FINN "I'm sorry, alpha Finn, I cannot do this." She said, itching the back of her neck. "Why can't you? It's non-alcoholic. If you finish it, I promise to buy you dinner for the rest of the year." I said enticingly. "No." She replied firmly. "Breakfast, lunch, dinner?" I added to my bribe. "No, thank you." "I could get you your own restaurant and then, you can hire as many people as you like. You'll be making lots of money in no time. All you have to do is finish this whole bottle of wine and it will be all yours." I studied her expression. I knew I had nailed the jackpot because she seemed to be thinking about my offer. People can easily be swayed by money, even if it means doing the thing they don't do. I've met lots of them before and after I became alpha. Even my Zaria fell for it. I believed Iris's case won't be any different. "That's a tempting offer you have there, alpha Finn, but sadly, I still won't do it. I don't drink that much and so, I won't do it." She said affir
IRIS I kept on thinking about what beta Damon meant by asking me to give alpha Finn all my blood. That night, I couldn't sleep. I kept thinking about his well-being. I was worried sick because he didn't leave in perfect shape. What if something bad had happened to him? I ended up staying awake all night. I was hopelessly tossing and turning on the bed. I needed to see the alpha. The next day at school, I saw him walking in the hallway but he walked past me without saying anything, not even answering my greeting. Did I do anything the previous day? Why was he treating me that way? I felt what he did wasn't fair. Was it because I refused to take the drink? But that shouldn't be enough to cause a problem. He freaking didn't speak to me. I got to my workplace in a sour mood. I didn't even bother speaking to Anya about the dating rumors with the new transfer kid. Yeah, I was that annoyed and infuriated. I ran like a dog just to get him good food and a drink and snubbing me was how he p
IRIS "I wonder what punishment he'll give to you. Maybe doing the janitor's work for two weeks or trimming the lawn or taking out the trash for a whole month or kitchen duty." Anya's words put fear in my heart. At first, I wasn't so scared but after meeting with her, my anxiety tripled. "By the way, Anya, I heard you're dating the exchange student. What happened to Roland?" I asked. "It's your fake dating plan, remember? He's helping me get Roland." She replied. "It's not my plan. You never discussed anything with me before taking that step. I told your brother that I'm no longer shipping that plan but you went ahead with it. Don't get me tangled up in your mess, okay? Do whatever you want but keep me out of it." I cautioned her. If any problem was to arise tomorrow, she would point fingers at me and I didn't want that. "Yes ma'am. You have nothing to do with it. Now, go face your punishment while I try and get the love of my life back." Anya patted my shoulder and walked away. S
IRIS I found myself at my workplace, sulking and regretting why I had to come out early. Truth was that I wanted to forget about what happened last night. I thought the alpha and I had already settled our differences but as he did the last time, he left without prior warning and with a squeezed face. I was trying to assemble tea and toasted bread for a customer when I was approached by one of my colleagues whom I never wanted to see; Anderson. His ugly face just had to add more sorrow to my already sorrowful day. Even if I had a chance of a happy day earlier, I was pretty sure that chance had slimmed down to zero. "Wanna hang out after work?" He offered but I shook my head. I wish he would just disappear from my sight. I finished completing the order and found my way outside. The psycho waited for me to finish and then approached me again. "You know I will have you one way or the other, right?" Anderson was leaning on the counter where Fiona worked. I only ignored him and went t
IRISMy heart skipped a beat when I heard the alpha's voice."Stay away from her." He said. I looked up at him to see an angry man. His face didn't give off how angry he was but somehow, I could feel him exuding a dangerous amount of anger.Anderson let me go immediately."I'm sorry, Alpha Finn." He bowed and after one last look at me, he disappeared. I sighed, relieved of my burden. I bent down to pick up my soon-to-be-purchased goods."Thank you," I said to him."If you're going to thank me, then do it properly." He growled and left. Was he angry at me now? Man, that man has some kind of mental issue. Getting angry at the victim is not what a sane person should have done. I felt bad though but I didn't let that pull me down much. I got back on my feet, paid my bills, and headed back to my lodge."So, you like him, don't you? I bet his wolf is as attractive as he smells." Artemis said dreamily, making me roll my eyes at her weakness."Don't pretend as though you don't want a boyfrien
FINN "What happened to you?" Raven asked Anderson. It was lunch break and they stood in a quiet corner. I was just passing by when I heard whispering voices. When I checked, it was Raven and Anderson, standing a few feet apart from each other. I knew the meeting of those two couldn't be something good or school related. I knew they were up to no good. "Ashhh…" Anderson grumbled and clicked his tongue. Who had done that to him and what had he done to warrant such pain? "That girl is stronger than I thought. I ain't going close to her ever again." He growled and tried to leave but Raven pulled him back. He removed his hand from hers, almost wailing in pain. "Dude, I'm going through pains here. Don't touch me like that." He lashed out at her but she seems I bothered by it. "You can't do anything right, can you? I tell you to destroy a pest and you let that pest poison you with its venom? Such incompetency." "If you had a d**k, you wouldn't be needing me now, would you? Oh well, you
IRIS "You cheated!" I exclaimed breathlessly. He wasn't even panting much. It made me wonder about the kind of training he had subjected himself to. "As long as I got you to register for my course, that's not a problem. I'm prepared to cheat in any way I can." He ruffled my hair and laughed. "Why don't you come to my place this night? I want to treat you to something special." "Why? Are you trying to make me feel better?" I folded my arms. "Well, yes. I don't want to go sulking in your room. That'd be too unpleasant to see. Just think of it as what a big brother would do for his little sister who was offended. Be a good girl and you might just be getting more special treatment from me." "And being a good girl means registering for your course?" I arched a brow. "Yuppp!" He affirmed, adding pressure to the 'p'. "Well, since I lost, I have no other choice but to do as you have requested. If it's too hectic, I might as well transfer out." "No, you won't. You'd be there for life
FINN "Well, it's a good thing Damon was there to stop you on time." My doctor sighed. "Any second later would have been lethal to her. She'd be fine and will probably wake up soon." "How soon?" I asked. "In like three or four days. Could be less." He shrugged. "Next time, try to be conscious of your actions. You could have killed her." He patted my shoulder and walked out of the room. "You finally heeded my advice. Look who's standing alright now." Damon grinned. He had successfully pleased his ego. I groaned and relaxed my back on the chair. "But was it that good?""Do you wanna hear the painful truth?" I grumbled with my eyes closed. "Yeah!" He sat beside me and put his hand across my shoulder. "It's the best I've ever come across," I said. I was pained though. I just confessed that Iris's blood tasted better than that of Zaria's. "You don't mean it!" He exclaimed. "Are you sure you're not being brainwashed to say this? The alpha Finn I know would never say this." "I'm ser
FINAL EPISODE IRIS I woke up to the sound of glass shattering. I sat up immediately and looked at the accident that had happened. "Sorry, it slipped," Anya said with pleading eyes. She immediately picked up a broom and swept the dangerous, pointy materials away into the trash can. "What are you doing here anyway?" I asked her after she had finished cleaning. "I came to check up on you. I wanted to see how you were doing. My brother told me you were in the hospital. And also, Jason was worried about you. He's in detention tho. He'll swing by later in the evening." She explained after taking a seat."So, how are you feeling?" "Better, I guess." I laid back on the bed and tucked myself in. "Strong enough to leave this place this instant. I really hate the smell of hospitals." Anya giggled. "Who doesn't? Well, except for the doctors and nurses. Nobody likes to be sick and get confined in a pace that reeks of antiseptics." "Yeah, you totally get it." I sighed. "Actually, I'm her
WARNING: QUITE A STEAMY CHAPTER AHEAD. RATED 18+. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!!! IRIS My hands rummaged through his lower abdomen as I kissed him. He deepened the kiss and left me breathless at some point. Our foreheads met as we tried to catch our breath. "Iris, I better leave," He whispered. "Why?" I whispered breathlessly. Things were just getting started and he wanted to leave me like that. "You just woke up and must be feeling tired. I am myself right now." He shut his eyes and tried to walk away but I stopped him. "What? Are you scared you'll hurt me? But I'm fine." "Iris…" He called out impatiently. "I said I'm fine!" I yelled. My grip on him was strong. I wasn't ready to let go. I was frustrated. Wasn't he getting my point? "I'm sorry for yelling like that. I just—" Before I could finish my statement, Finn shut me up with yet another deep kiss. I was caught unaware and it was hard to keep up with him. "You have no idea how long I've waited for this." He pulled down his pan
IRIS Finn and I walked down to the nearest cafe. We decided to stay outside because of the scorching sun. After making sure I was seated, he went to the lemonade stand. I was left with my thoughts. I had witnessed everything that had happened but I was unconscious and scared. Though I saw Finn, Damon, and Anya fighting, I couldn't reach out to them. I thought I'd never wake up but after some days, I was able to get up on my feet. That was when I met Finn talking to the lady. She seemed pretty nice to have brought him cakes. I wished I had a taste of it. "Here," Finna announced, breaking me from my thoughts. "Thank you," I smiled and took the glass from him. He sat down while I sipped the juice. Finn was the only person on my mind when I woke up. I was supposed to be mad at him for what had happened between him and Zaria but I wasn't. "How are you feeling?" He asked. "I'm fine, I think so. I don't feel any pain in my head or any part of my body. I think I'm okay." I shrugged. H
AUTHOR'S NOTE: Hello, everyone. Thank you very much for reading this far into the story. We've entered the second half of the story and a whole new turn is about to take place. I will be introducing one or two new POVs. So hold onto your seat belts as we go on another journey entirely.**********VIOLET After the big battle, the pack members under the command of the alpha, started repairing the damaged parts of the town. It was nice seeing him so dedicated to his people and trying to help out in any way he can. My heart fluttered when he summoned my mother and I. He hardly does that himself and it was always his beta or gamma that always came to us. He was hardly seen around us but I got the opportunity to stand close to him that night. He even said he was expecting great things from us. He said his life was dependent on how long we covered the full moon. I felt it was such an honor. Today, I had gone with a gift to thank him for his hard work. I baked some muffins and cupcakes. T
FINN Finding my grandfather wasn't a big deal. My father and I had visited him since I was very young. I think I was seven years old when we went to him but I could remember how to get into his kingdom from start to finish. With the anger in me, I found my way to the cliff. I looked down and saw the rapidly moving water. Any random stranger would definitely not be able to get in because they didn't know what was down there. You could only get in when you think about a Golden Gate guarded by black demons. The water had a way of reading someone's mind. That was the power of black magic and that was why it was banned from coming into the world. It was dangerous and could serve as a tool for world domination. And it was what my grandfather had used to live for many years now. I made sure that I wasn't followed by anyone before jumping off the cliff with the gate in my mind. I held my breath as the water carried me. Soon, I arrived at the place. My clothes and my skin were dry. Such ev
FINN He was moving and fast. I wasn't expecting it. He was always two steps ahead and I never get to know what was in his head. That old man's mind was so twisted. The more reason he shouldn't be allowed to live longer. The problem was, how was I supposed to protect Iris while fighting off the bad guys? "How many guards are outside?" I asked him. "About six or seven." He replied. "Good. Get them in here now." I commanded. I looked at Iris in pity. Her body was going to tell on her when she wakes up. She had forcefully freed herself from the rope. That action made marks visible on her wrists. I knew it was going to hurt a lot and that was I why I wouldn't let her go through any pain again. Damon arrived with the guards. "Watch her," I said to them. "Guard her with your lives. If she gets out, it will be over for all of us." I briefed them before running out with Damon. Getting to the middle of the city, we could see that Hendrickson had already started causing severe damage and
FINN I didn't get to see Iris that night. I went home with Anya while Damon and Arnold tightened security. But I was sure that even with the security, my grandfather could do anything with his black magic. The only way was to get rid of him. I freshened up and went to my study. I needed to still look for ways to stop the ritual and clear my head. I had to apologize to Iris, protect her, and get rid of that old man for good or get him to stop his acts. I went back to the hospital the next day to meet Jason standing outside. He was staring at Iris through my window. Anya was standing right beside him, also looking at Iris. I felt my anger build up and I walked up straight to him. "What are you doing here?" I asked. "Good morning, Alpha Finn." "I don't want to see you here. Get out." I pointed to the door. But he wasn't yielding. He just stood there, looking pitiful. "I'm sorry, Alpha Finn. I just came here to see my friend. I know I haven't been the best friend to her. I mean,
FINN I rushed to the scene of the party after Anya had called. I was furious. Since when did both Anya and Iris start attending parties? The strong scent of alcohol hit my nose and I scrunched my face. These kids were lucky that whatever they were doing here was far away from town. I would have broken down the building if possible. I ventured inside the house. None of them noticed me because they were all wasted. "If I see Anya like this, I'll make sure she gets grounded." I scoffed. I finally found her in one corner, taking shots. As I got to where she was standing, I cleared my throat. She flinched when she saw me. "Why are you scared? Weren't you expecting me?" I folded my hands. "What are you doing here?" I asked. "I was just trying to forget everything. Jason doesn't want to hang out with me and I cut ties with Roland. Never in my life would I have done that." She whimpered. "Still doesn't warrant you coming here. Go home, Anya. I'll deal with you later." I said and wen
IRIS How dare he show his face to me after I told him to stay away from me? I would never forgive him. The fact that he didn't want to tell me about the kiss was enough proof to judge him. I needed closure. I needed to go out and clear my head. I got invited to the prom afterparty immediately after our test. The party was to be held that same evening. I planned never to go to a party but desperate times call for desperate measures. I needed my revenge to be served hot. I opened my wardrobe in search of something skimpy. I settled for a crop top, skinny jeans, and a jacket. I applied a little makeup before walking out of the room. I locked my door and exited the building. I ambled toward the road and stopped a taxi. I was driven to the manor where the party was taking place. It seemed it was already in full swing as the entire living room was crowded. Liam's parents had died in an accident, leaving the kid alone to live his reckless life. He threw parties almost every Friday and
