Lost Queen 9: Arrogant Male
ADRIANAI hear when he comes in. My back stiffened and my heart raced in my chest. My hands which have been cold the entire night are now sweaty and clammy.I maintain my cool and wait for him to approach me.We both know I know of his presence, not that it makes me acknowledge him. According to what mum said, his arrogance wouldn’t let him leave. Being ignored is one of the things he hated.I hated men like that. Albeit, I haven’t met anyone like him in my current life. In the past, probably. Everyone in the pack is like family and they are humble.His footsteps are loud in the quiet room. You can’t hear the sound of the party from here. That must be why mum picked this room.I took in a small unnoticeable breath, reminding myself why I need to do this. I’m nothing like the Adriana he used to know. He should know this by the end of the night.“Not a big party goer.” He says, coming to stand beside me.“Mostly the ones where clothes are taken off in public.” My voice comes out cool an
Lost Queen 10: Mafia Airtight
XANDER“Remind me again, why are we throwing a party?”Daciana asks the same question she has asked five times already. each time, I give her no reply because she wouldn’t believe me anyway.“And why do you care so much about how it is planned? You usually avoid this like the plague.”“I felt like throwing a party, so I’m going to do it.” I replied. We both know that is a fucking lie.I hate parties and I hate throwing them even more. I didn’t have to perform any host duties. The people who make the invite list are usually fucking elated to be there that they know not to talk to me directly. “Bullshit.” She grumbles. “You’re hiding something, and I’m going to find out what.”She points a finger at me, squinting her eyes as she walks out of the room without turning back.Without her breathing over my shoulder, I pick out all the things I want faster. The organizer looked like she couldn’t wait to get the hell out of here. When I told her she could leave, I heard her sigh of relief.It
Lost Queen 11: Party Games
XANDERThe party has been in full swing for two hours now. Everything is exactly the way I wanted it to be. Yet, I was fucking pissed because she hasn’t shown up.At first, I wasn’t bothered by her lack of attendance, coming up with endless excuses for her. She must have gotten delayed or something happened to her car.The guy I have back at the hotel confirmed that she hasn’t left her room since she went to pick a dress up.I was dying with worry. Did something happen to her or did she simply not want to come?I even went as far as considering this was all delusion on my part. That I had made her up because I didn’t want to believe Adriana was gone.The man isn’t delusional, because what are the chances he is thinking the same thing I am. She is real, and she is not here.“Your special guest still hasn’t arrived?”I ignored Daciana’s taunting question, promising myself the next time she asked, I’m going to knock her the fuck out.“If you told me who she is or what she looked like, I
Lost Queen 12: Color Of Blood
ADRIANAI hear it then, in the rough edge of Xander’s voice, in the way he makes me tremble even without lifting a finger toward me. I see the reason why he is so feared.He could pretend to be a gentleman all he wanted but he couldn’t shake the monster he was underneath. He can wear a designer suit and comb his hair back, every single strand bent to submission atop his head. But that doesn’t mean he has control over his basic urges.And last, his stride, always so confident and a tad bit too arrogant, had so much to do with that power. Not the one he showed the world, the one he hid carefully.It made me wonder how much more they would really fear him if they knew what he was capable of. What he was truly capable of.I hide the tremble in my hands, the feel of his monster, so close. The heat from him simmering under his host’s body and seeping into mine, like a slow poison.This is the first time I am meeting Xander’s wolf like this.I don’t recall anything about it. There is no fami
Lost Queen 13: Man In The Woods
ADRIANA“Your mother sent word,” I sat up hearing Henry’s voice.It lacks the usual friendliness I was used to.“Oh, what did she say?” I get up so I’m standing in front of him.“That we should return soon. And no more doing things that weren’t part of the plan.”“Alright. I’ll get packing.” I said, walking into the bedroom from the balcony.When he’d pulled up to this duplex after we left Xander’s place late last night. I knew I wanted this room the second I saw the balcony.It was in the middle of nowhere and it looked like something my mother would pick. I hadn’t even realized there was somewhere for us to go to instead of the hotel.The initial plan had been to go back to the airport and get on the next flight out. Before he told me we weren’t going there, I thought the tickets had already been booked. Turns out, that wasn’t it.Henry said it was because Xander would have his men everywhere looking for us. Well, me.He also informed me that they’d raided all the cars, but there wa
Lost Queen 14: I Miss You
XANDERThe shock on Adriana’s face is everything.After she made her escape last night, or at least tried to. I let her leave even though it killed me because I wanted her with me. But after our conversation, it was obvious she wasn’t there for reconciliation or to even listen to me. The last thing on her mind was listening to me.So I let her leave, only to follow her after.When they couldn’t figure out which car she had gotten off from, I ordered my security to put a tracker on all the cars.To my surprise—not really—the other seven cars headed back to the hotel while one went the opposite way.I still had a man down at the hotel so I would know if she was there. But she wasn’t.Unable to sleep, I followed the woods that night. Lo and behold, a big ass house in the middle of nowhere.This has Dreaya written all over it.“I want nothing to do with you, I thought I made that clear last night.” She says, now glaring at me.Her green eyes would have softened the blow of her words if sh
Lost Queen 15: Scents
ADRIANAIf only looks could kill, then I would have rid myself of Xander.Unfortunately, I do not have that superpower. And it didn’t matter how scathing my glare was or how hard I glared at him, nothing happened.Even his smug smile was still on his face. Damn it.“You’re delusional.”I retort weakly, not having anything better to say.“You say delusional, I say hopeful. Little wolf.”He says with a smirk.“Get off me, then we’ll see just how hopeful you are.” I faked a sweet smile.The way he chuckles tells me sees right through it, and that instantly makes my smile drop.There is no winning this guy. He is too fucking smart and not very trusting. I would have been more annoyed by all of it if I wasn’t impressed.“I’m hopeful, not stupid. I know you’ll try to knock me out the second I release you. You won’t succeed.” He gives me a bright smile. “But it’ll waste my time, and your protector will be up any minute now.”My brows creased at the mention of Henry. He does have him. Not tha
Lost Queen 16: War
XANDER“I’m finding your new interest in the outdoors highly suspicious.”Daciana speaks from behind me. I don’t turn to look at her, knowing she’ll make sure I see her soon enough.Without wasting another second, she eliminates the distance between us. Walking the rest of the way. Standing beside me on the terrace, looking over the rest of the estate.The night is dark with no moon and rarely any stars in sight. The front of the house is illuminated by the multiple security lights. Giving it a glow more beautiful than it should ever be.“You know, I still remember when this was being built.”“Renovated.” I corrected her.I don’t turn to look at her, but I know she rolled her eyes. I could feel it.“Renovate, build. Same difference.” She waves a dismissive hand. “All that matters is how far we’ve come from there to here.”“Feels like a day.” I muttered underneath my breath.It felt like it was just yesterday. But I could almost feel all the years in between. The distance. The wars. Th

Lost Queen 159:
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
Lost Queen 158:
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
Lost Queen 157:
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
Lost Queen 156:
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
Lost Queen 155:
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
Lost Queen 154:
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
Lost Queen 153:
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
Lost Queen 152:
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
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
