Chapter 89

When I push. it open, the scene inside stopped me cold. Adrian stood rigid with fury.

And on the floor. A young woman in a sheer white nightgown was sprawled out and crying. Her hair was a mess, and she looked completely lost.

I recognized her immediately. It was Tessa, one of the girls who'd been with Julian earlier. Moving on instinct, I grabbed a towel from his bathroom and draped it over her shoulders.

How did you get in here? I demanded. Tessa just kept sobbing, refusing to answ

  • Once Betrayed Now Untouchable    Chapter 140

    Karina's POV I was not prepared for the sharp turn. Jack, took on the mountain road, my whole body lurched sideways, and my hands flew out, grasping for. Anything to stop myself. An arm shot Out and caught my waist with practiced ease. Alpha Adrian. Fingers curled inward, the deliberate pressure, not just stopping my fall, but pulling me face-first into the solid wall of his chest. My other hand, which had been scrambling for the feedback, landed high on his thigh, a sudden warmth against my palm, sending a shock straight through me. I was pressed flush against his torso, my free hand, desperately clutching the fabric of his shirt. My breath hitched. The contrast of my body against the unyielding strength of his sent a jolt through me like I grabbed a live wire. Internally, I was screaming like I'd been thrown into a furnace. Outwardly, I was frozen, solid, like I'd stared Medusa right in the eye. The second I registered exactly where my hand was, my entire body went rigid.

    Karina's POV. I literally choked on my soup. He handed me a napkin, then leaned in, without warning, and gently wiped the corner of my mouth. His thumb brushed against my lower lip, sending a spark straight through me. His voice dropped low and intimate. Some things once offered can't be taken back. Karina, if you're not prepared for what comes next, you shouldn't ask for them in the first place. My brain short-circuited. Somehow I managed to croak. And what if I already have? His eyes met mine. Calm, dangerous. Then I will come to collect, no matter where you run. My stomach did a complete five-star somersault. I stared at my bowl like it was a life raft. This chowder was safe, warm, predictable. The man across from me was temptation and long-term consequences. Alpha Adrian, of course, wasn't finished with me. Why do you act so panicked at the thought of seeing things through? He asked. A smirk playing on his lips. He was clearly enjoying watching me squirm. Won't you even

    Karina's POV You're right about one thing. I said, pressing my advantage. I would never be with a mated wolf. So if you're any kind of alpha, you'll go take. Care of your mate in the hospital, otherwise I have zero respect for you. Karina, do you have to be so cruel? he asked. His voice strained. I swear, on the Moon Goddess herself, I said, but I'm just telling it like it is. For a second, Edward just looked lost, like he had no idea how to handle my defiance. I kept fighting, kicking, hitting, pinching, stopping just short of biting him. My nails left angry red scratches across the back of his hand. God, when you're this exhausted and helpless, murder starts to feel like a pretty reasonable option. He gave up trying to talk and just started pulling me toward the door. Let's go get breakfast. Not hungry. I protested, digging my heels in. He ignored me, dragging me out into the hallway, not wanting to cause a scene. I stopped yelling and just struggled silently against his grip

    Karina POV A long, soul-crushing silence filled the room. Camille's excitement evaporated, replaced by the look of someone who just realized their winning lottery ticket was for last week's.You asked Alpha Adrian Wolf, alpha of the Silver Peak Pack, if his services came with a price tag?Technically, he mentioned it first. I offered weekly cringing under her glare. She narrowed her eyes.Okay. What are we talking, a pretty woman situation here? Or was this like some kind of messed-up dare?I cringed so hard my spine might have shortened. He.Said, if we wanted to keep going, it would cost me. Camille rolled her eyes so hard I thought she might pull a muscle, grabbing my shoulders. She gave me a gentle shake.Karina, for my own sanity, please tell me you're 100% sure. That's what he said.I tried to recall the moment through the fog of lust and liquor.Pretty sure, maybe I only had, like, half a shot. She.Sniffed the air around me and groaned. Girl, you cannot negotiate internation

    Adrian's POV I led Karina out from behind the tree, taking a different path, back toward the lake. My wolf, Lucas, had been clawing at the inside of my chest for weeks. He was certain of what I already suspected: this human woman was meant to be ours. We boarded a small tour boat docked at the water's edge. The second we were on board, Karina collapsed onto a cushioned bench. Her eyes staring blankly into the distance. That one gulp of whiskey was clearly hitting her harder than she'd ever admit. How do you like it out here? I asked, moving closer, drawn to her like a moth to a flame. The moment I stepped toward her, she tensed. I could hear her heart start to hammer. She edged away, her gaze flickering between the boats, floating curtains and the dark surface of the lake. I feel like Nancy's going to pop up. Any second I stare. Did her. And just like that, any hint of romance was torpedoed. Alpha, don't you think this is kind of creepy? She went on totally clueless. And th

    Karina's POV. At the Lakeside Park Walkway. See, Caleb just sent this. Told you I was right. Alpha Adrian said, showing me his phone, looking at the picture of Alpha Edward, standing in the hotel hallway, hands on his hips, and a thunderous look on his face. I was completely speechless. Seriously, what was wrong with him? Shouldn't he be at the hospital? He was my ex-husband. What right did he have to inject himself into my life like this? I awkwardly handed the phone back. I'm sorry for dragging you into this mess. Alpha Adrian just chuckled. It's fine. I did say, if you lost, you'd have to take a walk with me. I nodded quickly. Yes, walking is nice. Very nice. After a few minutes of strolling in silence, I said brightly, Alpha, are you tired? There's a bench right here. You should sit. And look, a convenience store. I'll go get you some water. Before he could even answer, I was already jogging away inside the store. I started grabbing random drinks, snacks, and tissues
