DYLANWe got outside and made our way into the car that was prepared to drive us to where we were headed. I still couldn't get my head wrapped around what Kavan had said back there concerning Iris. There was no way that I was in love with her. I only married her to fulfill my end of the bargain as I have promised the moon goddess. I didn't marry her out of love and neither did she. We were both victims of the same circumstances.And why would I love a wolfless woman? There were tons of women out there with great abilities that would have been beneficial to me but I ended up with her instead. It was like my life has been programmed to only live for suffering, pain and hurt. Her kind killed my parents in cold blood when I was a child. They took away my people and made me the very last wolf to survive and they thought that it was going to change because the goddess brought Iris as my wife?Not a chance. I would make sure to get back at them though. No matter what happened, I would make s
IRISThe minute we got into the place, I was stunned. It didn't look like anything I had imagined. The place felt warm and cozy and everything was kept in place. When Dylan told me the stories concerning the Seers, I had very low expectations because I thought that they would be people who were cold-hearted and probably ruthless to a fault. I thought that they might even be cave people who might bring in ridiculous notions in order to see us. Hell, I even thought that we would walk in on a fight the minute they suspected our presence, but all I saw were nothing but peaceful people living happily.I could tell that Dylan was more relaxed than when we got here because he too felt the same things.A little girl rushed up to hold Dylan's legs and we both crouched down to her level. She had green eyes and her hair was a curly mess."Good afternoon, Alpha Dylan and Luna Iris." She greeted us, and we were both taken aback. How did she know our name? This was literally the first time that I w
IRISI couldn't believe what I had just heard. I thought that I had heard a lot of things in my entire life but this will be the first time that I have heard something as despicable as this, and I still couldn't bring myself to believe that she was indeed being serious about what she had just said."You sent me those visions?" I repeated, and she nodded her head in response. The look on her face told me that she was being serious about it and that she wasn't joking at all."But why would you send me those visions? Do you know how they affected me? I almost lost my life because of the intensity of how they came each time you sent them. I thought that I was going to die from the pain and hurt it came with," I complained bitterly."I am deeply sorry, Luna Iris, and if there is any way that I can apologize for doing what I did, then I will—""Then why did you do it?" Dylan asked on my behalf. I was thankful that at least, he was on my side on this one because there's no way I could face a
IRISDylan stood up to leave, and I followed him outside without uttering a single word. I knew that he must be feeling bad concerning the news that he had just heard from the seer herself. He had been in a lot of dilemma lately after the last attack that happened and he has been trying to find ways to keep the pack's security firm and tightened so that it wouldn't happen again, only for him to hear now that there was more to come and that he should be prepared for the worst. I could only begin to imagine what he was going through at this very moment. Being a leader was not easy and his job has just taken a turn for the worse.Now, I was slowly starting to get a glimpse of what his world has always been about and why he was always so uptight and serious all the time. He was made a leader at a very young age after losing his parents and had to take on too much responsibility from a young age. All his life, he has been through so much, and now it was only going to get worse. And to thin
DYLANWe walked back to the path that separated both realms from each other and I was surprised to see Kavan still waiting for me alongside the other guards that we had come with. Judging from their faces, I could tell that they were tired and worn out but still chose to remain there, waiting for us. It gladdened my heart to know that at least I had trustworthy people in my life that cared about my safety and my well-being and also had the nerve to sacrifice their time just to wait for me and to ensure my safety."Alpha!" Kavan gasped and ran up to us. He embraced me, and I could practically hear his heart beating rapidly. My best friend could easily take down an army and ward of any attack but his greatest weakness and strength had to be me. Growing up, we had always been with each other and had always taken care of each other to the best of our abilities. We had always made sure to be there for one another when it was needed and that was why when something happened to one of us, it
IRISThe maids helped me out of my clothing and fixed me a bath. After that, they dressed me up as they prepared me for the night. My whole life, I had thought that they were the monsters but it wasn't true. Our kind, my own people, had been the monsters and not them. They wiped out an entire race and pack and killed a little boy's parents. I couldn't even imagine life without my own parents, and yet they went ahead to render someone an orphan without thinking twice. Didn't they have a conscience at least?How on earth was I supposed to face him now after learning the truth about his horrible past? And to think that I had said so many mean things about him. I had even gone ahead to insult his parents the last time we had an argument. No wonder he lashed out at me that day and told me off. He was going through so much and then I was only adding to it. My parents had only sold me off as his wife which was the greatest sin that they had ever committed in my books, but his parents were mu
IRISDylan pulled away from the embrace and led me toward the bed. He made me sit and did the same right next to me as well. Neither of us had said anything to the other yet and as we sat in the presence of each other, we watched time pass slowly, but I still couldn't bring myself to say anything. I must've been such a fool to have embarrassed myself by crying in his presence.What would he think of me now? I should have just sucked in my emotions instead of letting them spiral out of control. Of all the things to do, I had to cry in the presence of Dylan. I wished that the ground would just open up and swallow me at this moment."Does crying in front of me really make you feel bad?" He asked out of the blue, and I was suddenly beginning to wonder if maybe he could hear my thoughts or if it was my imagination playing tricks on me. Else why on earth would he be asking such a question right after I had just thought about it?"No," I replied and wiped the tears off my face aggressively.
DYLANI haven't been able to sleep all night. I kept on thinking about why I had kissed her. It was a mere kiss on the cheeks and it was not like I kissed her fully on the lips. Still, why did I feel like I have done something wrong? I mean it was just a kiss on the cheeks, right? I shouldn't be beating myself up about this. For all I knew, Iris wasn't even dwelling on this and I was just here, making things unnecessarily unbearable for myself. Sheesh!Rolling out of bed, I started to get ready for training. I didn't let anyone take care of me, especially when it was not needed because I had the habit of sleeping naked. It has always been so ever since I lost my parents. Somehow, I thought I had developed that habit because of them, and that was the reason why I always insist on getting ready myself unless it's a special occasion that could not be helped. Even at that, I always make sure to be careful so that I don't get caught.I finished with my dressing and I made my way outside my
