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
Chapter 1Iris "I swear I didn't take the money," I argued tiredly as the crowd thickened with each passing second. "I'm sure if you search properly you'll find it, or maybe someone else took it," I added in my defense. If I'd known that today would turn out this way with me being accused of being a thief, I would have listened to my instincts and stayed back at home. But then, there was no food in the house, no money, and my lazy sister wasn't keen on doing anything to provide food or other supplies that we had run out of. "It's a lie, you wretched hag!" Giga, my boss, snapped. "You took the money. I purposely left it there to test you and you just showed me that you can't be trusted!" He accused me vehemently. I go by the name Iris, but no one remembers that because I'm an omega without a wolf, and very unattractive as well. Maybe if I'd obliged my boss's wishes and had a good night with him as he demanded, I wouldn't be in the middle of the market, surrounded by little childre
Chapter 2Iris With those glassy blue eyes trained on me, it was hard for me to remain composed, but I figured out that any wrong answer could send me straight to the cell. He chuckled, but his voice rang hard with disbelief and scorn. "I wasn't born yesterday, Iris. You were dragged to the market square because you stole, yet you say you did nothing?" Something snapped inside of me at his accusation. Yes, I had a deep crush on Prince Devin, but I wouldn't be ridiculed this way. Maybe I was a weak wolfless omega who found no better job than keeping records for a man who was interested in defiling her, but I had my self-dignity to protect. At this point, I didn't even care about getting arrested, but if they were to arrest me, it would be for the right reasons— that I stole from Giga. "Everything is an accusation, Prince Devin. You are not even sure that I stole from him." I shot back, fuming. I'd risen to my feet so that I could stare at his face squarely. "Yes, I was dragged ou
Chapter 3Gradel "Prince Devin?" I chuckled silently in amusement as I fixed my gaze on the bushy path leading to the pack house. She thought I was Prince Devin. It wasn't her fault. Most people her age didn't know I existed since I'd just recently returned to the pack. All thanks to my father who always saw me as the black sheep of the family because I didn't care about being his successor. Devin was more interested in being the Alpha king and that irked my father so much since I was the older twin. Let's say I had more concerns about changing things in the human world and not here until I met this beautiful omega who was in bad shape at the market. I knew that she didn't steal the money, but I didn't want to give her any ideas and that's why I acted like I didn't believe her. The car stopped at the driveway so that I could get down before the chauffeur would park it properly in the garage. Left to me, I'd have stayed longer at the market or gone for a run as my wolf was ge
