LOGINHello, dear readers. allow me introduce you to the very first chapter from Adam's POV. Things are getting heated up between the boys! What could have happened to Revon? How do you think Adam will react once he knows the truth? Will Revon even tell him? Let me know what you think :)
Annalise sat down in her walk-in closet between her Gucci coats and the Dior ones.There was no elegance to her action, just pure exhaustion at the end of the day. Her hands shook, and her skin burned. She needed the pills so badly, but Derk’s warning kept ringing in her ear. She really needed to control herself. She’d already had about seven of them, and the day hadn’t even ended.Her ears ran with Mercy’s cries. She was usually a calm infant, but the devil had gotten into her that evening, and she kept crying for four hours straight. To make matters worse, her older children, Greta and Adrian, had seen their father leave and kept asking her when he was going to come back.Annalise was already overwhelmed, and the noise was just driving her crazy. She’d screamed at Greta and Adrian, making the children protest even more, and got the maids to take them away to their rooms, making them cry.And then she spiked Mercy’s milk with a little whiskey. Not enough to hurt, but to make her a li
The house was abuzz with servants running around when she returned.A young maid nearly collided with her as she rushed out of the door with a suitcase. Annalise had to jump out of the way to avoid her.“Watch where you’re going!” she snapped, hand automatically going to the coat pocket that held her pills.“I’m terribly sorry, Madam,” the maid replied with a slight bow of her head. It was one of the East Asian ones, she supposed.“Why are you in such a hurry?” she asked. “Also, why are there so many suitcases?”“Mr. Hartwell said the trip has been extended, Madam,” the maid looked nervous as she conveyed the information. “He will be staying past the New Year.”“What?!” Annalise’s fists clenched. “And this is how I get informed of this? By a maid!”The poor girl looked terrified.“I’m sorry, Madam,” she bowed again. “We were just informed as well.”With a huff, Annalise turned on her heel and barreled into the house.Annalise was no stranger to gigantic houses that were far too large
Thank God it was winter.Otherwise, Annalise wasn’t certain how she could’ve explained away the long sleeves and the intense shivering. As she walked down an alley that was still dark in the middle of the day, she buried her fingers in the gloves and tried to keep from itching her skin. There were already red scratches all over her arm, and she didn’t want to make them bleed.As she rounded the corner, she desperately hoped that Derk had already arrived at their meeting spot. Usually, they did their business after the sun set, but Annalise knew she would not be able to hold on for that long.She had gone through her weekly stash faster than expected. But it wasn’t her fault; it had been Christmas. Which meant both her and her husband’s parents and siblings decided to plague her with their presence, and she had been expected to host them for Christmas dinner.And it had been awful. Mrs. Hartwell was cattier than ever, always finding a fault in Annalise, and Mr. Hartwell simply did not c
“Alright, I’ve given you enough time to deal with…whatever this is, and everyone’s getting even more worried than we were,” my father’s voice came from the doorway. “Care to tell me what exactly is going on with you and your boyfriend that’s got you drinking alone in the dark? Also, is that from my premium collection?”I gulped down the leftover whiskey in my tumbler and put the glass down with far too much force.“Y’know,” I slurred, my brain feeling as if it were swimming in jelly. “Y’know what’s the mos’ fucked up par’ bout’ this?”“Jesus Christ, how much have you had to drink?” Dad asked, moving closer, squinting at the base of my chair. “Three bottles? You drank three bottles of…is that rum? When do you even drink rum?”I ignored him.“The mos’ fucked up part is that I had a fuckin’ dream, Dad,” I looked at him. “How the fuck could I ‘ave dreamt it, Dad?”“Adam, you’re not making any sense,” my father replied, his voice soft. “We have no idea what’s going on with you two. You went
“Revon, stop!” I screamed as I took after him. “Revon!”But Revon didn’t seem to have heard any of it. He stumbled out of the reception room with all the grace of a newborn colt, nearly falling on his face when he slipped on some melted snow at the doorway.I didn’t think twice before running after him.To be honest, I…didn’t know what to think. It was like my mind refused to process what I’d just learned, and instead, I focused on salvaging the situation at hand with a frightening intensity.The cold and the snow hit me hard as soon as I exited the building. The storm had descended upon the city during the minutes we’d been inside, and it was already compromising my visibility.I could barely make out Revon’s shape racing towards the road from the alley.“Revon, stop!” I cried out once more, but he was not listening.He ran like he was processed, faster than a track athlete. His feet hadn’t even made deep indents on the snow; the man was pretty much flying.My lungs burned as I raced
I couldn’t breathe.I could not breathe.I remembered it all.I remembered the baby, I remembered the phone call. I remembered going to school despite everything telling me to stay home. I remembered Annalise’s assault.I remembered how it hurt. How I’d curled around myself immediately to protect my stomach. That was how my head was so damaged; I hadn’t protected it at all.All that was in my mind was that I had to protect the baby.All throughout the assault, they kept cursing me out, kept telling me what kind of a slut I was to go after another woman’s Alpha, but none of it mattered.I remembered begging them to stop, telling them I was pregnant and they were trying to kill my baby, but they had just laughed at me.They’d thought I lied.At the end, just before I lost consciousness, one of them whispered in my ear.“Stay away from Adam Kennedy, or the next time, you won’t get away with your life.”And then…I remembered waking up in a hospital. My family had been there. They were ang
“Sorry about that, I did not see you coming. My fault entirely. Are you okay?”I blinked, trying to stop my head from ringing. Did I fricking run into a wall?But then I realized the wall could talk.I looked up.And bit back a groan.Of course, it had to be him.Tall, dark, and handsome, with a bo
Chapter 1. Revon. “No son of mine will be an Omega!”My father’s roar flinched through the sterile hospital room. Victory looked down, clearly to hide a smug smile. My mother looked as if she’d bitten into a lemon. Poor Dr. Lewis, who hadn’t asked to be entangled in the Hawthorne family drama, kep
“Don’t…” Adam breathed, and suddenly, he lurched forward.I didn’t know what to do. It was far too late to step back, and I wasn’t heartless enough to let him fall face-first onto the dirty bathroom floor.So of course, he landed on my arms.My heart started racing as his scent filled my nostrils,
Adam’s football friends strode towards us, and I felt a cold sweat on the back of my neck as I saw the expression on his face.Adam was nowhere to be seen.As soon as they were close to us, Annalise sprang to her feet and rushed to them.“Oh, Jaice, AJ! I just wanted to sit with my friends,” she pl
