I THOUGHT HARD and long about what Rosita and Beta Sebastian told me while waiting for Alpha Lucas to wake up. Hearing those things from them made me realize that I should give all my trust to Alpha Lucas despite the fact that it will be a rough way for us before we finally reach the goal we were both aiming for. Even though there is a big chance that it won’t be a happy ending for both of us.I sighed as I held his hand. He’s starting to heal his wounds faster while I hold his hand. A healer came here earlier but he told me that Alpha Lucas would heal on his own. He just needs to rest and it would be better if I were there beside him. Instead of just holding his hand, I lay down beside him on the bed. I wrapped my arms around his waist as I held his hand while looking into his face. Alpha Lucas has done too much for me. He saved me… I should trust him.I fell asleep while waiting for him to wake up. I just woke up when I felt a warm hand caressing my cheeks. As soon as I opened my
“IRIS.”I was busy looking through the mirror, watching the mark behind my shoulder when Alpha Lucas went out of the bathroom and saw what I was doing. I turned to his direction and saw him wearing a towel in the lower part of his body.“Hmm?” I asked.“About what happened last night… I think you should know,” he said.“What is it?” His face looked serious as he walked towards me. Even though I’ve seen him naked multiple times, I don't know why I still feel awkward whenever he is naked. He was just wearing a towel and his crotch was visible through the thin cotton and it’s really bothering me.“I have a hunch that it’s Alpha Morris’ doing. It seemed like he’s giving me a warning,” Lucas spilled what he wanted to say.My lips parted as I was taken aback from what he said. “Why do you think so?”He sighed and held my shoulders, we both looked at the mirror and watched our reflections.“Because I saw anger in his eyes when I talked to him yesterday. I saw that he knew something, his eag
I DIDN'T KNOW what to say as I turned to look at Samantha. I saw the curiosity in her eyes as she glanced between Taylor and me."Why would we tell you? It’s a secret between us!" Taylor replied boldly to her.I remained silent, keeping my head down because I didn't want her to see my face. I didn't want her to see that I was scared. The truth was, I was still afraid because Samantha held a high rank among the Lycans and could easily disrupt our plan with Alpha Lucas."So, you’ve already learned to talk back to me like that, Taylor? Where did you learn that? From that breeder?" Samantha said angrily.It was only then that I lifted my gaze when I heard the sound of the heels of her stiletto approaching quickly towards me. She quickly grabbed my hair and pulled me.“You b*tch! You’re brainwashing her innocent mind!” Samantha said and gripped onto my hair tightly.“Samantha! Stop what you’re doing!” Taylor said and tried to stop Samantha but it seemed like she was eager to pull off all m
MY BODY IS trembling in fear right after Elder Greg said those. Alpha Lucas and I had plans, and it seems those plans may change now that this has happened. My heart raced as Alpha Lucas walked towards Elder Greg. He held his head high as if to say he wasn't swayed by whatever the elder was saying."Who's the Alpha in this pack, Elder Greg?" Lucas asked. His voice feared me, and I believe everyone here does too.I saw the nervousness on Elder Greg's face, but he quickly hid it."I haven't forgotten that you are the Alpha. But it seems you have forgotten something very important, Alpha Lucas. You’re the Alpha, you should be setting an example, but what are you doing? You have fallen for a mere werewolf!""Tell me, what's wrong with falling in love with a werewolf?"Elder Greg scoffed. “Ah, so you admit to it?”Alpha Lucas sighed before answering. “I was going to tell this to the royal council later but I guess it’s better to tell this to you now. I don’t want to hide it anymore. I am t
“NO, IRIS! YOU will be in danger if you go back there alone!” Alpha Lucas said while glaring at me. “Knowing that Morris’ sudden death is questionable, I can’t let you go there! What if he was murdered?”“Not just that, Iris. A possibility that Morris was murdered by his own son,” Sebastian added. I shook my head. “I don’t think they’ll do that. Asher might be bad but he’s affectionate with his father. Felix won’t be able to do that either!”Lucas held both my hands and helped me stand up before he spoke. “Iris, you are too innocent in this kind of world, I can’t let you do something that’s so risky. You are not ready enough for something like this.”“When am I going to be ready enough, then? When you’re already removed as the Alpha of your pack because of me?” I asked.“That won’t happen—”“How sure are you?” I didn’t let him finish what he was about to say. Then I turned to Sebastian. “Tell me, is it really hard to replace him as an Alpha? You are a Beta and your grandfather is the
THE CAR CONTINUED driving in the deep forest after I bid my goodbye to Alpha Lucas. As we got near the highway on the way to the Crescent Moon Pack, my heart was beating so fast. I didn’t know why I’m feeling this strange but I felt suspicious until…“Beta Sebastian? Why did we change direction? This is not the way to Crescent Moon Pack,” I said. Because he maneuvered the car in a different direction which made me confused.“Don’t worry, it’s a short cut,” he said. “Here, drink this water first so you can relax. I know that you’re nervous.”Sebastian gave me a bottle of water which I gladly took from him. I smiled and opened the bottle before drinking into it. I am really nervous. At least the water lightened up my nervousness.“Thank you!” I handed him back the water before I turned my direction outside the forest. The car continued until I felt something wrong with me.I held my head as I saw my surroundings became blurry. When I turned to look at Sebastian, I saw him looking at the
FROM BEFORE, I feared Brittany too much. However, as I’ve already experienced a lot of harsh words from different people around me, I finally was able to ignore the feeling of being insulted by someone. I realized that those were just words, they won’t kill me. If I let those words consume me, it will only end up piercing my heart and mind.Instead of denying it, I pretended that everything that Felix told me was true. I pretended that I still love him and I would love to give our love a second chance just like what he wanted. After talking to Felix, we walked out of the room that I am occupying. He was holding my hand tightly as we continued descending the stairs. Everyone greeted us as they bowed their heads. I thought, if I was born in this mansion, would it be the same as this? We continued walking our way to the dining hall and when we finally entered, we were greeted by more maidservants. But what caught my attention was Asher and Brittany, sitting next to each other. Brittany
EVERYONE ARE BUSY with their own jobs. The corridor was empty, and it seemed like Felix didn’t make a guard follow me because he trusts me. With all the courage that I built within me, I went out of my bedroom when afternoon came. Then I searched for Alpha Conrad’s former bedroom. I didn’t expect that the mansion was huge and it was hard to find his room, but after an hour of searching for it, I was able to find it at the end of the second floor. Quickly, I tried to open the door but it was locked. With the hairpin I had on my hair, I used it to try unlocking it. But because it was my first time doing it, it became harder than I thought until I heard someone walking near where I was standing.“Have you heard that we will be having an omega as the Luna of pack?” One of the maidservants asked.Quickly, I hide myself in a thick marble near me.“Yes! I heard that the omega she-wolf was Alpha Felix’s mate but Alpha Morris made him reject her,” the other maid servant said.“I heard that to
I NEVER THOUGHT about the consequences of marrying an Alpha. I myself was an Alpha and I was also busy with everything around the pack but I never thought that our first week of being married would be this difficult. In the first seven days, we only got to spend only one night together on our honeymoon. The rest was all work for him, and it’s not nice. We planned to spend a week for ourselves before resuming our jobs but Lucas has to take care of something urgent. All I could do was to wait for him to get home…However, the honeymoon week is done and I have to go back to my pack and do my job.“Can’t you go back to your pack once Alpha Lucas gets home?” Rosita asked. She was currently preparing my breakfast this early because I had to go back to the Crescent Moon Pack and do my job as an Alpha. Van called me last night telling me that there are files I should sign by tomorrow.“I can’t. If he has a lot of things to do, I also have files filling up on my desk right now,” I answered.
AFTER LUCAS MADE me reach my peak, he held my hand and lifted me up, making me sit on the bed.“What are we going to do?” I asked.“Ready yourself, Iris,” he answered. His eyes were full of lust when he said that. Then he pecked another kiss on my lips before he knelt in front of me. I swallowed the lump in my throat when I realized what he wanted me to do. Right then, he unbuttoned his slacks and slowly unzipped it before he pushed it down together with his underwear. My mouth dropped upon seeing his huge c0ck in front of me. It isn’t my first time seeing it, but it is my first time that I will do this to him!He held his c0ck and slowly jerked it and the size seemed to double! He is now rock hard and is ready for me. The tip of it was a bit blushing and hard and I think that was the only thing I could put in my mouth.“Open your mouth, Iris,” he said.As I looked up at him, I saw his eyes sparkling in excitement. I shouldn’t disappoint him, so I moved towards it and just as he aske
WHILE THEY WERE getting me ready, I couldn't help but feel nervous. Who wouldn't be nervous in this kind of situation? I couldn't believe that all of this was happening today. I had no idea this would happen because, for the past six months, I had focused on my work as an Alpha to divert my attention. To avoid thinking about the situation between Lucas and me. It turns out, everything I did only helped him hide the surprise he was preparing for me!“You are nervous, Iris!” Taylor went to me after she was done dressing up while I’m still not done with my hair. Taylor is wearing a pink simple gown while her long wavy hair is down on her shoulders. Luckily she was just a girl and they only had to put on a light make-up on her baby face.“Who wouldn’t be nervous about this? Everything went so fast!” I answered, pouting my lips. “Alpha, please don’t move or your hair would be messy,” the hairdresser said.I pouted my lips even more, trying to avoid myself from moving so the hairdresser m
AS SOON AS I heard the news from Claudia, I quickly left the mansion and went to the Silver Moon Pack to check on him. I was so eager to get in there right away that I kept on asking the driver to drive faster. It has been six months since Lucas started fighting for that law to change and up until now, it hasn’t changed. He is the Alpha and I believe if he forces it, he will have the power to do something and change it. But then, it has been over half of a year and he still hasn't changed it! I couldn’t believe that the councils in their pack were so inconsiderate!The drive went fast just as I wanted it to happen. As the driver stopped in front of the castle, I quickly pushed the door open without waiting for the driver to open it for me. Everyone was surprised when I ascended the stairs quickly, even though they were stopping me, asking me to stop rushing or else I might trip and fall downstairs.“Alpha Iris! Stop rushing!” Claudia shouted behind me.“I need to see him right now!”
AFTER THE MAID ran away, I took the bouquet with me and went back inside of the office. I settled down the roses on the sofa before I sat beside it and read the card. Iris,I hope you like the roses. If it’s alright with you, can we talk again? I have important things to tell you.Love, Lucas.I bit my lower lip when I read the word ‘love’ at the end of his letter. Why did he say that word? Now I imagined him saying that! I rolled my eyes and instead of standing up to go outside, I took my phone and dialed his number. However, he’s not answering the call.For the third time that I am calling him, he’s still not answering so I ended up standing up and stomping my feet to go out and walk out of the mansion to get there. Because he wasn’t answering my calls, I had to ask the guards where he was. They said he was in the garden so I went there and saw him sitting on the bench while looking at the sky full of stars.The moon is crescent and bright while the breeze of the air makes the mome
EVER SINCE THAT Lucas left, I kept pacing back and forth inside of my office. I know I had a lot of work today as it was my first day and the pending job from the past Alphas was brought to me, but I really can’t stop overthinking.Hearing Lucas’ explanation about what happened made me think that Samantha spiked Lucas’ drink that night and I also believe that Lucas thought of that as well. I could see in his eyes that it is also what he was thinking however, he refused to say it out loud. The question I have been thinking since then was… does he acknowledge the fact that there must be foul play here? And if he did, then why is he not saying any word about it then?A knock on the door’s office made me stop from walking. As soon as I told him to come, the door opened and Van entered.“Alpha, how was your first day?” he asked. “Well, I never thought it was boring,” I answered. “You haven’t started yet?” He squinted his eyes as if he was suspecting me. And I know that I can’t deny it t
IrisI CLEARLY REMEMBERED that Lucas was the one who carried me from the garden towards my bedroom last night. I found comfort in his arms while he carried me to the point that I tucked him with me even after he laid me on the bed. All my anger towards him suddenly disappeared, all that I think was the fact that he was with me. That he was finally with me in the bed and I don’t want to let him go.Now that I woke up from last night, I was relieved that he wasn’t with me. That it was all just a dream because what am I going to do if I wake up that all of those were real?I sat on the bed as I massaged my temple. At least I don’t have a hangover… As soon as I stood up from the bed, a knock interrupted me. Thinking that it was just a maidservant or Van who’s just going to wake me up, I answered.“Come in.”The door opened and I was surprised who came in. My jaw dropped as soon as I laid my eyes on the man who entered. He was holding a tray with breakfast.“Good morning,” he greeted, the
Lucas“IF SHE TRULY trusts you, she will listen to you. It has been two weeks, I believe her anger subsides and you can explain it to her now,” Taylor said. “I believe she’ll understand you. Iris is an understanding woman.”Just like what Taylor said, it has been two weeks since everything was ruined just because of a single mistake. A mistake that I never thought I would make. I know that I won’t do that to any other woman, especially Samantha. But I couldn’t remember anything. Samantha told me that we did something, that we had sex that night but I don’t remember even kissing her. Something strange because when I woke up the next morning, Samantha and I were both naked on my bed. The councils wanted me to marry Samantha for what we’ve done, they are forcing me. That’s why I’m not coming out of my castle for two weeks now. I don’t want to see anyone from the council and pack elders. I’m still thinking.“Brother, I can’t stand Samantha lurking around the castle again. She acts like s
I DIDN’T KNOW how many times I sighed as I sipped on the wineglass I was holding. Even the hours passed by so quickly that I didn’t notice it was already six in the evening. The guests are starting to leave and I bid them goodbye, thanking them for attending the ceremony.When I thought everyone had already left, I was surprised to see my father… He lowered his head towards me when he noticed I was looking at him.“Father…” I called him.Although he isn’t my real father, I am used to calling him that way. Even though he didn’t treat me better, he’s still the one who raised me.“You can just call me, Henry. I know that it’s hard for you to call me that way even though we both know you are not my daughter,” he said. I nodded. “Yes. That’s true. Do you need anything?”“Nothing…” he answered. “I just want to apologize for what I did to you before. I know that you are a kind girl but I refused to acknowledge you. Simply because you are someone else’s daughter.”“Do you know that I'm Alpha
