LOGINAlessandro'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
Alessandro's POV All this time, I had been plagued by dreams of a woman weeping and begging for my forgiveness. But for the very first time, a vision hit me while I was wide awake.In a sudden flash of my vision, I saw Adira standing before a mirror, dressing up with a radiant smile as she gazed fondly at Xavier. Then, in the next second, the scene fractured. She was on her knees, screaming in agony, begging him not to kill her. The fear in her eyes felt so vivid, so visceral, that it was as if I were standing right there in that place with them. It felt far too real to be a mere delusion.The intensity of the vision rendered me completely deaf to the world around me, including Adira, who had been trying to get my attention while holding a thick folder."Sir, where are you lost? I've been calling your name for two minutes," Adira said, her voice finally breaking through my head as she placed the document on my desk. "I've finalized the proposal. Please review it, and let me know if y
Third Person POVAdira arrived at the office a little late after sending her brother to the academy. She was not ready to part with him yet, but he had to live his own life.“Look at you,” Mason’s sarcastic voice brought her back from her thoughts. He was leaning against the edge of her desk, arms crossed. “How could you do that to our alpha?”Adira stayed silent. She knew what he was talking about. She didn’t even bother looking at him; she knew he wouldn’t stop nagging her anyway.“What dark potion have you taken for the alpha to call the high priestess herself?” Mason pressed as he stepped closer. “She even had a massive backlash while healing you. You had quite a dark power roaming within your veins.”Adira was shocked to hear that the high priestess was involved. She was in a hurry and was completely focused on finding out what June was planning, and forgot to ask about who helped her regain her senses.She kept her face totally blank, hiding the sudden surge of panic in her ches
Third Person's POV"Are we really going to visit Vanguard Academy?" Wayne asked, his eyes glinting with pure joy."Yes. You are going to get admitted there," Adira stated, gently straightening the bowtie on his collar. "That academy will shape you into a strong, honorable wolf, Wayne. You're going to make our parents so proud, and me, too."As the words left her lips, she felt an overwhelming joy. In this second chance at life, Wayne would finally get to grow up normally, surrounded by friends and learning at his own pace, just as she had always dreamed he would. "I'm so excited to start this new journey, sis. Of course, I'll make you, Mama and Daddy proud," Wayne said, wrapping his arms around her waist in a tight hug.They stayed like that for a quiet moment before turning to head downstairs together.The moment Alessandro stepped into view, Adira found herself momentarily stunned by his handsomeness. Dressed flawlessly, he carried himself with a grace that left no doubt that he b
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
