Ezio:I ran my fingers through my beauty’s hair as she laid on my chest, telling me what happened between her and Nina.“She says that I want the Alpha position to myself…” I simply hummed in response, knowing that it wasn’t true. If anything, Iris wanted to end the WHOLE pack, starting a new fresh life between the two of us, it was never about being an Alpha for any of us.“And you let her get in your head, didn’t you?”“No, it’s not that”“I think it is, baby girl” I said, pushing my beauty away to look me in the eye “if anything, the two of us know that it is not about being Alpha in this place, and it is not about a ‘position’. The two of us haven’t fought through this whole time to just end up being merciful or to take charge of a pack that has damaged us more than we could even mention”“Her words just annoyed me, that’s all. I haven’t seen her being as rude in a while and I guess that I forgot how heartless she could be when she wants to be, but then again, I am no longer her t
Iris:I watched as Ariana did her homework, making sure that she didn’t give her teachers a fuss considering that she hasn’t seen her father.“Ariana, you need to finish these before I leave. You have to submit them tomorrow” the tutor said, looking at the child. Her previous private teachers all stopped tutoring her when she entered school, and the one tutoring her now was a nun who was trained to teach children, be patient with them, and treat them well.“But, I wanted to see daddy today” Ariana said, pouting her lips. I looked at her tutor who smiled, getting down on her knees beside Ariana.“Your father must be too busy to come, but we both know that he will once he is done. However, I am very sure that he wouldn’t like seeing that his daughter was not doing her homework” she said gently. I couldn’t help but respect the woman’s patience, this was the fifth time Ariana stopped doing her homework; however, not once did the woman raise her voice at her “how about, we finish this whil
Ezio:“Get out” Alpha Ryker said, not bothering to look at the nurses as he sat on the edge of his sister’s bed. The nurses looked at me, shaking their heads in question as they didn’t know what to do; however, nodding at them to leave had them walking out.“Alpha, is there anything that you need?” I asked, looking at the girl whose eyes were fixed on her brother, tears brimmed her eyes, and I couldn’t help but feel sorry for the two.“Leave us alone, Ezio” he said. I nodded, walking out and standing by the door. My eyes caught sight of Nina and I couldn’t help but shake my head at the woman who rolled her eyes before walking away. My plan with Iris was still fresh in my mind, though how we were going to make sure it worked would risk my and Iris’s life, both if she spoke, or if she didn’t. “I was never fair with you” I heard Ryker tell his sister inside the room, his voice has never been as broken as it was now, but I knew for fact that whatever he was going to tell her now was goin
Iris:I watched as the Alpha entered his sister’s bedroom before standing outside the door, waiting patiently for him to walk out of the room before our plan initiated.“Ryker” I heard her say when she saw her brother. I could hear the man sitting on her bed, and I could imagine him taking her hand in his “I want to ask you for something…”“Anything, baby girl” he said gently, his voice soft and loving. “Why doesn’t Ariana see her mum?” She asked “I know that you two…”“Miley” he warned, his voice dark and cold as he spoke, and my heart dropped to my stomach when I heard that the child’s mum was still alive.“Please, Ryker” Miley said, her voice pleading “I know that you miss her more than anything, and Ariana deserves to have her mother around her. The two of you have lost so much, but you can still build what you’ve lost. She would forgive you for…”“Miley, if you want to live through the night, I suggest that you fucking shut up” Alpha Ryker snarled. His sister went quiet, her hea
Ezio:I walked out of the room, heading toward the beta’s bedroom.Ryker’s voice could be heard as he yelled at the doctors, maids, and slaves that should have been in front of her room, inside it, or by her side.I entered the bedroom, frowning when I saw that most of it had been broken down as the Alpha threw things around in both pain and anger. His eyes met mine and I could swear he growled “what the fuck are you doing out of bed? Do you want to end up like my sister?”He pointed at her, his eyes breaking as he avoided looking at her lifeless body “she is asleep, and is refusing to wake up. These idiots are saying that she is dead, but I know that my sister is going to wake up. She just needs to rest…”“Alpha…”“What? Are you going to be as dumb as they are? My sister is alive, she is just asleep…”I wrapped my arms around the man, hugging him tightly as he broke down. I may have been in charge of her death, and I would be killing him, but the pain that he was in right now was a l
Iris:Her screams filled the air as her body burned. Her cries, pleas, and begs would be stuck in my head for a while, and I was thankful that I wasn’t forced to see her, had that been the case; I would have never been able to get over it.I knew that it would take her a while before she was dead, and I prayed that she didn’t say anything that would endanger Ezio and I until she died. However, judging by what I could hear; the woman was yet to say anything, and was barely begging for mercy or to be set free.Ariana sat beside me, watching a movie on her tablet as she had her headsets on, ensuring that she didn’t listen to the crying woman out in the field. It would be traumatic for her to listen to, and I wasn’t stupid as to want to trigger a child’s curiosity over questions that I knew I wouldn’t have answers to.It was a while before her cries died down and cheers started in the pack despite the smell of burning flesh. My chest ached at the memories that played in my head about her.
Ezio:“You do realize that we can’t keep killing this Alpha’s men, right? He would just notice that they have gone missing” Iris said, entering the fourth dungeon in the house. The two of us have been going around in a maze, searching for the woman who didn’t seem to be in any of the empty dungeons we entered. “It’s not like I have another option” I said, shrugging my shoulders “they would end up killing us otherwise”“Ha, ha, I am starting to believe that you are enjoying this way too much” Iris teased. I winked at my beauty, watching as she went to check the right side of the cell while I checked the left. I sighed when we found that it was also empty, and knowing that it was already a while past two, I knew that we needed to get some rest if Iris was to be able to wake up early with Ariana. “Next dungeon?”“No, baby girl, bedroom. You need to rest. Ariana doesn’t have school tomorrow and she would be very active, not to mention that the whole house would be busy with the funeral
Iris:“Are you sure that the place is here?” I asked, staring at the wall in front of us. Ezio nodded, seeming sure about it, making me frown in confusion as I looked at the empty wall.Ezio put his hand on the wall, running his finger over the tiles, gently pressing on them before one of them moved. The two of us looked at one another for a second before Ezio pressed on the tile completely, watching as a door opened behind it.My beloved wrapped his arm around me, pulling me inside the room where stairs appeared in front of us “the fifth floor” My voice was above a whisper as I spoke, and the two of us took slow, careful steps up the stairs as we feared any traps being hidden within the walls of this secret room. The door slowly closed behind us, and I couldn’t help but catch my breath as we walked up, not knowing what to expect behind the walls of the concealed room. Why it was concealed and how long has it been this way, I had no idea, but it seemed like there was a lot for us to
