"No....No. You don't mean that." Anna shook her head violently."Anna, I know it's not fair to you but that is how things work here in Khaos." Diane said, trying to calm her down."Bullsh*t," Anna scoffed, her hands tightly held her gown with heated anger. She scowled at Diane, "You and your Lord Xandros, go to fvcking hell where you belong. You can pull Lady Maren along." She snarled and turned on her heels, sprinting as fast as her legs could carry her towards the acres of flowery land that spread out.Diane's eyes widened in pure shock, "Anna!" She then turned to the guards, ordering them immediately with a shaky breath, "Go after her. Lord Xandros cannot know that she disappeared. You must bring her back." She said seriously."Yes ma." The guards echoed as they immediately shifted to their wolves, running after Anna with speed.Her heart was in her throat as her heels lifted up from the ground. She couldn't hear a single thing except the wind which she flowed with. The flowers da
"It's written all over your face, Anna. What did you plan to do?" Diane muttered right at her face and Anna gritted her teeth."We prepared it before we were finally captured into Abaddon. I was only sad I would lose my virginity to a man I barely knew." Anna said undauntedly."Where is it?" Diane asked.She refused to talk, her eyes sharp and not breaking the gaze they held with Diane. But right now, her legs vibrated. She was only standing because of the two guards holding her arms.She felt the air change and a turn appeared in her stomach, so sickening she almost puked. Her head was rotating only around the fact that she was feeling something, something so dark and intense, something that seemed to shoot right through Diane and watch her soul. Diane felt it too because she turned around and in Anna's view, Xandros appeared.She felt a sharp pain in her head at that instant and she knew it wasn't from the fall of that time but it was a mixture and most of it came from the man right
The doors were about to close when she suddenly put her palm in the middle, stopping it.He heart pounded so hard she swore he could hear it. But she stood her ground, even as fear coiled around her ribs crazily.“You had no right.” Her voice was steady, barely. “You had no right to take out my IUD.”Xandros didn’t speak up right away. He ran his eyes over her, pausing it at her stomach and ruffled clothes. Since all of her clothes were ironed hardly, it wasn't hard to miss the fact that she'd raised them and definitely, not in a smooth manner."Answer me." She said, her voice trembled even to her own hearing. But she couldn't back away. No, she would not.“It was in my way.” His voice was quiet. Low. Dismissive.In his way..Anna’s nails dug into her palms, trying to mask the shaking in her hands. “You forced me into this,” she bit out. “You bought me to use me. And now you steal the one thing I had control over?” Her breath hitched, but she pushed on, desperation clawing at her thro
Anna stared at her stomach in the mirror of her room, a sour taste in her mouth. So recklessly, so mindlessly, these people had done this to her. There was nothing she could do in a world like this than to flow with the tide. It had overpowered her already, dragging her into its pits. She had to go with it so she wouldn't risk getting too hot."It healed." She heard Diane's voice and she turned sharply, just to see the woman had the door. She had been deep in her thoughts not knowing when Diane had inserted a key and walked in.Diane walked in fully. "Does it hurt?" She asked, an emotion in her eyes. Anna read them. Diane looked genuinely worried. She couldn't decipher if it was true or fake but eyes never lied....well, until they actually did."The medicine works perfectly well." Anna let out a murmur as she dropped her ash gown. It fit her skin perfectly even if it was a little dull. Everything looked good on her, including the maid uniform from the other day.She walked towards Dia
Now alone in her room, Anna took out the red gown from the box and she could see the blue heels that stayed under the clothes, the silver jewelries, thin, but screamed millions. Why were they spending these amounts on her? She wondered.She let out a lazy breath as she rested her back on the bed, staring at her high ceiling, the chandelier looked right back at her. It seemed to mirror her feelings cause the light dimmed at that instant and she sighed deeply. Her eyes travelled down to her palm and she could feel it.The hold of her life gradually slipping away into Xandros's fingers. She had no control anymore.Her phone vibrated on the bed beside her and she picked it quickly, her eyes scanning for the message.- The man with dark eyes.Simple. Just one line.Just like that day, the simple word, Maren and that changed her whole life. Who was the man with the dark eyes? And what exactly was he going to bring? And who exactly -she finally allowed herself to think- was the sender of th
A scream erupted from the guy's throat and her eyes snapped open at that sound, and she saw a huge back covering her."Who the fvck are you?" Xandros's voice. What was he doing here? Did he leave the venue of the wedding? For what?"Aargh! Athena....Athena." Levi called out her name and Xandros gave a light growl, pushing the guy backwards with his captured hands."She's not Athena." He said."Swear it." The guy managed to say while rubbing his hand. Xandros stared at him for a minute, before he barked out his order. "Get this wolf out of here."Anna paused, thinking hard.Does she tell Xandros that he was a rogue?Does she tell Xandros that this man claims to be Athena's brother?But what brother doesn't know his sister?"I'll be back for you, Athena. I swear." He screamed as he was being dragged outside by the guards. Thank God the music was really loud, guests would have come out because of the noise.Xandros turned ever so slowly, his eyes locking with her. "Who was he?""I-I do
She scoffed, ever so lightly, "I should....abandon my child?""Yes. Didn't you know that?" Wyatt asked."I know you would do whatever you want, you and Lord Xandros, but I would never abandon him. Train him or her, I'll remain here." Anna said seriously.Wyatt nodded his head lightly, blinking in thought, his fingers stroking his jaw. Slowly, he poured the coffee on the ground. He never drank the coffee. Thank the goddess she refused."You are a very brilliant lady, Anna. With that beautiful face and body, your life was meant to be set." He got up slowly, pushing his chair backwards to give him enough space."It is so sad you have to die early.""I would cross the death when it comes." It was under her breath but Wyatt heard as he passed by her. He firmly placed his hand in her shoulder and Anna inhaled, feeling the pain. Then he left, like they had never had this conversation.Her eyes closed lightly as she took in a deeper breath to calm herself down. What was that? A threat? Oh yes
She slipped away from the bed, hoping for a miraculous door to form from nowhere, so she could escape the monster. His big build scared the sh*t out of her, the black shadowy hairiness of his body, the hard manner his huge legs hit the ground. Jagged claws extended from his fingers, ready to tear at her if she made any funny move. He snarled at her, his razor sharp fangs, saliva glistening, rolling down the side of his lips. The room was dim, moonlight flickering against the cold stone walls, but even in the shifting shadows, she could see him, Xandros, standing between her and the only escape, golden eyes glowing with predatory hunger.Her stomach twisted."You knew this was coming," he said, his voice dark silk, low and final.Anna swallowed hard, forcing herself to stand tall. "I won’t let you do this."His response was slow, deliberate. "You think you have a choice?"She moved before she could second guess herself, lunging for the door, but he was faster, so much faster."Argh
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
