Alessandro’s POV

I 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 w

  • Her Revenge, Her Fated Alpha   A Nightmare?

    3rd Person's POV “What?” Adira asked, taken aback by his confession.The yacht rocked gently on the open sea as the afternoon sun streamed through the cabin windows. Adira held her glass, looking right into Alessandro’s intense eyes.She took a deep breath, pushing away the terrible memories of her past. Looking at the rolling waves, she felt safe in his presence; the fear that had gripped her earlier was fading. Looking out at the ocean, she wasn't afraid anymore. She felt completely calm and composed.His words hung in the warm air between them, wiping away her last doubts."I never cared about money in the first place," Adira said softly, a genuine smile on her face. "I just saw you."Alessandro’s eyes softened. He set his glass down on the small table and took hers, setting it aside too. He reached out and wrapped both of her hands in his broad, warm palms."I know," he murmured, his voice steady over the engine's hum. "And that's why you're here with me."He pulled her closer, h

  • Her Revenge, Her Fated Alpha   I Never Knew You Were So Warm

    Adira's POVI lay back on the mattress in my room, staring up at the ceiling as a sudden realization hit me.'We are completely alone in this house. And we had our first kiss earlier.'My fingers rose slowly, my fingertips tracing my bottom lip where the warmth and pressure of his mouth still seemed to linger. The way he had held me, the intensity in his eyes... he had kissed me as if he wanted to devour me whole."What am I even thinking?" I groaned, slamming both hands over my face as my cheeks started getting warm. I sat up straight on the edge of the bed and shook my head, trying to force my erratic thoughts into order. "I'm not a teenager anymore. Why am I reacting like this?"Pressing my palm flat against my chest, I could feel my heart pounding wildly against my ribs, refusing to slow down no matter how much I tried to reason with myself. "Adira, don't you want to go to the beach?" Alessandro's voice called out from behind the bedroom door.I scrambled off the bed and rushed

  • Her Revenge, Her Fated Alpha   The Beach House

    Adira’s POVHis words made my heart jump. I stood there staring at him, my cheeks burning, unable to say anything back because I was just so overwhelmed."Go pack your things," Alessandro said, his thumb brushing my cheek one last time. "We leave in an hour."I practically ran up the spiral stairs to my room, my hands trembling as I pulled out a small suitcase from the closet. My head was spinning. Just yesterday, I was tied to a chair in an unknown place, terrified for my life. Now, I was going on a vacation with the Supreme Alpha, who had just kissed me and asked me to be his girlfriend.I packed simple clothes, jeans, a few t-shirts, a light jacket, and my basic things. As I zipped the bag shut, I took a deep breath, thinking about Wayne. A small wave of guilt hit me because I was going on a trip while he couldn’t go. But right now, I just wanted to be with Alessandro and enjoy this time with him.I grabbed my duffle bag and went back downstairs. Alessandro was already waiting by

  • Her Revenge, Her Fated Alpha   No One Managed To Win My Heart

    Adira's POV I had never been anywhere before. But that wasn't the point. The question was why Alessandro wanted to go on a trip with me in the first place. We weren't even officially together."You've never taken a break before," I said, trying to sound reasonable. "I know you have dozens of meetings scheduled. A vacation lasts for days, Alessandro, and I'm not even your family."Although he had cleared up his true feelings for me yesterday, I was still terrified inside. I worried that despite everything, he might never actually ask me to be his girlfriend."Yeah, well, I never had a woman in my life before either," Alessandro replied smoothly.My breath hitched at his words. Did he really consider me his woman now?"And I'm sorry for not asking you this sooner," Alessandro added, pulling out a chair and taking a seat right across from me. He looked directly into my eyes. "I want you to date me, Adira."I forgot how to breathe for a full second. Was I dreaming? Was this powerful, ove

  • Her Revenge, Her Fated Alpha   A Vacation?

    Alessandro didn't wait for her to answer. The mere thought of losing her to a useless piece of metal made his blood boil, but the fragile state of her body made him force back his fury. He released her jaw and took a deep breath."Stay here," he ordered.Alessandro went into the bathroom and brought back a first-aid kit. He sat next to her on the bed, opening the box to grab some spray and bandages."Let me see," he whispered softly, leaning in close.He gently lifted her chin to check her split lip and bruised jaw. He expected to see horrible dark marks from all the beating she had gone through, but he stopped in confusion. The faint red mark from the slap was still there, but they were fading slowly.He took her wrists, pushing back her sleeves to check the rope burns. The skin was bruised, but it wasn't torn to the bone the way it should have been after being bound so tightly against dark magic.She should be in critical condition, Alessandro thought, his sharp Alpha instincts inst

  • Her Revenge, Her Fated Alpha   What Locket?

    Adira's POVAlessandro brought me home in his car. During the entire ride, he kept asking if I was fine. For the first time, I saw him genuinely worried about me.The moment he stopped the car in the private parking lot inside the building, he stepped out, opened my door, and scooped me up into his arms, carrying me bridal style."I–I can walk," I protested faintly."Stay quiet," he commanded, shutting me up instantly. Within seconds, we were inside the private elevator that led straight to his penthouse.As we reached the front entrance, he leaned in closer. "The code is my late mother's birthday. Keep this in mind—0576."I stared at him, unable to believe he had just shared something so deeply personal with me. I kept my hands tightly wrapped around his neck, and shortly, we were inside the penthouse.Alessandro led me straight into his master bedroom instead of taking me up to my room on the floor above."This isn't my room," I complained the moment he lowered me onto the soft matt
