Chapter 29

I like you better

*

Adriana could feel her heart thumping, not just because of the question but also because of how close he was to her.

She could feel her female hormones respond to even his voice. She knew he had his effects on her, a whole lot of effects.

"I asked you a question Adriana or do you want me to.... To find that out myself?" Xavier asked, his hands caressing her face slowly before tucking strands of hair behind her ears.

Even such little acts from Xavier were making Adriana lose it gradually, she loved how gently his fingers grazed her skin but she knew this was a bit right, he was the enemy's son, her prime target as a replacement for the death of her brother.

"B... Boss, please ask questions only related to business and please address me formally too" she said, finally pushing him off her.

"Okay, Miss Adriana. As a new employee, I gave you such a simple task, take pictures and all you could do is take your

    Chapter 30*Adriana removed the stressful heels and threw them to a side of the room."That arrogant playboy!"She fumbled with pulling off the clothes and eventually did so.Adriana stepped into the shower."That playboy! Asked me to kiss him and still yet tells that Emilia he likes her better" she grumbled out loud." This sounds to me like you are jealous, are you?" Whix asked." Of course not" Adriana replied quickly." C'mon, it's normal to be jealous. After all, he once had your heart or maybe he still has...."" He does not! I have cut off all ties with him Whix. He has no place in my heart. I only care about Aunty Sarah, the coven and you" Adriana replied." It's so nice to hear such a caring sentence from you"" I have always been caring" Adriana chuckled.*" Really? You like me?" Emilia asked, grinning widely." Of course I do but right now I am tired and I need to rest.

    Chapter 31The heat*Immediately Xavier was gone, the workers of the promotion department gossiped amongst themselves."Do you think the boss had eyes on the girl?"" Of course he has, why else would he scold us for her?"" But he had a mate already"" It does not matter. Boss is rich, he is handsome, he can take her as a side chick, I only wished I could be taken as the side chick also"" Silly you"*Xavier saw Adriana staring at the cups of each person's orders in front of her.He could guess that she was thinking of how she was going to carry it once.Xavier didn't want to go out to help her, she wouldn't come back to him if she doesn't get jealous enough.He spotted two young boys and waved them to come."You see that lady there, help her with the things she wanna carry. Here you go" Xavier said and handed the boy a bundle of money."Just.... Just to help her?" The both of them a

    Episode 32Emilia's dirty little secret*Xavier groaned seeing the manager. He slowly and hesitantly let go of Adriana.Adriana moved backwards and smoothened out her dress, wiping her lips like she didn't want the kiss.She sent him a hard glare, huffed, and walked out."I am sorry for interrupting" the manager apologized as Xavier took his seat.Xavier could not understand why things had to be foiled just when he had Adriana already."You ruined things already""But boss, it's the heat period and you now have a mate, why don't you spend it with your mate instead?"Xavier almost blurted that he was spending it with his mate before he interrupted but he bit his lips."I... Just forget about it"*Adriana just couldn't believe how easily she had melted in front of him.She wanted to scold and nag at herself for drowning in his kisses, she wanted to yell at herself for still yet loving his tou

    Chapter 33.Why did you reject me?*Adriana walked to a room and knocked on the door, there was no response so she confirmed that the room must be vacant.She pushed open the door and her eyes surveyed the beauty of the room. Her lips parted into a smile as she plopped into the soft bed which accommodated her warmly.She dug her face into the pillows and giggled before throwing the pillows up and catching them mid-air.She loved the room, it was sparkling clean, too clean for an abandoned room. Adriana wondered about how many maids the moonstones family must have to be able to keep this huge mansion super clean always."Just let me be Red!!" Adriana heard someone scream, that was definitely Xavier's voice.She had just chosen the room next to Xavier."I am too unlucky, I even chose the room beside this playboy!" She grumbled." Whatever" Whix said in a tone that made Adriana understand very well that Whix wanted to b

    Chapter 34Is he jealous?*Adriana gulped hard and blinked severally. That wasn't a question she could reply to, she couldn't tell him about her revenge plan.That would be ruining all that she had worked for with Aunty Sarah all her life."I don't want to talk about our past Alpha Xavier"" Our past?" Xavier scoffed.He was starting to get pissed off at how much Adriana was playing and toying with his emotions.He could hardly believe that she called all that they had shared in the past. Xavier stood up in a fit and stormed off from the garden.He got to his room and was highly relieved that Emilia was not there anymore.He locked the door and lay on his bed. Xavier shut off every thought from his head and allowed sleep to take him off into the fantasy world.*Adriana stood up from the grass and heard inside the mansion, sighing from time to time.Her thoughts were really jumbled up and she couldn'

Adriana demanded but Xavier didn't give it back.He blacklisted Jeremy's contact and stood up in a way that showed how annoyed he was."Why are you angry all of a sudden boss?" Adriana asked." Why am I angry? You... You are at work right now, how can you bring in personal things such as calling a guy right in front of your boss"" I am sorry boss, can I have my phone now?"" No! You are not getting back your phone till you are closed for the day" Xavier grumbled and headed towards the car.Adriana grabbed her purse and ran after him. He got into the car and Adriana did the same."Which meeting are we going to be attending?" Adriana asked." We are going somewhere else, not for a meeting" Xavier replied, his face still squeezed in a frown and his lips formed a pout."I thought we were goi

Am I the one supposed to pick those things into the car?" He asked but she kept mute and pouted more which gradually awakened his sexual appetite.He gulped and tried to focus on the discussion and not on her lips or her body."I am asking a question, were you thinking that I was getting all of those things for you? Why would I get them for you when I have not gotten things for my darling Emilia yet" he pressed on and Adriana snapped her head towards him.She seethed and gritted her teeth in anger before facing the other side and looking out of the window."Miss. Adriana, are you by any chance jealous?"" Jea... Jealous? I am not" Adriana denied but even she knew that she was. All her actions had pointed towards only one fact 'She was

Alpha Collen asked, his voice full of venom as usual and Xavier could see that apart from the fear in Adriana's eyes, there was something else... Was it hatred?"Continue thinking and watch our mate get killed in an instant" Red called out to him and Xavier rushed towards the both of them and stood in front of Adriana."Xavier, what are you doing?""Father, I sent her to your room" Xavier lied." Really? For what?"" She is my personal assistant who I hired from the Night Walker's pack and I had her go to your room to ask you what you would like me to get for you. I will be going shopping tomorrow" Xavier lied smartly." Oh, then why is she so scared?" Alpha Collen asked." That's definitely because she fears you a lot, Father. She told me how much she fears you

I am pregnant with our child" Adriana's voice came again, cracking badly."Father, you would not dare to kill her" Xavier said, with more determination in his voice than ever. The fact that his baby was in her fueled his anger against his father.The sword poked Adriana harder and she began to bleed slightly. Without another thought, Xavier grabbed the silver bullet on the floor and a gun that laid carelessly Faraway."I swear father to whatsoever you believe in. I am going to shoot you if you hurt her" Xavier said and instead he laughed, yeah Alpha Collen just laughed."We both know you love your daddy and you would not try to harm me," Alpha Collen said and poked Adriana even harder earning a whimper from her.But then Alpha Collen was wrong, he could try to harm him and that was precisely what Xavier did. Setting apart the love he had for this evil man he had

    Chapter 103Xavier, I am pregnant*"Nooooooo!!!!" Adriana screamed as Aunty Sarah's hands dropped."Aunty Sarah!!" She screamed, feeling a deep pain of loss. Xavier had never lost anyone to death before in his family, they were all with him but here she was, she had lost every single person she considered family to Alpha Collen."Aaaaaaaaargh!!" Adriana screamed out loud as her shape shifted into her wolf form, her wolf form seemed to have some protruding parts that made it seem like feathers were attached to her back.Adriana rushed over to Alpha Collen who was trying to pick up the sword and hit him away, she hit him off with her snout and punched hard on him, her four legs landing on his chest harshly making Alpha Collen groan.Adriana hit him away with her snout again and sent him into the walls, shattering the walls behind him as he crashed into them. Adriana was furious and even though Xavier screamed and screamed, begging her to l

I thought I had taken all of you down!!" Alpha Collen yelled with venom in his voice."You wish!" Aunty Sarah groaned at him."A... Adriana" Xavier called but Adriana squeezed her face into a deep frown, she did not want to talk to him now or in the future, she had betrayed him and she was going to know where she belonged by staying apart from him."Back then everything was so perfect, we were all living together, there was not even a single fight but your lust for power, Collen, you did not want to go with the post of the beta and you used her for it, you used Adriana's mother, my own sister as an excuse!" Aunty Sarah said with bitterness in her voice."Do you know how much... Just how much it hurts to see everyone I was familiar with dying?! And

Adriana asked with a faux chuckle."Who are you?!" Alpha Collen yelled at her."Hey no yelling at me""Anyways I am your worst enemy, the one you thought dead, the one you would not love to see, you remember me now? Of course, you don't! You must have done such things to like a thousand people tan you can't remember which am I but do you know the difference between me and the others you have offended?

    Chapter 100Check out your sword*Adriana walked down the aisle, staring at Xavier who was smiling at her nonstop in happiness that was clearly written on his face while he waited for her to get to him.Xavier was glad that things were going to go well with his mate, he was already imaginings perfect life with her, she was going to tell him all about her secrets and then they were going to live happily ever after, he thought.Adriana tried her best to keep a smile on her face as she got to Xavier but the smile kept fading each time her mind wandered off. Xavier smiled nonstop at him and Adriana tried her best to return the smiles but it was pretty unsuccessful, Xavier raised a brow noticing her mood along with the fact that he could not feel any sort of happiness from her.He could feel her sadness, Adriana claimed to love him so why would she be unhappy about the marriage."Xavier" Adriana whispered, the priest had asked the questio

    Chapter 99Time to leave*Adriana stood right in front of the woods, this was it, she was going to betray Xavier's trust in her.She remembered his words clearly when he had told her that he was trusting her to keep the moonstone safe and within the pack and she was sorry she could not adhere to his words, this was what the moonstone pack deserved for going against her family and the coven, this is what Alpha Collen deserved for killing her family.She walked into the woods and quickly found her way to the location of the moonstone. She passed through each lock with ease and finally she was standing before the moonstone.She gazed at it for a while and sighed.."I love you. I really do love you Xavier but still yet I have to do this to you, I have to betray your trust" Adriana mumbled and it seemed like moonstone shone even brighter for a split second.Adriana reached out for the moonstone and carried it gently in her hands, the stone

She moved onto the stairs and they really did a good job holding her up.As she journeyed through the stairs, she could scent out energy and power, this energy and power did not belong to a werewolf. No! Adriana took in the scent deeply and her eyes shot open."A witch!" She mumbled and increased her pace, getting done with the flight of stairs quickly.And there at the end of the stairs was an old woman, the witch Alpha Coll

I am here now" Adriana said and brought her food over to Xavier while Laura walked over to Jeremy."Here, that's my food." Adriana said with a smile on her face as Xavier uncovered the food and took in the delicious aroma.Xavier picked up the spoon and was about to scoop some of the mea

    Chapter 96Till the last blood in me dries up*Adriana and Laura stood still in the restroom, Adriana felt her head spin, this was not good news."You do not seem too happy" Laura noted out and she was just absolutely right, Adriana was pregnant with the one she was going to go down to war with, how in the world should that possibly be a thing of happiness for her."I... I..." She stuttered, not being able to say anything, she was dumbfounded, she was shocked, her eyes were now getting teary."Alpha Xavier loves you right? And you both are getting married tomorrow, the pregnancy should actually be a thing of joy" Laura said but there was no way Adriana could explain to her that this baby was definitely going to grow up without a father's love cause by the time she would give birth, Xavier would be far away from her, there was no way she would be able to explain to Laura that the baby might even die before she found a way to get rid of him.
