Silence prevailed for so long that Anna's fingers started twisting with each other. Her stomach twisted badly also and she had to gulp numerous times under his scrutinizing gaze.It felt hot on her skin, making her tingle and making her stomach want to churn. Gosh, she couldn't be here too longer. When were they going to get to Khaos? And when could she escape into the covering walls of her room?"So?" He finally spoke, but it was just a single word and then his hand moved, pressing a button beside him and a dark glass partition separated them from the driver's seat.They were alone now, in this small space. The wind from the open window at his side, blew in and made her shiver slightly. She instinctively wrapped her hand around herself to keep her body warm. "What did you think, Anna? I can't even feel your little wolf. It's either you are wolfless or....you are a very low class omega." An insult punched right into her face. It wasn't enough to knock her out, she had heard it a mil
Diane's eyes went up the stairs to see Xandros, staring at them. Anna was still on the floor, her arms wrapped around Diane's thighs crazily as she kept on crying continuously. "Anna!!" Diane shot loudly and the girl went mute for a second in shock, "Sandra is safe." Silence. She spent a moment trying to wrap her head around the information and finally, she blinked through wet lashes, "Is that true?" "Yes, Anna. Get up, please." Diane pulled her upwards by the arm and Anna bent her head in shamefulness. "I'm sorry-I....I.. didn't..." "You don't have to say anything if you don't want to." Diane bent her head slightly to catch her face. It was more like a sentence to make her speak but it turned out Anna took it that Diane wasn't interested. "Alright. Can I see her now? I really have to...meet her urgently." "You can't see her now, Anna. Not until you free yourself of your crime...first." Diane said. She gulped and nodded her head lightly, following the woman downstairs. Dian
Xandros stared at the paper and signed, folding it up. "That's not Athena's handwriting." He said flatly and there was no argument made after that."If you are going to put the blame on her next time, I suggest you do it when she can speak to defend herself and not while she's dead.""She can't speak," Anna said before she could stop herself,. Xandros shot her a glance."Exactly, Anna. It means don't....talk about Athena." He warned.Gaia's eyes flickered between them both."Athena is not the point here. How can Athena write something from many years ago?" Maren shot."I didn't open the rod. I couldn't....open it." Anna stuttered."Then that means there something you must be hiding -""She doesn't knows how to write in code, Maren. Anna, get out of here." Xandros said calmly and she took a deep unsatisfied breath before she walked away, her fingers fiddling with each other."Let me take you to check on Sandra. She might...be in a bad condition and don't be afraid!" Diane rushed to look
"You don't," Anna thinned her eyes in disbelieve, "expect me to actually do that? Fight Willa over something you did wrong.""I'm not sure Willa thinks that way..." Maren dipped her head to the side and instantly, Anna let out a groan as Willa captured her hair swiftly with one hand, dragging her head backwards."Let...."Anna's hand wrapped around Willa's, "me go." She managed to say with pain burning through her scalp.Maren tightened the rope of her night jacket as she turned on loud music in her room and walked off to the bed."B*tch!" Willa groaned, throwing her hands over Anna's face. The hit threw Anna off balance as she staggered backwards, heat rushing through her veins and settling on her face, it painted her cheek a very red colour.She blinked, feeling the red in her eyes, when Willa lunged towards her again,not ready to back off.Anna got the point and she rushed towards her, dipping her head so low, it hit Willa in the stomach the moment."Just so you know, Anna," Maren s
"What? No!" Anna jumped off the bed as quickly as she was startled by Diane's information. It couldn't simply work, not at all. No one expected her to just get into Xandros's room one night because of one impromptu information.But she'd been thinking about it. Knowing pushing it off further was not even appropriate. After she'd heard Maren spout all those nonsense in the dungeon, she'd been more convinced that she was going to die young. *It's just two months left. She thinks she have all the time in the world, she doesn't!*Yes, she didn't and to be sincere, not that she loved the pain, but she wanted to be alive. If only she had a choice. If only....why couldn't be go for surrogacy?Her head almost whipped to the side to look at Diane as the question laid on her tongue."Don't," Diane shook her head, "Please don't ask me anything right now. I'm not in the mood to answers to all of your curious questions.""I don't know how to change his mind, since he was the one who called you in
After a two hour conversation with Sharon, it was time for the dreaded hour. Anna never expected the time to come as fast as this. She didn't even want it. Panic glazed over her face as she got herself bathed by people she didn't even know. Probably just ran into at the kitchen when preparing that day for Maren's arrival."You are pretty," one commented when they started placing makeup on her face. Anna was too deep in thought to even get that as a compliment."Don't worry. Every one has a first time in doing this things. If you were at Apex Pack when Lord Galenira was still alive, you would be used to this things." The girl said again and Anna's curiosity was instantly picked."Apex...Pack?" She muttered. The girl dipped her head with a nod. Anna's mind went back to the day she'd first had dinner with Xandros. Those men who were kneeling, who had one of their other men killed was from Apex Pack. They were the newly joined pack under the Silent Howl Clan."Why was Lord Galenira killed
Sandra's eyes glanced over at the lights shining outside and the guards paroling the area, her fingers working on the chain she'd held in her hands. The chain she'd been carrying since she was a child. Today was that day. The day she just couldn't remember. The day her life started all over again. Rain.Lightning.Thunder.She was on the road, her face wet, her lashes gumming aggressively to her eyes and then the lights suddenly appeared.Crash!The sound of a sharp inhale suddenly cut off her thinking and her eyes closed as she tried to take in a deep breath.Inhale.Exhale.Forget about it.Inhale.Exhale.Forget. About. It.Even though saying forget about it usually made her remember what 'it' was, she felt it easily helped her take her mind off 'it'. Soon she was lost looking at the stars outside and then her eyes caught someone she never expected. He could see her from the window. She gulped.Her wolf jumped in giddiness. Those eyes. Never could she expect that Gaia would be he
"Lord Xan.... Xandros, I...I just...." She fiddled with her fingers. His eyes dipped down to her hands. He was pretty sure she didn't have a reply. Anna's eyes were locked to her fingers as if she would die if she peeled it off. The heat from her eyes were stabbing furiously into her skin, almost like though it would peel off and burn through......deep. She could feel Xandros's eyes on her body, it wasn't moving. It was burning into her skin crazily like fire. She wished it could leave her body. She couldn't think. She just couldn't....think. Mate? Would he treat her like one if she picked her? She was not so foolish to believe him, neither was she going to pick and get mocked. "Answer me," His voice was getting darker. She heard a growl underneath. Imogen. She whimpered, her shoulders shaking lightly. Fear rushed down her body lightly. "Anna," "I-I don't have....a answer, Lord Xan...dros." Her reply had barely gotten into his ears when he stepped closer, his shoes grazing hers
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
"Hmm," She ran a hand over her over her hair, "about the kids-""I've talked about that." He cut her off, "They'll stop it." Anna felt stunned for a moment. "But Gaia said..." She trailed off. She should just be grateful right? "I smell blood." He said, his eyes scanning her body. It stopped at her leg where the open scratch remained. She had failed to cover it up in an hurry to run out of the room."What... happened?" He asked, in an eerily calm voice."Nothing. I just fell.""You are lying to me yet again. You don't seem to learn, Anna." His voice came out rough. He seemed.... angry. What happened during the meeting?"Treat your injury. We leave early tomorrow morning." He walked past her."Is everything..." He'd already closed the door drowning out the rest of her words. She stared at him, biting her lips slowly.****"Do you want me to stay in the same room with you tonight?" "No, Sandra. I wouldn't be able to sleep with you here. We'll talk about a lot of things and I'm reall
He grabbed the cloth suddenly, pulling her closer by the tightness. She had been too slow to take her hands off. His breath fanned over her face lightly as she stared at him, her breath itching."You are so red." He smirked.Anna blinked, all the shock clearing from her face as she stepped backwards, her fingers letting go of the shirt like they burned her hands."I'll -I'll wait for you outside." She said and opened the door, swiftly going outside. The door closed behind her and her back weakly fell on the door, resting on it. Her heart palpitated recklessly in her chest and she had to place her hand on it, in an attempt to calm it down."Think, Anna. Think. Are you crazy? He's Lycan Lord Xandros. He's a Lycan, you are wolfless. He's a Lord, you are just a breeder. He's married and you...are not wife." She whispered to herself, over and over again, till it got into her head and she could go quiet. She ran her tongue over her dry lips as she took a deep breath, waiting patience for hi

She stretched her hands forward. "You can just take-" Her words were cut short when he grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her in, closing the door behind her."If you took the hit for you, then the least you could do is change my shirt." He said. "The closet is too small." Anna muttered underneath her breath, shifting her weight from one foot to another."You have to take off your clothes, it'll smell soon." She added when she realized her former sentence didn't matter to him at all. "Take it off." He said, his eyes locked on hers.Her breath hooked for a second, stopping in her throat as she blinked at him. He raised his brow. She bit her inner lips. Keeping the new shirt on the washing hand basin, she placed her hand on the hem of his shirt, her warm fingers grazing his skin. The hairs on the back of his neck rose slightly. Feelings. A gulp went down Xandros's throat as she came closer to him, the scent of whatever cream she was using on her hair, filled his nostrils. Pleasan
"What pack is this?" Anna asked as they got to the last pack. It was already getting late and she knew they might not make it home tonight."Apex." Gaia replied."It looks....scary." Anna muttered."It is. I remember when Lord Galenira died. Lord Xandros killed him." Sandra said. "It was few days after we got sold." "How did you endure?" Anna asked."It was few days, Anna." She said pointedly and Anna took a deep breath. "Don't feel guilty.""I'm not." Anna said.Gaia smiled lightly. Their relationship was something to be jealous about."Frown hardly, Anna. So they don't get you." Sandra said, grabbing her hand and holding it tightly."Don't worry, Apex is not bad. Nothing would happen -""She's the breeder!" Someone suddenly shouted from the crowd and everyone turned to her. Sandra's grip tightened on her hand. Anna felt the world stop around her, it was something she'd feared. Something she'd waited to happen. The main reason she never wanted to be here. The reason....Her eyes wi
Gaia turned backwards right in time to see daggers flying towards him...from Xandros's eyes."I think the pilots are waiting for us." He said and the girls looked back. The pilot was probably... Xandros.Anna saw his eyes hooked on her and she blinked slightly, gulping almost immediately.She immediately averted her gaze and turned towards the helicopter, rushing in quickly. The five minutes ride was quiet just like it had been in the car and for some reason she hated it. She preferred the air in the car when they first left Khaos. Where he had answered her questions, excluding the gun part. "I didn't mean to correct you or....change you. I was just worried. The people....they seem unfamiliar around you." She glanced at him. He didn't stir from his position when his head was backwards and his hands folded against his chest."I was thinking -""Are you apologizing or you are making excuses?" He asked, his eyes slowly opening and focused on her. She gulped lightly. "I wanted to corre
"Do you get that?" He asked her and she nodded her head slightly."Yes." She muttered."Good." He said and turned on his heels, walking out. Everyone else followed after him, leaving only Sandra."What got into him?" Sandra muttered. "Just....the dresses. Let's share them.""He agreed?" She asked."Not really. But...." Ann shrugged slightly as she got some of the clothes and walked to the people.Three minutes later and the place was already bubbling with laughter and noises filled with thanks here and there. Most of the children weren't able to get the clothes but they were mostly happy because of the future promises."Are you Lady Maren?" One of the women walked towards her and she looked as the others also inched closer."I heard you got married to Lord Xandros..He needs some light in his life. The old people says he's changed every since Lady Athena died so long ago." Another said. "But since you are here, it's better for him. Thank you so much.""I heard he has a breeder. That
"W-Why?" She managed to ask, "Why would it be a waste?" "Because....you, Anna. I don't think there'd be anyone like you on this earth." He muttered as he pulled the gun away from her face, dropping it back in it's former position. He closed his eyes, resting backwards, without a care in the world."I rarely sleep, Anna. And you woke me up from my light nap two days ago, because you wanted some nasty things done to you." He smirked, even without opening his eyes.Heat flooded her neck, reddening it as she stared at him. His eyes opened slowly, "I hope to you are fertile. You can't let that....waste." She didn't say a word, only stared at him as his eyes closed back and he tried to talk asleep. She bit her lips hardly, trying to stop the thoughts from crowding in, but they did and she succumbed to them.Her fingers moved as she pulled closer towards him. His eyes opened but he didn't move away when she touched his head and slightly pulled him towards her shoulder."My mum said I have
