Love radiated through my chest as I gazed at Adonis’s wolf. It looked awkward and animated, but at least it recognized me and wasn't violent."Hey, you," I said with a bubbly tone, kissing its forehead and feeling a deep compassion for both the wolf and my lover. I nuzzled his wolf with joyful tears filling my face."Do you believe me now?" I said softly to it. "I will never hurt you, Adonis, and I know that deep down you believe me. I love and care about you so much. If I had ulterior motives, I would have kept these secrets to myself."The wolf wagged its tail and leaned in. The very air around us seemed electrified, and I loved that the wolf drank in the comfort of my nearness."I love you forever," I said. "I cherish you, and I want you to know that you are worthy. Nothing is going to change that."Our closeness was like a drug, and my heart ached under my breast, knowing that this was a major weakness he had and his enemies were going to exploit him with it.My heart raced, wonde
Sarah drummed her fingers impatiently, frustrated by the traffic. They were stuck for over forty-five minutes. Every second counted, but each vehicle inched forward ever so slowly. Despite the air conditioner being on, Sarah felt like she was burning in an oven.Her husband was trying to calm her down over the phone, and even her driver received a piece of her frustration and was surprised that his boss would raise her voice. Sarah was usually mild-mannered, but not now. She was restless and impatient."Are you seriously transferring your aggression onto the poor driver?" her husband asked when she asked the driver if he could find another route."I can't sit here all day. I have to see Sophia today."Sophia hadn't returned any of her calls or messages. The silence was deafening, and Sarah couldn't sleep."I'm sorry, ma'am. There is no alternative route. You have to wait it out."Sarah fiddled with her wedding band, and after what felt like an eternity, they arrived at Sophia's apartm
Natalia was scared to death. She broke into uncontrollable sobs and dialed Adonis's line like a maniac. His number wasn't reachable, and neither was Fred's."Breathe, Natalia, breathe," she said to herself, but she couldn't stop thinking about that dreadful call—her mom's screams that pierced her heart, Sophia's cold words.That bastard was capable of killing her mother, and she knew it. Her words kept playing on repeat: "You have two hours to bring Iris to me or get ready to say goodbye to your mother."Natalia didn't understand what she had done wrong to deserve this and why Sophia was so cold and calculating. She screamed herself hoarse and fell to the ground, flapping her hands.There was a time limit, and each second that passed elevated her fear. She felt like her heart was being squeezed, and her mind jumped from one negative thought to another. She couldn't do anything but wail.Natalia knew Sophia's cruelty all too well. She was responsible for the acid that was bathed on Ir
I beamed with joy and my lips curling up into a bright smile as I slipped my hand into Natalia's. Freedom washed over me as we stepped out of the confines of the cell. I let out a satisfied sigh. My mind was flooded with positive thoughts, filled with visions of a bright future and endless possibilities. The world felt fresh and full of promise, and I was eager to embrace it all.But my excitement was short-lived when my gaze fell upon Natalia's rigid body. She looked tense and her lips were pressed into a thin line, as if she was struggling to contain a tremble.I sensed that something was amiss and grew concerned."Are you alright? You're acting weird."Her smile faltered before she forced it back into place. "Me? I'm...I'm fine," she stammered. She was nervous and betrayed her true emotions. She led me to a red car parked in the driveway and opened the back door. There was someone in the driver's seat, and I tried to pick out his face. He was a middle-aged man with salt-and-peppe
AdonisI clenched my teeth, my face contorting in agony. Why did I ever trust Axton?This place was a living hell, and I felt trapped. The stark white walls seemed to close in on me, suffocating me with their emptiness. I wanted to scream, but my voice was frozen in my throat, silenced by the oppressive atmosphere. Even breathing felt heavy, like inhaling lead. I was a prisoner with no escape.I was trapped in the isolation chamber, a cold, colorless room, courtesy of the insane doctor's fucking twisted experiment. They were messing with my sensory organs and starving my senses of the colors that made life worth living, and being there threatened to consume my sanity. The silence was killing me. I lay on the cold tiles, feeling buried alive, trapped and feverish.A constant, maddening hum in my head made it impossible to focus, likely a side effect of the medication they gave me. I struggled to understand why my human body was suffering the implications of having an abnormal wolf g
Adonis The mere thought of Iris struggling for her life, wherever she was, shattered me and tore my heart apart. My stomach was clenched tight with fear and panic rioting within me.Iris had suffered a lot, and I couldn't shake off the guilt of being responsible for her misery. Fred, Natalia, and I hastily jumped into the car, desperate to find her. Natalia sat in the back with her cheeks wet with tears."Call Sophia now," I instructed Fred, who promptly threw himself into the task. But Sophia's phone rang unanswered.Without hesitation, I floored the accelerator and sped past the limit. The estates became a blur as we sped toward the city. The roads were busy, and we waved through bustling markets and administrative blocks before turning onto a huge sunbaked road lined with tall, unfinished buildings.I would never forgive myself if anything happened to Iris. My head pounded and my heart ached as I wondered why everything bad was unleashing all at once, without even giving me a mome
Sophia felt deeply satisfied and let out a contented sigh. She'd never felt this much excitement in a long time."Congratulations to yourself, girl," she thought, "everything is falling right into your hands!" Her meticulous planning had outsmarted her enemies, and she was thrilled to see her plans unfolding. She burst into a joyful laugh and poured herself a glass of wine, craving something stronger but settling for what she had. Meanwhile, Iris lay tied to the bed, blindfolded, and looked like a mouse in a trap. Sophia chuckled and removed the blindfold, just to watch Iris writhe against the ropes that bound her. It gave her a fucking orgasm to watch her prisoner suffer. She relished the knowledge of the power that she held now. Iris looked drained and lifeless. Her sunken gaze was fixed on Sophia like a helpless puppy drenched in rain.Sophia gazed back at her, unsettled by the mixed emotions in her eyes: fear, determination, and a pitiful look. She didn't like the condemning
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
