ADRIANA’S POV

I’m still watching Daciana with awe fifteen minutes later. I can see the driver from outside the shop window, sulking in the front seat of his car. To feel useful probably, he rolled down the windows of the SUV and has been looking out the windows. I feel a little bad for him, knowing he is stuck between Xander and his sister. Though I’m sure a part of him knows Xander will kill him if he doesn’t listen to his sister.

What I still don’t understand is why everybody thinks he cares about me. I mean it makes butterflies swarm my belly but that is beside the point.

“What plans do you have?” I remember her saying that in her room. Now I’m kind of curious.

Daciana looks up at me over the cup of milkshake in her hand, then she bats her eyelashes which makes an amused smile touch my lips. “I told you my love, I can’t divulge my mental secrets for the fear of it being jinxed.” I sigh and pout. This time she chuckles. “Don’t look like that, you’ll find out soon enough. Come now, l

    ADRIANA’S POVA hand wraps around my throat, cutting off my air supply. I try fighting but her hold is too firm. All the alarm bells ring in my head and I panic, the first thing Zara said I should never do in an emergency situation. My mind is deaf to all her advice and warning and this is the worst time to learn a bigger lesson, thinking straight happens only when your brain is getting enough air. Something I am not getting right now.“Why don’t you fight back, slut.” She hisses in my ear, squeezing her hand tighter. I cough but it gets stuck in my throat, my eyes burn and tears stream down my face.I hear a few chatters close to us but I can’t comprehend what they are saying, I’m stuck in a sort of loop and the only thing my brain can register is that if I don’t get air into my lungs soon, I’m going to collapse and that is the one thing I don’t want to happen with this unknown woman that her intent has been clear since the moment I met her.“Weren’t you feeling all high and mighty,

    ADRIANA’S POV“Oh,” is all I’m able to mutter and even that, about a minute later. I don’t even think Donovan is listening to me, as usual, he seems like a wall beside me and while I’m scared of him, I weirdly feel safe too. What I don’t know is, if it’s because of Xander standing a few feet away, or because he helped me.Well, Xander did technically but the Donovan I first met would have dragged me through the gravel to the car.“Guess she isn’t over him not wanting to see her again,” I drag my eyes from the scene back to Donovan. He is already looking at me, his expression unreadable.“Why?” I ask, although I have an inkling of the answer. I guess I don’t want to get ahead of myself.Donovan chuckles, though the sound is dry. His eyes look even drier if that is a thing. “Is that an actual question or are you trying to get me to stroke your ego?” I shake my head but don’t say anything. We stay like that for about five seconds before I hear a scoff behind me and Donovan’s voice comes

    ALPHA XANDER’S POVI manage to keep all my anger at bay until the meeting is called. All the people around the ages of eighteen to if you’re able to move are to attend as long as they are close by, those that aren’t will still get to view because it will be aired so that by the end of the day, they will all know what will happen if either of them tried to mess with my mate.I stand at the top of the podium, my heart still in my chest, like it has never felt a beat before. I felt when she came in and I did a very hard job of not letting my eyes stray to her. She makes me want to be good and I don’t think I’ll go through with this if I see her innocent crystal blue eyes. She is the light in my life and though for the longest time I thought I only have the ability to have darkness, she promises that light I’ve been deprived of all my life.I told Donovan to take her home, I have no idea why he thought it would be a good idea to bring her here.

    ADRIANA’S POVMy breath catches in my throat immediately Xander says those words. Calling me his mistress might be one thing, but he didn’t do that. not even his wife to be. He literally addressed me as his luna and mate, in front of his whole pack.That should terrify me, that should have made me get up from this seat and run until my legs stop moving and my breathing stops but it doesn’t. Instead, a weird sense of satisfaction fills me and I feel confident. Sitting down, alone in this place with more than a thousand people below me, I don’t feel small or insignificant. I feel big, and important and it is all because of him. The man I thought wanted nothing more than to ruin me.“This should be a lesson to all members of this pack. I do not stand for disrespect and bullying, from now henceforth, anyone caught doing either of those will be executed and that is the only verdict for that.” he finishes.

Warmth fills my chest and an emotion I never thought myself capable of fills me so much that I think I might suffocate with it.Adriana’s soft breaths is music to my ears, and just the sight of her beside me, that is enough to make any man’s morning. To be fair, I’ve been waking up to this sight for a while now, but something about it now is more sacred, something new and something entirely fulfilling because last night, what happened between us felt different.

    ALPHA XANDER’S POV “How do you know?” I’m not sure that is the right thing to ask but the question comes out either way. “I saw him,” he swallows. The tears fell this time, full of guilt. I know I’m a heartless monster but I still reach out and pat his shoulder in what I hope is a comforting touch. “I used to have trouble sleeping so I usually sneak into her room and sleep on her bed, she leaves the door open for me but he didn’t like that, he said I wasn’t man enough,” he frowns, his eyes hardening. He was just four, Jameson is a sick bastard and he deserves to die a slow and painful death. I vow to deliver that to him, in whatever hell he is hiding. “He had a pillow over her head and he didn’t stop until he was sure she was dead, I was too shocked to move. I ran to my room after, scared he would do the same to me and I never told anyone. I don’t know how he found out but he punished me and threatened to do the same to me if I said anything about it.” His throat bobs as he swallo

I look up at him, his eyes are fixed on the ceiling like he is seeing a prophesy or some shit up there.“What?” I ask, because I can’t be sure what he said is right. If he knew where his father was all this while, why is he just telling me? I sit up and push the papers that are littered on my desk out of the way.“Jameson,

Every excruciating second of it. I try to analyze all that has happened, think of what I could have done to make the end happen differently. Burning Dreaya’s body was very easy but I made sure I left a mark.In whatever dumpster her ashes remain,

    ALPHA XANDER’S POVMy entire world stops when she pushes the dagger deeper, a small raspy sound leaves my mate’s throat. That is the only thing I can hear is the drip of Adriana’s blood, I can hear every single gurgle from her throat.I try to force my legs to move but it feels like I’m rooted to the spot. No! This can’t fucking happen!Unlike the first time, I feel our connection sever. It is like my heart is being ripped from my chest, painfully slow, every vein being cut at an extremely slow pace. This seriously can’t be!“No.” I go to scream but it comes out in a small moan.Dreaya stands back and twirls the bloody dagger in her hand, she holds it to her face then brings it to her lips and juts her tongue out. I don’t feel disgust at her licking her daughter’s blood right off it. I’m in too much shock to do anything except stand there and watch all of this crazy shit. A part of me is praying this is just some type of messed up hallucination and I will snap out of it.I will give e

    ADRIANA’S POVI’ve thought I felt what an out of body experience is before, but what I’m feeling now, I realize, is exactly what it means to have an out of body experience. I’m here, I hear things, I see things but I feel absent. In my body. I know this isn’t just my wolf taking control and pushing me back, it is more than just that.“What did you want to say again?” Xander asks, sounding bored.The woman—my mother—it feels weird calling her that because I didn’t feel any of the things I thought I would feel if I saw her. No joy, not even disappointment or anger. I just feel numb, and she could as well be anyone at this point. She hasn’t turned or spared me a glance since she came and that is probably adding to how I feel about her presence.I’d known it was her the moment I caught sight of the long blond almost whitish hair, so much like mine, and her eyes, I have a feeling they are the same color. Even our statures are quite similar. It is like I got all my genes from her and not Ja

    ALPHA XANDER’S POVThe hairs on the back of my neck stand at attention, I don’t turn immediately. Letting the shock wear off my face first.My first instinct had been to get my mate out of there, then on second thought I didn’t move, knowing she was playing a game I have no idea how to. If she gets an inkling of my affections towards her daughter, this will just be a million times worse. I already have a lot to lose as it is. Any more and I would be left with nothing.“Hello Xander,” her slightly raspy voice says. This time I spin and face her, my eyes flicker to the bed, where Adriana is sitting still like a sculpture or something inanimate. I make sure the look is as brief as humanly possible, a blink is slower than that.Beside the bed, standing in her full glory is the woman I had hoped I wouldn’t have to face since the last time we tried to kill each other, a century ago.I feel the darkness that has been hibernating in me all these months, probably even years, the main reason wh

    ALPHA XANDER’S POVThe most unlikely place for me to think is when I’m in between Adriana’s legs, or on the verge of cumming from how good she was riding me. If I wasn’t so sure about her being innocent, I would have been worried about how she knew how to do that.Wolves and lycans know the natural instinct of mating and since she is more wolf than human now, it makes sense that she would want to mate, completing the mate bond on another different level. If I was thinking straight, I would have stopped her knowing what would come after this. She would want to mark me and it won’t stop that way, her wolf, now linked to me and feeling my lycan aura would want to shift. That would be disastrous seeing the state the manor is in. The first shift is always horrendous.I’m lost in the sweet world of ecstasy that only involves my mate and me, and the pleasure and high we’re chasing.Everything goes well and I try to soothe her while she transitions into her true self and submit to her natural

    ADRIANA’S POVI can admit one thing, I’d thought of taking control from Xander just to see how he would react, and because I was thinking with the throbbing between my thighs and not my brain.What I can’t agree with is what I did after, or what my body did. I’m feeling more confused than ever now.Xander’s eyes are widened into slits as he looks up from beneath me, the fire in his eyes makes my insides burn and they travel down my body and finally settle where I need him most. I’m sitting right above his crotch and I feel his excitement, it takes a lot of effort for me to not further move down and just end this torture.“Fuck,” He groans throwing his head back, he closes his eyes for the briefest of seconds. “You look beautiful on top baby, that is where you belong, above everyone else.” He says in a deep sexy drawl, I feel the need to clench my thighs but it is impossible because of the way i’m sitting. Xander places his hands behind his head, making his muscles flex and. He adjusts

He knows I don’t trust him, not even a little bit, and the feeling is mutual. I’ve just grown a little liking toward him after interacting with him.“What do you want?” he looks a bit cautious asking that, as he should.“For you to answer a few questions for me too.” I haul his words back at him. The sides of his lips tip up in an almost smile.“Do I have to sit through a lie detector test?” he asks, it sounds like a joke but there is a hint of seriousness to it.“I have more effective ways of getting the truth out of people.” I smirk and point to the door. “Feel free to make yourself at home. Ring a maid or something if you need anything.” I’m going to see Adriana and hopefully try to work through her wolf issues with her.“Yeah sur
