Semua Bab A Luna of Ice : Reborn for vengeance : Bab 231 - Bab 240

Alpha Xavier's POV The second I slammed the car door shut, my hands gripped the wheel so tightly my knuckles turned white.I could still hear Mia’s voice in my head."She doesn’t belong to you, Xavier. She never will."I clenched my jaw, my chest heaving with barely contained rage.She was wrong. Kayla was mine.She had always been mine, and I wasn’t going to let Adrian keep her from me.If I couldn’t enter the South as an Alpha, I’d do it another way.No one was going to stop me from seeing her.I took a deep breath, started the car, and sped out of the pack grounds.I wasn’t thinking—I was acting.The drive to the Southern border was long, but I barely noticed. My mind was racing with plans, scenarios, excuses.By the time I neared the heavily guarded entrance to Adrian’s territory, I had already decided on my approach.I would lie.I wasn’t Alpha Xavier tonight. I wasn’t a man trying to take back what was his.I was just someone passing through on business.I pulled up to the chec

Adrian’s POVFor a long moment, I just stared at the door, my whole body tensing with frustration.I clenched my fists so tightly my nails bit into my palms.For the second damn time—The second time—We had almost kissed.And again—again—someone had interrupted.I had never felt so fucking frustrated over something so simple.I wanted to punch the damn wall.Instead, I forced myself to take a slow, controlled breath before snapping, “I’m not in the mood for dinner!”I was in the mood for something else I realized as my gaze flickered to Kayla's lips again.There was a long pause outside the door before the maid mumbled a quick, nervous, “Understood, Alpha,” and scurried away.I exhaled sharply, pressing a hand to my temple.Then my gaze flickered back to Kayla.She was still right there, her wide eyes darting away shyly, her cheeks flushed.But what had my focus was her lips. The way they were still parted slightly, soft and inviting.I wanted to taste them. Hell, I wanted to do more

Kayla’s POVI barely made it outside before I crashed right into someone.“Oof—” I stumbled back, almost falling again, when a sharp hand caught my arm.“Watch where you’re going, idiot,” a familiar icy voice snapped.I barely had time to brace myself before I looked up into the cold, disapproving eyes of Candice."Oh, this morning just keeps getting better and better." AI thought sarcastically.Just what I needed after humiliating myself in front of Adrian.Candice released my arm like it was filthy, crossing her arms over her chest as she narrowed her gaze at me. She refused to move and I realized that she had something to say to me.I sighed, already exhausted by whatever drama she was about to throw my way. “What do you want, Candice?”She scoffed, flipping her silky blonde hair over her shoulder. “I wanted to talk to you alone.”I raised a brow. “And what? Ask me about my well being? or congratulate me on getting engaged to Adrian?”Her expression darkened. “Don’t be delusional,

Kayla’s POV I barely had time to process what was happening before a strong, unyielding arm blocked Leo’s attack. The force of the impact echoed through the shop, making Ingrid gasp beside me. Leo stumbled back, his wrist locked in a firm grip. But it wasn’t Adrian who had come to my rescue. It was Hector. He stood between us, his expression calm—but there was an unmistakable edge of danger in his eyes. He gripped Leo’s wrist so tightly that the nobleman’s face twisted in pain. “You must be getting bold, Leo,” Hector said, his voice smooth but laced with warning. “Trying to raise a hand against the Alpha's Fiancee in broad daylight?” Leo winced and tried to yank his arm free, but Hector’s grip didn’t budge. “She’s overstepping,” Leo hissed. “Digging into pack finances like she has the right—” “The right?” Hector chuckled darkly, finally releasing him. “She’s engaged to Adrian. That gives her more right than you’ll ever have.” He stepped forward, forcing Leo to back away. “Yo

Kayla’s POV Adrian stormed into the room with a fury that made the walls feel smaller. Behind him, several of his men followed—Connor and Logan at the front, their sharp eyes scanning the scene. His gaze locked onto me first. Then it dropped to Hector, who was still holding me. “What the hell is going on here?” he growled, his voice dangerously low. Before I could say a word, Adrian strode forward and pulled me out of Hector’s arms. His grip was firm but careful, his hands brushing over my arms as if checking for injuries. “Hector, what the fuck did you do to her?” Adrian’s voice was ice. "I swear to the goddess, if you've hurt a single hair on her body--." His body tensed in front of me, like a wall between Hector and me. I quickly shook my head, stepping between them before things escalated. “Wait! wait no! Hector didn't hurt me, He just saved me.” Adrian’s brows furrowed. His eyes scanned me again, as if only now registering what I had said. “Saved you?” His voice softened
