'I know who you are', Sean Anderson said. 'Princess Iris Sylvester Merryweather of the Moon Ville Pack'.I shouldn't be surprised but I was. I barely knew him but he seemed to know me and I wondered what else he knew or must have heard about me.'Who hasn't heard of the lovely Princess Iris, the most sought after and only daughter of the great Wolf King Sylvester Merryweather?' he added with a disarming smile.Oh! I thought. So, that was how. I took another sip of my orange juice and flipped my tongue accros my lips.'What else have you heard about me?' I asked, narrowing my eyes at him.'I don't listen to gossip', he said, looking serious.'Oh yeah?' I said, my tone showing my unbelief.'I carry out my own investigations and find out whatever I need to find out!' he explained, still looking very serious.I smiled inwardly. I liked what he said. But I wondered if this was his character or did he say this to try and impress me? 'Is this aimed at impressing me?' I asked aloud.'Is it
Alpha Andrew's POVI just do not understand what is happening. I have loved Iris as long as I can remember and have not allowed another she - wolf come close. At her parents marriage anniversary, I was pleasantly surprised at the attention she paid me. But for some male wolves who wanted her, - though I cannot sincerely say I blame them, Iris is a very beautiful and desirable Princess- I got all her attention and I could feel hope building up inside of me.But I was bothered. That guy, Lyndon, the Prince of whatever pack, I don't want to know. He really makes me feel nervous and uncomfortable. I don't like seeing him with Iris. It might be jealousy but I feel it is something more. And more surprising is that I fear to find out what that something more is. But I am very uncomfortable and scared. I do not scare easily and nothing has ever caused me, as a Prince nor an Alpha to be scared, even that time when Iris had saved me from a bunch of kids who didn't like my heritage. So, what w
I was not very composed when I walked back into the hall. I was still disconcerted. What was that all about? How can I be gay? This was really ridiculous, I am screamed again in my head.I looked up and saw Iris dancing with the stranger I had noticed her exchanging looks with since this party started and I was too upset by what happened to me to feel jealous.If I am attracted to Iris, a she - wolf, how then, can I be gay? I asked myself to yet again. Can one be gay without having an inkling? I signalled one of the Omegas serving the party and he came bearing a tray of drinks. I took a cup without caring what kind of drink was in it and downed it in one swallow. The hot liquid shot through me. I needed it to bring me back to reality. I took another cup. This must be some sort of trick. Did Lyndon come with some spell of some sort? That must be it, I thought, feeling relieved. A witch must have given him a portion or a spell to use on me and that is why I responded to him that way. B
Iris' POV I could not believe my eyes at first but I immediately got over my shock. It had been so long since I had seen him. He looked leaner but more mature and still as handsome as ever.I looked at his companion, she was a lovely woman with brown hair and eyes and she held on to Adrian possessively as though she feared that if she let go off his hand, he would vanish from her sight. She was probably wise, given what I knew about Adrian, it was very likely.There was something strange about him however. I turned to share my observation with Andrew who I knew had been as shocked as I was to see Adrian at my parents' anniversary. But before I could say a word, he asked me with genuine concern, 'Are you okay?' I knew the reason for his concern. He knew how fiercely I had loved his elder brother and all I had put up with, while married to Adrian, in the hope that he would come to reciprocate, and how devastated I had been when I lost my pups.I smiled brightly, to reassure him. 'Neve
Sean's POV I had wanted to continue to ignore Iris, after I made sure she saw me because as soon as I saw her, I knew she was my mate and I desired her greatly. But I had also heard that she was an ice queen and I didn't want her to take my feelings for granted. I tried to pretend that I didn't know she existed after our eyes met but I could not stop the way my body was being drawn towards her. I left my cousin, Eileen who had been keeping me company while I stole glances at Iris. A young man she herself had been eyeing all evening asked her for a dance, and this gave me the needed opportunity and excuse to walk up to Iris asking for a dance as well.As I walked up to her, I saw her carelessly pick a glass of drink from the tray one of the servers was carrying and drank the contents of the glass in one gulp. She must be a great drinker, I thought in amusement but as she coughed, tears stinging her eyes, I knew something must have upset her and she was trying to forget it by indulging
As we danced, I found myself pulling her close to me. The feeling that she might have been jealous of my relationship with Eileen made me happier than I cared to admit and hope flared in my heart.As our bodies moved in tune to the music, I felt excited. I wanted Iris terribly. My body was reacting violently to our proximity. My wolf, Sly, was trying to break loose. I kept restraining him with a supreme effort.I was losing the battle and knew I was going to kiss her and damn the consequences, when I saw her eyes following someone. All at once I was jealous of the person that had suddenly claimed her attention and as I followed the direction her eyes were focused on, I saw that it was her companion for the evening. The young Alpha Andrew and I bit my inner lip in indignation. Why did he have to come in now? Iris may have said, they were very good friends but I had seen the way Andrew looked at her. There was nothing platonic about it at all. I was even surprised that he had left her
Adrian's POV As soon as we got to the venue of the party, I started to feel that the place was familiar. I tried to think what made the place familiar. Had I been there before or Did anything memorable happen there? But all I could come up with was a blank.We entered the banqueting hall and the feeling of familiarity increased. I couldn't stop myself from looking around, trying to see if there was something that would help explain why I felt familiar with the place.That was when I saw her....Her lovely grey eyes a d fair hair... her beautiful face. I knew I had sed. that face somewhere. It was almost as though I had been dreaming about the face my whole life. I looked at the man with her. Was he her husband or brother? He was handsome and I felt somewhat jealous without knowing the reason for it except that they both looked close and happy. But strangely, I felt like I knew the man as well.Miranda must have felt my interest for she followed my eyes and saw the people I was stari
Sean's POV I had to agree with Sly. How could I just give up on my mate when we had not even started. I had to fight for her. I went straight from there into the garden but they were not there. My heart started thumping. Where could that asshole Andrew had taken her? And Iris, why would she allow herself to be taken anywhere secret by anyone when I was her mate? Then I got a whiff of her scent, so intoxicating. I shut my eyes and could feel my need for her grow. 'This will not do at all!' I cautioned myself. 'Snap out of it! How can you keep acting like a depraved and sexually starved teenager around her? Get a hold!'I opened my eyes and sniffed, following her scent to a secluded place where not only she and Andrew were, but another couple as well.'Thank goodness!' I breathed, smiling. I thought I had lost her even before I had a chance to be with her. She was not the only beautiful she wolf in this pack or other packs but she was my mate and that made her special and her persona
Third Person POV While Iris was enjoying her marriage, Adrian was busy conquering packs and getting the title: The Conqueror' He built his own pack and was one of the most feared Alpha. He had left Moonlight and Moon Ville packs and had wandered away, the only thing that kept him going in his darkest moments was the vow he made to Iris. 'I shall make myself worthy' of you and your affections!'He was well sought after by the ladies but he was also known as the Cold Alpha Conqueror who didn't like women. There were speculations that he might be gay but no one had been able to prove or confirm the speculations. No one knew his past or what drove him. He alone lived with his demons.'Robert!' he called his Beta.'Yes, my Alpha?' Robert answered.'What is the news about the Luna of Golden Moon Pack?' he asked. He had always kept tabs on Iris. He was happy that. she was enjoying her marriage. Thank goodness there was someone finally giving her what he had been too stupid, cowardly and c
Disappoint me? I thought and nearly laughed. This was the best lay I had ever had. This was how it was supposed to have been with Adrian and me but he spoilt it. I didn't know, copulation could be as exquisite as this. I didn't regret giving in to him at all.'No', I said, coolly, ' you didn't disappoint me', I said shyly with a smile.'That's good to hear', he smiled back at me. 'Hope it was all you imagined it would be?''You are getting smug', I said, pouting. Men! I thought. They enjoy praise and appreciation'I already said, you did not disappoint me. Do you want me to cry my satisfaction in the rooftops?' I asked, with mock seriousness 'Was my response not enough to show you how well you performed?'Sean looked at me in shock and started laughing. I joined in. He had a sense of humour, that was very good. We stopped laughing and looked at each other....He kissed me afresh and I felt the stirring of desire again. Was this possible? Had I been so starved that I no longer have a
'My notes are just a reflection of what I feel', he said. 'I poured out my heart and soul to you in those notes. How can they be lies?' he asked.'And yet, you are leaving me here, without as much as a kiss', I said, looking him straight in the eye. 'I have always believed that action Speaks louder than words!'He had been about to turn away when my words stopped him, he swirled round again and stared at me in disbelief and then, the words must have sunk in, because he rushed to my side again, drew me roughly into his arms and started kissing me passionately.'Hmmmmh', I moaned as I responded to his kisses just as passionately.He carried me withyblegs wrapped round his waist. Still kissing he kicked open the door to our room and kicked it shut again, depositing me on the bed. I hadn't been aware of any movement to our room until he kicked the door open. I had been carried away by the sweetness of our kiss.As my body hit the bed, ever so gently, my eyes opened and as I saw him hoveri
I woke with a splitting headache the next day. I wondered why my mouth tasted numb and then the event of the previous day started flashing through my mind. What had I done? I wondered. I had virtually begged him to take me! I couldn't belief I could lose control like that. Had my previous experience not taught me anything?'Stop using your experience with Adrian as an excuse for not wanting to get close to Sean', my wolf, Ivy admonished. 'You know they are two different people. You are twins with Ares and yet the both of you have different personalities and so does Devin and Kevin', she said, and I perceived the disapproval in her tone. 'You are just a coward. You don't want to give in to your feelings and explore. Do you think you are living?' she asked. ' You are just existing.ive your life to the full. Take chances. Life itself is a risk. If you don't risk it, how will you know if you would enjoy being married to him or not? You are denying yourself love. Accept his love and try an
I received orange flowers the next day. I had kept our of his way all through the day after that episode in his bathroom. I needed to get my emotions in control.'I desire you greatly', the note that came with the orange roses read. 'I find it exceedingly hard controlling myself around you. You are the only one that makes me lose my cool. It is scary but exciting as well!'During our meal, I could not help but steal glances at him. Had he planned the event yesterday? I wondered. But how could he? He couldn't have known I was going to come into the bathroom without notice and he had been as shocked as I was when I saw him. But the note was really apt and it fuelled the desire that had been awakened yesterday. But to ensure that I did not betray myself again, I made myself scarce as soon as the meal was over.The next day was a bouquet of burgundy coloured roses and the accompanying note left me speechless. Sean had really leant the act of seduction very well. It was subtle but very eff
Iris' POV I didn't know Sean was such an incurable romantic. I started realizing that fact when he started sending me flowers. He'd sent me flowers before when we were not married but this time it was different. I call this one a subtle seduction with roses of different colours.The first day, I received blue roses from my dear contract husband, to with a note, reading, 'You are a unique being. So refined that it makes me want to be a better person from my crude self, just for you'. It was signed: Sean A.I was touched. I thought of Sean and could not think of any crudeness in him but it was good to know that he thought that I refine him. When I saw him, I told him what I thought. 'You are unique as well'.The second bouquet of roses I received was the next day and the colour was purple, the colour of royalty. The note caused me to tear up. 'You were royal before I met you and your royalty has rubbed off on me. You are my princess, my queen, my Luna and no one can take your position
The fifth day, she was smiling broadly because she just received a bouquet of orange flowers, signifying my desire for her. It was almost as though it was planned, especially after what happened in the room the previous day.During the meal after that, she didn't say anything, just kept stealing glances at me. Why won't you say something? I wondered.The burgundy coloured roses she received next day caused her to remain speechless. She dressed up beautifully for our meal, later that day. Was she giving me the green flag or the red? I thought, narrowing my eyes on her. After the meal, she looked me straight in the eye.'Is that what you really think of me?' she asked.'Yes', I replied without hesitation. 'You are beautiful but what makes you more alluring is that you seem unaware of your beauty or the effect you have on men, especially me and I cannot deny I have great passion for you'.She nodded and walked ahead of me into the room.'I want to take you out tonight', I said as I follo
Sean's POV I decided to win her love. I was going to present her with flowers everyday. That day, I visited a florist and asked him to deliver to my address each day, a bouquet of flowers. They were of different kinds, Carnations, Lilies, roses and the rest. I chose the colour of flower to be sent for each day in a week and the last day of each week, the bouquet would contain all exotic flowers, or the different colours of roses. I wrote notes to be put inside the flowers that would be delivered each day.The first day, Iris got the blue roses I sent. I watched her answer the door bell and read the note inside the bouquet. She smiled. I felt light headed that she was happy. I had made the right decision. I tiptoed back into our room and a Ted as though I hadn't been watching her.'Thank you for the roses and note. I appreciate it. I'll have you know you are unique as well'.I opened my mouth in shock. She just paid me a compliment. 'I'm glad you like them', I said, smiling at her.
Iris' POV When my father offered his island to you for our honeymoon, I was sure Sean would not accept. He would want to take his bride to his pack. He was an Alpha after all and had a duty to his pack. I was shocked and pleasantly surprised when he accepted. I had wanted to go to the island. I wasn't sure I was ready to start my Luna duties for now. I recalled how the seer had ended the wedding ceremony, 'I now pronounce you Alpha and Luna of the Golden Moon Pack!' before asking us to kiss.In his shorts and cowboy hat and sunshades, I could see how handsome Sean looked. I knew he was handsome but I hadn't really looked at him till now. He was hot and I blushed as I stole glances at him, looking at his full lips and how it had felt when we had kissed at our wedding. I had wanted to show my family that I was happy with the marriage but the kiss had stirred me deeply, more than I cared to admit. He took off his sunshades and wiped his eyes with his hands, hanging the sunshades on his
