ADRIANA'S POVI sat curled up on my bed, tears streaming down my face. Still trying to process everything that had just happened. Xander had attacked me, because I had been lied against. He never wanted to believe me, instead he insisted on believing Donvan. I had only come to visit Aiden,which was understandable, and now I was being consumed by Xander’s rage and Donovan's fury. I couldn’t help but wonder when all this would die down.I had been locked in my room for a day now, and I still had no answers. I had no idea what was going on or when Xander would consider letting me out. I felt so alone and helpless. I couldn't even talk to anyone about what had happened because I was locked in my room with no way out.I tried to make sense of it all, but my mind was a jumbled mess. All I could think about was the look of anger and betrayal in Xander's eyes. How could he believe that I would do something like that? How could Donovan ever come up with something like that?I couldn't stop the
ADRIANA'S POVMy mouth watered as I took in the platter of food, I couldn't wait to dig in. The maids set the tray on the table next to my bed and left the room, leaving me alone with my meal. I started with the soup, as it was still steaming hot. The broth was rich and flavorful, and it was filled with chunks of vegetables and tender pieces of meat. The warmth of it soothed my soul, and I felt my body relax as I ate.Next, I moved on to the roasted chicken and vegetables. The chicken was juicy and tender, and it had a crispy golden skin. The vegetables were seasoned with herbs and had a nice crunch to them. I ate quickly, as I was famished and the food was delicious. I then moved on to the pasta, which was tossed with a rich, creamy sauce, and it was heavenly. The pasta was al dente, and the sauce was so flavorful, it was hard to resist eating more than I should.I finished off my meal with some fruit and a warm piece of bread. The fruit was fresh, and it had a sweetness that was irr
XANDER'S POVI couldn't believe what I had heard. I didn't want to believe Daciana when she was hinting at it. Adriana had gone back to see Aiden. I couldn't understand why she would do something like that, especially after everything that had happened. After I had warned her sternly. But Donovan telling me that he caught her with Aiden was where I drew the line. I didn't want to believe him, because Aiden had been tortured before then, but her silence said a lot.I was filled with rage, and I couldn't control my anger. I paced back and forth in my chambers, trying to make sense of it all. I knew that I had to do something about it, and I knew that I would have to kill Aiden to stop all this.I knew that killing Aiden and not keeping my word about living him alive wouldn't be an easy task. But I also knew that I couldn't let him live, not after what he had done and what he would cause me in the future. He was taking my mate away from me, and I couldn't let him get away with it.I thou
XANDER’S POVThe blare of the alarm jolted me from my sleep, and I cursed as I reached for it. But my hand was heavy, and I ended up throwing it on the ground, the sound now echoing through the room.“Fuck!” I growled as I opened my eyes, wincing as the sun hurt my eyes. The hangover was hitting me hard, and my head was pounding.I sat up and looked around, the room was a mess. Empty bottles of alcohol were scattered around, and the smell of stale alcohol and sex filled the room. I remembered the harem of women I had summoned the night before, and I could feel the fading pleasure still lingering down there. I knew that I should have felt satisfied, but instead, I felt empty and alone and utterly terrible.I dragged myself out of bed, away from the sheets that entangled me in their minute folds, my body feeling heavy and sore. The bed was a large four-poster, with a dark red comforter and pillows. The bedspread had a wolf pattern on it, reflecting the Alpha's nature.I walked to the win
XANDER'S POVI sat there, staring at my sister with a stubborn expression on my face. I couldn't believe that she was still trying to convince me to release Adriana. I had made his decision, and I wasn't going to change it. Still, she was clamoring insistently that I had a change of mind.Daciana, on the other hand, was getting increasingly frustrated. She could see the pain and guilt etched on my face, but she also knew that I was being stubborn. She took a deep breath and tried once more to make me see reason."Xander, you can't keep punishing her like this. She's. Your. Mate.” She growled out her patience thinning. She breathed in, calling herself. She has always had a better grip of her emotions than me. “You need to take care of her. She's been through a lot, and she needs your support and understanding."I let out a sigh, "I know that, Daciana, but she needs to learn her lesson. She needs to learn to obey me and my rules."Daciana shook her head, "Xander, that's not the way to h
ADRIANA'S POVI have been feeling a nagging pain in my chest for days. It was a dull ache that seemed to linger no matter what I did. I tried to ignore it, thinking that it was just a passing discomfort, but it only seemed to grow worse with each passing day.Breathing was becoming harder and my heart felt heavy. I tried to eat and drink but the food and water tasted bland and I barely ate anything. I would lay in my bed, staring at the ceiling, feeling hopeless and helpless. I cried myself to sleep every night, thinking of all the things that had happened to me. The pain became so severe that it was hard for me to move around and it was getting harder to breathe. Something was wrong and I was getting weaker by the day, but I couldn’t tell what it was. I just knew that I needed help and I tried to keep it away from Daciana, thinking it would go. But I was wrong. It kept growing, getting worse.I spent my days curled up in my bed, tears streaming down my face. I was consumed by a deep
ALPHA XANDER'S POV"Yeah-" Lia moaned as my hands guided the movement of her waist as she arched her back, matching the rhythm of my thrust. She was interrupted when I slammed into her again, the connection of her meaty ass on my laps slapping and resounding through the whole room.I had tried to avoid my harem in the past couple of days but it didn't seem to be working. I always found myself coming back to them, needing them more than ever. I couldn't wait to move on to the next woman, who was there on the floor, fingerings herself while she watched us fuck. Her close-up entrance was wet and slick, and needy for my cock.I was lounging in my chambers with my harem, enjoying their company and conversation, when suddenly my door burst open. My sister, wild-eyed and furious, stormed into the room, screaming at me."Xander, how could you? How could you do this to our pack? To our family?" she shouted, her voice shaking with anger. She pushed off the women surrounding me, sending them scra
ALPHA XANDER'S POV"I have some bad news," the doctor said. She had a no-nonsense attitude, and her demeanor was professional and stoic. She was dressed in a white lab coat, a stethoscope hung around her neck. She carried a clipboard in her hand, and as she walked, she made notes in it. Her face was lined with wrinkles, a sign of age and the tightness around her eyes spoke of her many years of experience in the field. She had a pair of spectacles perched on her nose, and her eyes were sharp and focused as she checked Adriana's vital signs. Her movements were swift and efficient, and it was clear that she knew what she was doing. She had a kind face, but it was clear that she didn't mince words when it came to giving bad news."Adriana's condition is more serious than we thought. We have to run more tests and do further examinations to understand what's happening." My sister and I looked at each other, our hearts heavy with fear and uncertainty. We knew that whatever the doctor had to
