The Alpha's Omega Mistress Eighteen
I stayed in my room all night and even most of the morning. I couldn’t bring myself out of bed and refused to go downstairs. I was just about to try and bury myself under the covers again when a loud banging on my door startled me.“Come out, Zina!” my mother-in-law’s voice boomed through the wood. “We need to light a candle for Grey.”I sat up, confused, wondering why we would light candles in the morning. Forcing myself out of bed, I pulled on a simple black dress, tied my hair back, and headed downstairs.Anthony wasn’t there yet, but Vivian and Gwen were already in the living room, deep in conversation. I picked up a pink candle and lit it. Gwen’s sharp voice cut through the air as soon as the flame flickered to life.“Anthony! Get down here right now!”Anthony appeared moments later. He intended to sit beside me, but I wasn’t in the mood for closeness, not after everything. I placed my leg on the seat beside me. He hesitated momentarily, looking at me strangely, but then he turned

ZinaWhen I saw my mom, I beamed and rushed over to wrap her in a tight hug, feeling a wave of comfort and warmth wash over me."I’ve missed you so much, Mom," I told her, holding on just a bit longer before pulling back to look at her. She smiled softly, her eyes filled with the same gentle love I had always known.She had brought me a large basket filled with goodies—mangoes, oranges, plump strawberries, cartons of Greek yogurt, and my favorite brand of organic granola from Nature’s Path.There were also packets of prenatal vitamins and a few jars of almond butter.She had always been quiet and subdued ever since my dad passed away. They were fated mates. Before his death, she had been so lively, full of energy and laughter. I had memories of her chatting animatedly with my dad. Her laughter would fill the house.But afte

ZinaAnthony had been unusually quiet and distracted lately. There was a heaviness in his eyes that hadn't been there before. I grew concerned and decided to ask him directly.“Is something bothering you?”He barely looked up from his phone. “No, it’s nothing. We'll have to go to the bank together on Monday.”“That's not a problem.”Later that night, just like the night before, Anthony snuck into my room again. But this time, I felt different. The fear of getting caught by Vivian that had plagued me earlier seemed to have disappeared.I didn't care if Vivian discovered us. But when Anthony lay beside me, something was off.He didn’t touch me or pull me close like he usually did. I tried several times to initiate contact, nudging him playfully, even placing his hand on
The Alpha's Omega Mistress Twenty one
AnthonyThe moment I realized that the money that had just been sent into my account was being debited in bits, fifty thousand naira per transaction, I almost lost my mind.Panic seized my heart, and all the fears I had tried to push away came rushing back with a vengeance.My hands trembled as I stared at my phone screen, watching the balance decrease in real-time.It was slipping through my fingers. I was powerless to stop it because I knew the people behind it.Vivian and the loan sharks must have had access to my accounts all along. I cursed myself for not thinking about this sooner.They forced me to sign a document, allowing them to set up a direct debit from my account. I had been too desperate for money to think straight.Zina must be thinking the worst about me and explaining everything, but how coul

ZinaLike a fox chasing a turkey, Gwen rushed into my room after overheard me on the phone with D’Angelo.The shock was written all over her face. Her eyes doubled in size, and I feared they'd pop. Despite everything happening and knowing that I was an adult and all Gwen would do was shout and curse at me, I was afraid. “What did you just say?" My heart thudded so hard that I was sure she could hear it, too. I opened my mouth to respond, but no words came out. How could I speak when the frown on her face was feral? Her gaze narrowed as though I was something disgusting she couldn’t bear to look at. I tried to explain but ended up stuttering."It's... it's not what you think."“Don’t play games with me! I may be old, but I’m not deaf. I heard what you said. You claimed that Anthony is your second chance mate. Either confirm it or deny it right now.”Her voice was cold and sharp, cutting through my weak attempt to deflect. D’Angelo was still on the phone. "Zina, what’s going on? Who
The Alpha's Omega Mistress Twenty-Three
ZinaMy gut feeling told me that Gwen was stuck inside. She wasn't psychotic enough to have to burn down her own house. This was the house she had lived in all her life and raised her sons, where she kept a shrine for her dead son. The very thought of her setting it on fire seemed absurd. She might have been bitter and unkind, but I couldn’t see her doing this kind of destruction.Immediately, I called the fire service, and they assured me they were on their way, but waiting around wasn’t an option. I needed to be sure Gwen wasn’t trapped inside, even though she had been nothing but an ass to me.The fire was spreading quickly, consuming everything in its path. "Gwen!" I screamed at the top of my lungs, hoping she could hear me. The fire roared louder, burning one side of the house. I ran through the backyard and pushed open the kitchen door, and though that side wasn’t engulfed in flames yet, it was hot as hell and thick with smoke.I kept screaming for Gwen until my voice grew h

AnthonyAt first glance, Easy Money Ventures looked like a random, harmless structure. It looked like the headquarters of a legitimate enterprise, except that it wasn't.Only victims like me knew the cruel bastards that ran this place.I stood before the building, staring at the slanted walls and windows tinted and reinforced with bulletproof glass.Easy Money indeed, I thought bitterly. The bastards hid behind their glossy front, pretending to help people with loans. In reality, they preyed on the desperate, sucking them dry with ridiculous interest rates and contracts designed to trap them.Standing there, I contemplated my next move. Should I go in calmly and try to reason with them?Explain that while they had taken the money I owed them, the rest wasn’t mine and needed to be returned.Or should I demand my money
The Alpha's Omega Mistress Twenty-Five
ZinaI jerked awake from an alarming dream, drenched in sweat. My breath was heavy and uneven as I sat up. The dream had been almost too absolute, with Anthony in some danger. It bothered me in ways I didn’t want to admit.Why the hell did I keep dreaming about him, especially since he was probably somewhere out there squandering the money my late husband had worked so hard to earn?“Don't think about it,” I said out loud. “It's just your mind playing tricks on you.”Or maybe it was a sign, but even if it were, what could I do about it?How likely was it that his problems began just when the money was transferred to him?For my own sake, I needed to stop thinking about him. What we shared was just a bond that could be broken, nothing more.Dragging myself out of bed, I went to the kitchen and poured mys

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
