Thunder wolf book 2

Third Person POV

Iris, what is the problem?' Millicent asked, when she saw tears in her daughter's eyes.. She just came to check on her daughter after having a steamy mating session with the wolf king Sylvester.

'It's nothing mum!' she replied. 'It is finally over. I am free now!' she said, the tears starting up again. She had just had a lengthy discussion with her ex husband Adrian. After months of refusing to see nor speak with him.

'Oh, my baby, come here!' Millicent said, hugging her. 'You will be alright!'

Iris nodded, smiling through her tears.

'This was what you wanted, right? Or do you regret rejecting Adrian, would you rather go back to him?'

'Yes, this final break with him is what I want and hell, no! There's no going back to him for me', she replied hastily. 'I am just sad for what might have been, the pups I would have had'.

'You will be a mother as soon as you settle down with someone, I do not doubt it!' Luna Millicent consoled her. 'The Goddess will definitely compensate you for your loss!'

Iris nodded, wanting to believe her mother - that all was going to be alright. But was it? Fate had played a cruel trick on her, dangled the joy of motherhood' before her only to snatch it back. How was she sure she was ever going to be a mother?

'Since the saga of Adrian is over, do you have anyone else in mind yet?' Millicent asked.

'Mum!' she exclaimed in shock. 'It's too early yet. It is barely six months since Adrian and I broke up. Is it that easy to fall in love?'

'I thought that you might have developed feelings for his younger brother, Andrew, the new Alpha of the Moonlight pack!' Millicent teased.

Iris recalled, the last time Andrew had come visiting.

'You look stronger now, I'm glad!' he said.

'I can never thank you enough for all you did for me while I was in that hellhole of a marriage', Iris said, smiling gratefully at Andrew.

'I ask for pardon for myself and all the members of my family, for all we have put you through', he said,his face and voice very sorrowful. 'I feel ashamed to come from a family that has caused a kind and gentle soul like you, so much pain!'

'Do not say that Andrew. You didn't do wrong being born into your family', Iris said, taking his hands and looking into his eyes. Nothing that happened between our families, in the past and now is your fault nor mine. It is just the way some of our family members chose to respond to it that is to blame'.

'Iris', there is something I have been meaning to ask you', Andrew said hesitantly.
