Prologue

I gasped for air as hot tears raced down my eyes, my vision was getting blurry and I could barely make out their faces anymore as they laughed scornfully at me. I took steps backwards, staggering and struggling to hold on to my dear life. The blood from my stomach had covered my entire cloth and I doubt if I was going to make it out alive. "I will be fine." I shut my eyes in pain. I knew I was lying to myself, death was smiling at me already and I was just a step away from it. Now, everything turned out clear to me. Theodore promises, Tianah sneaked out to see someone. Everything was crystal clear now! My body is in so much pain but this was nothing compared to the pain I felt in my heart as the man whom I had loved so much looked into my eyes and stabbed me. I gave him everything, literally everything he wanted in his life, I wanted to stand with him forever and walk through bad and good times together. I had been fooled, used, and dumped and then left to die as my enemies.

IRIS "Let go of my hand, you monster!" I yelled at the top of my voice as Oscar tried to pin me down. "Iris, let's try and talk over this." He pleaded, but I wasn't ready to hear another word from him. He was a liar, a cheat, and only loved me because he found my father's wealth mesmerizing. He didn't care a bit about how I was feeling or what I was going through. He was after the money, and that was what comes first. Nothing else matters. "What exactly do you want us to talk about?" I glared at him with so much hate in my eyes. "Look, I didn't mean for things to turn out this way. It was beyond my control, and I swear, baby, I was scammed." He lied yet again, and I shut my eyes, begging for self-control, which seemed very far right now. Did it ever occur to him that I knew everything he was saying were all lies? If only he knew that I knew about all his lies, he wouldn't have stared deep into my eyes and lied about it. "Let's assume you were scammed of all the money my father had

IRIS It's been two weeks since I met Theodore. I was literally getting obsessed with everything that had to do with him. His touch, care, and affection were all I needed in a man, and he was that and more! I sat in front of the mirror, anxious as my mind raced through a lot of things. Tomorrow was supposed to be the day I will introduce Theo to my family. I wondered if my father would buy the idea of me sticking to him, My father was a highly reputable Alpha of the Moon Hunters pack. He owned a lot of business establishments and empires all over the country and beyond. As the only daughter, my family had always given me the best throughout my life, and if possible, they wanted me to marry a higher reputable man in order to have a secure future. I shut my eyes as my maid helped me get dressed. If things go as planned, then I would be sleeping over at Theo's, and then tomorrow, we can both come and see my parents. I'm so excited that I kept glancing at my wristwatch over and over

IRIS I was sitting at the edge of my bed, happy and texting Theo. Tianah is here too, and we were supposed to be discussing and chatting, but I was so busy caught in the web of my sweetheart that I could barely even hear a word she was saying. "Hey!" Tianah snapped, and I could see her face go red as she stared at my phone and then at me. "Sorry," I apologized, I dropped the phone and directed my attention to her. "It's fine. Just tell me, how did it go?" She squeezed my hands tightly. "Guess?" "What, you know I'm bad at guessing, babe." She reminded me, and I rolled my eyes. "Fine, I'll tell you. So, my father agreed to my relationship with Theo." I blushed as Tianah's voice filled the whole room. "Oh my gosh, don't you dare lie to me?" "I'm not, and that's not all." I paused, staring as the curiosity on her face increased. "Just to remind you, young lady, my ears are itching!" She screamed. I laugh softly, pulling myself together before speaking. "My father wants to see h

I let out a deep sigh as my parent's laughter filled the room. I stared at my untouched plate of food. My parents spoiled me carelessly. It wouldn’t have taken them any minute to notice that I wasn’t eating if they weren't all over each other. My mum was telling the story of her trip all over again for the third time that evening. She had said it when she first arrived, again when she was helping lay out the table, and now when we were eating. I glanced at my father, who had a wide smile on his face as he was eating. I noticed his eyes never left her face, I had a feeling he wasn’t listening to any word she was saying. I stared at them for a moment. Would it be like this for me and Theodore? I shook my head visibly as if to dispel the thought in my head, but it lingered. I stabbed at the meatball repeatedly, my mind wandering off again. Theodore had left before I arrived, and it had hurt me a bit. Maybe I was the only one thinking about him. It wasn’t the mate bond or anything. It wa

I tossed from side to side on my bed. I pulled the blankets over my head in a bid to cover my ears from the irritating noise. I could still hear it faintly. My eyelids fluttered open, and my hands reached around until I turned on the bedside lamp on the mahogany side table next to my bed frame. The room was neatly arranged and painted purple. It was my favourite colour. I trained my ears to check for the source of the noise. I saw it coming from the large window in my room. I reluctantly got to my feet, dragging my tired legs clad in oversized pyjamas. I opened the window, waiting to yell at whoever was disturbing my sleep, not giving a second thought to the fact that it could be a dangerous person. “What do you w-” “It is freezing out here, Iris! I have been knocking for hours.” “Pfft!” I scrunched up my nose, “Couldn’t have been for more than two minutes. I’d know because you woke me up immediately.” She frowned, “Can I come in now?” I opened the window all the way up and moved

It was time for me to sit up. As the heir to the Blackwater pack and soon-to-be Luna of the Dark Moon pack, I could no longer afford to be nonchalant in my duties to both packs.Getting my father to help the dark moon pack against the rising threat of wolf hunters was only the beginning.I sat in front of my desk, my eyes scanning through the files on my desk, I had decided to do a little bit of research on the hunters.They had been around for as long as time itself, but after an ancient war between humans and werewolves, the hunters were presumed to have gone extinct.But it turns out they were only in hiding, regrouping, and waiting for the perfect time to strike.But what I could not understand was why they had decided to strike now. For over two decades, the different werewolf clans had grown smarter and more civil.We dropped all our internal hatred for each other and have since begun to live in harmony with each other, avoiding human casualties and staying in separate packs acro

I sat in the back of my black Mercedes, my head laid back on the headrest we drove through the cool evening, and I watched bright city lights of diverse colors cast beautiful blurs on my window.Blackwater pack never slept, in fact, nighttime was when we were more active, enjoying parties, street food or like myself romantic dinners.I watched as a bunch of pups giggled as they raced past the street on their scooters, bumping into some passers-by and screaming their apologies through the exhilaration of their glee.I rolled down my window and let out a soft breath as the cool breeze wafted against the side of my face, the smell of fried meat and pastries dancing in the breeze, I inhaled deeply, wanting to capture the moment in my memory forever.The car made an easy turn, and we rode down an eerie, dark slope surrounded by bushes. I sat back in my car and peered ahead to where a gate sat with bright golden lights beaming from a distance.We reached the gate and the car slowed to a halt

I placed my cutlery down on my empty plate and reached for the glass of wine that sat beside it. My eyes were on Theodore as I brought the cup to my lips and took a sip.He sat there watching me ever since he finished his dinner, a bright unwavering smile on his face as he intertwined his fingers and used them as a resting place for his chin.“Why do you keep looking at me like that?” I chuckled as I wiped my mouth with a tablecloth.“You’re just so beautiful, I wonder how I became the luckiest man in the world by just deciding to give you a ride that day.”I gave him a teasing smile as I leaned in closer to the table. “So, you mean you didn’t have any intention of asking me out when you picked me up?”He chuckled loudly. “Please, I mean yes. That was the reason I asked if you wanted a ride, but the minute you stepped into my car I already knew I had no shot.”“Well, that didn’t stop you, if I remember clearly, you were all sweet and shooting shots when we stopped by that restaurant.”
