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
IRIS'S POVGENUINE INTIMACYHis words had penetrated into my heart and for a moment, I wondered if it was all a dream. If those things I said to him were real. It was real, I felt his lips touch everywhere in my body. And this time around, I didn't need to pretend like I didn't want him.It didn't feel like a dream, it was so real that I could hear him whisper some words into my ears as we were deep into the intimacy.“Dont stop!” I muttered out those words as he was right on top of me. He whispered back, he wasn't going to stop until I was tired of him and tonight I doubted if I was ever going to ask him to stop.The whole conversation we had downstairs had me smiling within. I had come to forgive myself, finally, to accept him and to accept that whatever we had in the past was a mistake he made and finally did all he could to gain my forgiveness.I moaned, he had hit a spot pretty hard. He stopped and looked at me with pity like I was some little virgin, having sex for the first tim
GAVIN'S POVWEDDING PLANS“How did you do it? Seriously, you need to share whatever you use to change her mind so drastically.” Jerry paused, pointing his fingers at me like I had committed a crime I should be guilty for.“You truly have a talisman, don't you?” he accused.I looked up from my phone and glared at him, “Quit your nonsense talk and call the wedding planners again.” I instructed.He checked his wristwatch, “They should be on their way by now, what's keeping them?”“That's for you to find out, Jerry. Go do your job instead of adding to my headaches.”“Quit being rude to me or else I will forfeit from being your groomsman on your wedding day.” He teased me.“I could easily find someone else, Jerry. Don't mess with me.”“You had better not try it.” he warned playfully before walking towards the door. Then I heard him greet someone politely, I looked up to see it was Iris.“Were you deliberately declining my calls?” I asked her as she walked into my office, Jerry winked at me
