Iris was still shocked at the turn of events. She could not thank Andrew enough.'You rescued me again!' she told him when Adrian finally left them alone. He was too embarrassed and ashamed to say anything other than. 'I'm sorry'.'It is the toxicity of our relationship working', Andrew smiled. 'I believe Adrian will be a better husband to you now', Andrew said wistfully.'Perhaps', she said simply.'Your love will grow to overflowing proportions now, won't it? With the baby on the way and all the misunderstanding resolved', he prophesied.'I don't know', she said thoughtfully.'What do you mean?' he asked.'Nothing. I am confused right now, Andrew and feeling drowsy', she said lying back on the bed for a well deserved rest. 'There is something I cannot wrap my hands around. How did you find out about Roxy and her plans?''I had left the hospital that day very angry with Adrian for treating you the way he does. As I left, I saw Roxy leave her bed to come eavesdrop in your ward. I hide
'I heard that you have made a baby with that daughter of a murderer who you call your wife!' Luna Selina said, looking at Adrian with disapproval.Adrian was not happy with what she had said but he could never raise his voice to his mother who had gone through so much in life, especially for him.'I only just found out that she is pregnant, myself', he said by way of explanation. 'Roxy, ried to frame her, thank goodness we found out early enough before I caused her any real harm!''Would it have been so bad if you had harmed her?' she asked.Adrian looked at his mother in shock. 'Did you hear what I said about her being pregnant with my child? I mean he's also your grand child!''No grandchild of mine will come from a murderer', she spat. 'I'd rather be without any. Make Roxy your Luna and breeder, let her bear your heirs'.Adrian looked down to hide the pained expression on his face.'Oh, I see how it is', his mother continued. 'You really love the girl, like I suspected and everyon
'You never told me you bribed the doctor with your body as well as with money, Roxy', Selina went straight to the point the instant that Roxy came to answer her summons.'I didn't think it was necessary. The doctor means nothing to me. I was just doing what I felt was necessary to keep the man I love from straying to another woman who is not worthy of him!''And you are?' Selina asked still unhappy with her recent escapades.'I thought you felt that I was', Roxy said defensively. 'otherwise, what's the essence of all we are planning and doing?''If you should be worthy of my son, you will have to get your acts together and stop sleeping around like a cheap whore!' Selina shouted at her. 'By the way, who is this nonentity they say is your boyfriend, with whom you have been having wild sex with?''I went to him once in fury and jealousy when Adrian refused to be with me even though he knew I was on heat. He left me and went in to Iris in the guise of punishing her. I was on heat for goo
Adrian went into their room after speaking with his mother and found Iris sleeping.He stood looking at her for a long time, thinking that she was indeed a lovely girl. His gaze shifted to her stomach and his heart twisted and he vowed he wasn't going to allow any harm befall his pup no matter the situation between him and Iris.He walked away from the door and went towards the bed Iris was lying in as though in a trance. He knew Iris was out and wouldn't wake easily due to the drugs she had been given.'I have given your Luna her medications.', the doctor said. 'She should not be disturbed. The drug will put her to a deep sleep, though a mild sedative because of her condition, it will still make her sleep deeply because of her injuries and the stress she's been through!'He touched her stomach, 'I'll let no harm befall you, my darling pup', he said as he kissed the stomach. He felt close to his pup and strangely drawn to Iris the more. He saw a lock that had escaped down her cheek a
'Mum, is this really you?' Roxy screeched with joy. 'You were gone for so long!''A lot happened to keep me away', Wendy replied, slumping in a couch. 'I was determined to get here no matter how late it may seem and that's why I am here!''I was beginning to wonder what was keeping you, dear friend', Selina intoned when she came into the room to join them. I tried to stop them marrying, I kept postponing it till I could postpone it no longer. But I believe you have a plausible explanation. Tell us your story and how we can remedy this situation!'Wendy smiled. 'I knew that by now, Adrian would be married to Iris. I had hoped you might have come up with a way to stop them but you did well by stalling them'. Her face became serious. 'I had set out into the fields to get that rate plant for the potion I told you about but I was caught unawares by some rogue wolves!''Rogue wolves?' Roxy and Selina exclaimed, simultaneously.'Yes!' She confirmed, nodding. 'I just got to the field where I
Iris dared not hope that the change in Adrian was as a result of a change in his feelings for her. If he would say the three magic words, she knew she would forget all that he had done to her in the past. But though she sensed a slight change in him, he did not act towards her like he lived her. He paid more attention to her stomach and she knew he was just interested in the pup and not in her!‘I better enjoy this reprieve while it lasts be ause after the birth of the pups, he might retrogress back to where they started. Not for the first time, she wondered what kind of future she would give her baby with a broken home and the hatred her inlaws except for Andrew of course had for her. Would such hatred be transfered.Two days later, she was resting on the bed, when Wendy, Roxy's mother came in to see her.‘Iris, how are you enjoying your marriage?’ she asked mockingly.‘The goddess be praised!’ she replied smiling. She knew why Wendy had asked the question and she was not going to gi
Adrian could not understand what the problem was with him but it was as though he was at war with himself. He realised that a part of him wanted to continue punishing Iris while the other part wanted to treat her with the love overflowing in his heart.But he kept maltreating her.Iris was surprised at the reverse in Adrian. I thought he had changed, he seems to have grown worse these days, she thought.'Adrian, you did promise me, you would think about my request to go home to my parents till the pup is born!' she asked him one day, after he eased out of her. The encounter had been very rough and inconsiderate of her feelings. She had been scared for her baby all through the time he kept thrusting savagely into her, as though in renewed punishment for something she had done,not unlike previously. She could take it before but not now that she had something to lose.'Are you going to force me to give you an answer now?' he asked furiously. 'In short, I have changed my mind. You are no
The screams had not gone unheard. Adrian had been having a meeting with his guards when he heard it. He rushed towards the sound to find both Iris and Roxy on the floor, unconscious and Wendy crying. There was blood everywhere!'Doctor, Adrian screamed. 'Come here quick!There was a flurry of activities as the ladies were laid down on the bed and the doctor started treatment immediately.'Do all you can to save my baby!' Adrian commanded. Tears were in his eyes. There was just so much blood and Iris was looking as pale as death. He could not afford to lose his baby and he realised with a pang that he did not want to lose Iris as well.Andrew rushed in. 'What's going on?' he asked when he saw the two females on the bed unconscious.When no one answered, he went to Adrian and shook his shoulders. Adrian was still in a state of shock. 'What happened, Adrian?'He was still shaking him when Alpha Sylvester and Millicent rushed into the room.'What happened here?' Alpha King, Sylvester bell
