ADRIANAMy eyes with that of the future. I had to look up to meet her gaze. And she was starting at me with almost daring eyes. I didn’t know what she was daring me to do. But I knew damn well I wasn’t going to do it.This would be a really good time for Xander to wake the fuck up. How is he this man that the whole world fears and then he is put down by a wooden stake.You know very well that’s not just a wooden stake. This woman looks like she just came from the pits of hell.Right. Pits of hell!The realisation slams into me so violently that I find it hard to catch my breath.I recall a conversation I had with my mother about it. Spirits from the pits of hell. It wasn’t the literal hell we believed you would go to after you die and all. It was more of an artificial prison created by witches to punish those that strayed against their people. And most of them were powerful as hell.But how mum said it was locked airtight. There was no was someone made it out.Except, I’m looking at t
XANDERIf I never believed in the power of will. Well, I do right now.Because I don’t know what else to call the power that made me fight off the pain that rendered my body paralysed. I even have more beef with Dreaya because of all the kinds of people she is bringing into my home.My body shook with pain. A burning in my chest that I couldn’t explain fills me and I felt sweat trail between my brows. I could hear muffled voices. I knew one was Adriana,. But I couldn’t tell the other one.I had to get out of this. Away from this miserable situation and get to her. Every nerve ending in my body was going off, telling me there was something terrible close by. I couldn’t handle it. All my thoughts were negative. An image of a bloodied Adriana is the most reoccurring one.And the smell of blood all around me wasn’t helping.Fuck it.I called my wolf forward. Since he was also on edge, he was quick to respond. We didn’t have to say anything, he knew what to do.Before I could blink. He pus
XANDERBoth Donovan and Daciana listened to me attentively as I narrated all that happened in the past few days. I was told it had been almost a week since I disappeared. While with Adriana, it was just a day or so.I rally was gutting tired of that shit.“I just have one question,” Donovan spoke, his forehead creased in concentration.From all indication, he was about to piss me off. I’m giving him a pass just because I know he is trying to hide how worried he is by being an asshole about it.“—is this going to be a normal occurrence? Like, will we just wake up one day and find you missing, then we’ll expect you to reappear after a week or a few weeks?”Pressed my lips into a thin line. Reminding myself it wasn’t him I was angry at. It was everything else tat was going on.“I would say no. but seeing as they don’t ask me for an invite before doing that shit.” I sighed. “Let’s just see what’ll happen.”They both nod. But I could see they weren’t exactly happy about the train of events
ADRIANA“—But I can’t deny she has been more of a bad influence than a good one as of recent. And it’ll be better if you cut her out your plans and just focus on something else.”My hand freezes above the door I was about to knock on.I was feeling bored and I felt like I could have handled the situation with Xander better. So against my better judgement, I decided to find him.The house was so large so it wasn’t an easy feat. Not to forget, bad things happen when I walk in to rooms so I make sure to avoid them. I started relying on his scent, which leads me to a room on the ground floor. I couldn’t remember when last I found myself here. So I gave it a thorough look now that I was out here.There weren’t much people here. Wait, scratch that, there was’t anyone here and I thought to myself. I could make a clan escape. And by the time Xander figures out I’m gone, I’ll be far away.I would find the cottage mum said was protected and he couldn’t get into. Then I’ll stay there until I fee
ADRIANAXander looked between us wit obvious confusion. Before realisation slowly dawned into him.He sighed and shook his head before nodding to the man I always see in black. And I never want to be left alone with him.Daciana stared at me for a long minute without blinking, or saying anything. She gave up in the end and started walking away. I expected her to go and help the other man who was helping the one I hit. But she walked past them, not even sparing either of them a glance.I could see the looks the other two men were giving her, but the other man refused to even look up. The way she refused to glance at him was the same way he did to her.The was obviously something going on there, but I had way too much on my plate to worry about what’s going on in other people’s lives.Xander and I stay standing on opposite ends. Neither of us saying anything to the other. Even after the others left, leaking just the two of us. He breathed out.I turned to him, the same time he also turn
XANDERMy nostrils flared in anger and jealousy as my wolf comes to life.He didn’t like the sound of what Adriana just said. A part of me knew it was just something she made up to try and get on my nerves. And fuck if it didn’t work.The dark and twisted part of me suggested I hold her against the wall and make sure she forgets the touch of any other man from her body. He suggests so many depraved ways to physically carve out their memories from her body.I have to shut my eyes and regulate my breathing to fight it.I’ve always know that the dark part of me was stronger than the light. The good side.My father made sure he eliminated every ounce of goodness I had in me. He did the most sickening thing to me and made it seem like it was normal.“What did you just say?” I slowly pronounce each word I utter.Adriana looks hesitant for a moment. But she fights that side of her that loves to submit and squares her shoulders.I’ll have to admit it made me harder. And the need to claim and
ADRIANAThere is no way I’m making this mistake again.Is it really a mistake if I keep doing it. Instead of learning from the first one.It would be a really great time for me to think with my head and not the pulsing between my thighs. But God, what Xander was doing to me with his mouth felt so good.Who knew I had such sensitive breasts.Well, maybe because no one has explored my body but him. No one has touched me in an intimate way or seen me naked the way he has.The honest any other man has gotten was that kiss with Kian. And we all know how that ended.I only said I’ve been with other guys to get on his nerve. I didn’t anticipate his reaction.I may have secretly hoped he would be disgusted and decide to never touch me again. Even if I knew that was unlikely. But I didn’t think he would be driven by lust so much that he doesn’t seem to care. And to me, it is just like it made him want me more.I hated it.It feels so good.There were two parts of me. Having two opposite reacti
**XANDER**I have been feeling anxious in the past few days. You know that feeling you get when something is about to go wrong? Like a complete sense of doom. The calm before the storm. Whatever you may call it.I've been feeling all of that.You may say I have gotten paranoid. I was suspicious of everything and everyone. Waiting for soemthing to just go wrong but nothing has happened yet. Adriana seems calmer. She even smiled at me this morning. I had to look over my shoulder to be sure no one was there. And sure enough, it was me she was smiling at.I had to ask her if she was feeling under the weather. Or if she hit her head perhaps. She’d only rolled her eyes and said that’s why she didn’t like being nice to me.I’m sorry if I was shocked by her. She has never acted that way before. Not even before the whole Dreaya thing happened.“Are you actually going to work or will you keep daydreaming about your little mate?” Donovan of course has to always disturb my peace. “Never thought
