DYLAN"Any other suggestions that would be useful to prevent the wild ones from attacking our people?" Coniel, one of the Alphas, questioned but was met by a deafening silence. We were all gathered in the Druid pack for a conference slated to help out packs.With my hand firmly rested on my jaw, I tried my utmost best to think of something. The attack of the wild ones had been going on for a very long time and so far, we have heard and received cases of people who had been attacked and hurt by them.The wild ones were werewolves who had lost their basic and moral instincts. They were fueled by rage and their purpose was basically to kill and destroy. Over time, we tried different strategies to stop the killings but to no avail."Why don't we gather troops and kill them off one after the other?" Aiden, another Alpha present at the meeting, voiced out his opinion, and the rest of the Alphas present chimed in agreement."But that would take days," I blurted out. "And the killings will st

DYLAN"About what Alpha Arnold said the other day, do not take it to heart, Alpha. He has always been known for his foul mouth. I still don't understand how you two became friends in the first place," Kavan tried to console me as we took a stroll around the mansion.He had come to visit and drop off some files that I was supposed to work on, but I knew that it was only an excuse to see Iris."Arnold..." I began, my hands folded behind my back as I walked. "Arnold has never always been like that. He was a good friend who had always stood by me. I honestly don't know where and how it all went up in flames.""It's his loss anyways. Don't beat yourself up about it. Besides, he would have to apologize to you during the next Alphas' conferences." Beta Kavan primped, but I didn't utter a single word. To be honest, I didn't care if he apologized or not. I already had a lot going on for me and this wasn't exactly one of them."I will look through the files that you have brought and if there's

IRISTerrified!That's the only word to to describe how I felt at this point. I couldn't believe that those men had tried to attack me. What if Mr. Wolfman wasn't there to defend me when they had come for me? What if they had forcefully slept with me? What would I have done?I was still pissed with what he had told me during lunch and as if I hadn't suffered enough for one day, this also had to happen."Luna Iris?" The maid called out to me, and I snapped back to reality. I had just finished my bath and she was helping me get ready.She had discarded my torn clothes and had gotten me a new dress to put on. I was grateful for her efforts. If she wasn't there to help me, I probably wouldn't be able to do anything by myself. I was too shaken to even think straight at this point. This was far more than I had anticipated to happen today.It was supposed to be a fun filled day but so far, there was nothing fun about it."All done, Luna." She said to me. I immediately went in search of Mr.

DYLAN"How is she, doctor? Would she be alright?" I asked the doctor who has just finished running his exams on Iris who laid there on the bed still unconscious. She hasn't woken up all night, and I was utterly worried that she might not wake up at all.The lashes that were given to her were something that even the strongest women before her, from different packs couldn't finish. Most of them screamed after one whip and the others forfeited even before it got started, but how was she able to keep going?She was a human. A mere mortal who had no wolf strength to withstand the pain of a whip made out of wolf's aconite? The strongest substance that could take out a wolf or an entire pack! Just how in the goddess name was she able to achieve such a feat? It hasn't happened before, and just thinking about it had me puzzled.I had thought that she would show any form of resistance. Given her history of always fighting and arguing with me, I expected her to opt-out, but she didn't. She stood

DYLANThe maids took Iris back to her bedroom as per my instruction and I was left worried again about how she had gotten the letter in the first place. My mansion was the most secure place in the entire pack, so the fact that someone was able to make it inside meant that they are familiar with this place and had been here before. But who?Who should I be suspecting now? Who was that friend/enemy that wanted me dead for unknown reasons? As far as I was concerned, I was a one-man island. I didn't interact or socialize with anyone, not even the neighbouring Alphas of the other packs. I didn't have an issue with anybody and I barely exist. So why was someone after me? What exactly did I do, and to whom?And what role did Iris have to play in all of this? Are they probably trying to use her to get to me simply because she was my mate? She has barely been here for a month and she hadn't gotten into any problems as far as I was concerned. So why then are they after her? And for what reason?
