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
A LITTLE SEDUCTIONGavin's POVI slumped back in my office chair, rubbing my tired eyes. Two days had passed since I got officially engaged to Iris, and what should have been a joyful time was instead marred by a series of unsettling events. All these pack attacks by omegas who seemed to be under some sort of mind control. They were acting like higher-ranking werewolves, but with a feral edge that made them almost unrecognizable.What even worried me more that It wasn't just my pack that had been hit - Iris's pack had been attacked at the same time. And then, to make matters worse, someone had tried to assassinate Iris the moment she arrived at her territory. My heart still raced at the memory of it. I had almost lost her before we even had a chance to start our life together.I sighed, running a hand through my hair. I was determined to get to the bottom of this, to find out who was behind these attacks and put a stop to it once and for all.As I sat there, my mind began to wander.
UNWANTED GUESTGavin's POV "That's it, little boy," I said, gently ruffling his hair. I wondered why my dad would try to involve a child in his schemes. I had warned him many times to stay away from anything involving Iris and me, but he won’t listen until I squeeze life out of him with my bare hands."Uncle Jerry said I could go toy shopping," Logan said, smiling widely, showing all his little teeth. "So I got something cute for Lyra.""That's sweet, Logan," I teased. "Lyra will be proud to have a thoughtful brother like you." I praised.Logan giggled softly."Come on, buddy, it's time to go," I said. I didn't want him to be seen around, especially during this critical time. I needed to keep him safe, or Iris would never forgive me."Bye, Daddy!" Logan exclaimed, running off with his little box. My dad would never seize to amaze me. Bringing our little boy into this was just out of it, I think he needs to be warned and I hope he doesn’t extend his hostility to my little Lyra. My
ALONE WITH GAVINCiara's POV I was so happy to finally be here with Gavin. It felt like I had ticked one of the boxes on my to-do list. I had wanted this for a while now. To be in his face every moment so he'll at least notice me and ditch that scumbag. But there’s a little problem, I'm not so happy. I know you would ask why because this is what I wanted badly but the reason is simple— the twins are here too. They are always around Gavin, talking to him and playing with him. I don't like it.Not to mention that Logan seized every opportunity he had to remind me of how bad I was and he was never going to accept me. That hurt but didn't matter so much. I wanted to be alone with Gavin, to have him all to myself, shove myself in his face until he falls for me, but the twins are always in the way. They are like a wall between us.Whenever I try to hold a conversation with Gavin. They interrupt us. I try to sit next to him, but they sit on either side of him. Arrggh!! I'm getting frust
THIN LINE BETWEEN MY BEAST AND I GAVIN’S POV I trudged into the bathroom, the fluorescent lights overhead flickering like my mood. I rubbed my tired eyes, the day's stress boldly still stamped on my face. I splashed water on my face, feeling the coolness calm my skin. It was a relief after a long, hot day. I felt some sort of calmness until I looked in the mirror, and I saw a worn-out man staring back. My eyes were red from looking at pictures of missing people, and my jaw was tight with frustration. I felt overwhelmed and helpless.For days, I've been racing from one attack scene to another. It seemed like no one was safe, especially Iris who was in their mouths. The people behind these attacks were ruthless and determined. I knew I had to stop them, but so far, I'd failed. That feeling of powerlessness made me feel even weaker.I stepped into the shower and let the warm water wash over me, feeling it soak into my skin as I closed my eyes and gently massaged my head. I hadn't had
FIGHTING THE INNER MEGavin's POV “Daddy, did you want to hurt her?” Lyra asked as I patted her back slowly trying to put her back to sleep. I was at a loss for words and didn’t know what to say. But I had to say something else: she will keep being scared.“Errmmm, no baby, I didn’t want to, I was just, you know… angry.” She wanted to say something else and I didn’t want that because she could ask one question after another until morning. “Don’t say anything else dear, just close your eyes and go to bed so I’ll get you ice cream by morning,” I bribed. She stayed quiet shitting her eyes and allowing sleep engulf her.After ensuring Lyra was safe and sound in her bed, I walked towards my room and stumbled on Ciara who was still cowering in the corner of the staircase. I knew I had to get her out of there, not just for my sake but for Lyra's as well. I couldn't let my daughter see her like this, and I definitely couldn't let Ciara's presence upset me further. I felt like smacking her
MY HISTORY Gavin's POV As I grew older, my condition became a whispered secret among the high officials of the pack. They knew about my unpredictable wolf, Gray, and how he could burst free at any moment. But despite the fear that radiated from those who encountered me, my father saw something in me that no one else did - potential.Before I turned 17, my father awarded me a high rank within the pack. It was a move that shocked everyone, including myself. I was just a child, still learning to control Gray, and yet I was given a position of power.But my father had a plan. He wanted me to look like a suitable alpha and so, he began to groom me, teaching me the ways of leadership and how to make decisions that would influence the pack.One incident that stands out in my mind was when a group of rogue wolves threatened to attack our pack. They were a fierce and savage bunch, and our pack was on high alert. My father called a meeting with the high officials to discuss what to do.I was
THE BEAST IN MEGAVIN’S POVSince that fateful day, my father has seized every opportunity to rub it in my face - that I'm a wild beast who almost took my mother's life. Who’s fault was it?His words cut deep each time, but I've learned to rein myself in, if only slightly. If he hadn't provoked me, Ciara and her father wouldn't have discovered my secret. Now, he's desperate to keep them silent, groveling to appease them. Her father has taken advantage of the situation to get almost everything he had wanted within the pack and more. Now, pushing for a forced marriage between Ciara and me for God knows why but deep down, I knew he had hidden agendas, my dad was just too blind to see. I can’t even imagine being with Ciara. The thought alone is unbearable and it made my stomach twist in irritation. My wolf eouldnt even let me if I wanted. Not when he has found his mate. Adding to the fact thatCiara is nothing like Iris, and I don’t think she will ever be. Tchh!What is Iris finds out
