My hands trembled as I threw him my gaze with a horrified look. I was taken aback. Mad. Confused. Frustrated. I didn’t like how he was ordering me around after he told me he didn’t want to have anything to do with me the day we both found out we were fated. He was continuously treating me like shit, doubting me like I was some criminal who would swoon over him, and now he was going to fuck me up for a reason even the Moon Goddess wouldn’t be able to comprehend? I harshly wiped my lips. My shoulders were going up and down repeatedly. My heart was beating fast. But not because of the kiss. I was enraged. His remark. His eyes. His unfathomable stunt. I couldn’t get him at all. If he hated me so much, why did he keep on involving himself to me? I have drew the line. I was finally learning how to take a step. At long last, after the pack treated me like an outcast, I was finally living life. “Do you hate me so much you have to ruin me at every chance you get?” My throat burned with vexat
The day was long enough for me and Conrad. After we played in his house, we went out to eat in a restaurant. It was lunch then, and we still had plenty of time left, so we just stroll and walked. Angelo’s pack territory was still foreign to me, so I couldn’t really completely feel at ease. But I guess what was pushing me to be courageous enough to allow myself wander in a place I knew I wasn’t supposed to be in was Conrad. I only knew Angelo and Conrad in this place. Yet even when I was surrounded with wolves whom I wasn’t associated with, in any way, I feel protected. Bothered, yes, but it was tolerable. I didn’t feel danger enough to ask him to just stay in the house. I guessed it was the bond. Conrad and I walked for hours. We went to several shops. Conrad kind of gave me a tour, fearlessly. I was thinking he was either brave because he was a Lycan, or because he knew a lot of influencial wolves here. Angelo for example. It was silly and fun. Conrad brought me a lot of things,
I mentally panicked. But being surrounded by wolves who had just started to appreciate my existence, I couldn’t publicly say it. Not even to Jade and Gunner, who continued to ran ahead, unaware. I tried to continue. I pretended, and made it seem like I was slowing down intentionally. I did’t say a thing, and withstood the pain that was starting to take a toll on me. My bones felt deeply injured. My head was hurting, like a migraine. I was confused, and scared. I wanted to ask Alice, but I couldn’t feel her presence. Just then, I started to feel small in size. As my pace went even slower that I was already on the last line, my body felt like it was going to transformed back to its human form. I couldn’t help it. I made a light sound, and stopped abruptly. The others on the last glanced back at me, but it was as if they didn’t care enough to stop too. At that moment, I could only feel relief that they didn’t make a big deal out of it. I knew my body was going to betray me, and it he
I better not believe it. Up until now, Adler’s character still confused me. Since I was young, all he ever did was bully me. Though it stopped recently, I wouldn’t say he become good. Because he didn’t. If ever, his just character became more incomprehensible and petty to me. Just the other day we argued about meeting Conrad. He blackmailed me. He wanted me to stop seeing him, and I still couldn’t understand why. On top of that… he fucking kissed me. “Let’s pretend it never happened,” I said coldly, before I picked up the fork. “Didn’t I just tell you not to talk about it? I wouldn’t—” “I’m talking about the kiss.” I sliced the bacon, stuff it inside my mouth. I took a spoonful of fried rice right after. I looked up to him to see his reaction. But his face were unreadable. He was lightly looking down with his lips pursed. I couldn’t see his eyes because it was focused down on his plate. I could only tell he was taken aback by it. He was silent. “Do you not really remember anyth
My brows met as I took a step forward. I opened the window, put my head out, and looked at him more intently. He repeated what he said with a hand gesture telling me to get down. I didn’t know what his appearance was for, and what he wanted to talk about but considering he took the effort to come here and bother me by throwing rocks at my window, he probably wouldn’t stop unless I really go down. So I did. I sneaked out. Jade and Gunner was probably at the other room since I could still smell them, so I was careful not to make any noise. I wasn’t sure if they sensed me leaving, though. I went out the house and approached Adler, who was then wearing a hoodie and a pants. A pair of shoes, and a gold watch and necklace. He looked like someone who was all ready for a late night out. “What are you doing here?” I asked with furrowed brows. “Alice hasn’t come back, right?” He casually asked. “Come with me.” “Where?” “I know someone who could help you, Avalynn.” He pulled up his hood to
My breathing hitched. It was one thing. The moment I read my mother’s journal, I asked myself the same thing. How was my mother able to tell I was wolfless? During that time, she still wasn’t supposed to know. It had to be that she was aware. There was no other way to explain it, otherwise. “Do not corner her, Amelia.” Adler’s voice was serious. “We only wish to know why she have two mates, and why her wolf disappeared yesterday night.” “This is all connected to its root, Adler. Which is why I wanted to know about her father. Because if my theory is correct, Avalynn is a hybrid. And the reason why she have two mates is because of her identity. While her wolf was tied to you, her other half was tied in another. The Lycan. It would’ve been a diffent case if her second mate is also a wolf. That said, I feel positive that she truly is a hybrid.” I shut my eyes tight for a second. Though I did not want to acknowledged it, her explanation was clear and concrete. It had me re-think. What
“What debt?” I asked. “For the years you’ve spent bullying me?” He cocked his head but didn’t answer. Almost as if he was holding back himself. I looked at him for a couple of more seconds, before I looked away and sighed. I was frustrated right now. If I’d continue to sit here with him as I deal with all these emotions, I would’ve projected it all to him. Specially when we’re not in good terms. I would definitely end up releasing it all by pointing my finger at him. I stood up from my seat. With a worn-out look, I took a glimpse of him. “I’m leaving.” He bowed down his head. “Amelia told me something before she left.” “If it’s about me being a hybrid, save it, Adler—” “She suggested that we should spend more time together to bring back Alice. She said it was the fastest way” I breathed in, slowly. My eyes went somewhere else as I tried to understand what he just said. My left hand went to my left shoulder. I caressed it in disbelief, as I stood beside him with a cold heart. “A
I was wrong to ask him that. I knew it the moment I saw his eyes turned dark. A certain emotion crossed in it, and I felt afraid to comprehend it, so I looked away. His tone sounded a little playful. So was the small curve in his lips. I bit my tongue. “When are we going to see her next?” I haven’t laid all my questions yesterday night because I was flustered. I was shocked, and caught off guard that I wasn’t able to ask her everything. But now that I’ve learned how to be open with it, I kind of what to hear more from her. Though, it will still definitely came down to who my father truly was, another moment of talk would help me see the bigger picture. “Amelia isn’t just an ordinary wolf, Avalynn. I only managed to track her down through my father. There wouldn’t be another anytime soon. So, I suggest that while we wait, you should confirm your father’s identity first.” Adler sounded smart saying that. He didn’t sound like the Adler I knew then. He didn’t sound like the jerk Adler
