Nadia's POV



'What's up?" He asked. 'Why are you alone in the dark?" I know how Landon sounds when he just did something wrong, I wouldn't call it ‘the nerves' but he definitely seems over caring in a way, making the victim question whether they are really a victim, or just overreacting.

I don't really realise how I let time slip by and not reply to him.

'Why are you not saying anything?" He asked me, after I let his second question go unanswered again.


'I didn't hear what you said." I don't know where the courage came from, but I want to make him repeat himself. Just maybe on the second try, he'll be able to reason, reason himself to shame and think about how I actually would be feeling.

Truth be told, I want to kill him, kill him and kill myself. That way, we'll be at peace finally.


'Nadia!" He bellows, snapping me out of my thoughts.

'Welcome back, " I said finally. 'Landon." Calling his name at the end to buttress the fact that I do not care anymore. And I know he will get the message.

'Why that tone?" He asked, a little less harsher than I was expecting, leaving me a little disappointed. That outburst, that uncontrollable anger is what I'm going for and I plan to get it from him.

'Why this time?" I gave the comeback like it was the answer he is expecting.

'Nadia, it is definitely not the first, but I want it to be the last time you question me stupidly. It might have cost you your life if I wasn't in a good mood." He said like he was just reading news or flipping through pages and not threatening my life.

'That's the least one would expect actually. I mean, you probably had the time of your life riding someone who is horribly beneath you in both class and intelligence, you rode poor her and your wretched self into the most disgusting orgasm I could actually ever imagine." My face is the straightest it could be. I want to feel guilty for talking to him that way, especially since he was the one who reached out first.

Normally, I'm the one who starts the conversation and has to endure his dry ass replies. It's his time to get a taste of his own medicine.

'If you spent your time here alone in the dark analyzing how I had fun and who I had it with, I'm going to have to tell you that that was a waste of your not so precious time. Because I'm going to tell you how it went, so you wouldn't have to imagine." He replied to me, heartlessly.

'And how does that sound to you?" I threw back feeling irritated, very annoyed, and a little violated.

You know what they say about killing the enemy to kill yourself?" He asked, rather very pissed at me, 'it's what I'm about to do."

I really do not give a fuck if he goes physical or not, I just don't want to swallow how I feel this time around, in so bloody not doing that.

'Have at it. As your enemy is death itself." I threw back at him, fearlessly.

'You sound so stupid.*

'So do you. Actually you have always done. You barely make sense, ninety percent of the time, you sound stupid."

'Nadia!" He roars. 'Watch your mouth. What has gotten over you.

It was then I realized that the tears had been streaming down. I did not want to let them show, but it's so fucking hard to be as heartless as Landon is.

'I really do not know why I keep you around and alive." He said. I was expecting that sooner than it came.

Seeing that Landon likes to engage me physically than he does verbally.

'Ohh, that's not a surprise. To be honest I had been expecting it since forever." I'm hysterical and talking in between sobs. Even to my irrational self, I sound irrational, quite cringe actually.

'I'm just a second away from snatching your head off your body." it's dark but I can imagine the veins in his neck and forehead standing out, with his fist balled like they were ready to crush whatever is annoying him.

All the anger leaves me. I feel more misery.

He noticed I crashed back into the chair, and stopped replying to him.

My hands cup my head, ‘cause it feels so heavy. In that instant, I regret all life choices I ever made that brought me any inch close to this path, to meeting Landon, even though I know the ball was largely out of my court.

'Nadia." His voice is neither loud nor scary, just devoid of emotion.

My lips feel glued to each other and parting them is a chore, so I just kept mute. Let whatever is going to happen, happen. It's so bad I doubt it could get any worse.

'Don't come any closer." I said to him,

This is one reason Landon and I would always be mates. In fact, Moon Goddess really saw deep into the future before binding us together. As tough and gruff, maybe wicked too like certain pack mates would call him, as he is, he is also a softie, when he wants to be.

I, in turn, know when to throw tantrums and make him do what I want him to do. Or guilt trip him and make him satisfy me.

Oddly, but not unusual, I began to feel excited.

And since we work the same way through mindlink, I know he is too.

The house is quiet for a minute. None of us are both moving from our spot.

'What is going on?" This is the ‘sexy conversational' version of Landon. The one I like the most.

'You tell me." I replied. 'Oh, you said you were going to." I continued. 'How was she?" I asked him tauntingly, knowing he should be feeling a little ashamed now. 'Better than me?" I heard a sigh escape him as soon as I said it.

'Stop it, Dia." He calls the shortened form of my name when he wants to be endearing.

'You know, while you fuck that poor lowly slave, thrusting your girth in and out of her, wasting your beta seed in someone who would never worth as much as a penny, I could be under the Alpha if I wanted to."

Landon is quiet as the reality of what I'm saying sets into him.

'I don't even have to stress it, better still, you wouldn't know. It's just your poor sister who'll feel the pangs." I continued. 'And you know what, I think I've been catching glances from Vance lately. While he's still angry with my guts for showing up at his bedroom on his wedding night two years after, he can't resist imagining the sparks that fly when we do what we do."

I said all I said in such a sensual voice it feels like I even turned myself on some more.
