IRIS
Sunrise came, and Iris woke up feeling strong and energetic.
The smile wiped off her face when she remembered how Zoe had wounded her severely and taken away her diamond pendant.
She was surprised though… Why did her body feel free, and it like nothing wrong with her? Normally, if she went through one of her numerous tortures, by the next morning everywhere would feel heavy, and she wouldn’t even be able to move. But now… Her sides no longer hurt, and the red mark from Zoe’s finger on her face was gone to
She knew this, because she picked up the small mirror by her bedside and her face was clear and free.
"What the hell? What happened?”
“Your wolf powers are active now. You've been healed.” A voice said within her, and Iris instantly recognized the familiar voice of her wolf, Aqua Rose whom she had been introduced to last night.
“Oh my goodness.” Iris exclaimed as a tear fell down her face, “Thank you Aqua Rose, thank you.”
“You are welcome." Her wolf said again and this time it added subtly, “Happy 18th birthday Iris Elsher.”
“Woah!” She exclaimed, looking at the wall clock in the room and realizing that it was five minutes past five am. It was still very early in the morning still, she bemused.
Crying and feeling terrible about my situation had made her forget about her birthday even, Iris swiped at her face as a bubbly feeling arose within her.
Todays was her birthday, and she had to be happy despite her circumstances. Worse still she had so many reasons to be joyful, because now she had a wolf. A very nice wolf that had finally shown up just when she needed her the most at her lowest and darkest hour. She couldn’t be more grateful.
"From now on, It's going to be me and you. I’ll be with you always.” Aqua Rose chimed.
"Thank you, Aqua. I won't be alone. I’m so happy. This is the best birthday gift ever.”
"You were never alone from the start. I've always been here with me,, but you couldn't hear or sense me until now. Also let me tell you a secret too…” Hee wolf said almost like a whisper in her head adding, “You will meet your mate very soon."
"Wait, what? A mate? How soon? I don’t understand.” Iris asked, jumping out of her bed in shock.
The idea of a mate was something that had never occurred to her before, even though she had it at the back of her mind that she was probably mated to someone somewhere. Now, hearing this she came to the realization that she was surprisingly looking forward to this.
"Very soon dear mate, very soon. I can’t disclose much.” Hee wolf said, much to Iris’s disappointment. . That's all I got, Dear."
Her mate… Now she was feeling excited. Iris could still remember how much her parents who were fated to each other, adored themselves. How her father was always in love with her mother, treating her like the queen that she was. He would move mountains for her sake, and that love he passed down to Iris and Shawn. The memory was a painful one, but then Iris somehow felt that her mate would treasure me just as much, and she would be unimaginably happy with him.
Apart from having her wolf, she would have a mate and she would never be alone. Instantly her stomach rumbled very loud, and remembering her starvation punishment today, Iris knew if she wanted to get any food today she would have to steal it.
She had to do it fast too, and now that it was early too, she could arrange her things and go look for something to eat finally. A smile on her face, as she reminisced once again that she finally had someone who was going to care for her, Iris went about her work.
Even though the room was dimly lit as the morning sun had not risen all to well, it took Iris less than some minutes to put her room back in order, and she was able to arrange all the clothes and items the soldiers had destroyed in the course of their search.
When she finished, Iris decided to rest a bit, plopping her a*s on her bed, her hands instinctively going to the pendant on her neck but she froze… It was no longer there. Zoe still had it.
"Let's go get it from her then." Her wolf urged her on, but smiling a bit in fear Iris shrugged the thought of, “Let me just get something to eat, before anyone notices.”
A few minutes later, Iris was already walking down the corridor. Everywhere was empty, just as she had predicted, and if she was fast then she could get to the kitchen immediately, without anyone noticing.
Suddenly the strong scent of a strange rosemary perfume wafted towards her, and like magic the scent which was becoming stronger pulled her forwards, diverting her from what she initially wanted to do.
Iris didn’t know why she was feeling a strong pull to this unfamiliar scent, but her instinct was telling her that this could be her mate, no matter how unreasonable it sounded. How would her mate live in the same castle with her. It was most unlikely, and she tried to think about who this person could be.
The scent was pulling her closer to a familiar door which she recognized as Zoe’s door. The oak door which was a bit open, and now tiptoeing as she stood still, the scent only increased, more strong and potent than before.
And that’s when she heard it… The sounds or moans rather, and craning her ear, Iris listened.
"Oh damn. Your d**k is so good. I love it!"
She paused, freezing instantly as she recognized that it was Zoe speaking.
"Baby, f**k me! Yeah, just like that!"
Zoe was having s*x! It was clear she was enjoying whatever was happening so much, and Iris could hear the sound of flesh hitting, the movement sounding like some engine belts.
A blush up her cheek, Iris’s heart began to bang hard as something invisible propelled her further and before she knew it she had pushed the door open albeit violently and she saw them. Wrapped together, she saw a man on top of Zoe and he kept on f*****g her.
Frozen in shock, watching this illicit but arousing scene, the two people involved were so far gone in their pleasure that they didn't notice she was standing there.
Iris staggered back, wanting to leave but then the man craned his face to the side and that’s when a gasp escaped her lips as she recognized him.
It was handsome Conan Vitale, the biological son of Luna Thalia, and the upcoming Alpha of the Taurus Moon Pack.
Conan was the worst type of man to ever exist, and that she knew because she had come across him. He was a drunkard, flirt and womanizer who had slept with a lot of women. Even some maids in the palace.
Iris knew how long he had come into her, showing some interest but she always warded of his advances. f**k! Iris despised him.
Now though she was seeing him in the worst position ever. He was sleeping with Zoe, his sister, adopted sibling rather and she just couldn’t believe it. This was a taboo, and even though they were not related by blood, it was just so unthinkable.
She heard him groan loudly, his face thrashing wildly and then realization hit her hard. This scent that had brought her here was definitely not Zoe’s, so could it be Conan’s?
Oh, God gracious! Was this rascal supposed to be her mate?
A sudden wave of irritation flooded her whole body, and staggering back she decided to leave sharply but it was to late.
Conan Vitale had seen her, and his mouth wide open, he held her in place with his piercing blue eyes while he continued to slide in and out of Zoe.
Oh f**k!

CONAN’S POV
Conan had been smashing Zoe in her room when a scent had invaded his senses.
Since he was doing something more important, he ignored it completely focusing on f*****g Zoe. Distraction wasn't an option now.
The scent became more vital, and it was almost impossible to ignore, but he was so sure that it was berries of some kind even though he had no idea what type.
He rarely heard someone’s scent from afar this way, and instantly he had an intense apprehension that his mate had arrived.
Still shaking the thought, he had focused on bringing Zoe to the brink of an o****m, and just when he was almost done, he swiveled his face to the side and that’s when he saw her…
Iris Elsher, our servant!
Her grays eyes trapped his blue ones, Conan’s gaze roved over her in her flimsy tattered nightwear, and the satisfied look on his face earlier turned to one of l**t instantly, while she still stared back obviously disgusted at the sight in front of her.
What he was doing now, was f*******n but no one knew, and she wouldn’t say a thing because no one would believe her.
"Iris, what a surprise.” He said slowly with a wink while he continued to slam his d**k in Zoe.
Surprisingly seeing Iris, turned him on more than he could imagine and he wished she would get n***d and join them, but his illicit train of though got interrupted as his d**k fell out from Zoe and jumped up of the bed, yelling her lungs out.
"You thieving b***h! What are you doing here? Huh? Get out! Get the f**k out." Zoe screamed at Iris, as she scrambled to put on her clothes. Conan knew she was feeling embarrassed to have been caught, but as for him he didn’t feel a thing at all.
Iris turned around to leave, and immediately he felt a tugging in his chest, a yearning he couldn’t understand. He had no idea what was happening, and he didn't understand why he was feeling this war, but he couldn’t let Iris go, at least not now.
"Wait, come here.” He said, scrambling out of the bed, as he wore his robe and walked towards a stiff Iris.
"What are you doing Conan? We're not done here why are you calling her back?” Zoe whined angrily, but Conan didn’t care at all instead he spat out nonchalantly, “Give us some space. I need to talk to Iris about something."
His eyes cold, Zoe was about to protest but saw the look he was giving her and even though this was her room, she knew better than to just obey his request.
She started to close the door, but before she did, she whirled around this time facing Iris as she threatened, “If anyone hears of this, I’ll make sure you rot in hell.” “Be careful! Conan is mine. Got it!" She yelled again, pushing at Iris before finally leaving.
Soon, they were alone, and he gestured for Iris to come in. With her curves swaying him, and l*****g his lips in anticipation, Conan was hypnotized by her small form. Hypnotized by the fact that she aroused him.
Her head bent, shy at the same time she asked slowly, “So. Why am I here? What do you want from me?”
That scent from earlier increasing again, his hormones heightening and his wolf leaping, Conan finally knew the reason why he freaking felt this way. He said softly, a satisfied smirk on his face, “I'm sure you know why.”
“Huh?” She asked confused, and he replied with a wink, “You are my mate!”.
