‘Alpha Adrian Blake, do you take Iris Sylvester Merryweather as your mate and Luna?’ the priest asked.‘I do!’ Adrian replied smiling.‘Princess Iris Sylvester Merryweather, do you take Alpha Adrian as your fated mate and Alpha?’‘I do!’ she replied smiling happily.‘I now pronounce you, Alpha and Luna of the Moonlight pack! The priest said, smiling at the happy couple. ‘You may now kiss your Luna!’Adrian placed both hands on her neck, pulling her close as their lips met in a delicious but short kiss, everyone present applauded.Roxy could not believe what had just happened. Iris had really had her way. She was married to the love of her life. The sad thing was that not only was Adrian madly in love with Iris, but his younger brother Andrew also loved Iris. No one seemed to love Roxy and she felt insanely jealous of Iris. Why did she get to have it all?Sadly both she and Selina, Adrian’s mother had tried to get in touch with Wendy but they had not been able to find her. She seemed t
'Roxy, wake up!’ Adrian spoke to her as she lay still. ‘Bring the smelling salt!’ he ordered.Roxy coughed after sniffing, and comes awake.‘What is this stunt you are pulling?’ he asked.‘Stunt?’ she asked looking around at all the people gathered. Adrian got the message. ‘Leave us, everyone!’‘Iris, you should too!’ Adrian said to the shock of Iris who had come to see how Roxy was faring.‘Adrian, we just got married. Whatever she wants to say to you, she can say in my presence. We have no secrets from each other!’ Iris said.‘Do as I command, Iris!’ Adrian said in a hard voice. He had never used such a voice on Iris before and Iris was very shocked and speechless. Today, they were supposed to be happiest and mating lovingly, Adrian was snapping at her as though they were foes or as though they were having a row’.‘Alright. I shall be in our room waiting for you’, Iris said, determined not to give Roxy the satisfaction of getting angry or having a row with her husband in her presenc
Andrew left Adrian in Roxy's embrace and went in search of Iris. He could just imagine how she would feel if she found her beloved Adrian in the arms of her step sister.'Iris, there you are!' he said cheerfully. 'I thought my brother has taken you away, far from our reach'.'Oh, Andrew!' she said, not too cheerfully.'What's wrong, Iris darling?' he asked going to her, holding her hands and looking deep into her eyes.'It's ... eh nothing', she said, smiling brightly. 'It's nothing at all!''It can't be nothing if you are feeling this restless', he said, vowing in his heart to give his elder brother a piece of his mind. How could he have such a treasure for a wife and still mess around with that witch? 'Anyway, where's Adrian?' he asked, pretending he had not just seen him with Roxy.'He is with Roxy. She fainted and your mother asked him to take care of her', Iris said, sadly. 'Can you imagine that? A man who just wedded and should be with his wife is asked to care for another woman
'What plans do you have for us?' Iris asked Adrian. This was coming a month after their wedding. Four weeks of sexual abuse. She had tried to initiate the mating, touching him on the shoulder once. 'What do you think you are doing?' he asked flinging away her hand. 'If you touch me again without my permission, then you shall live to regret it!' he threatened. 'But I am your wife and mate', she tried to reason with him gently. 'I have a right to your body as you have to mine!' 'You have no right whatsoever to my body?' he shouted. 'Be grateful that I made you my Luna and that I suffer myself to touch you!' Iris' ideology about what her marriage to Adrian would be was shattered. She hadn't known what a real lover's touch was since they got married and she was tired of waiting patiently, hoping that he would soon overcome his anger and bitterness towards her and mate with her the way a true lover should, rather than like an angry person taking out his anger on a prostitute. Usi
'I am fine, Andrew', Iris said, touched by his care and concern.'Honest!''You do not have to endure anything. If Adrian is treating you badly, let me know and I'll take you to a place far from here, where he cannot to touch you anymore!' he vowed.Iris would love nothing better than that. At least till Adrian came back to his senses. She still loved him and hoped he would realise he was making a mistake by treating her this way. But she quickly recalled Adrian's threat that morning. She did not want her siblings to have to pay for her impulsiveness.'Take me far from my loving husband and pack?' she laughed incredulously. 'Andrew, I know you have feelings for me but you should realise that I am now your sister - in - law and squash those feelings to death. I do not want to lose your friendship!''Neither do I, but you do not have to suffer in silence', he said, his eyes imploring her and it brought tears to her eyes. Why couldn't her husband be as caring and compassionate as his you
'My dear son!' Selina called. 'You are going out so early', she observed.'The Alpha King has called for a meeting of the Alphas. There's a treaty he wants to propose. We need to attend like meek lambs, and though I do not want to, what choice do I have? He's the Alpha King anyway!''And I thought you loved the family!' Selina laughed.'What I feel for that family doesn't come close to being called love, not in a million years!' Adrian vowed. 'I see how much love you are giving your bride. And I cannot be happier. She has to taste a little of what her family made me pass through, starting from her late grand mother, Magdalene!''I told you to trust me. I told you I knew what I was doing but you wouldn't pay Attention!' Adrian who had always loved his mother said. He hated anyone who had caused his mother years or pain. He was not doing any of this for his father. He hated his father and was grateful that he died in the war, he himself instigated. He had wanted to strangle Blake himse
'That was a great suggestion you made Alpha King about the peace treaty', Alpha Adrian said, after the meeting was over, while looking with undisguised admiration at Alpha Sylvester.'Thank you, son - in - law', Alpha Sylvester smiled. ' How is your wife, Iris?''Oh, Iris is fine and taking great care of me', he said smiling happily.'Good to hear', Sylvester smiled. 'But are you taking good care of her as well?'Has Iris been talking to them? Adrian wondered. Because if she had, then she would not like the repercussions. 'How can I not take care of my lovely wife? Who else would I care for, if not her? She is the sunshine in my life!' he said solemnly.'Great!' Alpha Sylvester said. 'I feel the same way about her mother too, so, I understand what you are saying. But why hasn't she come for a visit yet?' he asked.'Yes, let her come for a visit!' Millicent said, looking intently at Adrian. She did not know why she felt uneasy about the young man. 'We miss her alot and want to see for
A month later, Iris found out she was pregnant. To find out how Adrian would feel about this, she had ignored all his maltreatment. Roxy now frequented the pack. It was almost as though she was living Ng with them. She had also caught her with Adrian on various occasions but had not said anything, believing that things would get back to the way it was between her and Adrian before their marriage.'You might be the Luna in name , I am the one really married to Adrian', Roxy gloated one day. 'You have no place here and soon, you will be driven away. We hat will you do then?' she taunted.Iris kept quiet, not responding to her taunts but continued doing what she was doing in the kitchen.'Cat got your tongue?' Roxy asked. 'No response? I can see that you have already accepted your fate of perpetual suffering in the hands of your so - called husband!'Iris continued cleaning the gas and kitchen cabinet, ignoring her. 'Aren't you the one I am speaking to?' Roxy asked pushing Iris, who hi
