Unknown number
I frowned, then remembered.
Ky.
Ky: hope you got home safe, mystery girl.
A small smile tugged at my lips despite myself.
Me: I did. Thanks for checking.
Ky: good. I was starting to think you'd vanish into thin air.
I hesitated, then typed back
Me: something like that.
She sent a laughing emoji.
Ky: still, I'm glad I met you today. You have…energy.
I starred at the screen longer than necessary
Me: you flirt with everyone like this.
Ky:only the ones that catch my attention.
My phone buzzed again before I could reply.
Ky: dinner sometime?
Before I could respond, the bond stirred.
Strong. Familiar. Dominating..
The door opened.
I looked up just as Duncan stepped, inside his presence filling the room instantly. His jacket was gone, sleeves rolled up, hair slightly tousled like the meeting had irritated him.
His eyes found me immediately.
“You’re home,” he said.
I nodded. “Yeah.”
He crossed the room in long strides, stopping right in front of me. His gaze flicked to the phone in my hand, then back to my face.
“Did you get everything you needed?” he asked.
“Yes.”
Good.”
He reached out, cupped my face gently—unexpected softness for someone so powerful—and leaned down, pressing a slow, lingering kiss to my lips. Not rushed. Not demanding. Just… grounding.
My breath caught.
When he pulled back, his forehead rested briefly against mine.
“ I hate leaving you alone” he murmured. He took a long at my gown and smirked.
“ Is little wolf trying to seduce me?” He asked, his voice husky.
I smiled, and took it off.
He looked at me, something flicker in his eyes, I couldn't tell.
He stepped back and faced the window. I was confused.
Didn't he want to have s*x with me ?
“ Iris “ he called.
“ Yes,”I turned to him.
“ Are you ready for this?” He asked. “ I don't want to force you.”
I chuckled.
I can't believe a whole alpha Duncan is thinking twice about s*x.
Without any more words, I got on my knees and slowly pulled down his briefs. Again, he didn't move away. He didn't stop me. And so I took his hard c**k and licked up the pinkish head, tasting his precum.
A sharp grunt escaped his lips and his legs wavered slightly. Something about that fueled me and I began sucking him, taking in half his length.
Goddess, he tasted f*****g amazing I choked myself on his c**k, and he grunted again, fisting my hair.
I played with his balls while popping faster on bus c**k.
“ f**k,” be pulled away from me, with a ragged breath. No heads up, he scooped me off the ground and carried me to the bed.
~ Eunice
It's been 3 days, I thought having her locked would bring me peace, would make my happy. But it's look like the only thin I wanted to do was just to have a taste of her.
I walked down the cold corridor of the holding cells, my heels clicking sharply against the titled floor. Yes, so easy, for iris ivera to give when she thought she still had choices.
Poor little omega.
The air down here smelled like metal, sweat
, and fear. I loved it. It reminded people where they stood. Or rather, where they fell.
A guard nodded stifly when he saw me. “ Vice chancellor blackwood.”
“ I'm here to see the girl,” I said smoothly. “ Iris Rivera.”
He hesitated, “ she was… released earlier.”
I stopped walking.
“ Released?” I repeatedly softly.
“ Yes ma'am. Orders came in suddenly. Above my pay grade."
My fingers curled slowly at my sides.
Interesting.
Very interesting.
I stormed back to my office,the door slamming so hard the glass rattler in it's frame.
Released.
Just like that.
After everything, after the arrest, the charges, the fear I had instilled, iris ivera was simply….gone.
My hands trembled as I paced the room, heels biting into the polished floor. Non of these made sense. Duncan was many things, ruthless, calculating, cold when he needed to be but soft on this omega. Twice. f*****g twice.
Never.
Especially not an omega accused of killing someone.
Unless…
No.
I caught that thought off immediately.
He wouldn't.
Not Duncan.
Still, the unease crawled under my skin.
I snatched my phone from the desk and dialed his number. It rang twice before he picked up.
“ Eunice,” his voice came through calm, unreadable.
“ This is unexpected.”
I scoffed. “ Funny. I was thinking the same thing.”
Silence stretched between us, thick and dangerous.
“ Why,” I said slowly, carefully, “ was iris ivera released from custody?”
Another pause.
Then,” she didn't kill anyone.”
My jaw clenched. “ That's a lie..”
“i read the medical flies myself,” Duncan replied cooly. “ The boy is alive. Stable. And his statement doesn't match the charges.”
I laughed, sharp and humourles.” You went through All that trouble for an omega student.”
“ She's is alice best friend, and besides she was nearly assaulted on school grounds,” he snapped, the sneel finally slipping into his tone.
“ Under your watch.”
I stiffened.
“ So now you're blaming me ?” I shot back. “I did my duty. I followed protocol.”
“ You rushed the arrest,” he said. “ You didn't wait for confirmation. You wanted her locked away.”
“ I wonder why you hate this girl so much “ he said.
“ That's ridiculous,” I lied smoothly. “ I wanted Justice.”
“ Then be grateful it was served,” he replied.” This conversation is over.”
Before I could respond, the line went dead.
I starred at my phone, fury burning hot in my chest.
He'd hung up on me.
Duncan black wood had choose an omega over his own sister.
Why? Because of Alice. Then I'm going to tell him,that his precious daughter is a f*****g lesbian too.
“ Fine,” i whispered to my empty office. “ If you want to protect her so badly…”
I walked back to the desk and sat down, fingers tapping thoughtfully.”
“ Let's see how long you can keep protecting,and bailing her out if evey mess.”
Because one way or the other, Iris Rivera would belong to me.
