"I can...." Her thumb pointed backwards to the door, "just go." "You don't get to decide that.""You were studying. I shouldn't disturb you." It was turning desperate now. Anything to leave this place and stop the pulsing in her wrist."I was.... taking a nap.""Yes." She gave a chaotic laugh "You were sleeping. You....you should continue." She said and quickly turned back, rushing towards the door."Come back here, Anna." He suddenly said, making her stop in her tracks. It was so low. So calm. Like he wasn't also feeling the burning of his words in her skin and the heat of his eyes as he stared at her, darkly, too darkly."I-""Don't make me repeat myself twice. I hate it." He said and she bit her lips, taking one of the bold decisions of her life, walking back to him. Not like she had any other choice. He was faster than her imagination of demons. And the door was locked. She stopped few feet's away from him. "Closer." He said. She took a step closer."Still too faraway." He mutt
He tugged at her dress slightly, controlled. "Take this off." He murmured against her lips."Lord..." His grip on her hair hardened, cutting her short. He wasn't ready to listen to her. Not now. She shouldn't have come into this place. She couldn't control the things she felt right now and how she was torn between running round the room from his grips or just doing as he said. She knew she should run. But she couldn’t. His presence overwhelmed her, consuming her senses with a force that left her unsure of what to do. When he pulled away, his eyes met hers, dark, unreadable, like an endless abyss that threatened to swallow her whole. His voice, when it came, was low and calculated, smooth as silk but edged with an undeniable authority. "I said take off your gown."The command hit her like a blow, a shockwave that rattled her to her core. Every muscle in her body screamed to fight, to resist, but she knew that defiance would only make things worse. He was in control. Always. The word
He tapped the table lightly, staring at her.Anna moved forward, the dim light from the lights cast long, dancing shadows across her bare skin, highlighting the gentle rise and fall of her breasts as she leaned over the heavy oak table. Her heart pounded in her chest, a rhythmic drumbeat echoing through her ears.Anna's breath hitched as she felt his fingers trace the curve of her spine, sending shivers of anticipation skittering across her skin. She gasped as he cupped her @ss, his thumbs brushing the sensitive skin of her inner thighs. He leaned in, his breath hot on her ear as he whispered, "Read the book, Anna. Read it while I fvck you."She reached out, her fingers brushing the hard cover of the book."The witch's heart is a secret," She tried to focus on the words, but her mind was a chaotic as Xandros' fingers ghosted over her clit. A shudder ran down her body. "You are wet," He teased her, his fingers dancing around her clit, dipping into her wetness, but never quite giving h
"You should read more often." He said as he pressed the button and the door click resounded. He gave her a final glance as he walked out of the place, leaving her in there. Anna stayed quietly for a moment, her eyes staring at the wide open book. She didn't even make it through the first paragraph. A shudder rushed down her spine, s reminder of what had just happened here few minutes ago. A salty taste remained in her mouth and a clean view of where she'd licked on the table.She bit her lips, the urge to bite down on her own self. She had been really stupid. Stepping in here and letting him...no, wanting it. She wasn't supposed to. He could never belong to her. Xandros was not meant to be hers. He was married, a marriage of convenience, yes. But still.A tear rushed down her spine and she finally broke down, her body shaking violently as tears escaped her eyes. She was crying... because she knew they could never be more than this. Just this. He could never see as something else....a
Anna stared at Willa with something deep, almost hatred. Suddenly, she banged the door close right on the girl's face, locking it behind her. She took in a deep breath, anger bristling under her skin like lave, ready to erupt, but she had no choice. She just had to do it. Why....oh goddess, she laid her back on the bed as she stared at her phone. Nothing, no messages. Nothing. To think that the only number she'd had on her phone was Sandra's, Candy's and unknown numbers she didn't save but knew was from Levi. She took a deep breath. In this large world, she was practically alone. ****"What do you mean?" Xandros glared at Gaia with sharp eyes. He seemed angry as he dropped the black file on the table."I don't have to do this. The packs are fine.""You have to check up on them. You used to do it easily all the time.""That. Time. Because Athena was there." Xandros's voice took an angrier turn as he pushed the file towards Gaia."I make sure they have everythi
"Your new name is Athena."***"Go out there, like the good girls you are and dance. Well enough, to please the watchers. There are only two choices for you, dance well and get sold or be killed." They weren't empty threats. They had been trained, well fed and made beautiful over the past few months, so any girl who didn't fetch enough money for them would simply be discarded."If we are get lucky enough, we'll be chosen." Sandra said beside Anna said and Anna sighed.Lucky?Would being sold be called luck? In their world, yes."File out. Take your position at the poles." Candy fired another order at them and stopped in front of Anna, a grin on her face."You are one of the best, Anna, even though you are nothing but just an omega. I hope you get chosen though. Best of luck." She said."Thank you." Anna breathed out in nothing more than a whisper as she joined the queue, being the last on the line.She took a deep breath, the color of the club lights almost blinding, by the contrast t
"One million dollars." The room went quiet. No one would dare to raise the bar higher. Even if they did, Xandros would still get her. Knowing that she couldn't be sold to anyone else, he dropped the hanky and strode out casually of the place, his crew of members following him except his beta warrior.Candy's hand lowly fell on the wooden structure and the hit didn't sound as high anymore, "Sold." ****"Oh my God. Oh my God." A deep rumble resounded in her chest as she tried to keep her breath steady and cool. It wasn't working.Her legs moved her around faster, making her pace around the room in agitation."What is wrong with you!?" The door opened and Candy shot.Anna immediately rushed towards her, "You cannot sell me to him. Anyone else but not Lycan Xandros. Please...." Her voice cracked.Candy scoffed, "We don't have the power in our hands to choose who buys you or not. Lycan Xandros or anyone else, it all depends on their pockets. It's not my fault you had to dance when he ha
"What's going to happen because it seems to me that he hates her?" She managed to ask."I'm sorry, but Lycan Xandros is looking for something that can contain his bottled anger and I believe you are that tool who can help." "And in the process I'll be damaged," Anna couldn't help but say that."I care a lot less about what happens to you, because you have been bought. You are his property now, so focus on obeying his commands. I'll be back at morning time, so get lots of rest. It'll be helpful." Diane got out of the room, closing the door behind her. They didn't even lock the door, knowing that she couldn't make an attempt to escape. Anna walked to the window, her face pale, her eyes glassy as she stared across the wide span of land and the men who patrolled round it. CCTVs were everywhere and it would be a stupid action to do anything that could put her in trouble. She put her hand inside the black robe she had been given and fished out her phone, turning it on. They had a rule of

Anna walked into the library, it was a little bit dark with dim lights everywhere and quietness filled the whole surrounding."Wow, it's really big." She looked around at the rows and rows of books lining the walls and an electronic ladder to move around. A gasp left her lips. She'd loved reading as a child but ever since she grew up, she hardly had time for herself or....the passion to read as much any longer. So she'd abandoned it for a while.But the scent of books and the constant scent of rain was her favorite scent, like the scent Xandros had, the smell of a forest after an heavy rain. It felt comfortable, even though she had never been particularly comfortable in his presence. She just couldn't. He was the opposite of everything she knew.She walked round the corner, picking books she would love to read. "Diary of the witches." She whispered underneath her breath, picking the hard cover dark book. It was heavy and almost fell off her hands instantly. Her eyes widened as she pl
Diane rested her back on the door, listening to the hard hitting of Anna's fist on the door. Her heart beat fast, too fast. Not again. Oh goddess. Not again.Soon, her ears picked up Anna's light sobs. It had been like this when Xandros found out about Athena's betrayal. He had left her in the room and ordered for her lockup so she wouldn't contact the rogues, her family.But she'd killed herself instead. Just like that. Would Anna do the same too? The thought hit her and she gulped hardly.****Anna heard the twist of key in the doorknob and she immediately stood up to her feet, patting her gown softly with nervous fingers. Cold sweat ran down her body, making her shiver slightly.The door opened and Diane stared at her with dead eyes. "Explain." She said calmly.Anna didn't waste time starting. She went from the first day Maren stepped foot into the house and the wedding day and every other thing related to Levi."Why have you kept it a secret for so long?" "I thought he really tho
Anna's teeth vibrated as she sat in the bathtub, while Sandra got her hot water to bath."Sandra, I warned you about this." She spoke, her teeth chattered lightly. Shivers ran down her body when the warm water came in contact with her skin and she sighed lightly.Sandra grinned. "But you had fun?" She asked, placing her face in her palms, "Risky things are fun sometimes." She shrugged."I.... don't....take risks." Anna said pointedly and Sandra flared her nose in mockery as she moved backwards. "If you get sick, I'm going to take care of you anyway. So... I guess it all falls back on me." She raised her brows."Why...why do you have to be this way?" Anna shook her head as she clicked her tongue."I don't know, baby." Sandra muttered. "Bath quickly and come to bed...to me. I'm gonna give you some warmth if only you agree to cuddle." She said and Anna laughed lightly."You are crazy." She shook her head.Sandra walked towards the door, stopping there with a light throw of her head. "Ann
"Stay in my room tonight," Anna said the moment Sandra's hand touched the knob, "Hmm?""What us wrong with you, Anna?" Sandra turned, folding her hands as she leaned by the door. "I get the fact that you are secretive and all and, I also know for a fact that," she stared at her pointedly, "you don't have any other friend than I. I'm your best and only friend. Stop hiding things.""Let's not pretend like we both don't know you are also hiding something nasty about your past." Anna cocked her head, grinning."Mine is not traumatic like yours." Sandra shrugged, "At least from what I saw your first night at Abaddon." Anna gulped, a rush going down her throat. "Are you going to sleep here or keep on trying to pry?" She patted the bed, skin cold."This is the first time you are asking me to sleep in your princess bedroom, why would I reject such a love? Not me, Anna and definitely not today." She said and rushed towards the bed, jumping on it. It sank before bringing her back up."God, it'
