**XANDER**Some part of me hoped Daciana had made a mistake. Even as I sprinted up to my room, I still hoped it was just a mistake and what she said wasn’t actually true. Or that maybe I mishear some part of her words. But as I got closer to my room, the smell of burning skin became too hard to ignore. My heart pounded in my chest. A ringing from nowhere filled my ears, making it hard for me to do anything. To even hear the commotion going on inside.Like I needed any more proof of what was going on.Donovan was right behind me as we both entered the room. There were multiple guards trooping between my bathroom and back to my bedroom that was now wet from all the water they must have poured on Adriana. She was still on the floor. Unmoving and the fire didn’t look like it was going to stop anytime soon. None of the men paid any attention to me as they kept going on with what they were doing. I made a mental note to give them gifts for realizing how important she is. I’m frozen in

**ADRIANA** Not again!!That was the first thing that came to my mind when I felt the sparks and a sudden coolness on my forehead. I knew when cancer walked don’t the room. But I was too immersed in the fire that was eating at me to focus on him. If it didn’t include me probably being burnt to death. I would have said I wish this would happen again so I won’t have to deal with all the things he makes me feel when he is close. Except, even with everything that’s going on. The moment he touched me, I forgot all of what was going on and my full attention went back to him. My body came alive from a single feel of his skin on mine. And damn it. I thought as I moved back so I could look at him. Only to find out the fire was now covering both of us. The man in black has been burned the money he came close to his skin hadn’t even touched mine. And Xander was touching my skin. And nothing seems to be happening to him. Just like me. He is only sweating profusely. “This is probably the wro
Lost Queen 130:
**XANDER**While I love every second of seeing Adriana’s body. It makes my cock so fucking hard when the need to be inside her. I wasn’t really in the mood for that right now. Trust me, I would throw caution to the wind if she gives me the free chance to do that. Because I just can’t say no to her. But that’s beside the point. And right now, we had bigger issues to attend to.“What was that?” I asked her, my eyes locked on her hands like they were the ones who’ll give me the answers I sought.Adriana looks as confused as me. Clearly not as bothered as she would be on a normal basis to be naked as the day she was born in front of me. She must be distracted. When being on fire and creating snow two seconds later would make everything else seems like a trivial issue. I didn’t know when the fire had even stopped. It’s just clicking now in my head. This would be the worst time for Donovan to be right. After I’d confidently said she had no ties to her witch mother. This starts happenin

ADRIANAXander smirks devilishly, seemingly too proud of himself and what he was doing.On the other hand, I wanted it burn the whole down and maybe my tongue along with it. The man already had a big ego. It was even bigger than the world. And still, I went ahead and said something that'll only make him more boastful.A cool shiver rolls down my spine, reminding me that I'm naked. For some reason, I'm not as bothered by it as I would like to be. But I use the little bit of sense that I have and walk away from the room towards the bathroom."You don't have to hide to fantasise about me baby, I'm all real here."I wanted to throw my head back and scream out in frustration. Xander is frustrating and he seems too happy with himself when he does things like this."Or maybe I'm trying to get away from you because you give me nightmares." "Oh darling," he laughs like it is impossible for that to even happen. "You may call it nightmares if it makes you feel any better. But we both know the l

**XANDER**I waited for Adriana to say what she wanted. This was the chance I know Dreaya might have been waiting for. There has to be a reason she hasn’t reached out for her daughter all this while.Or maybe there’s another reason for all the delay. I expected her to attack more than three weeks ago. But she has been quiet. And while I try to ignore it and pretend she doesn’t exist, I m always thinking of what she might be up to next. And the current fires and witchy shit going on in my house can’t just be a coincidence. But last I checked, most witches hated Dreaya. She was too power hungry, even for them. And witches are known for their greed. They won’t help her. There is just no way about it. Unless?Unless she promises them something that’ll be too good to pass up. What is that?My head perhaps? That’s a very good bargain if you know my family history. They’ve hated witches for as long as I know and vice versa. They are also the bitter people that’ll hold a grudge for more t
Lost Queen 133:
**ADRIANA**I woke up in a familiar, but unfamiliar bed. And even the room. It took me a whole ten minutes to recognize my surroundings. You would think it wouldn’t take long seeing as it was the only place that I don’t have any nightmares off. Unless the ones that involved Xander. I stretched and threw my legs off the side of the bed. Feeling a weird sense of happiness for myself. Finally, everything was going back to normal. This was a good sign. A very great sign at that. Voices came from downstairs. I could hear children playing outside. It all sounded normal. The usual before I envy this place and went to Xander’s pack. I was about to get up and walk out when the door opened. My lips spread into a big smile when Ursula and Kian walked into the room. She came in before him. And both of them had sullen expressions on their faces. I expected them to acknowledge me of course. And maybe even ask how I’ve been. But they barely even glanced at me. They just looked around the room w

**ADRIANA**I wanted of ask what exactly she meant by that leap of faith. But the shaking was getting more vigorous. Like the house was going to topple at any moment. Which is a bad thing. I didn’t need crazy voices to tell me that. “Nothing is going to happen to you. Stay still.” The voice was commanding down. It felt like a physical pressure of being pulled down and being forced to seat. And that would have kept me rooted to my spot but it had already made adrenaline rush through me. And sitting still is seeking more and more impossible by the minute. I balled my hands onto tight fists. The only that felt real with all that’s happening. I could feel my nails digging into my palm and probably drawing blood. Not that I cared. “The more you move, the worse it gets. So stop moving.”I snap my head in the other direction of the room. Hoping I could see the face of the woman talking so I could smack her. She was starting to get on my nerves. “I’m not fucking moving!” I don’t know wh

**XANDER**Donovan is having the time of his life since Adriana’s disappearance. And while he has sworn to be multiple times he wasn’t exactly happy about her going missing. He couldn’t hide his joy for some reason. “Hey, I know you think that I hate you.”He said to me last night after we had a meeting so we could discuss how to go about this. With Adriana not currently present. I’ve become more of my old self. I haven’t decided if that is a good or a bad thing yet. But I’m not going crazy and searching for her. Mostly because i feel that she is okay. Don’t ask me how i know. I just do. And I know it’ll sound crazy to any other person. So I don’t bother mentioning it. Daciana has been holding a grudge against me because of that. She thinks I’m not doing anything to try and find Adriana. And while that is not the case, I didn’t have any solid evidence to give her. So she’ll see that I didn’t do any of the million horrendous things she thinks I’ve done.Adriana is the one person I’ll
