``` “Kenapa kamu punya bekas luka?” Tiba-tiba, Iris mengubah topik, saat ia menatap mata Cane. Ia masih mencengkeram lengan bajunya. “Ayahmu yang memberi,” jawab Cane. Ia berpikir, Iris tidak akan mengingat percakapan ini ketika dia terbangun. “Itu pasti sangat menyakitkan.” “Iya.” “Apakah bekas lukanya bisa sembuh?” “Kurasa tidak.” Memang malam bisa membuatmu rentan dan membiarkanmu mengatakan sesuatu yang tidak akan pernah kamu akui saat terang. Kegelapan melunakkan hatimu. “Sayang sekali. Kamu memiliki jiwa yang hangat.” Iris mengerutkan keningnya sedikit. “Aku tidak lagi memiliki jiwa.” Ia telah menjual jiwanya demi kebebasan orang-orangnya. Kini tidak ada yang tersisa darinya. “Ada, kamu punya, tetapi kamu sedang menderita.” Iris berkedip. “Binatang buasmu sedang menderita. Kamu memiliki begitu banyak bekas luka.” “Bekas luka yang aku punya hanya di wajah.” Iris menggelengkan kepalanya dengan lemah. “Aku tidak berbicara tentang wajahmu. Aku berbicara tentang jiwamu. Sayang sekali, kamu sangat menderita… apa yang ayah dan saudaraku lakukan padamu pasti menyakitkan...” Dan setelah itu, Iris menutup matanya dan tertidur. ====================== Dia adalah anak perempuan dari seorang alfa yang telah membunuh keluarganya, membakar kawanan dan juga menjadikan orang-orangnya sebagai budak. Kini, setelah sepuluh tahun diperlakukan sebagai budak, ia berhasil membalas dendam dan menjalani kehidupan yang tak pernah dibayangkan siapapun. Kehidupan mirip neraka. Dan sepuluh tahun kemudian, Alpha Cane berhasil mengambil alih dan membunuh alfa yang telah membuat kehidupan orang-orangnya lebih buruk dari kematian. Saatnya bagi dia untuk membuat anak-anak alfa tersebut membayar untuk apa yang telah ayah mereka perbuat. Hanya saja… Iris adalah anak yang lemah dan dia sangat berbeda dari ayahnya. ```

Excerpt "You can drop this stupid act now, Mr. Yates. I am not going to fall for it." A frown marred his features. "What are you talking about?" "Oh, stop with your pretentious act, it makes me sick. You want nothing to do with a brainless socialite such as myself, so I am not even going to delude myself that this sham would work." He remained silent for a few moments, then smiled. "This works for me then. It means you are smart enough to not expect anything from me then. From what I am to understand, this marriage would be of great benefit to us both in that case." Iris seethed internally. What an insufferable man. "You flatter yourself too much, sir. My time is too precious for it to be wasted stroking your ego. If you came here just for that ridiculous charade of yours, I suggest you leave now." His gaze hardened. "I hope you don't forget what you just said to me. It has been duly noted, miss Clayton. I really do hope your words do not come back to bite you." "I hope you say the same for yourself as well, Mr. Yates." * * * * Iris Clayton agrees to marry a man she was engaged to, but had never met formally.

## CONTENU MATURE! ## “Pourquoi as-tu des cicatrices?” Tout à coup, Iris changea de sujet, alors qu'elle regardait Cane dans les yeux. Elle tenait toujours ses manches. “Ton père me les a données,” répondit Cane. Il pensait que Iris ne se souviendrait pas de cette conversation au réveil. “Ça a dû être tellement douloureux.” “C’est le cas.” “Les cicatrices vont-elles guérir?” “Je ne pense pas.” La nuit vous rend en effet vulnérable et vous laisse dire quelque chose que vous n'admettriez jamais quand il fait jour. L’obscurité adoucit votre cœur. “C'est dommage. Tu as une âme chaleureuse.” Iris fronça légèrement les sourcils. “Je n'ai plus d'âme.” Il avait vendu son âme pour la liberté de son peuple. Il ne restait plus rien de lui maintenant. “Si, tu en as une, mais tu souffres tellement.” Iris cligna des yeux. “Ta bête souffre. Tu as tellement de cicatrices.” “Les seules cicatrices que j'ai sont sur mon visage.” Iris secoua doucement la tête. “Je ne parle pas de ton visage. Je parle de ton âme. C'est dommage, tu souffres tellement… ce que mon père et mon frère t'ont fait doit être douloureux…” Et après cela, Iris ferma les yeux et s'endormit. ====================== Elle est la fille d'un alpha qui a tué sa famille, rayé sa meute et a aussi fait de son peuple des esclaves. Maintenant, après dix ans de traitement en tant qu'esclave, il a réussi à se venger et vit une vie que personne n'aurait jamais pu imaginer. Une vie proche de l'enfer. Et dix ans plus tard, l'Alpha Cane parvient à prendre le dessus et à tuer l'alpha qui a rendu la vie de son peuple pire que la mort. Il était temps pour lui de faire payer aux enfants de l'alpha ce que leur père avait fait. Seulement… Iris était chétive et elle était très différente de son père.

## CONTEÚDO MADURO! ## “Por que você tem cicatrizes?” De repente, Iris mudou de assunto, enquanto olhava nos olhos de Cane. Ela ainda estava agarrada às mangas dele. “Seu pai me deu”, respondeu Cane. Ele pensou que Iris não se lembraria dessa conversa quando acordasse. “Deve ser tão doloroso.” “São.” “As cicatrizes vão sarar?” “Não acredito que sim.” A noite realmente te tornava vulnerável e te fazia dizer coisas que nunca admitiria quando estava claro. A obscuridade amolecia seu coração. “Que pena. Você tem uma alma quente.” Iris franziu a testa levemente. “Eu não tenho mais uma alma.” Ele vendeu sua alma pela liberdade de seu povo. Agora, não restava nada dele. “Sim, você tem, mas está com tanta dor.” Iris piscou. “Sua fera está em dor. Você tem tantas cicatrizes.” “As únicas cicatrizes que tenho estão no meu rosto.” Iris balançou a cabeça fracamente. “Não estou falando do seu rosto. Estou falando da sua alma. Que pena, você está com tanta dor... o que meu pai e irmão fizeram com você deve ser doloroso...” E depois disso, Iris fechou os olhos e adormeceu. ====================== Ela é filha de um alfa que matou sua família, dizimou sua alcateia e também fez de seu povo escravos. Agora, ele alcançou a vingança depois de dez anos sendo tratado como escravo e estava vivendo uma vida que ninguém poderia imaginar. Vida semelhante ao inferno. E dez anos depois, Alfa Cane consegue derrubar e matar o alfa que tornou a vida de seu povo pior do que a morte. Era hora dele fazer os filhos do alfa pagarem pelo que o pai deles havia feito. Apenas... Iris era uma rejeitada e era muito diferente de seu pai.

## REIFER INHALT! ## "Warum hast du Narben?" Plötzlich wechselte Iris das Thema, als sie Cane in die Augen sah. Sie hielt sich immer noch an seinen Ärmeln fest. "Dein Vater hat sie mir gegeben", antwortete Cane. Er dachte, Iris würde sich an dieses Gespräch nicht mehr erinnern, wenn sie aufwachte. "Das muss so schmerzhaft sein." "Das sind sie." "Werden die Narben heilen?" "Ich glaube nicht." Die Nacht hat dich in der Tat verletzlich gemacht und dich etwas sagen lassen, was du im Hellen nie zugeben würdest. Die Dunkelheit hat dein Herz erweicht. "Schade. Du hast eine warme Seele." Iris runzelte leicht die Stirn. "Ich habe keine Seele mehr." Er hatte seine Seele für die Freiheit seines Volkes verkauft. Jetzt war nichts mehr von ihm übrig. "Doch, das hast du, aber du hast so große Schmerzen." Iris blinzelte mit den Augen. "Deine Bestie hat Schmerzen. Du hast so viele Narben." "Die einzigen Narben, die ich habe, sind in meinem Gesicht." Iris schüttelte sanftmütig den Kopf. "Ich spreche nicht von deinem Gesicht. Ich spreche von deiner Seele. Schade, dass du so viele Schmerzen hast ... was mein Vater und mein Bruder dir angetan haben, muss sehr schmerzhaft sein ..." Und danach schloss Iris die Augen und schlief ein. ====================== Sie ist die Tochter eines Alphas, der seine Familie getötet, sein Rudel ausgerottet und seine Leute zu Sklaven gemacht hat. Jetzt hat er sich gerächt, nachdem er zehn Jahre lang wie ein Sklave behandelt wurde und ein Leben führte, das sich niemand vorstellen kann. Ein Leben, das der Hölle gleicht. Und zehn Jahre später gelingt es Alpha Cane, die Macht zu übernehmen und den Alpha zu töten, der das Leben seiner Leute schlimmer als den Tod gemacht hat. Es war an der Zeit, dass er die Kinder des Alphas für die Taten ihres Vaters büßen ließ. Nur... Iris war ein Zwerg und sie war ganz anders als ihr Vater.

In a world filled with different people. I'm one of the most different people you will ever see. I live with my uncle and his wife with their five kids. I got adopted into the family when i lost my parents in an accident that took their lives on the same day two years ago.as at then it was sixteen years birthday. They were actually coming to pick me up from highschool to take me out on my birthday but they died on their way, ever since then my life have been hell. Everyone sees me as a cursed child everyone just hates me. Today i turned eighteen years old. I've hated birthday since i lost my parents. Although today I'm a bit happy that I'm turning eighteen cause i now have the right to leave my uncles house. Since i woke up I've been staring at the ceiling thinking of what to do on this day a then i heard a voice "make a wish" i just obeyed and closed my eyes " I wish to have something that no one has and can ever have something beyond imagination, something mysterious, extraordinary and magical. I wish for love " After i made this wish i felt an adrenaline rush through me giving me chills and goosebumps all over my body. I stood up from the bed and went to the bathroom to get ready for the day. Although i felt this sharp pain on my back which i quickly ignored, i took off my clothes and stepped inside the bathroom. I adjusted the water temperature to how i like it and i turned it on while humming a song. The first splash on my body was so refreshing. I let my hair down and as the waters flowed down my body cooling every nerve in my bones. But then all of a sudden i felt this sharp pain that made me scream and fell to the ground and then i saw something like feathers wrapped around me. It all felt like an illusion. I felt the pain quickly subside and i gradually stood up. What seemed like feathers was actually attached to back. I looked through my left shoulder and saw wings on my back. I doubted it and went to front of my bathroom mirror and to my greatest surprise there was wings directly coming out from my skin it had colour like flames a mixture of red and gold. My hair which was normally shoulder length blonde was now long down to my waist and was now red with gold edges. My eyes were literally flaming it was sparkling. I held my mouth from screaming this is theoretically impossible. I heard when my door burst open and i was naked in my bathroom confused. All of a sudden the wings and hair everything changed back to normal. It was no one else that barged into my room but toby, one of my cousin's. I quickly dragged a towel and hid by my bathroom door but he already saw me. Toby is one of the people i dislike because he has always wanted to have his way with my body this has gotten me really scared of being home alone. I caught a sinister smile on his face and he went back and locked my door and placed the keys in his pocket. I ran out from the bathroom and hid by my bed wrapping myself with my blanket "i never knew today will be my lucky day " as he spoke he walked towards me. "Who would have thought that i and oris would be the only ones at home today" upon hearing this i shivered " i like what i just saw ".He licked his lips "please toby don't hurt me " i could hear my heart racing and my eyes were watery "i really don't care if i do" the more he got closer i shifted backwards until i reached the wall and no where to run to i burst into tears pleading with him not to hurt me but he gave deaf ears, he dragged the blanket away from me and threw me on the bed. I was fighting to run away but he climbed on me and tried forcing me to kiss him and i bit him " you bitch" he punched me on the face and i could taste something thick i guessed it was blood "you are gonna pay" the next moment he was kicking off his pant. I kept on fighting and kicking but it couldn't do anything on his frame instead it angered and he smacked my cheeks and punched me several times until i got weak but i still struggled. Gradually

WARNING! -DARK ROMANCE- “Why do you have scars?” All of sudden, Iris changed the topic, as she looked at Cane in the eyes. She was still clutching to his sleeves. “Your father gave me,” Cane replied. He thought, Iris wouldn’t remember this conversation when she woke up. “That must be so painful.” “They are.” “Will the scars heal?” “I don’t think so.” The night indeed made you vulnerable and let you said something that you would never admit when it was bright. The obscurity softened your heart. “Too bad. You have a warm soul.” Iris frowned slightly. “I no longer have a soul.” He had sold his soul for the freedom of his people. There was nothing left of him right now. “Yes, you have, but you are in so much pain.” Iris blinked her eyes. “Your beast is in pain. You have so many scars.” “The only scars that I have is on my face.” Iris shook her head meekly. “I am not talking about your face. I am talking about your soul. Too bad, you are in so much pain… what my father and brother had done to you must be painful…” And after that, Iris closed her eyes and fell asleep. ====================== She is the daughter of an alpha who has killed his family, razed his pack and has also made his people slaves. Now, he has achieved revenge after ten years of being treated as a slave and was living a life that no one would ever imagine. Life akin to hell. And ten years later, Alpha Cane manages to take over and kill the alpha who has made the lives of his people worse than death. It was time for him to make the children of the alpha pay for what their father had done. Only… Iris was a runt and she was very different from her father.

In the prestigious Institute of All Stars Universal, nestled in the glittering heart of Australia, power isn't just taught—it's inherited, fought for, and sometimes stolen. Behind its imposing gates, a story of love, betrayal, vengeance, and earth-shattering secrets is about to unfold. Iris Smith appears to be just another privileged 18-year-old heiress—the beloved daughter of Australia's financial titans, Mr. and Mrs. Smith. But beneath her sweet demeanor and shy smiles lies an extraordinary truth: since age 14, she's been secretly outmaneuvering even her parents in the business world, wielding powers that would make their empire look like a mere stepping stone. It's a talent she's kept hidden from everyone, including those closest to her heart. When betrayal strikes from the two people she trusted most—her boyfriend Brenton and best friend Naima—Iris's world shatters. The devastating blow transforms her from a quiet powerhouse into someone even she doesn't recognize. Just as she builds her walls higher, fate throws her into the orbit of Aiden Mayers—the notorious campus playboy, son of a prominent politician, and the face of Agatha Modelling Institute. He's everything she's trying to avoid: charming, dangerous, and impossible to ignore. Within the Institute's divided departments, where alliances shift like sand and power plays unfold daily, Iris faces a choice that could reshape not just her future, but the entire hierarchy of their world. Will she risk opening her wounded heart to the one person who could either heal or destroy it completely? Or will she channel her pain into becoming the kind of ruler that makes even kings tremble? As love and rivalry collide, one question remains: In a game where talents can topple empires and secrets can kill, who will Iris choose to be—the princess everyone underestimated, or the queen no one saw coming? Prepare to be drawn into a world where power wears a designer label, love comes with a price tag, and revenge is served at a temperature that burns everything in its path. Welcome to the Institute of All Stars Universal, where nothing is quite what it seems, and everyone has something to hide.

Blood oozed from every natural opening in her body, including the artificially created ones, courtesy of the truck. Former heiress, Iris Bowman breathed her last, wishing for nothing but an opportunity to avoid the board meeting that destroyed her entire life. As funny as her wish may sound, the deities answered her prayer, fulfilling her dying wish. Iris was reborn as a vindictive grand witch who wouldn't bat an eyelid when wreaking havoc. How would she mend the broken relationship with her family and avoid her sister's tragic death? Would she save herself from doom in this lifetime? By a cunning design of the heavens, Iris Bowman discovered Tyler Harper, the heavily wounded mafia prince, sitting at the back of her limited-edition Ferrari. When love sparked between the two, would Iris survive in his ruthless world filled with bloodshed, or would it overwhelm her? What if the bloodshed was what the new Iris loved more than anything? Now, her traitor of a fiance wanted her back, but Iris had different plans for him. ******* "Tyler… Tyler… Don't be surprised that I know who you are…Tyler… I promise you… I mean no harm… Please, I need you to calm down and wait for a little while… Please don't die on me, Tyler… I beg you… Spare my sister and I… We cannot stand the wrath of the Harper clan if anything were to happen to you." Iris pleaded dreadfully. “Drive!” It was all the mafia king had to say before he shut his eyes.
