Chapter Three

Andras POV

I don't think Cassandra realized how powerful Allana was. I laugh, recalling the anger on her face as Allana stormed out of the throne room, turning her back on the Seelie queen. Cassandra's blatant hatred for

Allana will benefit both of us.

“What took you so long, Andras?”

I hiss as my anger rises.

“You know better than to question me, Cassandra.”

”I need your services, Andras,”

She saunters toward me, running her hand down my chest to the waistband of my trousers.

“You must want something significant from me this time Cassandra.”

“I will make it worth your time Andras.”

“Don't fuck with me, Cassandra. I have a realm full of women more beautiful than you willing to share my bed”.

Cassandra laughs sarcastically.

“They don't have my Fae blood running through their veins, though, do they, Andras?”

I know Cassandra realizes she has fucked up when I hear her heart racing. She takes a step away from me,

“Do you want to die, Cassandra?”

I stalked slowly toward her, smiling as her fear rose.

“You can't run from me, Cassandra.”

My cock strains against my trouser’s in anticipation. She smiles as she removes her clothes; her every move is deliberate. The stupid bitch thinks she can manipulate me that easily?

“You know I like it rough, don't you, Andras.”

Cassandra grips my length tightly with both hands, stroking me as she releases my cock from my pants. I growl, pushing her backward and grabbing her ankles as I pull her roughly to the edge of her bed. She opens her legs wide and places them on my shoulders. She moans as I run the tip of my cock and the opening of her wet pussy, thrusting my pulsing cock deep inside her. She squirms against me, her pussy tightly clamping around me.  My cock throbs as I push deeper inside her wet cunt. Her juices coat my balls. I look into her eyes, snarling as I sink my teeth deep into her neck. I  release endorphins, increasing her pleasure as she screams, and her orgasm peaks taking her over the edge of sanity—my gums are tingling with the exquisite taste of her blood, sating my blood lust. I laugh, knowing I will do whatever she wants me to do. I look at her, detangling my body from hers, before asking,

“What do you want from me, Cassandra? I have someone waiting for me?”

She hisses.

“I want to hurt Allana. The bitch dared to disrespect me in my court.”

Raising my eyebrows, I can't help goading her.

“Did you know Allana has a granddaughter Cassandra? She will be beautiful like her grandmother.”

Her eyes sparkle with malice.

“Get her for me tonight, Andras.”

“Why should I do that for you?”

“My dungeons are overflowing with Dark Fae. You can have your pick of them.”

“I will want six females,”

“Agreed, I will tell the guards you will be there shortly. They will have them ready for you before you return."

As I turn away from her, she adds,

“Send Gabriel in when you leave Andras.”

I turn around, wrapping my hands around her throat and squeezing, cutting off her air supply. Cassandra forgot who she was speaking to; I leaned close to her ear and sneered.

“You forget yourself bitch, I will bring the girl to you, but you will receive no more warnings; disrespect me again, and I will kill you.”

I leave the Seelie queen naked, gasping for air as I teleport to the Unseelie realm; my men are waiting for me. I had unfinished business in this realm and intended to take care of it before meeting Allana.

I watch as Allana leaves; the girl has gone to bed. Olivia is still downstairs. Her scent remains fresh even after all this time. It is a shame to kill her. I will give her one more chance to come with me. I walk into the house, my men following discreetly behind me. She is startled, not expecting to see me again, 

“What are you doing here, Andras?”

“I thought you would be pleased to see me now that Lysandra is dead.”

Olivia's voice trembles with fear as she whispers,

“You are a cruel bastard, Andras. I have been trying to forget you existed for the last twenty years.”

I shrug,

“You have another child Olivia. Don't you wish to see him?”

The scent of her fear as it fills the room is intoxicating; she stammers,

“You killed Lysandra; you will not touch Lisha.”

Blood pounds in my head,

“I did not kill Lysandra, Olivia.”

I can see she doesn't believe what I say; I smirk. I wouldn't either.

“Come with me, Olivia, and I will protect you and your daughter.” 

Olivia’s eyes widen in shock at what I am saying; she hangs her head before whispering,

“You raped me, Andras, and then took our child. Why would I want to be with you,”

Rage consumes me; I nod to my men. She screams as they take hold of her.

“I will kill you and take your daughter. Allana will not be able to stop me”.

She starts crying, begging me.

“Please don't hurt my daughter, Andras.”

My voice is cold as I look at my men and say,

“Kill her."

Olivia’s daughter had woken up when she heard her mother's scream. I drag her from her bed, teleporting into the cold night. My magic surrounds her, and she gasps, trying to breathe. I hiss,

“Be quiet, don't scream or struggle, or death will come to you sooner rather than later,”

She stops struggling as she loses consciousness. The Seelie guards have the females waiting for me. Looking at them in contempt, I snarl,

“Don't touch this one; the Queen wants her unhurt,” 

They laugh, chattering amongst themselves until I throw the one closest to me against the stone wall. Their mocking laughter stops as the guard's blood flows freely, pooling on the ground where he lands. When I return to my realm, my men await my orders.

“

Take this lot to the cells, and do not drink their blood.”

They bow; I narrow my eyes and sneer,

“Disobey me, and I won't hesitate will kill you all.”

Allana is already here, pacing the throne room. She wrinkled her nose, looking at me scornfully,

“You smell like Cassandra, Andras. You could have least showered before you saw me.”

“What do you want, Allana?”

“I have already told you, Andras, I want peace for my people.”

I shake my head and snarl,

"You are up to something, Allana. Get the fuck out of my home, and don't return.”

Her voice becomes cool as she says.

“You are a fool to trust, Cassandra.”

My voice drips with contempt.

“I don't trust Cassandra; I fuck her.”

Her dress swirls around her ankles as she turns, storming out of my throne room.

Allana POV

I hold back my need to scream in frustration. Why is everything so difficult where Andras is concerned? I was happy to set aside the fact that he raped Olivia if it achieved what I wanted. I stumble as my sight descends on me. Andras commanded his men to kill Olivia. Lisha has been placed in the Seelie Queen's hands. Cassandra has set the wheels in motion; I will not do anything to stop this. 

Speaking to Andras was one of many reasons I came here tonight. I am not leaving this realm until I find Xavier. He plays a vital role in my sister and my plans. I need to tell him who his mother was and who killed her. I find Xavier alone in his chambers; I am surprised at how much he reminds me of Olivia. Xavier’s lips curl with disgust when he looks at me, asking.

“What do you want with me, Fae?”

“I only need a few minutes of your time Xavier.” 

"I have no interest in you. I am not my father.” 

“Can I come in, Xavier? I need to speak to you privately?”

His eyes narrowed, hesitating slightly before opening the door wider, allowing me access.

“Has your father ever told you who your mother was?”

He crosses his arms tightly across his chest and growls.

“Why don't you say what you must, then leave.” 

I gaze at him, refusing to break eye contact as I tell him about Olivia.

"Your mother's name was Olivia. Earlier tonight, your father commanded his men to kill her.”

"What the fuck are you talking about, and how could you possibly know any of this?" 

“Olivia had a daughter. She is your half-sister; Andras kidnapped her and gave her to the Seelie Queen.” 

 Xavier could barely control his anger as he paced around his chamber and hissed. 

“What do you expect me to do?”

“I will need your help to save her, Xavier. She is also my granddaughter.”

I finally have his full attention.

“My name is Allana; you will find me at the werewolf village in the Unseelie realm when you want to know more.”

I have to walk away. If Xavier believes my tale, he will find me. I need to go home and plan our next move.
