XANDERThroughout the flight, Donovan kept yapping about things I didn’t care about. And I wanted to punch him more times than I cared to count.When we finally landed, I could have gotten on my knees and thanked the creator. And I’m not even a religious man.The car ride wasn’t easy either but at least he got distracted with saying stupid things. Like fantasizing about what we might find if we go there.“It is not everyday you get invited to an all girls club. What do you think is going on there? Lesbian orgies or maybe a nude fashion show?”I glared at him and he threw his head back, laughing loudly like he just said the funniest joke in the world.“Take a chill pill, Xander. You’re too uptight for my liking. Damn, you can’t take a joke anymore.”He says more things underneath his breath. Not that I cared to listen. Especially because we finally reached the house where he said their location was.We got out of the car and stopped outside of the house. It asked us for a password. Don
XANDERTo no one’s surprise. The woman called Donovan’s bluff and didn't come back outside. After that, we spent more than fifteen minutes standing.The sky was already starting to become dark as the sun had set a few minutes ago, and we were still standing here.Donovan, the clueless being that he is, had the gall to act surprised that his threat and namedrop didn’t work.Was I surprised? No. Did I expect it to happen? Yes.But I didn’t tell him that, he looked broken enough from not getting his plan to work out.The backup I asked for arrived five minutes ago. And they were just waiting for my order to go in. I don’t know what is making me hesitate. I know Adriana is in there. On any other day, I would have stalked in there and thrown her over my shoulder.“Well, what are you waiting for?” Donovan growls in frustration.He has a plan of going in there and getting the woman who had played him. And he looked serious about it too.“Give it a few more minutes.” It is almost seven and I
ADRIANAIf you asked me how we went from playing games and chatting to full on dancing and partying, I couldn’t tell you how. I just knew I was enjoying everything that was happening.Daciana had her arms around my waist as we danced to the pop music playing loudly from the speakers.After going to that quiet and serious looking room. We realized, well, I realized, that the club, or whatever you called it, had different groups. And our floor had the most fun.Though all members could change from different floors. Depending on what they were in the mood for.A sexy song comes on and Daciana starts moving in a way I have never seen before. She looked so sexy and free. I was smiling and cheering her on, my attention fully on what was happening in the middle of the room. Our makeshift dance floor.Suddenly, everywhere went quiet and I could have sworn it looked darker too. I was still drunk out of my mind so I thought I just didn’t blink and my eyes darkened. But after closing and opening
XANDERI’m close to bending Adriana over the closest solid surface I can find and fucking the alcohol right out of her body.I don’t know what the fuck she is thinking, grinding on me like this. But the more her thick ass moves against my dick, the harder it is to think straight.The audience we have disappeared from my line of vision and all I can see and feel is her. Even with the hundred other different scents in this place. The strong smell of alcohol, different fragrances and scents of other creatures. All I can focus on is her. Her slightly citrusy scent that switches between wild flowers and sometimes vanilla.Need rocks through me with an intensity I haven’t felt before. And I ball my hands into tight fists and press them to my sides. I have no idea what I’ll do if I touch her.“Are we going or not?” A hand on my shoulder pulls me from my trance.I’m pulled back to the real world. I can hear people’s chatter and whispers. They are staring at us. The heat of their gaze followin
XANDERPain shoots through one side of my head making me curse as I try to force my eyes to open.What the hell is going on? I ask no one in particular, still trying to move my hand and legs. Heck, every part of my body.I have no experience with paralysis but I felt paralyzed right now. And why the hell were my eyes not opening? Unless I’m blind too. That didn’t seem likely.I tried to recall what happened last night but my mind was blank. I have no memories whatsoever. I couldn’t even remember my name if I was asked that right now.I hear the dragging of feet. Like someone is walking, or at least attempting too. From the sound I was hearing, their feet were barely leaving the ground.A shadow stands overhead. I only know this because the brightness from the sun is reduced by a lot.“Xander.” I felt something on my shoulder. “Xander!” The voice comes again. It sounded familiar but distant. Which shouldn’t be, since it must be the person touching me that is talking.Or was my ear not
DONOVANOh shit.That was all my brain was able to come up with. I didn’t want to believe what Xander was saying was true.I have my issues with him. But I’m usually the one lying in our relationship. Or whatever it is we are.He has never once lied to me. Not about little or big things, and definitely not about something like this. I just couldn’t wrap my head around the fact that he doesn’t know what happened.When I saw him not moving. I got scared. I have never seen him look like that.But fuck. He is The lycan king. Just one accident shouldn’t do anything to him. But that is the thing, it wasn’t an accident. I watched it happen in real time and nothing about any of it was an accident.I felt he was holding back. He wouldn’t ever hurt Adriana even if she was holding the only weapon that could kill him in her hands.He is completely enamored by her. Just watching him be with her makes me sick. Because it wasn’t the Xander I knew. Not the one I grew up with.He spent many centuries
XANDERDonovan is still looking at me like I have lost my mind. When the only person who could be crazy here is him.None of what he said made any sense. And he isn’t making sense minutes later.While I would like to believe he wasn’t trying to be petty with his whole thing against Adriana. He is not really giving me much to work with.And now, we were trying to find our way back home again.Seeing Daciana in the car didn’t convince me any more than his words did. She loved Adriana and she wouldn’t do anything like this to her. And she was a party animal. She probably went to another party.I was probably worried and went to search for her. Then some animal hit my car and the driver got burnt alive.That seemed more possible than whatever story Donovan stirred up.It still doesn’t explain why I can’t remember shit.I’ll figure it out in due time. Now, we need to get home so Donovan can see that Adriana is there and she is fine. She didn’t do any of this.She says she would kill me. Bu
XANDERI was out of the car and in the house a second after Donovan’s comment. I know he came after me, I couldn’t be sure about Daciana. But knowing the state she must be in, I know she wouldn’t risk it by running.I’m gliding through the multiple flights of stairs. This is the fastest I’ve ever run in my entire life. Even with my lycan speed and everything. I felt I was being slow.I throw the door to my room open. Expecting to find Adriana in the bed, how I knew she last was after I tucked her in. The worst thought I had was, I would find a clone version of me, which would be Dreays’s doing of course.But the bed was empty. And made. It was clear to see it hadn’t been laid on.“Do you believe me now?” I ignored Donavan’s gloating voice from behind me and moved further into the room.I yanked the covers off. Though it wasn’t covering anything. I would have seen Adriana if she was on the bed. Unless she was invisible, which was another option I would take over whatever the hell this
