  "Wh—what do you mean? Listen to me Theodore, you cannot believe anything Aurora told you. She hates me, and would see me dead." 

  "But you are a vampire, are you not?" 

  

 "I'm a dhampir. That means until I awaken my vampire powers, I will remain as such. Technically I didn't lie, I am human."

 "Enough!" He bellowed. "It doesn't matter. You are wanted by the vampire conclave. Keeping you here, while they are searching for you, could mean war." 

  "What about the dream, why we saw each other? The theory of maybe you were….. maybe I was destined to be your Luna?" 

 "Are you this delusional?! You are no destined Luna of mine Adira, and you never will be! Shira will forever me mine, not your lying a*s."

  

 "What about the kiss last night?"

 "Kiss? Did you think that meant anything? I only did it, out of pity. To give you something to hope for, so you would live. But it seems that I am already reaping the seeds of my stupid decision!" 

  

 "Stupid decision!" She held her tears back, trying to be strong, despite how hurting his words were. "A case of pity? Are these what I truly am to you?" 

  "That is what you truly are to everyone here!" 

  The sentence broke Adira's heart, the tears she had been holding back, came dripping down her cheeks like the never ending waters of a river.

 "I never wanted this!" She sobbed, pointing her index finger at him. "I never wanted to come back to your pack. So if you want me to leave, fine! Just get someone to show me the f**king way out of the goddamn forest!"

  

  "Fine…." He sighed coldly. "Liam is right outside the door, he'll take you back to the closest highway. You can find your way from there to whatever life you want." 

 "Good!" She wiped her tears with her hands and walked straight out the door without looking back. 

 Like he had said, Liam was standing right outside the door, judging by her experiences with vampiric senses, she knew with his werewolf senses he had heard all their conversation. 

 "So, can we go?" She asked. "Sure…" Liam glanced at Theodore, through the opened door. He looked sad, staring at the window trying to avoid looking at Adira. 

 It was like a part of him had walked out the door with Adira. Was the fight all acting? Did he really care for Adira? Liam wondered.

 But all this didn't matter now, Theodore had to see it through. He had to show strength, so his pack would be safe. A war with the conclave over Adira, would be the last thing the pack wants. 

  Liam's gaze returned back to Adira. "Yes, we can go!" Together they walked out of the castle, through the huge gates of the wall into the forest. 

 As they walked through the forest, Liam couldn't keep his eyes off Adira. He kept staring at her, and everytime she turned to him he would look away. 

  "Okay, come on, say what you wanna say!" She walked in front of Liam, with her hands folded on her chest. 

  "What?" He was dumbfounded.

 "You have been staring at me since we left the pack, so if you want to say or ask me something, just go ahead and ask it?!"

 It turned out, not only Theodore had realized what a beauty Adira was, Liam had too, and Adira had no clue. "Ohh.. yeah…" He stuttered. "If you are a vampire like Aurora said, how come you don't heal like one or smell like one?" 

 "I am not one!" She sighed and turned around, backing him. "I am a dhampir, that means, I have a vampire father with a human mother. I am born human, in order to awaken my vampiric powers, I'd have to drink human blood. It's one of the many reasons I ran away from my conclave, because I didn't want to become a blood sucking monster!" 

 Adira's face darkened, heavy tears filled up her eyes, that she held back from falling down. "I know you probably won't believe me. But I am sorry for lying, I never ever tried to spy on your pack for the vampires, nor am I still in bed with them!" 

 "It's okay…. I believe you, Adira" He took a few steps closer, now standing right behind her. "Wait, you do?" She turned around in excitement, unaware that he was that close and ended up bumping into his chest. 

 Now clustered into each other, her eyes moved up his face, and was left locked at his hazel colored eyes. She had barely noticed them since, his brown colored hair or his broad shoulders, not quite as large as Theodore's, but still well built muscles. He even had thick brown colored eyebrows, and cute dimples that appeared anything he smiled or laughed.

 "The high—The highway." He stuttered, took a step back, gesturing to the woods behind her. "It's just a few minutes walk, heading in that direction."

  "Wait, aren't you going to take me there?" 

  Liam knew better, he didn't know why he felt an attraction towards her. But he knew Theodore had a thing for her, so he was certainly not going to stick around any further, just to stop his feelings from causing any havoc.

 "No, I need to get back to the pack. They may need me. It's been hours since we left. You can make it to the highway from here, it's just a few minutes ahead."

  "Okay, I guess this is goodbye, Liam."

 "Yeah, this is goodbye." He started taking slow steps back. "I do hope you find the happy life you deserve, and just so you know, you are no pity case."

   "Thank you, Liam."

  "Goodbye Adira!" He turned around, shifted into a brown werewolf and ran into the woods.

 "Goodbye…" She sighed, turned around and continued down the path Liam had told her to follow. As she walked through the woods, the sun was slowly setting behind, creating a beautiful twilight. 

  Soon enough she started to see the highway just past the few trees in front of her, a smile quickly sprouting from her face. The hope of a life free from all these troubles was but a few steps ahead.

 "Adira…. Where are you…?" The scary voice of Aurora echoed through the woods, sending shivers down her spine. She quickly hid back on the closest tree to her.

  All that hope suddenly changed to fear. How did she find her, how was she going to escape? So many thoughts ran through her head. Just when all hope seemed to be lost, she saw a car driving so fast towards the part of the highway in front of her.

 She quickly ran towards the highway, hoping to run in front of the car. But before she could even reach the highway, Aurora dashed with her superspeed over to Adira. She was so quick that Adira ended up running into her and falling back to the ground. 

 "How pathetic!" Aurora chuckled, her fangs well visible in her mouth as she stood over Adira with her eyes glowing red. "Did you really think you could escape the conclave? There is no happily ever after for you Adira, only pain and suffering."

    The first rays of sunlight peeked over the horizon, and slowly, but surely, the sky began to glow with an ethereal golden light. "Ahhh… Close the windows." Adira groaned, only to open her eyes to see herself completely naked, laying on top a completely naked Liam. "Ahhh!!!" She yelled in shock, abruptly moved back, to see her pants and bra behind her. "Oh my god." Her voice wavering as she picked them up. Liam was still soundly sleeping, like she had not just screamed. "Liam!" She aggressively kicked him with her leg, and he immediately jerked up to sit on the floor as well. His vision was still a little bit blurry, but as soon as they cleared up, his eyes were left fixed on Adira's boobs. "What are you staring at, turn around!" She yelled, and kicked him again. "Oh.. sorry…" Liam turned around, there he found his trousers, Adira's dress and his boxers. "Did we–" "I don't know!" Adira abruptly cut him short, wore her pants and bra, then stood up to look around, only to see t

  • Destined To Be His Luna    WELCOME TO THE PACK

    A devilish smile settled on Shira's face, satisfied with the deafening silence that was coming from Adira, thinking that she had succeeded in upsetting her. "A second choice and something used to make you jealous, you say…." Adira started chuckling condescendingly without looking back at Shira. This sent Shira down a spiral of confusion, she thought she had won, so why was Adira laughing. "What's so funny?" She sneered, glaring at Adira. "I get the fact that you being a second choice, a whore and an object used to make me jealous is really hilarious, but why are you laughing?" "Because…" Adira paused and slowly turned around to stare at her directly in the face. "If a second choice can get the dress of the Alpha's mother, and could put the entire hall to silence when she walked in, are you sure she isn't the first choice?" Shira gasped, her chest pumping as her face turned red. She took a few steps back, people seated around who had heard their conversation were staring at her,

  • Destined To Be His Luna    THE BALL

    “What are you doing here?” Adira finally mustered enough courage to ask Theodore who was just staring at her without saying anything. "Well, I came to check up on you, after the whole Adolphus issue." He paused, his hands were behind him like he was hiding something he didn't want Adira to see. "You kind of disappeared." Adira remained quiet, and let out a silent sigh of relief. It seemed he had not heard about her fight with Laura, her mind started to drift into more relief and she totally forgot what Theodore had just said. “Adira!” He voiced out, suddenly pulling her back to reality. “Did you hear me? I said you kind of disappeared earlier on while crying, are you okay now?” “Yeah, sorry, my mind was a little bit carried away. I'm fine now. " "Are you sure? Adira, I came back here to this cabin to search for you, and you were nowhere to be found. You made me super worried." "Well, I did tell you not to follow me, because I needed to be alone at that time and I meant it.”

  • Destined To Be His Luna    FIGHTS AND LOVE

    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

    "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

    "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.
