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
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
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
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
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
Sean's POV I could not believe that Iris was finally, solely mine. During the wedding, though we had already got our certificate, I still expected Iris to change her mind. I suspect she might still be secretly in love with Adrian but I really couldn't be sure but why else would she not want me? Many she wolves would die to bey lover, not mentioning bride but the one person I want is reluctant to be with me. And to think we are mated.There was no issue, now that we are married in all the ways possible, I shall try and win her over. I shall make her forget other men and every hurt she might have experienced. She said it should be a contract marriage to get her parents and brothers off her back, no problem but it isn't going to be a contract for that long because soon, I shall sway her into accepting our marriage as a real one.I had expected her to turn away from my kiss but she allowed me to kiss her thoroughly when the seer asked us to kiss and if not for the fact that it was a publi
'At least, he accepted that the child was his!' Miranda said, her eyes filled with sympathy for Roma, realizing that indeed, their cases were similar.'At first he doubted it, telling me I couldn't be sure it was his, since it could be for any of the other men I was sleeping with!'Miranda felt Roma's pain.'I couldn't start telling him, he was the only man I had ever been with so I was hundred percent certain it was his. Just asked him to smell them or do a paternity test. He sniffed - he has a great sense of smell. That is one of his gifts and found I was his indeed and that was when he made me the offer'.'What are going to do?' Miranda asked, thinking that men were heels. 'Are you going to keep it?' she asked.'Would you suggest I terminate it?' she asked. 'I can't. It is a part of me and a part of Lyndon. It is fruit of my time with him', she said smiling. 'Since I can't have him, at least I could have his pup!''But he isn't even willing to allow you that much', Miranda wailed.
'To answer your question, I am taking you to my house', Roma said.Miranda fell quiet and they walked on in companionable silence till they got to Roma's pack house.'No one is home?' Miranda asked as they entered.'No', Roma answered. 'I lost my dad sometime ago and my mother is just recovering from the shock. They were so much in love. I had been scared she would do something stupid but thank the Goddess that she was wise not to attempt any such thing. She has gone to work though', she said shrugging.'What does she do?' Miranda asked.'She is a midwife', she helps the people of the pack give birth to their pups', she replied, smiling proudly.'Ah, that's good to hear!' Miranda replied, her voice filled with admiration for Rima's mother.'Please, make yourself comfortable', she said, waving Miranda to a seat.Miranda nodded and suddenly felt weak in her knees as she fell gratefully into an armchair. She looked round the room and the pictures.Roma saw her looking and started pointin
Adrian looked at Miranda and was touched. The world was cruel. Life was not fair at all, he thought. Fate was cruel. The mate he loved and wanted desperately didn't want him any more and with good cause' and the one he could never love and want the way she would have wanted him to, was insanely in love with him and seemed to need him desperately, to the extent of wanting to go into a loveless relationship with him, putting herself at a disadvantage with the compromise she was willing to make.'Have you not been told that it is dangerous being in a relationship where your feelings is not reciprocated?' he asked, touching her cheek, gently and she shut her eyes, relishing his touch. 'And haven't you heard what it caused to Iris when we were married?''I am willing to take my chances!' she replied, her voice husky, as she lifted her hand to hold his as he touched her face.'But I cannot do that to you, Miranda', he said, taking his hands away. 'I don't want to give you false hopes. I ca
Miranda did not see the reason but she decided to attend Iris' wedding. She wanted to know why Adrian would not even consider her. Was it because he was sure that Iris would choose to leave with him rather than marry Sean? Or was Adrian planning on crashing the wedding?The setting was elegant. Miranda could not help looking at the decoration.The bride was walked to the aisle by her father who was smiling. The bride herself was smiling as well. Is a drama about to unfold here? Miranda thought. You have been seeing a lot of movies. Or was Adrian just testing her love and would propose to Miranda ? 'Wake up, Miranda! Do you want to keep disgracing yourself with him? He has made himself clear why can't you seem to forget him? Or do you think this is a movie where the man becomes the hero and saves the day?The seer was there waiting for the bride and so was Sean. He was looking very handsome and distinguished in his black suit. He looked at Iris as her father walked her down the aisl
