GAVIN. CONTRACT The ray of sunlight reflection on my face made my eyes flutter open. I couldn't remember well what had occured for me to get here but looking at my surroundings, I could tell I was in a room and it wasn't mine. Then my eyes fell on the picture on the bedside table. It was that of Lyra and Iris. That's right, I spent my rut with Iris last night. The sound of the door clicking clise made me turn my attention to the door and there she was with a tray in her hand and her cold look back on her face. “You're awake.” She mumbled while settling the tray on the coffee table surrounded by white sofas, matching the white aesthetic of the room. “I made breakfast, and we need to talk.” “Can I take a shower first?” I tilted my head to the side with a bright smile and she shrugged, gesturing towards the bathroom and I got up to take a bath. “Your clothes are in there.” She said. Walking out of the bathroom, she was seated on one of the sofas her legs crossed with an
GAVIN. MEETING “You're in a relationship with her?” Jerry slammed against the brakes suddenly, making the force of the car pull forward. “Stop acting like it's unexpected,” I replied calmly, staring out the window. It was going to be news to him and mother but I don't have to tell mother that it is a contract relationship. “She proposed the contract, so I had to agree. It's a chance to bring her back.” “Ooh.” He nodded with a sly smirk on his face as the car stopped again as it was approaching the Russell mansion. This was the last place I wanted to visit right now, but I had no choice. My father had summoned for my presence and it would be the perfect chance to tell them I have gotten a bride. “Are you sure you'll be okay? You haven't visited the family mansion since Logan was born. You rejected every request to see you and talk with you.” Jerry asked and all I did was lean my chin against my knuckles as I looked at the building before me. “It's always bad news whe
ENGAGEMENT IRIS. “So you're trying to tell me that you are engaged to Alpha Gavin?” My father scoffed as I sat before all the advisors. “Don't be ridiculous.”“He's my mate.” I pointed out and they all whispered, looking around. “I've been with him for five years now.” It wasn't technically wrong, we've known of each other's existence due to our kids since then. No one knew who the mother of his son was and no one but those in my family knew about Lyra. I've never told any of them who her father was because I ignored the question every time. “Does that mean he is your daughter's father and you've been having an affair with him before you announced your relationship to us?” The head of the advisors asked with a disgusted look. “I spent my rut with him and I had Lyra and Logan.” I said and they all gasped, including my mother who was seated. I haven't told her about him either so she would be surprised. “You are a…”“I don't care about the family rules and if you're not careful, I
FAMILY TIME. IRIS. “Now I feel like the left out one.” I let out a sigh as I got out of the car in front of the shopping mall the three asked to meet up. I was literally forced here against my schedule and I wasn't complaining but I can't start to imagine what they would put me through once I get married to him. “Mommy.” Lyra's squeal made me look up. She rushed into my arms with a bright smile on her and her eyes sparkling. Her hair was done in a way I would have never done it for her. Not like she would agree in the first place. “Who gave you pigtails?” I raised a brow. “Logan.” She giggled. “I love it.” “Is this favoritism I smell.” I grumbled. “Yes.” Gavin said, standing next to me with Logan who was already standing behind Lyra with his arms wrapped around her shoulders. “Hi, Lyra's mum.” He smiled and I nodded. “Mommy, is it true you're getting married to Logan's dad?” Lyra asked, tilting her head to a side. “Yes.” I replied and the duo squealed, rushing to my side to
THREAT. GAVIN. “What did you say?” I stood up, my fists slamming against the table from Jerry's report. “Come again?”“Your father asked you to pick up Miss Anderson from the airport.” Jerry said, making me sink back into my seat. What on earth was she doing here? Why was she coming to the engagement party after I specifically told father to keep the Anderson family out of this till I got married to Iris. “Arrange a meeting with the old man right now. I need to have a word with him.” I stood up, not waiting for his response before storming out of my office. Ciara was the last person I wanted to meet right after I've gotten Iris on my side. Iris isn't one who would fight for me now, she would stay out of it and almost kill me with just her stare. How could he even think about inviting her. She could sow a seed of anything that would destroy everything. After she left seven years ago, I finally felt peace since she never even bothered to say hi or anything. “Damn it.” I slammed my
A NEW SOMEONE.GAVIN. I stood in front of the airport, leaning against my car in discomfort as I waited for her to exit the building. I had to go out of my way to pick her up and now she's making me wait. My phone buzzed slightly, turning my attention to it and Iris' picture displayed on it. She was in her engagement dress and just looking at the picture, I wanted to devour her. “There you are.” An irritating and slightly pitched tone made me look up from my phone, stopping the reply I was about to give to Iris. “It's been how many years, Gavy boo?” She fluttered her eyelashes as she leaned forward, trying to close the space between us. The last thing I would expect as an alpha is to go pick someone who I'm not submissive to at the airport. “Get in.” I ordered and I could see the pout on her face at the hostility I was showing her. I knew it was all a facade and the last thing I wanted right now was drama. “Just because you're getting engaged doesn't change the fact that you're
ATTACK. GAVIN. I drove at high speed towards the said border and as soon as I got there, I could already smell the blood in the air. Getting out of the car, I rushed towards the border and my men were there, surrounded by countless dead bodies. Jerry was also there, his clothes were filled with blood and so what his fists. From the looks of things, I could tell they already dealt with everything that needed to be delt with before I arrived, but something wasn't sitting right with me and that was the fact that the number of enemies was a lot. “You're here.” Jerry said while ripping off his shirt and heading towards me while giving other orders. “Seems you took care of it.” I said and he nodded while looking in the direction of the bodies the men were rounding up. “Is something wrong?” “Yes, a lot of things seem to be wrong. Firstly, they seem to be much weaker than ordinary rogues even though they are rogues and two, they seem they aren't in their right state of mind.” He explai
A MYSTERY IRIS. Seeing Gavin here in front of me and his vulnerability made me aware that he might not actually be here to tease me and I just let him in anyway. “What is it?” I asked, handing him a glass of water and he chugged it down in a second. “Since you'll be my Luna, I might as well give you a headstart. Rogue attacks and other stress.”“Rogue attacks?” I tilted my head to the side, quite surprised. Silver Moon pack was known for their little to no rogue attacks and for an attack to take a toll on him, something must be wrong, or something else was originally wrong, which I wasn't interested in asking so he won't get the wrong ideas here. “Yes. It seems they are planning something and I don't think it'll be anything good at all.” He explained, his chin resting against his knuckles as he stared at me with a small smile which I just ignored. “I've gotten reports on rogue attacks in Salt Pack too but it's just a minor thing.” I said sitting opposite him. “Having them attack
