Chapter 28

Iris

We had walked away a long distance from Hegar's house when he halted his steps with his arms behind him.

"Rule number one," He spoke in a surly tone. "Don't go anywhere without my knowledge. I know that we haven't done the mating rites because we aren't going to do it, but have it at the back of your mind that you are still under my protection." He dished out.

A very rude reply danced at the tip of my tongue, but I swallowed it, letting off a sigh. "I'm sorry for not telling you. You left abruptly and I wanted to know how Hegar was faring. He helped you to protect me, don't you think it's proper for me to show my appreciation to him?"

He grunted and fixed a stare, reeking of undeniable jealousy.

"No, it's improper. Hegar works for me and he won't appreciate what you did because he was trained to give his life for me. It's not like I don't appreciate it, but you should know your place." He stated with a very stern voice that caused my eyes to sting with tears.

    Chapter 29 Gradel Without warning, her small lips closed around my painfully stimulated phallus, with my body jerking in pleasure. A loud hiss jumped out of my mouth as I thrust my hips forward. I gripped the bedsheets tightly while her mouth sent me to another realm where nothing but pleasure existed. My breaths came out erratically and my vision was blurry. Her teeth grazed my skin and her tongue did a twirl on my sensitive tip. She removed her mouth, her lips quite swollen and red with saliva dripping from both sides and then she fixed her eyes on mine. "I'm sorry, I might be doing it wrongly because I've never done it before," She croaked nervously and I nodded. "Well, it's good that no man has ever felt your lips on them because I will tear them apart. You belong to me and me alone. Do you get it?" My wolf growled, overshadowing my desire to be rational. I couldn't deny that I enjoyed what she did, but my wolf loved it more. Ever since we became mates, he had been pining

    Chapter 30IrisI held my heart in my hands, reliving his promise to get me some new clothes. My excitement might have taken him by surprise but I was the only one who understood why I went overboard."Are you ready?" He asked, placing his hairbrush on the dresser."Yes," I beamed at him, straightening the collar of the oversized shirt he'd given me.In his words, he said that he wouldn't watch me wear a piece of rag out of his room no matter what. So he quickly produced a white shirt with an extra large size and a pair of shorts then asked me to wear it.The size didn't matter, what I cared about was the motive.As soon as we stepped out of the room, he stretched his hand and nudged me to take it. My eyes almost popped out of their sockets and I was forced to ask him if he was sure of his actions."Don't overthink it, we are acting remember?" He intruded on my thoughts while I flashed a fake smile at him.Trust him to spoil the moment."How will I forget?" I replied sarcastically, sq

    Chapter 31IrisA light tap on my shoulder jolted me back to reality and I spun around to find Gradel peering down at me with a questioning gaze."What's the matter? You seemed quite lost. Did anyone try to harass you?" He inquired, passing a cursory glance around the hall.I should have told him what I discovered, but when I glanced at the spot where I'd found the man, it was empty. Subconsciously, I rubbed my eyes to be sure that it wasn't a dream but he was gone with the wind.Gradel would certainly feel hurt if I told him that I'd found his bracelet and there was no way to ascertain that it belonged to him."I'm good," Relief coursed through me as my reply came out strongly.If he sensed my unease, he'd probably try to dig into the matter."Alright, then. Are you ready to check out the jewelry?" He asked softly, his tone filled with concern."Never been more ready." I tried to sound eager, entwining our arms while he led me to the jewelry section.My eyes nearly popped out of thei

Then I got up only to find Gradel's side empty with the rumpled bedsheet as proof that he'd left without caring about how I fared.Last night had been an eye-opener, putting it mildly, it served as a reminder that his father would never accept me, and so would Gradel. Once again, my reality slapped hard me in the face. I was alone. I shoved the depressing discovery aside and freshened up, eager to start my day. Then I left the room and turned to the guard who was continually by the door. He bowed immediately he got a whiff of my presence. "Greetings, my lady." He said plainly. I muttered a response and folded my arms. "Where can I find the prince?"His expression cracked and lines of nervousness slipped through. "I don't know where he is." He force

It was becoming difficult to avoid her when she was everywhere, her scent seemed to linger around me even when I was far away from her.Now she wanted me to train her. Why couldn't she understand that I was avoiding the proximity that would lead me to catching some stupid feelings and in turn make my annoying father feel important? Unfortunately, I still agreed to train her, a typical example of digging your grave. Though my wolf was happy with the development, especially when she convinced me to teach her some fighting skills, I didn't feel the same."The prince is here," The excited screams of the little children disrupted my thoughts as I rubbed my forehead in frustration.Before I could get a grip on what was going on, they had already gathered me, the toddlers raising their hands so I could lift them.I cocked my head to the side, pondering on how to escape them when I caught the sight of their parents sta

The sleep I'd earlier enjoyed cleared from my eyes as I stretched and glanced at the window.It was still dark but the day was close to breaking and I wondered why Gradel left the bed so early.I took it as a reminder that he didn't want to be with me and I was trying my best not to care. Knowing that I wouldn't be able to go back to sleep, I headed to the bathroom and washed my face.The training session would begin this morning and if I guessed correctly, Gradel would be at the training ground waiting for me.After relieving myself in the toilet, I selected a two-piece set that would offer me some flexibility while throwing kicks and punches. A giggle erupted from my chest while imagined myself throwing a punch.Satisfied with my outfit, I raced through the hallway and ended up at the training ground, pumped and excited."Good morning, teacher," I greeted enthusiastically, gri

I really hoped that I wasn't underdressed as I'd subconsciously become more aware of my looks. After what the Alpha told me that night, I didn't want to look like a total flop just because I came from a humble background.My lips widened with a satisfactory smile when I gazed at my reflection in the wall mirror. Today, I decided to be different, styling my red hair into a messy bun with some curly strands falling to the sides of my face. Enveloped with confidence, I smeared my lips with a lip gloss that erased the chapped state of my lips. Everything was set aside from my footwear and then the door swiveled open.His familiar woody scent hit me but I refused to spare a glance at him as I contemplated on what reaction would be the best to a man who had been away from his mate all day.His nonchalance was eatin

The warmness that their house exuded made me want to stay back, but then I couldn't run away from my responsibility, and neither could I disown my father even if I wanted to."Hmm?" Iris replied like she had been caught unaware and then she tilted her head to the side, her face a mask of confusion. "Why are you thanking me?" She asked innocently."I've been thinking a lot and I realized that my life has been moving in circles. It seems like I've made some progress, but deep down I'm a complete mess," I admitted.Her hand came upon my back and then she turned around to face me so we could stop walking."I don't think your life is a mess, though I can agree that it used to be when you arrested me for stealing your bracelet."

I shouted, standing before the edge of the baluster.Gradel and I had planned a family reunion and I couldn't wait for everyone we considered family to start trooping in. Devin had gotten a mate about three months back and I kept wondering how he got her pregnant in less than two months. I'd so tease him about it once he comes around. Hazel and Hegar had been on sabbatical leave for a while so I had to plead with Hegar to release her since I was nearing at the time of delivery. I was both excited and filled with panic and I honestly couldn't understand how I managed both extreme emotions. Gradel kept reassuring me that I wouldn't encounter any issues, but after hearing stories of women who faced several complications, his words would just fall on deaf ears."Watch it, princess," A firm grip stopped me from tripping over when I swirled around without looking.I smiled and fiddled with his stubble.

    Chapter 106IrisONE MONTH LATERThe sky was quite gloomy, the dark clouds threatening to turn the day into a rainy one. We should have stayed back in the house and cuddled all day, but there was something important to be done, and that was visiting the late Alpha Cronus's grave.I stood beside Gradel, whose shoulders were squared, taut, showing how uneasy it was for him to be present here. If it was possible, I'd have suggested that we return home and come back when he was more comfortable, but he was as stubborn as a mule so I let him. We stood in silence for a while and then he cleared his throat. I touched his shoulder lightly and some of the tension dissipated. "I guess I'll have to leave you alone with him. Call on me when you're done," I informed him and turned around to leave. But he grabbed my wrist swiftly and tenderly, prohibiting me from taking any other step. With a low tone, he said. "Stay with me. I want you to be here with me while I reconcile with my father," He s

    Chapter 105HazelMy heart throbbed in pain as I hugged my pillow tightly, genuinely wishing that it could be exchanged with the competent arms of Hegar. I was beginning to get offended. Why hadn't he checked on me, yet? What could have kept him so busy that he didn't bother to ask after me to know if I was doing well or not? Iris kept assuring me that he still loved me and he'd come for me soon, but was it too early to lose hope?A knock sounded on the door, jolting me from my reverie and an irritated sigh exited my lips. Hunger pangs gnawed in my stomach and the last thing I wanted was for anyone to drag me out of the room unnecessarily.Sluggishly, I twisted the doorknob and pushed the door open and immediately, I froze. My breathing paused for a moment and I could tell that the world had stopped rotating.Hegar stood before gracefully me, smelling like an edible flower. His lips spread into a wide grin and he splayed his arms, urging me to come closer to him. Several emotions ra

    Chapter 104 Gradel Inhaling the floral fragrance of my mate and enjoying the warmth of being in her arms was very tempting, but until I took my pound of flesh and ensured that the monster Elda wouldn't be a threat to anyone in the pack again, I wouldn't be at rest. Gently, I slithered from her embrace, feeling cold almost immediately and then I pushed the covers over her body and gazed lovingly at her beautiful lips that were pouted as if she was aware of my plans to be absent for a while. My heart skipped a beat when she stirred and calmed when she turned to the other side. I giggled lightly and put on a black vest and a pair of black sweatpants. After ascertaining that she was still deep asleep, I crept out of the room and shut the door quietly behind me, veering toward the same pack cell he had locked me in. He grinned cynically the moment I stepped in though I could see the faint marks of the strokes he had received from Hegar. After the fiasco last night, I'd asked the sent

"Sure, but we have to do some trade by barter kind of business before that. First, you'll let me out of here without unharmed. Secondly, I stink and I can't walk around, oozing animal blood so your dear mate will have to clean me up,""That isn't going to happen," Gradel disagreed in the shadows.He laughed briefly and glanced at the man behind me. "Alright then. Watch her die,""Wait—"My claws had already stretched out and before Gradel could complete his statement, I'd dug them into his skin. The knife fell off his hands and I quic

"That's a huge accusation to lay on me tonight, Elda. We are supposed to be celebrating," I replied with a surprisingly calm tone.That was a good thing because I planned to deny every claim he'd lay against me until I found a way to reach Eliana."I thought the same until I removed the mask from that girl's face and realized that you weren't the one who seduced me. So what did you promise her? That she and her family will be safe? Come on, Iris, what power do you have without me?" He asked with a derisive tone.A deep feeling of dread stirred in my stomach, my knees weakening. No matter what happened, I couldn't allow her family to be caught up in this plan."You can't hurt her family, Elda. What fun do you have in hurting innocent people?" I asked through gritted teeth.He chuckled lightly

She gasped, wondering how she messed it up just at the point of achieving her goal and a tear slid down her cheek because she knew she wouldn't be getting out of this alive.Elda burst into a heavy peal of laughter that was filled with intense mockery and threw her effortlessly over him. Then he rose, zipping his slacks and turning on the light."You aren't Iris, are you?" He asked but she didn't respond.Enraged, he crossed over to her and yanked the mask off her face, her hair falling out of the messy bun she packed it in. A deep scowl formed on Elda's face and he clenched his jaw, balling his fingers into a tight fist."Eliana, you're that girl I banged a few weeks ago, right?" He barked."I wish I was fast enough in killing you," She retorted spitefully. "At

The door was pushed open and the light from the hallway shone into the room, showing Elda's drunk figure. The feast wasn't in full session yet and he had already filled his system with alcohol. It would make things easier for her, she thought. Elda squinted his eyes and his lips stretched into a cynical smirk when he caught the sight of a seductively dressed woman whom he thought to be Iris lying on the bed. "Hey, woman.
