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
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
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
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
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
XANDERThe ability to be soft with someone was one trait I never had.Maybe it was the thought of Adriana and how she would feel about this that made me do it. But I sat with Carlson and we spoke at length. I gave him step by step details on how to start tackling and fixing the bad decisions his brother is making.I saw he was happy to not talk about his fritter so I never brought it up.I’ve met the other brother, Damien. He never had it in him to the alpha. He wasn’t strong enough to be one. But according to the hierarchy, the first son is the alpha. In other packs, they could be beta but most weren’t like that.I was left alone in my office after I forced him to go to the pack doctor and get himself checked out. He insisted he was fine, which I didn’t buy. He wasn’t healing well, one glance at him told me that.And knowing Dreaya, her men were probably pumped full of poison just so they could be deadly to others. I couldn’t wait to watch her bleed out and die right in front of me.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
