{Adriannas POV}
"Okay honey, here's the key for the Rover and keys to the cabin. I spoke to the admin department already and they have a space for you to park the Rocer when you get back." my dad said as he handed me the keys. I settled on the black Ranger Rover Evoque. I always loved the one my dad has back home so I was excited my dad agreed to getting me one. The weekend went by quick and it helped alot having my family with me. Since the incident on Friday, I never caved into my feelings and I still refused to. Although my parents were leaving today, I decided I'd just drive up to campus in time for my first lecture tomorrow because I didn't want anyone to ruin my mood right now and I couldn't afford to break down.
"Bye honey, we'll call when we land okay?" my mom said giving me a big hug.
As they drove off, a part of me wanted to go back with them and forget the last 3 weeks but I couldn't let them win, I had to stick this out, regardless of how broken I felt.
I decided to call it a night and head to bed before I got too deep into my feelings. I'd deal with tomorrow when I have to.
As nervous as I was to drive up to campus, I also couldn't wait to see Ella, I actually missed her a ton. When I turned my phone on last night, I saw multiple messages and calls from her and Kane but I never opened any of them, I knew she'd understand when I explained it to her, my only hope was that she wouldn't be too mad at me. I parked the car and headed towards the dorm hoping I don't run into anyone. Just my luck, I bumped into Damian and nearly lost my footing
"Ah f*ck, sorry" he said, then he looked at me with a surprised expression "Adrianna? Are you okay? We've been looking for you, where have you been?"
"Hey Damian, uhm sorry for that. I was with my family at our cabin closer to town. Sorry kind of in a rush, need to get my things for the lecture" and quickly passed him, hoping he wouldn't follow.
I rounded the corner of the dorms and casually leaning against the door was Kane. F*ck, I knew I'd have to face him but I didn't expect it to be so early. He looked up immediately and I could see the pain in his eyes but also he was pissed off.
"What the f*ck Adrianna" he said as I got closer.
"Excuse me?" I said, trying hard to compose myself. Why the hell was he pissed off and so rude to me? I wasn't the one cheating
"How could you just leave like that? Do you have any idea the hell I went through?" he said as I opened the door and gestured for him to get. Alright it was time I gave him a piece of my mind, the hell he went through? Did he think he could have his cake and eat it? Me as his mate and Margaret as his side? I shut the door and immediately got pinned against it as his lips crashed into mine. I missed this so much, and every hair on my body stood at attention as the sparks ran through my body, making me weak in the knees. This shouldn't be happening. It took all of energy to push him away, but he just came back, even stronger and more forceful than before. That's how he wants to play? Fine. I manipulated the air around me and released a gust of wind, pushing him across the room, I placed him on Ellas bed and then finally released him.
"What the f*ck?!" he said looking at me confused "Adrianna I-"
"Enough!" I shouted "Stay on that side Kane, or so help me God I'll throw you through the window. You don't get to be angry or pissed off Kane and you don't get to kiss let alone touch me after the s**t you did!" I said
"Adrianna what the hell just happened? Did you just threaten to throw him out the window?" Ella said as she came out of the bathroom
"Ella, you don't know what he did-"
"I know everything Adi, and trust me, before you blow your top off you need to listen to him" she cut me off. Why the hell was she taking his side? Was she so blinded by her love that she rather take his Alphas side than mine? Some f*cking friend!
"Adrianna I swear, Margaret got into my room and was naked when I got there, I kept telling her to leave but she kept pushing herself on me. I was about to physically throw her out when you got there. I swear I would never do anything like this!" he said and he got up and started walking towards me "Stay where you are Kane" I said and he froze. How could I trust him?
"Adi remember the mate bond? You would of felt it if he did do something wrong" Ella said
"Maybe he didn't physically do anything and I caught him in the nick of time, that's why I didn't feel anything" I said, I couldn't just let this go, I can't forget the pain I've been since it happened. If I give in now, it'll only hurt more if things don't work out between us and I'm not sure if I'm willing to take the leap anymore.
"Adi, none of it makes sense, think about it. Why would Kane call you to his room only for him to be caught with someone else? We believe Martin and Margaret planned to break you guys apart but we haven't figured out why. At least we know why Margaret would do it but we don't understand why Martin would" she said, almost pleading for me to let it go.
"Martin? I saw him this weekend" I said, equally confused about his motives.
"What?" Kane shouted "He knew where you were this whole time while pretending to help us look for you! That son of a bi-"
"I'm so sorry Kane" and finally I gave in, and let every emotion I kept in flow. As much as I was scared, I couldn't believe I let this happen and it was all my fault. I was so stubborn that I ran the moment trouble came and never bothered looking back. I should of trusted Kane, instead I ran. Why do I always run?! I couldn't stop crying, and I'm sure it was an ugly site, but I couldn't stop. Every piece of my heart that broke was all my own doing, and knowing what I just did to Kane made everything worse. I fell to the ground and immediately Kane was by my side trying to calm me down but I could barely hear anything. I deserved to feel this way because of all the s**t I put everyone through.
"I'm such a horrible person, you're my mate and I didn't even trust you enough to let you speak. I hurt you, I'm so sorry" I kept sobbing into his shoulder. He pulled my face up and I shut my eyes, I couldn't look at him after what I did.
"Adrianna look at me, please" he said and I didn't listen. "Adrianna!" he shouted and my eyes flung open "I don't blame you, what you saw was messed up and you shouldn't blame yourself, I don't blame you baby." he said and I shut my eyes again as I started to ugly cry even more after hearing his words. "We made a deal remember? No more running away" he said then he kissed me, softly and gentle and I knew he forgave me but still I couldn't stop crying. The more I thought of Margaret and Martin however, I could feel the rage build up and I concentrated on that, and eventually the tears stopped.
"Kane, what are we going to do about them? Margaret and Martin I mean?" I asked while he wiped the tear stains of my cheeks
"Well how about you tell me how you managed to fly me across the room first?" He asked and I just hung my head in shame.
"I'll get to my first class, I'm glad you're back together by the way" Ella said and she left.
"I... uhm.. Im.. err..." I started to stutter not know how to explain and the words weren't even forming in my brain
"Relax Adrianna, take a deep breathe and tell me what's going on" he said in a soothing voice. Well here we go I guess.
{Kanes POV}
After Saturday morning passed, I decided to let the guys off from looking for Adrianna, I knew she'd be with her parents by then and it was hopeless trying to find her. I made a decision that if she didn't return by Monday morning I'd call up her dad to figure out if he knew anything. Apart of me prayed she doesn't leave with them before I had a chance to explain what actually happened. I was still in my dorm when I got a mind link from Damian
Kane, Adrianna is on her way to her dorm she ju-
I didn't bother to hear anything else and I sprinted to her dorm, when I got there I knocked on the door but no one answered, I was about to call Ella but I saw Adrianna walking towards the dorm. When I saw her, I was pissed of because she ran, and we had a deal. Once we got into her room, I couldn't help but kiss her and I could feel her trying to fight me off but I didn't care, I needed her to feel my need for her. All of a sudden I felt a gust of wind pushing me off her and into the bed and it mind f*cked me to say the least. Thankfully Ella was still here and she helped make Adrianna see sense. Seeing her heart broken and crying only made me hurt more, but I knew she'd forgiven me. Once she calmed down I had to know what the hell happened before.
I was shocked when she said she was a hybrid, and a princess at that. I couldn't believe it, after she spoke all I could do was sit in silence to try and process what she told me. No wonder her father was over protective, from the little I know about Avarians, they were traditional folk and never believed in interspecies mingling, let alone mating. I'm sure her father must of sacrificed alot to be with her mother and it wouldn't of been easy for her mother either.
"Kane?" Adrianna barely whispered when she called out my name, I looked up could see that she was nervous. I must of been quiet way too long.
"Adrianna, I'm sorry, its alot to process" I said, and I saw her face drop immediately
"I'm sorry, if you need time, I'll understand"
Need time?
"Hey, look at me. I don't need time, I never want to be away from you ever again. I don't care what species you are Adrianna, I love you regardless" I shocked myself by saying I love her but I meant every word. Nothing could ever change how I felt about her. She started crying and I was abit taken back, I picked up her chin and looked at her wondering whats going on in that mind of hers.
"I love you Kane Xiaver, I really do" and she cried even harder, and gave a wet kiss. My heart felt like it was about to jump out of my chest when I heard her say it, and honestly it made me forget everything that happened and I felt like we were the only two people in the world. I would do anything for her and I know she felt the same.
The kiss deepened and became more passionate then ever, I pulled away to look at her and I saw her eyes were full of lust and want. I knew if we continued I wouldn't stop because I felt exactly the same way.
"Kane I want you, I want all of you. I'm ready" she said and I thought she couldn't make me happier a second ago, but she just did. Seeing her teary eyes I knew this wasn't the right moment, I didn't want her to think about on her first time and have it tainted by the emotional Rollercoaster she just went through.
"Baby, I promise you'll have all of me soon, just not right now" I saw her face fall and she looked embarrassed "Tonight, come spend the night with me okay? I just want to make it special for you baby, nothing else. I want you so badly, but not mixed with the roller-coaster we just went on, okay?" immediately she looked up at me, and she smiled and just nodded, giving me a small peck on the nose. "Are you up for your classes this morning? Or would you like to just stay in for a while?" I didn't think she'd want to leave the room now, I could tell she needed some time to just breathe and deal with everything, and frankly so do I. She just shook her and cuddled up to me on her bed. We ended talking for hours about her family and everything that she had to do in order to be at the school, about how she grew up. Everything finally made sense, her vague responses and cryptic conversations. She even made me pinky swear I wouldn't tell a single soul, I would of done it without the pinky but whatever.
Eventually she ended up falling asleep so I took the time to mind link Wyatt, I needed help for tonight. After that I fell off into a peaceful sleep, which I couldn't do the last 3 nights.
