“Any news?” Huck asks Teresa. She is behind the front desk of Killin It Gym. Huck is all sweaty with his hair falling into his face.“Your hair is sexy as hell like that,” Teresa tells him. Huck has just finished his work out. “Sawyer thinks so too,” Huck jokes. It looks like a lot of humans are finding werewolf mates,” Teresa reports and shows Huck a new article about young women being kidnapped and returned after a week with a bite and completely in love with a new man. “The humans don’t know what to make of this.”“What are you two talking about?” Sawyer asks joining them. “This,” Huck shows him. “Wolves?” Sawyer asks. “Yes,” Teresa tells them. “So far none of the girls are crying about mistreatment.” “I thought wolves treated their mates like queens,” Huck raises his eyebrows. “My concern is when its females who cant be away from their mate,” Teresa tells them. “You guys have fragile egos.” “You think a woman wanting to jump a guy is a turn off?” Huck smirks.“This one lo
Prologue:“Where am I?” Iris asks as light blinds her.She remembers her and Joey in the woods, under the full moon for her first shift.“I want to kiss my perfect mate,” Joey smiles at her, running his fingers through her dark black hair.Iris had smiled sweetly and leaned in, so their lips touched effortlessly.Their tongues massaged each other as their hands explored each other’s bodies.He had seduced her by kissing and sucking on her marking spot. She can still feel his fingers as they fumbled inside of her preparing her for him. As her eyes adjust to the light, Iris hears his voice.“May I make love to and mark my perfect mate?” Joey’s calm breathes increased her desire for him.“Yes, make me yours forever,” Iris whispered back.They quickly undress. Iris thought he would be gentle, but he was not.She wasn’t ready when he took her virginity, but it started to feel good after a few thrusts.“Iris, you are amazing,” Joey whispers to her. “You feel so good.”He sped up, making her
Chapter 1- The morning Iris is reborn. Three months until her birthday“Good morning, future Alpha,” Daria sings bringing Iris a tray. “Your breakfast is here.”“Thank you, Daria,” Iris fakes her former stupid self. Inside she is boiling. “This smells amazing.”“Made with love by a mother for her daughter,” Daria kisses Iris’s head. Iris holds back the urge to throw up again. “I picked out a lovely dress for you today. It’s going to be sunny but not hot, so the dress will be perfect. Do you need me to help with your hair?”Iris looks at Daria. For the last 10 years, Daria has doted on Iris. Breakfast, lunch and dinner all brought to her. All Iris’s outfits expertly picked out. Even Iris’s hair. Daria has been the perfect mother.Zaphyra- Don’t forget what she's planning. Oh, and don’t eat that food. She is giving you wolfsbane daily to suppress me.Iris- You being in my head is going to distract me.Zaphyra- I’m here to help.Iris- And I am grateful, but right now I am disgus
Chapter 2-Titan“We keep moving,” Titan tells his elite warriors. “Never stop. You stop moving, you die. Always forward. Never stop.”The warriors are running in place with their Alpha.Beta Adrian checks his phone, who emails at 6am?Adrian smiles seeing it’s little Iris all grown up. Adrian looks at Titan and shakes his head remembering Titan and Iris as children.Adrian is sure Iris was too young to remember all those experiences, but Adrian and Titan sure would.“Okay guys, great effort,” Titan tells the warriors. “Let’s shift and go on the run.”Titan’s wolf, Mars, loves this part of training. Mars howls as the warriors shift.Adrian- Future Alpha Iris has requested a meeting.Titan- Who?’Adrian- We can talk when you get back.Titan- Fine, we will talk when I get back.Mars leads the warriors at top speed. Adrian brings up the rear to encourage the slower warriors.Adrian- Tyson is still lagging.Titan- Ask him to join you and I before the locker room today.After the run Titan,
Chapter 3Iris stands and faces the two men in front of her. The one in the back is bigger, but an Alpha is always in front to greet another Alpha. Both men are blonde so that is no help.“Alpha Titan, Iris Moore,” Iris holds out her hand to Adrian.Adrian steps to the side and Titan steps forward.“You can’t read the aura of a Beta over an Alpha?” Titan raises one eyebrow.“I apologize, I was told Alpha Titan was a blonde,” Iris smiles innocently.“You don’t think I look blonde?” Titan asks.“Even someone as arrogant as you should be able to see your Beta is more blonde than you are. Plus, he was standing closest to the car. Wouldn’t the Alpha be the one to greet another Alpha, even a future one, before the Beta?” Iris straightens her back, unsure where this confidence is coming from.Titan smirks, “You are correct, I apologize for not stepping forward.”“I also apologize for not reading auras. I should have,” Iris says.“Lunch is in the private dining room,” Adrian smiles and they h
Chapter Chapter 4“How was lunch?” Ingrid asks as Iris returns home.“Intriguing. Alpha Titan asked me to stay and see what his warriors can do. They are very well trained. I need to talk to my father,” Iris smiles at her.“Of course, may I join you?” Ingrid asks.“Of course,” Iris links her arm with Ingrid. They have been sisters for a long time, and they often walk like this through the packhouse. Iris is trying to behave as if everything is normal.Zaphyra- You are good actress. I want to claw her eyes out for smelling like the guy we know is our mate. But you hold your composure so well.Iris- I need to get stronger. I can’t fight them yet. I need to get stronger.“Aw, my other two girls,” Darius is in a much better mood now. Daria is on his lap, giggling.“How did the meeting go?” Daria asks, standing up.“Very well. We need to make sure our warriors are training well. Sanguis has very skilled warriors,” Iris informs him.“Did you get hurt?” Daria rushes to Iris to check her over
Chapter 5“Good Morning, Love,” Daria brings a tray and sets it beside a still sleeping Iris.“Good morning, thank you,” Iris sees the food and Zaphyra growls in her head.“Not hungry?” Daria asks.“I don’t know why I am so sleepy,” Iris lies, faking laying back down to sleep.“Oh sweetie, you have been acting strange since you woke up yesterday,” Daria touches her forehead. “Maybe you should stay home today and rest.”Iris shakes her head. “I have tests.”“Oh, well, okay. I wish Ingrid was still in school, she could keep an eye on you,” Daria pouts. “Well, eat up, my love.”Daria flits away and Iris takes her tray to the bathroom.Daria watches Iris take the tray to the bathroom and curses under her breath. Daria thinks as she takes Ingrid her tray. When she opens the door, she finds Ingrid in the shower and Joey naked, asleep in the bed.“Turn around is fair play,” Daria locks the door and takes off her clothes. She begins to hum, gently waking Joey.Ingrid comes of the shower to se
Chapter 6Titan growls again and steps toward the Alpha.“If Animus Pack, or Incudo Pack, cross any border of mine, I will destroy you all,” Titan snarls as he walks. “No quarter will be given, no one spared. Your pups will run in vain for their lives.”Iris shivers in her spot. The boy she was starting to remember, the man she trusted is threatening children. Her heart breaks, seeing him so angry.The Incudo Alpha steps back and shakes his head.“I do not want war with you. I want to know my niece. She is all I have left of my sister,” He keeps eye contact with Titan.“If I happen to run across your niece, I will pass along the message, but I have not seen her since she was three years old,” Titan locks his jaw, and his claws are out. “Get off my pack lands. Never return without permission, or it will be seen as an act of war.”Iris slowly creeps up stairs and sits in her room. She looks around and tries to decide if she made a bad decision.Zaphyra- No, we made a good decision. He w
