ADRIANAI knew I wasn’t in my bed when I woke up. Everything seemed off the second I opened my eyes. It didn’t even have anything to do with the dark…everything in the room.Just something didn’t feel like I was used to. And instead of panicking and looking for how to get the hell out of there. I was looking for how to cozy up to the big warm teddy bear next to me.I think my not getting out of bed had more to do with the teddy keeping me down.Not, not teddy. The second that sandalwood scent trickles into my nose, I knew it wasn’t a teddy. Why the hell did I even think that? I didn’t even have that many pillows on my bed, least of all a teddy.Xander. I felt the urge to pluck his eyes out in case you were wondering. He was happily sleeping. With his big ass tree trunk of a hand pinning me down.I wanted to get out of the bed, but I was also scared to wake him up. Or at least I told myself that.It had nothing to do with how good he felt. And did I need to mention his scent? Amazing.
XANDERAdriana shudders against me which you can already guess didn’t help. I am convinced she is doing this on purpose but she doesn’t exactly look ready to take it anywhere.I shouldn’t forget. She can be a fucking tease when she wants to. And right now, must be one of those times.“Stop.” I growl as I nibble on her earlobes.My little wolf, who I’m now seeing really does have a devil steak in her, moans. It was soft, slightly high pitched. So perfect, it had pre-cum leaking from my tip.An animalistic sound tore from my chest and I switched our position. Now she was the one lying on her back and I’m above her, I hold my height on my forearms which are on both sides of her head. She looks up at me, her bright eyes dark and daring. And she slowly licks her lips.Fuck me.The devil, I tell you.“Are you ready to finish what you started,” I lean down, very close to pressing my lips against hers.It takes every ounce of self control that I have to not actually do that. Capture her lips
ADRIANAXander is trying to make my heart stop. And that made me think he doesn’t want to kill me. Not by himself at least. He’ll let me do that all by myself while he watches from the sidelines.Well, he isn’t watching right now.That annoying voice in my head speaks. Referring to his unconscious form lying beside me. It took a lot of effort to get him off of me.The man is a heavy load of muscles. And as strong as I thought I was, I couldn’t just push him off me.One second, he was speaking, the next, his eyes closed and he fell on me. His entire body weight pushed me into the bed. He stole my breath, in a totally different way.I called his name a few times, thinking it was one of his tricks. But after my breath really started coming out in short gasps and I realized I was losing air. I did what every smart person would do and pushed him, with all my strength. I was lucky he didn’t crush my arms, if he had. Then they’ll probably pick my dead body up whenever he gets up.It took me
ADRIANAI didn’t bother with lotion when I walked out. I went straight into trying to find out where my dress was. It wasn’t on the floor along with the rest of Xander’s clothing. Literally nothing of mine was there.The other option I had was to go out and check. Which, like I said, wasn’t really an option. I’m sure they know Xander hasn’t come out all morning. What am I supposed to say when they ask me where he is? Something tells me he isn’t the type to sleep in, either. So I couldn’t say he was still sleeping.And if I manage to convince them he is sleeping. How will I get out of here when I don't even have clothes?So far, the only available option is the shirt I took off. I don’
XANDERI watched in horror as Adriana’s eyes closed. I couldn’t tell what overcame me. But something about her being her usual self didn’t sit right with me.While I was on top of the world seeing her look at me like I was the best thing that happened to her. It didn’t feel right.And then I forced myself to wake up from the dream. If it was even a dream.I thought, if somehow I was seeing the old her and conversing with the old her. She shouldn’t have been that worried about me. I know she had feelings for me, but she wasn’t in love with me. Even if it hurts to admit.Dreaya got me, I’ll admit.For a moment I got lost in the euphoria but I was lucky enough to realize that fast. What was hard was breaking over whatever shackles she put on my mind. Imagine my surprise when I found myself holding my mate by the throat.She looked scared. Terrified. And I wanted to cut my hands off from my body and throw them away. There is no way to punish myself for what I did. Even if I wasn’t in my r
XANDERPaying no heed to the dust and grime on the floor. I stepped barefooted into the inner chamber, staring at the container that held my father’s head.Well, the sperm donor. He was never a father to me.I had the best scientists in the world find a way to reserve it. Because I needed to be seeing his lifeless eyes. To see him be turned to nothing but a body part in a box. And to know I did that.Right now, it doesn’t make me feel better.I want him alive again so I can kill him one more time. I want to watch the realization hit him once again. To let fear overtake him until he starts being scared of his own shadow.Dreaya had helped with that. Her best suit was manipulation and she used that.As good as she was with spells and magic, nothing could beat the damage she does with her mind. And she takes pride in that.You could never beat her when it comes to mind games. And my father had no chance. He ended up here because he betrayed her.I still don’t know what he did to her. But
XANDERI don’t know what came over me. After everything I told myself about control and how losing it close to her would be dangerous. I still fucking lost it.Before I could think to stop myself. My hand moved as though it had a mind of its own and I smacked the transparent glass holding my father’s head. It hits the ground, crashing instantly, the liquid inside splashing on me and the floor.Dreaya cackles loudly and she shakes her head.I looked up in horror, panting heavily.The sight of her wet dress hits me like a ton of bricks and I don’t know when my knees hit the floor. Right into the wet puddle that has mixed with the dust and every other thing the fl
ADRIANAI woke up in a dark room, I felt like I was tied up. I had no recollection of what happened or how I ended up there.The feeling only lasts a few minutes. And by the time I was fully awake, my memories were back and I was hit by a wave of anger. All directed at the man that has me locked in this room. I did try the door and it didn’t open.That reminded me of something. That feeling like I’ve been in this exact situation before but I don’t really have any recollection of it.I yelled and banged on the door, threatening to bring hell to Xander and his pack if he didn't let me out. My cries fell on deaf ears because the door wasn’t opened. In fact no one came to my aid. And I haven’t seen the cause of my distress or even heard his voice closely.There was a window, which I thought of climbing out of. But just the sight of the distance between it and the ground had me rethinking.I decided to take the risk when no one came for me even a day later. It didn’t budge. It seemed like
