Iris Phoenix

Alizah Iris, a jolly-natured girl, just as her name suggests. She has always been enlivened and filled with bright colors. Her ambitions were as simple, to give her father a good life who was indebted in the weightage of huge loans. But one could not blame his father for it, every money he owed to people was well invested by him in Alizah's education. She was one determined girl but her academics were as poor as her financial status. When every teenager of her age was having a perfect teenage life with dates, parties, and high school, she was busy living a dual life when she enters 'Avalon High School'. She had a part-time job to attend and so tells the reason for her poor academic, she could barely give time to studying after dealing with 2-3 jobs per day. Avalon High wasn't meant for her, it was meant for the elite class students who belonged to rich families. Well, Alizah was given admission under scholarship by her god guardians, Mr. and Mrs. Bradford, who owned a well-known company in London. They were one of the creditors of Alizah's father. They were kind people who believed in charity. Everything goes fine, but could the silence before the storm ever be called peaceful? Like that, not everything that was coming Alizah's way was for her good. He was a hipster and a badass guy. Ronan Morris, the richest heir in Avalon High. He was like a rock who could not be melted no matter what. The stars crossed and so did their paths. He was a psychopath who only knew to play mind games and when he realized Alizah was easy to be targeted, that day Alizah's fate was cursed because no one wants to be the target of Ronan Morris.

Adrian Cain has no past. At least, not one he remembers. He woke up at eighteen with a name, a guardian, and a carefully constructed identity that led him to build one of the most powerful tech empires in the world. Now, as the CEO of CainTech, Adrian is feared, admired, and emotionally impenetrable, his past locked behind clinical amnesia, sealed files, and a steel wall he doesn't dare breach. Until the suicides start. After two employees from his most classified division die under suspicious circumstances, trauma counselor Sera Vaughn is brought in to assess the psychological impact on staff. But Sera has her own reasons for stepping into CainTech, her older brother vanished fifteen years ago, and the only lead she has left is a face in an old photograph: Adrian’s. But his name back then wasn’t Adrian. It was Daniel Ward. As Sera begins digging into Adrian’s history and as Adrian’s carefully managed psyche begins to crack, long-buried memories start surfacing: a mysterious basement, whispered codewords, and a girl calling his real name. What neither of them knows is that they were both part of a covert experiment known as Project Phoenix, designed to erase identities and rebuild human obedience from the ground up. Together, they uncover a trail of lies, altered files, and fractured lives along with a chilling truth: Adrian may have been programmed to forget what he did… and who he destroyed. Now hunted by the people who created him, stalked by a version of himself he doesn’t remember becoming, and drawn to a woman whose trust he doesn’t deserve, Adrian must face the darkest corners of his past before they both disappear into it. Because some memories don’t stay buried. Some were never meant to.

My Alpha mate Cain's childhood sweetheart Vivienne had returned from her overseas training in healing. She'd made a bet with the other healers that she could use the deadly wolfsbane to cure patients. Every senior healer told her it was absolutely impossible. But she ignored the warnings and injected a massive dose of wolfsbane extract straight into my mother Iris's body. My mother fell into a deep coma after her wolf was killed. My brother Ethan, enraged at the Moonlight Gathering, demanded a Trial by Blood from Vivienne, demanding her life. But Cain had Ethan imprisoned in the Silver Prison before the gathering. I was trembling with rage, wanting to tell everyone the truth at the gathering. But Cain stopped me. “When you go up on stage, tell everyone that what happened to your mother was an accident.” I froze, tears streaming down my face. I was his mate, after all. A flicker of guilt crossed Cain's eyes as he gently wiped away my tears. “Don't cry, baby,” his voice was low and gentle. “Vivian and I grew up together. She saved my life when we were little. She's a good person. She would never intentionally use Wolfsbane to harm your mother. It was an accident.” “You just need to admit it wasn't Vivian's fault,” Cain said, “and I'll get the best healers to treat your mother.” He paused. “Ethan will be released immediately too.” I closed my eyes. “Okay…” Since Vivienne was so important to you, then I would grant your wish. I turned and staged my death, leaving with my mother and brother. But the powerful Alpha broke down, searching the world for me and begging me to come back.

Avant la cérémonie du marquage, mon Alpha compagnon Anderson a annoncé devant l'ancien Autel que sa première amour, empoisonnée par le venin de loup, était la véritable Luna de la meute. Il a serré Léa dans ses bras, et son sourire est devenu plus doux sous la lumière de la lune : « Selon les traditions ancestrales, seule la femme que je marque devant tous les membres de la meute est la véritable Luna. Même si Iris est ma compagne marquée en privé, elle n'est que mon amante. » Sous les bénédictions des anciens de la meute, ils ont juré devant la Déesse Lunaire, se sont couronnés et se sont embrassés. Je n'ai rien dit en assistant à tout cela, car j'avais déjà pris un rendez-vous pour un avortement. J'ai aimé Anderson pendant douze ans, de mes dix-huit à mes trente ans. Mais dans son cœur, il n'y avait que ma demi-sœur Léa. Alors, j'ai décidé de le laisser partir. Après cela, je suis partie pour Béxaville, une île froide et isolée, laissant à Anderson le contrat de rupture, ainsi qu'un dernier cadeau d'adieu. Mais, je ne comprenais pas pourquoi, lui qui m'avait toujours ignorée, a été si bouleversé en voyant cela…

She died fat, broken, and unloved, but she came back ready to burn it all down. Catherine Vale has one memory seared into her soul from her past life: the feeling of her mother-in-law's hands draining the life from her body while her new husband pretended not to hear her screams. Reborn on her wedding day, Catherine knows that marrying Anderson Vale means death. So she does the unthinkable, she runs from the altar in her wedding dress and boards the honeymoon jet alone. Her destination is Las Vegas and her plan is to get drunk and forget everything. What she gets instead is waking up married to Davis McFanger, the most powerful hybrid alive and her runaway groom's father. Davis doesn't believe in coincidences, and he's convinced Catherine is another trap sent by his manipulative ex-wife to destroy him. But the mating bond doesn't lie, and neither does the heat that forces them together night after night, even when he can barely look at her come morning. Catherine is hiding secrets even she doesn't understand. The pills she's been taking for seven years to keep her stable might be poison designed to suppress her powers. Her so-called mental illness might be a lie fed to her by the same people who killed her and the power trying to claw its way out of her skin, burning her from the inside out might be exactly what they murdered her to steal. As her phoenix abilities violently awaken, Catherine faces an impossible choice: trust the cold, ruthless man who claims her desperately in the dark but refuses to acknowledge her in the light, or face her killers alone and risk dying a third time.

Suara ketukan pintu yang tiada henti berbunyi membuat seorang wanita dengan daster dan rambut acak-acakan itu terpaksa membukanya, namun saat iris coklat itu menangkap sosok lelaki dengan stelan jas hitam, dan tentu saja mata itu semakin membulat kala melihat lekuk wajah yang membuat ia kembali mengingat kejadian malam itu. Mlathi kembali menutup pintu dengan cepat, sebisa mungkin agar lelaki brengsek itu tidak bisa masuk. Namun, wanita dengan kondisi yang sudah mengenaskan itu ternyata kalah cepat. Eric yang tentu memiliki tenaga yang lebih besar, hingga bisa menahan pintu itu agar tidak tertutup. "Hey, aku hanya ingin berbicara padamu mengenai malam itu," sahut Eric sembari terus berusaha menahan pintu berwarna coklat yang telah mulai lapuk. "Tidak ada yang perlu dibicarakan! Aku hanya ingin kau pergi dan jangan ganggu hidupku!" teriak Mlathi terisak. "Tidak bisa! Aku tidak bisa tenang jika aku belum melihat keadaanmu!" ucap Eric keras kepala dan tidak menyerah sebelum ia berbicara empat mata dengan wanita itu. "Kau-" Mlathi menghentikan ucapannya saat ia merasa mual pada perutnya. Tanpa berfikir panjang lagi ia segera pergi ke kamar mandi dan tidak lagi peduli dengan keberadaan Eric. Eric sedikit terkejut ketika melihat apa yang terjadi di depannya, takut jika apa yang ia pikirkan itu terjadi. Dengan perasaan tidak menentu, lelaki dengan rahang tegas itu segera melangkahkan kakinya lebar untuk melihat kondisi wanita yang mampu membuat ia beberapa hari ini tidak bisa tidur dengan tenang. "Apa kau hamil?"

"Whether you like it or not! You need to abort the baby! I don't need your fucking mercy Iris! You don't have to project yourself as a victim!" Lucas's eyes were flares as he stared at me deadly.

I hardly hits him on his chest with my hands. I'm angry with him. He cheated on me. He made such a fool. He plays my heart. My eyes watered with tears as I hits him on his chest with my hands constantly. He wants to hurt him with all my might. I wants hurt with my hands to make him realize the truth. I couldn't help but hit him on his chest as I cried. What he did was painful. He thinks of me as a thing, that after he used and got everything from me, he just throws me away. My femininity meant nothing to him. He ruthlessly restrained my hands. My tears just fell down. I feels like my heart is being stabbed at this moment. I thought he was my happily ever after? But I was wrong! The man I adored was hurting me. He broke my heart after all. "Stop being a fool Iris. Nothing can blame but you. Because you wanted what happened to us. You are the only one that wants," His eyes widened at me with anger. His heart feels hatred for me. He ruthlessly choked me at my neck. I just looked up at him, catching my breathe. My tears are falling. "You need to abort the baby. You will do it to protect my identity Iris."
