'What plans do you have for us?' Iris asked Adrian. This was coming a month after their wedding. Four weeks of sexual abuse. She had tried to initiate the mating, touching him on the shoulder once. 'What do you think you are doing?' he asked flinging away her hand. 'If you touch me again without my permission, then you shall live to regret it!' he threatened. 'But I am your wife and mate', she tried to reason with him gently. 'I have a right to your body as you have to mine!' 'You have no right whatsoever to my body?' he shouted. 'Be grateful that I made you my Luna and that I suffer myself to touch you!' Iris' ideology about what her marriage to Adrian would be was shattered. She hadn't known what a real lover's touch was since they got married and she was tired of waiting patiently, hoping that he would soon overcome his anger and bitterness towards her and mate with her the way a true lover should, rather than like an angry person taking out his anger on a prostitute.

'My dear son!' Selina called. 'You are going out so early', she observed.'The Alpha King has called for a meeting of the Alphas. There's a treaty he wants to propose. We need to attend like meek lambs, and though I do not want to, what choice do I have? He's the Alpha King anyway!''And I thought you loved the family!' Selina laughed.'What I feel for that family doesn't come close to being called love, not in a million years!' Adrian vowed. 'I see how much love you are giving your bride. And I cannot be happier. She has to taste a little of what her family made me pass through, starting from her late grand mother, Magdalene!''I told you to trust me. I told you I knew what I was doing but you wouldn't pay Attention!' Adrian who had always loved his mother said. He hated anyone who had caused his mother years or pain. He was not doing any of this for his father. He hated his father and was grateful that he died in the war, he himself instigated. He had wanted to strangle Blake himse

A month later, Iris found out she was pregnant. To find out how Adrian would feel about this, she had ignored all his maltreatment. Roxy now frequented the pack. It was almost as though she was living Ng with them. She had also caught her with Adrian on various occasions but had not said anything, believing that things would get back to the way it was between her and Adrian before their marriage.'You might be the Luna in name , I am the one really married to Adrian', Roxy gloated one day. 'You have no place here and soon, you will be driven away. We hat will you do then?' she taunted.Iris kept quiet, not responding to her taunts but continued doing what she was doing in the kitchen.'Cat got your tongue?' Roxy asked. 'No response? I can see that you have already accepted your fate of perpetual suffering in the hands of your so - called husband!'Iris continued cleaning the gas and kitchen cabinet, ignoring her. 'Aren't you the one I am speaking to?' Roxy asked pushing Iris, who hi

'Stop pretending!' Adrian said.'If you think lying as though you have fainted, will stop me from punishing you, then you better have a rethink!' he said raising his hand to hit her again but Iris remained unmoving. He turned her round but she remained still. He was about to leave the room when he saw blood dripping from her thighs. 'What the hell?' he thought and carried her back to the pack hospital that was in the same building, from where he had dragged her some hours previously.The doctors hurried to attend to her.'Why was there a lot of blood?' Alpha Adrian asked his personal physician when he came out after a couple of hours inside the ward with Iris.'Alpha Adrian, didn't you know your Luna was two months pregnant?' the doctor asked.'Well.. I er.. but why was there so much blood?' he asked shocked by the news. Why hadn't Iris told him she was pregnant?'We managed to save the pup this time', he said. 'but like I told your brother, she needs to take it easy, rest alot and ke

'I have smeared an anti-inflammatory cream on the bruise on your cheek, Luna Iris', the doctor said after checking up on her. 'The injection I just gave you contains a sedative, it performs a dual function of easing any pain and discomfort you might feel and luring you to sleep'.Iris nodded, she could not say anything. She was too overcome by the events unfolding daily in her life.'Thank you very much, Doctor ' A drew said.The doctor nodded and left, wondering what the problem was with Alpha Adrian. How could he make him attend to Roxy first before his own Luna?Andrew had come for him and as he was hurrying to see what had happened to their pregnant Luna, Adrian had stopped him.'Where are you going Doctor?' he asked. 'To attend to the Luna to avoid any danger to her or the baby!' he replied respectfully but purposefully.'Attend to Roxy first!' he ordered. 'She is seriously injured and can barely move!''Sorry, Alpha?' he said astonished not believing he had heard right.'Do you
