Diane's eyes went up the stairs to see Xandros, staring at them. Anna was still on the floor, her arms wrapped around Diane's thighs crazily as she kept on crying continuously. "Anna!!" Diane shot loudly and the girl went mute for a second in shock, "Sandra is safe." Silence. She spent a moment trying to wrap her head around the information and finally, she blinked through wet lashes, "Is that true?" "Yes, Anna. Get up, please." Diane pulled her upwards by the arm and Anna bent her head in shamefulness. "I'm sorry-I....I.. didn't..." "You don't have to say anything if you don't want to." Diane bent her head slightly to catch her face. It was more like a sentence to make her speak but it turned out Anna took it that Diane wasn't interested. "Alright. Can I see her now? I really have to...meet her urgently." "You can't see her now, Anna. Not until you free yourself of your crime...first." Diane said. She gulped and nodded her head lightly, following the woman downstairs. Dian
Xandros stared at the paper and signed, folding it up. "That's not Athena's handwriting." He said flatly and there was no argument made after that."If you are going to put the blame on her next time, I suggest you do it when she can speak to defend herself and not while she's dead.""She can't speak," Anna said before she could stop herself,. Xandros shot her a glance."Exactly, Anna. It means don't....talk about Athena." He warned.Gaia's eyes flickered between them both."Athena is not the point here. How can Athena write something from many years ago?" Maren shot."I didn't open the rod. I couldn't....open it." Anna stuttered."Then that means there something you must be hiding -""She doesn't knows how to write in code, Maren. Anna, get out of here." Xandros said calmly and she took a deep unsatisfied breath before she walked away, her fingers fiddling with each other."Let me take you to check on Sandra. She might...be in a bad condition and don't be afraid!" Diane rushed to look
"You don't," Anna thinned her eyes in disbelieve, "expect me to actually do that? Fight Willa over something you did wrong.""I'm not sure Willa thinks that way..." Maren dipped her head to the side and instantly, Anna let out a groan as Willa captured her hair swiftly with one hand, dragging her head backwards."Let...."Anna's hand wrapped around Willa's, "me go." She managed to say with pain burning through her scalp.Maren tightened the rope of her night jacket as she turned on loud music in her room and walked off to the bed."B*tch!" Willa groaned, throwing her hands over Anna's face. The hit threw Anna off balance as she staggered backwards, heat rushing through her veins and settling on her face, it painted her cheek a very red colour.She blinked, feeling the red in her eyes, when Willa lunged towards her again,not ready to back off.Anna got the point and she rushed towards her, dipping her head so low, it hit Willa in the stomach the moment."Just so you know, Anna," Maren s
"What? No!" Anna jumped off the bed as quickly as she was startled by Diane's information. It couldn't simply work, not at all. No one expected her to just get into Xandros's room one night because of one impromptu information.But she'd been thinking about it. Knowing pushing it off further was not even appropriate. After she'd heard Maren spout all those nonsense in the dungeon, she'd been more convinced that she was going to die young. *It's just two months left. She thinks she have all the time in the world, she doesn't!*Yes, she didn't and to be sincere, not that she loved the pain, but she wanted to be alive. If only she had a choice. If only....why couldn't be go for surrogacy?Her head almost whipped to the side to look at Diane as the question laid on her tongue."Don't," Diane shook her head, "Please don't ask me anything right now. I'm not in the mood to answers to all of your curious questions.""I don't know how to change his mind, since he was the one who called you in
After a two hour conversation with Sharon, it was time for the dreaded hour. Anna never expected the time to come as fast as this. She didn't even want it. Panic glazed over her face as she got herself bathed by people she didn't even know. Probably just ran into at the kitchen when preparing that day for Maren's arrival."You are pretty," one commented when they started placing makeup on her face. Anna was too deep in thought to even get that as a compliment."Don't worry. Every one has a first time in doing this things. If you were at Apex Pack when Lord Galenira was still alive, you would be used to this things." The girl said again and Anna's curiosity was instantly picked."Apex...Pack?" She muttered. The girl dipped her head with a nod. Anna's mind went back to the day she'd first had dinner with Xandros. Those men who were kneeling, who had one of their other men killed was from Apex Pack. They were the newly joined pack under the Silent Howl Clan."Why was Lord Galenira killed
Sandra's eyes glanced over at the lights shining outside and the guards paroling the area, her fingers working on the chain she'd held in her hands. The chain she'd been carrying since she was a child. Today was that day. The day she just couldn't remember. The day her life started all over again. Rain.Lightning.Thunder.She was on the road, her face wet, her lashes gumming aggressively to her eyes and then the lights suddenly appeared.Crash!The sound of a sharp inhale suddenly cut off her thinking and her eyes closed as she tried to take in a deep breath.Inhale.Exhale.Forget about it.Inhale.Exhale.Forget. About. It.Even though saying forget about it usually made her remember what 'it' was, she felt it easily helped her take her mind off 'it'. Soon she was lost looking at the stars outside and then her eyes caught someone she never expected. He could see her from the window. She gulped.Her wolf jumped in giddiness. Those eyes. Never could she expect that Gaia would be he
"Lord Xan.... Xandros, I...I just...." She fiddled with her fingers. His eyes dipped down to her hands. He was pretty sure she didn't have a reply. Anna's eyes were locked to her fingers as if she would die if she peeled it off. The heat from her eyes were stabbing furiously into her skin, almost like though it would peel off and burn through......deep. She could feel Xandros's eyes on her body, it wasn't moving. It was burning into her skin crazily like fire. She wished it could leave her body. She couldn't think. She just couldn't....think. Mate? Would he treat her like one if she picked her? She was not so foolish to believe him, neither was she going to pick and get mocked. "Answer me," His voice was getting darker. She heard a growl underneath. Imogen. She whimpered, her shoulders shaking lightly. Fear rushed down her body lightly. "Anna," "I-I don't have....a answer, Lord Xan...dros." Her reply had barely gotten into his ears when he stepped closer, his shoes grazing hers
WARNING: X RATED. SKIP THIS CHAPTER IF ITS NOT FOR YOU.The moment Anna stepped into the bathroom, her stomach rumbled and an irritation rose to er chest. She had drank the drink stupidly without giving it much thought. Her cheeks reddened as she rushed towards the toilet seat and emptied out the content in her stomach. She heaved out a sigh of relieve as she did, cursing Xandros under her breath for forcing her to drink it in that manner. Looking down on her chest, she realized some of her vomit had splashed on it, her lips cringed in irritation. She flushed the content of the toilet bowl out and walked into the shower in search for water.She didn't know if it was the overwhelming temptation to test out the hot shower or if it was the drunkenness or the squeasiness of her body after emptying out her stomach, but she did pull out of clothes and walked under the shower.Never in her wildest imaginations, would she think Xandros would appear right there. Her hands crossed her chest as
She didn't give a reply to the words he said and that made Xandros raise his brows slightly. "I wanted you to watch Don's death, so you would know what happens to people who betray in Khaos." He said flatty and she pursed her lips tightly, taking his words in."I have nothing to betray you about." She muttered."But you see things that happen in Khaos. One day, you might not be able to keep your mouth shut." He replied and she bit her inner lips tightly."I- I understand." She said."Diane would get you some drugs to keep the anxiety out. Take them." The last sentence was an order as he strode out of the room, like a huge panther, bolting the door behind him.Anna exhaled lightly and inhaled, memories of her dreams completely forgotten by the small session she'd had with Xandros just now."It's better this way." She whispered, getting up from the bed. *****Sandra's eyes widened when she opened the door and got face to face with Gaia. She was just about leaving the room and he was j
"I don't think she panicked cos of Don's death. There was something else.""Tell me something I don't already know, Gaia." Xandros hissed lightly as he sat on the cushion chair.Gaia stared at him with a skeptical look, "Then I assume I can say you are pushing her too far. She is just supposed to be here as a breeder. Why are you passing your hate for Athena unto her? Is it because you still love Athena? It's been a long long time. Even witches would have forgotten about their loves at that time." "Just because you are my beta doesn't mean you could ask me sensitive questions like this." Xandros said pointedly."You told me to tell you what you didn't know." Gaia said respectfully and Xandros cocked his head, "You should be checking on your mate. Why are you here giving me unwanted advice?"Gaia's eyes thinned. "It's.... different.""Different? How? From what I hear, Sandra has a wolf. It means she knows about the mate bond. What do you think she would be thinking? That you don't wan
Anna let the guards drag her out without fighting against them. She knew it wouldn't do her good, even if she did try. What usefulness was it fighting against two guards who were almost twice her height and size.The smell of blood hit her in the dungeon. She hadn't taken note of it, the first time she came down here but right now, with all the panic and confusion rushing in, she felt a rush of the smell hitting her. It was dark in here with dim lights lighting the place, it was almost impossible to see."What am I doing down here?" She asked in a tiny voice, filled with hypertensiveness."You will find out." The first guard said, heightening her fears. Her heart beat rapidly in her chest and she looked backwards, maybe hoping someone would appear from the darkness and just drag her out of this. Maybe she would wake up and be told her whole life was a lie. Maybe, she would wake up with flowers bathing her. It was a dream but dreams came through, didn't it? She needed it right now. But
Don felt a change in the air. Maybe, it was him but it felt real. His brain must be messing with him. This.. this couldn't be real. He took a deep breath. There was nothing strange. He knew it, Xandros was just bluffing."Liar. You thought you could scare me?" He shot, turning around to know where Xandros was watching him. He got the camera and he smirked, throwing him the middle finger. "Bullsh*t. Fvck you, Lycan Lord!"A warmth touched his cold skin and slowly it felt like sweat, clinging deeply to his skin. Dan blew out air from his mouth to calm the intensifying heat. He paced the room once, then again as his chest started tightening , his breaths shallow. The air tasted...wrong. Felt wrong. Like the inside of a sealed casket. What the h*ll was going on? He paused, frowning. Inhaled. Exhaled. Again.But the discomfort only got worse. Each breath felt heavier than the last, like drawing in something thick. "Let...me...out!" He stuttered, his lungs screaming for oxygen, but th
Willa gulped down slightly. *I hate when people touch what's mine.* It seemed like Xandros was talking to her. He was. "Hey," Gaia kicked Don's legs slightly as he lay cooped up at one side of the dungeon. Sweat and blood escaped through all pores of his body, as he groaned, trying to open one of his eyes as he stared at Xandros. It was extremely difficult, considering the fact that Xandros's men had beat him to pulp when they got hold of him yesterday after going after Anna. "How do you feel?" Xandros cocked his head slightly, a smirk raising the corner of his lips. He looked amused. "I didn't think you would be this weak. News got to me that you didn't even fight back. Is your wolf's brain," Xandros raised his index finger and pointed to his head, "all about money?" He raised his brow."Your men outnumbered me," Don didn't seem to back down. All that money had gotten into his head."Uhhmmmm" Xandros breathed out slightly as he bent down to meet Don, "You say it like I should hav
Red coloured Maren's eyes instantly. "What!?" If Xandros heard her question, he didn't reply. He simply walked out of the mansion, ignoring her.Maren's nose flared in undiluted anger as she stared at his back till he finally disappeared. The shuffling of feet made her turn back to the staircase and she stared as Anna walked down slowly."What are you putting on?" Her eyes crinkled at the sight.Anna had donned a short white gown that stopped at her knees, with singlet hands and there was no other reason than the heat. Even if the AC was blasting in the room, she didn't want to get the rashes as a result and she wasn't a fan of chilled places. She was easily prone to cold and also to the heat.It seemed like Maren didn't agree, cos she wore the full gown she'd always worn. To look queenly perfect."I asked you a question," Maren's eyes darkened. She was determined to pass her anger down to Anna today."Clothes, Lady Maren." It was a polite answer, but it insinuated that Maren was bl
She didn't hear him well. Maybe sometimes, humanity seeped out of Lycan Lord Xandros but she'd never think this much would escape out.She didn't know what prompted her to bring the question out. Maybe it was the fact that she wanted to know who he would choose or maybe she was just asking for trouble. She could enjoy this moment and pretend tomorrow that this never happened but what about after then?"What...what about Lady Maren?" A speck of golden flickered through his eyes as his brow ticked upwards in a questioning gaze. In that moment, she thought the humanity had slipped out."Sit." His voice was firm as he pulled her back to the chair and she fell on it with a soft 'plop'."If I need Maren, I'll call her. What?" He raised his brow higher, "Are you interested in having a three some?""Eew." The word has escaped before she knew it and she slapped a hand over her mouth instantly, her eyes as wide as saucers.Xandros let out something in between a growl and a laugh as he faced hi
"What are you doing standing up there?" Her legs vibrated lightly as the sound of his voice. Her lashes went up to meet him and his eyes were fixed on her, watching her."I-""Have you had dinner?" He suddenly cut her short and her eyes went up. Was he seriously asking that?"Don't have ideas, Anna. Diane brought a lot of food and I'm not hungry tonight. Since you were bought with my money, I figured I could feed you as much as I like." He said as he curved down the counter and pulled out a chair from beneath it. "Come down here," He said, tapping the counter lightly. Her legs moved and she walked down the stairs, her dress gumming her body tightly as it was wet. He ran his eyes over her, stopping slightly on her cheek. Since she'd washed her face completely of the make-up, the finger print of Willa's hands were shining brightly.He didn't say a word as he walked upstairs into his room and came back swiftly with a white shirt. His, probably.He threw it to her and she caught it swif
X RATEDAnna gulped, wondering what the fvck was wrong with her head when she decided to go on her knees. Her knees hit the wet group, letting a tiny splash of water announce her arrival and she looked up at him, through her thick black lashes."Have you ever tried sucking on a d*co before, yeah?" Xandros's question made her gulp massively. She almost choked on her salive for no reason.No, she hadn't. But she'd seen it a lot of times for him not to try and know how to do it. As innocent as Sandra was, sometimes she'd dragged Anna to watch through slightly open doors and something Candy forced them to watch too. Saying it was a way to please their future masters if they ever got bought.So yeah, basically, she knew what to do. But she'd hoped she wasn't doing that....not no
