LOGINAlessandro’s POVI wanted to reach the cafe as soon as possible, as I couldn’t wait to see Adira's reddened face and the way she would react to me after what happened.“It’s interesting to see that flustered look on her face,” I couldn’t help but mutter to myself, a smirk tugging at my lips as I remembered last night while driving down the highway.If I hadn't controlled myself last night, things would have gone way too far between us, and we wouldn't even be looking at each other today.“No!” I shook my head, clearing all those thoughts from my mind. Tapping the steering wheel control, I used the car's hands-free system to call Zale.“Good day, Alpha,” Zale greeted me as the call connected through the speakers. “What can I do for you today?”Even through the line, I could hear the subtle smirk in his voice. Somehow, I felt as if he were teasing me about last night's incident."Cut the sly tone, Zale," I growled, keeping my eyes fixed on the road ahead. "Did you manage to get the file
Adira's POV Last night I did something so awful to Alessandro that I was now terrified to face him and utterly embarrassed. What must he be thinking of me? That I tried to take advantage of him? I was never that kind of woman, but my body had completely spiraled out of my control.The strange heat consuming me only eased when he touched me. I shook my head violently, horrified to realize I was thinking like a typical omega.Pressing my palms over my eyes, I cussed at myself under my breath. My heart almost leapt into my throat when a sudden knock echoed at the door, followed by his voice."Adira, it's time for me to go to the office."I glanced at the clock, my eyes widening as I realized I was already late. Before I could scramble out of bed, Alessandro spoke again from the other side of the door. "Take a day off and get yourself checked at the hospital today."I stayed silent, listening intently as the sound of his footsteps gradually faded down the hall. My hearing was noticeably
Third Person POV“I… I don’t know… I feel so hot,” Adira said, her voice raspy as she tried to pull herself closer to Alessandro."Alessandro... please," she whimpered, not even knowing what she was asking for. The feel of his skin was the only thing stopping the fire burning inside her."Dammit, Adira, stop moving," he gritted out, his jaw tight. He was trying so hard not to push her away too hard or hurt her, but her sweet scent was driving his wolf crazy.Before she completely lost her mind, Alessandro wrapped his arm around her waist and lifted her up. He carried her straight to the nearest bathroom. She felt like a furnace in his arms, and every time her hands grabbed his collar, his head spun.He kicked the bathroom door open, brought her inside, and set her down in the shower. Keeping a firm hand on her shoulder so she wouldn't fall, he reached over and turned the tap all the way to cold.A wave of freezing water blasted down, soaking them both.Adira gasped loudly as the ice-c
Alessandro's POV "You're not supposed to roam around my office like this," I scolded Marie."It wasn't intentional," she replied.I ignored her completely and walked out of my office. Through the open door of her cabin, my eyes immediately fell upon Adira. She was typing away furiously on her keyboard, the intense concentration on her face bringing a faint smirk to my lips. But her reaction baffled me. Why was she glaring at me, acting as if my presence, or Marie's, bothered her so much?Was she jealous?I dismissed the thought just as quickly. No. She had been working here for quite some time now, and Adira had never once displayed jealousy. She didn't even feel the mate bond the way I did. I went ahead to meet the company's director before heading out for lunch with him. The rest of the day passed in a blur of meetings, and I finally returned home in the evening. As I stepped out of the private elevator, I found Adira entering through the front door.She shot another sharp gl
Adira’s POV"Pull yourself together, Adira," I whispered, taking a deep breath before walking through the glass doors.I was almost an hour late to the office today. I missed Wayne, so I went to Vanguard Academy to see him, but I lingered outside the campus gates using my brother as an excuse just to avoid running into Alessandro, as inhaling the same air as him was driving me insane. It was getting harder and harder to be around him; every time he got close, I felt like I was losing control over my own body. My skin would heat up, and my instincts screamed at me to touch him, to hold onto him and never let go.But I couldn't let anything distract me. I had to get my revenge first."Get a grip," I muttered, patting my cheeks as I finally headed toward Alessandro's office to deliver his morning files.I knocked twice, but when no one answered, I slowly pushed the door open and was completely frozen by the sight in front of me.A woman was coming straight out of Alessandro's private l
Third Person's POV The meeting with Enrico Mancini went well. Alessandro excused himself as his phone rang for the second time.He stopped at an open balcony overlooking the courtyard and answered the call from his Gamma."Yes, Zale?" Alessandro brought the phone to his ear."Alpha, I looked into the boutique you asked me to. Xavier did book an appointment for his future wedding with Adira, but he and Adira never visited the place. Adira never tried on any dresses there.""Are you sure, Zale?" Alessandro pressed, his jaw tightening. The vision had clearly shown Adira smiling in a magnificent wedding dress."Yes, Alpha. I checked all the entries and even the security footage from the last six months. There is nothing that shows Adira and Xavier ever came here. Moreover, they broke up three months ago, before they could even make it to that appointment. I personally verified the date with the boutique staff," Zale explained. Alessandro turned quiet. He was unable to understand his own
Adira's POV"Ahh!"I fell on the floor, blinded by the lights of the car. It was my mistake to run without looking. It was suffocating for me to even stand in front of Xavier, the man who killed me."Miss, are you alright?" the panicked driver asked me.I looked at the fresh bruise that appeared on
Adira's POV The radiant white light suddenly blurred my vision. I felt something heavy stuck in my head when I heard a familiar voice. “Will you marry me, Adira?” ‘What's happening? Where am I?’ I thought as I looked toward the source of the voice.It was Xavier.He was on his knees with a tiny
Adira’s POVThe driver didn’t answer.His hands tightened on the steering wheel.“Answer me!” My voice cracked as panic started crawling up my spine. “This isn’t the way!”The speed of the car increased, and the engine roared louder.“Stop the car!” I screamed, grabbing the handle and trying to pul
Adira’s POVI stared at my reflection in the mirror for a little longer as the girl looking back at me didn’t feel real.Dressed in a white wedding gown that hugged my body perfectly before flowing down in soft layers around my feet, I looked… so pretty.I swallowed.Was that really me?I’d always
