Xanders POVJust five minutes after Roselyn left, the door suddenly swung open again and he sighed thinking she had returned."Sir you can't do that!!!" Lucinder protested.What was it about today and meeting exes? Helena's ex fiance had just barged into his office." Let him in," Xander ordered her and she stepped back, closing the door. Normally he would have never tolerated such disrespect but he was in a good mood today and nothing could ruin his day." What do you want?" He asked out of curiosity. Out of all people, why would Helena's ex pay him a visit? Had he teamed up with Roselyn to come and interrogate him?" You took Helena away from me for you to play with her??? I saw everything!" he accused Xander with a look of pure disgust.What he saw had been a case of mistaken identity but he wasn't about to explain himself, especially to his wife's ex."I don't see how any of this is your business", he answered casually. " If you have nothing better to say then leave my office"."I
Xander’s POVFull parted lips, round big breasts and shapely inviting hips that led to a warm pleasurable place. Xander’s questioning eye’s feasted on the woman sprawled on his kingsize bed. He was halfway through the door, hesitant to move another inch, his massive veined hand clenching and pressing against the chilled, brass handle. "What are you doing here?" he asked swinging past, shutting the door behind him and taking calculated strides towards the bed. What she wanted was obvious, the wafted scent of her desire reaching him and spreading throughout the air. Roselyn laid there nude, completely naked, supporting her head with one arm and toying with her blonde curls with the other. She leisurely gave him a playful look and wet her ruby red painted lips with her tongue drawing him in with her body language. Hands in his pockets, he remained still resisting the invitation.Is she really stark naked on my clean sheets was what oddly popped into his mind. He always wanted everythi
Helen's POVYou are being held captive! The people that surround you are not who they claim to be. Leave now, go to Eaglesdale and find Tithen. PS. Trust no one, even your parents and especially Aaron. Helena laid face up on a hard, bumpy, uneven mattress, her head resting on a carelessly folded suede jacket, holding a tattered piece of paper directly above her line of vision. The bold neat strokes were barely visible mostly because of the dim light provided by her battery drained camping light. Unsatisfied, she swung herself from the bed, making a loud creaking sound as her weight shifted, careful not to poke herself with the exposed, protruding metal wires. At some point after scraping her legs enough times, she knew better than to carelessly hop off without looking. She made her way to the window, pushing away the black, plastic wrapping used as curtains with the hope of allowing some natural light to come in. It was already 4.45 in the morning and she could have waited for dayl
Xander's POV... Seemingly calm on the surface, brutal to his enemies, could easily incite fear with just one glance. That was just a glimpse of how they envisioned him. He had spent years perfecting this image, living up to the expectations of what an heir to the throne should be like. Only a handful of people had a clue of what was really brewing within, the silent war between him and the woman that had him wrapped around her little finger. Xander turned to look outside, pulled down the window and took in the scenery surrounding him. Endless rows of forest, greenery and all kinds of flowers everywhere. The road they were on was surprisingly tarred similar to the ones in Tithen. So this was the forbidden human realm? "It looks just like Tithen", he commented appreciating the environment."Yep, it does. What were you expecting?" asked Griff who was at the wheel, darting his head from side to side in search of a road sign with a green arrow pointing left. "Dark, barren wastelands w
Helena's POV"Thomas!!! Unbelievable! How does Thomas sound like Tithen??? " she questioned before muttering all kinds of curses. She was beyond furious stomping her way through the bushes. After walking for at least three hours straight, following Joe's directions to the tee, she had found this so-called cabin, only Thomas answered the door and he had never heard of Tithen. Not allowing herself to be derailed, she ended up continuing with her mission and spending the whole day searching from door to door. "Ouch! "she suddenly stopped and focused her attention on her foot. Hopping on one leg, Helena took off her boot, held it upside down and began to shake it a little harder than necessary. Unlike on previous days this route had been mostly rocky with short dry patches of grass. She peaked closely inside the boot using her fingers to feel it's fluffy interior. The annoying pebble had disappeared. Having walked from door to door with no success, she had taken the wrong path on her w
Helena's POVHelena rummaged through her stuff lifting and shoving the contents to the sides."Where is that stupid thing? " she muttered to herself. An A4 sized map book normally sticks out above everything and shouldn't take a long time to find. She fully knelt down on the earth when her thigh muscles began to ache then emptied the entire contents on the ground. Subconsciously she had known that the map wasn't there but her mind had refused defeat and insisted on her searching. "Aw great", she spoke through gritted teeth. Could anything else go wrong? Clearly she was unwanted here and now she had to tell him that she had interrupted his moment for nothing. How was he going to show her where she was, without the map. She looked up for a second to think, biting her lower lip. Nice!!! She thought to herself, momentarily getting distracted by a glimpse of part of the inside of the cabin. She could see some blue satin curtains embroidered with black floral appliques, a single black le
Xander's POV... It's her! It really is her!!! In great shock and disbelief, Xander sat on a chopped tree stump with his palm covering his forehead. Everything had been too sudden and his mind was yet to process the fact that it was now over. After six years of searching every inch of the realm, he had found her in the least likely place, the human realm. Though Griff had abandoned him, he was grateful for the way he had convinced him, against his wishes to come here. She was exactly how he remembered her, the feisty red hair, her captivating eyes and insatiable full lips. They had been inseparable in their previous lifetimes so why had she decided to break the cycle? Was he no longer good enough for her? Why choose to be reborn in the human realm where he would never find her? She had also done a good job at suppressing her inner being and could easily pass as a human. I'm so stupid! he beat himself up in his head, remembering his last conversation with her. He should not have le
Helena's POVThe next day, Helena eyes slowly opened then dropped back shut again. Savouring the soft cushioning beneath her and the gentle caressing of the silk that surrounded her, she felt glued to this position unwilling to miss out on a single moment of this orthopaedic heaven. The delicious smell of bacon, eggs and curried beans tickled and tugged at her senses tempting her to follow it but she didn't want to move, needed just a few more minutes of this pampering. Eyes still closed, she felt Xander's presence as he came close to the bed, standing above her and he seemed to place something on the side table. Helena's stomach growled in response to Xander and she knew why he was standing there, towering above her. She had misunderstood him last night, thinking he was some kind of a psychopath but he had proved otherwise, not attempting anything during the night and she felt bad for it. What more could she want? A roof over her head, this luxurious bed, the wonderful food and he
