Iris thought she was a normal teenage female, who got put into a werewolf community due to her mom married a Alpha, and both of us were still humans. Little did i know, my mom never told me that i was the bi product of the Generals child and made me believe that he was my step father all these years. Just so they can keep Iris a half werewolf from everyone due to getting bullied and kicking her out of the pack for not showing her half bred wolf to everyone in the pack.
Turns out, Iris was a late bloomer to activate her inner wolf Snowflake, until she meets her mate at the age of 18 and was able to communicate with Snowflake. But usually wolves are able to smell their mate, but Snowflake wasn't able to smell her mate in the early stages of development of her wolf side, and to which made Xrexes unable to locate his mate, but can sense she was around.
So Xerxes had to basically await for the time his wolf Ink can smell his mate and locate her somewhere in this pack that he visited for a important council meeting about rouge attacks. After a year in the transition period for Iris got to shift into her wolf side and got to experience the senses, strength and speed of a wolf....to which was able to locate her mate whenever she cross paths with him.
