Adonis When tears rolled down Iris cheeks and she pleaded her innocence, I refused to believe her, even though I was struggling with my emotions.But it was all too well planned. Alexander was my enemy, and he wanted me dead. The feelings were mutual. It was not strange for his daughter to enter the beauty contest and then plot against me. Despite knowing this, I was confused. Iris' claims of innocence contradicted my suspicions, and I couldn't pretend I didn't love her when she occupied my thoughts and dreams.Her stunning eyes haunted me. Her gentle kiss burned me. I sincerely wanted to believe she was innocent. But I'd seen it before: beautiful, innocent-looking faces, with evil intentions.I doubted every word she spoke. Her innocence was a trick to pull me deeper into her trap.I headed to the entrance gate and gripped the polished iron bars. "Be grateful that you have a comfortable room with freshly laundered sheets, healthy food and books to read,” I mocked her. She remained

The tension over his lack of an heir was dangerously high.There were concerns about the pack's future leadership. The council and elders refused to accept that Bianca's son would succeed him after his death.Alexander had never felt more confused in his life. He found the idea of the position going to another family very disturbing, especially since one of his distant cousins had a bastard son with Alpha blood. His ungrateful pack members were now considering making him the heir to the throne.Council members sat in a circle on finely crafted leather chairs. Alexander looked past them, his gaze fixed on the portraits of the previous alphas: his father, grandfather, and great-grandfathers.He could not look at the stranger sitting across from him.

Sophia felt as if the ground would open and swallow her up. Her nakedness was on display, and her clothes were scattered across the ground.Natalia stormed toward them and slapped Sophia across the face as she was rushing to pick them up. The smack was loud and echoed throughout the room, and she staggered backwards."What was that for?" Sophia screamed at her. Natalia returned her gaze with a murderous glare. Adonis, barely awake, appeared to enjoy it, chuckling as his wife rushed in to save the day. "I warned you before, bitch, and I am warning you again," Natalia yelled at Sophia. "Stay away from my husband." Have the decency and self-respect to recognize that he does not like you. You are not attractive enough to turn him on. You will never be Iris!"Sophia snickered, despite the fact that the words hurt her deeply. She felt like hurting the bitch."And who are you to lecture me on self-respect when you walked down the aisle with your friend's man without protesting? What does th

AdonisI lay in my king-size bed, surrounded by a pile of pillows, watching Natalia worry herself to death. She opened the heavy drapes to let in the natural light and turned on the flat-screen television."I know what you need," she said, her feet bouncing out. "Purified air to flush out the poison that witch Sophia injected into you. I'll be right back."She ran outside and returned moments later, thrusting a small green bottle under my nose. "This will get all of the poison out of your lungs. I’ll make you some soup to make you feel better. Your doctor is downstairs. Would you like me to fetch him?’I shook my head, shifting uncomfortably, wondering why Natalia was being nice to me.Given that I forced her to marry me, she should hate me and be unconcerned about my well-being. I was not worthy of her concern, especially after depriving her of freedom.Yet here she was, nursing me back to health and even defending me against Sophia's lame attempt at seduction the day before.I felt so

Hours later, after the medication had worn off and I could resume my normal activities, I was about to indulge in my guilty pleasures when I received a distressing call informing me that my dad had been rushed to the intensive care unit.“What now?” I groaned aloud, wishing that all of these problems would stop, as they were becoming overwhelming.Fred drove me to the pack hospital, and we rushed up to the ICU. Dad lay motionless on the bed. Uncle Axton sat next to him. He held my dad's hand, looking devastated."Don't give up, Marcus. Please. We have to tell him.”“Tell who what?” I asked him as I walked into the room. Uncle Axton's body stiffened visibly. Dad opened his eyes and let out a sick groan."Ah, Donnie, you are here," Uncle Axton said, unsure of himself and smiling faintly.A nurse in scrubs walked in to check my dad's temperature. The silence was oppressive, and when a doctor entered, he acknowledged my presence and whispered to the nurse while they performed their duties.

IrisI smiled, jumped to my feet, and rushed over to Natalia. We hugged tightly, enjoying the warmth of each other's company."Oh, Natalia, you are like a breath of fresh air. Having you visit me is always therapeutic."She smiled, reached into her bag and pulled out a stylish new phone."I got this for you. You need to stay in touch in case Adonis prevents me from coming here. We also need to start planning your escape."My hand paused midway, and the thought of leaving made my heart ache. As stupid as it sounded, I couldn't bear the thought of staying away from Adonis.Was I crazy? Maybe. Despite the pain and confinement, a part of me knew I couldn't live without Adonis' touch, kisses, and even the degrading sex he exposed me to. He could have killed me, but instead he kept me alive and cared for me in his own twisted way. Was there even a real reason for me to leave? I loved him, no matter how toxic it sounded. Stockholm syndrome was kicking in. Leaving meant abandoning the hope

It was time to speak out.But first, she had to persuade her longtime friend, who was a witness to what she had done twenty-one years ago."Have you lost your damn mind?" Her friend Rachel snapped at her while they sat in Helena's front yard. "How do you expect us to rush up to an innocent woman and inform her that the child she has raised for 21 years is not hers?"Helena sighed. Her sorrow was a massive, painful knot within her.“If Iris had not grown on me and I hadn't developed such strong feelings for her, if I didn't want her to be free forever, I'd keep my mouth shut. But Adonis believes she is Alexander's daughter. The innocent girl is wasting away in his cell."Rachel held up her hands. "I don't want to be involved in this. We are both retired now, and I rely solely on the govern

She held her palms up and out, pleading with the moon goddess to explain why she was allowing to suffer. If this so-called moon goddess was so caring, why did she seem to enjoy seeing her in pain? Was she truly fair and just, as many claimed? Sarah had always been taught to honor the moon goddess, relying on her wisdom and kindness. But now, her faith was shattered.
