Iris's POV
I don't know what came over me, the mere fact that Damien was subjecting my pack members to slavery and treating them worse had made me lose my control, I was burning and hurting at the same time, and all I could think of then was to kill him, destroy him, that I didn't know that I was possessing some kind of power that I haven't still mastered
It was so painful and it hurt, that I was even going to harm myself, suddenly, Rupert's lips smashed against me, that was it, I got my solace, I became calm, slowly he moved his lips on mine, I was enjoying it, when he pulled off.
"Why did you stop?"
"You this crazy girl." He pulled from me going back to the table.
"Come on you shouldn't stop kissing me, I bet you like me..."
"Shut up and sit your ass down." His voice is always commanding now, oh! He is soon going to be the next alpha of this pack. "You shouldn't stop thinking about irrelevant stuff and focus on what just happened, you are turning into something else because of anger, you don't want to end up becoming a monster if you can't control it."
He is right, if he wasn't here, I don't know what I would have done to myself. He stretched the water to me, I gulped without saying a word.
"First thing, tomorrow, I will take you to my cage."
"Personal cage."
"Yes, that is where I found myself, when I wasn't able to control the energy in me, my father brought me there, so I could balance it, at fourteen, I realized that I possessed some strange energy and that was the first time, I went to war, I killed thousands of soldiers, of white moon pack, no one thought that, we could defeat them because they are the largest pack as at then."
"Going to war, even before having your wolf is not anything a father will wish for his son but I insist on going with them, Russel already had his wolf then, so he was free to go."
"I wasn't thinking I would survive but I did I came home victoriously, but the next couple of days for me, were hell, I couldn't control anything around me, and all I thought of doing was fighting a war, so Father built that for me."
"You were always isolated?" He nodded then smirked. "You are more handsome when you do that."
"Iris go to bed." He stood up, I blushed at his actions.
"Not even a good night kiss."
"No, go to bed if you don't want me pouncing on you."
"Of course, I won't..." He was gone before I completed my words, I tittered at his actions, how bold have I become, flirting with a man shamelessly? Is it me who is doing all this or Sally?
The next morning, Rupert saddled me on his horse, and we will be riding to the personal cage as he called it, we were using a horse because it was not accessible by car, this was my first time riding a horse, and I was excited to see it and to ride with him.
"You two can be together, maybe, you will finally get laid."
"Sally!" I called in frustration, I blushed. "It will not be a bad idea if he has me."
"Iris, what are you thinking?" His breath caressed my face, as he turned to look at me, I was sitting behind him with my hand around his waist, and my face resting on his back close to his shoulder.
"Nothing important, you will like to know."
"Of course, I want to know everything."
"It's your call." I grinned, he didn't budge, so I decided to tell him. "Are you going to have me laid in the..."
Rupert nudged the horse, and the horse galloped faster, I laughed in my head, at how uneasy I had made him, I could feel he also wanted me badly I wondered that is holding him back. My grip tightened on his waist, he was going fast.
"Should I go slow?"
"Uh!" I didn't know what to tell him, not getting an answer from me, he reduced his speed. "You don't have to slow down because of me. I said. I am perfect."
He chuckled! "Really?"
"Of course!!!"
"You said so." He nudges the horse harder and the never it seems we are flying. The wind whipping my face, and my hair flying beside me and in front of me, the trees, house, and lakes, were passing so fast that I began to get scared, I grabbed his waist tighter than the former, this must be uncomfortable for him but he didn't say anything. I could feel Rupert was waiting for me to give up and tell him to stop. I was feeling dizzy and sick at the same time, I closed my eyes tight trying to ignore the urge to vomit but I couldn't fight it anymore.
I tap on his back. "Please stop, I beg you stop. I was whispering hoping he could hear."
"Suddenly the horse came to a halt. Are you okay?" Before he could assist me down, I got off the horse and rushed to the nearest trees, I emptied all that was in my tummy, Rupert was beside me now, he grabbed my hair gently behind, massaging my back with his other hand, I wanted to stop him because I was feeling embarrassed.
"It's fine, I am sorry." I raised my head to look at him, after emptying my tummy, It's not his fault, I am the one acting all tough. I won't have increased the speed, I was been naughty. He wiped the side of my lips with his handkerchief and gave me water to drink. "Go on and drink." He urges me, pulling the water to my lips, he pushes my hair behind my ear.
His eyes didn't leave me as I took a sip from the water, his concern was something that I hadn't seen in Damien, my rejected mate.
"Thanks, I am fine now, let's continue." I pulled his hand, I didn't want us to delay further because of me, I know he is a busy man, and staying away from his pack so long would not be a good idea
"It's fine, let's rest a bit, I too am tired." He pulled me, to the foot of a tree, I was sitting close to him but I was tired, I wanted to rest on something. He uses his hand to pull me to himself, causing me to rest on his shoulder.
"So in a week from now, you will be the alpha of this pack."
"Maybe!"
"Aren't you excited about it?" He lowers his eyes and looks at me.
"Is it something to be excited about?" His eyes are that of someone who doesn't want to be an alpha but has no choice. "Don't get me wrong, I want to protect my pack, I want them to feel safe, and the only way I could do that is to become the alpha, my brother will never be a good alpha and I know he is bitter because he is supposed to be the alpha."
"But the pack pick you?"
"They picked me because they thought I could protect them, they still see me as the beast, their nightmare."
"I don't think so, your handsome face, is one that everyone wants to wake up beside."
"Are you flirting with me, right now?"
