Lost Queen 101: A Liar's Personality
XANDERDonovan is still looking at me like I have lost my mind. When the only person who could be crazy here is him.None of what he said made any sense. And he isn’t making sense minutes later.While I would like to believe he wasn’t trying to be petty with his whole thing against Adriana. He is not really giving me much to work with.And now, we were trying to find our way back home again.Seeing Daciana in the car didn’t convince me any more than his words did. She loved Adriana and she wouldn’t do anything like this to her. And she was a party animal. She probably went to another party.I was probably worried and went to search for her. Then some animal hit my car and the driver got burnt alive.That seemed more possible than whatever story Donovan stirred up.It still doesn’t explain why I can’t remember shit.I’ll figure it out in due time. Now, we need to get home so Donovan can see that Adriana is there and she is fine. She didn’t do any of this.She says she would kill me. Bu
Lost Queen 102: The Truth
XANDERI was out of the car and in the house a second after Donovan’s comment. I know he came after me, I couldn’t be sure about Daciana. But knowing the state she must be in, I know she wouldn’t risk it by running.I’m gliding through the multiple flights of stairs. This is the fastest I’ve ever run in my entire life. Even with my lycan speed and everything. I felt I was being slow.I throw the door to my room open. Expecting to find Adriana in the bed, how I knew she last was after I tucked her in. The worst thought I had was, I would find a clone version of me, which would be Dreays’s doing of course.But the bed was empty. And made. It was clear to see it hadn’t been laid on.“Do you believe me now?” I ignored Donavan’s gloating voice from behind me and moved further into the room.I yanked the covers off. Though it wasn’t covering anything. I would have seen Adriana if she was on the bed. Unless she was invisible, which was another option I would take over whatever the hell this
Lost Queen 103: Sweet Dreams
ADRIANAI kept asking myself if I could do it. I didn’t want to. But at the same time, I couldn’t stop it. And I didn’t know what that was.I’ve never had trouble like that before. Though a rage I have never experienced gripped me and consumed me. And I hated the very sight of Xander.My mind was pushing me to do something terrible to him. I didn’t even know what but it had endless ideas. So I tried to get away from him.The only thing I thought of that could be fast and effective was getting out of the car. So I tried to do that. But of course, he didn’t let me.I tried telling him what I was feeling and why I needed to get away. But I couldn’t speak normally.And I was losing the fight and control by the second.A raging fire had started in my chest and it was spreading through my whole body. It didn’t matter how much I tried to push it away.I had never felt that so I was lost, and I had no idea what I was doing. I had no idea what to do and how to stop it.I tried everything peopl
Lost Queen 104: New Person
XANDERThe house felt deserted and dark, and cold. All the things I used to love but now loathed with a passion. I could feel Adriana’s absence in every corner, every wall and piece of furniture that I passed.I wish I could say I was pissed off by what she did. I really hoped I would be. But I wasn’t. I felt oddly proud of her and her strength. Knowing she could probably go toe to toe with Dreaya if it comes to that.I’m always worried her mother would do something terrible to her. That bitch doesn’t have an ounce of compassion in her heart. I could still remember the detached look on her face when she drew that knife across Adriana’s throat that time.Sure, she didn't die. Or she came back, in more precise words. But I was familiar with the spell she wanted to do. And it could have gone wrong at any point and Adriana would be dead.It didn't matter how powerful or experienced she was. Sacrificial magic could be rejected or accepted. And it was just sheer luck it was accepted.I have
Lost Queen 105: Dead Beat Fathers
XANDERDonovan kept asking what I was going to do about Adriana. I said I’m nothing.He looked at me like I had grown two heads then he called me out on the obvious lie, but I wasn’t about to back down.“You can follow me if you like.” I told him as I got up from the chair at breakfast the last time we spoke. “You have no work to do anyway. Maybe this will give you some purpose.”He looked offended by the comment. Not that it would deter him from following me around if he really wanted to.The truth is, I don’t plan on actively searching for her. I know this is probably one of Dreaya’s plans.It all looks like something she would do. Messing things up while I was distracted so she could easily find a way in to finish what she started.And about Adriana. I didn’t even want to deep dive into that, I know I’ll almost lose my mind if I do.I buried myself in work. Occasionally checking my cameras as I’m used to. Only this time, I keep seeing my empty room and very empty bed.It hurts ever
Lost Queen 106: Beta Has No Power
XANDERCarlson tried to walk around it when I asked him to tell me in full details what happened between him and his father. I knew the man was shameless. Have known it since he willingly agreed to sell out his only daughter to me because he wanted something.He had a plan with Dreaya. Which only made him more stupid in my eyes. Out of all the people in the world, he chose to trust that bitch with his life.“Where is Adriana?” Carlson asked after ten minutes of nothing but silence.He looked lost in thought, almost like he was reliving what happened between him and his father. I was eager to hear where he found the man. He probably won’t be there right now. It’ll still be good to know, though.His hesitation might be due to shock or another thing. You can never get over someone who is supposed to love you unconditionally, doing this shit to you.“I know I’m probably the last person she wants to see right now,” he cleared his throat and looked down. “But she is fine, right? You’re trea
Lost Queen 107: Weird Feeling
XANDERThe ability to be soft with someone was one trait I never had.Maybe it was the thought of Adriana and how she would feel about this that made me do it. But I sat with Carlson and we spoke at length. I gave him step by step details on how to start tackling and fixing the bad decisions his brother is making.I saw he was happy to not talk about his fritter so I never brought it up.I’ve met the other brother, Damien. He never had it in him to the alpha. He wasn’t strong enough to be one. But according to the hierarchy, the first son is the alpha. In other packs, they could be beta but most weren’t like that.I was left alone in my office after I forced him to go to the pack doctor and get himself checked out. He insisted he was fine, which I didn’t buy. He wasn’t healing well, one glance at him told me that.And knowing Dreaya, her men were probably pumped full of poison just so they could be deadly to others. I couldn’t wait to watch her bleed out and die right in front of me.
Lost Queen 108: Behind Closed Doors
XANDERI willed myself to forget about everything Daciana just said. I didn’t think it would be easy but the moment I got to my floor, my thoughts automatically switched to Adriana.As much as I wanted to feel pissed off knowing that she was with her mother. And also knowing she was probably in on whatever stupid plan Dreaya has. I wasn't worried about that. I was more worried for her than anything.Dreaya didn’t look like she was joking when she said she didn’t have any use for her anymore. And I know what she usually does to people she felt were no longer of us to her.But, it could also have been a ploy for me to think that so I could trust Adriana with everything. The thing is, she didn’t have to lie.I knew I shouldn’t trust her. I knew it was wrong. But I said fuck it. Even now, I didn’t care and I would say fuck it one million times more if she were to come back. I’ll bare my soul to her. Give her a silver dagger and trust that she wouldn’t stab me in the heart.Call me crazy.
