All Chapters of Alpha Adonis: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

IrisI sat in a well-ventilated lecture hall, which had a presenter's voice droning on about the importance and role of the Lycan luna. Sitting attentively, I fixed my gaze on the speaker, while Natalia dozed beside me, her scarf covering her face."As Luna, you must understand the value of diplomacy," the presenter explained. "You must learn to cooperate with the alpha and never make decisions on your own."With Adonis possibly choosing me, I had to be prepared and understand what I was getting myself into. I was even taking notes, hoping to absorb every word and detail.I wondered what it was like to be the alpha's mate. Will I have real power, or will I simply be a figurehead? To think I was changing from spectator to potential alpha mate. It was intimidating to think about.The presenter interrupted my thoughts. "What's going on? Were you all given sleeping pills or something? "Everyone on your feet," she ordered, ringing the bell. "We will now break into groups for a discussion

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. She leaned against the wall, wondering when this madness would be over.Her husband, Bruno, had proven himself to be nothing but a spineless coward, a fact that angered her to no end. But her concern for her niece, Iris, weighed heavily on her heart.She sensed danger and was desperate to warn Iris to flee for her life. Helena knew Alexander's evil nature and feared he would stop at nothing to cause harm. Her greatest fear was that he would drag Iris back into his cruel world, where the poor girl suffered as a maid in her father's house. History was repeating itself. Her sister, Mona Lisa, whom she fondly called Mona, endured the same fate. Helena cursed herself for exposing Iris to the danger of daring to step foot in the Lycan pack. Once Adonis, Alexander's mortal enemy, discovered the truth about Iris, her life would be in grave danger. He could kill her

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 leave with

IrisI struggled to open my eyes, but my eyelids felt heavy and my vision was uncoordinated. 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 I felt a pain shooting through my back, making me gasp. I reached around and felt a thick layer of sterile dressing covering my skin.Then memories from that horror 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 sounded disgusting

My mind fluttered away, anxious that D-Day had finally approached. 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 smoothly. It wasn't as exciting as a competition would be, 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 us.On D-Day, we were getting dressed, and the private helicopters were already outside to fly us. I felt a little sad to leave this beautiful place, so full of peace and far away from the madness and complexities of life."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 perfect."My stomach churned, and I felt impelled 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
