Adonis

When tears rolled down Iris cheeks and she pleaded her innocence, I refused to believe her, even though I was struggling with my emotions.

But it was all too well planned. Alexander was my enemy, and he wanted me dead. The feelings were mutual. It was not strange for his daughter to enter the beauty contest and then plot against me.

Despite knowing this, I was confused. Iris' claims of innocence contradicted my suspicions, and I couldn't pretend I didn't love her when she occupied my thoughts and dreams.

Her stunning eyes haunted me. Her gentle kiss burned me. I sincerely wanted to believe she was innocent. But I'd seen it before: beautiful, innocent-looking faces, with evil intentions.

I doubted every word she spoke. Her innocence was a trick to pull me deeper into her trap.

I headed to the entrance gate and gripped the polished iron bars.

"Be grateful that you have a comfortable room with freshly laundered sheets, healthy food and books to read,” I mocked her.

    Alexander had a headache and was tired of the heated debate going on among his council members. The tension over his lack of an heir was dangerously high.There were concerns about the pack's future leadership. The council and elders refused to accept that Bianca's son would succeed him after his death.Alexander had never felt more confused in his life. He found the idea of the position going to another family very disturbing, especially since one of his distant cousins had a bastard son with Alpha blood. His ungrateful pack members were now considering making him the heir to the throne.Council members sat in a circle on finely crafted leather chairs. Alexander looked past them, his gaze fixed on the portraits of the previous alphas: his father, grandfather, and great-grandfathers.He could not look at the stranger sitting across from him. The boy was a scumbag. He was fifteen years old and had every right to lead a pack once he reached the age of eighteen. The lad smiled calmly, kee

    Sophia felt as if the ground would open and swallow her up. Her nakedness was on display, and her clothes were scattered across the ground.Natalia stormed toward them and slapped Sophia across the face as she was rushing to pick them up. The smack was loud and echoed throughout the room, and she staggered backwards."What was that for?" Sophia screamed at her. Natalia returned her gaze with a murderous glare. Adonis, barely awake, appeared to enjoy it, chuckling as his wife rushed in to save the day. "I warned you before, bitch, and I am warning you again," Natalia yelled at Sophia. "Stay away from my husband." Have the decency and self-respect to recognize that he does not like you. You are not attractive enough to turn him on. You will never be Iris!"Sophia snickered, despite the fact that the words hurt her deeply. She felt like hurting the bitch."And who are you to lecture me on self-respect when you walked down the aisle with your friend's man without protesting? What does th

    AdonisI lay in my king-size bed, surrounded by a pile of pillows, watching Natalia worry herself to death. She opened the heavy drapes to let in the natural light and turned on the flat-screen television."I know what you need," she said, her feet bouncing out. "Purified air to flush out the poison that witch Sophia injected into you. I'll be right back."She ran outside and returned moments later, thrusting a small green bottle under my nose. "This will get all of the poison out of your lungs. I’ll make you some soup to make you feel better. Your doctor is downstairs. Would you like me to fetch him?’I shook my head, shifting uncomfortably, wondering why Natalia was being nice to me.Given that I forced her to marry me, she should hate me and be unconcerned about my well-being. I was not worthy of her concern, especially after depriving her of freedom.Yet here she was, nursing me back to health and even defending me against Sophia's lame attempt at seduction the day before.I felt so

    Hours later, after the medication had worn off and I could resume my normal activities, I was about to indulge in my guilty pleasures when I received a distressing call informing me that my dad had been rushed to the intensive care unit.“What now?” I groaned aloud, wishing that all of these problems would stop, as they were becoming overwhelming.Fred drove me to the pack hospital, and we rushed up to the ICU. Dad lay motionless on the bed. Uncle Axton sat next to him. He held my dad's hand, looking devastated."Don't give up, Marcus. Please. We have to tell him.”“Tell who what?” I asked him as I walked into the room. Uncle Axton's body stiffened visibly. Dad opened his eyes and let out a sick groan."Ah, Donnie, you are here," Uncle Axton said, unsure of himself and smiling faintly.A nurse in scrubs walked in to check my dad's temperature. The silence was oppressive, and when a doctor entered, he acknowledged my presence and whispered to the nurse while they performed their duties.

    IrisI smiled, jumped to my feet, and rushed over to Natalia. We hugged tightly, enjoying the warmth of each other's company."Oh, Natalia, you are like a breath of fresh air. Having you visit me is always therapeutic."She smiled, reached into her bag and pulled out a stylish new phone."I got this for you. You need to stay in touch in case Adonis prevents me from coming here. We also need to start planning your escape."My hand paused midway, and the thought of leaving made my heart ache. As stupid as it sounded, I couldn't bear the thought of staying away from Adonis.Was I crazy? Maybe. Despite the pain and confinement, a part of me knew I couldn't live without Adonis' touch, kisses, and even the degrading sex he exposed me to. He could have killed me, but instead he kept me alive and cared for me in his own twisted way. Was there even a real reason for me to leave? I loved him, no matter how toxic it sounded. Stockholm syndrome was kicking in. Leaving meant abandoning the hope

    Helena (Iris' aunt) had been anticipating this day for years, but she was also dreading it.This was the most complicated situation she had ever encountered, but she had to act before things worsened. It was time to speak out.But first, she had to persuade her longtime friend, who was a witness to what she had done twenty-one years ago."Have you lost your damn mind?" Her friend Rachel snapped at her while they sat in Helena's front yard. "How do you expect us to rush up to an innocent woman and inform her that the child she has raised for 21 years is not hers?"Helena sighed. Her sorrow was a massive, painful knot within her.“If Iris had not grown on me and I hadn't developed such strong feelings for her, if I didn't want her to be free forever, I'd keep my mouth shut. But Adonis believes she is Alexander's daughter. The innocent girl is wasting away in his cell."Rachel held up her hands. "I don't want to be involved in this. We are both retired now, and I rely solely on the govern

    Sarah sat at her desk, tears streaming down her cheeks as she tried to calm herself. Everything was happening so fast; her world was collapsing. She held her palms up and out, pleading with the moon goddess to explain why she was allowing to suffer. If this so-called moon goddess was so caring, why did she seem to enjoy seeing her in pain? Was she truly fair and just, as many claimed? Sarah had always been taught to honor the moon goddess, relying on her wisdom and kindness. But now, her faith was shattered. How can a powerful and compassionate deity allow such cruelty? Sarah had led a peaceful life, carrying out her responsibilities and finding joy in her daily routine. Her marriage was strong, her job was rewarding, and the omega community valued her. Her life wasn't perfect, but it wasn't particularly chaotic either. She had dealt with minor issues and challenges in the past, but nothing had prepared her for this. Sophia was the only one who bothered her. She was headstrong

Her thoughts were jumping from memory to memory, and it made her very upset.Sophia wasn't a particularly well-behaved child, but Sarah loved her so much.

    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

    IrisA knock on my bedroom door broke my concentration. I was playing chess with Justin, and he was explaining the rules of the game to me, teaching me about the different pieces like the king, queen, knight, and their various moves.One of the maids came to inform me that my meditation instructor was waiting for me. I got off the bed, and Justin followed me downstairs.I was expecting a middle-aged man, just like the other doctors treating me, but I was pleasantly surprised to see a young woman, about my age, with long raven hair that reached her waist and an amazing cologne.“I'm Yolanda. It's a pleasure to meet you, Iris,” she smiled warmly as we did our introductions. I noticed she was subtly staring at Justin, and Justin, on the other hand, looked highly uncomfortable, as if he was both shy and in awe of her presence.His reaction amused me at first, and I made a mental note to joke about it later while I tried to focus on the task at hand.Yolanda gestured for me to sit down on

    Iris I sat in a dark room, crossing and uncrossing my legs and surrounded by the silence of anticipation.Fred, Justin, Natalia, and a few unfamiliar faces were all waiting for Adonis to emerge from his bedroom. He was unaware of the surprise that awaited him.I fought to keep my eyes open and was fighting with the weight of my medication, but my body was succumbing to exhaustion. My head nodded forward, and I jerked myself awake.We heard the sound of Adonis' bedroom door opening. Fred whispered that we get ready. Adonis walked into the room, looking different from his usual polished looks.Fred flipped on the light, and we all screamed, "Surprise!" in unison. The room erupted into chaos as everyone began singing "Happy Birthday" to Adonis.He was wearing a fluffy night robe, his hair was tousled, and his sleepy eyes widened in shock.“What's going on?” he asked with a chuckle, and his gaze darted around the room. When they landed on me, they lingered for a moment. He looked surpris

    IrisJustin and I strolled around the exterior of Adonis's mansion. The place was nothing short of beautiful, and I felt a wonder at being here.Forgetting to blink, I moved carefully to admire the fountain, the stone sculptures in various shapes and sizes, the manicured lawns, and every detail of it all.The structure was a far cry from Justin's small home. The grounds seemed to stretch on forever. I couldn't resist the urge to explore further. It was hard to fathom that one person could own so much wealth, and I wondered what kind of person the alpha was.Justin's voice broke into my thoughts. "He's ridiculously rich. I mean, it's almost illegal. How can one person have so much wealth?""Wow," I said softly so as not to break the spell. "And why would someone like that care about me? Does that mean I was rich before...?"My voice trailed off, and Justin looked at me. "I think you were. And I think staying with people from your past could help you remember."I stopped walking and lea
