"Say goodbye to your dad."
Iris's blood froze as she clutched Leonard's hand more tightly with fear. Fear of losing her loved ones, her only family.
"No... No... You said you won't hurt him... No .....dad....." She started screaming hard while trying to remove his grasp from her body.
"Shhh..... You shout too much. Your dad is going back to his actual place. Your sweet home. Don't worry." The moment his words got finished grabbing her senses, she could see her father being held by three men. He knelt on the ground but his eyes were fixed on her.
"Leave her, Leonard. She means no harm. Let her go." His father screamed for one last time when Leonard passed him an ugly smirk.
"Your daughter has exchanged her life to save you. Don't you think you should be proud? At least you should be happy seeing her accepting our rules."
Iris understood nothing. First, she saw her father turning into a wolf along with another man. Later the man who was torturing them was speaking something that she couldn't understand a little. What rule? The only rule that a country follows is known to be the president's rule. How could that be possible that a man would speak such words?
What sort of rivalry they had in between? She had never seen her father hurting someone let betraying. How would such things even be possible to accept?
"Leonard, you are doing injustice to her," Tyler shouted again.
"I haven't even started with your daughter Tyler Lockwood. By the time I would finish with her, she wouldn't be able to differentiate between justice or injustice."
"No..... Leo....." Tyler tried to get up but a huge blow landed on his face making him stop his actions. Iris flinched at her place as she found more tears in her eyes.
"Dad... Please....dad... Leave....." Iris kept on crying knowing that only one of them could survive. And at that moment her father should survive. She knew if he survived, she would be rescued soon. But if her father had died in their arms, there would be no one to save her.
"No, Iris. I told you to get away from here." Tyler shouted seeing his only daughter wriggling in the arms of Leonard, the great Alpha King of Dark Moon Pack. People say he has a heart of stone and there are no words like lenient in his vocabulary. He never thought twice before ripping someone's heart off.
"Oh, what a lovely scene. Should I just watch the drama with a big bucket of popcorn? What do you say, Seth?" Leonard laughed, holding Iris more tightly in his grip while mocking their helplessness. For a father, the biggest painful moment was to watch his only daughter lying under the mercy of a ruthless Alpha.
"Leo, let her go." Tyler tried for the one last time when two of Leonard's meds grabbed him from behind.
"Your filthy mouth should call me Master or King or Alpha instead of Leo. I am just letting this go by considering your old relationship with my father. But a Rogue remains a Rogue, no matter what."
Tyler's self-respect never allowed him to bow down in front of any Alpha. His family had Alpha blood running in their veins. Since his father decided to leave the pack, he chose to leave also. But that day he bowed in front of Leonard to let his daughter go. Leonard didn't care. He straightway pushed Tyler and Jeremy inside a car to send them back.
"Send them to their respective houses and keep a close eye on them. I think killing them won't be that much fun. Rather Tyler should live the life just watching her daughter being a slave to me and my people."
Leonard's last word brought a separate sort of fear through Tyler's body. He knew exactly that her daughter had Alpha blood but she had no wolf in her. That means she was just a fragile human being. If Leonard would come down to his real torturous methods Iris won't survive.
"Dad......" Iris screamed for the last time when she saw her father and Jeremy being dragged away from there. The mere thought of not seeing her father stabbed her heart brutally. Her cries didn't stop as she kept on thrashing hard but in front of an Alpha, she was nothing but an epitome of weakness.
"Leo, she is like us. She won't be able to take it." Tyler shouted for one last time to save what was his. The last part of his love, Olivia, and his daughter Iris. For the first time, he regretted being a wolf. He regretted being a weak father who couldn't save his child.
"I will come back, Iris. I will....." Tyler mumbled under his breath while getting dragged away with lots of bruises and a bleeding body. They made sure that he suffered as much as possible. But that physical pain was nothing compared to what he was feeling in his heart because of losing his daughter. He could sacrifice his life but all he did was nothing but becoming a failure in his own eyes.
"I am sorry Olivia. I am sorry." Tyler cried with a growling making the woods pierced with his voice.
They did beat him up to make him unconscious before throwing his body in front of his house as per Leonard's order. Iris was still frozen at her place while watching them take away her father. The hand around her waist relaxed a little, turning her to face him.
All she could see were golden dazzling orbs with hatred, revenge, and many more.
"On your first attempt, you would run." Her father's last word ran in her mind when she realized the man had turned her to hold her by her wrist. She got a clear glimpse of his body. Even though he was all dressed in a black suit, his bulging muscles were prominent enough for anyone to see.
"So..... Let me introduce you to your new......" Leonard was taken off guard while speaking. He didn't expect her to pull such a stunt within such a short period. Iris raised her leg and gave a huge kick on his leg making him stumbled a little. Pushing him with his hand she released the wrist that was in his hold. As she got herself out a little the next thing she did was to run away from there to the direction of the airport.
Leonard was surprised to see her sudden courageous act. The girl who was crying a few minutes back for her father, just kicked him in his guts to make an easy escape for her.
She didn't look at those who were also present there with Leonard. Ignoring everything she ran towards the field that was leading to the woods.
Seth was the first person to run after her when Leonard stopped him raising his hand.
"She needs a reality check." Leonard chuckled while taking some long strides towards Iris. Iris was running like a madwoman without noticing anything. She didn't even bother to think that people behind her were werewolves and they could get to her easily. All she wanted was to run away from them.
To make sure no one was following her, she turned her face once and found herself away from that group of men. Releasing a little sigh she turned her face and immediately froze at her place. Leonard was standing in front of her. She didn't understand how and from where he just popped up in front of her.
"No..." She whispered while taking a few more back steps. She knew running back in the old direction would make her go back to those men. But walking forward would also not do some good as the man standing in front was the sole reason for her miseries.
Her back footing stopped when she realized she was stuck between two major problems. Before she could make another decision of running towards left or right instead of backward and forward, she saw him take a big leap towards her. His jump from a distance of a few meters towards her was just a frightening sight that she fell back on the ground on her back with fear. All she could see was that the man once standing meters away was turning into a big monstrous creature in the air.
"Ahhh...." She screamed in pain when the rough ground made an impact with her soft back and a sharp pain shot through her body. The creature was nothing but the biggest wolf she had ever seen which landed just on her with his two paws beside her head.
The wolf hovered over her and brought his large face towards her tiny face. Her body was caged under him and all she could see was the opening of his mouth with the sharp teeth. Those eyes were burning with fire and the very next moment all she heard was a large growl making her deaf almost in the position.
The sight was so frightening that she prayed to die at once instead of getting ripped off by his teeth. Her head started spinning, the pain she felt in her back started increasing to a certain level that her body stopped responding. Her breathing was ragged and all she could see was nothing but the monster hovering over her.
Slowly she tilted her face a little as some other sound of movements caught her attention. When she finally got a clear view of her surroundings she saw more than five wolves of different sizes circularly surrounding her was hovering over her taking her breath away, now the rest of the wolves with their open teeth and small growling made her tremble like a small leaf.
"You brought it on you, Iris." Her subconscious mind mocked her. Knowing that Leonard was some sort of leader she kicked him in his guts. So it was evident that his men won't let her go easily. With all those Wolves standing around her all she could imagine was getting ripped off just in a fraction of a second. The pain would be unbearable she knew.
When she turned her gaze on the wolf hovering after getting a glimpse of her surroundings her mind froze and the dizziness hit her hard. She started seeing black dots appearing in front of her eyes.
"No......" She screamed for one last time when the wolf growled and showed his open teeth bringing his mouth near to her throat.
Before rolling down in her abyss of darkness the last thing she remembered was the burning gaze of the wolf who was ready to rip her flesh off.
She didn't know how much time had passed but when she opened her eyes with the utmost difficulty, she found herself lying on the surface of a car. Both of her hands were tied at her back and both of her legs too. There wasn't anything else apart from the pain that was coming due to the harshly tied rope. Groggily she looked at the men sitting inside the big expensive car and her breath hitched just with a mere sight of it. Leonard was sitting in the car and she was just lying at his feet like dirt. His face narrowed when he found her gaining consciousness. There was an ugly smirk plastered on his face that had nothing to do with any positive or good vibes. In the very next moment, his voice reached her ears making her froze in her place.
"Welcome to hell Rogue's daughter."
