LOGIN3rd Person's POV Adira woke up with a strange heaviness pressing against her temples, her eyes fluttering open to adjust to the dim lighting. She pushed herself up on the sofa, her hands trembling as she surveyed the grand living room around her. The grand decor was all too familiar.She was back at Alessandro’s estate.Alessandro sat directly across from her, his posture rigid, while Mason stood off to the side with a tense expression."Why am I here?" Adira asked, her voice raspy as she rubbed her eyes to clear her blurred vision. "I was at the party earlier. Then... you showed up..."She pressed her palm against her throbbing forehead, trying to string together the scattered memories of the evening. Before she could make sense of anything, a calm, feminine voice cut through the silence."You were under the effect of a compulsion potion, Adira."Adira turned her head toward the sound. A woman in her late twenties walked into view, holding out a glass of clear water. "Drink this."A
Alessandro's POV The moment Adira's scent faded from the air, I noticed her slipping out of the hall. I couldn't comprehend why she was reacting this way, but panic quickly took root.Excusing myself, I rushed out after her, only to find the entrance empty. She had vanished. Deep in my chest, my wolf growled in frustration as I scanned the surroundings, desperate to catch a trace of her presence."Sir, would you like to return? Shall I bring the limousine to the front?" my driver asked, catching up with me."No," I cut him off, running ahead to track her down.That was when I caught sight of her hailing a white taxi. Before I could sprint over to block the vehicle, it pulled away into the night. I considered shifting into my wolf to hunt her down, but with the heavy traffic and scattered pedestrians, taking my wolf form was impossible without causing chaos."Speed up," I instructed the driver, my heart hammering against my ribs.An unexplainable dread began to claw at my chest. A dar
Third-Person POVAlessandro expected Adira to play along. However, to Alessandro’s shock, Adira was not looking at him anymore. Rather, her eyes were darting between him and Xavier, which made his heart squeeze in an unidentified pain.A sudden, ugly jealousy flared up in his chest. Was she still thinking about him? Did she still hold onto feelings for that pathetic man?Inside his mind, his wolf growled in frustration. ‘Let’s just kill that bastard right now and claim her,’ his wolf snapped, baring its teeth.‘Shut up,’ Alessandro shot back, though his jaw clenched tightly to suppress rising anger. He forced his eyes to stay fixed on Adira, his grip around her waist tightening just enough to pull her attention right back to him, refusing to let her look at Xavier for even a second longer.Adira, however, wasn't ready to pull her eyes away from Xavier even though she desperately wished to.Why on earth is Alpha Alessandro here acting like my overprotective boyfriend? she thought, her
While walking towards the double door exit, Adira thought, ‘Why did June take my locket? She thinks I didn't realise she was taking it off my neck. Did she know the significance of the locket?’ A frown appeared on her forehead, making her wonder if June knew the power the locket held.‘But how could she know about it?’ Just as she descended the few stairs, a limousine pulled up right in front of the entrance. Its bright headlights blinded her, making her quickly shield her eyes with her free hand.When the headlights turned off, Adira lowered her hand only to find Alessandro stepping out of it. “Why is he here?” Adira muttered in confusion. ‘Was he invited here too?’ she thought as panic suddenly flared up in her chest. She instinctively wanted to step back and hide herself. After all, she hadn't told him about coming to this party. However, running from his sight was impossible and when she tried she almost stumbled. Alessandro caught her at the right time, who was flabbergaste
Adira's POV I didn't refrain from hurling the truth back at them in front of everyone. This gathering felt far less like a bachelorette celebration and more like a well-planned plot to humiliate me."Tell me, Kiara, did you actually invite me here because you're getting married, or simply to mock me, expecting I'd burst into tears just because there isn't a man standing by my side? Well, if my man were to walk through those doors right now, every single one of you would be green with envy."I had no idea why those words escaped my mouth, but I felt a need to remind these snakes that I was leagues above them."Gosh, we were only pulling your leg. Why are you creating such a massive scene out of nothing?" Kiara chuckled, trying to brush it off with an airy laugh.I rolled my eyes at her blatant hypocrisy. Excusing myself from the group, I walked away, deciding it was far better to wait for Mason than to waste another second on any of them. But where did he even get stuck? Mason wasn't
As Adira walked deeper into the hall, the atmosphere shifted. The hushed gasps quickly dissolved into judgmental giggles as the ex-bullies in the room realized who had just walked in.And, just as Adira had predicted, she was entirely alone.Mason was nowhere in sight, who God knows where got stuck. She knew what she had walked into but, going back was not an option. So, she simply took a glass of juice and pretended to just exist. But some people couldn’t even digest that.Seeing her walk in without a plus-one, Kiara smirked, nudging a couple of her high-society friends. It didn't take long before a small group surrounded Adira, eager to put the "wolfless omega" back in her place."Well, well, look who actually showed up," Kiara purred, stepping forward with her arms crossed, eyeing Adira’s magenta dress with blatant envy. "I'm surprised you had the audacity to come, Adira. And alone? Where is your date? Or could you not even afford to hire a fake one for the night?"The women aroun
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
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
