Xander's POV…He could feel his breathing becoming heavy as he searched her eyes, needing to hear the right words from her. Why had she discarded their union so callously? Did she not see how devoted he was to her? How much he couldn't exist without her?"They had me bound and I couldn't escape". She choked up the last bit and began to sob again. "They had you what?" he asked thinking he had misheard her."I tried so hard to awaken but I couldn't," spoke with a pained expression recalling her ordeal.Her words felt like embers igniting a burning flame in his chest.In an instant his body transformed into the monster that he was, placed her down on the couch next to him then stood up and walked to the balcony door."Who?" he asked, ready to take flight."Who would dare???" he roared, his voice echoing in the distance.She was taking too long to respond. He needed to know now so that he could unleash untold horrors on them. She moved towards him then embraced him from behind, trying
Helena's POV..Helena let out a whimper before stirring awake. Something was trailing on her thigh, causing tingling sensations. She slowly opened her eyes then closed them again thinking it was a dream.' Why is this bastard in my bed?' she questioned opening her eyes again. His body was supported by his elbow, his head resting on his palm and he had this amused grin pasted on him.'God no, did I? Again? No I couldn't have,' she tried to piece everything together.'Wait a minute, this isn't my room!' she thought to herself, noticing the different colors and furnishings."Morning," he greeted her, freely moving his hand as if he owned her thigh. She immediately closed her legs on it."Xander, why am I here?" she asked him, feeling very annoyed with herself. It had only been a day and yet she was already back in bed with him? Didn't she learn her lesson already? Right now, Lexy's job was in trouble, she was unable to face Roselyn and not forgetting the fact that she could be pregnant
Xander POV…' Stay calm and be more understanding. She's just in shock', he told himself. Savannah's words last night now made sense. Helena had subconsciously rejected Savannah so the two were existing as seperate beings instead of one.He watched her helplessly as she shook her head, backing away from him. "Do I look stupid?? I think I would know if I was a blood sucking creature!!" He sighed, his fingers touching the bridge of his nose. She did seem epicly stupid right now and had she been someone else, he would have said it out loud.'She's just in shock', he reminded himself."I've never drunk anyone's blood, I've never turned into a bat and I happen to love garlic!!!"Everything she had just said was utter rubbish. The only persons blood that she was ever meant to drink was his otherwise he would tear that person to peices. Blood exchange was a sacred union that could only be shared by committed lovers who wished to share lifetimes together. And then there was that garlic aga
Xander's POV…Holding a searing pan filled with sausages, Xander walked across the kitchen over to the dining room table. His mood had gone from being very annoyed to being worried about her. He knew that right now she was very confused and it was going to take her a while to fully accept and get used to who she was. If only she would stop viewing him as an enemy.Using a spatula, he scooped up the sausages, one by one, placing them next to the eggs, in the two plates that he had set infront of him. He had just poured the fruit juice into the jug when his doorbell rang."It better not be Griff!" he muttered to himself. Helena was still stuck on his wall at the moment and he didn't want to be made fun of. He walked over to the door camera then pressed the unlock button when he saw Gerald standing there."Come in, he ordered , too busy to physically get him at the door. The sound of Geralds heavy footsteps approached him as he opened the oven.Gerald paused just after walking in, gapin
Helena's POV…She sat on the chair across from him, staring at him with the most deadly intent. Her blood was boiling but she felt helpless and unable to fight back." Eat up, your food is getting cold," he ordered her, picking up her fork and knife and placing them on her plate for her.'You want me to eat? I'll show you eating!' she thought to herself. How had she been so wrong about him, thinking he was a good man? She had spent a good two weeks with him, locked up in a cabin and yet never had a clue.She had to be the worst judge of character."Go ahead, eat!" he urged her when she just sat there looking at it.She took a deep breath for encouragement, grabbed her fork, stuck it into her fried egg and shoved the entire thing in her mouth. Her mouth was stuffed full when she began to chew it , fighting the urge to gag. Nomatter what, he was not going to win by making her submit to him.His eyes looked at her briefly then he continued with his food as if he hadn't seen anything.
Helena's POV..Warm morning rays burst into the room, torching her eyes and Helena stired back to life.'Aw hell no! Hell fucking NO!!!Why???' she cried inwards, facing the ceiling. They were both stark naked, his head next to her shoulder and his one arm lying flat across her chest. Was she getting dumber by the minute or was something else going on? Why is it that she couldn't remember?This had to be his doing.Yesterday, just twenty four hours ago, she had made it clear to him, never to touch her ever again. So why was he disrespecting her and acting like a sex starved maniac? He should just go and be with women like Roselyn who were dying to be with him.Grabbing hold of Xanders arm and shoulder, she shoved him with all of her might, her legs kicking him at the same time. 'Don't touch me means don't ever sleep with me ever again!!!' she yelled, pushing him to the edge of the bed.Because he was caught unaware, he fell backwards with a loud thud, taking the sheets along with hi
Xander's POV…That night he returned home late and when he did, he found her in the kitchen making dinner. The knot in his chest tightened when he noticed that she had put on his clothes and she smiled at him, taking him by surprise.'What are you plotting?' he questioned, looking at her with suspicion.The last time he had seen her, she was screaming her lungs out at him and now everything had suddenly disappeared?"Hey," she greeted him and he ignored. This is the greeting that should have woken him up this morning and yet she had chosen to disgrace him instead. Now it was too late. Nomatter how much she tried to be nice, she couldn't undo what she had done.He made his way to the bedroom, took a shower then came out dressed in his pyjamas. 'I'm not going to eat her food', he told himself as he took a seat on the bed, switching on the tv.The truth was he was famished. He had gone to a restaurant to have dinner there but for some reason had failed to get past the first bite. Still
Helena's POV…The next day she woke up expecting to find herself in bed with him but smiled when she was alone on the couch. Thank God the message had finally gotten through and he was now staying away. Had he not kidnapped her, she probably would still be caught up in emotions trying to figure out what to do about Roselyn and this decision to part with him would sting a little. It was good that he had shown her his true colors and had assisted her by forcing her to be here. Right now, her mind was made up and if she turned out to be pregnant, she was going to raise his baby by herself.She thought more about what her next step should be. For starters, she couldn't afford to lose her temper again like before. If she wanted to increase her chances of escaping this maniac, she needed to pretend as much as possible to be tolerant and understanding. He had after all saved Lexy, which meant it had paid off and she knew that if she continued this way, she might have a chance at convinci
