A/N: Sorry guys for leaving a cliff hanger on the last chapter. The ending of this chapter is a cliffhanger as well so I am updating two chapters today for my lovely readers. Enjoy!

*************

 Karen's POV

All the men in my team, Kevin, Caspian, and Darius shoot from up their chairs and I stand up too. Kevin glares at Lucian, his nostrils flaring and Lucian chuckles. 

This guy is bound to mess his face up if he doesn't stop this right now.

"You say one more word about my girlfriend and I will drive my sword through you, dog!" Kevin snarls at Lucian.

"She is your girl? Now, why would this little beauty want to be yours?" Lucian chuckles.

"That is none of your business!" Iris stands up and yells at Lucian's face, starling him and he takes a step back.

"Alpha Lucian, I suggest you chose your words wisely if you want this meeting to be peaceful!" I warn him. I see Caspian and Darius shooting daggers at him. 

Good! I need a strong company for this.

"I did chose my words wisely and asked you for what I want. And all I am asking for is for you to leave her here," he smirks. But before anyone else could say anything, Iris speaks up.

"And why do you want me to stay here?" she asks him, head held high.

"What if I don't want to tell you the reason, little one?" he asks and I see her clench her fists tight.

"I am not staying here!" she says sternly.

"Why, are you afraid of this little boy here?" he asks her, nodding his head towards Kevin. Kevin is beyond angry, I am sure if Lucian says one more outrageous thing about Iris, he's going to lose it.

"Alpha Lucian, I won't tolerate you insulting my friends!" I warn him.

"Princess, if I don't get what I ask for, I will have to take harsher steps," he says.

"And what may they be?" asks Caspian, through clenched teeth.

"Do you lot really think that you can win against my pack?" he smirks. 

Of course, we can win. I have Darius, Caspian, and two other strong and trained humans next to me. And oh dear dog, you haven't seen me fully yet!

"Are you suggesting a fight?" I ask my hands folded.

"There is no reason to fight if you just leave her here. And I promise you, we all will look after her very dearly," he says with a devilish smile and Kevin loses it. He grabs Lucian by his collar and pins him to the wall.

"I told you, I won't hesitate to drive my sword through you, you little bitch!" he yells through gritted teeth. And he won't hesitate! I know that! He will just do that.

My blood is boiling inside me and I have kept my calm this whole time But this guy has no intention of letting us leave. So not anymore.

I slam my palm hard on the table, so hard that the vase on the center falls down. Kevin loosens his grip on Lucian and turns to me. But once Lucian sees me, his eyes widen. He straightens his shirt and walks over to the table.

"Sit back down!" I order him. He doesn't budge and I slam my hand once again on the table and yell louder.

"I said. Sit. Back. Down!" I order angrily. This time he hesitantly walks over to the chair and places himself down.

"Good. Now I am going to tell you one thing, Alpha Lucian. You mind your own business and let us out of here since we were doing the same thing or trust me, you just won't like the consequences." I snarl, placing both the heels of my hands on the space of the table in front of him and leaning over.

"If you think that your pack is stronger than us, you are wrong. Let us be our own selves and we can still be in peace. Or else you will be calling for destruction upon yourselves." Darius warns his one hand on his sword.

"I don't care about you, Alcott. Who is she and how is she able to command me like that?" he grunts.

"I believe I already introduced myself," I say.

"You are not a mere Eponian." He says.

"Yes, and that's exactly why we are stronger and you should be careful of what you say next," I smirk.

"Hasn't the moon goddess already assigned you a mate?" Iris scoffs.

"What if I say that you are that mate?" he asks and Kevin tenses up beside me. But Iris seems quite relaxed.

"I know I am not because you would have flinched the first time you touched me, which you didn't. Or considering your behavior, you would have marked my scent already. Which would have caused further chaos. And an Alpha werewolf never treats his mate in such a disgraced way." she explains. 

Proud of you my friend!

"You seem to know everything, little one. Care to explain to me what kind of a creature your friend here is?" he asks her, pointing his finger at me.

"Well, you just have to touch me again, and you can see it yourself, dear Alpha," she smirks. She is giving him the sass that I am living for. And I am not going to say one thing. She will treat him well, and I know that.

"Why are you clinging to this little boy here?" he asks.

"Didn't this little boy just pin you to that damn wall, and you weren't able to move an inch?" she counters.

"I can rip his throat out within a blink of an eye and you wouldn't like to see that!" he huffs.

"Well, I can shoot my arrows to your heart before you can even see it, and you wouldn't like that either," she smirks. "And my brothers here wouldn't hesitate to help me if it comes to that," she says to him, pointing at Darius and Caspian. Caspian has a proud smile on his face and Darius smirks.

"When did the Prince Brothers have a sister?" he asks.

"Since you decided to take your chance on us to satisfy your filthy little mind," she grunts.

Lucian smirks. "You are feisty, but all that will change when you moan my name, darling." And with that, she loses it. Iris slaps him hard across the face that his face is thrown to the other side and grabs his collar harshly.

"You want me as your personal toy till you find your mate? Huh?" she yells and punches him in the same direction again. "Sorry dude but you got the wrong girl!" she says but Lucian grabs her waist and pushes her backward with full force. She is backward but Kevin catches her before she can fall.

Iris' POV

The scoundrel gets up from his chair and begins to stomp towards me but Karen launches forward and grabs his throat, pushing him harshly towards the wall and pinning him there.

I guess she tightens her fingers around his throat because I can see his face turning purple. Kevin is holding me firmly and I have the urge to punch that bastard's face over and over again until he bleeds. I struggle in his arms to launch on that him, but Kevin holds me firmly in place.

Caspian comes forward to me while Darius rushes over to Karen to kick the Alpha's ass. He cups my face and asks me to calm down while Kevin restraints me from behind.

"Calm down...Katarina will deal with him. Iris, the rest of the pack is going to come here soon and we need to think straight to fight them too. Calm down!" he says.

I calm my breathing down and look for my bow on the table. Once Caspian notices this, he grabs it from the table and hands it over to me.

"Here...see, this is what I taught you to do, okay! We both are going to kick some wolf asses with our bows, okay?" he asks and I nod my head. "And Kevin bro, you and I, we're going to break that dog's spine today!" he says patting Kevin on the shoulder.

"I want to do it! I will break that, you guys just assist me! He wanted me, I will give me to him!" I say and Caspian and Kevin smirk.

"I love you so much!" Kevin squeezes my shoulders and presses a lingering kiss to my cheek.

"I am so proud of you, Iris dear!" Caspian says. The door behind us bursts open and a bunch of fuming men stands before us. "Now let's go fight some dogs, shall we?" he stands up offering his hand to me which I gladly take.

The three of us stand up and I see Karen and Lucian engaged in super-heated combat. Her eyes haven't stopped glowing that beautiful gold ever since he said that outrageous demand. Darius walks over to me to check if I am okay and I and Caspian load our bows and rise at the pack waiting to fight us.

They launch at us and I immediately shoot one in the leg and he falls down. I pull out three arrows and aim at three others the next time, all of whom I easily takedown. Kevin slashes one in the leg with his sword and blood splatters across his shirt. Arrows fly from both mine and Caspian's bows, while Darius harshly slams some people on the ground.

I shoot two of them in their buffy biceps and one comes from my side to grab by my waist but I hit his guts with the end of my bow. That was a good one. Never in my life, I thought I will fight werewolves and now here I am!

But suddenly, I feel my hair being pulled roughly from behind and my back hits a hard, warm chest. My head lifts and a thick arm slides around my throat, squeezing it and my body feels limp as I feel it being lifted from the ground.
