The door banged close behind, shutting the light from outside. Though it was still morning, there was only a single ray of sunlight getting into the living room. All the glasses were covered shut with the curtains that it partially looked ghostly. Anna took her steps carefully, knowing she was not all that good with the darkness but unfortunately, she didn't and wouldn't turn on the lights.Xandros was no where to be found down here. She heard a movement upstairs and curiosity took the better part of her, sending her legs up to the stairs. The stairs gave way to a large space upstairs, his room.The lights shone brightly here, it looked totally heavenly. Green and grey, the beauty of the forest was shown best inside Xandros's room.She hadn't know he would love the color green, seeing how gray and black his living room was.At the end of the room, a dark glass door was open and Anna pressed her lips against each other, fighting the urge to go there. What if he was in there? Waiting fo
Xandros smirked, his eyes going down to her trembling fingers. She couldn't even steady her fingers, how would she stab herself?He walked closer to her and her eyes widened as she brought the pin closer. She wasn't going to do it. He could just stay there, right...Xandros's eyes subtly widened as Anna stretched her hand and with speed, pointed the pin to herself. He hit her hand lightly, twisting it and turning immediately backwards, while he pressed her against the door."Are you crazy!?" He shot."It's my life. I can do what I want with it." She snapped."No, Anna. Your life belongs to me now. You can't hurt yourself without my permission and no one can do that to you. Do you get that?" He asked.Anna gritted her teeth, going high on her emotions. She knew she was going to regret this tomorrow. She knew she was going to come back to her normal self tomorrow but for no, just for now...she wanted to he rebellious."No." She whispered.Xandros's eyes darkened in anger as he unconscio
To protect Sandra."They didn't know I left the maids quarters. I would see you soon." Sandra said when she glanced at the time and tried to leave but Anna's fingers were interlocked with her. She didn't seem to want to let her go."Anna...." Sandra's voice trailed off as she suddenly pulled her into a tight hug again, "We would get through this." She whispered.Anna nodded while burying her head in the crook of Sandra's neck. It seemed comforting than she thought it would be. Her heart warmed."I have to go." Sandra said quickly and walked away, Anna watching her back till she waved and turned round the bend."You seem to like her a lot." Anna's feet faltered as she heard the voice behind her, "isn't it nice to have someone who you could rest on when times get stormy?" Gaia asked and she turned."What if there are no calm times? You can't rest on someone always. Sometimes, you have to let them rest on you." "And you are not in a position to do that?" Gaia raised his brows, stepping
After working for almost the whole day, Anna stretched, turning her neck to the side. She heard a bone crack and she exhaled in relieve."Are you tired?" Sandra appeared from almost nowhere and Anna sprang up, turning around."Where have you been the whole day?""We have to wash almost all the bed spreads. They were too thick for the washing machine, we had to hit them with our hands till they were clean." Sandra pouted and Anna sighed, taking her hands into hers.She stared at the redness of her fingers and she blew air over it. "It must have hurt like h*ll." "I'm used to this." Sandra stepped closer to Anna and whispered, "It's better than dancing in Abaddon." She muttered.Anna's eyes turned glassy. Yes, it was in a good way. Sandra was in a place that was good for her as long as she abided by the rules and that was the same for Anna too. If she served Lycan Lord Xandros well, at least, she could preserve her head.*If you fail to get pregnant, it's your fault, not his.* Diane's w
"He is going to be married while I breed for him? Does that really makes sense?" Anna was out of her understanding phase. This was total b*llshit. She was supposed to be a tool while he lived a good life with someone else."Yes, Anna. Because she cannot give birth!" Diane shot.Anna bit her trembling lips, her fingers tightening on the apron she put on. She blinked, trying to fight back the tears that threatened to escape from her eyes."Just do what they tell you and you will be fine." Diane touched her shoulder and Anna raised her blood shot eyes."If she's going to marry him, she's meant to heal him. I'm going to give birth and let her train my pup? It's totally impossible to do." She muttered and started leaving the kitchen."Lord Xandros is waiting for you. You have to join them at the table for dinner." Anna didn't stop nor did she look back. Her tears didn't rush out of her eyes until she got into the storage room and finally her sobs were heard. She was being used and there
"You know your job is specific, right?" Alpha Wyatt leaned forward, placing his elbows on the table as he locked eyes with Anna."She understands." Xandros said before Anna could say anything and then he stood up from the table, pulling Anna up with him."We'll leave now since this is over." He said sternly and dragged Anna up the stairs with him.They got into the elevator, his hand wrapped tightly against her slender wrist, enough to hurt her hardly. Her lips curved downwards, her lips trembling lightly.This time around, it wasn't on out of fear, but something she couldn't explain. Something that burnt right into her skin and made her blood boil. Anger? But she couldn't dare to have that. She knew it was not her place. This was her life, to be submissive to whoever her master was, but why was she yearning to simply be rebellious?The elevator door opened and led to the only door right there, his door. Placing his fingerprints, he walked right inside, pulling her in hardly. His fing
A shiver ran down her spine as she felt her insides clench round his two fingers which were getting deeper into her."I can't imagine how tight you when I get inside you." His breath fanned her face and she let out an exhale as he worked in fingers inside her."I thought you didn't want this, Anna." He smirked, watching her lips parting lightly. She was supposed to keep them close, but she couldn't. The place was so so hot and her body so crazy that she needed a form of fresh air."Lord Xandros..." A breath escaped her lips as her eyes rolled backwards a little and he moved closer to her, his eyes hooking in hers. That was when she snapped back to her senses. She wasn't supposed to let him get her this way.Fvck!Anna moved away from the space in the side and Xandros's head snapped in her direction. She could feel the heat passing from his eyes to her body. She wasn't simply going to be used. Maybe, she'd agreed to obey him but not anymore. Not now when she knew what exactly was betw
Hot tears rushed to her eyes, the hit leaving a stinging pain in its disappearance. Anna's lips parted in shock, not expecting that kind of move from Maren.Maren closed the gap between them, dragging her by the hair. "Listen to me, Anna. Your job here is simple and in case you don't know, I rule here. You would respect me as such.""I'm only obligated to listen to Lycan Lord Xandros." Anna muttered, the side of her lips hurting as she spoke. A werewolf with a wolf like Maren's definitely had so much power. She underestimated her.Maren scoffed lightly. "Xandros didn't tell you, did he? You have an ultimatum."Anna blinked. "What?""Ask about it. I set it myself. That gives me the right to kill you whenever I please. But what is life without some fun?" She smiled lightly and nodded her head to the side, signifying for her to leave.Anna blinked, biting her lips to hold back her anger and then she turned, walking down the long curve of stairs.It was very dark when she got back to her
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
