Semua Bab Marked by betrayal, bound to the Lycan Lord.: Bab 11 - Bab 20

KAEL’S POVShe turned around sharply and made to run away, and I actually let her, I wanted to see how fast she was. She ran like a scared wounded prey, I watched her sprint into the alley like she thought she could outrun what she’d seen — outrun me. How pathetic. “Xena!” I shouted, walking behind her. She didn’t stop.I was tired of this pathetic game already, even though it just started. Most of the people who I run after were my preys, actually preys that I would devour in seconds. I caught up to her and grabbed her arm… gently, but enough to stop her. She struggled to break free, her breath short, tears flowing down her cheeks, she didn't dare look at me, her fists beating on my chest like I was the devil.“Will you fucking calm down?” I snapped. She didn't answer, she just broke down in my hands. “I told you to stay in the car.”Her mouth fell open as she fumbled over her words, her eyes were still shut, she was just shaking, more tears falling down. “Why the hell didn’t

XENA’S POVMy soul left my body as I heard someone knock on the door. I was still drowning in fear after what I experience in the warehouse and Orion, what the hell was he thinking?Kill Kael? Seriously, I don't think I can even breathe the same air as he. If Kael finds out about what Orion and I discussed, I'm sure he would kill me immediately. But Orion was undeniably right, Kael would soon get tired of me and it's game over for me. I had to find a way out of this and it seems growing my own power was the only thing that was going to save me. I slowly stood up, waiting for the door to open but it didn't. I inhaled deeply, forcing myself to go to the door. My blood turned cold, seeing the person that knocked.Kael placed his arms on the door framed, his eyes slowly raising up, his deep ice blue eyes were handsome beautiful and dangerous at the same time. I swallowed hard, watching his lips curled into a faint smirk. “Hello, doll face.”He was wearing a black shirt, probably the sa

KAEL’S POVI stood in the hallway longer than I should’ve. My hand lingered on the door handle, and for the first time in years, I hesitated.I overheard her talking with Susan about some power shit. My lips slowly curled into a faint smile. It looks like I have underestimated my wife. I could still remember the fear in her eyes as I leaned closer to her, she had this big innocent eyes that were captivating. Despite trying to act soft… she still trembled like I was her executioner.The funny part? I wanted to kiss her. Not because I’m in love—fuck that fairy tale shit. But because I could, because the look in her eyes said she hated me and needed me all at once.She’s not ready for what I really am but she will be…it's just a matter of time but that's all depending on her. Would she fold or would she fly?“Sir?”Viktor’s voice cut through my thoughts like a blade. He was always there, lurking when I wasn’t in the mood to explain myself.I turned to him, taking in deeps breaths We

XENA'S POVThe moon was already high in the sky when I finally made it back home. I walked through the hallway, looking back anytime I heard a sound. I didn't expect to be this late but at least I got what I wanted. Lady Megan wanted to see me again, anytime I had time…yeah, anytime I had time, meaning she would be the one waiting for my invitation not me waiting for hers. Susan was pacing the hallway, immediately she saw me she ran to me. “You are late,” she whispered, her brows furrowed. “Did Kael ask for me?” I asked. “Kael isn't home yet, thankfully, what took you so long?” She frowned. I held her hands, my lips curled into a bright smile. “Lady Megan wants to see again.”Her eyes widened. “Really?” I nodded. “She said that she would be waiting for my invitation, isn't this good?”“It is more than good, Xena, I'm proud of you,” she smiled. “Now go to your room and change, do you need me to bring you something?” I shook my head. “Nah, I had dinner at her place, I really full

XENA’S POVI didn’t hear him come in, one moment the moon was shining across the floor, the night breeze drifted in, and the next—he was leaning against the doorframe like sin himself. His black shirt was unbuttoned, his tie undone and his cuffs rolled up. His lips curled into a faint smile as he walked in. My jaw dropped as my eyes licked his bare chest. He was fucking hot, his ice blue eyed were glistening in the dark, his dark shoulder length hair was packed into a loose bun. I swallowed hard, avoiding his gaze. "Miss me?" Kael asked, his deep voice dripping with danger. I inhaled deeply, darting my eyes left and right. I was curled up in the corner of the king-sized bed, a laptop open on my thighs, spreadsheets from half-finished business plan—his business, now partially mine. “You are up late, don't tell me you were waiting for me,” he smirked, sitting down beside me, his hands slowly placed beside me. I shifted uncomfortably, trying to hide the tension building up in
