All Chapters of Alpha Adonis: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

AdonisI stood in the corner of the room with my hands crossed tightly over my chest. Sophia's screams were piercing my ears. I'd never seen anyone act so mad before. Her face was flushed, and her rage was violent and uncontrolled. She began thrashing herself and destroying things, her fury unleashing a chaotic storm in the room.My heartbeat pounded in my ears, and I had an edgy, twitchy feeling of satisfaction. I wasn't sorry for Alexander's death, not after the life of misery he put the love of my life through, not after inciting violence that led to Isabella's death. But I was satisfied that he was killed by his own blood.Justice had prevailed.Helena, Iris' aunt was shaking her head, and tears streamed down her face. She looked sorrowful beyond description, and kept laying her hand against her breast bone, blaming herself for everythingSarah and Geoffrey sat with grim expressions and their hands clasped tightly together. Sarah had a pained look. She must be wondering where she

Justin was cutting off the heads of the fish he had caught the night before. He slit the belly from the vent to the head and removed the innards carefully before peeling off the skin and rinsing the catfish thoroughly in the water to clean off the scales. He planned to sell some and then give the rest to his mother to make a delicious catfish stew and some fillets. Lost in his little world, he didn't realize his mother was calling him until he heard her urgent voice behind him. "She's awake!" his mother cried out. Justin's heart skipped and he dropped the fish, washed his hands and rushed inside. "Are you sure, Mother?" he asked, wide eyed and stood in the hallway. His mother nodded excitedly. "Her eyes are open. She kept staring at me without saying anything." Justin didn't hesitate. He rushed to the spare room where the girl he had rescued from drowning three weeks ago. She had been unconscious, and initially, they thought she was dead. He entered the room quietly, careful not t

AdonisI carefully positioned my dad's portrait on the easel, and my mind raced with emotions. My body trembled, and I felt self-conscious under the gaze of the others. I tried to limit my responses to brief nods or monosyllabic answers, avoiding eye contact and hoping to minimize the attention on me. Pack mates and my dad’s friends gathered for his funeral. We sat on rows of velvet-colored chairs with mourners dressed in formal black attire.Axton, Natalia, and Fred were behind all the preparation. Axton got a lavish coffin that had a royal crest. Natalia took care of refreshments and flower arrangements, and the royal guards stood at attention with their uniforms decorated with medals.I watched everyone pay their respects with gentle sobs and sniffles. The elders began prayers and the ceremonial chanting, and my mind was far away, filled with bitterness.Everyone expected an emotional outburst from me, but I managed my grief well. After all, I’ve been in that state for weeks.I wi

IrisI stayed in the room, my feet planted firmly on the ground, refusing to come out until the strange man left the house. The thought of facing him again made my skin crawl. I didn't like being surrounded by strangers like that, with their prying eyes over excitement.And this new development was weird. I couldn't even remember him. How could someone I supposedly knew so well be a complete stranger to me?My fear and anxiety felt real and goosebumps pricked my skin. My heart pounded away in my chest and I remained in the room, waiting for the coast to be clear.All that excitement and familiarity was just too much for me because my mind was a complete blank.I wondered if I was being too harsh, but honestly, I couldn't help it. He was just so overwhelming. And then there was Justin, who had just asked me to be his girlfriend. I didn't want to look like I was betraying him by running into the arms of this stranger.Justin and Mary came into the room and I sat up, fixing my eyes on t

IrisJustin and I strolled around the exterior of Adonis's mansion. The place was nothing short of beautiful, and I felt a wonder at being here.Forgetting to blink, I moved carefully to admire the fountain, the stone sculptures in various shapes and sizes, the manicured lawns, and every detail of it all.The structure was a far cry from Justin's small home. The grounds seemed to stretch on forever. I couldn't resist the urge to explore further. It was hard to fathom that one person could own so much wealth, and I wondered what kind of person the alpha was.Justin's voice broke into my thoughts. "He's ridiculously rich. I mean, it's almost illegal. How can one person have so much wealth?""Wow," I said softly so as not to break the spell. "And why would someone like that care about me? Does that mean I was rich before...?"My voice trailed off, and Justin looked at me. "I think you were. And I think staying with people from your past could help you remember."I stopped walking and lea
