Lydia was still standing at Adolphus's cabin front porch, forced to watch in amazement as Adira tore through Adolphus's chest. "So she's a werewolf now?" She voiced out in surprise. "She has always been a werewolf, she just didn't believe me when I told her. But it seems the wolf in her, answered to her rage." Laura, who was still sitting next to Theodore, trying to help him, replied. "So what do we do? Take out the remaining five men?" Lydia gestured to the remaining five men that were watching Adira in horror, too scared to even more. "Of course not! You need to stop Adira now!" "Stop her? Adolphus is the villain here!" Lydia protested. "So why in the hell should I stop Adira from killing the monster that locked you up, and did this to Theodore." She gestured to Theodore. "Because Lydia, if she kills him. It'll be harder to clear her name. We need him alive to be able to answer for his crimes, if we are to ever clear Adira's name from what Adolphus has made her look like to t
Adira gasped and opened her blue eyes to a blue ceiling above her, she quickly sat up on the medium sized bed which she had been laying on. She was in a white nightgown, and she had no idea how she got into it, or how she got there. This further left her freaked out as she looked around the room. At the first few glances, she could barely see anything. The room was too dark, its curtains were drawn, blocking out any light from the sun. But after some seconds, her eyes adapted to the condition of the room. Courtesy of her new found werewolf abilities. She could now clearly see the room, which was painted in blue, decorated like a typical boy's room. On the walls were different photos of a young boy, no older than twenty. He was a very handsome black boy with caramel skin color, blue eyes and curly dark hair, bearing an unmistakable resemblance to Laura. "Who are you?" She muttered underneath her breath, squinting her eyes as she stared at one of the boy's the photos. Suddenly,
"There is something you need to know…" Laura continued. "Adolphus's motive wasn't just so you could leave to protect the pack, he had over motives, or at least, so he says." "What other motive could there be?" "We don't know, he said he will only talk to you."KNOCK! KNOCK!! KNOCK!!! Someone suddenly knocked on the cabin's front door, pulling both their attention. "I'll get it!" Lydia echoed from the other room, and went to open the front door. "Mom, it's for you?" She voiced out a few seconds later. "Just get dressed, I left some clothes for you in the drawers." Laura said to Adira before she dashed out of the room to go see who was at the front door. Adira turned around and slowly walked back to the drawer which was beside the bed, brought out a black skinny jeans and a red female sleeve shirt which were carefully folded there and quickly put them on. Then looking like a model, she strolled out to the living room, only to see Shira talking with Laura at the front door. Her
"Well that was intense!" Lydia suddenly voiced out, drawing Laura's and Adira's attention to her. She had been standing behind them in the hallway, watching as the conversation with Laura got tense. "So much drama over one guy." She added. "Well he is the Alpha." Laura cut in, a smirk playing at the corner of her mouth. "He's every young girl's dream in the pack." "Well he isn't mine, plus it still doesn't change the fact that he's still just a guy mom and frankly speaking, he is not worth all the trouble." She proceeded to walk past them, over to the front door. "Lydia, wait!" Adira exclaimed, bringing Lydia to a halt before she opened the door. "I remember I hurt you last night when I shifted, I didn't have time to ask you this before, but are you okay?" "Hurt me!" Lydia scoffs, and turns around with a big smile plastered on her face, trying to hide how weak she felt. "You merely just tossed me, because you were stronger. You didn't hurt me sweet heart." "O…Kay. I just wante
Theodore took another step backward, ulterly humiliated as he gulped down hard. "For the record, I have never made a choice, Adira. You just assumed I did." He said in a low tone. "Not choosing is a choice too!" She exclaimed in a loud voice. "You damn well knew that. So stop toying with my feelings when you know, we are never going to happen." "Fine…" He took a deep breath and exhaled hard, letting out all his anger in a loud tone. "You're right. I'm sorry for trying to kiss you Adira, after you gave me the go ahead by looking back into my eyes. I will NEVER ever try to kiss you again!" "Seriously! Giving you the go ahead?" She held her head up straight, gesturing with both hands. "You literally came at me for a kiss, then what? Later in front of Shira you'll treat me like I don't exist? Wait… do you actually expect me to apologize for slapping you?" "Adira, just drop it…" "Just drop it Theodore? You literally just tried to kiss me and tried to use emotional blackmail on me
"Yes Adira, that's exactly what I am saying!" "Seriously?" Adira scoffs, and a grin settles at the corner of her lips. "You really think I'd believe that? Like seriously that's the best you could come up with?" "Adira, it's not a matter of believing. It's a matter of being truthful, whether you believe it or not. It is the truth." "Fine…." She folded her hand on her chest. "Let's say I believe what you're saying, which I don't, why would you still go through all this trouble just to get me away from the pack and kill me, knowing I'm basically family?" "Don't you dare say that, you are no family of mine, but an abomination to my lineage. And the cause of my innocent daughter's death!" The grin on her face quickly became engulfed with a serious look as she took an abrupt step backwards, memories of all the times they told her she was the cause of her mother's death back at the conclave, flashed through her head. "What did you just say?" She added, staring vigorously at Adolphus.
"Adira, are you okay?" Persistent, Liam stretched his hand towards her chin to lift her face up, despite her obvious behavior of wanting to back away. "Stop!" Adira aggressively held his hand and pushed it away, then in an aggressive tone she continued. "I just need to be alone right now!" "Classic Adira!" He scoffs, his shoulders slumped, as he takes a step back. "F*ck me for always trying to help when you seem hurt. I am the backlash guy right? You know what? I'm done being that!" He walked past her, continuing on his journey into the castle. She stared at him as he walked away, once again, she was getting filled up with guilt. After all, Liam had only ever tried to help. "Wait!" She finally voiced, bringing Liam to a halt. "I'm really sorry for the way I've been treating you…" She paused, tears still streaming down her cheeks, while hugging herself as if she was cold. After a short pause, she continued with her voice wavering. "It's that I've been through so much sh*t just thi
Shira swiftly walked down the staircase, through the various hallways of the castle, over to the throne room. Then she came to a stand still at the throneroom's doorway entrance. A devious smile settled on her face as she stared at Theodore who was standing at the balcony of the throne room, peacefully watching the setting sun unaware of Shira lurking by the doorway. The feeling of relief overwhelmed her, she felt it was finally victory for her over Theodore. Because she was certain once she told Theodore about the hidden relationship of Adira and Liam, it would destroy any feelings Theodore may harbor for Adira. All that would be left, would be to suggest transferring the bond from Adira to herself. She couldn't contain her joy. "Theodore, we need to talk." She finally walked into the throne room, straight to the balcony, to stand behind Theodore who didn't even turn back to her. This irritated her. "Theodore!" She took a short step forward. "Did you hear what I just said?" H
