Semua Bab Trapped With The Ruthless Alpha: The Heiress Vendetta: Bab 221 - Bab 230

ADELINA'S POV Was it all a lie? That's the question that lingered in my mind. After Viktor destroyed the little light I clung to he left the room. I stayed on the floor crying for God knows how long. Even when the maids came in I didn't stop. It felt like Mikhail and I had just broken off a serious relationship. That was far from the truth. We never had a relationship. It was just my delusion. At least one thing was explained. It explained why I accepted the psycho who broke into my home. I was Mikhail's fated mate, according to Viktor Lycans, just like werewolves' other half was their mate, who they were bound to. That bond was the reason Mikhail glanced at me. To Viktor, he was a cold, heartless tyrant. That wasn't the Mikhail I knew. Yes, he was cold and unpredictable at times, but he treasured me. I knew how crazy he got because of a single dance with another man. Then again he was probably reacting to the bond. I wondered how it felt; was i

ADELINA'S POV By the time I stepped out of the room, Viktor was gone. There was no sign of him. Standing next to the door was none other than Cynthia. Her eyes were as sharp as ever. "You finally decided to step out. Follow me." She hissed, then led the way. Cynthia was also dressed up in a black dress, which clung to her curves, and her dark brown hair was packed into a bun. Cynthia swayed her hips, her heels clicked softly against the expensive marble floor. From the way she held herself compared to other maids, I was certain she was of high status. One thing I learnt was that to shifters status meant everything. We finally stepped out of the building which was too large to be called a manor and not grand enough for a palace. It was magnificent, a beautiful cage. The cold night air grazed my skin giving me goosebumps. Cynthia stopped walking and then bowed slightly. Following her line of view, I spotted Viktor leaning against the car with his hand

ADELINA'S POV Even among outstanding figures he always found a way to stand out. He wasn't the tallest in the room or the only good-looking one; Mikhail just had this presence that made it hard to ignore him. His steps were unhurried, his attention set on us who stood at the far end of the room. Soon, the others realised his attention was only on ' Viktor ' and made way for him. Mikhail stood a few feet away but it was enough to drown me in his addictive scent. I didn't know what was in his cologne but all I wanted was to throw myself in his arms and just bury my face in his chest. Viktor's hold on my waist tightened; it was a warning. Mikhail had a black mask covering half of his face, but I was certain it was him. I relaxed, understanding Viktor's subtle warnings. Mikhail didn't say anything and just stared. God, I had questions to ask him. Why did he suddenly go cold? Was Viktor saying the truth concerning the mate thing? There were a lot of th

ADELINA'S POV The garden suddenly felt smaller, like the moonlight itself was leaning in to watch the scene unfold. The flowers that had looked delicate and enchanting moments ago now seemed dull.As if Mikhail hadn't heard her the first time Viktor repeated the question. "Why are you scared of answering Mikhail?" He drawled, his face was calm, unlike Elena's taunting expression.The fountain’s gentle trickle should have been calming, but each drop echoed like a countdown to something I wouldn’t survive. Mikhail’s silence pressed harder on me than Viktor’s glare ever could. His eyes didn’t leave mine, but he said nothing, giving me nothing. And that nothing was worse than a lie."See?" Elena’s voice slithered between us like smoke, her heels clicking softly against the stone path as she stepped forward. Her crimson dress bled into the silver light, her smirk curling like the edge of a blade. "Our noble Alpha can face down armies, yet a single question from his little human leave

ADELINA'S POV I sat across the glass wall with a warm mug in my palms just staring at the warm cup. I was still curious about the lady in the wedding photo but didn't know how to. Her pictures filled the room like he was scared to forget her One of my favourites was the cute one framed on a table right under the wedding photo. Adeline was grinning in the image petting her obvious bump. That must have been shortly before she died. "Here, have something to eat." Lawrence slid a plate of sandwiches before me before he sat by my side to enjoy his coffee. I placed the warm coffee on the table, then picked up the sandwich, taking little bites. "I wasn't expecting to see you here especially after the kidnapping." He mentioned I didn't answer and continued chewing. So he knew, not surprising maybe Petra told him. "I didn't expect to be here either," I answered. Lawrence went quite hesitantly to speak. "I heard from Casper that he was searching for you. Why don't
