The sun shone so brightly, the cool Hawaiian breeze rustled the tree leaves and iced fresh fruit drinks were simply the cherry on top. One week ago, Dom gave official orders for the wedding rituals to begin after the official announcement of his wedding, which was supposed to span over a whole month. They needed to get it all done and over with because when Freddie had led a team back to Y's island to scavenge what was left and get a better idea of what he had been doing for centuries, he revealed that Y, as expected, hadn't died of the wound Dom had given him and had succeeded to escape along with most of the valuable stuff. This meant Y was at large and very vengeful. No one could predict what was going on in that psychopath's head but they knew that since his plan of killing Dom and Iris didn't go as planned, he was doubtlessly quite vindictive and malicious. They decided to tighten the security and quicken the wedding, thus quickening their crowning. Thus they had mutually decid

Iris sat re-thinking about her conversation with Lily, just a few hours ago, that had brought her to Dom's room that night. "Nobody's going to tell you anything, Iris, no matter how hard you try!" said Lily to Iris that evening as a troubled Iris was walking barefoot on the beach sand. Iris sighed, "What am I supposed to do? Lily, I am so confused, and seriously, I am a little hurt! Why won't anybody just tell me the whole truth? I am not made of clay, I won't crumble under the weight of the truth! I have survived Y. There isn't much else that can faze me anymore. And I believe the truth is what I deserve at this point. I mean, I am about to be a member of this family. How am I supposed to be a part of this family whose members don't even trust me with the truth? I feel like an outsider with all these secrets." Lily nodded understandingly and rubbed her back in a soothing manner, just like her therapist used to do when Lily felt chaotic due to her un-synced Dragon. "I know how you

~ Trigger Warning! ~ The following chapter consists of mentions of attempted rape. Reader discretion is recommended. Dom had remained silent for a while now and Iris thought maybe he had gone back to sleep but found him staring at nothing on the dragon-painted ceiling. She tried again, with a different approach, "The first time he had gotten me banished from the sacred temple, he was not content with my simple banishment. Like banishment wasn't enough of a punishment in his eyes, so he had me found, lured, and captured in such a way that no one suspected him for over a century, and by that time there was no one to put him in his place. I-uh, I spent the next eight, nine decades in magically-fortified-cemented walls built for animals, on an operation table being cut open daily and injected with so many potions and chemicals. For the first couple of decades, they would take me from my cell to the operation theatre and back once they were done with me for the time being, but then the

"You are not fat, but this dress makes you look like it." "Lily! This is the eighth dress that you are finding fault in." "You don't get married every day! Now, go back and try the chiffon one." Iris rolled her eyes but took the ninth wedding dress Lily was holding out for her to go and try out. She never really had friends, so little things were so uncommon for her. Ever since Lily and Sussane came into her life, Iris realized what it meant to be a girl. Before, she had neither time nor money to enjoy life. Now, she had friends to go shopping with and an Alpha's credit card to spoil her. The feeling of doing something for herself, simply for the sake of it, was exhilarating. That was the only reason why she hadn't whined as much as she was suffering due to shopping with Lily and Sussane wasn't much help either, as she sat munching fries and giggling now and then at the two girls bickering over dresses. Lily seemed over-excited, which Iris believed was because her brother was fina

Dom and Iris walked out of the bakery hand-in-hand with soft smiles decorating their faces and bright, uncertain eyes full of hope. But that is not how the cake-tasting experience had started with the cake expert, Miss Kate's untimely blunder of reminding them of Dom and Freya's wedding celebrations. Dom simply wanted to leave, the wound of Freya's death was still fresh in his memory as his nightmares contained the view of Freya's distorted monsteroid form falling into the ocean never to rise again, and Iris had to convince Dom to keep up the plan for the day with a heavy-heart of her own because unknown to Dom, she was well-aware of the reason behind his over-reaction. And as sad as it was for Dom, deep in his heart, he was aware that Freya had finally been relieved of her misery. Dom's cowardice in not being able to kill her had put her through over ten centuries. Finally, it was decided after many discrete apologies by the staff that the owner and head-baker, an aged dragon-shif

The wet sand felt soothing to their feet as Dom and Iris silently walked side-by-side barefoot along the Hawaiian beach.They had spent the last couple of hours successfully avoiding the rest of the family and the island inhabitants. Huge stones isolated the area from the rest of the island, and that is how they preferred it. They had spent the whole time talking about nothing, successfully avoiding any and every serious topic that could ruin the mood. They had seen the jaw-dropping sunset and shared a bunch of loving kisses now and then.Now darkness had enveloped them and their superhuman sight helped them to see where an average human couldn't. They had decided to head to a small place for dinner and enjoy the peace till it lasted, since from tomorrow they were supposed to be surrounded by wedding planners and lots of other stuff that needed choosing, designing, and preparing.Many parts of the rituals and ceremony were supposed to be handled by them personally, such as the wedding

Dom and Iris were having their fast food dinner when Dom finally asked, "Little Wolf, I know you have something troubling your pretty head. Please share!" Iris silently sipped her soda before nodding, "If I share, do you promise not to lie to me anymore?" Despite their unusual and unexpected encounter with Gideon Powers, the couple spent a splendid and unforgettable time together. But now, Iris was clearly preoccupied and Dom wanted to know and possibly solve her troubles. But the unexpected request with which she answered him, caught him off guard, "Of course little Wolf, when have I lied to you before?" Iris sighed, it was the time for truth and she hoped it wasn't how Lily had made it out to be. She hoped Lily had had a misunderstanding. "Dom, I just-" She still wasn't sure how to go about it and Dom pressed her hand to give her confidence. "You can ask me anything, little Wolf." But she was hesitant as she had no way to predict how the conversation might turn out. So Iris i

The following day neither Dom nor Iris made it to the breakfast table, which was alarming for all the family members, except for Lily, who had a flying suspicion about the growth of the seed she had sown. She knew the reaction would be as clear as the day whenever the conversation took place. She had done her part, now it was Gideon's part to add wood to the fire, or in this case, add a can of kerosine oil! ~ Everyone seemed restless due to the empty chair of Alpha on the table as well as Iris'. And deep down they all knew, the reason wasn't what anyone else could've expected out of the couple in love, since these grown adults were capable of controlling their passions and animals until the mating at the end of the month. This is why Lady Marie kept mind-linking Dom who had shut it off while the terrified servant had returned from Iris' room saying she had ordered to be left alone and that she wasn't hungry. Gideon stood up, as did Elijah, to go check on Dom. Gideon managed to talk
