Her Two Proud Wolves Chapter 52
Adelia's Point of ViewNessa sat at the breakfast table when I walked in. Her hand was clamped around a cup of steaming coffee. Eyes seemed to stare into the distance at nothing.But she noted my presence instantly. Inhaled sharply when I pulled out the chair beside her. Yet her eyes never left that vacant spot."I thought you had run back to him yesterday," She murmured, a shell of her former lively self. I knew exactly the he she was referring to. Knew that some part of her had most likely hoped I would. Hoped I would come back to get her as well. But she wouldn't make it out alive if Phaedra got her hands on her now. She would rip the girl to shreds for not keeping me contained.Guilt clanged around inside my chest. Hollow. That's how I felt, especially now that I knew where I stood with Michael more than ever. And Siya, the man who had honestly tried, was betrayed by the woman he thought was growing closer to him."Were you sad when they found me in another pack only a few hours

Adelia's Point of ViewHalf an hour later we were walking into the meeting with our heads held high. Or as high as they could go with the two of us giggling all the way in.Everyone looked at us as we came inside. But their eyes instantly flashed towards where Nessa was. Narrowed in on the girl with razor-sharp precision.Ciaran, as always, took the head of the table in the boardroom. Dwarfed Alvara on his left, who sat with a scowl deep on her brow. To Ciaran's right sat Ozias, his Beta, and one of Alvara's other mates. No signs of Dargan and Maverick, Ciaran's Omega and Delta, respectively. And Alvara's other two mates. No doubt those two were off doing some or other errand for their Alpha. Ran amuck in the underworld with their dealings. Teagan also sat at the table, Bellamy her mate, and the Alpha of Desert Sun beside her. Along with her other two mates, Ulrich and Harland. Delta and Beta respectively of Desert Sun.It was only the men who scowled when Nessa came in behind me.

Adelia's Point of ViewThey got the uranium...The thought clanged through me. Sat on the tender spot right beneath my heart.Ozias carried on reading the report and beside me, I could feel Nessa stiffen. Saw how her face drained of color. Became ashy and close to death when they mentioned how Phaedra planned to use what she had gotten.One name also did that to me.Felix.He had done it. He had actually gone to Phaedra with the uranium the moment he found out I was there. Offered himself up, along with anything else they might need, in exchange for my safe return.I was touched and horrified at the revelation. Some part of him was still my father. Still cared, even when I no longer did. The report ended with Dargan's name. The culprit behind what we had just learned. That's why he wasn't here. He was somewhere up in Africa gathering information about what we were facing. What my capture made possible for the enemy."This leaves us with only a few options. We can either tell Regina
Her Two Proud Wolves Chapter 55
Adelia's Point of ViewEveryone filed out of the boardroom after the initial shock of the news wore off. Muttered that they would have to go back to Eiecrunt and prepare for the war.Only Nessa was left beside me. Along with a dumbstruck Michael who looked anywhere but at me."The woman that is coming to help Dargan..." He said into thin air. Spoke to no one in particular. "It's my fiancee." He admitted with a long breath.Nessa stiffened beside me. Glanced my way but made no excuse to leave. Stood by me as any Beta would. I leveled a look at Michael, even as my heart plummeted into my shoes. Then beyond. "What does that have to do with me?" I barked with more emotion than I had initially wanted to give.The deeper parts of my soul wanted to scream at him. Ask him how he could be so obtuse. So fucking dense that even a diamond wouldn't cut through. He had lied and it was still eating at me, even now as I stared at him. Although I knew it had little to do with me and everything to do

Adelia's Point of ViewBy the time I was done bathing Nessa had made herself comfortable in her new room. It was a few doors down from mine, in the private wing of the house. As the new Beta, the move was one to show my faith in her. That she was now within my private boundaries and there was no going back on her word.I would have appreciated her going to Killian and explaining what was going on but something else nagged at the back of my mind. Why did she never seek him out? Siya thought it was to keep them both safe but it didn't make sense to me. She would want her other brother around her as well, given that she had no one else. Still, she never did.Was there more to their relationship than she let on? Then why the willingness to go to him on my behalf?At least one thing was handled.I no longer needed Michael. Nessa posed no threat. And I should have known it from the beginning but couldn't bring myself to place my pack in any sort of harm.Now I made the girl-My phone rang
Her Two Proud Wolves Chapter 57
Adelia's Point of View In the morning I was bombarded with messages from Siya. They ranged from him asking that I go back to him and all the way to cursing me for choosing to go home instead of staying with him. A far contrast to his demure tone only last night. And the last message he had sent to me... 'I hope you appreciate the present I am sending you.' Utterly strange. But I brushed it off and carried on with my day. More meetings. Fundraisers. Introducing Nessa to everyone we encountered that we hadn't exchanged words with yesterday. Faces worn with age and laughter and love occupied most of our time. Children flitted between their mother's legs. Fathers tried their best to wrangle the little one away from their tired mates. And by the end of the day, my face was hurting from all of the smiling. No sign of Michael or Ciaran to sour my day. Just a whole lot of laughter and friends. People that admired me for all the work I put into restoring their pack. Several new me

ThAdelia's Point of ViewNeither of us wanted to touch the box. The thought of opening it was even further from an option. We just stared at the damned thing, swaying from foot to foot.Nessa leaned back, subconsciously. But remained standing beside me. Like she wanted to be by my side to protect me if the need arose but she also wanted to be as far away from the box as possible.From the sheen on her face from nervous sweat, I knew this was something Siya had done often in her life."So... Are you going to... Open it?" She asked hesitantly, eyes never leaving the cursed box.Now that it stood in front of the door long enough, I could see the darkness from the bottom seeping onto the tiles. Scarlet. Glaring and bright.I shivered and shook my head. "I don't think I have the stomach to see what I might find," I confessed and gripped my stomach for show.Nessa nodded. Flicked her gaze to me for a second. "Yeah. From the stories I've heard, I wouldn't want to open it either. But if we le
Her Two Proud Wolves Chapter 59
Adelia's Point of ViewI sent Nessa away with Teagan and Alvara the next day. Told her to go shopping for the house she was going to move into by the end of the week. From the scowl on her face, I knew that she would have rather remained with me. To make sure I was fine or to make sure I didn't do anything I would regret later. I didn't know which one it was but her concern was heartwarming.Walking into the office buildings Ciaran and his brood used when they were here, I saw Michael on the opposite end of the reception. Noted the deep lines between his brows. The way he hopped from foot to foot.Until his eyes landed on me and his whole body stilled.Swallowing down my growing emotions, I walked to him. "Good morning. Ready to face a few wolves?" I asked lightly and retained a healthy distance between the two of us. His eyes scanned me from head to toe. Rested on my lips before moving away. "I was wondering the entire night if you really had to do this. I mean, we both know Ciaran
