Chapter 45IrisSongs blared from the speaker as Hazel and I made our way into the club. If someone had told me that I'd be here tonight, I would have accused the person of lying, but here I was, ready to party and get drunk.After witnessing such a heart-wrenching scene, I rushed down to Hazel's house. Thankfully, her parents weren't home so I informed her that I'd changed my mind.Just like I hoped, she didn't ask any questions even though she kept throwing interrogative glances at me at intervals. We were almost the same size, so it wasn't hard to fit into the slutty body-con dress she'd laid out for me to wear.I tucked my hair underneath a blonde wig and she helped conceal my face with a smoky makeover. It wasn't enough to hide my identity, but no one would realize I was the one at a glance.We navigated through the sweaty bodies and stopped at the counter. I took a cursory glance around, surprised at how jammed the club was during this time."Have you ever been here before?" I y
Chapter 46GradelShe snatched her hand away from mine as the surprise that was earlier on her face disappeared. She scowled at me, retreating into the darkness while I followed."What do you think you are doing?" She fumed.I scoffed in disbelief, plunging my teeth into my lower lip to keep myself from punching the man who had dared to touch her.In fact, I was going to find him and hit him. Her eyes were squinted in confusion as I veered past her and dragged the man up, throwing an aggressive punch to his jaw.I rode through the waves of satisfaction when I heard a crack and then he began to plead."I'm so sorry, Prince Gradel. I didn't know she was yours," He begged, falling onto his knees.His pleas further infuriated me and I glanced at Iris who glared at me disapprovingly. Her short dress rode to her upper thighs and her massive curves which had always been hidden by the flowy dresses were visible.My length began to harden as my eyes stopped at her chest which rose and fell in
Chapter 47GradelMy head went blank immediately as confusion seared through me. I racked my brain, trying hard to remember when I spoke to another woman or even going further to bring her home but nothing came to my mind.Instinctively, I checked her pulse to be sure she was running a temperature and immediately she swatted my hand away, maintaining her death scowl."So now you think I'm making things up, huh? You think I'm sick?" She gritted and I shrugged, unsure of what to say.Nothing made sense to me. Iris might have betrayed my trust before but being with her for some time made me realize that she wasn't a liar.If she said I slept with someone, then it meant that something happened while I was away and I wasn't aware of it. Come to think of it, there was only one person who had access to my room and could impersonate me if he tried.Devin.It was no one else but him. But what could be his motive?"I can explain, Iris. Just listen to me," I persisted, my voice soft and shaky.A
Chapter 48IrisI shut my eyes while I let the cool evening breeze cascade down my skin. I was feeling cold already, but being with Gradel once again topped the cold.I nearly slapped myself for overreacting. My act of foolishness glared right in my face and if it were possible, I'd disappear but with how Gradel kept throwing glances at me, I knew he wouldn't let me out of his sight. "Look, I know that you have a lot to say about how I reacted, but I want you to know that I'm truly sorry. These past few days have been tough on me and when I saw that..." A pause, "It was the last straw that broke the camel's back. I just had to let it all out," I explained in a rush.His silence was unnerving but I couldn't complain because I deserved any punishment he decided to give me."You don't have to apologize. I'd have done the same if I were in your shoes," He confessed after a long moment of silence.My curiosity spiked. "Why will you do the same?"My heart thumped hard against my chest as I
Chapter 49IrisMy heart plummeted, but it wasn't out of fear, instead, I was thrilled to learn the lessons he had to teach."What kind of lessons do you offer?" I gulped and sunk my teeth into my lower lip when he led me to the wooden chair by the pond and made me sit.He hovered over me, his warm spicy scent creating a fog in my brain that left me dazed. He hadn't even touched me yet and I was already jittery.I recalled the times we were intimate and realized that we hadn't done anything serious asides from kissing, and the blowjob I gave to him when I wanted him to heal faster.But that was all.His hands landed on my thighs which he caressed softly, locking my gaze against his. "Many of them, but tonight, I'm going to show you what my mouth does aside from talking. You're going to feel the pleasure that comes from having my finger inside of you, stroking you till your mind becomes numb and the only thing you'll yearn for is a release that you wouldn't get except I command it." He
Chapter 50Iris"Goodness, Iris. Your beauty is blinding." Hazel gushed over me when she stepped into the room.It was our Alpha's birthday party and Gradel had asked that I look the part. I decided to surprise him by wearing a black velvet dress with meshed sleeves that stopped at my wrists.The length of the dress covered my legs with a slit by the side. It had a low neckline that showed a generous amount of my boobs.I didn't care if it would spark up some gossip around the pack, what mattered was how good I looked in it. Before Gradel left to take care of some errands, he had presented a diamond jewelry set to me, pleading that I wear it to the party."Thank you, my dear friend, and you don't look so bad at all." I smiled at her.She patted my hair to keep it in place and I muttered a word of appreciation to her. She was always there to cheer me up and look out for me and one day I hoped to pay her back."I try my best," She replied modestly. "Now, I want to know why you haven't m
Chapter 51IrisThough my arm was entwined around Gradel's arm, my body still shuddered nervously as soon as we arrived in the hall. I gazed at the decor to distract myself from the fact that I'd soon be facing the Alpha again.The decorators outdid themselves and I imagined having a large number of people gathering because of me. A real mating ceremony between Gradel and I, maybe."You feel so nervous, what's the problem now?" He observed."Nothing serious. I'm not used to being in such an event," I brushed off and that was the truth.I wasn't from the elite or Alpha clan, and I was a part of the lowest clan in the pack so there was no need for me to be in such places. Reminiscing about my past, I was baffled at how my life had changed in less than a month."Are you sure? I want you to be relaxed here because no one will try harassing you while I'm here, not even my father." He assured and I gulped.It was at the tip of my tongue to remind me of how he failed to fulfill his promise w
Chapter 52GradelMy head felt like it was being compressed and my ears tingled yet I maintained composure while anticipating the remaining explanation.I'd so murder Devin if I set eyes on him."From what he told me, your brother asked him to accuse me of taking the bracelet so that you wouldn't trace it back to me. According to Larry, the bracelet was sold the same day to his who just came from a different pack and that was why you couldn't find the bracelet after sending people to search for it. I'm so sorry for not telling you earlier. I just wanted to surprise you." She spoke lightly, inclining her head.I couldn't be mad at her for any reason. If anything, I thought her to be brave for finding the bracelet even when I'd asked her not to bother.Seeing the bracelet on the man's wrist again caused my chest to clench with pain, but I ignored it. Since he was here already, I'd do everything possible to get it back from him as that was the only thing that connected me to my late moth
