เข้าสู่ระบบChapter 169.Tori's POV "My mother is mad at me?" A cold shudder went down my spine. My mother was dead for almost thirty years. I knew that it was very rare, but she died even before I was born. How could she be mad at a child that she had never met? Madame Rosi laughed, her shoulders shook as she did. I could see it through her eyes that she knew my thoughts. "Do not worry, child, that's why I am here, to make things clear to you." She placed her hands on the flat surface of the table. "Your mother was mad at you because of what happened to her." Her answer left my heart more troubled, and I was just more confused. "But why is she mad at me? I didn't do anything to her. In fact, I am the biggest victim in this entire thing." I complained very loudly. "You're right, you are, but you don't understand why she is mad at you. Remember, she gave up her power to make sure that your father's pack felt safe with her around. Yet, they treated her badly and the Luna even killed her. Sh
Chapter 168. Adrian's POV Luckily for us, there were freshly washed bedspreads in the cupboard– they still smelled of flower-scented soap. I asked Tori to stand by while I placed the cover over the bed. Laying the bed was something that I had never done in my life, but how hard was it? I was struggling at first and Tori took a step forward to help. "No, baby, I've got this." I forced at smile. I was like an idiot, but after about fifteen minutes, it was done. We both got into the bed and the first thing I noticed was how small it was. Even Kylian wouldn't be subjected to such a bed..."Thank you." She said, for the umpteenth time. "Tori, I already said you don't have to say all of that." I told her gently. "I love you, and I will do anything for you." "Well, we are spending the night in the house of a witch." She chuckled painfully. "One day, I will pray you back for all you have done for me." Her hand went to my chest, and I kissed it before pressing it to the side of my fac
Chapter 167. Tori's POV Hearing her painful words aimed at me caused me to stop just a few inches from the door. I didn't want to offend her by walking in. What if I stained the entire place with my bad aura? Adrian stood next to me, his hand over my shoulder. "Our names are Adrian and Tori. We have come a very long way to see you." He said. "Why has made you bring a lady with such darkness with you? From the way you look at her, I can't tell that she is your lover." Madame Rosi tilted her head to the side, as if to be able to steal a better look at me. "If you can't help us, then we better be going.x Adrian sighed. I wanted to tell him how sorry I was for being too much of a bother to him. We turned around, but Madame Rosi told us to wait. She left the counter and walked towards the door. She observed me some more, as if I was some kind of interesting specie, then she took a bunch of dried leaves dried to a bunch and set one end of it on fire with a lighter. The white smok
Chapter 166. Tori's POV My left hand rubbed over my right arm as I looked around with tension knotting my eyebrows. The serenity of the evening couldn't be overemphasized, and everyone was having such a romantic evening. I was here with Monica, by friend and soon-to-be sister-in-law, but I was more occupied with the fact that I could kill everyone right now... "Hey, sweetheart," Monica snaps her finger in front of my face. "We are talking about your wedding here, come on." Yes, I had told her about Adrian's proposal, and to my surprise, she didn't have any objections to it. This was such an irony because months ago, she was trying to kill me just so that I would stay away from her brother. Now, she didn't even mind, and for some reason, it bothered me. My finger gently touched the stem of my glass, but I didn't reach to drink from it. "Why aren't you stopping Adrian from getting married to me?" I heaved. "I beg your pardon?" She laughed incredulously. "B
Chapter 165. Adrian's POV The syringe was still in her neck when the chemicals kicked in and she fell limply on me. I was in that position for almost a minute, as I stared at her face. This was the most broken that I had ever seen her, and I hated it. Oman and the rest of the servants came closer now that she was unconscious. Oman took out a handkerchief and wipes the blood from his nostrils. They were talking loudly as I gathered around their deceased colleague. I was so ridden with guilt that I couldn't even get closer to them. "Dispose the body into the city's mortuary." I instructed. I needed a glass of two to get my head together. I would have to call his family and tell them what had happened. "He's alive!" I twisted my neck back to stare at them. What the hell were they talking about?! "He is alive, sir, somehow." Oman declared with a huge smile on his face. "His limbs are broken, but he still has a pulse." I set Tori gently on the ground a
Chapter 164. Tori's POV There wasn't a single drop of blood in my hands, I didn't even need to raise my hand, but I ended up killing someone. This wasn't my first time of taking a life, but this was different. My former victims were rogues, terrible people that would have killed more people if I hadn't taken care of them, but THIS was different. This was an innocent servant. I killed one of Adrian's servants, even though I knew how much he protected and was kind to them. It all started while I was having one of my deep and endless sleep. I heard Kylian crying, and my heart jumped because he never cried. His voice in distress gave strength to my limbs, and I immediately looked out of the window. One of the servants, Joey, was pulling something from Kylian's hands, and Kylian wasn't ready to let go. "You must let go immediately, Kylian. You are definitely not taking those flowers into the house for Miss Tori!" "But Tori is sad and I need to make her feel
