MasukThird Person's POV "Why aren't you saying anything?" Adira asked.She stood up and walked over to him, her eyes dropping to his hands. His knuckles were bruised and raw. "Are you hurt?"Looking up, her gaze caught the dark stain of blood seeping through the sleeve of his shirt."Alessandro, you're bleeding," she said, reaching out to touch his arm.He winced slightly as her fingers made contact. Absorbed in thoughts of Adira all night, he hadn't even registered his own injuries.Adira carefully took his hand and guided him down onto the couch. "Stay here. I'll get the first aid kit," she said, quickly heading across the vast living room. "You need to take your shirt off," Adira said, opening the box. "Wait, let me do it."Before he could react, she leaned down toward the couch. She carefully unbuttoned his shirt, sliding the fabric off his arms with deliberate gentleness. It was the first time she had ever seen him like this, standing so close to him while he was half-naked.Her bre
Alessandro's POV Inside the hospital, the doctors and technicians were huddled together in the center of the room, shivering in fear. The moment I walked in, my Alpha presence slammed into them, forcing every one of them to their knees. They gasped and sobbed in fear in front of me. "P-Please, Alpha!" the head doctor choked out, his hands shaking violently as he pressed his forehead to the ground. "We... we were only—""Shut up," I commanded, my voice cold enough to freeze the blood in their veins.I walked over to the main terminal, pulled the hard drive containing Adira's original test results, and tossed it to Zale. He caught it, alongside the printed paper files on the desk, ensuring not a single record of her bloodline remained in the building.Once the files were secured, I glanced back at the trembling staff. "Zale. Are there any innocent patients in this wing?""None, Alpha," Zale replied grimly. "This entire floor was cleared ten minutes ago. Only these traitors are here
Third Person POVAlessandro’s chest heaved as his blazing golden eyes slowly shifted back to their natural dark hue. He looked down at Adira, whose hands were still trembling as she held tightly onto his arms, her eyes brimming with unshed tears. The suffocating aura in the air gradually dissipated, though his grip on her waist remained firm and protective."Fine," Alessandro growled in a low rumble. He didn't spare another glance at the battered figure on the floor. Turning Adira around, he escorted her out of the balcony, keeping her close to his side as they walked out of the cafe and went to the car.Back on the balcony, Xavier lay groaning against the shattered pillar, coughing up blood onto the floor. His knuckles were white, and his breath came in ragged, painful gasps from the sheer force of the Alpha's strike.His secretary rushed out onto the balcony, her face pale with terror. "Alpha Xavier!" She dropped to her knees, reaching out to support him. "Are you alright? Should I
June's POV It had been days since I last saw Xavier. He hadn't called me after that confrontation, nor was he willing to help me anymore. I was barely able to sleep or eat."Should I call Fred and ask if there's any way to stop that witch from chasing me?" Biting my nails, I walked over to the coffee table and picked up my phone. I dialled his number, but Fred didn't answer."Dammit! Whenever I actually need someone, they're nowhere to be found. But how did Adira find out everything? I was meticulous about every detail. That potion... she definitely drank it, right in front of my eyes," I mumbled, consumed by confusion, when my phone suddenly rang."Fred!""Yes, June? You haven't called me since that day. By the way, I spoke to Adira recently. Did you manage to see the witch?""Wait—you talked to Adira?!" I narrowed my eyes, suspicion instantly washing over me. "Why would you do that?""I was worried about you," Fred replied through the line. "I mentioned that you might be heading to
Alessandro’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
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
Adira’s POVI was stunned by the sudden slap, but not surprised, as it was not their first time doing something like that.I still remember getting slapped in my past life when I returned cheerfully after accepting Xavier’s proposal. But I was too ashamed to show my miserable face in front of the m
