Se connecterThird Person’s POV"Give me the locket, or I’ll find your brother and torture him until he bleeds to death," Natalie snarled, her long fingernails digging deeper into Adira’s hair, pulling her head back so hard her neck cramped.Adira’s breath hitched in her throat. Her blood ran cold. "My brother? How do you even know about him?""June was more than happy to spill all your secrets," Natalie sneered, her white eyes glowing with malice as she leaned in close. "She told me everything about him. She told me where he was and how much you care about him. So don't play dumb with me, Adira."A hot wave of rage rushed through Adira's veins, almost letting her forget all the pain tearing through her body. June. Why was it always her, betraying her, exposing her brother, and bringing this horrific nightmare right to her? June had used her again, throwing her brother into the danger zone just to save herself.‘Thankfully, she didn’t know that Wayne is in the academy now,’ she thought, but Adir
Third Person’s POVAdira wiped away her remaining tears and forced herself upright, her senses sharpening the moment she detected the distinct aura radiating from the stranger before her. She was a witch."What do you want?" Adira asked, stepping backward as suspicion flared in her mind. It was rare for a witch to cross paths with her like this, let alone initiate contact."Adira, where is the locket?" Natalie demanded with a dangerous edge in her voice."What locket?" Adira replied, her confusion genuine. She took another step back to put distance between them, but before she could turn to escape, Natalie raised her hand and began chanting under her breath in a low tone.Adira’s limbs bounded instantly. Her feet felt welded to the ground, her muscles refusing to obey her brain as the magic locked her completely in place.Natalie stepped closer, a cold smirk playing on her lips. Waving her hand slowly across Adira's eyes, a haze covered Adira's vision, dulling her consciousness."Foll
Alessandro’s POVI stood frozen in the hallway. The silence after she slammed the door felt deafening.In my hand, the sharp edges of the diamond butterfly necklace dug into my palm. She had shoved it at me so hard that her hands were shaking, her words still echoing in my head like a slap to the face.Liar. Cheater.A dry, bitter laugh escaped my throat.For months, I had been so careful with her. I held back, kept my distance, and tried so hard not to scare her. I wanted her to feel safe. I wanted her to trust me. And in under five minutes, she decided I was a scumbag based on a single word from Marie."Alessandro..." Marie’s voice broke the quiet as she took a cautious step toward me. "I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to make a mess. I thought she knew—""Get out," I said, my voice dead cold."What?""Get out of my house, Marie," I repeated, looking straight at her. "And don't ever use that key code to come in here uninvited again."Marie flinched at my tone. She opened her mouth to arg
Adira’s POV "For me? Why?" I frowned, my eyebrows drawing together as I looked between him and the sparkling pendant."I wanted to share some good news with Alessandro," Marie’s voice suddenly chimed in with an overly sweet voice, as she stepped closer into our space."Good news?"My heart began to drum wildly against my ribs, a cold knot of anxiety tightening in my chest. What on earth did she mean by that? I desperately tried to rationalise the situation and push down the worst-case scenarios flooding my mind, but the fear lingering in my gut refused to quiet down."Well, I thought I would share this news when Alessandro was right beside me, but I just can't keep it in any longer. I am pregnant," Marie declared, gently resting a manicured hand over her belly, a radiant smile on her face. "I am so happy that I will soon be a mother."The ground beneath my feet seemed to give way entirely, leaving me suspended in a cold, suffocating void.‘Alessandro had been seeing Marie all this ti
Adira’s POVI turned around slowly, thinking it would be for Marie, yet he was making me wear it. ‘Is it even okay?’ I thought, my heart racing as I felt his warm fingers gently sweep my hair over one shoulder. The cool metal of the platinum chain rested against my collarbone, followed by the light touch of his fingers as he fastened the clasp behind my neck.I looked down at the delicate diamond butterfly resting against my skin, my brain completely short-circuiting.“Is this... for Marie?” The question slipped past my lips before I could stop myself.Alessandro paused. His hands stayed on my shoulders as he leaned down, his face just inches from mine. He had a smile on his lips, but his dark eyes were dead serious. It’s for you,” he said, his voice low and smooth. “And if you mention Marie one more time today, Adira, I’ll find a much better way to keep your mouth shut.”My jaw dropped. My mind went completely blank.For me?I stared at him with wide eyes, waiting for him to laugh
Adira’s POVFor the past few days, a cold, suffocating tension hung heavily in the air between us. The official investigation into the massive hospital fire was still underway, but the authorities hadn't turned up a single lead on what triggered the blaze in such a secure, high-tech facility. Through all the silence and unanswered questions, Xavier’s bitter accusations kept echoing in my mind—his relentless claims that Alessandro was the one who burned the building to the ground.Desperate for clear answers, I had gone to a private hospital on Mason’s recommendation to get my blood tested. The official results had finally arrived.The report confirmed I was indeed an Omega, but contrary to what I had spent years believing, I wasn't wolfless. The doctor explained that my wolf was simply dormant and unable to awaken."Is there a specific reason why she can't awaken?" I asked, staring down at the medical file in my hands."Yes, there usually is," the doctor replied, resting his hands on
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
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
