Reject My Alpha President (Iris and Arthur) novel Chapter 238

Chapter 238

Iris

“Welcome to Whispering Pines!” the cheerful pilot announces as our small private plane touches down on what can barely even be called a runway. It’s more like a cleared strip of land in the middle of nowhere.

My eyes widen as I look out the window and recognize the familiar landscape of rolling hills and dense forest. No fucking way.

“Arthur…” I start, turning to face him. He’s grinning like a kid in a candy shop.

“Surprise,” he says simply.

I can’t believe it. Whispering Pines–our place. The tiny, quaint town nestled in the wild northern territories–where there are no

countries or cities, but rather individual pack lands, just like the old days–that Arthur and I used to escape to.

It’s the place where we fell deeper in love with each passing visit, far from the pressures of Ordan society. Where we kissed under

the stars and where I painted next to waterfalls and where we were happy and free.

I never thought I would see this place again after our breakup.

As we disembark the plane, Miles jumps up and down with excitement, holding both of our hands and swinging between us.

“Where are we? What are we gonna do? Are there animals?”

Arthur laughs. “Patience, buddy. You’ll see everything soon enough.”

The drive through the countryside is familiar and yet new. The same winding roads through dense pine forests, the same

breathtaking views of distant mountains, but now seen through the eyes of a mother watching her son experience it all for the

first time.

“Look, Mommy!” Miles cries, pointing out the window at a pair of deer bounding through the trees. “Animals!”

“Yes, little wolf,” I say, smiling at his excitement. “There are lots of animals here.”

After about twenty minutes, our driver turns onto a gravel road I don’t recognize, leading up to a sprawling ranch house

surrounded by fenced pastures and outbuildings.
