Later that day, I spent the rest of my time in the room with Damien. We didn’t talk much—I wasn’t a big fan of conversation anyway. Besides, I was having yet another argument with my wolf in my head.

‘Stop fighting the pull between you two. I know you can feel it because I can feel it too. If you leave our mate, you will never stop regretting it,’ my wolf whined.

‘Leave me alone. Not only is this the best choice for us, but it’s also better for this pack—and for my mate. I refuse to bring my problems here and be the downfall of anyone. I don’t know how to be a Luna, and I know I will never be more than a mere rogue to him.’

My wolf was the only one I ever opened up to. She knew my deepest secrets, my fears—because she was a part of me. We shared thoughts and emotions, and that built an unshakable trust between us. Even though we fought often, it was usually because I was stubborn. And I hated that she was always right.

"What are you thinking about so hard, flower?"

    "Well, I have to clear up the fact that you are indeed my mate, but... I'm going to need you to come with me," he said hesitantly. I crossed my arms. "I have no interest in meeting your parents." "Yes, I'm aware," he sighed. "But I can't just tell them you're my mate without introducing you to them." "What part of 'I don't want to' do you not understand?" I snapped. He groaned, rubbing his face in frustration before looking up at me with an irritated expression. "I don't understand why you're being so difficult right now. I'm not saying you have to be in love with me—they just want to meet you." I hesitated, lowering my gaze. "What if they don't like me?" I muttered under my breath. His surprised expression told me he had heard me loud and clear. "You're worried my parents won't like you? Where is this coming from?" I scratched the back of my head, shrugging. "What if they order my execution or something?" His laughter boomed through the room, startling me. He doubled over, w

    She was a tall woman—not as tall as Damien or his father, but still quite tall. Strands of silver ran through her brown hair, yet her face showed no signs of aging. Her skin had a youthful glow, and there was something warm and kind about her presence.As I studied her features, I noticed that both Damien and Danielle took after their mother. Her kind blue eyes, strong jawline, and delicate yet defined features were reflected in them.His father, however, was a stark contrast. He stood against the wall in the living room, watching me with an intense, unreadable gaze. There was nothing warm about him. Every now and then, I glanced his way, only to find him still glaring at me with intimidating eyes."Iris is such a beautiful name! It definitely suits you!" his mother squealed excitedly.As she pulled Damien aside, I noticed his father approaching. He leaned in close, his voice a low warning only meant for me."I'll be watching you closely, rogue." He emphasized the last word with disda

    "No, I don’t have to watch how I talk to you because you are not my Alpha. I’m still a rogue, and you have no control over me," I hissed, stepping closer and jabbing my finger into his chest.Damien’s eyes darkened as he grabbed my wrist, yanking my hand away from him. He leaned in until our faces were mere inches apart."If I had a choice, I wouldn’t pick someone like you to be my mate. An emotionally closed-off rogue wouldn’t even be my last choice."I already knew that. Someone like him would never willingly choose someone like me as a mate. But hearing him say it still hurt.It hurt deep.A sharp ache settled in my chest, spreading through me like wildfire. Even my wolf whimpered at his words. Without another thought, I turned and stormed out of the room, desperate to get away from him. I ran through the packhouse doors and into the open air, my vision blurring with unshed tears."Iris, wait!" I heard Damien call after me, but I ignored him.I shifted into my wolf and bolted into

    I opened my eyes and realized I was still in wolf form. Looking around, I suddenly noticed a midnight-black wolf lying next to me, watching my every movement. It raised its head and whined when it saw I was awake. I immediately recognized it as Damien’s wolf. He jerked his head in the direction of the pack as if telling me we should go back. I nodded and got up.When I looked into his eyes, I saw hurt and regret swirling within them. They say the eyes are windows to the soul, revealing true emotions.We walked side by side back to the pack. As we moved through the trees, pack members rushed toward us, bombarding us with questions. Damien growled loudly, silencing them instantly.The moment we reached the pack house, we shifted back into our human forms, and someone handed us blankets to cover ourselves. As soon as we entered Damien’s room, he began frantically apologizing."Iris, I am so sorry. The moment I said those words, I wanted to take them all back. I was out all night searchin

    Shopping Trip "When we met, you tackled me and headbutted me in the side, so now we're even," I grinned. Danielle giggled. "Come on, you two, the mall is this way." Once we got to the mall, Danielle did most of the shopping for me. I was measured, fitted, and forced to try on so many outfits. We even made Blake come into the stores that made him uncomfortable. "I think it would be best if I waited outside while you guys shopped for underwear," Blake said uncomfortably. I giggled and pulled him into the store anyway. After our shopping spree—where Blake ended up paying for everything—we left with way more bags than I expected. "Now, hopefully, you don’t shred all of these clothes," Danielle said, narrowing her eyes at me. I laughed, realizing how much I had enjoyed my day with Danielle and Blake. I was actually starting to like Blake—strictly in a friendly way, of course. We decided to stop by a milkshake shop since I had never actually had a milkshake before. Before w

    "Are you planning on giving me a birthday present? Because I have something in mind."Damien wiggled his eyebrows at me.I laughed and pushed him away. "Ew, no, Damien. I'm not ready for that yet."He rested his head on my stomach as we lay on the bed together.I had to admit, these past few days had been enjoyable. The bond between Damien and me had grown stronger, and we’d gotten closer with each passing day, solidifying our attraction to each other. Damien had agreed that I wouldn’t have to be introduced to the pack until I was absolutely sure I wanted to join—and be marked by him.Since I didn’t know anyone else, I had been spending a lot of time with Danielle and Blake. They were the only people I could truly consider friends when Damien wasn’t around. Surprisingly, Blake and I had grown closer.Of course, due to Damien’s jealousy, I was only allowed to be around Blake when either Danielle or Damien himself was present."You remind me of someone," Damien said, tracing circles on

    I was released from the hospital hours later, with Damien tailing my every move. There wasn’t much else for me to do besides rest, so I ended up back in his room.For the most part, I ignored Damien, my thoughts consumed by the rogue attack. Had I been specifically targeted, or was it purely random? How had they even dared to enter pack territory alone, thinking they could escape unscathed?"Iris, listen to me when I'm talking to you," Damien’s Alpha tone boomed through the room, catching me off guard."What?!" I snapped, irritated."You need to reconsider joining the pack for your own safety. This attack should be a wake-up call for you," he said."I told you before, and I’ll say it again—no, I will not join your pack. I’m not a pup anymore, Damien. I can take care of myself," I argued.He sighed and looked away.I had expected more of a fight, honestly.Instead, he walked over to the bed and sat beside me, the mattress dipping under his weight. As he raised his hand to my cheek and

    "You're lying. Damien said he's never been in a serious relationship before," I scoffed.Jade smirked. "Looks like your little mate is lying to you, then."With that, she turned and walked away.Why would he lie to me about something like that? Was he afraid I would do something reckless if I found out the truth?"You wouldn’t, but I will," my wolf growled angrily."Hey, are you ready? You've just been standing there looking confused."I snapped out of my thoughts and looked up to see Damien watching me.I nodded and walked over to him. We silently made our way back to the pack house, hand in hand.But before we could enter, I stopped him."Why did you lie to me?" I asked calmly.Damien turned to me, confusion flashing across his face. "Lie about what?""You lied to me about Jade." My voice remained steady, but inside, my wolf was seething at the thought of Damien ever claiming someone else as his own.Damien sighed. "Listen, I didn’t want to upset you, so I had to lie."I pulled my h

    Damien’s POV"WHERE IS HE?!" I roared as I burst through the front door.My mother and Danielle jumped up from the couch, startled."Damien, you could have knocked," my mother scowled."Where is Curtis?!" I demanded, using my Alpha tone.I watched as my sister flinched and bowed her head, but my mother only glared harder."Don’t you dare use that tone on me! I was once the Luna of this pack and dealt with your father’s tone every damn day. Don’t even try it!" she screeched.Suddenly, a sharp pain tore through my chest.It felt like someone was trying to rip my heart out.I collapsed to the floor, gripping my chest, the agony unbearable."Damien! What's wrong?!" Danielle cried, rushing to my side."Iris... Iris has been captured. And I think Dad had something to do with it," I whimpered.Mom froze, her face turning pale as a ghost."Your father?" she whispered."Yes," I gasped out.Without hesitation, she helped me to my feet.She and Danielle supported me as we hurried back to the pac

    Damien’s POV(When the fight breaks out on pack territory)"Chase, get Iris to safety. Once she's secure, gather all the women and children and bring them into the basement. Keep them protected," I ordered, rushing out of the house, passing him and Iris.Everything around me felt like it was crashing down.Lillian was captured.Iris was driving herself mad with worry.Now rogues were attacking us.I didn’t want my children being born into a world like this.Children.I'm going to be a father.Iris is going to be a mother.When this is all over, I’m going to propose to her.I’ll give Iris the wedding of her dreams.I’ll spoil her rotten, the way she deserves.Iris deserved better than all of this.I didn’t understand why this chaos surrounded her, but I knew one thing for sure—she deserved the world.I tore out of the house and shifted quickly into my midnight black wolf, sprinting into the forest toward the sounds of battle.The air was thick with the stench of rogues.There were too

    "Ah, yes. Don't you remember this place?" Cole said, smiling cruelly. "It's your old pack. And right there"—he pointed to a spot where wildflowers now grew—"is where I killed your parents.""If Lucie hadn't betrayed me and decided to run off with that fucking Alpha, this would’ve gone a lot smoother," he added with a bitter chuckle."My sweet Lucie was the love of my life. We wanted to run away together, be free... until that Alpha took her from me. But now, I have you—and no one will stop me," he said as he leaned in, trying to kiss my forehead.I recoiled, trying to move as far away as possible, but with a swift motion, he pulled out the dagger and pressed it against my neck.It felt like someone had placed a burning brand against my skin, the heat searing into me."Don't fight this, Iris. Just let it happen!" he snarled.He shoved the dagger back into his pocket, and we continued walking.Ahead, I saw a large building lit up, laughter and talking drifting through the air.My stomac

    "Inject her with the wolfsbane.""She's alive, right?""Of course. I couldn’t kill her. She is my daughter-in-law, after all.""Cole will be very pleased with you."---I woke up in darkness.Panic surged through me as I looked around wildly, desperate for any source of light. I saw none.The only thing I could think to do was scream. I screamed for someone to let me out, for someone to show me the light.I heard a door creak open, and I looked up.There he stood—the man with the scar that mirrored my mother's—the one who murdered my parents, the one who captured my sister.He held a lamp in his hand, grinning down at me.I tried to rise, but heavy chains held me down."Ah, good. You're awake," he smiled, almost warmly.I glared at him with all the hatred I could muster. If looks could kill, my problems would be over."Oh, Iris, my dear. How have you been? It's been so long," he said, giving me a sickeningly loving look."Where is my sister?" I spat."Tsk, tsk, Iris. That’s no way to

    Chapter 50"Alpha, I need to examine her in the infirmary—to check how healthy the pup is," the pack doctor said urgently.Damien nodded silently and carried me up the steps.Tears welled in my eyes. I had been so selfish… I could have harmed our child. I could’ve lost everything."Damien… I’m so sorry," I whispered, voice trembling. "I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I’m losing my mind."He didn’t say anything at first. Just kept walking, his arms tight around me.Then, coldly, he spoke. "How can I forgive you when you’re putting our pup—and yourself—at risk?"His words hit harder than any blow. I began to cry, the shame settling deep into my chest. He hated me. I could feel the disappointment radiating from him."But Damien… I don’t know what to do," I whispered. "He has Lillian… and I feel everything she’s going through.""Do you want me to live the rest of my life alone?" he snapped. "Is that what you want? I’ve sent almost every warrior we have to find her, and it’s still not en

    I was chained to the wall, silver biting into my skin and burning as my body tried—and failed—to heal. The room was pitch black. No windows, no light. Just darkness. The door creaked open, and a man stepped inside—a tall figure in his thirties with jet-black hair, piercing grey eyes, and a gruesome gash across his cheek."Hello, Lillian. How nice of you to join me," he said, a twisted smile spreading across his face. He walked forward, one hand hidden behind his back."I’ve got a little surprise for you," he grinned.He raised his gloved hand, revealing a silver dagger. My heart dropped. He grabbed my face with his free hand, his grip rough and cruel."Luna, I know you can hear me. The Blood Moon is coming, and I need your true form awakened. If you won’t come willingly, I have other means to force you. Until then, your sister and I will have some fun.""Iris, I love you," Lillian whispered through the mental link, her voice shaking.Through her eyes, I watched in horror as he drove t

    I let out a playful bark, wagging my tail at Lillian. I had missed talking to her.As she stepped closer, I caught her scent—only it was different, unfamiliar. My head tilted as I tried to make sense of the change.She chuckled. "Blake and I finally mated."I let out a soft huff before playfully licking her cheek. It was hard to believe that my sister had gone from a rogue surviving in the woods to being mated to the Beta of the pack."Auntie Iry, who’s that? And why does she look like you?" Matty asked, eyeing Lillian with open curiosity.We had just arrived back at Lucie and John’s house. As Lucie helped Emma and Matty off my back, I stepped away to shift and put my clothes back on. When I returned, I noticed Matty watching Lillian with an intense, suspicious look."Matty, this is my sister, Lillian," I said, smiling as I wrapped my arms around her.Both children's eyes widened in shock."Auntie Lily!" Matty squealed before launching himself at Lillian, hugging her tightly.Lillian

    "I'm in charge, Alpha," I whispered seductively.Damien's eyes darkened with desire as he let out a low growl."Say it again," he commanded, his voice husky.I smirked but stayed silent, letting my actions speak for me. Slowly, I trailed my hands down to the waistband of his pants, unzipping them with deliberate care. I slipped them off and tossed them aside, revealing the growing need beneath his boxers. My fingers teased the waistband before finally sliding them down, freeing him.He sat up, eyes locked onto me, his breathing heavy."Put that mouth of yours to good use," he murmured, his voice rough with need.A nervous excitement fluttered inside me—I had never done this before. But I wanted to please him. Tentatively, I ran my tongue over the tip, earning a sharp intake of breath from Damien. Encouraged, I took him in deeper, my movements slow and exploratory. His groans grew louder as I picked up my rhythm, his fingers tangling in my hair.But just as I found my rhythm, Damien su

    Danielle flinched, as if just remembering the pain."It was painful," she admitted, "but I finally met my wolf! She’s so smart and funny. I can talk to her whenever I want, and she’ll never leave me. She kind of reminds me of you, Iris." She smiled brightly.Damien wrapped his arms around my waist, burying his nose into my neck."She also told me that I won’t find my mate until I’m eighteen," Danielle pouted.I giggled. "That’s because you’re of Alpha blood."She just huffed and walked back into the house."Iris, do you know who Cole is?" Damien suddenly asked.I stiffened slightly but kept my voice even. "I don’t know him personally. I only know he’s the one who killed my parents."Damien hesitated. "What were your parents like?"A small, sad smile tugged at my lips."My dad was strong and confident. He was a great Alpha—fierce, but he loved his family with all his heart. My mom… she was different. She used to be a rogue, never believed in mates—until she found my dad. She was caring
