ADRIEN.
"There has not been any changes in the last three months," I answered. "As the community ordered, She has not used her powers more. For the wolf, there are still no signs of life, but she says she is fine. She clings to the idea that she is hidden inside her."
"You said this had already happened before."
"Yes, when Estelle arrived in the pack, there was no trace of her wolf."
I cling to that possibility, although my hopes begin to be exhausted.
"What about Gabriel?" Estelle's grandfather asked.
"There are no signs that dark magic is present in his body. It seems that he was not affected."
"His mate must also have helped him."
"Yes, she's a very powerful
I had to run.I wasn't so sure about why I was running off anymore. I had a gut feeling that I should never quit. It didn't matter how exhausted I was to the point that my feet bled. Or how hungry I was which made my stomach howl as if it were home to an evil beast.The only rule was that I should not stop, and if I did, it should be for a limited time as possible. Only when it was dark, and I was somewhere safe, such as the top of a tree or a cave, was I allowed to stop running. I was only doing it because running across the forest after the sunset was impossible. I could also plug in a town and try to stock up on food, but that didn't always work out because I didn't have ample money to buy it so I ended up stealing most of the time.I had to hold
"Enough!" I yelled angrily.The kids around me paused for a few seconds before running around again. In this place, I was as powerful as a flea. Actually, they ignored me much more than fleas could.Bradley, the pack's beta, had requested my assistance because his sister was in labor. Along with his mate, he was in charge of the pack's nursery.Yes, I am a member of a werewolf pack, though I am not one of them.Packs worked in unusual ways. We had an alpha who served as our leader and wielded the greatest amount of power. Then the beta stood beside
The Institute.That place that is full of teenagers and raging hormones was anyone's nightmare. Some could pretend to love this place while others instead openly demonstrated how much they hated it. Adrien was one of those guys. Always complaining and always grumpy. The Institute was dangerous and teeming with predators. Much more because this said Institute was full of supernatural beings who barely managed to live together.Humans were a minority in this place, but other humans felt too special to notice the anomalies. They did not realize that sometimes we shared classes with werewolves. A being so terrifying that they could kill an average human in just seconds. Oh, but arrogance can do more. None of them paid enough attention to anyone other than themselves, so even if the werewolves sometimes showed that wild behavior that characterize
I couldn't open my eyes. Not with the severe headache that troubled me. I tried opening my eyes a few times so I knew I was in my room in the mansion's attic. I had the blankets covering me up to the jaw, and yet I was still shivering from the cold. I could hear the fireplace burning. The fire crackling and the smell of burning wood were unmistakable.When I managed to feel a little better, I looked at everything around me. The room was dark and only the fire lit dimly. I was surprised to notice that Adrien was sitting on the small sofa in my room, totally asleep.I tried to get up, but the pain in my body was much more substantial. I felt burning, my temperature was high, my throat was dry, and my ankle throbbed.I had gotten sick from the rain, it was apparen
Classes passed slowly. Studying was not a problem for me. I loved spending my afternoons studying. My grades were the best in the whole institute and that made me proud. I always sought Alpha's approval and knew that my grades and demeanor were impeccable.Mathematics was my favorite subject but at the time, I was in no mood for numbers. My body still felt a little heavy from the disease and my head was throbbing. I wanted to go home, kidnap Adrien, and hog him for a bit.Maybe watch a couple of movies lying on the couch. Yes, that would suit me perfectly."Have you seen the new physics teacher?" Ainsley whispered from the position she was, right in front of me. "They say he is a beauty."I had heard some whispers about it, but it was a bit off, so I didn't pay much attention to them. However, if she had already managed to get the attention of Ainsley, who usually ignored any kind
"Ha!" I exclaimed, victorious. "I have won against you again.""It's not fair, Elle," Adrien grumbled, pouting and flinging the console control to the other end of the couch. "I'm sure you cheated.""Cheated?" I asked with mock anger. "I don't believe that it's my fault you suck at this game.""That character cheats! You always beat me when you wear it.""It's girl power, honey," I summed up, tousling his hair.We had been on the couch for hours. We went from watching a couple of movies, a romantic one for me and a horror one for him, to playing video games. After spending a lot of time playing with Adrien, I had become quite the expert at fighting games.Which embarrassed him, of course. I would never beat him in a melee fight. I was a weak human, and he was not a typical werewolf. He was the future Alpha, the strongest of all
Adrien.Where the hell had she been? I was going to kill her as soon as I found her.I was well aware that it was a lie on my part, I would never lay a finger on Estelle but I couldn't help feeling annoyed and frustrated as the days went by and not finding traces of Elle.Sure, it had been my mistake to teach her to leave and erase her trace. When we were sixteen, I thought it would be very clever of me to teach her how to hide from werewolves. By that time, I was thinking that Cody was freaking out day after day and that he might become obsessed with Estelle. The frustration of not being able to communicate with his wolf began to pay off with the friend he grew up with.So I showed her, very carefully, how to leave without leaving a trace. I also knew that she had money at her disposal as if unconsciously she was always ready to flee. I knew that her childhood was spent
Wake up.Who's speaking?Wake up, Estelle!There was nothing I could do but obey that insistent voice in my head. I opened my eyes suddenly, feeling a headache that left me disoriented for a few moments. I closed them again because of the light, hissing under my breath. Why did my whole body ache?Someone was hugging me. Who was it? Why was he hugging me so tightly and desperately? He was crying? Why would anyone cry so hard over me?Something was happening.Get up, girl.I heard that voice again, although I had no idea where it was coming from. I blinked a few times, before taking in what was happening."Adrien? What's the matter?" I asked with concern.How did I know it was him? Easy enough. I can recognize his presence anywhere and anytime. It was inevitable for me to recognize hi
