Adrian's POV 'Your two minutes with my date is over', Sean Anderson said as he came out the door and I was furious that he had to be there. I wasn't through explaining myself to Iris yet. I felt like wringing his neck but he held out his hands to Iris, 'Shall we, darling?'I was still staring after them long after they had entered the car and driven out of sight.I was about to turn back and go home to think about how to remedy the mistake I had made when a voice stopped me.'Who are you?' I turned back to find the Wolf King, standing at the entrance. He must have been on his way ay put because his Beta was with him as well as some guards. Or had Iris alerted her father to my presence and asked him to deal with me?'Greetings, the all powerful Wolf Sylvester', I said, wondering what my fate would be for coming to his house uninvited, given our history.'If it isn't the rogue Adrian!' he said, but funny enough, his voice didn't sound as menacing as I had been envisaging.'Alpha King,
Alpha Sylvester's POV'If she decides she doesn't want you back, probably because there's someone else, already in her heart, promise me you will let her go and not make her life harder by persisting? After all you want her to be happy, don't you?''I promise!' he said, and I saw hope in his eyes and it touched me. 'And I do want her to be Happy'. I felt pity for him because I wasn't sure if he and Iris could get back together or not. But I hoped for the best for both their sakes. Hearing him speak, reminded me of my past with Millicent,my beloved Luna. All I put her through... I had loved her from the start, but grudges and bitterness had clouded it and disguised it as hatred and not until I had lost her to my brother, Alpha Christopher of blessed memory did I realized I couldn't live without her and no other woman would do.Over the years, I have often wondered his my life would be if she had given me a second chance. I might have remained an old unmarried and unmated Alpha King, l
Lyndon's POV After Morgan shut the door and left, leaving me in the room with Andrew, I walked towards him. He was sitting on the bed.'What are you doing here, Lyndon?' he asked, in a tired tone.'I felt your distress and my wolf drove me here to you and I can see that I am right and you need me', I said. I was not going to tell him that I had witnessed his hurt and humiliation.'I do not need you!' he said.'I doubt that. You are my mate and if I feel that you need me, then that is the way it is', I said.'The so - called bond is broken. So what are you talking about?' he asked. 'Please go away, I want to be alone!''That's where you are wrong', I said. 'You are an Alpha and should know that a mate bond cannot completely be broken if one of the parties haven't accepted the rejection of the other', I said, pausing for it to sink in. 'And I will never accept your rejection!''You're insane', he said.'Are you just coming to that realization?' I asked and he looked at me baffled. 'I h
Adrian 's POV I left the Moon Ville Pack after discussing with Alpha King Sylvester my ex father - in - law. I smiled. I was happy with the outcome of our discussion. Hopefully, our relationship would not be ex, anymore, he will be my father - in - law again and this time I vowed I was going to show them what a great son - in - law I could be. As I made my way back to the Moonlight Pack, I couldn't stop thinking about Iris. I thought about the kiss we shared in the garden and heaved a sigh. It had been heavenly but I couldn't be sure, if it meant to Iris, the same thing it had to me. I had felt such a strong rush of emotion and passion that I had not been able to hold myself back. It had felt as though I had never been with a woman before. maybe because it had been long since last I was. But the intensity of my desire had ked me to harbouring thoughts of ravishing her there and then, but for the fact that she pushed me away and brought me back to my senses, I would have had Iris
Andrew's POV l looked into Lyndon's eyes and what I saw there, caused my heart to cease beating for a second. He had disputed my words about what he thought we had being bizarre and I felt like a heel when I saw the pain in his eyes. But, I had to discourage him. He had to stop this nonsense about is being mates. But... his response, 'I wouldn't say that! I know you are great in everything you do!' when in desperation, I had said, I was not good for anything or anyone, had really boosted my confidence. I felt something stir in me then but I didn't want to accept the love he was offering. I felt so lost and unwanted. The woman I loved and wanted seemed not to be interested in me, at least not in the way I would have loved and the man I wasn't interested in seemed to love me mindlessly. It was a mess and insane and I didn't know what to do. Then all of a sudden, he bent over me and I became frightened but at the same time highly excited when I realized what he was going to do.
Then I met Iris who helped me with the bullies that might have killed me on that fateful day. No one would have come to my aid. Dad was away as usual, mum was with Adrian and the maid did care when I left the house for the outdoors. I knew then that I had been sent a guardian angel and loved her instantly. If she could stand up for me like that, it only meant that she could live me and I was already reciprocating her kindness with my love. When Adrian got her instead of me, I felt bad. Was I going to remain loveless all my life? But if she was going to be happy with my brother, then I was also happy. But she was not! Right from the first... but she still kept making excuses for Adrian when I could have taken her away and lived her to madness. Even after this time, she still has not given me a reason to hope that my wait was not in vain. But how could I accept Lyndon's kind of love? I could not deny that I felt strangely drawn to him and it was a novel experience but I couldn
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
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
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
