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
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
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
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
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
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
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
ADRIANAI’d been sitting in Daciana’s room after taking the shower she suggested. She mentioned a bath which sounded really great but my mind wasn’t really on that. I felt like there was something I had to do. And a bath would take too long. How i ended up back here remains a mystery to me too. As the last thing I could remember was that place where i saw my mother. Next thing, i was feeling like i was in a freezer and men were yelling all around me. They’ve thought i was a threat at first. Seeing all their weapons pointed at me didn’t make me that nervous. Maybe it was the stupid trust I seemed to have for Xander that made me feel confident they wouldn’t hurt me. Or anything. I just know that I wasn’t nervous. I’m even more restless now than I was then. I haven’t heard from Alaina. And since she didn’t exactly me give me the ghost witches hotline. I had no way to reach her. I’m not even sure I want her to come back. Although I have to admit, all the time we have spent today has m
XANDERI couldn’t mistake the pleased look I was seeing on Adriana’s face. Something about her possessive turns me on beyond inhibition. Without thinking to stop myself, I thrusted upwards, entering her and buying myself to the hilt. Her warmth clamps around me in a vice. It is the best thing I have ever felt. I gripped both sides of her waist and led her movements as she slowly adjusts to me. Since she was very wet. But after a few thrusts, I could easily slip in and out of her. She held her hands on my shoulders for balance and rode me like she was born for this. Made for me.We were perfect for each other. Perfect like this. Our bodies tailor made and fit like a glove. No one could ever compare. When she came, she cried out my name. Her voice hauntingly sweet. I know I’ll need forget it. It influenced my own orgasm. I started moving roughly . Ravaging her like she was my last meal and I was a man starved. I moaned her name and bit down on her neck without thinking. My fangs sunk
ADRIANAI didn’t know what came over me. I was just feeling a raw hunger for Xander and no matter how much I tried to remind my brain that he is the enemy. It didn’t work. If anthijg, the craving only got worse. In the end, it won. And I found myself doing things I didn’t even know I was capable of. The scene seemed like something out of a porn movie. Not once did it feel like i was actually the one doing that.Even though the emotions racking through my body was more than enough proof I’m not watching it from a third pov and in the one actually starting in it. I didn’t believe it. I felt Xander’s trailing up my inner thighs. It pulls me from my thoughts. “What are you thinking so deeply about?” He murmurs, placing small kisses on the exposed skin of my shoulders. We’re lying in bed. Well, I was sitting and he is doing the same now.We had sex again. Neither of us could stop it from happening. It is like our bodies were tired of the fights and constant back and forth. So they to
XANDERI half expected to wake up next to dead flower or something. But it was Adriana on the bed. I couldn’t explain accurately what I felt at that moment. I stared at her. Something warm and sickeningly sweet overtaking every part of my body. Her wake naked body pressed against mine has my morning wood straining under the covers. It doesn’t help when she lets out a soft moan as she turned and threw her leg over mine. I held back a grunt of my one when her knee teases the tip of my back. She was still fast asleep from the looks of it. So she wasn’t doing this on purpose. A devilish voice in my head suggested I reach under the covers and sink into he warm heat. It sounded like a good plan. The idea turned me on even more.But I held myself back. Last night hadn’t been in the cards. It happened and I’m definitely not complain . I just won’t take advantage of the fact that she is sleeping to get myself off. If we’re going to have sex again, it’ll be becaus she’s exclusively makes i
ADRIANAI almost smiled at how cute Xander seemed, trying to progenr me from seeing the body of the dead woman. Cute had been the word that came to my head. And it’s funny how I was relating that to, debated, the scariest man on earth. I met him carry me to his room. It felt extra nice for some reason. Maybe it was his attention on me. Or the way he was extra careful. You would think he was carrying some kind of prized possession. Knowing I was being respected like that made butterflies swim in my stomach. He deposited me on the bed. Gently. Then he walked to the bathroom. I was about to call him back, thinking he was trying to get away from telling me what he mentioned. But he stopped and turned by the door. “Give me a moment to freshen up then we can get this over with.”I nodded. Not really knowing what to say. Should I say I was feeling nervous? I didn’t know what exactly he was going to say. But it definitely involved my mither. I haven’t fully recovered from the dream I ha
XANDERAdriana and I stay in the quiet office for what felt like forever. The dead body growing cold by the minute. I had spared her a glance fo make sure she was fine. Seeing someone be killed right in front of you is horrendous. I was forced to witness this when I was five years old.I know how damaging it is. And she has probably never seen anything like it. She looked fine surprisingly. Save for the shock you could see. Nothing was amiss. I made a mental note to call someone for cleanup. But to actually mindlink them to get it done seemed like hardwork. The weight of what just happened settled in much later. Getting on my nerves more. What the fuck was Donovan thinking? This was the only hope we had. Now what does he expect us to do? And better yet, what the hell did she find out what she was about to say? Why did he stop her?I’ve known him for all my life. So I definitely know he has a reason for doing that. Donovan never does anything without thinking it through. Among the
ADRIANAAll three of us pause in shock after the loud thud of a body meeting the ground.Not that I recovered from the earlier one since Donovan walked in. It didn’t even have much to do with his foreboding presence but rather the unexpectedness of his presence. And for him to see us in such an…intimate position. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to face him again.I had found solace in Xander’s body. At first it was because I didnt know where else to go and it seemed like the safest option. I didn’t have a shirt on for God’s sake. And I wasn’t about to let him see me like that. He isn’t even someone I like particularly. If anything, his presence scares me. And I’m not about to add more reasons why I shouldn’t be anywhere close to hi. This time it would be because I’m traumatized he saw me naked and very close to sleeping with his brother. Damn Adriana, you are really gone. The thought of what mum would think crosses my mind. But for the first time in a long while, I didn’t really
XANDER“Holy shit.”The unexpected voice makes both Adriana and I turn towards the door where Donovan was standing. His mouth would be on the floor if it was physically possible for that happen.I almost bark out a laugh when Adriana ducks, after making a be dry funny sound. She ended up falling into me, since I was kttong directly in front of her. It must be because of the shock because she throws her arms around my neck and buries her head in the crook of ny neck. I have to force the effect her body has on mine to the back of my head. Because one, Donovan is still standing there and his eyes were on her. A loud growl rips from my chest. “Stop fucking looking at her!”If she wasn’t in my arms, I would have punched his eyes out of their sockets.The only thing saving him from me right now is her. And these damn binds that has my movements limited. How fucking well did she tie the tie? You would think she’d cemented my hands together or something. “What do you want?” I snapped wh
XANDERTeasing Adrian came at the cost of just sanity. But she owned every part of me so it was a small price to pay.As long as I’ll have her squirming in my thighs. The scent of her arousal the onky scent in the room. It fills my nostrils. And even at that, I inhale again deeply because I’m just greedy like that. “What kind of game is this?” She says, her voice slightly breathless. She tried to sound normal though she wasn’t successful. Her hands tightened on the edge of the desk. If she removed it and is as indents from her fingers. I wouldn’t be surprised. “A game I guarantee we’ll both like very much.” I replied in a raspy voice. Her breath hitches when I place a kiss where her neck and shoulder meets. It is one of her sensitive spots. She reacts perfectly by jumping a bit, offering the perfect friction to get my dick moving. He’s liking her very much now. I haven’t felt this calm in days. Weeks. Heck, even months. There was no war in my head. No voice arguing or fighti
ADRIANAI didn’t know what to say to Xander after his… confession?It didn’t help that he looked so sure when he spoke. There was no ounce of doubt in his voice. He knew what he was saying. And he was sincere. I didn’t need to Alaina to tell me that much. And it seems, she knew that part too. Everything was confusing. And how he acts makes it all the more crazy for me. The version of him in my head and the version of him I’ve been with for the past few months are entirely different people. He has also made it clear that he just changed. This isn’t how he was before. He changed for me. Anyone would be happy to hear they have such a powerful man wrapped around their fingers. On the other hand, it just made my life more complicated. I knew he was bad. If he had shown me that side. I wouldn’t be in this situation now. But he was different. He caused differently with me especially. And, he was painfully honest. I never knew I would be so annoyed at the thought of so some being uprig
