Guys, leave a comment please. What do you think about Anna and Lord Xandros? and Anna and Gaia? Let me hear your thoughts. I think Gaia is gentle-manly🫠🥴
"She's getting better." Diane said, "She'll wake up." "I know." Xandros said."You don't have to beat yourself up for it. It's not your fault." She said again and Xandros knew she was relating it to Athena. He sighed, "I know, Diane." He said, his voice adding a sharp edge. He was irritated and angry as it was and he didn't want her preaching for him. If there was anything, he was good at keeping his emotions under bay. Even if he wasn't sure he did that in the dungeon while beating that guy up. It'd surprised him, he shouldn't really torture them....at least not with his hands, but... he'd been angry."Should I leave?" Diane asked."You should." He replied and she nodded slightly, getting up and leaving the room.Xandros stepped closer to Anna, staring at her pale face. It was relaxed, like she was just taking a break from the world, but her head was bandaged and she had to heal. He had to heal her.He removed his phone from his pocket and typed a contact in it. MIREILLE."Everyo
Gaia met Xandros at the entrance of the dungeon, stretching a white handkerchief to him, which he used to clean the blood off his hands."Someone sent him." Gaia said calmly, his eyes watching Xandros's fingers. Bruises but they were starting to heal. "I know," Xandros muttered, handing the bloody handkerchief back to him."Did you ask him who it was?""I didn't have to." He said and looked at Gaia with eerily calm eyes, "I'll get them with or without him asking." Gaia sighed, "It'll be better to ask him so you don't delay in catching them.""Do you think he'll speak? He didn't even try making much excuses." Xandros scoffed angrily."He'll speak. He knows you'll truly kill him if you say it." Gaia fell into step beside him as he started walking away."Well, I don't want to say it." Xandros smirked, "I'm going to torture him till he dies off himself. He'll regret working for the wrong man." "Are you going to say it's because you are the only one who can hurt her and no one else?" Ga
"She's....not going to die." He made his point.******The sound of his shoes came first, slow, deliberate footsteps cutting through the thick silence like a sharp blade. Each echo rolled down the narrow stone corridor, growing louder, heavier, more certain. The dungeon held its breath. Shackles clinked. The air went silent. Even the lights seemed to flicker.Xandros didn’t rush. He never did.His shoes struck the ground with a terrifying calm, each step a promise of pain. There was no mercy in his steps, no hesitation, no humanity. Just a cold, patient cruelty that soaked into the stone and bled into the bones of those who heard him coming.The dungeon door slammed shut behind him, the sound echoing death.The man tied to the iron chair flinched violently at the sound of boots slamming against stone, measured, heavy with unspoken fury. There was something worse than hatred in those footsteps. Something colder. Something personal.Xandros stepped into the room alone. Hands bare. Sl
"Does that make it hurt any less?" Sandra asked, narrowing her face."Crying takes the pain away." Gaia said."It doesn't. It....it just hides it. The only way to take the pain away....is to face it. But nog everyone is ready for that. And I....don't even know the step to take towards that goal." She muttered."Then hide it." Gaia said, as he smoothly rubbed his black trousers. "Until you figure out the next step. Hide the pain. Forget it." He added. "You don't always have to win the battle so soon. You can forget about it for now and think of something else later." "Why are you trying to change my decision?""Because you are usually so happy. And seeing you sad...I'm not sure anyone knows how to control that." Sandra stared at him, short of words. "You-" She cut herself off as she got up abruptly, the bottle of water almost falling from her hands. "You should sleep. You are saying crazy things." She muttered and immediately walked away from him, disappearing into the house.Gaia bi
"She's not seeing anything!" Panic filled his voice suddenly and Anna thought she was hearing things."She is in a lucid condition. She'll be fine few hours from now." The doctor tried to explain, "This is because she...she doesn't have a wolf. If she did, she'll heal twice faster than the normal rate. I..I don't...know why she doesn't have a wolf." "That's not for you to concern yourself with." Xandros said in a final voice, "Get out." "Lord Xandros." Diane tried to speak."You too, Diane. Out. Every. Single. One. Of You." He said. "Let's go." Diane said in a soft voice as she pulled Sandra out of the room and Gaia walked out behind them slowly, closing the door behind them. "What's going on?" Sandra said."Don't worry, Anna would be fine. Lord Xandros is just....confused... right now." Gaia said.She stared at him, their eyes locking for a moment and he sighed lightly. "Don't get agigated." He said. She nodded quietly.Diane's eyes moved upwards as she stared at Maren who was al
Her lungs blocked, rope tightening around her neck. It was human to to try to pull the rope out from her neck, but knowing she wouldn't survive it, she let her hand dangle down. Her breath became shallow, her eyes closing up in cruel excruciating pain. Headache bloomed at the back of her head, but it was the least of her worries. She managed to move her hand, her mouth whispering the same word for a minute, over and over again. "I'm sorry." Before her finger could touch her tummy, Athena's head fell low in death.The pain felt raw, shooting all over her body. The space felt tight, breathing felt tight. Death.Chaos.Everyone.Athena's death replayed over and over and over again and with each passing moment, the rope seemed to get tighter, choking her.... daring her to try and survive.She clawed at the darkness, desperate to live. She couldn't die. No, she just couldn't die.A glimmer of red light appeared in desperateness. She rushed towards it.No, she couldn't....die this way."
"Lord... Xandros!" The pilot's eyes bulged out of their sockets as he caught him going downwards and then suddenly disappeared, underneath a canopy of trees."Did you see that?" Sandra gasped from her helicopter, her face pale in shock. Gaia was beside her as he looked and he immediately told sent a message to all the others. They had to go down and look for them.Tree branches cut through Xandros's skin and flesh with force as he passed through the thicket before hitting the ground hardly, with his leg.He heard the scrunch of bones and a sharp groan ripped out from his lips as he went still for a terrible second. The pain was fast, overwhelming as it hit him round his body, but he was a Lycan and Lycans healed as fast as a rocket.The pain soon stopped like it was never there and he immediately got to his feet, walking into the forest deeper. If the pain had been that much for him, how much more for Anna who was weaker and had no wolf."Anna!" Her name ripped out of his lips, hard,
"You are just so gullible." Xandros muttered when the helicopter started and he suddenly grabbed her hand, making her flinch."Open it." Xandros said, his eyes darkening as he stared at her."W-Why?" She muttered."Anna. Don't make me repeat myself." He said, fixing one finger into her clenched hand, she tightened it instinctively."You won't be able to pull my fingers open." She said sincerely, "I've played this game so many times when I was a child that I've gotten so used to it.""Let's see how that works." Xandros smirked."If you pull one finger out, I'll close it back." She said."I'll make sure you don't close them. Breaking your fingers would do the trick." He said blankly, his eyes staring at hers. He looked at her with his brow raised and she got the point, opening her hand slowly."If you don't trust the father, you shouldn't trust the kids. They can be manipulated." He said as he took the chocolate out of her hand."It's poisoned." He scoffed, throwing it down. "What?" An
She had not thought of a reply when he got up from the bed and that was when she realized he was half-naked. She looked away, instantly. He smirked."Really?" A light scoff escaped from his lips. "After oogling at me in the bathroom yesterday. Or are we going to pretend that never happened?" He asked."I-""Meet us downstairs in the next thirty minutes. We shouldn't wait for you." He said and walked out of the room, the light hitting of the door, the thing that signified her that he was gone. Anna blinked, saliva going down her throat as she gulped.He surely didn't come into the room to comfort her when she cried in her sleep. Of course not. No! He did not! She screamed at the little voice in her head trying to convince her otherwise. She...was the one who was rightThe knock on her door startled her and she immediately rushed towards it, pulling it open."Huh!" Anita gasped as she looked around, "I had no idea this was your room." She said with a large smile."Uhmm...yess.." Anna d
