Adonis

My eyelids fluttered open. My vision was hazy and blurry because I awoke from a deep sleep. I rubbed my eyes to get rid of the grogginess, and it took a few seconds to clear up.

Forcing my way through the maze of confusion, I looked up, feeling lost and surprised.

As soon as the drizzle touched my skin, I knew that I was in my human form and looked around. I was outside in the purple garden on the grass.

Never in my Twenty-Six years of living had I felt such serenity and calmness around me, but I couldn't remember why. It felt strange like someone had calmed my inner storm.

My recollections were disorganized, so it was impossible to piece together the event. My crazy wolf was unusually quiet, as though its impulses had been restrained with a tight leash.

Raindrops hit my skin as the drizzle got heavier. "What happened last night?" I kept asking myself.

My wolf suffered from fast memory loss and impulse control disorders, so it was a relief not to feel the usual emptiness and depressive moodiness that accompanied my transformations.

My violent wolf tendencies drove me to roam in a rage every night, but this time there was no sign of that darkness, no restless roaming.

Strange.

I stayed in the garden even though the rain was getting heavier and heavier. I was feeling so rejuvenated that I did not care that it was pounding me.

My robe was soaked with rain as I embraced the coolness of the grass. Everything was quiet, and it was almost four in the morning.

I wasn't a fan of this wife hunt contest, and I had no intention of replacing Isabella, the love of my life, who was murdered by that bastard Syndicate Alpha, Alexander.

But I had to get married, I had to have a child. Even if I mourned Isabella forever, life must go on, and I had a lot expected of me. My packmates didn't give a shit about my suffering.

The sound of footsteps reached my ears, making me perk up. I remained still, curious about the approaching presence.

My friends, Freddie and Sophia, came up to me. They discovered me lying in the garden drenched in rain, with Sophia clutching an umbrella.

She reached out to touch me, but I stopped myself in time, not failing to notice her lips tightening into a frown and her face dropping.

"We’ve been searching for you, Adonis," Freddie said. "Are you okay?"

I said nothing. My friends had reason to be cautious, and they were worried that I suffered an episode alone.

The only people who knew about my cursed wolf were my father, my closest friends, and my physicians since being in the public eye with such instability could ruin my leadership.

"We've been looking for you," Sophia said as I stood up. "You had us worried. Are you alright?"

"Why are you out here in the rain?" Freddie said.

"Can you guys stop with the questions? You can see that I am doing okay."

Sophia spoke after hesitating a moment. "Adonis, being out here by yourself without supervision is not good for you. You should have woken one of us to keep an eye on you. You know the girls are at the other wing of the house."

I gave her a strange little smile that took her by surprise.

"Why are you smiling? You rarely smile these days."

I played with a blade of grass. She was right. My life descended into resentment and hatred, and my only goal was to plot my revenge for my wife's death.

"Something happened last night, something very different, but I can't remember."

They moved closer to me, studying me. "Different how?" Freddie asked.

"Not much comes to mind, but I experienced a peace of mind I haven't felt in years. I think my wolf met someone. Unfortunately, it's not good at storing memories.

"Someone?" they chorused.

"Yes. It was tranquilized by the person's presence, but I’m not sure who it was. I have no memory of anything."

"Could it be one of the contestants from the beauty contest?" Sophia said in a rush. "Do you remember anything about her hair color, eye color, height?"

I shook my head. "I don't even know who the gender is. I wish I could, but it's all a blur."

"Whoever she is, she's in trouble because if I find out anyone broke the rules by coming outside..."

"Why do you sound so serious?" Freddie nudged Sophia. “If one of the girls is capable of taming his wolf, then that's a good thing.”

With a sudden doubt in my voice, I added, "Or maybe I am making it up."

Without warning, I walked away from them and headed to my bedroom to change out of my wet clothes. I was standing at the window, looking out at the spot where the rain had just stopped, and observed the droplets dancing across the glass.

"Good morning, Adonis," said my doctor friend Mark as he walked quietly into the room with a tray containing multiple syringes of the drug meant to suppress my wolf side.

My eyes moved from the view outside to the tray. I was not in the mood for any of these concoctions.

"What do you want?" I snapped.

"It's time for your medication," he said with a soft tone, approaching cautiously.

I turned to the window. "I'm tired of those, Mark. Get rid of them."

Mark was silent behind me, and he appeared very worried when I briefly glanced at him.

"I mean it. Get rid of them."

"Adonis, you can't skip your medication. You must never miss a day. You and I know this."

I tapped my fingers to release energy and pursed my lips. "Buddy, I know you care, but I'm sick of this. I don't care anymore if I lose control. The medication does not even seem to be working."

Mark looked as though I'd given him a hard slap on the face. He recovered quickly dropped the tray on the table and tried to persuade me.

"Adonis, think about what's at stake. Think about what everyone will say, about the danger this could cause. Please take your medicine now for the benefit of everyone you love."

"I won't," I maintained. Give me five days to abstain from it. I promise I'll return to it if my wolf relapses. Please, if you truly care, you'd grant my request for a break.”

    Iris“Why did I get so turned on in that cell when you flogged and degraded me?” I asked Adonis, curious about his answer. I rolled over to my back and he chuckled as he ran his fingers gently along my jawline, making goosebumps erupt under his touch. “Because you’re not as innocent as you think. You don't like vanilla sex.”“What's that?“It's when you have sex that involves more of a mutual give and take of pleasure. You don't like that.”“That's not true,” I countered. “I like sex with passion. But I like a little pain.”He looked at me with a broad grin and I flushed with embarrassment. “Don't make this difficult.”“Tell me what you like?” He said, his voice husky as he nuzzled my nose and peppered kisses around my chin.”"I have no idea,” I said truthfully. “You're the more experienced one.”“Power imbalance, that's what it is. You want me to dominate you. You delight in the sexual abandonment that comes with forfeiting control of your body and actions.”I bit my lip and my body

    IrisThe sorrow and pain in my heart was overwhelming; I couldn't stop sobbing. Adonis carried me over to his bedroom. Once there, he gently laid me down on the bed and sat down beside me.His hand brushed through my hair as he whispered soothing words in my ear and rubbed my shoulder.

And then there was Natalia. Their betrayal ripped open wounds inside of me . The secrets and lies I had uncovered were like a heavy weight crushing my heart."Please, Iris, take your pills," Adonis begged me. But I shook my head, my eyes welling up with tears. "Take those damn pills away,” I yelled at him. “You don't understand what I went through. All the suffering and pain of being an Omega in an alpha household. I was constantly humiliated by my dad and stepmom who made my life a living hell!” My voice cracked a

    IrisMemories burst forth like fireworks in my mind, sharp and explosive. Each recollection came with a stabbing headache, like a dagger twisting in my brain. I winced and squeezed my eyes shut against the pain. But even the agony couldn't dim my joy. I was remembering things! Fragments of my past, long buried, were resurfacing. Faces, names, moments – all flooding back like a dam breaking.Adonis looked at me like he was seeing me for the first time. His mouth fell open in a gape. The way he grew still and serious made me chuckle. “You remember?” Was all he could say and I nodded. “I remember.”He went on his knees and grabbed my hand tightly, his breath hitching slightly. “Oh goddess…You really remember…” “It doesn't take a lot of effort on my part to remember how you locked me up and spanked my ass cheeks”He leaned back on his haunches and grinned widely, showing all his teeth. “Well, if it turns you on, I'm at your service all day. Just say the word.”I wanted to laugh, but

    AdonisI stood beside Natalia in the Lycan court to finalize our divorce.We had signed the papers a week ago, and today was the final step. Natalia's parents and Fred were present as well.The elderly judge looked over the papers and then gazed at us with a warm smile. "Adonis and Natalia, you have both agreed to this divorce, is that correct?""Yes, your honor," we replied in unison.His smile grew and he looked thoroughly amused. “ I must say, I've never seen a couple as amiable as you two. Happy divorce, I guess. Your marriage is hereby dissolved. May you both find happiness on your separate paths."“Congratulations to us,” Natalia said to me with a wink. Her parents and Fred applauded, and the judge was so dumbstruck which added more humor to the scene.I was about to walk away with Natalia when she grabbed my arm to stop me.“Oh yes, there's one thing I forgot to mention," she said. “Don’t give up on Iris.”My response was a pinky promise. I stepped out of the court and Fred drew

    IrisNatalia burst into my room, bouncing from foot to foot. Her eyes sparkled with excitement. "Okay, girl, let's get you ready for your big night!"Her energy was infectious and I felt a lightness in her chest.She began pulling out dress after dress from a bag and lay them on the bed. They all looked expensive."I think these are a bit too much for a garden date, don't you?" I ventured, eyeing the designer gowns. Natali ignored me, too busy sorting through the dresses and matching shoes and jewelry to each one."Ooh, this silver clutch would go perfectly with this dress!” she exclaimed, holding up a tiny bag that seemed to be made of pure moonbeams. "You're really getting into this, aren't you?" “Mm-hmm.”She continued to coordinate outfits with an intensity that rivaled a military operation, completely absorbed in her mission to make me look "absolutely stunning""Natalia, are you always this invested in your friends' dates?" "Maybe a little.But I just want to see you happy, Iri

    AdonisMy smiling was unrestrained and I felt all tension leaving my body and the temporary breathlessness after I pulled away from Iris' lips. It was like my life had snapped back to normal, and all the pain I felt this past month disappeared.Happiness was indeed a powerful emotion. One that was difficult to find when you've spent your whole life being miserable. My eyes were fixated on hers and they were shining brightly. She smiled back at me, and my heart skipped a beat. Her smile lit up her whole face and it made my heart fucking soar."I think I need to learn how to kiss properly. You seem like a pro,” said Iris, grinning.With great difficulty I tore my gaze from hers and grinned, unable to speak properly. "You're doing just fine. I don't mind sloppy kisses, I love you regardless. I love you much more than you can ever imagine.”Her face blushed pink and the grin slipped from my face."Did I say something uncomfortable? I'm sorry, I-”"No! No. Don't apologize.”"Then why did
