ADRIANA’S POVI DIDN’T THINK THIS THROUGH! I should have thought this through before I decided to lie to Xander that way. God, I’m so dead.He is still waiting for a reply, but my brain has deserted me. The little traitor that started this and ran away at the first sight of trouble.I knew I was playing a dangerous game, but I didn’t expect him to take it too far. I thought he would just laugh, give his sister a thumbs up or maybe even go and meet her to be sure what I’m saying is right. I didn’t think he would ask me to tell him all that. I just told him what I thought he would like to hear so he would leave me alone. Now it has backfired in the worst way possible.I have to think! I should THINK!!My brain is running, trying to think of all the things I’ve heard people say around my old pack. The other cleaning lady and her friend that come in once or twice a week. They were usually talking about things that made little sense of me. God, I wished I’d paid more attention but I never
ALPHA XANDER’S POVI don’t want to believe what she is saying, for no other reason than it would be hard for me to keep the vow I made to myself about respecting her. Even when I wasn’t sure she was pure, untouched, I still wanted to respect her. But this, hearing her confirm her innocence to me, it’s driving me mad. Of course, I have no reason to not believe her except for my own trust issues and paranoia, but I have taken a look at her and I’ve seen her naked—for a split second and it was enough to drive me mad with need—I don’t know how she was able to stay away from men for eighteen years.I know a lot of she-wolves save themselves for their mates, but many are getting reckless now. They believe, if the men get to do whatever they want before they settle with a family, why shouldn’t they?And for a man who has a healthy appetite, I don’t see anything wrong with that.The possessiveness running through my blood, the craziness at hearing I’ll be the first man to have her has me alm
ADRIANA’S POVSomething heavy is weighing me down, is my first thought as my eyes flutter open. I try to breathe in through my mouth to control the panic but my body has already entered alert mode, my chest constricts as I desperately try to fight the invisible rope tied around my neck, stopping the air I’m gulping from reaching my lungs.The weight shifts, coming off completely and I’m able to breathe again, and that is what I do. I gulp in a much needed air, desperately though my mouth.“Shit,” a man’s deep voice says and that does nothing but fuel my panic. My eyes are open but everywhere is so damn dark, I can’t even see my hands in front of me.Damn weak genes. Situations like this make me hate how I was born, make me hate that I don’t have a wolf and their ability to see okay at night.“Adriana,” I shiver when I hear the voice say again. It is a man’s voice, quite obvious, and the heavy weight on me must have been his arm. I don’t even want to let myself think of the situation t
ALPHA XANDER’S POVI did a lot of things I never thought I would last night. I fucked a virgin, we don’t have to focus on the part that I didn’t even actually fuck her. No, I fucking made love to her. I went slow because I didn’t want to hurt her.Then the little detail that I did sleep with her, I said I wasn’t going to do that until we were married. But the moment I had her back pressed to that bed, I knew I wouldn’t be able to get up until I knew what she felt like wrapped around me. And she felt like heaven, now I don’t know how the fuck I’m not supposed to want to do that again.The third is, I got in bed with her, after I cleaned her up. I’ve never done that. I barely look at the faces of the woman I fucked when I was done with them. She’d rolled over to the side of the bed, arms wrapped around her and her eyes tightly shut. She wasn’t sleeping, but I let her believe I fell for it.Over all, I felt bad, and that is something I should never associate with sex, especially one as g
ADRIANA’S POVI instantly know I’m being watched, even before my brain fully wakes up from sleep. I stay in the bed unmoving, trying to steady my heartbeat so as not to alert the other person in the room with me, but knowing Xander, he probably knows I’ve been awake since before I even accepted that.I take in a deep breath and flick my lids open, one lid at a time. My eyes fall on Xander’s, his obsidian eyes looking darker than ever if that is even possible. I can’t make sense of the heat that washes through me as his gaze sweeps over my lying form, and I’m suddenly very aware of my state of undress.“Hello, little wolf.” His voice is deep, raspy. Almost like it was last night when he groaned in my ears as he….no, nope. I’m not going to let my thoughts wander.I feel better now than the first time I woke up, which thankfully means I won’t have another meltdown after remembering I gave my virginity to the one man I hate more than anyone in this life.“Are you okay?” His voice is still
ALPHA XANDER’S POV‘Xander! Get the fuck down here!’I’M GOING TO FUCKING KILL DONOVAN. I growl, scaring my mate which only makes me want to kill him more.“Sorry, sorry.” I whisper, placing gentle kisses all over her shoulder. She shudders under me and a smile tugs at my lips. My little innocent wolf has a wild side in her. I can smell her musky arousal, it’s heady and I’m shaking with the need to sink myself in her again.I hold back, my entire body bunching with the effort it is taking. Her pussy scorches my hand and I’m not even touching her yet, she is so freaking responsive I’m obsessed with her, her scent, the way her little untouched virgin pussy tightens around me. Whether it is my hand or my cock, she is snug around me all the same.‘XANDER.’ I groan this time and make the biggest sacrifice the world has ever seen by getting up. Not for any reason but because I need to go down there and kill Donovan. Brother or not, I’m going to fucking end him for this!My mate’s eyes snap
ALPHA XANDER’S POV“Who the fuck is dead, Donovan?” I growl, my hands balling into tight fists.“Calm down, man.” He raises his hands up in surrender. He sees that I’m not in the mood for jokes and he sighs, runs his hands through his hair before finally speaking. “Khai.”I throw my head back and curse. I wasn’t fucking done talking to him, but I felt so much better for some reason knowing it wasn’t that damned Aiden that was dead. I know Adriana will take it a hard way and I have no idea how to explain it wasn’t some fucked up plan to kill him under the guise of it being a fight. I’m surprised by my own thoughts because I should be worried that the only person that has the information on Adriana’s mother is dead.“Fuck,” I groan. Closing my eyes.“Why did you want him alive anyways? I thought he was with the rest of the pack and you killed off all of them?” I nod, then shake my head when his questions fully register in my head.“No, he isn’t part of them.” He looks confused, I exhale
ALPHA XANDER’S POVI knew something was wrong the moment we stepped into the dungeon. There were blood smudges on the wall, a few pieces of someone’s insides that I don’t really want to make out what they are on the dirty bloody ground.“This is a fucking massacre,” Donovan mutters from behind me, he walks further and fans his hand over his face. Trying to get rid of the metallic smell of blood and the dark smell of death in the air.I can’t help but agree. The sight was gore and if I haven’t seen worse, I would have had trouble sleeping tonight. “Something isn’t right with all of this,”“It’s too wild for the man?” Donovan asks, his brows creasing. I shake my head and purse my lips, looking down at my feet where a piece of clothing lay, from a cloth being torn definitely.“No, it’s a little too convenient.” I mutter, crouching to pick it up. I hold it between two fingers and immediately smell a wolf on it. “Did they clean Aiden up?” I ask, looking up at Donovan who was looking at me
