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
Adrian clears his throat, catching both Iris and Titan off guard. They look at him without letting each other go.“You two look cozy,” Sil teases.“Oh,” Iris and Titan look into each other's eyes, but continue to hold each other. “Thank you for all the clothes.”“You are welcome. I am glad you are here,” Titan tells her, wrapping her tighter.“Me too,” Iris presses close to him, and they continue to look into the other’s eyes.Adrian and Sil leave them alone.“I want to kiss you, but I just met you yesterday,” Titan says, studying her eyes.Iris stands on her tippy toes and smiles. “You’ve known me so much longer than a day.”Mars- Kiss her, please.Zaphyra- Kiss him.Titan and Iris’s lips touch. Both wolves howl and they pull in close.Iris feels his member start poking her stomach, so she pulls up and wraps her legs around Titan’s waist.Titan holds her against him and starts walking up the stairs.“My room, Titan,” Iris says, catching her breathe before going back in to lock lips a
Iris joins her family in the dining room, she stands next to Ingrid.“Animus Pack, today my family was betrayed by one we trusted. Joey Dunlap has been dating your future Alpha, claiming he felt the mate pull to her. However, several she-wolves have come forward stating that Joey seduced them. They became brave enough to do so after my stepdaughter, Ingrid, admitted to also falling for his charms, betraying her sister,” Darius announces, then nods to Iris.“As the injured party, I have decided to forgive Ingrid and the other she-wolves. Joey’s deception was so great and believable, I can’t hold these she-wolves guilty. I believe they have learned their lessons. I offer my complete pardon to all of them. But especially to my sister. I know you carry guilt; I want you to know I love you as blood and forgive you,” Iris hugs Ingrid, swallowing her bile.“Thank you,” Ingrid smiles.“I am sorry, Iris,” Daria speaks. “I weighed rather or not to tell anyone, but last night I felt the pain of
“You cheated,” Selene yells. “He has lost. I have won this game. He can’t win without cheating.”“You cheated first choosing a newborn as your player,” Poseidon retorts.“Scared to lose? Iris is not a pushover. She is going to kill your champion and smile all the way,” Selene smiles. “But cheating is below even you.”“Cheating? You feed her information,” Poseidon tries to throw a water jet at her.Selene holds up her hand with a stone expression, diverting to Daria’s face.Daria screams unable to withstand the blast.“Enough,” Zeus holds up his hand. “Brother, you cheated. You know you did. But this the first time you have been charged with cheating. So, I give you the option. I have time reversed and you never come out to the water, or you forfeit.”“Can’t we give Iris an advantage as well?” Poseidon purposes.Selene rolls her eyes. “Like what, an extra life. Daria was kind enough to already give her one.”Daria looks down.“I didn’t kill her myself; I should not be punished for what
Titan rips through the packhouse to get back to training.“Our borders are being stalked,” Adrian tells him.“Iris,” Titan roars.“Sil has her in a saferoom,” Adrian tries to calm him.“It's okay T,” Sil tells him. “She is safe, we made sure of it. The pups are in with her, and she is really good with them.”Titan’s jaw is still clinched as he and Mars debate.Mars- See her one more time before battle.Titan- My pack needs me.Mars- We need her.Titan- After the battle.Titan see Adrian and Gavin ready for whatever comes.“Let's go see who is stupid enough to attack us,” Titan orders and his warriors follow.“Alpha Titan,” The man known as Lucifer is waiting for Titan’s army just outside the border.“Why are you here?” Titan asks.“You have Iris Moore,” Lucifer declares. “She is your second chance mate as you are hers.”Adrian and Gavin hold Titan back.“What do you want?” Adrian asks, holding Titan on their side of the border.“To explain. I know what she is going through. I come in
Zaphyra- She is going to see me! We can’t shift until we get there.Iris- I have a better idea.Iris- DANIEL!Daniel- Yes, Alpha.Iris- I need Daria put into a safe room, quickly.Daniel- What about you?Iris- Just get her out of my way.Daniel- Yes, AlphaIris starts running toward the alarm.“IRIS!” Daria screams, seeing her run out of the door. Daria is pulled into the saferoom; not having a wolf, Daria is helpless against the guards.Daniel mindlinks Iris as soon as she is closed off inside.Daniel- She is in the saferoom.Iris shifts, ripping her clothes and shocking her warriors. They fight, they win.“Clean up and make sure our wounded get treated. No one is to tell anyone I shifted. Is that clear?” Iris asks.“Yes, Alpha,” rings her warriors.“Alpha, Alpha Titan is here with a small group,” Daniel tells her.“Thank you, I will meet them in the Alpha office, keep the saferoom closed,” Iris puts on a shirt and shorts before running back to her office.“Baby,” Titan attacks her l
“I, Poseidon, god of the seas, accuse Selene, goddess of the moon, of cheating in the realm games,” Poseidon declares in the arena. “See how she has paired two of the strongest together.”All the gathered gods and goddesses look down to see Titan and Iris training. Iris getting stronger by the day and so is the bond between them. Right now he is training her himself because over the last month she has become too much for Sil to handle.“I simply play to win as all of us do. If Titan kills your champion, then she has another chance. Only when Iris kills Daria does it count,” Selene defends herself. “You can't blame for me wanting to win.”“Aye, that is what he does,” Apollo laughs. “When he feels he might lose, he accuses his opponent of cheating. Offer proof, Uncle, or enjoy the show. I bet 50 souls Selene shall win.”“I agree, 100 souls on Selene,” Athena nods to her cousin.“I wager 100 souls on my sister,” Helios bows before her.“I do 100 souls on my sister as well,” Eos smiles.“
““Damn it!” Iris clinches her fists. “Will Titan be alive when I get back?“Of course,” Selene nods.“I lost my temper. I could have beat her if I had kept my head,” Iris curses herself.Selene smiles and soothes her. “But you would have lost Titan forever.”“So, I can have him back?” Iris asks.“You can if you want. It is completely up to you,” Selene smiles. “I know he has taught you a lot.”“He has,” Iris smiles. “I love him, Selene. But I was distracted by that love. So was he. So, send me back to before I met him, please. Like the first time?”Selene smiles and nods. “Remember, as long as you are playing the game, you get one help from me.”Iris shoots her a look, “You never told me that! What kind of help?”“It can be anything. Daria used hers to kill Titan and send you into a rage,” Selene tells her.“Titan is both a strength and a weakness,” Iris tells herself. “Ok, I know the help I want this time around.”Selene smiles, “What is it?”“Make me and Zaphyra immune to Wolfsbane,
