ADRIANA’S POV

“He is not my lover. Aiden is just a... a helper!” I say, in a final pathetic attempt to save Aiden’s life. “Please let him go!” I whisper, my voice almost breaking.

Alpha Xander says nothing but I notice him grow stiffer, he stares down at Aiden whose feet are off the ground, it wouldn't take much to end him.

“Get her, we can’t stay here for too long. It will be dawn soon.” He says to one of the men, inclining his head toward me. The smaller wolf bows then he runs off only to come back a few seconds later in his human form, dressed in low jeans only. He is holding onto another pair of jeans which he drops at the front of the black wolf.

He shifts right there, not caring that he is naked and pulls the pants up. He approached me, his eyes trained on my body with his lips turned down in an angry frown.

My heart beats frantically in my chest with every step that he takes. Something about him screams danger and instinctively I step back, trying to get as far away from hi

    ALPHA XANDER'S POV "Adriana, you will come with me right now. You are not going to stay with Alpha xander until you have been lawfully wedded as is customary." The unmistakable voice filled with frustration echoed through the forest. Alpha Jameson howls, stepping back when a growl begins to sound in my chest. I nearly killed someone some minutes ago. I won't hesitate to switch who the victim is. "I'm not going anywhere with you, Father. I'm staying with Alpha Xander and I trust him to protect me." She lied, which is what piques my interest to listen to their dialogue. "You trust him?" He asked, glancing at me for a second. "Look where that trust will get you. I don't care about what you think, Adriana. You will come with me and that is final." “Yes,” she replies. Her voice doesn't hold much confidence like it first did. I’m surprised he doesnt catch up on that. "You will do as I say, young lady. I am still your father and I know what's best for you." He bellowed, looking seconds

    ADRIANA’S POV The adrenaline from the argument with my father still crackles in my blood as the car starts moving. Xander is silently sitting beside me while I try hard not to let any part of me touch him. We are not touching in the slightest but his presence fills the car, making me feel suffocated as I try to hide in the back seat. I’m fully resting on the door though there is still room for me to sit on. Alpha Xander is a big man, yes, but the car is big enough that if I didn't want to touch him, then I wouldn't. I feel his eyes on me even before I turn and when he lays his hand over mine, it curls into a fists completely on its own. My show of bravado in front of my father has gone, the adrenaline is wearing off and my reality is starting to come back to me. I take in a shuddering breath when he entwines our fingers, a soft gasp leaves my lips without my permission when he tugs hard, pulling me into the car more. I have to fight the instinctive need to fight against his hold or

    ALPHA XANDER’S POV I was done with my breakfast when Donovan walked into the room, his steps light and his face hard. "We need to talk." He says and I cock a brow, telling him to say what is on his mind but he shakes his head and tilts his head toward the door. I nod understanding what he is saying, he needs to talk about something private. I get up and follow him, a sense of unease settling in the pit of my stomach. Things never end well whenever he sounds like that. My brain has already come up with a thousand different reasons for why he has called me and what he has to say. I don't have to wait for long because as soon as we are inside the office and Donovan closes the door, he turns me. He turns to me with his lips pressed into a thin line,his eyes hard. "Is Adriana your mate?" He asks, his jaws clenched, the impression playing in between his scanty beards. I wonder where this is leading to, I wait for him to continue without bothering to reply to that question. “She is you

    ALPHA XANDER’S POV “Alexander, stop!” Donovan’s voice is just a breeze over my ears as I lunge for him. He is quick to slide out of the way. “Just see how you are acting, the old Xander would never try this.” His voice is loud, his words are angry but I don't care. My fingers extend into claws and I go for his jugular. I’m more animal than man, needing to feel his warm blood on my hand with the hopes that it will quench the rage burning within me. My hands sink into the shoulder of his dress shirt and I haul him up, all I can see is red. I drag Donovan up, his protests sounding like nothing to my ears. He is fighting against my hold, unable to free himself.i’m not letting him do it. “You will not speak to me this way.” I growl the command out. He growls in return, getting angry too. I feel his rage burning from within and it spurs me on. I do want this fight. The need to kill him has never been more and deep down, I know this isn't me. Even though he gives me shit sometimes, I k

    ALPHA XANDER'S POV I’d just returned from my run, feeling slightly better than I did before I left. I was restless through most of it but once I shifted and found that harmony with the earth, everything felt better and I was able to think clearer. I walk up the stairs, still trying to drag out my time before I get to work for the day. Daciana is at the top waiting for me, I groan lowly but don’t stop walking. She glares at me and opens her mouth to speak, I stop her with my hand raised and if looks could kill, I would have dropped dead. There are a lot of things she hated and one of them was being cut off, especially when it is done to dismiss her. I love her but I don’t have the strength to deal with that, or her. “I need to get ready for work, I’ll see you later.” I’m about a hundred meters away from her when I offer that explanation. She growls in a way that tells me it isn’t appreciated but what can I do? My shower is quick and I dress simply in jeans and a plain t-shirt. Sinc

    ADRIANA'S POVI followed Daciana out of the room, my heart racing with excitement. It felt good to be out of that stuffy, cramped space, and I couldn't wait to feel the sun on my face and the grass beneath my feet. As we stepped into the hallway, I was startled to see Donavan standing there, a sinister look on his face. He glared at us, his eyes cold and hard.His lips were curled back in a snarl, revealing a set of sharp teeth. He looked like a predator, ready to pounce on his prey at any moment.Whatever horrible things he was planning from the calculating look in his eyes, I know I will be at the end of receiving it. I shuddered at that thought and immediately looked away. I needed to be careful around Donavan, I may have only spoken to him a few times but there is this cold energy he has that doesn't sit well with me and for someone who has the bad luck of always attracting trouble, he is a trouble i shouldn't go close to. He has been cold towards me since the first time we met

    ADRIANA’S POV I hadn't seen Alpha Xander since the day in the hallway, along with Donovan. I can’t say I'm sad about it. I asked Daciana though, just to be clear if it is a normal occurrence or just a one time thing. She said it was because he was busy with pack work and general work, mentioning he was always like that. I felt instant relief. I slipped into bed and could have sworn I felt someone come into the room when I was sleeping, but I couldn’t be sure so I just passed it off as a dream. I woke up the next morning, slightly feeling better and stronger. I dressed in a simple sundress I’d found on my bed when I walked out. It didn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out who kept it there. Then I went and had breakfast with Daciana and Donavan in the dining room, I had barely slept at all. I’d almost tripped when I noticed him, he saw me too as soon as I entered and that made me forget about my escape. I was too nervous and anxious, my mind racing with thoughts of Donavan'

    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

    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

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
