IRIS'S POVHUBBY IN DANGER“You have a meeting with the pack officials today and a training session with your trainee…”I stopped walking and I turned back to Helen who was behind me. “Cancel everything. I want to go see the kids.”Helen furrowed her brows in confusion, “You rarely visit the kids, what's changed?” She asked. I ignored her for a few seconds as we walked towards the car.“I need to be with them the most.” I paused and got into the back seat. “Okay…That's strange.” Helen said and got into the driver's seat.“Its strange to you because you think I'm not a good mother to them.”“That's not it Iris, I was just…” I cut her off right there.“It's fine. I understand” I said calmly. I knew myself that I haven't been the best mother to Logan and lyra and I felt the need to be closer to them the more because back there when I was kidnapped, I thought for a moment that I would die right there and they would lose their mother.I couldn't imagine how life would be for them with just
IRIS'S POVGETTING GAVIN TO SAFETYMy heart had stopped beating for a moment, panic set in but I knew better than to show my emotions.“You're really not going to do anything?” Helen asked me, she was surprised or rather shocked that I was taking the news calmly.“Jerry is there with him, isn't he?”Helen scoffed, “They still need our help, Iris. The father of your kids is at the point of death as we speak, doesn't that bother you?” Helen snapped, her voice was a bit low and harsh, preventing the kids and Gavin's mother from hearing anything.I let my emotions gultify me as Helen spoke. I couldn't tell how I really felt but I had the urge in me to go save Gavin wherever he is.“Where are they?” I asked Helen.She didn't waste a second to tell me. “At a rural area around the pack.” She explained.I nodded my head, heading towards Gavin's mum and the twins. “We need to get going. I've got work to do.”“Mummy, when will you visit again, you and daddy?” Logan asked.I squatted before them
IRIS'S POVREVEALED SECRETSWe got to a nearby clinic in the area. “A clinic? Really Helen?” I complained. As we watched the building from inside the car.“We have no choice, he won't last long if we drive back to the pack.” Jerry said as he got down from the car.Jerry carefully carried Gavin in his arms, the nurses had brought out the gurney to place him on it. A clinic it is, there was no other choice.I stayed close to Gavin as the nurses rushed him to the emergency room. The doctor came along. “What happened to him?” He asked with urgency.“He was stabbed.” Jerry answeredStabbed? I was shocked to hear him say that. I stared at him, curious to know more. How was Gavin stabbed? What really happened? I couldn't help but ask myself these questions.Jerry avoided my gaze, he was being suspicious and I was going to get the real truth out of him no matter how much he tries to hide it.“Please you can't come in. Give us some time to check on him.” One of the nurse said as she closed the
JERRY'S POVLOYAL TO MY ALPHAWe arrived at Gavin's mansion, the trip was quiet. Helen and I had said nothing throughout the entire ride and I wonder if she doubted me. Ma'am Iris certainly doubted me, I knew that would happen even before I thought of lying to them.I had no bad intentions, lying to them was the only way I could save Gavin's secret and now I had a secret because I was trying to hide his own secret so badly.Back at the witch's cabin, we were defenceless against her powers. My wolf form couldn't do a thing, and Gavin was not an option to have fought against her, he had no wolf powers, he couldn't change into one. The only thing he had failed too, his human strength was no match for the witch.He could have died, the witch could have killed us if I didn't do it. If I had not made a deal with her in exchange for sparing our lives.“Hey, are you even listening to me?” Helen snapped at me. I raised my brows at her, confused. She had been saying something the whole time and
GAVIN'S POVDEAL OR NOT“I know when you tell a lie.” I said to Jerry, his eyes avoided my suspicious glare.“No you don't.”“Your hand is in your pocket, right now. It shows you're nervous.”Jerry stared at his hand in his pocket and removed it instantly. “Why would I lie to you? I told you what happened already. I managed to defeat…”“Keep quiet.” I shut Jerry up the moment I heard Iris and Helen's voice approaching through the hallway. They entered the room, glaring at Jerry and I suspiciously.“I need to get going, I have work to do tomorrow.” Iris informed me.I looked at Jerry. “Inform the doctor that I won't be staying here anymore. I don't like it here.”Jerry was about to object but I stopped him. “Do as I have said, Jerry unless you want to get fired.”“Yes sir.”Without another word, he left the room. “Why?” Iris simply asked. “I also have work to do, and I certainly can't be confined to this low quality bed. My back hurts already.” I explained.“Helen, call the nurses to c
IRIS'S POVWHAT'S THE TRUTHI volunteered to make breakfast so early in the morning, Gavin was not awake yet and the maids, I had asked them to find other things to do around the house.You might ask what has gotten over me that I made up my mind to cook. Though from the kind of family I grew up in, I didn't have enough time and opportunity to learn how to cook well.Nobody knew this except Helen. It was a secret I am trying to work on. As I flipped the pancakes inside the pan, I felt a presence in the kitchen with me. A very strong pheromone I had come across before.I turned around, and it was no one else but Gavin. “How long have you been standing there?” I asked him, the smirk on his lips gave his manly features away. It beckoned me but I tried as much as possible to resist.I was only here to help him recover, not have sex with him.“Too long to have seen you dance a little over there.” Gavin teased. I felt embarrassed, he had caught me doing my little moves. How dare him pry on
GAVIN'S POVLIESI just stared at her, I couldn't bring myself to tell her the truth. Not for any reason. If I did, she would leave me instantly, hate me forever and wouldn't mind marrying someone else because of who I truly am.An alpha who couldn't change into his wolf form, it was the most unchallengeable power an Alpha should have but I had none. Just my human strength, it wouldn't take me so far.“So, are you going to tell me or not?” she asked me, she sat close to me, waiting for an explanation."I'll tell you, but you can't tell anyone," I said to her."I won't," Iris promised, and I believed her."The real reason we were out there in that rural area was to look for Jerry's parents," I lied again. I couldn't bring myself to tell her the truth."Why do you keep hiding it from her, Gavin? Just tell her the truth. For all you know, she might leave you alone," my inner wolf, Gray, urged.I remained silent."Okay, so how did you get stabbed? And those burn marks?" Iris pressed."We
IRIS'S POVCAUGHTI had woken up so early to throw up. The alcohol from last night made me nauseous, my head throbbed. I shouldn't have drank so much, I was light headed, why didn't Gavin stop me?I puked into the sink again. Washing my mouth gently with some water.Just then I heard a phone ring in the bedroom, it didn't sound like mine, it was definitely Gavin's because he was still sleeping on my bed.We had sex, I was sure of it, my whole body aches like I had been beaten all through the night. The phone kept ringing but before I could open the door, I heard Gavin's husky voice, he had answered the call.“What's it Jerry?” He asked, annoyance evident in his tone. I looked at myself in the mirror, I looked tired and exhausted, my hair packed behind in a bun.“What else does she want from me?” He sighed wearily. “ I'll find a way to sort this mess out but I won't be coming to the office anytime soon.” Gavin said.I couldn't help but pay attention to his conversation with Jerry.
