I got to the Moon Ville Pack. It was good to be able to move around on my own once again and know where I am going, not be led by someone because of memory loss.At first, I was undecided whether or no t to go in but the dream and the danger that I felt spurred me on. I knew Iris' parents may not want to see me but this was just what I had to do.I got in, but was stopped at the door. by the guards.'What business brings you here?' one of them asked.'I'll like to see the princess', I replied, but when they looked at me uncomprehendingly, I explained further, 'Princess Iris', I said, 'you must know her, she lives here. I want to see her!''We know who the Princess is but who are you ?' the other guard asked. 'And what is your business with her? Do you have an appointment?'I couldn't blame them for not recognizing me. I had been out of it for long and we even when I was Alpha, I didn't really do anything notable for people not to forget me, I thought in regret. 'Tell the former Alpha
My mind was clouded with one desire and that was to taste her lips. So, I asked instead, 'Do you still remember how it felt when we imprinted, the first day we met, at your birthday party?’She looked at me shocked. It was obvious that she was not expecting that question. I knew the next question she was going to ask but I just could not help myself as I drew her into my arms and crushed my lips on hers.Oh, God! I groaned inwardly, such soft lips, how I have missed this. I kissed her, growing more excited with each passing moment, until a stinging pain on my cheek brought me up, the sound of the slap resounding in my ears.'How dare you do that?' she asked, enraged. I recollected myself. I hadn't set out to do that but she would not believe me. 'I'm sorry', I said, looking at her pleadingly.'You are sorry?' she shouted. 'You mean you have been pretending to lose your memory all this while?' she asked and I shook my head, trying to deny it but she didn't give me the chance to explai
Sean's POV I feel that Iris is starting to like me. She doesn't avoid me nor refuse to see me. She could have come up with various excuses not to see me but she doesn't. Either the rumours about her stoic behaviour towards men is exaggerated or she has started letting up. Either way, I was happy that I was spending more time with her. Soon I was going to pop the question. I am just bidding my time and don't want to act too soon because I fear she might reject me.I have investigated her past and I knew everything there is to know about her relationship and consequent marriage to Adrian. How that ended and all. What I am not sure of is if she still has feelings for him. Women were a strange lot. She might still be harbouring feelings for him. I wouldn't have cared but for the fact that the fool decided to come back to the scene just when I decided to make my move in Iris.I was taking Iris out and planning on asking her feelings about marriage and subtly pop the question when that nui
'Did you love her?' Iris asked. I looked at her and didn't know how to explain it. 'She was the only girl I had allowed myself to get close to, so I must have liked her really much!' I answered. I didn't want her pity. If I said I loved Lila Martins, Iris might think that just like her, I was heartbroken and still was. 'Aren't you?' Sly whispered in my head. 'I am sorry to hear all that. It seems you had a very hard childhood unlike what I thought', she said. 'You thought that as the only child, my parents must have pampered me silly and I am so spoilt I do not know the meaning of suffering?' I supplied for her. She was shocked as she stared at me open mouthed. 'How did you know that was what I thought?' 'I get that alot, but that's not me', I smiled, adopting a carefree attitude. 'Enough about me. Tell me about yourself'. 'You told me that you had me investigated because you didn't listen to rumours', she replied, smiling. 'So you already know about me or including anyth
Iris' POV 'Did you love her?' I asked Sean after he told me about his past. He had sounded so bereft that I felt sure he must still care about his first love, Lila Martins. I felt sorry for all he passed through as a child but there was also another emotion, which I didn't care to investigate deeply.'Your turn, tell me about yourself', he requested. I had known that he would ask that but somehow I didn't want to tell him but he had been very forthcoming about himself, so we I decided to get it over with. Moreover, it was not a secret what I passed through in my marriage to Adrian.I narrated my story as briefly as I could but I could see that it had touched him deeply.'Do you still love him?' he asked now and it was uncanny how his question seemed to echo mine.'I don't love him and neither do I hate him', I replied all his questions. 'I don't know if I have forgiven him or not but I sure have not forgotten!'After that I lost my appetite but thankfully I had finished the delicio
Andrew's POV The next day, having slept and had a better control over myself and my emotions, I wondered why the throne room seemed so quiet. I had half expected Adrian to come after me when I left him, but he hadn't. Was he in his room asleep? I checked, he was not there.'Alpha, you have a meeting with the elders this morning', My Beta, Morgan, announced.'Reschedule it!' I said.'The meeting is important, my Alpha' Morgan said. 'You specifically asked me to remin...''Reschedule it!' I howled and he took a step back in shock. I had never spoken to him this way before. He wouldn't understand but I was stressed and I went to the throne room where I had left him to see if he was there, only to find him gone.'Where has Adrian gone to?' I asked myself. I didn't know I had spoken out until one of the maids answered.'The master stepped out a while ago', she said. 'He seemed to be in quite a hurry!'I knew instantly where he must have gone to. I planned on going there as well. This wa
Andrew, it is not what you think', she said, grabbing my hands. Her touch was my undoing. I could not pretend to be a gentleman anymore as I pulled her into my arms for a kiss.I had meant for the kiss to be a quick one, to show her that what the other men can do or give to her, I could do much more. But as the kiss progressed, I just couldn't help myself, I lost myself in it. Her soft lips yielding to mine, rather than bringing out the beast in me, tamed it, causing a calm to descend on me and I felt like worship her like the goddess she was. As I raised my head to look into her eyes, wanting to hear her say, she felt something different in the kiss like I did, her words, hurt me beyond words.'It is just like you just kissed me, Andrew', she said, 'It didn't mean anything to me. Though I can't say if it did to them or not!''Oh, I see!' I said, really seeing that she felt nothing for me. 'We are just a bunch of fools, playing around you for attention but making no impact! I didn't
Lyndon's POV I had no rest after Andrew left. I could not stop thinking about him. The thought of him kept giving me a hard on. I knew this could not continue. I was going insane with wanting him. I knew I had been attracted to Iris and maybe still was but I was angry that she was the reason I could not have a fulfilling relationship withy mate.Or was I attracted to her just because the live of my life was? I couldn't answer the question with all sincerity. All I knew was that I would do anything to get Andrew to be mine but I just didn't know what to do nor how to go about doing it.As I longed for him, I nursed the pain of his rejection. I had vowed I wasn't going to go near Andrew again till he realized he had made a mistake by rejecting me and come back to me.'Life is too precious to be wasted on such childishness', Sly said in my head. 'Go after our mate. The Moon Goddess mated you to him for a reason. Fight for him, get him back!'At first, I fought the impulse to go after An
I woke the next morning to find someone standing by my door with a bouquet of red roses. The roses hid their face but I could guess who the person was. No other person had this kind of aura. An aura of danger and passion. Why was I thinking that? I wondered. Pregnancy hormones must have started acting up.He shifted the roses from his face and smiled at me. 'Good morning gorgeous!' he said.'Good morning, Adrian', I replied, wondering how he got to this place as early as this and still looking clean and refreshed. Was it his speed or did he spend the night in the hotel? I felt self conscious all of a sudden, I had slept late into the morning and had not freshed on yet. I collected the bouquet and smelt the roses. 'Thank you for this!' I said, smiling thinly, not sure if I wanted him to be this nice to me. I was going to shut the door as I turned back to go in when I looked at his expectant face and thought, he had been good, why not invite him in?There was an instant when I debated t
Iris' POV Since Adrian had sniffed me and claimed my unborn child as his, my heart has been in turmoil. Why did it have to be his? Couldn't it have been someone else's? I wouldn't even mind if the person had been gay. Why was it Adrian's semen of all the semen in the sperm bank, that happened to be injected into me? I wished he hadn't been at the gathering and heard everything. It felt good though the way he had stood up for me back there but if he thought that it changed anything or that my pregnancy is a means for him to get back with me, he was seriously misled.As I walked away, I thought of going home to my parents but I felt they might be disappointed. They had believed that this time my marriage was the real thing. Telling them it had ended in disaster would only break their heart. Also, I didn't want any lecture and that was why instead of calling my family to pick me up or speaking to them through mind link, I changed my mind and decided to stay in a hotel till things cool
Alpha Adrian's POVI walked fast. I needed to catch up with Iris but how come she had covered so much ground in such a short while. Her speed was admirable. I still cannot get it out if my head that she was pregnant with my pups. How had it happened? I need to talk to her about it and perhaps now that she had rejected her mate and her divorce is in progress, I might have a chance with her.'Iris, wait up!' he called as soon as he got close enough for her to hear him.'Adrian, thank you for standing up for me there, but that is all there is to it. We owe each other nothing!' she said as I caught up with her.'I didn't come here because I wanted to disrupt your marriage', I said. 'Truly, I have kept tabs on you but it is just to be sure that Sean doesn't mistreat you, because I regretted and still regret how I treated you', I paused to allow my words sink in. 'I was happy that you were happy in your marriage and was getting all I couldn't give you when we were married, love, care attent
'You are not leaving this godforsaken castle of mine!' he said mimicking her words, his eyes glowing in his fury. 'If you think I am going to stay quiet and allow you leave this place so you can go live with your lover, you are sadly mistaken and if you think I will sign this document, you have been misled. I will not divorce you. You will never be free to remarry your ex husband', he vowed, his nose flaring up.'I have many of these prepared and my lawyer will visit you with another copy but so that you know how decided I am, we shall do this the traditional way', she said, placing her hand on her chest. 'I Iris Sylvester, Merryweather Anderson, reject you, Alpha Sean Anderson of the Golden Moon pack as my mate and Alpha!' she said.Alpha Sean's face registered shock and then he staggered back, clutching his chest, wincing. He straightened up with great difficulty. 'I reject your rejection!' he said, his chest heaving with an emotion that could only be fury.Iris, looked at him, shoo
Third Person's POV'How is this possible, Iris?' Alpha Conqueror said as he got to Iris' side with the speed of lightening. 'I smell my pup in you!'Iris looked shocked and stared at Adrian as though he had grown horns. 'What are you talking about?' she asked, brushing his hands off her.'I am saying, no matter how unbelievable it is to people that you are pregnant', he said. 'To me, the unbelievable part is that it is my pup growing inside of you!''You are insane!' she said, and happened to look at Madam Fairweather who smiled and nodded.Iris' shock increased. How could that be? Adrian never donated his semen to any bank but Fairweather's facial expression showed that he was right and it must, else how could he have smelt that she was pregnant and that the pup was his... except, Fairweather was manipulating it?'It is not possible', Alpha Sean said, laughing mockingly. 'She cannot get pregnant even if you pumped a tank full of semen into her!' he said and his words hurt Iris badly.
'I dragged him into a room close by and we mated. After that, I was so tired I slept ', she narrated. 'When I came to, I was in a warehouse somewhere outside the pack with some goons waiting to harass me. They tied me to the bed and we're ready to ... to.. but thank goodness, Alpha Merrick came and rescued me!'What she narrated got me furious and I knew who was responsible for her experiences but when it got to her rescuer, she spoke his name with so much gentleness that I smiled yet again. She was in love with Alpha Merrick, I decided.hadnt been sure before but I could tell that the feeling was mutual and I couldn't be happier. She deserved it.'Your so called doppelganger is someone I have suspected from the very first that Angela planted', I revealed. 'Her intention may have been to thwart my plans and she succeeded'.'But why would she want to do that when she wanted the Alpha for hers of?' Anna asked, her brows furrowing in thought.'She must have felt that it was better for her
Iris' POVAfter I got a call telling me that Anna had been found and her location sent to me, I hurried right away to go see her. I was overjoyed but hoped that it would not be a wild goose chase. 'Let it be Anna indeed, dear Moon Goddess!' I prayed. I had been scared that Angela had killed her.I got to the Bedrock Pack and asked to see the Alpha. I stated the reason for my visit and I was asked to wait at the reception till he was able to see me. Thankfully, it was not long.'Good afternoon, Luna Iris of the Golden Moon Pack, Princess of the Moon Ville Pack', he greeted. I looked up surprised. He was well informed. 'To what do I owe this august visit?' he asked.'I am looking for someone', I said, going straight to the point after acknowledging his greetings and offering my own. 'I heard she is in this pack and I wish to see her. It is really urgent!''Who might you be referring to?' he asked narrowing his eyes at me.'None other than Anna Smith', I said, looking him straight in the
'Crystal told me all about it', Fairweather admitted. 'It was indeed an accident and she - we are sorry for your loss!''Alpha Merrick, you are really a fast worker that you immediately put her in the family way even before your wedding!' Alpha Sean said, not sure if he was happy that Anna was engaged and fated to Alpha Merrick or not. Anna was supposed to be his breeder, for goodness sake and not a mate to a more powerful Alpha.'Oh, you're wrong, Alpha Sean', Alpha Merrick remarked. 'The baby was yours. It was the seed that you sow in her that night you both slept for the first time before she was viciously carted away to be murdered but for the Goddess' intervention!''My pup?' Alpha Sean whispered harshly. Was the surprises of this day never going to end? 'And what kind of accident deprived me of it?' he asked.'I was going for a walk, which Alpha Merrick didn't permit by the way, when I saw my look alike and was shocked be cause I never knew I had a twin', Anna answered. Alpha S
'You did what?' Alpha Sean asked, his eyes wide and nose flailed up in fury.'I just wanted you to know that it was not natural, though for it to have worked so well, you might have laboured a little attraction towards her', Fairweather said. 'My potions are potent but if you really found her repulsive, it would not have worked as well as it did. She didn't seem to encounter any problems!''Of course, he didn't until you snitched on me to him about Ben!' Angela accused.'I did no such thing. But why would you two time such a great man as he?' Fairweather asked. 'Your Ben cannot be compared to Alpha Sean in any way!''So of you helped her with a charm to make me find her irresistible, you did the same for your daughter Crystal!' Alpha Sean accused.'I did no such thing!' Fairweather repeated, more vehemently this time. 'What you feel for Crystal is natural. It was not spell - induced. I never meant for you to sleep with her, just to take the place of the real Anna until Angela could ge
