Alpha Adonis Eighty-Two
Sadness and hopelessness ranged deep in my bones, seeping like rot. I was filled with an overwhelming sorrow of experiencing two losses at once.My heart hurt, and I felt a deep regret, blaming myself day and night for being responsible for all of this. I sat in my dark room, staring blankly at the wall. It had been over three weeks since her disappearance.We had no idea if she was alive or dead, and fear ate at me from the inside. Nothing seemed to matter anymore.The guilt weighed heavily on me. I'd have made wiser decisions and released her sooner. Maybe she wouldn’t have been adopted. She was paying the price for a crime she did not commit, and I didn’t think I would ever forgive myself.Day and night, I sent lifeguards to search for her at the shore. Perhaps seeing her washed up and dead would let me grieve properly, but I just couldn’t give up. I needed to be sure.Someone knocked on the door, but I didn’t bother to respond. Fred walked in holding a tray of food.I hugged my kn

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

IrisI basked in the warmth of the sun and the gentle touch of Justin's hand on my hair as we lay on the grass together. With a contented sigh, I felt my eyelids growing heavy, surrendering to the peace of the moment.Justin and I shared a bond that felt natural and comforting. He showed me kindness and made me feel less isolated. His fingers gently tangled in my hair, and his soothing scalp massage calmed me. Although I was diagnosed with episodic memory loss, where I couldn't remember personal experiences, events or faces, I had grown to adore Justin and his mother, Mary. Mary approached with our lunch and a playful grin spread across her face. She was a blessing, always preparing tasty meals that I eagerly looked forward to."Justin, why not take Ruby to the fair? I bet she would love it there. Maybe even take her on a nice little date," Mary said, her voice crisp and clear.I heard Justin's sharp intake of breath, and he began making excuses that sounded hastily put together."R

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

AdonisI stood there, my mouth wide open, struggling to process the surreal moment. My eyes were fixed on Iris, and my heart sang.The woman I loved, my everything, was standing right in front of me, alive and well, yet it felt like a dream I couldn't wake up from.I hadn't won a jackpot before, nor had I taken any substance that could make me high, but right now, I felt like I'd just taken an overdose.My knees were weak and shaky, like I had just been through an earthquake. The world started spinning around me, and I swayed on the spot like a drunkard, unable to hold myself upright any longer.The moon goddess had finally smiled upon me, granting me a second chance at happiness. I rushed to embrace Iris but stopped midway.My excitement was met with a chilling disinterest. Iris didn't even acknowledge my greeting, let alone return my smile. Instead, her eyes held fear, and her nose scrunched up as if she was seeing a monster.Fuck me.My arms, which had been open wide to embrace her

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

AdonisRestless as a leaf in a storm, I paced around the lobby of my mansion. My mind raced with thoughts of Justin and how much I loathed him."I can't fucking stand him.”My voice hardened ruthlessly. Fred clamped his lips together and Natalia swallowed her laughter. “Why though? He's just a stranger,” Natalia said and I shook my head. "He carries an air of importance as if without him, Iris would have died.”Fred turned away to collect himself. The fool was laughing. “What's funny?” I snapped "Are you happy that my life is a complete mess?”“Ah, come on, Adonis. He's just trying to help."I stopped pacing and turned to face them. "You think my feelings aren't valid? You think I'm just being paranoid?"Natalia stopped laughing. She hesitated before speaking. "It's possible that you're transferring your aggression to Justin because Iris is channeling all her love to him and you feel jealous."I scoffed. "Jealous? Of him? Please. I'm far better than him in every way. How could I po
Alpha Adonis Chapter One
In my pack, nobody knew their wolf type until they turned eighteen. Then, during a special ritual, they found out if they were Alpha, Beta, Delta, or Omega.Two days ago, I hit eighteen, and today my test day. My dad ruled as the alpha of our pack, and my late mom had alpha blood too. But a growing fear gripped my heart—I worried I might turn out different. Maybe it was my stepmother Victoria's fault for constantly implying that I lacked the looks and strength of an alpha. She said it with such conviction that I started to believe her. My age mates moved forward in a long line. We were all dressed in the same white local handwoven dress with a cap made of pink, red, and blue threads. Everyone else seemed confident that they would inherit their parents' bloodline.Elders stood ready with kits at the testing center while parents hoped for the best. My dad wore a bored frown and looked unconcerned that his only legitimate child was about to be tested. My stepmother and her daughters we
