Xanders POV..'Just sex! Wow' That phrase had repeated itself in his mind so many times that he had grown sick of it. He didn't know which was worse, her betrayal for many years or a night of pouring his heart out and cherishing her, being reduced to nothing.This had to be the first time, in all of his existence, that anyone had ever said that to him and that wasn't exaggerating. They normally begged for more, did everything possible to remain relevant and when he withdrew, they became obsessive over him. Regardless, he didn't care about any of those women, they were his past and right now his future was at stake. Xander adjusted the rear view mirror so that he could watch her as she slept. Her body leaned against the door, her head tilted towards the window and her legs folded up on the seat.How could she hurt him so carelessly and toss him away like a filthy rug? Had he not been considerate and shown her tenderness? Every inch of his body wanted to punish her, to make her feel j
Xander's POV..'How do I begin?' he asked in his mind. He knew exactly how he felt, that his world was unbearable at the moment but putting it into words was a whole different story. Griff crossed his arms expectantly, tilting his head to the side, jaw clenched giving him a hardened glare.Was it too late to change his mind? Griff was going to really enjoy this.. "Okay, uhm, what I'm about to say happened to a friend of mine", he lied. If he distanced himself from the situation then he wouldn't be placing himself in a vulnerable position. Especially with Griff. He knew that if he told the truth, Griff would find a way of blackmailing him with it."Xander, I'm your only friend", Griff corrected him"."That's not true", he defended himself, not wanting to give up on his story."Really? What are their names?"Griff asked, skepticism written all over his face" I met them in the human realm and notice how I said them. There's Joe, Emma and what's his name? Ah yes, Owen".Aw man, how had h
Helena's POV…Lexy burst out laughing then shook her head."Where do you think you are? You're strange".Huh? Where they not in Tithens house? Is this a hotel and is Lexy one of its employees? Had Xander been here, she'd have known about all this beforehand. "Tithen is the name of this world that we're in and the capital is called Venona. In case you still don't know, we're in the palace in Venona," Lexy explained. Helena blinked, giving Lexy a blank stare. Venona, palace what? Did she hear correctly or was there something seriously wrong with her ears."Tithen is not a person but a place?" she asked, her brows beginning to furrow and Lexy nodded.No, it can't be. How was that possible? "Are you sure coz the one that I'm searching for is a man and he's meant to help me??"" Yes, I'm pretty sure. I've never heard of anyone by that name."She looked around in confusion, her entire world crushing beneath her feet. She wanted to grab her notebook to double check on the note but she remem
Helena's POV…Morning came and she could hear its sounds disturbing her ears and her eyes few open because she knew she was in trouble. She raced past the lounge, swung the door open before entering the empty hallway.She needed to find Lexy!Her eyes searched the empty space and her desperation grew. Lexy hadn't told her how to find her."Are you looking for me?" Lexy's smooth voice came from right next to her and she jumped again."Lex, how do you keep doing that??""Doing what?""The way you just appear like that? Anyways I need to talk to you like asap!" She took hold of Lexy' s wrist and pulled her inside her room. Lexy was now dressed in a cute, just above the knee black flared dress and high heeled sandals."You need to get me to a pharmacy! Please, it's urgent!" Helena begged, feeling heat rushing to her face. It had been what? Just over 24 hours so she still had time."What's a pharmacy?" Lexy asked innocently "You know, the place where you buy meds when you're sick? Do you
Helena's POV…Helena sat in the palace gardens, beaten and exhausted, sipping on a non alcoholic cherry blaze cocktail. She had spent the entire day searchIng for a pharmacy with zero success and was just about ready to abandon the search entirely.How could a pharmacy not exist in such a posh city? Did this mean that she had to accept the possibility of being pregnant?Lexy's phone began to ring and she answered through a mouthpiece that was attached to a headset. At first the conversation flew past Helena's ears but then she saw Lexy gasping, her eyes widening and her attention was captured."He's coming when? Now??? Okay i will sir. Thank you sir"."Is everything okay?" Helena asked after Lexy cut the phone."No, nothing's okay. Can you believe the prince is coming to inspect the second floor! He's never done that before! " "So what's the problem?""It's the prince!! Look at what I'm wearing. Come let's go up and change quickly". She looked panicked and Helena frowned. What was the
Xander's POv..He entered his truck and pulled out of the parking lot. Thanks to Griff, he couldn't use his powers because of the cameras that had started stalking him. After dodging a few cars on the freeway, his eyes glanced at the rearview mirror and he noticed at least six vehicles trailing after him."I'll pay you back for this!" he muttered, already hatching a plan for Griff.He turned left into the exit, passed a few roads then turned left again into the palace gates. The cars behind him stopped their pursuit at the entrance and he watched them disembarking and taking pictures.Whatever he had to do today must be done in complete secrecy because the last thing he wanted right now was for Helena's picture to be taken and splashed all over the news. 'Dudum dudum dudum', he could hear her continuous heartbeat and his being became excited. Even though there were some unresolved issues, seeing her again wouldn't be so bad. He stepped out of the truck and saw Gerald coming to mee
Helena's POV…"Helena, are you okay?" Roselyn asked her as she sat up. A crowd had gathered around them and Lexy came and stood there as well.Helena's eyes shot at Lexy and then at Roselyn , "We have to go, now!" she cried out."No, we don't. Let me handle this" answered Roselyn getting up to her feet.""No! You mustn't", she protested worried about Roselyn.""It's okay, don't worry", Roselyn reassured.She went over to Lexy and shoved her hard on her chest."What did you do to her?" she angrily confronted her.Lexys fangs had disappeared "I swear, I didn't do anything. I just asked her about leaving the palace without telling me and she started screaming out of nowhere. The prince arrived and I got a report….", explained Lexy and Roselyn instantly cooled down." The prince is back??"Roselyn asked cutting Lexy off."Yes he is""Did you see him?" she asked again, completely diverted."No, I didn't. I was waiting for him when I received a report that she had left the palace"" Well, don
Xander's POV..He moved his laptop away to allow her access as she made her way to him. If she was offering then who was he to refuse? Tomorrow would deal with itself later but for now he was going to show no mercy.His hand reached out to her and as soon as he touched her, she disintegrated and varnished before his eyes."Argh!" he complained, lifting up his arm and combing through his hair. His being was punishing him for rejecting Geralds call. He now had half the mind to just go to her and spend the night. Was she going through the same? Savannah should be awakening in a few days and once that happened, nothing in this existence could stop them from fucking.The rest of the night was spent going from one dream to another, all having one naked person in common. Helena.Why was he punishing himself when he could just swallow his pride and go to her? It's not like he could just get another woman to relieve himself. She was his curse and it was either het or noone else.He got out of be
