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

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
Lost Queen 149:
ADRIANAWe went back to the top of the house. I wanted to ask Xander what he was doing down there with an inhuman man that came close to killing him. But seeing how he was himself, he probably won't take me bringing up how he had almost been bested a few minutes ago."You have something to say." He mutters just as we got to the door of his office. I didn't know why I followed him here. But I saw him heading there and I just followed. "How did you guess that.", I kept my voice flat, trying to not give any of my thoughts away. "Just a hunch," he turns to me after shrugging. His hand was on the doorknob but he doesn't turn it and open it. "And I called your name thrice but got no response. You were deep in thought." He smiles, stealing my breath. "It wasn't really that hard to guess."I bit my lip. Asking myself if I wanted to give him the benefit of being right. I wouldn't kill me. But it was surely annoying. "I was just reliving the horror of watching you almost lose your life," ag
Lost Queen 150:
XANDER“Are you talking to someone?” I asked Adriana, staring at her. She looked like her attention was elsewhere even though her eyes were still on me. And I could have sworn I saw her jump earlier. Like how you would if someone spoke to you when you weren’t expecting it. “Me? What? Huh?” That confirmed all I wanted to know and I gave her a pointed look. “Don’t try to change the topic.”Her cheeks darkened as she tried to look away. She isn’t a very good liar. Instead of pushing her to talk. I decided to let it go. Knowing I’ll find out what’s happening if I put my mind to it.It had more to do with the fact that I didn’t want to upset her. If I’m being honest. And I know the best way to get on her bad side is by pushing her. Maybe it was because of what happened before. I’ve come to realize she hates when ever being put in a position where she seems less than anyone else. She is above everyone else to me. Though I understand where she is coming form. It’s why easily let her di
Lost Queen 151:
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
