Chapter 61

XANDER

I watched in horror as Adriana's eyes closed. I couldn't tell what overcame me. But something about her being her usual self didn't sit right with me. While I was on top of the world seeing her look at me like I was the best thing that happened to her. It didn't feel right.

And then I forced myself to wake up from the dream. If it was even a dream.

I thought, if somehow I was seeing the old her and conversing with the old her. She shouldn't have been that worried about me. I know she had feelings for me, but she wasn't in love with me. Even if it hurts to admit.

Dreaya got me, I'll admit.

For a moment I got lost in the euphoria but I was lucky enough to realize that fast. What was hard was breaking over whatever shackles she put on my mind. Imagine my surprise when I found myself holding my mate by the throat.

She looked scared. Terrified. And I wanted to cut my hands off from my body and throw them away.
