Ch-29He was thankful for Maximus's presence in her life. A smile formed on his face as he looked at them with contentment.He was at least happy that she got a good spouse.His sister deserved happiness. While he forgot that he was tormenting someone else's sister with grief and pain. He forgot that there was karma that always proves what goes around comes around.Adira, who sat beside him, felt jealous of her sister-in-law.Why Life was so different for each of them?Weren't they married to different races?She is happy… unlike her.Adira doesn't know whether she has to be happy that she got to marry her mate or cry because her mate was nothing but a dick.This little act of Lenora left a bitter feeling in Adira's chest. It doesn't mean she hates her or wants to ruin her sister-in-law's relationship with her brother or ruin her life. Everyone deserves happiness but… she felt like laughing at her own pathetic situation. She couldn't help but compare herself to her. Lenora was happy m
All of the closest people from the werewolves appeared in Adira's wing when they heard she fainted. Even all the Vampire elders along with the main family appeared to visit her.Seeing everyone in the wing, worried about Adira made him feel uncomfortable. Zaros was now in a fix on how to explain things to them about her sickness. Things were getting harder as days passed. And this woman was putting him into more and more trouble wanted! She was so silly and dumb. She can't even understand or do a single thing properly. She does everything like a dumb person.Back in the vampire kingdom, he has a fiancee, she was so thoughtful, elegant, beautiful, and smart, unlike this dumb woman. The more he looked at her the angrier he got. He wished to slap some sense in her. Was she trying to paint him like a monster by fainting?And now… she fainted. Can't she eat properly? If she had her food on time this wouldn't have happened! Now he has to be answerable to everyone.She needs a good lesson af
Zaros whipped him to their side in a swoosh! What does she mean? Was she saying she would treat the same way the way he treated Adira? How could that be possible?His sister was different and his wife was different! She was after all a werewolf. But he couldn't say that. Holding his displeasure, he clenched his fist as he forced back his anger down his throat."What do you mean, Lady Serene?" Zaros asked. Even though he tried to sound calm one could still sense the displeasure in his tone."Son, what are you saying? You are saying as if I am going to torture her. You are taking the best care of my daughter. I will do the same! Or are you saying you are the reason for my daughter's condition? Hmm?" Serene as if she was shocked. The words she uttered came out of her throat icily. Even though a smile was playing on her lips, one could sense the anger and venom behind the words she uttered. Zaros wanted to argue but he doesn't know what to say."I am not saying that, Mother. I am worried
Tears threatened to fall from her eyes. She wanted to say something but felt like something got stuck in her throat. She watched his expressionless face looking back at her.Those were the same eyes that looked back at her with love and respect this very morning.Those were the very eyes that assured her of trust and loyalty.But now all she could see was an empty gaze.Looks like she won't even have a happy marriage from now on. And the whole reason for it was… her brother. He ruined her life once in the past and again now he was ruining her life. She looked at him with hurt and hate-filled eyes. She said nothing.But Zaros could see the complaints, anger, betrayal, and other things in her eyes. Closing his eyes, he pinched the space between his brows. He didn't know how to make this situation better. But the expression on his sister's face tells him, he broke her trust to an irreparable point."Lady Valorine! You will no longer live in my chambers. You will be allotted your personal
Zaros walked out of the chambers leaving the brother and sister alone.Maximus's heart wrenched at the sight of his sister. She repeatedly said she doesn't want to marry this guy. Yet he made her marry the one.Didn't she say he was her mate?Then why does he treat her like this?Was the bond even real?Many thoughts swirled in his mind as he looked at his sister.Taking her hand into his hands, he held it tightly. His sister, his angel, and his cute bundle were now lying unconsciously.A word from her now, he would wreak havoc. He wouldn't care a single thing about pact or anything. All he cared about was her well-being now."Angel, just wake up and tell a single word that you are not happy, I will turn everything upside down for you. It won't affect the pact or the deal between the two races. Just wake up," he said with tears in his eyes.This was the first time, he saw her sister like this.Partly he was to blame too. If not for him, she would not even agree to this. As he looked a
"Brother, why do you think she wants to meet us?" Adira asked as she stood infront of the gate of the Witch's tower."I don't know. But I guess it's not anything bad. Her suggestions for me from last time are doing good for me," Maximus added.Adira nodded her head at him. As long as her brother was with her, she can say that she was safe. She has to be worried if it was her husband. Hmm… husband… just the word itself was making her feel bitter.Like last time, a crow appeared in front of them."Princess and King, follow me," the woman called Sansa from last time said.They both followed her. Unlike last time, this time they went to the third floor. The third floor was filled with a huge bed as it faced the roof of the beautiful night sky. The glittering stars that are decorated in the thick bluish-black blanket-like sky made them feel relaxed. Adira liked the way it was instantly. A smile formed on her face the very next second."Come here," Elphaba said as she gestured for them to g
"You are here?" Maximus asked with a glee in his eyes."Brother, shall we leave?" Adira asked."Yes," he said and nodded at her."What did she say?" Maximus asked as they walked."Nothing. She gave me something that can protect me," Adira replied."What is it?" he asked."Nah… it would be a waste if I show it to you," Adira said."Okay, keep it safe with you," Maximus said with a smile."Brother, I want to know about something," Adira started as she stepped out of the witch's tower."Is it important?" he asked."Kind off," she said."We will talk in your study," Maximus said stepping inside the carriage.She nodded. He helped her climb after he stepped in. Adira settled down after she was done settling and smoothing her dress.The ride to the palace was silent.—-On the other hand…Lenora was getting restless as seconds passed. Maximus still haven't come to speak with her. It was past lunch and even dinner time was going to pass now.Was he really not going to care about her?She doe
She needs to know what happened between them. Maybe knowing this thing would help her more. Adira needs every card that was available. If not, she would have to suffer for longer. She wasn't willing to suffer more.Zaros was literally a monster that she wants to stay away from. When he was sweet, she felt like she was the best and luckiest woman in the world. But now… she couldn't feel that anyway. Adira felt she was the biggest idiot in the world.As she immersed herself in her thoughts the door for her brother's study was opened with a bang revealing Lenora. She was panting hard as if she ran a marathon. She was unkempt, her eyes were red like she cried unlike a normal look of hers. Her clothes weren't neat. It's as if she was devastated about something.And Lenora didn't even care about etiquette. If Eudora was here, she would have dragged Lenora by holding her by her ear to the etiquette classes again. The horror of learning etiquette would have to be experienced all over again. W
