Rupert's POV. "Iris relax." I noticed how uneasy she became when I talked about the biting and claiming, that wolves do that but maybe, she is scared that being a vampire will make the bite painful, I guess I used the wrong words, I wouldn't have used the word "bite" I would have just told her that I want to claim her. "Iris, back to earth.” I tug her hair behind her ear. “Are you okay?" I asked when I noticed that she was unusually quiet. "Rupert, I am fine, I am just thinking." "What are you thinking about?" I asked, moving my lips back to her ear, I playfully bit her ear. "Rupert, you this naughty alpha stop doing that." I blushed as she added naughty to my title, it sounded nice, naughty alpha. Oh dear goddess, thank you for blessing me with this lovely damsel, her smell, that peppermint scent that drives me insane, I never thought I could fall in love with such a fellow. Her blushing face makes me want nothing but her more. Right now, holding her makes me not just want to c
Celina's POV. "Ah!" I screamed hitting the table in my quarter. "How dare you?" I screamed, so much shattered stuff was on the floor, and my room was a mess. "No," I shouted hysterically, Russell pulled the door open, looking at my mess room. "Celina will you take it easy," Russell said, I turned and looked at him, I had no idea he was a free man now. "How do you expect me to be calm?" I asked Russell. "It's bad enough that, the pup is not his, and having a paternity test will only make him know that the pup is not his but yours." "Oh dear, you are acting so suspicious and it will only make Rupert suspicious, you should never let your guard down and this is not the way a pregnant woman is supposed to behave." I sobbed more. "Russell, you are not getting me, first of all, I drugged the alpha and have carnal knowledge of him, I practically rape him and secondly, I was fooling everyone that we are still mates even when the mate bond had been broken and now, I just told the al
Iris's POV. Rupert's voice was what woke me up the next morning, I don't know what came over him but he said we were having our claiming ceremony, later in the evening today. The claiming ball is held to announce my Luna ceremony as well, and it falls perfectly, this is a blue full moon, and I am excited about it, I will be claimed under the blue full moon. After the claiming, I decided to let Rupert know that I would like to have my pack and his merged that is if he wanted it as well and I trusted him to treat my pack members fairly. I have a few hours to also prepare, as the mate to the alpha of the Wildfang shadow pack. I do not have time, so I have to get off the bed and mindlink Drake. "Beta Drake, can you help me look for someone who can deliver a lovely gown for me?" "Oh that, Alpha Rupert had sent what you will wear at the ball." "What?" "Yes, it arrived a few minutes ago and I am sure, Cathy is on her way to bring it to you?" "Cathy, what is she doing here? I thought
Iris's POV. A sweet smile was all my lips were enjoying today, even though the preparation was short but I could feel it was going smoothly. Entering the room where my ball gown was displayed, I noticed that a diamond necklace was hanging on the mannequin, I smiled. "Beta Campbell brought this a while ago, he said Rupert asked him to bring it so he left." The diamond jewelries were sparkling and saw a letter beside the gown. "Oh, my sweet Iris. I was thinking of coming to place the necklace on your neck all by myself but on second thought, coming here, will mean locking you in the room and having my way with you but I don't want that, I want our claiming to be special. So I am sending it instead, I hope you love it. Gamma Lauren is on his way to fetch you, I will wait for you on the fifth floor the room on the left in my Pack, we will meet there before we join the others at the ball.Wait for me.Love you.""I love you too." I replied throughout the mindlink not knowing if he he
Iris's POV. "Yes, my love." I held my Head. "Why is your voice like Russell?" I asked he didn't say a word, I inhaled more, it was Rupert's scent. "Rupert, please put on the light, I am getting scared, and let's just go join the others, I could hear the music, the claiming will soon start." "Come on, let's stay for a while." He pulled my hand, it was confusing, the sound of the voice was Russell but the smell was that of Rupert, it's confusing and even his arms were on my wrist didn't give me that spark. "Iris, you have to stop inhaling that substance, this is not Rupert, is..." Before Sally could finish her words, something like smoke filled the room and my body temperature grew hot, I don't know but I felt some sensation run through my veins, if I didn't get out of here, I am afraid, my body might no longer be mine. I jerk my hand off Russell, now it's obvious the man is Russell, not Rupert, what the heck did he want from me, I rushed to the door, grabbing its knob, my concentr
Rupert's POV. I was at the rooftop with beta Mason when I saw Gamma Lauren driving in with my mate, my eyes fixed on the figure that is dressed like the goddess, People say the goddess comes in wolf form but I never did agree with each day watching Iris, I might be shifting ground and eating my words, Iris is really a goddess. "Stop blushing, Soon she will be all yours and I know the claiming ball will not end before you lock her in your room?" "Mason, I am not going to do that, and why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be with your pregnant mate?" "She knows that I am your beta, and today is the day, you are supposed to claim your mate, I should be by your side." "Oh now, as the alpha of this pack, I am letting you off the hook. You should go to Ariana, I don't want my cousin to feel her mate doesn't care about her and if I need anything, I have beta Drake and Campbell." He tittered as I mentioned Campbell. "What is funny?" "Campbell who is busy with Cathy, the fact that you
Rupert's POV "The guard said they didn't see the woman's face but they said, he told them, it's an emergency, that the she-wolves got hurt and need medical attention?" "That scumbag" I growled. How dare Russell, after hurting my mate, he dare to touch my mate and even bring her out of the pack, he should pray hard that I found no spot on my mate or I will skin him alive and feed his body to vultures. Vernon wasn't saying anything, he was going crazy, he was whining and growling, and I couldn't control him in my head. "Alpha Rupert, can you smell her wolf, probably that could give us a lead?" "I can't fucking smell her and all Vernon is doing in my head is whining and he is restless, I just fucking feel that, she is in danger." "That is bad" "Why not we shift into our wolf so we could..." Beta Drake said "No way." Beta Mason yelled, we all moved our gaze to him. "I don't think, alpha Rupert will be able to control his wolf, he is going crazy and he might go rampage, you don'
Rupert's POV. Celina is a demon, even though she had mentioned that Russell had taken her to his mother's pack, she didn't dare give the full information that I needed. "How did he take her away from the pack?" My Iris, I know will never agree to go with Russell, if he is fair to her. "Russell drugged Iris with hallucinating..." I couldn't hold it anymore my strong hand fell on her jaw, the pain was visible in her eyes, though I was trying hard not to strangle her to death. "Tell me, the specific place?" "I told you, dark wood pack, his mother's Pack, that was all he told me." My gaze was cold, it was like ice. "Oh Celina, you wouldn't like me, if Iris had lost a strand of hair, I would make your life miserable and as for your love, if I were you, I would mindlink him and tell him to return my Iris." With that, I left without looking at Celina, Beta Mason, Delta Campbell, Gamma Lauren, and Iris Beta left the room with me, I could hear the loud screaming Celina, the guards know
Iris's POV It didn't take long five years had already passed since we had our pup, I didn't have another pup and so did Cathy, Ariana, and Celina, it was like, the goddess had destined the four of us to have just one pup. And to bring up these pups as siblings from one parent not from different parents. As I stood on the rooftop I watched the four pups playing around gave me joy, These five years were a blessing for me and Rupert, we were surrounded by people who love us, from Mason to Campbell, down to Lauren and even my beta Drake that was the only one not related to Rupert by blood. And as for Celina, I couldn’t call her a friend or enemy even though I couldn't tell if Celina had grown to love me or just accepting the fact that we were stuck together but she is not as hostile as before, now she is a bit friendly, I don't expect her to forgive me and open her hands wild for me, after all, my existence was what led to his pup's father death. I, Ariana, Cathy, and Celina were healt
Iris's POVThe moment we shut the door of the bathroom, I immediately grabbed Rupert's collar pushed him against the closed door, and desperately kissed him. Rupert was taken unaware, he wasn't expecting that I would pounce on him and my move was so bold, although I was overwhelmed with Rupert's words back there. I needed him and he had smelled our arousal. I did that for a few minutes, when I pulled from that quick kiss, I was already panting and Rupert was just standing there blankly, those strength where did they come from, I know I am no longer that weak she-wolf but the strength, I just possess wasn't the one I had back then. "Are you feeling better now?" He asked, caressing my cheeks, I grabbed his hand, pressing it more on my cheeks. "You promised to spend your eternity with me right?" He nodded. "You promised to love me not because we are fated?" He nodded again. "You promised to be a good mate and father to me and our pup right?"Yes, and I am not going back on my words."
Iris's POV Rupert and I were brought to the porch that wasn't too far from the garden, where the party was going on, it was beautifully decorated and the light and flowers made it stand out, Lauren and Alice were relieved now it's I and Rupert to bear the punishment. As we stood there, everything seemed lovely and romantic, it was like a couple going on a romantic date, my heart fluttered with just the atmosphere, it was cool and welcoming. "Why do I feel that you two are cheating? This can't be punishment?" Cathy was the first to complain. "Tsk, baby, we should lose too," Mason said to Ariana. "What do you think our punishment will be?" Ariana asked. "Probably, let's eat each other face, that way we could skip the rest of the game." Former alpha Oscar was forced to laugh at the childishness of this naughty beta, as if Mason's words weren't enough, he pulled Ariana's hand and kissed her knuckles. As the laughter died off, the guard started the next game for the remaining c
Iris's POV.Oh Cathy, always saying things, she doesn't even though if the young lady was just Lauren's fling, but I doubt, Lauren will not have bring her here, if she is just his fling. The young lady finally introduced himself as Alice and then the party took off It was getting so late at night. One of the guards, took to the stage after every one of us had sat with our mate, except Celina that is not with her mate but former alpha Oscar was sitting close to her, to make her feel comfortable while former Luna Oscar was sitting close to the crib even though the four pups were sleeping. "Let the game Begin?" The guards said. The first game begins, with the guards giving instructions, while the omega passed a sheet of paper and pen to the females, we are to write the words that our partners whispered to us. Of course, it will not be easy to get the words written but we will try especially with the loud music going on. "No cheating on the part of any females, that may lead to instan
Iris's POVNow the news of the alpha pup has spread in the Pack and my beloved Rupert wasn't joking when he said that he is having a party to announce his heir and with the words of former alpha Oscar, it only means that he also approved of Todd as the next Alpha in line. After the alpha presented pup Todd to the pack members, the rest was fun and lively, with music and a lot of drinks and food for those pack members, and the omega was not left out, Rupert did a good job of putting this in place within a short period. When I thought the party was over that was when the realization dawned on me that this was just the beginning, Rupert asked that I dress up and also pup Todd change into something else. This time, the day was already getting darker and the moon was almost in the sky giving us light, the second part was held in the garden of our castle, it just had a few tables and chairs and that meant this was just for the family. Beta Mason and female beta Ariana were the first to
Iris's POVIt seemed as if the last days of my pregnancy were drawing near, the more I craved food and Rupert, but now, I am a bit able to control my arousal, so Rupert doesn't feel obligated to satisfy me, some nights, I pray so hard not to jump on him and to think I feel so big, around Ariana that is nursing her pup, Mason and Ariana called him, Adrian while Celina's pup's name is Ivan and yes, I forgot, Cathy already has her pup, it's also a male, she called him Cameron, I thought I was going to have my pup before hers but it turns out to be the other way round. I was the only buffalo left, as I play with Ariana's pup, my face goes sour. "Do I look fat?" I asked Ariana. She studied my facial expressions for some time then she voiced out. "You look curvaceous." "Which means I am fat?" My face darkened more. 'They are not the same thing." She tried to find the right words but they seemed to have flied out of the window. "You are trying to be nice, I know I am fat." My voice wasn
Iris's POVThere are some things that don’t change, like the love Rupert had for me and the hatred Celina had for me, those two are constant, no matter how hard I tried we always ended up having a bitter conversation, and Rupert on the other hand is making the days that we spent together a memorable days. Things were going well between me and Rupert and the pack members, also love him. The way he treated them and also changed a few things that weren't right, beta Drake and beta Mason were a great help to him. Mason has adjusted to his new creature and he is no longer feeling bad about it, I bet now, he is even happy that he is now a hybrid beta. Mason is happy also and he is putting things in place for his beloved pups, we don't know our pup yet, we are only hoping that it will end up either a male or a female, Ariana wanted a male because she said my pup will need a big brother if my pup turned out to be a female and Cathy, she doesn't have a choice, she loves both sexes and will be
Iris's POV. I never thought this day was going to come, where we are going to finally have the two-pack merge and my Luna coronation, although Rupert seems to be happy I know deep down he is worried and bothered. I watched him as the omega helped him groom for the ceremony. "Is everything alright?" I asked, he raised his head and looked at me "Everything is fine." He forced a smile, I gestured for the maid to leave us as I moved closer to Rupert. The omega didn't think twice before leaving us, I cupped his face and made him look at me, I understood that he was worried that he might not be a good alpha to both Pack, but to me, he would, he had been doing well for the past months, I am sure he will. "I know you will be the best alpha to both Pack." He smiled also cupping my face. "With you by my side, I am sure that will come true." He kissed my forehead. "Of course, I will always be by your side," I said putting every other thing left to prepare him for the big day in place. I
Ariana's POV Although I wanted to stay longer with Iris, I needed to go home, and Mason even though through the training he looks calm, I don't know the turn of events if we went behind closed doors, will he not distance himself from me, would he show me the door? This thought was what was on my head, as I watched his hand on mine, while we made our way to our quarter. Once we arrived at our quarter, what I was scared of was what was about to happen, Mason tried to free his hand from mine and leave but I grabbed him back, hugging him, with my hand wrapped around him, and didn't let go. I could feel Mason hold his breath. "Breathe, Mason breathe." He lowers his gaze and looks at me. "Thank you for agreeing to go with Rupert and Iris and thank you for holding my hand all through our walk home. I have fun and the pup loves it." "I am glad you did and sorry..." "Will you stay beside me too, I missed you, our pup missed you, he is longing for his father. I smiled sweetly at him, ev
