Chapter Three

last update Last Updated: 2024-03-20 12:19:14

I was startled by the alpha's presence and couldn't help but laugh at my foolish daydreams about someone so unattainable. Hadn't Ethan's rejection taught me anything?

“Damn, he looks so good.”Natalia whistled behind me and I agreed.

A male and a female, who seemed to be the alpha's friends, trailed closely behind him. The male appeared laid-back and relaxed, while the beautiful woman exuded confidence, walking as if she owned the place. I noticed Alpha Adonis holding her hand.

Were they lovers? If so, why would he be searching for a wife?

Natalia was right all along. The alpha and his friends didn't make any selections during the first through fourth lines. The girls cried, and some even attempted to sneak into our line.

The alpha's group approached us, and the air charged up. My heart was thumping furiously against my ribs. Adonis appeared uninterested and nearly tired of the hunt.

I overheard him saying, "This is tiring, Fred. I'm not interested in any of the girls."

His friend laughed. "Come on, Adonis. Don't be a killjoy. Look around and pick ten girls of your choice."

When his eyes met mine, goosebumps crept up my arms like spider webs. I finally felt like I could breathe when his gaze shifted to the next girl but wondered why he had such an effect on me.

And then, like magic, he chose ten girls from my line, including Natalia and me. My knees were so weak that I could barely stand.

Natalia was speechless and stunned beyond belief."We're in," she cried out. “Somebody wake me up, Iris, we are in!"

What the…

Adonis turned away and cameras encircled us, their lenses capturing every detail of our faces. I looked away, and my chest pounded with fear. They were news reporters, and my dad watched the news every night. It was game over for me.

Natalia grabbed my arm, "Come. Let's head to the stage and disassociate from these losers."

When we walked onto the stage, I was still in complete shock. As we climbed the last stair, the alpha and his entourage exited the hall. Several girls in the front screamed in frustration as soon as they were out of sight.

Their faces crumpled, and some of them couldn't stop crying. They looked like raccoons, with smudged mascara streaking down their cheekbones and I felt pity for them.

Angry voices rose from all over the room. "This is unfair! How could they not recognize my potential?" One girl's voice cut through the air.

The ten of us who had been chosen gathered near the stage's edge. They were thrilled, and one of them leaned in closer.

"Isn't it amazing that only line six was chosen? We should have a unique name."

"How about Famous Line Six?" Another girl proposed, and the others agreed, their eyes bright with excitement.

MC Charles returned to the stage and attempted to console the crying girls. "Ladies, ladies. Please. Your emotions are running high right now, and for good reason. However, by entering this contest, each of you demonstrated incredible bravery. Don't forget that.”

They booed him, and the longer he spoke, the angrier they got. "You'll be given consolation gifts and will not return home empty-handed."

Nobody took his words seriously. I felt terrible. I was here, feeling like a fraud. I knew I was a ticking time bomb of exposure, and I secretly wished I hadn't advanced to the next round.

The girls were free to leave with a tangible reward for their efforts. However, the next round could expose all of my lies. I considered swapping places with one of them, but everyone was watching us - the organizers, the audience - and I couldn't sneak away or exchange discreetly.

Natalia had a wild and carefree personality. She twirled a champagne flute, taking big gulps, and the shakiness in her feet told me she was already drunk.

"Come on, try some," she said, holding out the glass to me with a big smile. "You should unwind and have fun."

"I'm fine." I usually stick with water or fruit juice. I'm not a fan of alcohol.”

She dismissed my concerns with a laugh. "you're missing out on so much fun, girl. The alpha must be flattered that we are drinking his exquisite wine. Come dance with me.”

"Nah," I grimaced. "I don't dance."

Her lips curved into a puzzled smile. "You came to a beauty pageant, but you don't dance? Does that make any sense?

Reluctantly, I let myself be drawn to the dance floor. Despite my inexperience, I swayed to the beat and enjoyed the rhythm of the music. My favorite dance moves were in my head.

I had a natural talent for singing, which allowed me to temporarily forget about my worries. I was confident that if all I had to do was sing a song to win the alpha's heart, I would win.

Natalia leaned in. "So, what is your pack? You haven't mentioned it."

Shit!

My gaze fell, and I felt guilty about lying to her. "Oh, I'm from the Valley Pelt."

My mom was from there, so it wasn't a complete lie.

"I've been there multiple times. It's a lovely pack," she said, without asking any further questions.

My thoughts drifted to the Sisters Sanctuary. I didn't miss that place at all. The oppressive sameness of every day, combined with a lack of freedom, drove me insane. The prospect of spending another year in that confinement was undoubtedly going to destroy me.

I felt bad for the old guard I outran, and I wondered if the news had reached my dad. Would he even bother looking for me?

    Iris“Why did I get so turned on in that cell when you flogged and degraded me?” I asked Adonis, curious about his answer. I rolled over to my back and he chuckled as he ran his fingers gently along my jawline, making goosebumps erupt under his touch. “Because you’re not as innocent as you think. You don't like vanilla sex.”“What's that?“It's when you have sex that involves more of a mutual give and take of pleasure. You don't like that.”“That's not true,” I countered. “I like sex with passion. But I like a little pain.”He looked at me with a broad grin and I flushed with embarrassment. “Don't make this difficult.”“Tell me what you like?” He said, his voice husky as he nuzzled my nose and peppered kisses around my chin.”"I have no idea,” I said truthfully. “You're the more experienced one.”“Power imbalance, that's what it is. You want me to dominate you. You delight in the sexual abandonment that comes with forfeiting control of your body and actions.”I bit my lip and my body

    IrisThe sorrow and pain in my heart was overwhelming; I couldn't stop sobbing. Adonis carried me over to his bedroom. Once there, he gently laid me down on the bed and sat down beside me.His hand brushed through my hair as he whispered soothing words in my ear and rubbed my shoulder. I continued to sob and felt utterly powerless to do anything but cryMy aunt used me as a pawn in a sickening game, and there was no getting rid of the feelings of betrayal and resentment. And then there was Natalia. Their betrayal ripped open wounds inside of me . The secrets and lies I had uncovered were like a heavy weight crushing my heart."Please, Iris, take your pills," Adonis begged me. But I shook my head, my eyes welling up with tears. "Take those damn pills away,” I yelled at him. “You don't understand what I went through. All the suffering and pain of being an Omega in an alpha household. I was constantly humiliated by my dad and stepmom who made my life a living hell!” My voice cracked a

    IrisMemories burst forth like fireworks in my mind, sharp and explosive. Each recollection came with a stabbing headache, like a dagger twisting in my brain. I winced and squeezed my eyes shut against the pain. But even the agony couldn't dim my joy. I was remembering things! Fragments of my past, long buried, were resurfacing. Faces, names, moments – all flooding back like a dam breaking.Adonis looked at me like he was seeing me for the first time. His mouth fell open in a gape. The way he grew still and serious made me chuckle. “You remember?” Was all he could say and I nodded. “I remember.”He went on his knees and grabbed my hand tightly, his breath hitching slightly. “Oh goddess…You really remember…” “It doesn't take a lot of effort on my part to remember how you locked me up and spanked my ass cheeks”He leaned back on his haunches and grinned widely, showing all his teeth. “Well, if it turns you on, I'm at your service all day. Just say the word.”I wanted to laugh, but

    AdonisI stood beside Natalia in the Lycan court to finalize our divorce.We had signed the papers a week ago, and today was the final step. Natalia's parents and Fred were present as well.The elderly judge looked over the papers and then gazed at us with a warm smile. "Adonis and Natalia, you have both agreed to this divorce, is that correct?""Yes, your honor," we replied in unison.His smile grew and he looked thoroughly amused. “ I must say, I've never seen a couple as amiable as you two. Happy divorce, I guess. Your marriage is hereby dissolved. May you both find happiness on your separate paths."“Congratulations to us,” Natalia said to me with a wink. Her parents and Fred applauded, and the judge was so dumbstruck which added more humor to the scene.I was about to walk away with Natalia when she grabbed my arm to stop me.“Oh yes, there's one thing I forgot to mention," she said. “Don’t give up on Iris.”My response was a pinky promise. I stepped out of the court and Fred drew

    IrisNatalia burst into my room, bouncing from foot to foot. Her eyes sparkled with excitement. "Okay, girl, let's get you ready for your big night!"Her energy was infectious and I felt a lightness in her chest.She began pulling out dress after dress from a bag and lay them on the bed. They all looked expensive."I think these are a bit too much for a garden date, don't you?" I ventured, eyeing the designer gowns. Natali ignored me, too busy sorting through the dresses and matching shoes and jewelry to each one."Ooh, this silver clutch would go perfectly with this dress!” she exclaimed, holding up a tiny bag that seemed to be made of pure moonbeams. "You're really getting into this, aren't you?" “Mm-hmm.”She continued to coordinate outfits with an intensity that rivaled a military operation, completely absorbed in her mission to make me look "absolutely stunning""Natalia, are you always this invested in your friends' dates?" "Maybe a little.But I just want to see you happy, Iri

    AdonisMy smiling was unrestrained and I felt all tension leaving my body and the temporary breathlessness after I pulled away from Iris' lips. It was like my life had snapped back to normal, and all the pain I felt this past month disappeared.Happiness was indeed a powerful emotion. One that was difficult to find when you've spent your whole life being miserable. My eyes were fixated on hers and they were shining brightly. She smiled back at me, and my heart skipped a beat. Her smile lit up her whole face and it made my heart fucking soar."I think I need to learn how to kiss properly. You seem like a pro,” said Iris, grinning.With great difficulty I tore my gaze from hers and grinned, unable to speak properly. "You're doing just fine. I don't mind sloppy kisses, I love you regardless. I love you much more than you can ever imagine.”Her face blushed pink and the grin slipped from my face."Did I say something uncomfortable? I'm sorry, I-”"No! No. Don't apologize.”"Then why did
