Lost Queen 140:
XANDERI knew she would make the wrong choice. Donovan was never interested in the women that had working brains. Though to be fair, no one with a brain would fall for his charms. He screamed red flags from a mile away. His little ex girlfriend, as soon as she realized she could use her magic, tried to hex me. I can’t tell if she was just overwhelmed or simply stupid. There was no way I would have let her be free if I knew she would be able to get to me.Don’t get me wrong, lycans are strong. But a lot of these witches are into black magic.She got out of her chair first. It happened in seconds and I appreciated how fast she was with her job. Fast but not really effective since she didn’t use her head.I gave her extr points for not attacking Donovan first. It means she knows how to be the bigger person. We’ll work well together. The sound of her voice spitting out another spell that was meant to do me harm pulls me from my trains of thoughts. I’ve heard the chant multiple times
Lost Queen 141:
ADRIANASince I slept the other day, it has become part of my routine. Staring at the wall for hours. Falling asleep. Waking up. Arguing with Alaina. Then staring at the wall and sleeping again You can tell it’s already starting to mess with my head. Because when I wake up the next day or two days later. I’m still confused about the timeframe. The bed was steadily vibrating. I reached and grabbed one of the few pillows on my bed and pressed it over my head before I screamed into it very loudly. It didn’t stop the vibration. Which I kind of hoped it would. But I didn’t hold any high expectations. “Everyday with you is something new.” Alaina’s voice sounds shaky over my vibrating ears. I know it has everything to do with me and nothing to do with her. “I’m glad I’m being a good source of knowledge to you.” I mumbled sarcastically. “Thank you. I appreciate it.”I couldn’t tell if she missed my sarcasm. Or if she was just saying that so I don’t piss her off. I doubt humor was inven
Lost Queen 142:
ADRIANAThe door to the room cracked open. I didn’t know it had a creak but the sound it made when it was being pushed open made all the hairs on the back of my neck stand. For a second, I thought it would be either Kian or Ursula. Or even anyone from the pack. Neither of the former had returned since the first day that they came on and I didn’t see me. It was both a good and a bad thing. While on one side, I would have loved the company. Even if they didn’t know exactly what their presence here was doing. But on another side, the thought of being present but invisble gutted me. And I knew it would hurt a lot more when I realized and had to live through that. My thoughts are cut short and I’m forced to return back to reality when I felt a slight breeze on my shoulder. It makes my skin breaks out on goosebumps. Everything about what’s going on shows this is bad. And something bad is about to happen. I should run. I think to myself. But run where?If there was a chance for escap
Lost Queen 143:
ADRIANAAs soon as Alaina said those words, I turned back to the woman in utter shock. Now that I knew it was a she. I noticed her silhouette was slightly feminine. She’d paused what she was doing. Her shoulder stiffened. Though I couldn’t see her face so I didn’t know what her expression was like. But if I had to guess, I would say she wasn’t very happy her plan was ruined. On the other hand. I’m trying to regain composure. Because ntbeyart was pounding in my chest. It was so loud that it drowned out Alaina’s voice or any other voice on the room. I tried to pull my hands away from her so I could use it to block my ears. I felt like my eardrums were going to burst. But she refused to let go. “L-let me….” I stuttered the words I wasn’t sure I understand myself, talk less of her.She refused to heed to my request. And I didn’t know why but I started fight her. Desperately trying to get away from her.Being in her hold made me feel entrapped. She wasn’t doing anything particularly ba
Lost Queen 144:
ADRIANAI wanted to laugh in Alaina’s face. Except she didn’t sound like she was hoping. I couldn’t see her face or tell her expression.Nothing about her demeanor seemed satire though. I still had a frozen smile on my face. Because of the shock. I was even confused so much that I didnt know the appropriate response. After what felt like forever. My face muscles relaxed and I flexed my jaw. Then I turned in the direction I assumed Alaina was. “What the fuck does that man?” I blurted out in panic. I don’t give her a chance to reply before I add. “How do you wake up the dead when they are already dead?”“You’re still too young to understand—““No.” I cut her off. “No! NO!! NO!!!” My voice got preferably louder with every word. “You’re not going to start telling me stuff like that and then pull the I’m too young card. I’m not and you’re going to tell me everything that is going on because it affects me as much as the next person.”I’m breathing heavily by the time I’m done. So much tha
Lost Queen 145:
XANDERGetting the witch to do what I wanted was surrounding easy. Which made me get suspicious instantly. No one agreed to soemthing that easily unless there was a catch. And especially witches. She wanted something and it isn’t what she asked for. I even thought she would want to torture Donovan. Which he deserved if you asked me. But she pretended she didn’t even notice him throughout.And since I couldn’t show my suspicion. I chose to have her watch at a close range. I have way too much going on with other ancient witches to worry myself with some other one. I got her a room to work on her things. She was going to get me Adriana’s location and on extension Dreaya’s pack’s location.I told myself I did this because of the latter. I’ve given up on Adriana. It was a lie I was telling myself. Because I knew damn well she was the reason I was even bothered about any of this. She has been for almost a month now. If I didn’t lose my mind before? I’m on my way there now.I go straight
Lost Queen 146:
XANDERThe crowd that had formed outside the house parted as we reached them.Most of the warriors standing didn't say anything to us. But from their expressions, I knew whatever was there couldn't be good.Daciana was the first to stop when we reached what had seemingly gained all their attention. Or rather, who."Adriana." She breathed out, the relief obvious in her voice.I stood back, staring at the crouched figure in front of me. A fist clenched around my heart. Squeezing it for all it is worth.I couldn't see her face. Seeing as she was hugging her knees to her chest, trying to shield her naked body from the people standing. But there was no denying it was her.Even if I didn't know every part of her like the back of my mind. I would know it was her."Look away." I didn't know when I roared out.The fee men who had been looking. In wonder, rather than admiration spun on their heels at once.I pulled my jacket off and threw it over her shoulders. She was quick to grip it and hug
Lost Queen 147:
XANDERThe messenger looked exactly as I thought he would. Dressed like he was born three centuries ago and holding a handmade bag close to his chest like he had some treasures inside. If he was worried by the fact that the meeting was in the underground part of the house. He didn’t show it. He just lowered his head in greeting and waited for me to direct him. Something about him kept me on edge so I paid extra attention to all his movements. He looked nothing more than a scared intermediate at first sight. But I know Dreaya wouldn’t send someone she thought was pathetic. So by all means, he was more dangerous than he looked. “I have a message for you, your highness.”I had forgotten when last I heard that title. I couldn’t help cocking a single brow at it. He wasn’t even looking at me in the eye to see my not very impressed reaction. “What is it?” I grumbled, seeing how he was making no effort to show me what he had with him until I spoke. He took a slow step forward before stop
