Hi guys, please. note that from chapter 15 to 30 are unedited and they have a lot of errors and repetition in the paragraphs. I was writing in two places and they ended up being doubled. please be patient and if you can't read, it would be edited soon. If you decide to keep going, please do not leave negative reviews outside of the book, I am aware of these issues and I'm doing my best to correct it. Thank you for reading.
ADRIANA'S POVI followed Daciana out of the room, my heart racing with excitement. It felt good to be out of that stuffy, cramped space, and I couldn't wait to feel the sun on my face and the grass beneath my feet. As we stepped into the hallway, I was startled to see Donavan standing there, a sinister look on his face. He glared at us, his eyes cold and hard.His lips were curled back in a snarl, revealing a set of sharp teeth. He looked like a predator, ready to pounce on his prey at any moment.Whatever horrible things he was planning from the calculating look in his eyes, I know I will be at the end of receiving it. I shuddered at that thought and immediately looked away. I needed to be careful around Donavan, I may have only spoken to him a few times but there is this cold energy he has that doesn't sit well with me and for someone who has the bad luck of always attracting trouble, he is a trouble i shouldn't go close to. He has been cold towards me since the first time we met
ADRIANA’S POV I hadn't seen Alpha Xander since the day in the hallway, along with Donovan. I can’t say I'm sad about it. I asked Daciana though, just to be clear if it is a normal occurrence or just a one time thing. She said it was because he was busy with pack work and general work, mentioning he was always like that. I felt instant relief. I slipped into bed and could have sworn I felt someone come into the room when I was sleeping, but I couldn’t be sure so I just passed it off as a dream. I woke up the next morning, slightly feeling better and stronger. I dressed in a simple sundress I’d found on my bed when I walked out. It didn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out who kept it there. Then I went and had breakfast with Daciana and Donavan in the dining room, I had barely slept at all. I’d almost tripped when I noticed him, he saw me too as soon as I entered and that made me forget about my escape. I was too nervous and anxious, my mind racing with thoughts of Donavan'
ADRIANA’S POV "Aiden!" I called out in a shaky voice, tears streaming down my face. The guards that were locking him in turned around and looked at me in shock, but I didn't care about them. I was looking at the locked door in front of me, I couldn’t really see the inside and it made my anxiety skyrocket but I saw him. I had no idea what they were doing to him there and i didnt want to think about it. "What are you doing here?" one of the two buff guards asks harshly.. "Please, Miss," the other said, his voice shaking. "You have to leave. It's not safe here. The Alpha will not be happy to find you here." I hesitated, my heart racing with fear. I knew that I should leave, that I should get as far away from there as soon as possible before Xander gets notified. But I couldn't leave without making sure Aiden is fine. "I can't leave," I said, my voice firm. "I won't leave Aiden here. He needs my help." The guard looked at me with desperation in his eyes. The other stayed, silently
XANDER'S POVI sat in the council room, my mind racing as I tried to come up with a plan for how Daciana and I would talk to Donavan about his current misbehavior concerning Adriana. I had just sent Aiden to the dungeon, knowing full well that the warrior would be locked up for a long time. But as I sat there, lost in thought, Daciana burst into the room, her eyes wild with panic."Xander," she panted, "have you seen Adriana?"I hadn't seen Adriana since the previous night. My heart skipped a beat as I saw the panic on her face."No," I said, trying to remain calm. "Why? Is something wrong?""She's gone," she said, her voice breaking. "I went to check on her right now, and she wasn't in her room. I've looked everywhere, and I haven't seen her yet." I had a cold dread wash over me. I knew that Adriana would surely be upset about Aiden's incarceration, but I never thought she would run away or do anything stupid. I facepalmed, groaning as I thought about it.I stood up abruptly, my chai
ADRIANA'S POVI sat on the floor, feeling the weight of Donovan's anger bearing down on me. I had never seen him so furious before and I couldn't understand why he would force me to say nothing when Xander would come here. I had only come to visit Aiden, and now I was being consumed by Donovan's rage.Suddenly, the door burst open and Xander stormed in, followed by Daciana. His eyes were blazing with rage and he was growling like a caged beast. Donovan quickly called for them to come and witness what I had done.As I sat there on the floor, my heart pounding in my chest as I remembered Donovan's words. He was going to tell them that I had been caught in a compromising position with Aiden, and I knew that Xander would be furious. He might even kill Aiden for it. He chuckled before reminding me that Xander was already very close. A shudder slid its way down my spine.Daciana ran towards me and grabbed me by the arm and pulled me to my feet."What is the meaning of this?" he roared. I wa
ADRIANA'S POVI sat curled up on my bed, tears streaming down my face. Still trying to process everything that had just happened. Xander had attacked me, because I had been lied against. He never wanted to believe me, instead he insisted on believing Donvan. I had only come to visit Aiden,which was understandable, and now I was being consumed by Xander’s rage and Donovan's fury. I couldn’t help but wonder when all this would die down.I had been locked in my room for a day now, and I still had no answers. I had no idea what was going on or when Xander would consider letting me out. I felt so alone and helpless. I couldn't even talk to anyone about what had happened because I was locked in my room with no way out.I tried to make sense of it all, but my mind was a jumbled mess. All I could think about was the look of anger and betrayal in Xander's eyes. How could he believe that I would do something like that? How could Donovan ever come up with something like that?I couldn't stop the
ADRIANA'S POVMy mouth watered as I took in the platter of food, I couldn't wait to dig in. The maids set the tray on the table next to my bed and left the room, leaving me alone with my meal. I started with the soup, as it was still steaming hot. The broth was rich and flavorful, and it was filled with chunks of vegetables and tender pieces of meat. The warmth of it soothed my soul, and I felt my body relax as I ate.Next, I moved on to the roasted chicken and vegetables. The chicken was juicy and tender, and it had a crispy golden skin. The vegetables were seasoned with herbs and had a nice crunch to them. I ate quickly, as I was famished and the food was delicious. I then moved on to the pasta, which was tossed with a rich, creamy sauce, and it was heavenly. The pasta was al dente, and the sauce was so flavorful, it was hard to resist eating more than I should.I finished off my meal with some fruit and a warm piece of bread. The fruit was fresh, and it had a sweetness that was irr
XANDER'S POVI couldn't believe what I had heard. I didn't want to believe Daciana when she was hinting at it. Adriana had gone back to see Aiden. I couldn't understand why she would do something like that, especially after everything that had happened. After I had warned her sternly. But Donovan telling me that he caught her with Aiden was where I drew the line. I didn't want to believe him, because Aiden had been tortured before then, but her silence said a lot.I was filled with rage, and I couldn't control my anger. I paced back and forth in my chambers, trying to make sense of it all. I knew that I had to do something about it, and I knew that I would have to kill Aiden to stop all this.I knew that killing Aiden and not keeping my word about living him alive wouldn't be an easy task. But I also knew that I couldn't let him live, not after what he had done and what he would cause me in the future. He was taking my mate away from me, and I couldn't let him get away with it.I thou
