Contract With Alpha Logan

Chapter 157

Astrid POV

Xander personified the concept of darkness. His mother’s neglect had caused him to lose the ability to feel love. It was replaced with a twisted sense of survival. However, it was his addiction that twisted every other emotion he had. I was sure that it was his mother from whom he must have stolen his first drug. Or who knows his mother had pushed him into it? Sometimes, I pitied him, and wondered if I could redeem him. But what he did with me was irredeemable.

The darkness surrounded me, resembling inky black waters. I wanted to surface, but a pounding ache on the back of my head made me groan.

“She’s awake!” a distant voice sounded that seemed warbled.

“Not yet,” another voice boomed.

The headache was too much to bear and so I succumbed to the darkness again. I woke up abruptly when cold water was suddenly splashed on my face. “Ahhh!” I groaned, trying to lap up the water. Instead, I licked the water that was on the black fabric enveloping me. I attempted to move my hands and legs, but they were firmly tied to whatever I was seated upon.

“Now she’s fully awake,” Xander’s voice boomed in what I think was a small room.

“Good! The bitch has been a thorn in my eyes. Now get your bloody signatures and kill her!” And this was Tracy.

I heard footsteps coming closer to me. As the black bag around my face was lifted, I felt a rush of fresh air against my cheeks. Sharp light fell on my face, making me wince. I closed my eyes and lowered my head until the effect was over. When I looked up, I saw Xander staring at me through the locks of his dark hair that had fallen over his eyes.

“Ah! There you are!” he exclaimed. “You shitty liar!”

I sucked in a sharp breath, and I focused my eyes on him. “What lie did I tell you, Xander?” I asked, wondering if there was a room to wiggle my wrists free from the rope.
