All Chapters of Once Betrayed Now Untouchable : Chapter 111 - Chapter 120

Adrian's POV . I'm afraid I already have plans Saturday, I said, keeping my voice polite but firm. Disappointment flashed across Miss Amelia's face. Before she quickly composed herself, she leaned forward, dropping any pretense of playing hard to get. That's fine, Alpha Adrian. I can work around your schedule whenever you're free. Maybe we could give it another shot. I let my smile fade. No point in dragging this out. Miss Amelia, you're an exceptional woman, I said, cutting to the chase. But we are just not a match. I do hope you enjoyed the dinner. At least I did. She admitted, her eyes locked on mine. I thought we could have a future. I like you. I'm sorry. Can you just tell me what I did wrong? She pressed, her voice laced with confusion. I really thought this was going well. I shook my head. It's not you. It's a personal preference. Her face soured with disappointment. Then may I ask, what kind of woman are you looking for? Your standards must be sky-high. I opened my

Karina's POV My hand flew to my chest, clutching my phone as I saw who was already in the elevator. Good morning, Alpha Adrian. I said, good morning. Beta Caleb. I kept my voice light and my smile easy, but the tightness in my jaw probably gave away my nerves. My eyes barely grazed Alpha Adrian's chest before my mind flashed back to last night, the feel of his arms around me. His grip on my wrist, his voice whispering in my ear. Morning, Alpha Adrian replied. His tone cool. He was the picture of calm, his handsome face as remote and untouchable as a marble statue. I stepped back to stand behind him, taking a deep breath to chase away the memories. New phone, Beta. Caleb whispered from beside me. I glanced down at the device in my hand. Oh no. I cracked my screen yesterday, just using my old one till I get it fixed. Ah, that explains it. We made small talk until the elevator hit the lobby. The second the door slid open, I headed for the main entrance. Not the parking garage

Third-person POV The street was quiet, bathed in moonlight, the glow from the occasional streetlight pooled on the pavement like liquid silver. At the far end of the block, a sleek, silver Jaguar idled by the curb, its engine, a low thrum in the stillness. Inside, Alpha Adrian Wolf sat behind the wheel. One hand resting on it, his sharp profile, barely visible in the faint light from the dashboard. His amber-flecked eyes were locked on a car parked across the street. Karina's compact, which hadn't moved for several minutes. He frowned, a hard line forming between his brows. In the passenger seat, Jack let out a massive yawn and slumped against the door. We've been on her tail for over half an hour. He grumbled, rubbing his eyes. How long are we going to camp out here, Alpha? Why not just get out and talk to her? Adrian didn't even glance away from the window. His voice was low, thoughtful. If I go over there, she'll just run again. Jack's. Looked confused. Run from what? You

Adrian POV My eyes snapped open, cold fury cutting through me.Amelia, my voice was sharp enough to draw blood. Who told you about her?The colour drained from Beta Caleb's face as he realized how pissed I was. I could see the panic as he scrambled for an answer.Realizing he'd just stepped on a goddamn land mine, he stammered, trying to find a way to walk it back. I answered for him.My voice dropping to a freezing calm, let me guess. Karina.Sweat beaded on Caleb's forehead. He knew nothing got by me. An explanation would only dig the hole deeper.Well, Alpha, on Wednesday, you mentioned you were heading to Boulder this weekend, but you didn't say why.I mentioned it to Karina that morning. Later that day, she saw Miss Amelia's new Instagram post, photos from your matchmaking meeting.Amelia wrote that she was excited for a food tour in Boulder on Saturday, and I just so happened to be going to Boulder on Saturday too.Putting those two things together. It could make a person assum

Third-person POV. The thought was cut short when Alpha Adrian snatched a menu and smacked Caleb sharply on the shoulder with it. Order. The sharp, commanding voice from the booth behind her made Karina jump. Her heart leaping into her throat. She froze, caught between the urge to be polite and the desperate need to disappear. But the choice was ripped away from her when a bright, feminine voice called out, Alpha Adrian. Alpha Adrian slowly turned his head, his gaze landing on Amelia, who stood waiting before him. His expression was thunderous. Cry from the polite warmth he'd shown during their arranged mating meeting. Now he was radiating an Arctic chill. Miss Amelia, he said, his voice clipped. It's so. Lovely to see you again. She replied. Her own voice bright. Amelia had obviously clocked his frosty demeanor. She probably figured a friendly greeting might thaw him out, but Alpha Adrian's expression stayed locked in ice. He gave her a curt, dismissive nod before turning away
