Alpha Adonis Thirty-Two
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
Alpha Adonis Thirty-Three
When I entered Adonis' room, the lighting was dim and barely revealed his sleeping figure. Despite his powerful Lycan nature, he looked subdued, as if he had been knocked out by strong medications. My mind was filled with confusion. How could someone so powerful as Adonis fall ill? His blood was stronger than most werewolves', and he should be more resistant to illnesses and diseases than we are.Fred's gaze bore into me as if reading my thoughts. His smile, though gentle, seemed forced."Don't worry about him," he assured me. "It's just stress. I'm sure when he wakes up, he'll feel a lot better.""What's causing him stress?" He seemed fine the last time I saw him."Fred ran a hand through his hair, looking uncomfortable as hell. This aroused my curiosity, and I wondered what he was hiding.But who was I to judge him when I was drowning in lies and secrets myself? From his body language, I assumed he was doing the same thing- hiding the truth. The air was heavy with silence, which w

Alpha Adonis Thirty-Five
IrisThe girls were fuming with envy towards me, and I noticed how they would frown and sulk whenever I walked into the room. They were unnecessarily rude, talking behind my back and smiling unkindly at me, and the ones who were nice enough were putting on an act.Jealousy couldn't be hidden, no matter how hard they tried to mask it. The way the girls were acting toward me was unsettling. Their envy was consuming them so much that I worried they might do something to hurt me.I hope they do not attempt to poison my food.Sitting cross-legged on my bed, I brought out a classic literature book I got from Adonis' study, and tried to ignore the subtle insults from the other girls. The trick was to act like I didn't hear them, but I couldn't deny that their words stung. It was hard to remain calm.“Let's be real.” One of the girls who seemed the most hurtful spoke up. “Alpha Adonis might have flirted with other girls too. He's probably testing to see who's the best before making his choice
Alpha Adonis Thirty-Six
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

AdonisI was furious when I discovered that some sick bastard dared to douse Iris's body with acid. It felt like a cruel joke, a sickening slap in the face—and I couldn't wrap my head around something so despicable that could happen to a sweet and pure soul like Iris.I blamed myself for letting her leave the safety of my sight. If only she had stayed a little longer, maybe this terrible act could have been prevented. The thought of what she must be going through now fills me with rage beyond words.Machines were beeping, and medical staff in scrubs were working quickly to attend to her. My mind was chaotic as I paced around the small clinic."Dammit," I swore, breathless with rage. After they had gotten her out of danger, I was allowed to see her. I gently brushed a hair off her face while the highly skilled medical staff efficiently attended to her wounds. "We've identified that the acid used is a mild form, and fortunately, it didn't affect her internal organs. She will recover

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.

Adonis, who would never choose them anyway? They had no shame. It sounded disgusting
