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. Who
GAVIN'S POVMISSION: TRAP THE WITCHI had let Iris go, I couldn't tell her about my secret. I couldn't bring myself to do it. She asked for the truth and left the mansion angry.“Say something, or I'll leave this minute.” She had said earlier, she gave me options but I choose the latter. It was better than losing her forever.She would calm down sooner or later, she couldn't stay away from me forever, the kids would definitely notice and begin to ask questions and also she needed me in other for her to be crowned Luna of her pack.“Sir, breakfast is served.” the maid had come to inform me. There was no use having breakfast anymore. I had lost my appetite few hours ago but I stood here, drinking wine instead.“Sir!” The maid called out again, my thoughts were immediately distracted.“I'm not hungry, thank you.” I said to him as she bowed and left.What if I had tried to listen to Gray's advice? Would it have been better if Iris knew I really was now before we get married? If it happens
IRIS'S POVFINDING A NEW ALPHAI had hoped Gavin would come to my house and finally reveal the truth he’d been hiding. But he hadn’t called or texted, which was unusual for him.I didn’t expect much from him, just a straightforward explanation of what was really going on.If he’d lied before about searching for Jerry’s parents in the rural area, then what was the truth? What was he concealing from me?My thoughts were interrupted when Helen’s head poked into my room through the slightly ajar door.“Are you still doing makeup?” she teased, her eyes dancing with mischief.“I’m all done. Did the pack officials have any complaints?” I asked, spraying a mist of perfume on myself.Helen flopped onto my bed, her gaze fixed on me. “Yeah, they’re demanding a new female Alpha, one who won’t keep them waiting at meetings,” she quipped, a playful grin on her face.I raised an eyebrow at Helen’s playful jab. “Well, I suppose I better get my act together then. Can’t have them thinking I’m unreliabl
JERRY'S POVTHE WITCH'S REVISITHelen had called me over to her house. It was late and I was just done with helping Gavin do some things at his place. A plan to go home was cancelled by a call from Helen. What was the problem? I had asked her but she only told me it was important.“She had better not be joking around.” I muttered annoyingly as I reached her apartment and came down from the car.She wouldn't have called to have a second taste of me, would she? My pheromones were probably too strong for her to forget, she must want more of me, I thought.But then again, was I so dumb to think Helen was that kind of person? Yes I was. That could never be the reason she called for me.There was no need to knock, she always left the gates open. I entered and walked into the sitting room.“Great. You're finally here. Come have a seat, we need to talk.” She ushered me, a drink in her hand.“What is so important about this that you couldn't tell me on the phone?”“It's not a phone conversatio
GAVIN'S POVCHAOS AFTER CHAOS“Focus Gavin, focus.” I muttered to myself as I signed some files on my desk in my office. I should have gone to the company, instead of staying here in my study room.It only tempted me to go see Iris. And I knew if I did that, I should be ready to tell her all my secrets. Never, not now. It was certainly not the right time.Suddenly there was a knock on my door. “I told you I want no one here.” I vented out coldly to whoever the intruder was, and I was certain it was one of the maids.“It's Jerry.”“You are not an exception too, Jerry.” I teased. “I want no one here and that's final.”“It's important sir.” He pressed on.“Come in.” I ushered him in. The look on his face was something I'd rarely see everyday. He looked serious and afraid.“What's wrong Jerry?” I asked him, placing the files aside. I could deal with them later but now, I could tell there was something bigger than signing these files.“You have to tell Iris the truth about yourself.” Jerry
IRIS'S POVTRUST HIM, MARRY HIM“Did you pick these men yourself?” I asked, I was on a call with Helen. There was no response for awhile, I checked my screen to see if I was still on the call with her or she ended it.“Helen, are you still there?”“Yeah, I am right here.” She answered tiredly. She was far from being tired, she just wasn't in support of me marrying someone else.“I know you hate what I am doing right now but I really don't care Helen, you should know that by now.”“Of course, I know there's no one that can change your mind when you make crazy decisions like this.”“It's not a crazy decision. I'm doing this for the good of everyone.”“And how is choosing another man apart from Gavin a good decision, Iris?”“Not again, Helen. We've been past this.”“Fine.”She had tried to convince me before now, but nothing was changing my mind. And then again, I couldn't help but think of how stressed out and disappointed the kids would be if they knew that I wasn't getting married to
