Iris' POV It was really surprising how things turned out. I still believe that Adrian had lost his memory but it was obvious he wasn't faking it. Well, it was no business of mine.'Iris, I am happy you had a great time at the party yesterday', my mum, Luna Millicent said, smiling affectionately at me. 'I am relieved that you have started living again. What is the name of that young man you were with again?' she asked.'Mum, you have started', I said, hedging. 'I was with alot of young men! I don't know the one you are particular about!''If you didn't know the person I am referring to, why are you blushing?'' she asked, raising an eyebrow, playfully at me.'I am blushing because this discussion is ridiculous, Mum!' I said, seriously. 'Speaking and dancing with anyone does not necessarily mean I have accepted to date them or worse marry them!''Your daughter is right, she was with a number of young men yesterday and I even noticed someone with her that I thought I'd never see again!'
Alpha Andrew's POV I was delighted when Adrian asked about our mother. It could only mean one thing - that he had regained his memory. I was happy about such a welcome development. I had expected the road to his recovery, a long and dreary one but thank goodness it was quick.I recalled the fury that had filled my heart as he asked about Iris. I was hoping memory or not, he would not want to be with her that I might have a bit of a chance but he must still be interested in her for out of all the questions, 'What is my relationship with Iris?' was what he could ask. I suppose it was a fairly reasonable question, I admit to myself now especially for someone who wanted to find out things about himself but at that time I had been blinded by jealousy. The jealousy I had felt since Iris chose him instead of me and feeling history about to repeat itself, I had wanted to stop him coming between Iris and me even if meant getting physical with him.You stay away from her, do you understand?'
The feeling that Adrian still wanted to try to get back with Iris kept nudging at me. My mind kept trailing off and I had to to keep saying, ' Sorry, what did you say?'I wondered why Adrian was the only person I felt might actually succeed in winning Iris' love. Yes, apart from maybe Sean....Then unbidden again, the scene at the garden with Lyndon flashed through my mind. 'Oh God!' I exclaimed in my mind. 'What is happening to me?' How can I want a fellow man? Here I was trying desperately to dissuade Adrian from pursuing Iris, so that I could have a chance with her because I had felt a slight change in her at the party and knew she was ready for another relationship. But I was at the same time, fantasizing about a man, wanting to get him naked and kiss him silly! This was insanity.Miranda excised herself to go to the restroom. Thank goodness, the way she had been holding on to Adrian was becoming irritating. I nearly told her my brother was not going to evaporate into thin air b
After the cold shower that did little to calm my excited body, I dressed up to go visit Iris. I knew it was just yesterday that the party was held and she might need to rest a bit but I needed something to distract me and though I had thought that I didn't know who to choose, I'd prefer it be Iris. I had left ved her ally life. The passion I felt for Lyndon shouldn't start to cloud my judgement. The excitement of something new, experimenting... finding out things about myself I had not been aware of was ecstatic but I was not sure it would last.I got to the Moon Ville Pack and just as I was about to make my entrance into the mansion, I saw Sean holding Iris' hand and looking deep into her eyes.'What the heck?' was my first sentiment as I saw them. He was with her yesterday and he is here already today? This was more serious than I had thought and Sean was more clever than I had given him credit. Damn! The purpose of my visit here today was defeated. I didn't feel the need to barge i
'What's so funny?' I asked, hiding my embarrassment with anger.'Nothing', he said as he fell into step with me and we started walking side by side. 'just that you look so cute and adorable when you are embarrassed or angry', he said, smiling at me and nipping my cheek, affectionately. I looked up into his eyes and what I saw there caused me to catch my breath.I pulled away from him. 'Sorry', I said, in confusion. 'I think I better get going to the Moonlight Pack, duty calls!''Would you have been so fast as to go back to your pack if Iris had wanted you to stay with her very badly or if there was any chance that she would kiss you?' he asked, looking pained.'I... I...', I stammered. 'You don't know what you are saying!''Don't I?' he asked. 'It's okay. Go back to your damn pack and continue living in denial and lying to yourself that Iris would one day look at you as a lover would!' He started walking away and I turned to walk away as well. He turned again as did I.'At least, let
Lyndon's POV I was attracted to Iris, that's true but the feeling I have for her cannot compare to the pull of the mate bond I have for Andrew. Andrew loves Iris and I love him. Since I was attracted to her as well, I felt I wouldn't mind a threesome if Iris would agree to it. But I doubted she would. At her parents marriage anniversary, I had wanted Andrew to grow jealous of the attention I paid her. I wanted to find out of he felt the mate bond I felt as soon as I laid eyes on him but he seemed to have eyes only for Iris and I had to take matters into my hands and lured him out where I kissed him. I knew then that he felt it but he was not going to own up to it. I was prepared to be patient and if getting Iris to join in our bond since both he and I were not indifferent to her, was going to make him mine, I was willing to share. Andrew thinks that it was at the anniversary that we met but it really wasn't. I had met him almost a year previously and at the time I hadn't known
'What's so funny?' he asked in a sudden burst of anger. 'Nothing', I said as I fell into step with him. 'just that you look so cute and adorable when you are embarrassed or angry', I said, with a smile, meaning it because it was true. I could not help myself as I raised my hand to his face and started nipping his cheek, affectionately. He looked up and when our eyes met, he gasped and pulled away from me. 'Sorry', he said, in confusion. 'I think I better get going to the Moonlight Pack, duty calls!' 'Would you have been so fast as to go back to your pack if Iris had wanted you to stay with her very badly or if there was any chance that she would kiss you?' I asked, very hurt by his treatment of me. 'I... I...', he stammered. 'You don't know what you are saying!' 'Don't I?' I asked. 'It's okay. Go back to your damn pack and continue living in denial and lying to yourself that Iris would one day look at you as a lover would!' I started walking away, I was not going to forc
I could not believe how fast the tide had changed . It was as though we were back right where we started. I just had the best lay of my life and my mate is thinking of a other? It was painful beyond words.'Do I really not mean anything to you?' I asked.'Lyndon, you do. But I just can't explain it. It has always been Iris since when I was little. It has nothing to do with how I feel about you' he said, pleading with his eyes for my understanding.I scoffed, what was there to understand? 'It means then that you just took advantage of me. You used me to satisfy your curiosity and now you are going to leave me for a princess you feel is better than I?' My heart was tearing apart. I had hoped this was going to mark a blissful turning point in our relationship but apparently, I was wrong. It hurt so much now that I had had a taste of paradise with him than it had when we had not mated. It had been a fusion of souls for goodness sake, hadn't he felt it?'So, what is your plan?' I asked, tr
Iris' POV Having my brother's back was fun. They made me forget all that was bothering me.When they heard from our mother, Luna Millicent that there was someone who was claiming my attention these days, they started teasing and playfully taunting me with it. 'When are we going to see this epitome of male virility that has captured our sister's heart?' Devin my eldest teased.'It is not the way mum presented it', I protested. 'I am just giving it a try. It isn't as though he swept me off my feet!' 'That you have decided to give him a chance is enough for us to know he must be special', Kevin said.'Anyways, we shall be going out on a date next tomorrow, so he should be here to pick me and then you can get acquainted'. I replied, not sure now if I had made the right decision by accepting to go out on a date with Sean. It was not the first but what I had just found out about Andrew was making me sceptical about allowing another man get close to me. If Andrew who I trusted, could keep
Andrew's POV I feel so sated and happy. Being with Lyndon has really relieved me off the heartbreak I had felt after seeing Iris with Sean. It would seem that Lyndon was actually my mate. I just seem to loose control where he isAt lunch, Adrian's behaviour was strange. What was it now? I think. It couldn't be that he saw me with Lyndon again... Oh goodness! That must be it. I recalled when Lyndon had thought he heard a door closing. Could it be that it had actually been shut by Adrian who saw us like he did the previous time.Lyndon and I had better be very careful. I thought. How could we keep losing control so much so that we forgot to lock the door? What if we are exposed?'Are you scared of being seen with our mate?' Andy asked. The wolf pesters me alot.'No!' I retorted.'So what is it then?' he asked. I recalled what Lyndon himself had asked me after our session together. 'What happens how?'I knew what he was asking. He wanted to know if I was going to acknowledge our mate b
Iris' POV As I went back to the Moon Ville Pack, I couldn't help thinking about the events of the day. It had started off to relatively well but in my opinion, it ended a disaster.First was Lyndon visiting to ask me what my feelings for Andrew was and I was happy that he had got over his jealousy and they were now friends....Sean on the other hand want things to progress between us to the next level. I had wanted that too but had thought of Andrew who had the right to me for his faithfulness all these years, only to go to him and find out that he had all the while been gay and had not really been faithful at all. But if he was gay, what did he want with me? Had his devotion all these years been a farce, just a way to cover his tracks do that his secret is secured? Had he been playing with my feelings all this while?Humph! I would have thought that he meant it. He is really a great actor. To think that I had wanted to give up Sean to be with Andrew! How stupid I am. I really have t
Adrian had seen Andrew run in very agitated and had contemplated within himself if he should go and find out what the problem was and comfort him if need be. He was sure it had to do with Iris. He decided against it. 'He is not a baby any longer', he told himself. 'He might be my younger brother but he is a grown man who can tackle his own problems. Moreover, he might want to be alone right now and going to him might escalate the issue'.He stood for a while thinking it over and was just about to go into his room when another very agitated person, though not panting laboriously as Andrew burst in and went straight into Andrew's room.'I take it back', Adrian muttered to himself. 'It wasn't Iris. These two must have had a little lovers' quarrel'. He scoffed and shook his head. 'Iris I am sorry for blaming you for this even before I was able to confirm my suspicions', he said, addressing an absent Iris as though she was present. He smiled as he thought of her and shook his head, walking
Lyndon ran and when he could not anymore, he instinctively picked a cab, to the Moonlight pack. He felt if there was anywhere Andrew would go back to, it was his pack.Vin Morgan, Andrew's Beta tried stopping him again but one look at Lyndon's face, he paused. Then remembered how his Alpha had asked him to leave him alone with Lyndon and shrugged. 'The both of them are obviously friends and there must be something they are trying to figure out', he thought as he allowed him to run into Andrew's room.'Andrew, I can explain', he said as soon as he burst into the room.'You do not owe me any explanations!' Andrew, who was lying on the bed said. 'If you do not mind, I have to prepare for a meeting with the elders.'It is not what you think!' Lyndon insisted.'It is of no concern to me, what you do, how you spend your leisure or your sexual preferences!' Andrew said and Lyndon was filled with despair.'I told you, I have been a wreck since you kicked me out of your life', he said. 'I cann
Andrew had come to visit Iris. He wanted to be her first guest but he was shocked to see her walk hand in hand out of the door to an unknown destination. He felt pain and rested his back against a tree to catch his breath. It had seemed like he was suffocating. Had Sean slept in the house? How come he was there as early as this? Andrew wondered.Since they were walking on foot, Andrew decided to follow them at a distance. He knew that he was just giving them reason to cause him more heart ache but he just couldn't resist. He had to know. The way they were holding hands and smiling into each other's eyes made him insanely jealous but he persisted.They got to the stream, oblivious of the fact that they were followed. Their game made Andrew realize that he was very lonely and had been for a very long time. He wished he was the one playing such intimate games with Iris.Then Iris caught Sean from behind, her body pressing into his back, her arms around him and Andrew swore. He shut his
Sean could see at a glance that Iris was bothered. He could not place a finger on it but he instinctively felt that it was male related. Who was that fool that dared to trouble his woman?'She is not your woman, yet, dude', Max, his wolf cautioned. 'But she will soon be!' he answered confidently.'Well, if that is going to be possible, you have to step up your game because it seems she is already considering another or can't you see how troubled she is?' Max asked.'Iris, are you okay?' he asked, looking at Iris with concern.'Yes, yes, I am fine', she replied. 'How is your day going?' she asked.'Very well, now that I have seen you', he said with a smile. Iris smiled back. 'Hope yours is not going too bad either?''I am great as you can see', she answered. 'You are early today, is there a particular reason for it?' she asked remembering the visitor who just left and his he had left her dumbfounded.'Do I need a reason to visit my mate, my love?' he asked, tipping her face up so he c
Third Person POVLyndon had never felt as hurt and humiliated as he felt as he left Andrew's pack mansion. 'Why did you have to mate me with someone who does not want me or our kind of Love, Moon Goddess?' he howled in his mind. He clutched his chest. Oh, it was so painful being rejected either verbally or action - wise by one's mate. And in Lyndon's case, Andrew had rejected him in both ways.'I guess that's it', he said to himself. He could feel his wolf writhing in pain. 'Since you do not want to have anything to do with me, since you are ashamed of our relationship, I shall let you go. I hope you find a better mate. But first there is something I have to do!'He went home and all through the night, he could not sleep. He tossed and turned and whenever he thought of Andrew, his heart skipped a beat and then started beating frantically and the accompanying pain was hell.The next day, before he could change his mind, he set out to the Moon Ville Pack. This was the last thing he fel
Adrian's POV Do you really love Iris the way you would have me believe?' I asked. 'Because if you do, then you might want to take your own advice and leave her be!'Andrew looked at me shocked and angry. His reaction was confusing. It would have been understandable if I had not stumbled on that scene earlier.That was why as we had our dinner, I couldn't help looking at my younger brother and wondering how he became involved with the man I saw him with.Just the other day, he had been angry that I wanted to pursue Iris again and I knew... had been sure that he had loved her from the start. I have always suspected that though brothers and he hadn't complained later, he hadn't totally forgiven me for taking Iris from him and also for mistreating her. I also have not seen him with other girls nor boys for that matter. Could loneliness and frustration be the reason he was now involved with men? But he still seemed interested in Iris but how could he if he was gay?'You are insane!' he ho
