ADELINA'S POV

After the strange incident, I was a bit distracted. There was no way I was thinking about Mikhail. Like what the actual fuck. My life was in chaos and my brain suddenly thought it would be funny to start hoping of catching a glance of Mikhail Romanov the elder brother of the monster that was making my life hell

Like no fucking way, I knew it was best to stay clear of anything related to that family. It would only bring me bad luck.

"Adel,"

"Adel,"

"Adelina Marino!" I did not freaking hear Petra until she shouted my full name on the third call.

I flinched at her sharp tone then glanced at her. "Yes, you were calling," I muttered. She narrowed her eyes at me trying to figure out what was going on in my head. Which was impossible because I didn't even understand my brain.

"Yes, I called 3 freaking times. What are you even thinking of?" She asked, her eyes still narrowed at me.

"Nothing, my head is just blank. I don't think this is a go

    MIKHAIL'S POV Casper was screwed and he knew it. He, of all people, should know that I didn't want my fated mate at my engagement party. There was a good reason I gave her a day off after she had recovered from her coma. "Casper, you've got to be fucking kidding me." I snapped through the mind link.. There was a good reason why I haven't been at the villa these past few days. The bond was cunning; a part of me knew if I saw her, then my wolf might be crazy enough to ruin everything. He was repulsed by Ophelia but could only swallow a bitter pill knowing this was all for the best. It was hard ignoring her presence, her scent and her laugh. She had no idea how good she looked in that green dress that complemented her eyes. Green was the best colour on her. Casper informed me it was his sister Petra who picked up the dress. "Sorry, Alpha. I wasn't expecting Petra to bring her here, and it wasn't my place to stop her from coming. There was no way I could say,

  • Trapped With The Ruthless Alpha: The Heiress Vendetta   137 - Perfect Match

    ADELINA'S POV Mikhail got down the stairs hand in hand with Ophelia. It gave me a sense of Deja Vu. I had a feeling we were coming for Mikhail's engagement party the moment I saw Casper in Petra's house, and I should have refused, but Adelina just wanted to attend to prove a stupid point, which was wrong. He was the king of Lunaria. It seemed crazy, but everyone was indeed bowing to him, and they called his name King Mikhail the Third. That explains the charisma he has around him, like he was royalty. It turned out he was truly royal. Mikhail got to the foot of the stairs, and a glass of wine was presented to him and Ophelia. She looked like a goddess beside him. Dignified and poised with a presence that commanded attention. I could not pry my eyes away from him even for a second. "Today..." His voice boomed as he started giving a speech every word he spoke carried authority. Everyone listened. I was even forced to listen to every word even though it went

    ADELINA'S POV I had no idea Lawrence was carrying so much. I felt for him. After giving up everything for the woman he loved, she died in the end. Later that night the entire Mondlicht family was dressed for their family event. I asked Petra where exactly we were going but she didn't want to reveal much. A part of me knew we were going to Mikhail's engagement, but still, I was curious to go. What was I trying to prove by going while knowing how much I felt about that man? One of the biggest blessings was to love someone who loves you too. Unfortunately I didn't have it. The soft sounds of footsteps caught my attention. I stood outside the courtyard close to the main entrance waiting for Petra. We were about to go for the ' family event' when she realised she forgot something and ran back in. "Are you waiting for someone?" I heard Lawrence's calm voice. I turned around to meet his gaze. Lawrence seemed stunned for a second but quickly drew in a smile. "You look

    ADELINA'S POV My brain was lagging behind. What was going on here? Was Petra related to Lawrence and Casper? That would explain the similarities I always noticed. "What are you doing here Adel?" Lawrence asked, sounding a bit amused or rather confused. Petra grabbed my hand, staring between us, then her mouth fell agape. "Wait, don't tell me you know each other." She gushed, and I slowly nodded my head. "No fucking way. That's just crazy but I will still do the introduction." She said excitedly then pulled me forward towards the couch "Mum, Dad, this is my friend Adelina, whom I spoke about. The smart ass of the department and my roommate." She introduced. They were truly her parents. I knew her parents were in their fifties or at most late forties, but the couple that sat in front of me looked to be in their late thirties. Good genes that was all I could say. "Good evening Mr and Mrs Mondlicht. I am glad I finally met you. Petra has said a lot of good things

  • Trapped With The Ruthless Alpha: The Heiress Vendetta   134 - Meeting the Mondlicht family

    ADELINA'S POV The day was almost perfect, and Petra gave me a thorough tour of the city. She knew everywhere, surprisingly I even got a tour of the palace from afar, of course. It was a very grand building, even Buckingham Palace didn't come close. By the time night drew close my entire body was exhausted and drained. Having fun was exhausting? We got a complete makeover and spa date, and even shopped for dresses because Petra wanted me to attend a family event. We went to so many places that I even lost track at a point. The car drove into a large compound that housed a luxurious villa in a quiet neighbourhood of Raven City. It was already late in the evening by the time we arrived. The evening sky blended with my ginger hair that sparkled under the soft sun rays like I had weaves of gold on my head. "Dear goddess Selene, I am so spent." Petra groaned after she got down from the bolt. We stood at the main entrance, and not so surprisingly, some servants were

  • Trapped With The Ruthless Alpha: The Heiress Vendetta   133 - Sight seeing

    ADELINA'S POV I haven't caught sight of Mikhail since I recovered. Nora informed me I was relieved from duty to recover. Today was the founders' festival, a large event celebrated in Lunaria. Since I had some free time I decided to spend the day with Petra. We had agreed to meet up that day. My mood was a bit crappy today, deep down I knew what the reason was. My footsteps echoed as I made my way down the stairs. On getting to the foot of the stairs, a voice stopped me, which made my shoulders shudder. "Where are you going, Miss Marino?" Casper's voice asked from behind me. He appeared like a ghost. I wasn't expecting him to be around the villa. He is supposed to be busy. I glanced over my shoulders to meet those similar hazel eyes that reminded me of Petra. "I didn't know I was being held captive here. Since I have some free time I felt it was suitable to visit the city." I explained hiding the slight sarcasm I am sure he sensed. He arched his brows at m
