LOGINThird Person's POV
After finishing her final glass of mulberry wine, Elena set the crystal glass down and suddenly felt the world tilt.
The earth seemed to be flipping upside down. The surrounding trees were performing a bizarre, swaying dance.
"Z..."
Elena rubbed her spinning head, her tongue already beginning to tie itself in knots.
"Why... why do I feel like this mountain is spinning in circles? Is it... is it an earthquake?!"
Lyra reacted faster t
Third Person's POVHe traced her lips with the tip of his tongue, a silent, seductive invitation for Elena to drop her guard and drown with him.Elena had never stood a chance against Zander's pheromones. Right now, her resolve was melting into nothing.In the flickering firelight, she closed her eyes, and a single tear escaped, rolling down her cheek.She couldn't keep fighting him—not when Lyra was screaming for him.At the exact moment her logic flatlined, she kissed him back, her response clumsy but desperate."Liana..."Zander felt her respond, and his whole body shuddered.A raspy, broken sound of pure joy escaped his throat.That Alpha scent—a mix of arctic cedar and smoke—exploded through the small cave, stripping Elena of her last bit of common sense.She threw her arms around his neck, pulling him closer, letting him taste her however he wanted."Liana... don't leave me... never leave me..."At first, Zander thought just holding her would be enough.But once he tasted her, o
Third Person's POVShe would never come back to him... she was gone for good.In his fever-ravaged mind, Zander couldn't tell if this was a dream or reality.He figured that seeing her here, in the middle of this wasteland, meant he was already dead.This had to be a hallucination—his final obsession with Liana manifesting as his soul flickered out.When he was sober, the more he liked her, the more he held back.He was so terrified of being a burden that even when his heart was bleeding, he didn't dare take a single step toward her after she pushed him away.But now... if this was a dream, he could throw away his upbringing. He could drop the heavy burden of being an Alpha.In this dream, he could hold her as tight as he wanted, strip away her disguises, and kiss her until he was satisfied.He was going to use every bit of strength he had left to satisfy the burning thirst in his soul."Liana... I missed you so much..."Elena's brain went totally blank.Before she could even process
Third Person's POV"Zander, look... I'm really not trying to be a creep here."Elena's fingers were beet-red from the cold, and she fumbled with the frozen buttons on his shirt. She kept up a low, nervous stream of chatter just to break the silence."Your clothes are soaked, and you're burning up. If you stay in these, you're just gonna get worse. I have to... I've gotta dry them out."Inside the cave, the firelight danced, orange shadows pushing back the dark.For the first time tonight, Elena could actually see him.Between the blood loss and the freezing cold, he looked a little less intimidating than usual—almost vulnerable.But being pale didn't make him look any less like a masterpiece. Without that aggressive edge, his face looked almost too perfect to be real.Still, trapped in a cave with hitmen on their trail was definitely not the time to be checking him out.Elena snapped out of it, pressed a hand to he
Third Person's POV"It's freezing out here—how is there a live rabbit behind these rocks?!""Who cares about a rabbit! Are you starving or something?! Focus! Let's go check that pine forest up ahead. It's thick over there and the scent is messy. Zander and that bitch are probably hiding in the brush!"As the chaotic footsteps gradually faded down another mountain trail, Elena finally felt her nerves slacken.She slid down the stone wall, collapsing onto the ground and letting out a long, shaky breath.With the massive rocks blocking the entrance, the air inside the cave quickly turned stale and thin.Elena felt a dizzy spell hit her, but she didn't dare push the stones away yet.These professional killers were paranoid by nature; she was terrified they were just faking a departure to stake out the area.If she let her scent leak out now, it was game over for both of them.Sure enough, just as the thought crossed he
Third Person's POVThe howling night wind carried the jagged, brutal curses of the hunters getting closer by the second.Each word felt like a blade scraping against Elena's raw nerves, making her eyelids twitch and a cold sweat soak through her shirt.This natural cave had plenty of space inside, but the entrance had eroded over the years, leaving only a narrow, jagged fissure barely wide enough for one person to squeeze through.Elena was already running on empty, her legs shaking like leaves.But she didn't dare slow down. She stayed hunched over, hauling Zander's dead weight deeper into the suffocating gloom of the cavern.She bit her lip until she tasted copper, using the sharp sting of pain to keep her consciousness from slipping.Grabbing Zander's frozen collar and bracing her feet against the rough stone walls, she dragged him inch by agonizing inch into the dark.Faintly, the wind whistled through the gaps, bringing th
Third Person's POVShe was terrified.She was so scared that even if Zander had managed to ditch the car, he might still end up dead from his injuries in this freezing river."Zander... where are you? Can you hear me?"Elena's voice was shot, but there was still no answer. Despair started to set in like a cold tide.Standing on the jagged rocks and staring into that pitch-black water, she actually thought about jumping in to find him.But then what?The river was massive, the current was brutal, and the underwater terrain was a death trap.She had no idea where he'd been swept to.Jumping in would just be suicide—she'd never find him."Ah—!"Just as she was hitting her breaking point, her foot caught on something massive.Already running on empty, she lost her balance and slammed down onto the rocky shore. Her palms were sliced open by the stones, blood stinging as it seeped out, but she
Elena's POVSeeing my silence, Jasper thought I was going to refuse.He spoke a little shyly, "We've actually auditioned a lot of voice actors during this period, even the most famous names in the industry.""But I wasn't satisfied with any of them. Their voices only had technique, no soul.""It wa
Elena's POVThe night wind carried the chill, sweeping across the screen.Selene's fiery red skirt fluttered in the breeze, like a she-wolf's courting plumage.The expression on her face was equally jarring—smug, brazen, and the proud arrogance of a victor.She was tightly nestled in Pheisar's embr
Elena's POV"You shouldn't have framed Elena—apologize to her.""Otherwise, don't expect another cent from me."She was mortified and choked out a humiliated apology, "I'm sorry."I replied flatly, "Excuse me? I can't hear you."She completely broke down sobbing. "I'm sorry! I shouldn't have framed
Elena's POV"Go up and rest early. Recording officially starts tomorrow."Jasper gave me a few instructions, then turned and drove away.Only now did I truly begin to believe that everything that happened today was real.The gloom of the past few days vanished. I hummed a tune as I stepped out of t
