Mag-log inIris's POVFor the first time in my adult life...I wasn't alone. I felt the need to tell her everything, though I had the sense that she already knew."Benjamin rejected me because I couldn't shift, because you weren't there…."My wolf whimpered in consolation.“I felt like I was being punished, and my weight…the insults that came and…I wasn't enough."She immediately shook her head."Never say that again. I was never delayed to punish you. I was delayed to protect your future."I frowned."You deserve the best, not someone who abandons you when l
Iris's POVThe growl came again, this time it was much closer. My heart lurched as I slowly turned toward the dense trees.One pair of glowing yellow eyes appeared between the shadows, then another and another. Within seconds, more than a dozen wolves stepped out from the darkness, their matted fur stained with dirt and dried blood.They were feral wolves, drawn by the ongoing event. Unlike ordinary werewolves, feral wolves had long since lost their humanity. They hunted only to kill, recognizing neither rank nor mercy.Their lips curled back, revealing rows of razor-sharp teeth.I took a step backward but another wolf blocked my retreat. They had surrounded me.A low sound escaped my throat. "No..."One lunged at me so suddenly. I barely threw myself aside before its jaws snapped shut where my shoulder had been.I hit the ground hard, branches scratching my arms.Another attacked from the left and the rest followed in a crazed attempt of killing me.I scrambled between trees, gasping
Iris's POVHe looked exactly the same, maybe even more handsome.My heart betrayed me by skipping a beat.Standing beside him was Jade, the daughter of one of Red Crescent's oldest Alpha families.She was beautiful, slim, elegant with a rare white wolf, everything his council had wanted.Jade had always eyed our relationship with Benjamin ever since we were together, and she never fully hid her disgust of me. It was like she never understood why Benjamin would choose me of all the people. Not to mention that she had been fawning over him since childhood.People whispered as they watched them together."They look perfect together.""They're definitely soulmat
Iris's POVIt had been exactly two months since Benjamin ended our relationship in front of his entire pack. Some mornings, I still woke expecting to see a good morning message from him, but then reality reminded me of the rejection.I had left the southern continent the morning after the banquet and flown back to Blood Claw Pack without telling anyone except my parents.No one outside our family knew I had returned and that was exactly how I wanted it. I couldn't bear the thought of anyone seeing me like this.After returning to the largest house I'd ever called home, I chose the attic. Over the years, my mother had turned it into a reading place, filling it with bookshelves. And it became my hiding place.Every day, I curled up beside the attic’s window, watching clouds drift across the sky while pretending I wasn't thinking about him. I always failed miserably.A soft knock interrupted my thoughts."Iris?" It was my mom."You awake?""Yes." I responded.Rue stepped inside carrying
Iris' POV"She's twenty-one.""She has no wolf and no alpha gene""The other packs and noble families are laughing at us.""Our Alpha deserves someone stronger, someone worthy of him."Their voices drifted through the council chamber doors while I stood frozen outside."...she embarrasses the entire pack."I wanted to leave immediately but instead, I stayed."...there are daughters from six Alpha families willing to marry him. Right now we need a political marriage that will strengthen us…not a wolfless human."After that day...the whispers became open and the pack d
This is Volume 2, telling the story of Iris, daughter of Rue and Percy. Hope you enjoy it. Iris' POVMore than ten years had passed since my parents fought countless battles to build the peaceful lives they now enjoyed. People across the northern continent spoke their names with admiration. To some, my father, Percy, was the Alpha who united powerful packs. To others, my mother, Rue, was the woman who had survived impossible odds and stood beside him as an equal. Their story had become something of a powerful legend.But none of that had anything to do with me. As far as everyone outside our closest family knew, I was simply Iris, the daughter of two ordinary Betas from a small allied pack.That lie had protected me my entire life. It was my parents' decision.My mother had once told me that if people knew my real background, they'd never see me for who I was. That people are opportunists and that they won't be honest when they interact with me.My father had said that they wanted m

Aiden’s POVThen the screen lit up and everyone was silent.At first, no one spoke. The footage was unmistakably real, unedited, captured from a low angle that shook slightly with every movement. I recognized Rue’s voice before I even saw her face.“Before you even spout whatever it is you want to
Rue’s POVVicky’s relatives had already made themselves comfortable on the velvet couches as though they owned the place, their judgy tones filling the air.“I’m not saying you did that,” one aunt said, crossing her legs elegantly, “she’s the one who bought the villa for you? Right?”Vicky stiffene
