Kira It was shocking, to say the least when the alpha first kissed me. How did we get from his initial outrage upon learning that we were mates to his current passionate, uncontrollably intense kisses?I felt a shiver run down my spine, and an odd thrill and hunger filled my body. My rational side warned me that this was dangerous and wrong.So wrong.I could never be as good as D'Angelo's girlfriend. Besides her grace and beauty, she was intelligent, qualified to be with someone like Luna, and came from a good background. For me to compare myself to her or to hope that D'Angelo would leave her for me would be foolish. As my mom would say, "Only idiots can't think clearly." D'Angelo was my mate, but that's where it ended.I kissed him back, though, and damned the consequences at that very moment. His kiss was like a drug—it was so addicting. His arms encircled me as I was filled with the taste of coffee and sugar. He drew me up against his chest. The way he made me feel alive was in
KiraThe horrifying and disgusting sight made my mouth drop open. I cried out, turned away, and swallowed hard as a wave of disappointment swept through my body. I never would have thought that my best friend would resort to doing this to me. Fair enough, Zion and I had broken up what seemed like a relationship, and I genuinely wasn't attracted to him, but how could my best friend take advantage of this and just instantly fall in love with him? I shouldn't be bothered, as there was no love lost between Zion and me, but I just couldn't help it. Amari was my friend, and I would never do this to her. It didn't make any sense. More than anything, it hurt that she kept this from me, as we had no business keeping secrets from each other."What's going on, Amari?" My voice trembled after what seemed to be an hour of being frozen in shock. "Would you mind explaining in plain and simple terms?" Amari's mouth tightened into a taut, flat line, and Zion squirmed with embarrassment.My mind was
KiraMy breathing slowed and became more even as I enjoyed the intense fantasy and imagination I was living in. In some ways, that made me feel better. I'd rather be horny right now than angry.I cleaned up and headed to the mansion. Once I was certain that the alpha's girlfriend would not require my assistance, I locked myself in my room for the remainder of the day, doing my best to forget Amari's betrayal.I missed Mom, who was still in the nursery. I considered going to the nursery but decided against it. Bored and tired of staying in the room, I headed towards the dump site and broke into a run when I spotted some broken flower pots. After looking them over, I prepared to get my hands dirty and went to the garden.After adding nutrient-rich soil to the pots and picking some flowers to replant, I went to the lake with the sincere hope that the flowers would sprout.I felt a pang of sadness when I recalled trying to convince Amari to start a flower business with me during my last
D'Angelo"What's going on here?" I roared, shooting Kira a nasty frown, but my anger was a ruse, a fake outrage to keep her safe from Alexis, whose fingerprints I could see clearly on her cheek. Alexis was bleeding, and I was concerned for both her and our unborn child. She burst into crocodile tears when I lifted her off the ground."I warned you that I would be very stressed out by this Omega girl. She is so worthless and stupid. Look at me now.""Alexis, we have to take you to the hospital, dammit. It's not normal for you to be bleeding while pregnant." I was worried that she might have miscarried, and my heart was racing. Regardless of whether I was with the wrong partner or not, I didn't want to lose my child. Kira looked very shaken, and fear flashed through her eyes like a deer caught in headlights.With a voice full of sharp disgust, Alexis pointed at her. "Just pray to the moon goddess that nothing happens to my baby, or I'll kill you!”"Come on, let's go," I snapped at Ale
KiraMy mom shot me a cold look, clearly annoyed that I had disobeyed her request to stay upstairs. Despite her insistence, my curiosity about the meeting between her and the alpha consumed me. I tried to stay quiet and composed in my bedroom, but I couldn't. She was taking longer than necessary, and I had to head downstairs to know what they were discussing.Upon entering, I saw Mom smiling, a good sign that the discussion was positive. But when she saw me, she gave me a "you're so stubborn" look and stood up. She turned to D'Angelo and said, "I guess it's time to leave you two to discuss." He nodded, and I moved aside to let her go. I was glad the place was dark, despite feeling a little awkward being alone with the Alpha. Although werewolves have enhanced vision, I was sure no one was around. Even if someone was, D'Angelo was the alpha, and no omega could question him. He patted the chair where my mom had just left and said, "Sit." I perched on the edge, experiencing opposin
KiraI woke up to the sound of loud bells piercing through the peaceful silence of the room. With a loud groan, I rubbed my eyes, shaking off the drowsy fog in my head and savoring the comforting feel of the soft bed beneath me. As usual, my joy was short-lived. The bell pierced the silence, signaling the start of the pack run my mom had told me about the night before.I collapsed on the bed, dreading the thought of facing the higher-ranked werewolves during the run. "Do I have to go? You know I hate running," I complained. “It's compulsory, sweetie,” mom said. “You of all people should know that."Omegas prepared for the run and I was surprised at the level of excitement that filled the air from the pounding of feet on the floor, slamming of doors, and voices and chatter that filled the house.I, on the other hand, lay on my bed like a log, feeling reluctant. Why in the world did they think that a pack run would be so exciting? I collapsed onto the bed and stuffed my face with a pi
Kira Zina and I headed to the Omega tent after I had told her repeatedly that I could send for my mom, but she insisted on going to meet her herself. "Come on, Kira, I'm not a monster," she laughed. The Alpha didn't say it's forbidden to visit an Omega, or are you ashamed of me?" "What?" I laughed, bristling. "It should be the other way around.""Then let's go. I can't wait to see your mom." She stepped into the omega duplex with mega confidence, and her silver heels clicked on the floor. A small smile played on her lips as she scanned the area, making eye contact with each omega. Her gaze lingered on theirs, unwavering and confident. The omegas faces were filled with curiosity as they took in the unusual duo. My heart swelled with pride at associating with someone like Zina.They seemed to be wondering what a refined woman like her was doing with a smelly omega. Then they began to whisper among themselves in hushed tones while fixing their gazes intently on me.I tried to dodge
Warning: Mature content!🔞🔞🔞D'AngeloAfter the long meeting filled with disagreements, empty threats, and fighting back in small, unsuccessful ways from greedy, self-centered opportunists, I was exhausted.Since the subsidy reduction would lessen their fat pockets, the majority of them were against it. The only person who had the courage to openly oppose me and even use profanity was Jones, Alexis's father."Darn it, D'Angelo, this rushed decision is affecting our livelihoods. For most of us, the income from our lands is what keeps our families and communities together."I would have given the idiot the beating he deserved if he had not been older than me. He would not stop, no matter how many people tried to warn him."Jones, you need to stop being greedy and look at the bigger picture. We can enhance the development of our region by investing the funds in building additional infrastructure. In the long run, everyone will gain from it. You cannot make me change my mind; my word i
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
