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
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
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
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 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
Two days later, Sean arrived on time to take me out on our date.My brothers assessed him. Turned out they knew him and though sceptical, were in support that I should give him a chance.We went to the Seaside Moon Hotel and after going through the menu, we ordered.After the meal, Sean took me out to the body of water that gave the hotel its name. I was nervous. I felt I knew what he was going to do. I didn't want it to get complicated. It was better if I intimated him about my feelings concerning marriage.'People are always talking about marriage but I think it is overrated', I said. Then smiling up at him, I asked, 'What do you think about it?''About what?' he asked, clearly thrown.'About marriage', I said easily.'I... I..', he stammered, looking at me strangely. 'I can understand why you have changed your opinion about marriage but marriage can be very sweet if you find the right partner and I can assure you that I have found the right partner and I believe our marriage shall
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
