Kira My heart raced like a jackrabbit. I'd never experienced such terror in my entire life. It was so bad that my vision blurred.The odds of bumping into Alpha D'Angelo were incredibly low, but here he was, standing right in front of me.I couldn't believe my bad luck.Everything was spiraling out of control. Mom looked confused and I regretted not being honest with her. I was putting her life in danger.Alpha D'Angelo's long strides ate up the distance. He stood before me, and shock accentuated his perfect face. As usual, he looked and smelled expensive, reminding me of my disheveled looks. I probably looked like a raving lunatic covered in sweat and dirt, with my hair a tangled mess and my face swollen from crying.His piercing gaze swept over me, lingering momentarily on my breasts. His eyes darkened further, and I felt my legs give way beneath me. I dropped to my knees and clasped my hands together in a desperate plea."Please spare my life." I wept as tears streamed down my fac
Kira Unease crept into me like a silent snake slithering through the grass. Alpha D'Angelo's gamma drove my mom and me in the eerily quiet car. I sat in the backseat, grasping my mom's hand. My hands couldn't stop trembling, and the moisture in my palm made my grip slippery.I tightened my grip, trying to still my tremors. My eyes darted up to the gamma. He was focused on the road and I kept glancing at him every few seconds, searching for any sign of danger. He turned on the radio, filling the car with the sound of the six-p.m World News, where the anchor headlined financial reports and anticipation of the full moon.Mom made me lean my head on her shoulder. I still didn't trust the gamma, but I preferred him over the cruel and heartless beta.She leaned in close and whispered in my ear, "Eat, Kira.”I turned to her and wiped the faint sheen of sweat on her forehead before whispering, "You need food more. You still have a bit of a fever, and I don't want you to get weaker.""I'm fu
D'AngeloResponsibility burned within me as I sat at the head of the marble table in the community center. Despite my recent coronation, I had been groomed for this alpha position since I turned eighteen, and my dad had prepared me well. But now, I couldn't bring myself to listen to the council members and elders arguing.My mind kept wandering back to my Omega mate. I hadn't slept well since my coronation night, all because she consumed my every thought. My body ached from hours of fighting the desire to be with her, and it was nearly impossible to shut out my thoughts.Seeing her again made me rock hard. It was a different experience from seeing her on the terrace at night. She was a small, beautiful goddess of desire, and her curves bent and trapped my mind.Every detail in her body was clearer. The freckles dusted across the bridge of her nose were the cutest I'd ever seen. If she weren't an Omega, I'd have considered myself the luckiest male alive and imprinted my mark on her the
A/N: Please don't be a silent reader. Comment and vote. Thank you!KiraThe harsh whispers and murmurs began. A few women, among whom my mom got along with, kept making fun of us.“Look at her,” one of them said. “What a beautiful airhead! Imagine going naked on the alpha's terrace to seduce him."Amari's mom's reaction hurt the most. "She's a complete nuisance. I've told my kid to avoid her so she doesn't contaminate her.""That's not fair, Grace,” my mom snapped. “You’ve known Kira her entire life. She's not a troublemaker. She's already distressed, so keep your opinions to yourself."I looked away, feeling horrible for putting my mom through this.They criticized me while ignoring the fact that their children were worse. I'd never been caught stealing, lying, or messing around, but all of a sudden my head was on the block, and I was the worst person alive.No friend visited my tent, not because they didn't wish to, but because their mothers had threatened to chop off their legs if
KiraMy heart was constantly hurting from the realization that the alpha would never accept me. I was, after all, a dirty Omega.Mom had no idea about my problems.The woman had a lot on her plate already. It was going to break her heart to tell her that Alpha was my mate. I turned to face the wall while lying on my thin mattress as her footsteps drew near."Kira, honey, are you okay?" My mom's voice pierced through my thoughts. She held a bowl of soup."I'm fine, Mom," I lied, forcing a smile, but she knew me too well to believe it. She touched a fading scar on my arm.“Talk to me, sweetie. Are you having issues with Zion or Amari? Did anyone make offensive remarks to you? She asked, trying hard to guess the reason for my sadness."No, Mom, nothing like that.”“Don't give me that,” she said, opening the window to let in fresh air. “Since when did you start hiding things from me?”She launched a mini-rant about how I had become so sad and secretive."Please stop, Mom,” I groaned, turn
KiraEvery weekend, omegas were usually divided into several duties. This week, I received my assignment to work at the dog shelter. The owner was a prominent, high-ranking member of society who had an unhealthy passion for rescuing stray dogs.Rumor had it that she was also a vet and had a gigantic vet clinic in the main pack. Although I had worked at the shelter several times before, I had never seen the owner in person. Except for the smell of dog piss, I'd grown to love working at the shelter and loved dogs myself, preferring it to work at the farm, where I would spend hours laboring under the scorching sun.To start the messy work, I pulled on my apron and gloves, then got a roll of paper towels, covered a few damp areas, and broom-swept them all before using the enzyme cleaner spray.Fortunately, the omegas had managed to move on, and nobody had recalled the previous week's incident. And my punishment was over. Thank the goddess for that. Hungry as a bear, I yawned, eager to h
KiraWhen Grey turned the key in the ignition and the car roared to life, my knees began to wobble uncontrollably in the back seat. My throat constricted, and I felt a strong urge to scream, but I suppressed it, unable to muster the courage to let out a sound.They weren't physically harming me. I had willingly gotten into the car and surrendered to their control.Goddess, help me.Zina's eyes locked onto mine in the rearview mirror. She seemed eager and excited to lead me to the Alpha. I quickly turned my head to stare out the window at the passing scenery. My heart raced furiously, and I felt its impact in my chest as we crossed the border, the milestone marking a point of no return. Worst-case scenarios began playing out in my head, each more horrible than the other.What if the Alpha took an instant dislike to me and ordered me thrown out, or worse yet, broke the mating bond? What if his cruel beta laid eyes on me? I couldn't explain why I had agreed to follow these strangers.Re
D’AngeloWith fear in her bright blue eyes, Kira studied me. She had every right to become afraid and defensive. She remained silent and I watched her. The amount of control this girl had over me was insane. She was making me change rules that were never meant to be altered—a century-old tradition that would make my father recoil in his grave."You can't do that," she repeated softly. “Please.”Kira and I belonged to different social classes, but I could see that she wasn't as shy as I'd assumed. Even in the face of intimidation, she exhibited common sense, boldness, and even a hint of resistance.“I won't warn you again. I can do as I want because I am the alpha. Don't challenge me."She swept her hair over her shoulder and looked directly at me. I suspected Zina got her the new clothes she had on. Her hair even looked better. Seeing her in a better state squeezed my heart with guilt. “What's your fear?” I asked after a long silence. "You cannot put the omegas and my family in dan
My mind fluttered away, anxious that D-Day had finally arrived. Aunt Helena didn't make it, and I was sure that I would see her on the mainland.Half in anticipation and half in dread, I prayed that everything would work out smoothlIt wasn't as exciting as a competition usually is, as the girls already knew the winner, but that was the least of my worries. All I wanted was for this to be over so I could live happily ever after with Adonis without anyone interrupting uOn D-Day, we were getting dressed, and the private helicopters were already outside to take us. I felt a little sad to leave this beautiful place, so full of peace and far away from the madness and complexities of lif"What's on your mind, my queen?" Natalia joked behind me and placed a hand on my shoulder. "I need to make sure that your makeup is perfectMy stomach churned, and I grew anxious by the gazes that I would get from people, knowing that there was no way in hell my father wouldn't find out. I didn't know what
Sophia looked over her shoulder and shot Iris a glance from the corner of her eye.She hated her so much that anytime she saw her, her skin would crawl. Sophia didn't think she was capable of hating anyone that badly. Iris was an insignificant pest and would soon be crushed. She was blocking Sophia's path and stealing what belonged to her.The silly girl didn't know what was about to come for her, and Sophia just couldn't contain her excitement at the thought of watching her crumble when the truth came out.Let the show begin!A muscle tic jumped in her cheek, and she felt a flush of warmth spread through her body, making her lightheaded with thoughts of how the fool's lies were about to be exposed.Sophia had always known there was something off about Iris, and now her suspicions were confirmed—she was the Syndicate Alpha's daughter.The deceit made her blood boil, and she vowed to expose Iris for the fraud she truly was.How could she have the audacity, the sheer audacity, to partic
Iris I struggled to open my eyes, but my eyelids felt heavy, and my vision was blurry. When I finally managed to pry them open, the world around me was hazy.Confused, I closed my eyes again, trying to clear the fog from my mind. I opened them a second time, and my vision was clearer, but I realized that something was amiss.I tried to sit up, but a sharp pain shot through my back, making me gasp. I reached around and felt a thick layer of sterile dressing covering my skin.Then the memories of that horrific moment came flooding back: the scorching acid pouring down my back, the pain that seemed never-ending.Damn it, I couldn't believe that this wasn't just some nightmare in my head—it was all too real. My back would never be the same again, all because of some jealous psycho's twisted actions.My heart broke miserably, and I swallowed hard. Whoever was behind this was heartless, and all for what? Adonis, who would never choose them anyway?They had no shame. It was disgusting how l
AdonisI was furious when I discovered that some sick bastard dared to douse Iris's body with acid.It felt like a cruel joke, a sickening slap in the face—and I couldn't wrap my head around something so despicable that could happen to a pure, harmless soul. I blamed myself for letting her leave the safety of my sight. If only she had stayed a little longer, this terrible act could have been prevented.The thought of what she must be going through filled me with rage beyond words.Machines were beeping, and medical staff in scrubs were working quickly to attend to her. My mind was chaotic as I paced around the small clinic."Dammit," I swore, breathless with rage. After they had gotten her out of danger, I was allowed to see her.I gently brushed a hair off her face while the highly skilled medical staff efficiently attended to her wounds."We've identified that the acid used is a mild form, and fortunately, it didn't affect her internal organs. She will recover quickly," one of them
🔞🔞🔞Adonis and I lay side by side on the grass. It had been over twenty minutes since the power outage had enveloped the mansion, and boy, did we love it. We had all the privacy we needed to explore our bodies. I stifled my laughter when Adonis wrenched my skirt up around my ass. He was inordinately pleased with himself at that moment, which only intensified my smile as I pulled his shirt off and kissed him softly on his chest.'Surely you're not thinking about having sex here in the open,' I said playfully into his mouth as he pulled me tighter against his naked body. He smiled as he nipped my jawline softly before kissing me harder.“Who's going to try and stop us, right? There's nowhere else I'd rather be than right here with you.”“And what if someone sees us? What if there are guards patrolling the house? Or if the power comes back on?”Adonis covered my mouth hungrily before pulling out a pack of condoms. 'Well then, I guess we'll have to hurry because I have no desire to le
The girls were fuming with envy toward me, and I noticed how they would frown and sulk whenever I walked into the room.They were unnecessarily rude, talking behind my back and giving me fake smiles, and even those who were nice enough were just putting on an act.Jealousy couldn't be hidden, no matter how hard they tried to mask it. The way the girls were acting toward me was unsettling. Their envy consumed them so much that I worried they might do something to hurt me.I hoped they wouldn't attempt to poison my food.Sitting cross-legged on my bed, I pulled out a classic literature book I had taken from Adonis' study and tried to ignore the subtle insults from the other girls.The trick was to act like I didn’t hear them, but I couldn’t deny that their words stung. It was hard to remain calm.“Let’s be real,” one of the girls, who seemed the most spiteful, spoke up. “Alpha Adonis might have flirted with other girls too. He’s probably testing to see who’s the best before making his c
The sound of footsteps outside her cell drew Helena’s attention back to the present. She tensed as Victoria, Alexander’s whore, approached her, clasping her hands together in a tight grip. The hatred Helena felt for Victoria surged to the surface, burning hot and fierce. She had never known she could hate anyone more than she hated this woman. Victoria needed to be punished for causing Mona so much pain, even up until her death.Victoria’s smirk was malicious, her satisfaction evident as she raised her chin high, wild-eyed. She looked down at Helena with a smug expression, as if relishing in her suffering.“So, how is the confinement?” Victoria asked, her voice dripping with false sweetness.Helena shrugged and turned away, refusing to give her the satisfaction of a response. “What do you think?”“You should eat,” Victoria said indifferently, setting a tray of food on the floor. “We’re just trying to find your niece.”“I won’t touch anything from you,” Helena spat back, her voice full
Helena sat on the cold, gray stone floor of the dank cell in Alexander’s house. The bastard had locked her up for three days. The stone was rough and unforgiving beneath her, seeping its chill through her thin clothing. She leaned against the damp wall, the smell of mildew and decay filling her nostrils, wondering when this madness would finally be over.Her thoughts kept circling back to her husband, Bruno. A spineless coward, that’s what he was. It angered her to no end that he hadn’t come for her. But even more than her own predicament, she was worried about Iris. The girl’s safety weighed heavily on her heart.Helena sensed danger closing in. She needed to warn Iris to flee before it was too late. She had seen the evil in Alexander’s eyes, the way he relished in others’ pain. He was capable of anything. Her greatest fear was that Alexander would drag Iris back into his cruel world, the same world that had nearly destroyed her.History was repeating itself. Helena’s sister, Mona
When I entered Adonis’ room, the lighting was dim, just bright enough to reveal his sleeping figure. The heavy curtains barely let in any light.Adonis lay still, his powerful frame resting under the covers. Despite his powerful Lycan nature, he looked fragile, as if strong medications had knocked him out.I stood there, my mind confused. How could someone as powerful as Adonis fall ill? His blood was stronger than most werewolves', making him more resistant to illnesses and diseases than any of us. Fred’s gaze lingered on me, as if he could read my thoughts. His smile was gentle, but it didn’t reach his eyes. There was surely something behind it."Don’t worry about him," Fred assured me. "It’s just stress. I’m sure when he wakes up, he’ll feel a lot better.""Stress?" I echoed, trying to make sense of it. "What’s causing him stress? He seemed fine the last time I saw him."Fred ran a hand through his hair, looking uncomfortable. He looked away and his eyes avoided mine as if the ans
