Reject My Alpha President (Iris and Arthur) novel Chapter 14

Iris & Arthur

Iris

I should feel angry when I see those pictures. I should feel violated and self–righteous at the obvious invasion of my privacy.

But I don’t. Not really.

Instead, I just feel… sad.

Despite everything, I am Arthur’s fated mate. Even now, five years later, the unshakable bond that grips our most primal urges is

as strong as it ever was the kiss last night and my body’s reaction to Arthur’s proximity tonight have only proven that.

And yet, no matter what happens, I’m just his mistress. The other woman.

Arthur knew that, of course, five years ago. He made it abundantly clear when he decided to get publicly engaged to a werewolf

woman while having his human mistress hidden away at home, conveniently kept from the public eye.

Because it wouldn’t look good for the Alpha President of Ordan to have a human mate and wife, would it?

No, it wouldn’t. Ordan is still years behind Bo’Arrocan, and although humans have finally been given all of the same rights as

werewolves, we’re still seen as ‘lesser‘. Not even our own fated mates will ever see us as equals. I learned that the hard way five

years ago………

Which is precisely why, right now, I’m glad that I left Arthur all those years ago when I found out what he really thought of me. 1 thought he wasn’t like the others, but I was wrong. Even now, he only sees me as a gold digger who he can manipulate with

money.

Good riddance, I suppose.

Brian, however, is more furious than I am. “You know what?” he huffs, puffing his chest out and planting his fists on his hips in

that way he always does when he’s pissed, “I’m going to be attending the Ordan Alpha gathering in a few days. I’m gonna have

words with that asshole.”

I jolt up from my chair. “Brian, don’t-”

“No, I’m not gonna sit around and watch this prick ruin all of your hard work,” Brian insists, his eyes flashing dangerously.

“You’ve made great strides since you left him, and his selfish actions are overturning it all in the span of a night? I call bullshit.”

I’m not sure how to respond; when Brian has his mind set on something, then it might as well be engraved in stone. But I must

look panicked, because Brian takes a step forward and softens his tone, placing a hand on my shoulder.

“Don’t worry, darling. No one will know it’s you. Besides, the paparazzi didn’t even get a clear shot of your face.”

most people have never heard of beforehand. Selina and I know exactly how to smile and who to rub elbows with, what sort of

I already talked to Selina about it, of course. I told her that I just ‘happened‘ to run into Iris and assisted her with an injury,
