CHAPTER FIVE: GOODBYE, MR. XSarah and I talked for hours, her jokes and cheerful demeanor eventually lifting my spirits. When we finally decided to head back inside, I was able to walk on my own, a small victory. Too afraid to face my room and the possibility of another nightmare, I slept in Sarah's room. It wasn't the first time I'd had this nightmare twice, and I wouldn't be surprised if it happened again.To be honest, I didn't really know how I slept off. One minute, I was planning our long awaited trip to Mexico with Sarah and the next thing I knew, it was morning and Sarah's knock on the door woke me up."Breakfast," she said curtly, her body half-in and half-out of the door, her blonde hair dangling. I groaned and stood up, rubbing the sleep from my eyes. "Not even a good morning?" I teased, trying to lighten the mood. Sarah gave me a look I couldn't quite decipher before responding, "Do you want to eat or not?" I hesitated for a moment before asking, "What's on the menu?"

CHAPTER SIXTEEN: FINDING PROOF “Why won't you believe me, Alpha Aleksander?” Alina pleaded, her frustration evident in her voice and stance as she stood before him in his office chamber. “I'm telling the truth, I swear it.”Aleksander sighed, his gaze finally leaving the paper in front of him as he leaned back in his seat, his eyes narrowing slightly. “So, this is what you've been pushing for? This is why you came here?”Alina's hand threaded through her hair, her anxiety heavy. “It's been three days since your father's visit, and I fear we're running out of time. I don't understand why you refuse to work with me.”Aleksander's expression remained skeptical, his voice firm. “I'll only consider it if you provide me with concrete proof, Alina. Anything less is just empty words.”Alina's frustration boiled over as she exclaimed, "How am I supposed to find proof?" Aleksander's response was firm and unyielding, "That's your problem, Alina. Bring me something tangible, and only then will

It's as if she wants to say something but can't bring herself to do so." I confided in Adrian, who sat across from me in my office. It has been days since our trip to the ocean, and Lora's behavior has changed dramatically. More different than I know her to be."How long has this been going on?" Adrian asked, his brow furrowed with concern that mirrored mine."A week. The change is so sudden, it's unsettling. Whenever I try to get her to open up, she brushes me off, and further probing only leads to arguments," I revealed, running my hands through my hair in frustration."Maybe she doesn't feel comfortable enough to share her concerns with you," Adrian suggested."I've tried everything to make her feel at ease, but she still won't budge. I'm worried," I admitted.Adrian's smug smile slowly emerged. "This can only mean one thing – you're in lov
