Sarah couldn't imagine anything that could ever erase the pain she felt. It was a sharp sense of loss, knowing Sophia wasn't her daughter. She had breastfed Sophia, and ensured she received a good education. Now, all of that seemed like an illusion. She sat beside her husband in the living room, gazing at the framed family photo of them with Sophia, remembering the day it was taken on Sophia's 11th birthday, when she had started developing a rebellious streak. Geoffrey turned off the flat-screen TV mounted on the wall opposite them, while Helena sat quietly, occasionally wiping away tears that rolled down her cheek, trying to stifle her emotions.Sarah felt no pity for Helena. She wasn't at a loss; this was all her fault.The air was thick with tension, and although her husband appeared calm, Sarah knew he was seething with resentment. The maid brought in tea and homemade cookies, placing them on the coffee table. Despite her anger, Sarah couldn't bring herself to not offer their

"Would you mind if I spent the night in your house?" Sophia asked, her smile plastered on her face. Alexander and his family had been asking her strange questions about her family, and Alexander kept repeating that she reminded him of someone. "Of course, there's enough room for you," he said, oblivious to the sinister intentions behind Sophia's request. She couldn't wait to get closer to them, to sniff the life out of them. She drove behind them just in case the poison kicked in.They arrived at Alexander's three-story townhouse, which was overly decorated with extravagant furniture and numerous indoor plants like ferns and succulents placed strategically around the room. The atmosphere felt more like a showcase than a welcoming home, lacking warmth and coziness."I hope I'm not being a bother," Sophia said sweetly, and Victoria waved it off. "Oh, please, you're welcome to stay as long as you want. Now that Iris is with Adonis and my daughters, Bianca and Serena, live with their

AdonisFred and I were in the middle of nowhere, searching for clues to find Sophia. We had less than ten hours to rescue Iris. I couldn't imagine touching Sophia, not even before I discovered she was evil, and especially not now. I couldn't believe she was so desperate to have me. The clues were there, but I never gave them much thought, and now it was too late. What she was doing was extremely distasteful, and I felt a wave of revulsion, wondering when all this trouble would be over. My gaze was fixed on the horizon, with Fred standing beside me. We were beginning to lose hope, having combed everywhere, and suspected that Sophia had taken Iris to another pack. I didn't want to give Sophia the satisfaction of getting what she was asking for - that would only encourage her evil behavior. If I gave in and slept with her, Iris would never look at me the same way again. I needed to outsmart Sophia and not indulge her further. After all this madness, she needed to be checked into a

Adonis"Fred, stand at the door entrance. Make sure no one comes outside," I instructed. The package was too gruesome and would cause more panic. "Take it to the backyard," I instructed my guards. "Make sure it's out of sight. Call for the mortuary attendants, and we will have to take them to their pack." Seeing Alexander's body was supposed to cause me great joy, because it was my ultimate revenge wish, but I felt quite the opposite. I was afraid that Sophia would cause more harm.The guards nodded and carefully carried the package away. I was angry and disgusted. Sophia was pure evil. Her obsession with me had driven her to do terrible things, including killing her own father."Your phone is ringing," Fred said, handing me my phone. It was Sophia calling. I immediately felt a nagging headache. "Hello, Sophia," I said, keeping my voice very calm and casual. "Hi, baby," she said cheerfully. "I'm on my way. Get ready for me. Tell me what type of lingerie you like." Fred and I exc
Alpha Adonis Seventy-Eight
Every extra second spent in this room was so oppressive. I was tired, and I feared for my life. That evil monster Sophia was nowhere to be found, and I wondered what chaos she was causing now. I shivered with chill and fatigue. My nerves throbbed, and every part of my body ached, but not as painfully as my heart.The bucket that served as a makeshift toilet was empty because I wasn’t eating or drinking anything. My mouth was chapped and dry. The stale bread they had been bringing me was heaping on the floor.Footsteps from outside the door signaled the approach of the guard, who was most likely coming with another stale bread. Sophia was evil. I had never experienced such wickedness in my life, not even with my father.The guard walked in and took off my handcuffs, offering little relief from the pain. I felt like I couldn't even move my hands. Whenever an insect bit me, I couldn’t kill it. It was bad, and I figured I would soon break down and die before Adonis found me.It was the us

Sophia's lips pressed together in frustration. She knew when a man did not want her, and Adonis was doing everything possible to stall.She tried to kiss and touch him, but every time her hands touched him, he acted like he was physically burning from her touch, like she was the most repulsive being ever.She let out an impatient snort and threw her hands up in an 'I give up' gesture.“What is wrong with me, Adonis?”He wore a half-baked smile, the kind he used to conceal his irritation. “Nothing's wrong with you, Sophia. You're beautiful, amazing, and intelligent.”“Am I that bad that I repulse you?”“That’s not true,” he started to say, but she stopped him. She cradled her head in her trembling hands.“I’m tired of begging you, Adonis. Just admit that you don’t want me and let’s get this over with.”He raised his head, alert, and reached out to her, but she pulled away. “That’s not true, Sophia. I don't hate you. You’re mistaken.”“Stop playing me for a fool,” she yelled, her voice

I watched as Theo, the guard, peered cautiously through a crack in the door to ensure that the hallway was empty. It was midnight, and time for action.My heart was pounding madly against my rib cage, but I was determined to leave this cursed place. How we would leave, I had no idea, but I believed that we would run to safety.I felt a flutter in my chest when he motioned to me, signaling that it was time. When I tried to rise, the ache in my bones from days of confinement made me wince and move slowly.“Come on, hurry. We don’t have time,” he whispered harshly.We went silently down the dark corridor and hid at a corner, listening intently for any signs of movement.He nodded to me, urging me to follow closely behind. We approached a door to a room with a large window, and Theo turned the handle as quietly as possible.Entering the room, we both moved towards the window, and he glanced back to check for any intruders. He unlatched the window and eased it open, and the cold air whippe

AdonisI stood in the corner of the room with my hands crossed tightly over my chest. Sophia's screams were piercing my ears. I'd never seen anyone act so mad before. Her face was flushed, and her rage was violent and uncontrolled. She began thrashing herself and destroying things, her fury unleashing a chaotic storm in the room.My heartbeat pounded in my ears, and I had an edgy, twitchy feeling of satisfaction. I wasn't sorry for Alexander's death, not after the life of misery he put the love of my life through, not after inciting violence that led to Isabella's death. But I was satisfied that he was killed by his own blood.Justice had prevailed.Helena, Iris' aunt was shaking her head, and tears streamed down her face. She looked sorrowful beyond description, and kept laying her hand against her breast bone, blaming herself for everythingSarah and Geoffrey sat with grim expressions and their hands clasped tightly together. Sarah had a pained look. She must be wondering where she
