Chapter 57 Chapter 56
ALPHA XANDER'S POV
If I didn't have a modicum of respect for Adriana's father, my fist would have met his face hours ago. He has been upsetting me steadily since he got here, and I didn't even sit with him for more than thirty minutes. I knew he was on his way, after I'd called for him I knew he would come soon if he was smart. Then I went to tell her, knowing she would appreciate it. She hasn't spoken to any of them since she came here. I didn't know how other families were seeing as mine were fucked up, but I thought she would be excited to see someone from her family.
The reaction I got after she entered was something I didn't expect. I'm not going to mention it now, seeing as we weren't exactly the best of friends so I doubted she would appreciate it. Her fear was potent in the room, she didn't even try to hide it. That angered me more than her father ever could.
She should not be scared of him, I owned that! If she is to fear anyone in this world, then it should be me, not her weak ass father. That just renewed my hate for the man. He was a pussy and he didn't deserve her.
No one was that scared of their father, I'd hated my father but I never feared him. He was a terrible man, and an even worse leader and father. All of it didn't account to how she felt when her father started speaking.
Although pride filled my chest when she stood up to him and said no, I didn't know what I would have done had she agreed to go with him.
I wasn't stupid enough to think she was going to come back and I would die before I let her slip from between my fingers. The drink wasn't out of courtesy, I wanted him to know I could kick his ass if I wanted, but the only reason I'm hesitating is because of her. If he gave me a reason to do what I said I would, she might just have to mourn her father. I knew damn well I wouldn't stop until I held his lifeless body in my hands.
"Talk." I commanded, like he needed my permission to know when to start talking.
Adriana was still looking down, I'm sure picking at her fingers. Her heart beat still hasn't gone back to normal. I didn't know why she was stopping herself from snapping. I gathered she was scared of him, I couldn't know why and I doubted she would tell me. It doesn't mean I wouldn't try though.
"I've already said all that I want." Jameson said, his voice cold. I could almost smell the growl on him but he kept to himself. His eyes were almost black, his wolf present though not fully showing. Wolves knew lycans were their predators so they were careful around him. Like him now, his wolf wasn't present because of his anger, maybe a little bit. But he smells a predator and is ready to either fight or find an escape route. If he was even remotely smart, he would know the latter was his best option.
"You can do whatever you want. Since you choose to be a traitor." He stood up and straightened the creases from his chest. I took my glass to my lips and took a small sip, watching him with amusement at his bitching. "Do you think he loves you?" he was looking down at his daughter, a mocking sneer on his face. "He only wants what's between your pants and when he is done with you, he will discard you. Don't think you can come back to us because 'm not taking any leftovers." He stalked out of the room after that, almost tripping on his way out.a
I watched the place he'd been standing in, surprised that he would speak to his daughter that way. Adriana didn't seem all that bothered by it, which meant it wasn't the first time he was insulting her. It annoyed the hell out of me though and I immediately linked Donovan and gave him a few instructions, knowing he was going to carry it out with joy.
"Have you eaten?" I asked Adriana, studying her to see if she had any signs of discomfort. I haven't let myself go to the dungeon, not wanting to see that wolf just yet. I didn't trust myself not to kill him the moment I got my hands on him.
"No," she whispered, her voice low and losing the spine like when she spoke to her father. I wanted her to speak to me the way she did to him, with confidence. It would feel all the better when I had her whimpering beneath me.
"Go now." I dismissed simply, my thoughts were getting out of hand. I might be tempted to bend her over my desk and have her whimpering a lot sooner than what I have planned. And I promised myself, the first time I had her, I was going to enjoy myself thoroughly. I would take my time with her.
"Thank you." She said, a little louder than the first time. Her eyes were still downcast as she got up and walked out of the office. My eyes pinned to her plump backside as she strutted out of the room. I doubted she knew she was a weapon fashioned to destroy every man's self control, starting with my control. The gentle sway of her hips that told you it was natural, she didn't have to add anything extra.
"Fuck," I groaned fisting myself through my pants. Images of her naked ass, bent over the bed and me ramming into her from behind filled my head. I stroked myself through my pants, knowing there was no way I could work now that all I can imagine is my hands gripping her and claiming her as mine. Bathing her in my cum, marking her as mine in every way. I would start out slow, easing her into it. Making her forget every man's touch before mine. The thought of someone else touching her angered me but she would forget every single one of them. And if I have their names, they'll be dead soon enough.
I needed to get that done over with very soon. My control was very close to snapping and that wouldn't be the best thing.
'Have you figured out what you wanted?' Donovan's voice coming through the mindlink acted as a cold shower to me. My dick immediately softened when I heard him speak.
"Fuck!" I said through the mind link and out loud. I'd totally forgotten the main reason I wanted to see Adriana's father in the first place. Seeing his face had annoyed me and all I wanted was to bash it in, everything else blurred itself in my head.
'I'll stop him.' Donovan said and closed our mindlink. I know I wouldn't hear the end of it when he comes back but I could deal with him if he came back.
When I'd been with Adriana, a force had pushed me off her. But she was still so it couldn't be her. There was no one else there and it piqued my interest. I didn't let it show, wanting to investigate on my own first before bringing it up.
We weren't sure but she already had targets on her back and there must be a reason for that. That is what I have to find out. And soon. I was deep in thought when I felt someone trying to mindlink, I let them in. The gamma's voice filled my head, full of panic.
'Alpha, you were right. There are more of them, the school just got attacked.'
