Xena’s POVI just stood there, completely frozen, my throat tightened immediately she walked in. Chloe was the last person I expected to see at this phase of my life, in fact I wasn't ready to face her, but fear wasn't the only emotion flowing through my veins. I felt my anger flaring up, even though I don't have the strength to tear her to pieces I still wanted to give it a shot. I could still hear her mocking laughter as she rode on Jason's dick. I could still hear her taunt and how could I forget…the neighbor who raped me was like a friend to her. I inhaled deeply, trying to control my emotions even though I didn't want to but I had no choice, Kael was still here and the last thing I wanted was for him to see me weak. Chloe walked in like she owned the building, like her perfume could buy her a seat next to royalty. I hated the way her scent filled the air, I hated the way her red short gown hugged her body revealing her perfect curves, I hated the way the sunlight made her sk
Xena’s POVI woke up with a bright smile as the sound of birds chirping outside my window pulled me out of sleep. I haven't heard this kind of peace in like forever. I guess it was the aftermath of what I did yesterday…even though I haven't recovered from it yet. I stretched and turned to the side, letting out a soft yawn, still feeling the warmth of the blanket wrapped around me. My eyes were barely open when I heard a soft chuckle and just like that, my peace shattered.I sat up instantly and screamed.“AHHH! What the hell!”Kael was sitting on the edge of the bed, his arms crossed, his eyes fixed on me with a lazy smirk. That stupid smirk that made him look like he owned the world—and me.“Morning, sunshine,” he said in that annoying calm voice of his.I grabbed the blanket, pulling it up to my chest. “What the hell are you doing here?”What kind of question is that Xena? He is definitely here to kill you, you acted like a fucking dick in his party yesterday, so he has come to t
Xena’s POVThe second I got into the car, I screamed, kicking the seat like it was my mortal enemy. Even I couldn't believe what just happened. My hands started shaking, my heart pounded, and I couldn’t stop breathing like I had just run a marathon. I slammed the door and sat there, frozen, then… I burst out laughing. Everything happened so fast that my brain couldn't process it. “What the hell did I just do?” I muttered to myself, laughing. I leaned forward, placing my elbows on my knees, my hands digging into my hair. “You’re so stupid, Xena,” I muttered. “So damn stupid. Who the hell offers their life to Kael Noirfang like it’s a damn candy bar?” I snorted. “You want to die? You really wanna die that bad?”“Fuck, he is going to kill me, I just sold my soul to the devil,” I paused, my mind going back to Chloe and Jason. They were the cause of all this. I swear if I end up dying without getting my revenge, I would haunt them as ghosts. That was a fucking promise. They don't des
AUTHOR’S POVThe restaurant was as lavish as Chloe’s ego. Crystal chandeliers dripped like stars from the ceiling, casting shimmering light over the polished marble floor. Waiters in white gloves served cocktails and rare seafood as Chloe and her entourage laughed over an expensive dinner that could feed a whole village.Chloe, glowing in a body-hugging red dress, scrolled through gowns on her phone. “What about this one?” she asked, turning the screen to show a sleek, diamond-encrusted white gown with a sheer corset top.“Oh my Goddess,” squealed Ava. “That’s the one! You’d look like royalty, Chloe!”“You already do,” another girl added quickly. “Jason’s going to pass out when he sees you walk down the aisle. You two are perfect together.”Chloe smirked. “He already thinks I’m his queen.”They all giggled.“He’s so hot,” said one. “God, if he ever leaves you, I swear I’d throw myself at him!”“He won’t,” Chloe said coolly. “Why would he settle for less when he has perfection?”The g
Kael’s POVI stood frozen for a moment, the room buzzing around me. My mind went blank, trying to process what I was seeing.How the hell did she leave the house? What happened to the securities I placed around her? All my men were ten times stronger, faster, and more vigilant than most average bodyguards. So how did an impure wolf sneak past them? Well, I guess I know the first thing I would be doing when I get back home and trust me, it's more than firing them. Xena walked towards me like she had every right to be here and there was something off about her. I wasn't the one to believe in fairytale so the most logical explanation to what is happening here is that — this isn't Xena. But that was a lie, this was the real Xena, as difficult as it was, it was the real Xena. My eyes darted to the empty glass I dropped on the table. I wasn't the type to get drunk easily— I don't think I have ever been drunk so yes, I was fucking very much sober, so I wasn't hallucinating…but I badly wis
Kael's POVDays had passed since Xena had done something stupid. She hadn’t dared make another move since I had made it clear what would happen if she stepped out of line again. She had learned her lesson, and I made sure she didn’t forget it and I made sure the security around her was tighter than ever. If she wasn’t so useful to me, I would have gotten rid of her already. But for now, she was still useful—just barely.Tonight, though, I had other things to focus on. I was invited to a party—one of those typical gatherings that high ranked wolves wanted to show off and of course, I had to be there. It was a ritual practiced for centuries. It was a boring ceremony— at least not until I modified it. Rather than the old boring pack thing, I made it an international thing where everyone comes to serve me. As soon as I walked in, the crowd went silent as I walked past them, some bowed their heads in respect and fear while some gave me slow nods. I didn't give a damn— I don't give a d
