Once Betrayed Now Untouchable Chapter 80
Karina's POV I shot up from my seat, grabbing for the drink with a practiced smile. Adrian has a cold and can't drink. I'll take it for him, just. Just as the glass touched my lips, a hand shot out and stopped me. That won't be necessary, Adrian said. Sit down. His tone was casual, but there was a protective edge to it that made my heart give a little flutter. Adrian set the glass back on the table. And the private dining room fell utterly silent. Across from us, Edward's grip on his own glass tightened so hard I was half convinced it would shatter. His knuckles went white, his jaw clenched, and for a second, he looked like he wanted nothing more than to destroy the crystal in his hand. Around the table. The reactions were mixed. Some people exchanged knowing looks. Others frowned, and a few just became intensely interested in their plates. Pretending not to notice the sudden tension. I sank back into my chair, a little stunned by Adrian's move. I wasn't sure what his game wa

Karina's P O V Caleb, the beta, looked a little sheepish as he wrapped up the tour of my new duties. You won't need to clean, of course, he said, we just need to make coffee, get his suits steamed, and sometimes wake him up. I held up a hand, my professional smile instantly vanishing. Wait, wake him up. How much of his personal life am I supposed to be involved in? Alpha Adrian has a habit of taking afternoon naps. Caleb explained, as if that cleared everything up. I took a beat, choosing my words carefully. Caleb, let's get our role straight here. You're Adrian's assistant. I'm his secretary. It makes sense for me to handle company business while you manage his personal affairs. You're his trusted beta. After all, I can make coffee at the office, but waking him up feels a little too personal. That sounds like your job. I couldn't stop myself from adding, since you're already used to it. He looked seriously uncomfortable. Oh, we don't need to get that specific about our dutie

Third person P O V Alpha Victor saw the worry etched on his wife's face the moment he found her. Let's talk, he said. His voice low as he guided Isabella into the garden behind their house. Rested a hand on her waist, a simple touch that. Even after all these years, still made her smile. If Adrian really does like Karina, he asked gently. Could you accept her? I'm not a hypocrite, she replied, her voice, finally studying. Another Werewolf stayed outside the pack. I'm the first to say it's their business, but this is our son. He's the future alpha of the Silver Peak Pack. It's different. Normally, Isabella didn't meddle in Adrian's love life, as long as the girl was kind and he genuinely cared for her. She wouldn't have a complaint in the world. But deep down, she had always pictured him with someone from within the pack, a she-wolf, who understood their laws, their traditions. Their legacy. Victor's lips curved into a knowing smile. Didn't. She once tell me you'd be happy a

Karina's POV The smile froze on my face, a prickle of dread crawling up my scalp, complete and utter despair washed over me.I was doomed. One look at his reaction, and the dark circles under his eyes that screamed no sleep, told me everything I needed to know.He'd seen my message. I couldn't meet his gaze, dropping my eyes as I cleared my throat awkwardly.I slept okay, mostly because I had some wine last night.My laugh sounded hollow, even to my own ears. I was really out of it. Seeing double, you know.Adrian's expression turned to ice, the faint hint of a smile he had been wearing, vanishing completely. A strange light gleamed in his eyes as he spoke.Alcohol isn't an excuse, really, I insisted, desperately searching for the right words.When I drink, my vision gets terrible, and my fingers completely lose control. It's like they're possessed.He let out a scornful snort. Keep making excuses.I fell silent, mortified. My expression turned earnest as I tried again, practically b

Karina's POV I was still standing in the hallway, my head spinning from our conversation.So his apology was for how he'd snapped at me in his bedroom. The cold, demanding alpha had suddenly grown a conscience, unlikely.But it was his last few words that had me stumped. I kept replaying them in my head, trying to dissect every syllable.Then it clicked. He wasn't angry about what I was doing, but how I was doing it. He was frustrated that I'd hesitated to come into his room.That his own secretary was getting tangled up in useless worries.With that, everything else fell into place. He was just making it clear there would never be anything between us, and that he wouldn't let any rumors start.Heat flooded my cheeks. Of course, that's what he meant.I understand. I'd said, nodding, you're right. If you haven't done anything wrong, you don't have to hide. I'll be more professional from now on.
Once Betrayed Now Untouchable Chapter 75
Karina's P O V Alpha Adrian was perfectly still. His deep amber eyes, studying me with an intensity that made my skin prickle. I couldn't hold his gaze. Every time our eyes met, I'd quickly look away, my attention snagging on the elegant line of his collarbone, visible through the V of his silk robe. It was a total mismatch. He was watching my face, but I was staring at his chest. A second stretched on in the quiet room, and he still hadn't made a move to take off his robe. With every passing moment, my anxiety ratcheted up another notch. Surely he didn't expect me to. I couldn't stand the tension a second longer. My gaze flickered up to his, and the words just tumbled out. I'll help you undress, for heaven's sake. It was just changing bandages. Better to get it over with quickly than to drag out this agonizing awkwardness. Without waiting for a response, I leaned forward, m
