Lost Queen 99: On The Street
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
Lost Queen 100: One Strike
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
Lost Queen 101: A Liar's Personality
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
Lost Queen 102: The Truth
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
Lost Queen 103: Sweet Dreams
ADRIANAI kept asking myself if I could do it. I didn’t want to. But at the same time, I couldn’t stop it. And I didn’t know what that was.I’ve never had trouble like that before. Though a rage I have never experienced gripped me and consumed me. And I hated the very sight of Xander.My mind was pushing me to do something terrible to him. I didn’t even know what but it had endless ideas. So I tried to get away from him.The only thing I thought of that could be fast and effective was getting out of the car. So I tried to do that. But of course, he didn’t let me.I tried telling him what I was feeling and why I needed to get away. But I couldn’t speak normally.And I was losing the fight and control by the second.A raging fire had started in my chest and it was spreading through my whole body. It didn’t matter how much I tried to push it away.I had never felt that so I was lost, and I had no idea what I was doing. I had no idea what to do and how to stop it.I tried everything peopl
Lost Queen 104: New Person
XANDERThe house felt deserted and dark, and cold. All the things I used to love but now loathed with a passion. I could feel Adriana’s absence in every corner, every wall and piece of furniture that I passed.I wish I could say I was pissed off by what she did. I really hoped I would be. But I wasn’t. I felt oddly proud of her and her strength. Knowing she could probably go toe to toe with Dreaya if it comes to that.I’m always worried her mother would do something terrible to her. That bitch doesn’t have an ounce of compassion in her heart. I could still remember the detached look on her face when she drew that knife across Adriana’s throat that time.Sure, she didn't die. Or she came back, in more precise words. But I was familiar with the spell she wanted to do. And it could have gone wrong at any point and Adriana would be dead.It didn't matter how powerful or experienced she was. Sacrificial magic could be rejected or accepted. And it was just sheer luck it was accepted.I have
Lost Queen 105: Dead Beat Fathers
XANDERDonovan kept asking what I was going to do about Adriana. I said I’m nothing.He looked at me like I had grown two heads then he called me out on the obvious lie, but I wasn’t about to back down.“You can follow me if you like.” I told him as I got up from the chair at breakfast the last time we spoke. “You have no work to do anyway. Maybe this will give you some purpose.”He looked offended by the comment. Not that it would deter him from following me around if he really wanted to.The truth is, I don’t plan on actively searching for her. I know this is probably one of Dreaya’s plans.It all looks like something she would do. Messing things up while I was distracted so she could easily find a way in to finish what she started.And about Adriana. I didn’t even want to deep dive into that, I know I’ll almost lose my mind if I do.I buried myself in work. Occasionally checking my cameras as I’m used to. Only this time, I keep seeing my empty room and very empty bed.It hurts ever
Lost Queen 106: Beta Has No Power
XANDERCarlson tried to walk around it when I asked him to tell me in full details what happened between him and his father. I knew the man was shameless. Have known it since he willingly agreed to sell out his only daughter to me because he wanted something.He had a plan with Dreaya. Which only made him more stupid in my eyes. Out of all the people in the world, he chose to trust that bitch with his life.“Where is Adriana?” Carlson asked after ten minutes of nothing but silence.He looked lost in thought, almost like he was reliving what happened between him and his father. I was eager to hear where he found the man. He probably won’t be there right now. It’ll still be good to know, though.His hesitation might be due to shock or another thing. You can never get over someone who is supposed to love you unconditionally, doing this shit to you.“I know I’m probably the last person she wants to see right now,” he cleared his throat and looked down. “But she is fine, right? You’re trea
