All Chapters of The Iron Alpha: Chapter 161 - Chapter 170

Kyra’s pov I woke up to the smell of cinnamon buns. It smelt delicious and I wasn’t sure if it was Ari or the real deal. Either one of them would make me happy. Or both, together! Would Ari taste good with some frosting and cinnamon on top? I got up and went to the bathroom. I looked around and saw Ari had already showered and got dressed. What I didn’t see, where towels and dirty clothes on the floor. They were actually in the hamper! I freshened up quickly, curious why it smelled so good in here. I followed my nose and it led me to the kitchen. “Now, I am not able to make them, yet. But I am really good at ordering food.” Ari said, holding up a plate of cinnamon buns. “I love you, Ari.” I said, as I grabbed one immediately. “So, what’s on the agenda today?” Ari said, as he walked to the washing machine. He started putting everything in together and turned to me, “how do I turn this on?” “Did you put in washing deterrent?” I asked. “What’s that?” Ari asked, looking unsure. “

Ari’s pov “Do you think I’m like that?” Kyra asked softly, after the meeting with my dad was over. We had spend most of the day with Jake and his siblings, but tonight dad had called us and told us what Gamma Nolan had found out. He had arrested Jake’s mother, she was staying in the dungeon, at least until they could figure out what to do with her. Jake’s dad had originally pretended everything was fine. It wasn’t until he heard that Billy had bruises on his arms and that his mate had slapped Jake, that he began to talk. Jake’s dad, Brutus told Gamma Nolan, that his mate Carolyn had always had mood swings. That the only time she was happy, was when she was pregnant. That’s why they had that many kids, I guess. But actually being a mother or caring for them, didn’t bring her much joy. It was another job, like working at the butcher shop. She was forced to take over the butcher shop, when she was just eighteen. Brutus had stepped up and helped her in the store. They had hired more p

Ari’s pov Kyra came home from shopping with my mother, very excited. She said mom had been so nice to her and made her feel like part of the family. Family, it was a funny thing. I never really valued our family like I did now. I took them for granted like everything else, I guess. But this party made me realize, that Kyra and I had another thing in common. We were both outcasts of the family. Dad had held back for all these years, out of shame or guilt, but it wasn’t like aunt Lily or most of the other aunts came to visit us. We went to see uncle Eddie and aunt Charlotte often, they all lived in the same pack as Grandpa. But we weren’t there for a lot of birthdays and celebrations at the Iron River pack. And Dax and I were never that close with any of the cousins and some were with each other. I know dad and uncle Damian talked on the phone often, but it was still different than actually visiting each other. Maybe distance had something to do with it too? Our packs weren’t that cl

Leia’s pov “Are you fucking ready?” “I was ready half an hour ago, you’re the one that’s slow,” Kate said. “Katkit, I can’t fucking help it. Your brother was fucking distracting me.” I replied, wiggling my eyebrows. “Too much info. Let’s just go down, so you can make your grand entrance.” She said, winking at me. “Are you existed for the party?” Kate shrugged, “it’s nice to see everyone, but you know I’m not big on social gatherings. It will be fine though and a nice break from school.” “I thought you fucking loved school?” Kate laughed, “I do. I really do. But I miss you guys, especially Aeryn.” I softly hit Kate’s arm, “you’re supposed to fucking miss me the most, Kat.” Kat was wearing a flowery dress and had cut her hair even shorter on the side. She looked fucking good. She reminded me of Shuri in Blackpanther, the sister. That woman could fucking rock a dress, but still had this tomboyish style that I loved too. I for once, ditched my favorite t-shirt and jeans combo a

Roman’s pov Why did Kyra have to bring up love? Things with Zuri and I were great. I remembered how she had said that dating the same person was actually less work than chasing girls all the time and that part was true. It wasn’t work being with Zuri. It felt easy, a bit too easy. Soon I would get used to having Zuri around me all the time and then what? Then if it didn’t work out or if she wasn’t my mate, we’d both be heartbroken. Not to mention the fact, that I don’t want a mate. My wolf Carter disagreed, he actually really wanted a mate. But we discussed this. I would never want to go through what mom did. She was merely living her life, she wasn’t the same mom as she was with dad here. It was like her world had been filled with color and now everything was black and white. She still enjoyed things, but never to the fullest. She could still laugh, but her eyes were sad. “You should be a poet,” Carter joked. “But if she didn’t meet your dad, you wouldn't exist, Sierra wouldn’t. A
