IRIS "Oh, tell me, tell me, tell me!!" Anya kept bothering me about the plan I had in mind after I made it to her room early on Monday morning. I was going through her wardrobe to find something that'd make her look more attractive but she wasn't letting me think. "I will. Just let me finish what I'm doing." I groaned when it got unbearable. I got her a pair of black jeans and told her to wear them. She did so without hesitation. I gave her a tank top and a cardigan to wear but she frowned while accepting them. She loved wearing big clothes. Not that it was bad, it just wasn't sexy enough. "Remind me why I have to wear this." She tossed the clothes on her bed as she started spitefully at it. "Because you need to attract someone who would be willing to date you. Someone that is not Roland." I hinted. She wore the clothes, much to her dismay and they looked so good on her. I helped her apply some makeup and styled her long hair. By the time I was done, she was looking different. E
FINN My eyes never left Iris. She looked so innocent studying on her own, not knowing she was probably in danger. "What do you want with her? Who is she to you?" "What I want with her is none of your business. And as for who she is, she's my mate." He blurted and snickered. "I thought I had lost her for good." We turned simultaneously to each other. He had a smirk plastered on his ugly face while I held a frown. "I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I won't be handing any member of my pack to anyone without consent from the demanded person." He moved away from me and took a seat. "Fine by me. She'll gladly run to me anyway." I stared at the way he crossed his legs and looked around my office. Such disrespect. I called Damon to get Iris and in less than five minutes, a knock came on the door. I could smell her standing there, waiting for a response. Her rosy scent made the remaining knots in my head loose and I couldn't help but feel angry that there was a possibility she would b
IRIS Staying in my room alone that night bugged the hell outta me. Even though I had locked the door, I was still scared Fenrir would break in. I got up from my bed to make sure I didn't just lock the door in my mind. Different thoughts and scenes ran through my head as I stared at the locked door. What if he just walks in? What if he breaks the door and barges in and takes me away? I tried to brush it all off and go to bed but I found myself unlocking the door and locking it back. Just to be sure. I closed all the windows and covered myself. I shut my eyes and forced myself to sleep but the stubborn sleep wouldn't just overtake me. Just as I was about to turn, I heard the door knob twitching. I ceased my breath and laid still. The sound of feet stepping into the room made me shut my eyes and prayed. I was too scared to move. My eyes caught a glimpse of someone's shadow and I covered my mouth from screaming. It was already past twelve and there was no one I could call or contact
IRIS "Hey," I felt a tap on my shoulder as I slept. My eyes fluttered open and I found alpha Finn staring at me. I quickly sat up and wiped my face with both hands. I was scared of looking at him because I didn't know what my face and my hair looked like. They made me insecure in front of him. "Good morning, Alpha," I greeted him, suppressing the urge to yawn. My morning breath was sure to make me a total turn-off. "Yeah, you need to get to school," He reminded me and I nodded. I was trying to figure out where I was and how I got there. Memories from last night began flooding in and I realized the earlier trouble I was in. I didn't want to go to school or even back to the apartment. I just wanted to stay where nobody would find me. I was planning on exerting my revenge on the people who treated me with disdain once I had ascertained a particular level but who knew I would end up getting more scared of them? If only my parents were still alive, they wouldn't have let anything happ
IRIS "Welcome to Kelvin's place, miss Iris. I hope you abide by the rules so we can have a working cordial relationship." The manager said with a beaming face and I reciprocated with a small smile. He seemed awfully nice knowing that I spilled coffee on his white suit the other day. Or maybe he didn't remember me. "Thank you so much, sir. I will do my best." I bowed before him before taking an exit. At first when I entered, I was anxious. Anxious that the past problem could hinder my future greatness. My anxiety disappeared when he pushed a package to me and told me it was my uniform. He gave me a handbook noting the rules and also how to serve customers better. He told me I could start the next day after school. I was to work from 2:30 to 9:30. I was so ecstatic that when I got back to the apartment, I began testing out the clothes. They all fitted and I looked good in them. "I'm sure alpha Finn helped you get that job," Artemis said and scoffed. "I wanted to stay all day in scho
FINN "I'm sorry, alpha Finn, I cannot do this." She said, itching the back of her neck. "Why can't you? It's non-alcoholic. If you finish it, I promise to buy you dinner for the rest of the year." I said enticingly. "No." She replied firmly. "Breakfast, lunch, dinner?" I added to my bribe. "No, thank you." "I could get you your own restaurant and then, you can hire as many people as you like. You'll be making lots of money in no time. All you have to do is finish this whole bottle of wine and it will be all yours." I studied her expression. I knew I had nailed the jackpot because she seemed to be thinking about my offer. People can easily be swayed by money, even if it means doing the thing they don't do. I've met lots of them before and after I became alpha. Even my Zaria fell for it. I believed Iris's case won't be any different. "That's a tempting offer you have there, alpha Finn, but sadly, I still won't do it. I don't drink that much and so, I won't do it." She said affir
IRIS I kept on thinking about what beta Damon meant by asking me to give alpha Finn all my blood. That night, I couldn't sleep. I kept thinking about his well-being. I was worried sick because he didn't leave in perfect shape. What if something bad had happened to him? I ended up staying awake all night. I was hopelessly tossing and turning on the bed. I needed to see the alpha. The next day at school, I saw him walking in the hallway but he walked past me without saying anything, not even answering my greeting. Did I do anything the previous day? Why was he treating me that way? I felt what he did wasn't fair. Was it because I refused to take the drink? But that shouldn't be enough to cause a problem. He freaking didn't speak to me. I got to my workplace in a sour mood. I didn't even bother speaking to Anya about the dating rumors with the new transfer kid. Yeah, I was that annoyed and infuriated. I ran like a dog just to get him good food and a drink and snubbing me was how he p
IRIS "I wonder what punishment he'll give to you. Maybe doing the janitor's work for two weeks or trimming the lawn or taking out the trash for a whole month or kitchen duty." Anya's words put fear in my heart. At first, I wasn't so scared but after meeting with her, my anxiety tripled. "By the way, Anya, I heard you're dating the exchange student. What happened to Roland?" I asked. "It's your fake dating plan, remember? He's helping me get Roland." She replied. "It's not my plan. You never discussed anything with me before taking that step. I told your brother that I'm no longer shipping that plan but you went ahead with it. Don't get me tangled up in your mess, okay? Do whatever you want but keep me out of it." I cautioned her. If any problem was to arise tomorrow, she would point fingers at me and I didn't want that. "Yes ma'am. You have nothing to do with it. Now, go face your punishment while I try and get the love of my life back." Anya patted my shoulder and walked away. S
