that. But when he hung out with someone like me, he used me as his priest to confess his shitty sin when the guilt became a burden because he
Iris POV The days went by way quicker than I wanted, and since I agreed to attend the ball, I had to go to this damned party, even though this morning, I kind of have this awful gut feeling. So, I forced myself out of bed because it was useless trying to sleep when there was an eventful day ahead of me, and I was nervous. Not caring to wear something on my bare feet, I walked out of my room, not bothering to change clothes or brush my hair, and headed towards Thor's bedroom. When I reached his door, I stood in front of it staring down at the black handle with a sense of hesitation that kept bubbling inside me. Suddenly, the door opened, and standing two feet away from me was Thor, staring into my eyes with a soft expression as he gazed at me with concern. "Morning?" Thor muttered, opening the door more widely so I could enter, and then closing it behind me. "It's still so early, why aren't you resting. It's going to be a long journey-" "I can't sleep," I interrupted, walking tow
Thor Pov A knock on my door caused my wolf to stir inside of me as I lifted myself off my bed, grunting in annoyance, and walked over to the door. When I opened it, I found a servant girl standing there with an urgent look in her eyes. As soon as she saw me, she bowed respectfully and said, "Our Luna asked that you get dressed in these." For a moment, I gazed at the garment bag in her hand and then back at her soft smile before taking the bag from her and nodding my head, and then shutting the door in her face. The thought of seeing Ero again was messing with my wolf, and I'm pretty sure, as far as my wolf goes, he doesn't get restless easily but knowing the reason why Ero invited Iris to his so-called party, I couldn't help but feel anxious. Laying the bag on my bed, I sat at the edge of my bed frame and buried my face into my palm, allowing a frustrated growl to escape my throat. Even though Iris is my mate, it doesn't change the fact that I am still the alpha of a pack her
Iris POV When Thor told me that he knew Alpha Ero, a part of me thought he was lying, but now, seeing how the two interacted with each other, I knew that he was telling the truth.But if Thor and Ero are, or used to be best buddies, then why we're he so close to my uncle, who torture and abused Thor for years and years?!Looking at Thor, my heart ached at the Thor of how much betrayal he must have felt and was still suffering from deep inside.Maybe this is why he doesn't trust me or wants to let me have access to his emotions and be vulnerable with his feelings.Forcing myself to remain focused on what was happening around me, I watched as Eros took the glass of wine from Thor's hand, and brought it to his mouth, draining it within seconds while chuckling."Now, Luna Iris, I'm sad that you haven't learned from your first mistake of taking over my authority," Ero spoke, staring down at me as he licked his lips, his eyes gleaming with pleasure and mischief.Within less than a second,
Slowly, I turned my head towards where the voice came from and found a man standing near a table with a tray full of drinks, his eyes fixed on me, filled with excitement. His brown hair was slicked back perfectly and he wore a dark gray suit with black stripes."It's you!" He cried, his hands trembling slightly as he approached us, his eyes glued to me when he stopped and bowed respectfully. "I know that you don't know me, but I'm, 'Cruz.' I have admired the tales of you all my life!" This entire situation was making me nervous, and I couldn't help but glance around the room, seeing people staring at me, whispers reaching my ears loud and clear."It's him. Alpha Thor!" A low voice said from beside me, making me look up to see an old beta."Alpha Thor and Iris? What are we missing? Didn't her uncle keep him in captivity for so many years?" I heard a female voice, followed by several more whispers as the crowd grew even more restless.My eyes darted left to right, staring at the faces
