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
DO YOU LOVE ME?IRIS. I sat in front of the mirror as the make-up artist did her job. It was finally the engagement day and people were a lot more excited than I am during these days. “Miss Green, please lift your face a little.” The makeup artist asked in a quiet timid voice and I just did as she asked me to. Scrolling through my phone, I could see the trending news was my engagement to Gavin. Maybe it really wasn't the best idea to make the union public as the families wanted it to be. I was going to divorce him in two years anyway. “Any news?” I asked June, my secretary, who just walked into the room. “Alpha Gavin should be here soon. He said he had something to deal with and left. Beta Jerry called, saying he's on his way back.” June said to me and I nodded. It wasn't the best week to have our engagement due to the things happening in the packs but we just had to go on with it. “Your flight for tomorrow has been arranged.” She whispered in my ears. “You won't be leaving toni
FATHER IN LAW Iris' POV He looked at me with a small smile, but it quickly turned serious. ‘Yes, Iris, I love you,' he said.” I know our past is complicated, but my feelings are real. Do you feel the same way?' He gazed into my eyes, searching for an answer. I tried to brush him off, hiding how his words made my heart skip a beat. 'Let's not talk about this now, there’s no time for chitchat,' I said. 'I need to get ready for our engagement . I'm not interested in romance and you know that,' I lied, trying to sound convincing.I slipped into the dressing room and started trying on the outfits set aside for me. With each new look, I admired myself in the large mirror. I couldn't help but smile - I looked amazing in every single one!My mind kept wandering back to my conversation with Gavin. If he truly loved me, why was he still paying attention to another woman who even knew my whereabouts and had the guts to even visit? I wondered if the lady who came earlier was right - was he re
LURKING ENEMY Iris' POV I stood there, feeling like I'd been punched in the gut, as Gavin's father walked away with a smug look on his face. His harsh words kept echoing in my mind, making my heart feel heavy and my thoughts a jumbled mess. What did he mean when he said I wasn't welcome? Did he really dislike me that much? And what was Gavin hiding? His father's words made me wonder if I was just a pawn in some game Gavin was playing. I tried to tell myself it didn't matter, that this was just a temporary arrangement, but the hurt and rejection I felt wouldn't go away. I felt like I'd been slapped in the face and couldn't shake off the sting. His father's dislike for me felt personal, and it hurt more than I expected.I have heard of Mr Williams of the Russel family several times but never have I ever heard that he was hostile. Or maybe I didn’t know it all like I thought. I paired what he said to what Ciara had said earlier and it made my stomach turn. The air in the building be
DANGER IN THE PACK Iris' POV Jane got shot.Helen ran out of the mansion and immediately sprang into action, her heart racing as she rushed to Jane's side. "Oh no, Jane! Oh God, no!" she exclaimed, scooping up her limp body in her arms. I spun around, scanning the area frantically for any sign of the shooter, but there was no time. Jane's eyes fluttered closed, and her head lolled back, a crimson stain spreading across her shoulder."Jane, stay with me!" I begged, my voice trembling as I rushed alongside Helen. "Don't close your eyes, stay awake!"Helen hastened towards the mansion, her breath coming in ragged gasps. "We need to get her inside, now!" she yelled, bursting through the doors.I followed close behind, my eyes darting wildly around the room. "Where's the first aid kit? We need to stop the bleeding!"Helen laid Jane on the couch, her hands shaking as she ripped open Jane's jacket. The wound was deep, and blood gushed out, soaking the fabric. Helen grabbed a nearby cloth a
