IRIS.I was still crying when I heard someone knock at the door. “Iris…” Alpha Draco’s voice came. “Let me in.”I wanted to tell him I needed more time, but after what he had done for me, he deserved to know what was going on in my mind. So I wiped my tears and opened the door. I thought I would go out, but instead, he stepped inside and closed the door behind him.“Are you okay?” He asked before he cupped my face, tilting my head up to meet his gaze. “I’m sorry that I embarrassed you there,” I mumbled.“You didn’t do anything wrong. Alessio forgot that you’re not me. We are used to being direct and always putting each other down and not caring how the other feels.” He said while wiping the dry tears from my face with his thumbs. “He’ll apologize once we get back there. Or if you don’t want to, I can find a new doctor. But Alessio was right that he’s the best man for this job. He spent years practicing this profession and is currently conducting studies on wolves that remained dor

DRACO. Iris told me I was giving her a lot of firsts, but she had no idea she was also giving me many first experiences and emotions. And honestly, I had no idea how to handle it.I would not deny that I took women to dinner, and I couldn’t count the number of times I took Felicity to five-star hotels. But there was never a moment when any of those women I dated offered to pay the bill. Yes, I got invited to dinners, but mostly they would ask or request to be taken here or there. Only Iris had vocally offered to pay, and she was even willing to use the little money she had saved for many years. I knew it would never happen because I would not let her use any of the allowance money I gave her for anything except herself.I picked up my phone and called my Beta the moment Iris left my office. I asked him to book a reservation at the new hotel in the city and ensure we had a secluded area, as I didn’t want too many eyes on us tonight. After the call, I continued with my paperwork until

IRIS.“Are you crushing on me, Iris?” The Alpha asked.I wasn’t sure what expression I should produce, so I just continued beaming at him even though my heart was thundering. “Hmmm… Aren’t girlfriends supposed to be crushing on their boyfriend? More so, fiancée?” I raised my hand, flashing him my engagement ring.He chuckled and let out a sigh. “I didn’t say that because you saved me from Constantine, and you’re giving me an allowance. I said that because you are really handsome.”“You can’t fall in love with me, little bird.” He said out of nowhere.And although my eyes wanted to widen, I was able to hold myself back. “Why not?” I asked almost immediately.“I don’t believe in love.” He said nonchalantly. He was trailing his finger on the rim of his wineglass without taking his eyes off me. “I did for a while. But if a mate bond could fail, then I don’t think an ordinary thing like love is even possible.”My heart clenched at his words. I saw the pain in his eyes, no matter how he tr

DRACO.When our dinner was over, we went to the bar to have a drink.As the night progressed, Iris got easily drunk. She was already giggling from all that she consumed, and there wasn’t even much. It was not the loud, boisterous giggling, but the soft one that you wouldn’t hear or know until you saw her shoulders shaking. Unlike other women who become talkative when they’re drunk, she was getting too quiet and just kept mumbling when she talked. Before I knew it, she was already sitting on my lap while she told me stories I couldn’t even understand.Because aside from the fact that she was already mumbling, she had her lips on my shoulder, muffling more of the sound of her voice. But I just let her continue to talk and leaned her whole body on me while I waited for Liam to pick us up. All the while, I knew everyone’s attention inside the bar was on us.But I didn’t mind. The more they see me with Iris, the more they will forget about Felicity —how she left me and announced her engag

IRIS. The Alpha didn’t come home and was also nowhere to be found in the packhouse on Sunday morning. I was already beginning to worry, and to add to that, our engagement party was tomorrow night. My dress had already been delivered, but I wasn’t even sure if he had his clothes prepared. Or worse, if the party would still happen.Last night, I barely slept because I had a bad dream—he canceled the engagement during the event itself and threw me out of his territory. I then found myself in a dense forest, face-to-face with Constantine. I woke up crying and trembling. I knew it was my fault that I didn’t ask him about it. I really assumed he didn’t want a kid. But I knew for myself that if he wanted one, and he promised not to abandon them, I would give him as many as he wanted. I had already lost his trust, and I remembered him telling me he never gave second chances to anyone. I was sure I would not be an exception. But I wasn’t going out without a fight or explaining myself. So w
