"L-Lord X-Xan-dros, this is....inappropriate." His breath on her neck stopped for a moment and that tingling sensation ceized but it didn't stop her heart from beating too too fast. "Inappropriate?" He pulled backwards, his eyes meeting hers once again.Summoning all the courage she had, she muttered, "Yes." He could do whatever he wanted to her when she was in the room, but definitely not in front of the man driving the car. No, he just couldn't.He scoffed lightly, his lips parting as he let out a chuckle. His hand moved away from her neck as he kept on laughing.Anna moved back immediately to her spot. He was totally crazy...too crazy.She didn't look back at him for the rest of the ride even when she knew he was staring at her. She could feel it, the heat emitting from the dark blue orbits. It made her stomach, made her blood spike and made her clench her laps tightly together to hide that she wasn't feeling something down there.She bit her lips, her mind moving back to when sh
Her phone vibrated in her pocket and she immediately pulled it out, Sandra."Sandra," She called, her voice totally quiet."Anna, what did you do?" Sandra's voice was sharp and panicked.Anna's breath spiked up. "Sandra, what's wrong?""A typed messaged meant for rogues was seen in your room. Everyone here is tensed and Lady Maren....Lady Maren already reported this to Lord Xandros. You are with him, aren't you? Has he said anything about this yet?""Sandra.....I think I'm going to die right now? I swear I never wrote any letter to the rogues." "Anna, I don't know what to say. If I didn't know you, I would agree you did. And no one knows you here, except for me." "Can I speak with Lady Maren? I know she knows what she's -"A gasp.Anna pulled the phone away from her ears. "Sandra?""Sandra?"The door to the room suddenly opened and Xandros walked back into the room. His eyes were more sharper and more predatory as he easily walked towards her. She gulped, trying to switch off her ph
Dan chuckled lightly, a massive scowl on his bloody face, it made Anna fold in disgust at him. Things over here were so twisted. He was the one who stole and yet, was acting all high and mighty? She couldn't fathom that."I have nothing to do with this. All I did was work for him, I had no idea he took your money, Lord Xandros. Believe me!" Candy was desperate to get out of this situation and she didn't care if she had to do that....alone.Typical of her. She had never cared about anyone. Just her life and plenty of money. Anna knew that, so she wasn't surprised. She shifted on one knee to the other, her knees hurting. She couldn't believe she was on punishment for something she didn't know about and not just any punishment, but kneeling.The fvck?She wasn't a kid anymore. Back in the days, her parents usually forced her to kneel whenever she did something wrong or the family they served. They usually punished the slaves for wrong doings, but it's been so long she knelt down. She di
"Stop it, Willa." Diane's voice resounded in the dungeon and Willa's hand freezed on the rope."Lady Maren." Diane bowed down a little to Maren and the latter smirked."How dare you order my maid about?" Maren scoffed."I gave the maid to you." Diane said calmly, "And as long as I am the lady in charge of activities here in Khaos, I believe I have the right to order any maid around.""I'm the one in charge. I'm the one married to Xandros.""Your marriage to Lord Xandros, doesn't mean anything to any of us here. You are just here as a bond between Lord Xandros and your father. I have tried to respect you enough but if you continue to treat people around here in a messy manner, I would have no choice than to put you in your place." "Diane!""Lady Maren." Diane called back calmly as she walked towards Maren and stopped when her mouth was so close to her ear, "You know your father doesn't match up to Lord Xandros, don't you?" She asked.Maren's hands rolled into a fist and tightened angr
The music pounded like a second heartbeat as Anna stumbled out of Abaddon Club, the blood drumming in her ears almost drowning it out. Almost.But not quite.She could still hear it. Xandros’s voice. Smooth. Mocking. The cruel glint in his eyes when he changed the rules. If she won’t kill Dan, then let him try to kill her.And the worst part?He said it with amusement. Like it was a game. A little entertainment for a bored god sitting high on his throne. But that was what he was. A god in his place.Outside the club was filled with shadows and haze, bodies pressed against each other in drunken oblivion. Anna rushed past them, her mind spiraling, panic clawing at her chest as she tried to vanish. Her hand slammed against a wall for balance. She ducked into a side hallway that led toward the employee area, dark, narrow, and blessedly quieter.But the quiet was worse.Because she could hear him now.Dan’s footsteps. Unhurried. Heavy. Each step echoing like a countdown.She darted into a
A shiver went down her spine as she stared into his blue eyes, locked. She couldn't move away. She knew she'd fail even if she tried to.Xandros's lips curved up in a smirk as he ran his eyes over her, definitely enjoying the thrill he got in seeing her like this."Gaia, take her to the car."******"What happened to Dan?" She suddenly asked after excruciating moments of silence and Gaia turned to stare at her."You don't have to concern yourself with that." He replied."Can I...can I just know, please?""Anna.""Is he dead?" She continued, not willing to back off till she got the truth. She would get it."He's not. But would be...soon. He doesn't deserve to live." She went mute."The fvcker used Xandros's money to build Abaddon and sold people in it, using Xandros's money. He's a fool for thinking he would live. You can't live when you're decide to betray Lord Xandros. He made that mistake in the past, he wouldn't make it again. Not again." His fists clenched tightly and Anna knew h
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
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
