FAZER LOGINAdira’s POVI walked into the house and smelled food cooking. I took a deep breath.Three years have gone by since everything changed. Ben and Lilian adopted Luca and me, making us part of their family. I loved them so much. I finally had a new family, and I couldn’t be happier. Luca, my son with Magnus, was a little troublemaker like his dad. Lilian never cut his hair, so it was long and black.I called into the house, "Luca? Lilian?""Mama!" he shouted, running to me. He hugged my leg, and I picked him up.I kissed him, and he giggled. "What did you do today?""Adira, he’s a good boy," Lilian said, winking at him. I covered my mouth when I saw the wall covered in crayon drawings. "Luca, baby, we have paper to draw on," I said, trying not to laugh. I sat next to the wall. "Come here, tell me what you draw?My mommy, grandma, grandpa, me, and daddy.Hearing the word "daddy" hurt. My chest tightened, and for a moment I could barely breathe. Magnus’s face flashed in my mind—his crooked
Adira’s POVI was in pain. Where was Magnus? I wanted him to find me, hold me, and be happy about our baby.In my dreams, his dad would keep him away. Every night, I cried to sleep, and every morning I woke up alone, my heart breaking all over again.I was almost ready to give birth, and Ben and Lilian were so kind to me. Their story is heartbreaking. I cried and prayed they would find peace. Lilian told me their daughter died, but she still pretends to have hope. I know it isn’t true.The phone rang. "Adira, dear, how are you feeling?"I stood up, and my water broke. I screamed. "Help me," I managed to say.I heard her talking quickly before she hung up. We lived in the same building, so Ben rushed in. I had given them a key for emergencies.He carried me downstairs while I screamed in pain. Lilian followed behind, speaking gently to me."Adira, breathe. You should know better after two more years—you’re a doctor," Lilian said.I laughed between breaths, thinking about those exact tw
Adira’s POVI woke up in a room with my head throbbing. The air smelled sharply of old things. Dust floated in the light from a narrow window. I pushed myself up, my muscles aching, the blanket rough against my skin. Muffled noises, like heavy footsteps and distant clattering, made the silence feel even heavier. My heart pounded as I tried to figure out where I was. The door creaked open, making me jump. A man walked in with heavy steps, and I shrank back."Adira," he said as he handed me the phone. "Listen." I took it from him and put it to my ear.Hello Adira, Mr. Unds' voice came through. Here is the deal: Stay the fuck away from my son. You think you know what love is, but you have no idea what kind of trouble you could bring down on him and my family. Things are going on you can't possibly understand, and I will do whatever it takes to protect my son and our name, even if it means keeping you away from him for good. Step a foot on Finnish soil, and you’re dead. I hope I made myse
Unds’s POVIs everything ready? I asked.Yes, sir, it's a go. The apartment is set here too.I hung up smiling. Gilda, I called her.Why are you yelling? Is everything ready?Of course. Now, you take Diane and Brent, did you take care of him?She smiled, a sly glint in her eyes. "He'll be stuck on the toilet for the next three hours," she thought, a trace of mischief curling her lips.I sent Michael to the store. Give me the folder and leave. That is your alibi. I will follow you in an hour.Adira, dear, I knocked on the bedroom door.She opened smiling. Mr. Unds...Can we take a walk? I want to talk to you about a few things.Of course, she said.We walked towards the living area, and I stopped. Oh, before I forget, can you sign these for the money I will send you?You are so generous, Mr. Unds, she said, signing, not even looking at the paper.Of course. Now let's walk, I said. After we entered the forest, I turned to her.Adira, I’m going to be blunt, really. Magnus is not satisfie
Adira’s POVI took a shower alone, before he woke up. I didn’t want him to see me bleed.He walked into the shower. Adira, I’m so sorry, I hurt you...Fuck. He said, running a hand through his hair.Magnus, it's normal, I’m fine. Stop treating me like a fragile thing. I enjoyed it more than you.He let out a sad laugh. You are a bad liar, really. He held me to his chest. I loved that. I could stay like that for the whole day in his strong arms around me.Please forgive me, he whispered.There is nothing to forgive you for, Magnus, I said as I dried myself. Then he saw the bite, and he cursed.He walked out of the bathroom angry. I didn’t want him to leave with guilt, so I did the best I knew.Kissed him. His body relaxed. Look at me, I’m fine. And when you come back, I will be healed. Magnus, I really enjoyed last night.He let out a breath. I will call you tonight, and text me anytime you want. These next three days will be hell for me without you.Stop exaggerating, I said. I will te
Magnus’s POVI have a surprise for you, I said as I tied a silk scarf over her eyes.Magnus, she giggled, what is this?"Adira, your lips look so delicious right now," I murmured, then leaned in and kissed her.Hmmm, that feels good, she saidForget the surprise, I’m taking you to the bedroom.Magnus, stop. Okay, we’re almost there, I said, my heart thudding in my chest. As I scooped her over my shoulder and made my way into the forest, a nervous excitement built inside me. I hoped she would like the place I had picked, the spot by the river she always spoke about missing. My hands were a bit sweaty, and I found myself second-guessing whether this surprise would make her smile the way I wanted. I just wanted everything to be perfect for her.Her head snapped to the left as she heard the running water.Ready? I took the scarf off. Her eyes adjusted fast, and she saw it. The river, large boulders, and water rushing over it. Then she sees the blanket with a basket.You did this for me, s
Magnus’s POVAdira started to glow, then everything happened at once, burst forth in a flash of silver-white—her wolf. At the same moment, Han erupted beside her, dark and wild. Their energy collided in the air, and suddenly the northern lights spiraled overhead, weaving luminous colors around us

Adira’s POVMagnus was adorable, holding onto our kiss like he didn’t want to let me go. I laughed, catching the guard’s eye, looking at me like I’m insane. I love him so much. He’s really trying to hide how much he dreads seeing my father.I asked him to come with me, but he said it was better if
Magnus’s POVI stood at the border, my eyes tired, red. Michael touched my arm.Alpha, you need to rest. You’ve been at this all night, and I can see how much it’s taking out of you. Please, let’s regroup and get our strength back. We’ll try again tomorrow, I promise. We won’t stop until we find he
