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
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
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
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.
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.
ADRIANAI think I’m starting to become too familiar with death. And I didn’t like it very much.I was barely having steady relationships in the real world. I’m not about to start others in the afterlife.I’ve been locked in this empty abyss for days. Since there was no difference between night or day, I didn’t know how many days it had been. I only know that I’m sick of being here. And I wanted to leave. But there was no way to communicate with the outside world. I tried the tactic mum taught me. Even that didn’t work.Without the ability to escape from my head. I was locked in that dark room for what seems like forever.What was the most weird about it was the feeling of deja vu I had. Like I had been there before. Or in this type of situation. There was no way to control it when I was down here with no one to talk to.After what felt like years, I finally felt something. Another presence close to me. I tried speaking to it. The person approaching me. Or so I think. The second I turn
ADRIANAIt takes me about five minutes to catch my breath and wait longer to start seeing clearly.The dim lights in the room certainly did not help with that. And I could swear my eyesight was good when I was in my mum’s pack. But since I came back here, it has been shit.I couldn’t see well in the dark. Which has never been the problem since I got reunited with my wolf. Now though, it is pretty much back to how it was before I met her.When I was in my old pack. I could barely see, barely hear any better than a human and I couldn’t move fast like the rest of the wolves. Which was a great disadvantage in a pack where you’re always bullied.My mind was running. Different images of the great disadvantage I used to be in slipping into my memories.A certain tall blond haired boy. I wasn’t sure about his name but he seemed to be everywhere. Most of the time he was hitting me or hurling insults at me. I couldn’t tell why he hated me.I knew it wasn’t happening in real time. It was like wa
XANDERAdriana flinches and moves back when I try to hold her. I didn’t understand her reaction. But I don’t push her, knowing that would be the worst thing seeing how she was acting.After retracting my hand that was reaching for her, I glanced down at my body. I felt the cool air hitting me in places it definitely shouldn’t be unless something was wrong. And something was wrong. Because how the fuck was I not wearing clothes?I’m completely naked with my dick jutting out. A bead of precum at the tip.“What the fuck?” The question slipped from my mouth before I could control it.There was a lot of crazy shit going on right here and I‘m kind of sick of it.Seeing as I was naked and didn’t feel my dick becoming fucking hard. Then I would say that is not fucking surprising anymore. I should just expect everything to happen.But before I can get to that. I needed to fix this immediate problem that has me looking like a pervert in Adriana’s eyes.What would she think if she thought I want
