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

Adonis I stood frozen at the podium, unable to believe what I was hearing. The shocked looks on the audience's faces, as well as Iris's sobbing, confirmed that I was not dreaming. My mouth dropped open as Iris confessed. I tried to speak, but my words dried up, unable to comprehend the terrifying bombshell that Sophia had dropped on me without warning. My hands clenched into fists as I struggled to control the rage that was rising inside me. The betrayal stung like a thousand blades. This was supposed to be a memorable occasion, but lris duped me and turned it into a nightmare. Her audacity made my blood boil.It was so bad that I forgot to breathe until I felt pressure on my chest.How dare she! What kind of twisted person could Iris be, given that she was both a member of the Syndicate pack and the daughter of that despicable murderer? It was enough to make me see red.The girl I loved, to whom I had opened my heart and soul, was actually my enemy. The one who had made me feel al

Alexander paced around, and fury almost choked him as he lashed out at his guard for being careless enough to let Victoria and her daughters out of their sight."You bloody bastards! How could you let her travel without my permission? I explicitly told you to keep an eye on her. Can't you at least do something right in your lives?"They bowed their heads shamefully. Although Alexander knew his wife was cunning and would find a way to do whatever she wanted, he still needed to assign blame to someone.When he returned from his trip to the northern region and discovered that someone was actively seeking ways to expose Iris and gathering information about her family, he warned Victoria not to entertain her."But darling, we need to find a way to get Iris out of there. He could kill her. The lady assured me that she would protect Iris, but first she needed to determine whether her suspicions were correct.”Alexander agreed but never expected Victoria to go to the Lycan pack and attend the

IrisI sobbed quietly, and my tears echoed against the dank cell's cold walls. I've never felt more lost and alone in my life—not even when I was shipped to the sister sanctuary, when Ethan broke my heart and married someone else, or when my father repeatedly rejected me.This one really cut me. I couldn't think of anything else other than how Adonis' eyes drank me up, filled with pain for betraying him.I took him for granted. I took my freedom for granted and was a little foolish. My grief was overwhelming and painful, and I wept aloud while rocking back and forth.I curled up in a corner, attempting to find comfort on the hard, unforgiving floor, and my voice broke as I tried to sing to drown out my pain. Was there any hope for me?I whispered his name,m, and I longed for him to see the truth, to make him recognize that I wasn't his enemy. I, too, was a victim. I didn't choose to be born by my dad.“I'm sorry," I said softly, hoping that the air would carry it to Adonis. "I'm so so

Iris When I looked down at the abyss of water in front of me, fear gripped me. The wind tugged on my hair, whipping it across my face and temporarily blinding me. I imagined them pushing me, and I gasped, panting in fear. My feet shuffled backward, pulling away from the edge, and my eyes searched the horizon for any sign of escape. There was none. My body shivered, hoping that the love I shared with Adonis would soften his heart and make him understand that I had no intention of harming him. Boots crunched on the gravel, and the guards realized another set of vans was approaching. My heart began to beat so fast that I lost control. The guards' radio crackled, and they spoke in low voices. I could feel Adonis' presence. Fear gripped my heart when I noticed a third convoy with the syndicate flag. Panic was brewing within me; there would undoubtedly be bloodshed. When Adonis stepped out of the car, I choked back a cry and felt like my breath had been cut off. There was a cold, black

Sophia's heels clicked against the floor of the three-star restaurant on the outskirts of town. Victoria and her daughters sat at the window, waiting for her. Victoria and her daughter sat like royalty, their eyes cold, and their smiles oozed fakeness. If Sophia hadn't been trying to get rid of Iris, she would have sympathized with her because every member of her family despised her."Hello, darling," she said, offering Sophia a side hug. "How lovely to see you."Sophia forced a smile and sat across from them. She studied the menu, pretending to be uninterested. Her daughters sipped their wine with shark-like eyes, though one of them was clearly sympathetic towards Iris because she was the one who kept asking if Adonis would spare her life.The other wouldn't blink an eye if Iris died."I would like to thank you for everything, Victoria. Your assistance and timely response were impressive."Victoria smirked and leaned against her seat. "It was necessary. Iris is my husband's only leg

While she was gone, his mind was filled with worst-case scenarios.What if she never returned? What if Adonis finally got his revenge, and she was caught in the crossfire?He could imagine her excuse: "Darling, I had to go and represent you." That's why I'm your Luna."Stubborn, as always.Why the hell would she put herself in danger? Did she not realize Adonis was thirsty for blood?Victoria walked in with a bright smile, accompanied by her daughters, Bianca and Serena.

IrisI sat on my bed in my new cell, gazing around in amazement. After days of being trapped in a dark, enclosed space with no human interaction, I felt like a different person.I was still in prison, but this cell was extremely comfortable. Gone were the endless hours of darkness when I could not tell if it was day or night. Now I could see sunlight streaming through the window; it was afternoon, and a garden faced me.My legs crossed as I sat on the bed's edge, testing its comfort. The bed was so spacious that it could accommodate two adults. In my head, I imagined Adonis lying there with his strong arms around me.Making love to me."You are such a fool," I said aloud.How could I think about Adonis when he hated me and knew who I really was?Although I tried to be realistic, it was difficult to stop thinking about him. About the moistness of his lips when we kissed, and how he made me feel like a woman. I shook my head, attempting to clear my mind of the dirty thoughts.I got up t
