Too Late Alpha The Mate He Never Wanted (Iris and Eric) novel Chapter 149

Chapter 149

Iris’s POV

When I woke up the next morning, my body still ached from the exhaustion of the day before. For a moment I just lay there, staring at the ceiling.

Every part of me wanted to stay in bed, hide under the blanket, and pretend the world outside didn’t exist.

I had several reasons not to go to training. My eyes were swollen from crying. My head throbbed, and frankly, I didn’t want to face anyone.

But if I stayed in this room any longer, I would drown in my own thoughts. Training would hurt, but it would at least keep me moving.

I put on my workout clothes and arranged my hair back into a messy bun. Shane and I walked to the training area in silence.

Finally, he broke it. “Chloe played a prank on me yesterday evening, and I am still pissed.”

I lifted an eyebrow at him. “A prank? How?”

He clenched his jaw. “She told me that the alpha wanted to see me at the main hall. As I got there, he was not there. When I later found her, she laughed in my face and told me it was prank and I fell for it easily.”

The dots began to connect in my head.

Shane was still talking. “I guess it’s her way to payback for shoving her at Rowan’s office.”

I didn’t tell Shane that Eric had come to see me. Chloe must have helped Eric avoid

Shane to come see me.

She really wanted me gone. I snorted internally.

Lucas stood at the edge with his arms folded like a statue. He looked at me as I approached, and his eyes narrowing slightly

I half expected him to tell me to go back to bed.

Instead, one of his eyebrows lifted slightly. “You’re here,” he said flatly.

I gave a one-shoulder shrug. “Why wouldn’t I be?”
