ADRIANA’S POV

"Aiden!" I called out in a shaky voice, tears streaming down my face.

The guards that were locking him in turned around and looked at me in shock, but I didn't care about them. I was looking at the locked door in front of me, I couldn’t really see the inside and it made my anxiety skyrocket but I saw him.

I had no idea what they were doing to him there and i didnt want to think about it.

"What are you doing here?" one of the two buff guards asks harshly..

"Please, Miss," the other said, his voice shaking. "You have to leave. It's not safe here. The Alpha will not be happy to find you here."

I hesitated, my heart racing with fear. I knew that I should leave, that I should get as far away from there as soon as possible before Xander gets notified. But I couldn't leave without making sure Aiden is fine.

"I can't leave," I said, my voice firm. "I won't leave Aiden here. He needs my help." The guard looked at me with desperation in his eyes.

The other stayed, silently

    XANDER'S POVI sat in the council room, my mind racing as I tried to come up with a plan for how Daciana and I would talk to Donavan about his current misbehavior concerning Adriana. I had just sent Aiden to the dungeon, knowing full well that the warrior would be locked up for a long time. But as I sat there, lost in thought, Daciana burst into the room, her eyes wild with panic."Xander," she panted, "have you seen Adriana?"I hadn't seen Adriana since the previous night. My heart skipped a beat as I saw the panic on her face."No," I said, trying to remain calm. "Why? Is something wrong?""She's gone," she said, her voice breaking. "I went to check on her right now, and she wasn't in her room. I've looked everywhere, and I haven't seen her yet." I had a cold dread wash over me. I knew that Adriana would surely be upset about Aiden's incarceration, but I never thought she would run away or do anything stupid. I facepalmed, groaning as I thought about it.I stood up abruptly, my chai

    ADRIANA'S POVI sat on the floor, feeling the weight of Donovan's anger bearing down on me. I had never seen him so furious before and I couldn't understand why he would force me to say nothing when Xander would come here. I had only come to visit Aiden, and now I was being consumed by Donovan's rage.Suddenly, the door burst open and Xander stormed in, followed by Daciana. His eyes were blazing with rage and he was growling like a caged beast. Donovan quickly called for them to come and witness what I had done.As I sat there on the floor, my heart pounding in my chest as I remembered Donovan's words. He was going to tell them that I had been caught in a compromising position with Aiden, and I knew that Xander would be furious. He might even kill Aiden for it. He chuckled before reminding me that Xander was already very close. A shudder slid its way down my spine.Daciana ran towards me and grabbed me by the arm and pulled me to my feet."What is the meaning of this?" he roared. I wa

    ADRIANA'S POVI sat curled up on my bed, tears streaming down my face. Still trying to process everything that had just happened. Xander had attacked me, because I had been lied against. He never wanted to believe me, instead he insisted on believing Donvan. I had only come to visit Aiden,which was understandable, and now I was being consumed by Xander’s rage and Donovan's fury. I couldn’t help but wonder when all this would die down.I had been locked in my room for a day now, and I still had no answers. I had no idea what was going on or when Xander would consider letting me out. I felt so alone and helpless. I couldn't even talk to anyone about what had happened because I was locked in my room with no way out.I tried to make sense of it all, but my mind was a jumbled mess. All I could think about was the look of anger and betrayal in Xander's eyes. How could he believe that I would do something like that? How could Donovan ever come up with something like that?I couldn't stop the

    ADRIANA'S POVMy mouth watered as I took in the platter of food, I couldn't wait to dig in. The maids set the tray on the table next to my bed and left the room, leaving me alone with my meal. I started with the soup, as it was still steaming hot. The broth was rich and flavorful, and it was filled with chunks of vegetables and tender pieces of meat. The warmth of it soothed my soul, and I felt my body relax as I ate.Next, I moved on to the roasted chicken and vegetables. The chicken was juicy and tender, and it had a crispy golden skin. The vegetables were seasoned with herbs and had a nice crunch to them. I ate quickly, as I was famished and the food was delicious. I then moved on to the pasta, which was tossed with a rich, creamy sauce, and it was heavenly. The pasta was al dente, and the sauce was so flavorful, it was hard to resist eating more than I should.I finished off my meal with some fruit and a warm piece of bread. The fruit was fresh, and it had a sweetness that was irr

    XANDER'S POVI couldn't believe what I had heard. I didn't want to believe Daciana when she was hinting at it. Adriana had gone back to see Aiden. I couldn't understand why she would do something like that, especially after everything that had happened. After I had warned her sternly. But Donovan telling me that he caught her with Aiden was where I drew the line. I didn't want to believe him, because Aiden had been tortured before then, but her silence said a lot.I was filled with rage, and I couldn't control my anger. I paced back and forth in my chambers, trying to make sense of it all. I knew that I had to do something about it, and I knew that I would have to kill Aiden to stop all this.I knew that killing Aiden and not keeping my word about living him alive wouldn't be an easy task. But I also knew that I couldn't let him live, not after what he had done and what he would cause me in the future. He was taking my mate away from me, and I couldn't let him get away with it.I thou

    XANDER’S POVThe blare of the alarm jolted me from my sleep, and I cursed as I reached for it. But my hand was heavy, and I ended up throwing it on the ground, the sound now echoing through the room.“Fuck!” I growled as I opened my eyes, wincing as the sun hurt my eyes. The hangover was hitting me hard, and my head was pounding.I sat up and looked around, the room was a mess. Empty bottles of alcohol were scattered around, and the smell of stale alcohol and sex filled the room. I remembered the harem of women I had summoned the night before, and I could feel the fading pleasure still lingering down there. I knew that I should have felt satisfied, but instead, I felt empty and alone and utterly terrible.I dragged myself out of bed, away from the sheets that entangled me in their minute folds, my body feeling heavy and sore. The bed was a large four-poster, with a dark red comforter and pillows. The bedspread had a wolf pattern on it, reflecting the Alpha's nature.I walked to the win

    XANDER'S POVI sat there, staring at my sister with a stubborn expression on my face. I couldn't believe that she was still trying to convince me to release Adriana. I had made his decision, and I wasn't going to change it. Still, she was clamoring insistently that I had a change of mind.Daciana, on the other hand, was getting increasingly frustrated. She could see the pain and guilt etched on my face, but she also knew that I was being stubborn. She took a deep breath and tried once more to make me see reason."Xander, you can't keep punishing her like this. She's. Your. Mate.” She growled out her patience thinning. She breathed in, calling herself. She has always had a better grip of her emotions than me. “You need to take care of her. She's been through a lot, and she needs your support and understanding."I let out a sigh, "I know that, Daciana, but she needs to learn her lesson. She needs to learn to obey me and my rules."Daciana shook her head, "Xander, that's not the way to h

    ADRIANA'S POVI have been feeling a nagging pain in my chest for days. It was a dull ache that seemed to linger no matter what I did. I tried to ignore it, thinking that it was just a passing discomfort, but it only seemed to grow worse with each passing day.Breathing was becoming harder and my heart felt heavy. I tried to eat and drink but the food and water tasted bland and I barely ate anything. I would lay in my bed, staring at the ceiling, feeling hopeless and helpless. I cried myself to sleep every night, thinking of all the things that had happened to me. The pain became so severe that it was hard for me to move around and it was getting harder to breathe. Something was wrong and I was getting weaker by the day, but I couldn’t tell what it was. I just knew that I needed help and I tried to keep it away from Daciana, thinking it would go. But I was wrong. It kept growing, getting worse.I spent my days curled up in my bed, tears streaming down my face. I was consumed by a deep

    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.

    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

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
