Borrow Haunting Adeline Novels & Stories

The car drove steadily on, and they finally reached the city's outskirts as per the location that Adeline had given them. When the car stopped, Grace saw several huge letters some distance away, and a bold theory began to form in her mind. "Ms. Wentworth, is this a cemetery?" Grace asked uncertainly. But this time, Adeline didn't try to hide anything. She murmured in assent, "The answer you want is here." Then, she got out of the car first. Grace and Xander followed closely, and the three of them climbed down some stairs. They kept going until they reached a point halfway down the hill, where Adeline stopped.

Adeline’s POV The sun started setting by the time I reached home, I pull up to my driveway and turn off the ignition. I let out a sigh feeling anxious. I know once I step foot in the house mum and dad would begin the whole conversation of the whole marriage ideal. I mentally pull up my big girl socks and hop off the car and wiggle my hips in an attempt to brush off the slight pain from the fall because of a certain Mr arrogant and handsome who has a beautiful body but a questionable attitude. Anyways I shut the car door and walk towards the main entrance.

The sun was beginning to set as Harper waved goodbye to Adeline, who stood at the entrance of the boutique, grinning like the cat that ate the canary. “Take care of her, Eros,” Adeline called out, her voice teasing. “She’s a treasure. And don’t forget, Harper, if he annoys you too much, call me. I’ll deal with him.” Harper laughed, adjusting the numerous shopping bags dangling from her arms. “Thanks, Adeline. I might just take you up on that.”

"If anything, it makes things simpler." "Simpler how?" "Now you don't have any reason to stay married to me." Adeline's face crumpled. "You're a monster." She pushed past me and went to get dressed. A few minutes later, she came back downstairs and left with the police officers. After they were gone, I went back upstairs to Rebecca. She was sitting up in bed, looking worried. "I heard voices," she said. "What happened?" "Adeline's mother is dead," I said.

"She is gone. They took her." I stood up from my chair so fast that the heavy wooden seat fell backward onto the stone floor with a loud crash. The entire hall went completely silent. The music stopped playing, and every lord turned to look at the royal table. "Who is gone?" I demanded. "Adeline," Malcolm whispered, looking up at me with terror in his eyes. "Alpha Hilton and his trackers left the castle gates ten minutes ago through the side exits. They found out she was trying to escape, and they are hunting her down right now. They took their hunting hounds and their weapons."

The moon hung low and full, casting pale light that flickered through the canopy, painting the forest floor with ghostly patterns. The Ashfang Pack territory was unfamiliar, a tangled web of old magic and older grudges. The curse that bound our families whispered through the trees, carried on the wind like a warning I couldn’t ignore. I could feel it clawing at my blood, reminding me that this was no ordinary hunt. Elena Blackthorne—my second chance mate—was more than a name now. She was the key, the hope, and the danger all wrapped into one.

Clenching her teeth, she suddenly dropped to her knees. "Dad… What happened before was my fault. Please let me make it right. I'll do anything. I'll make sure you get better." He let out a mocking laugh. "What good is an apology that comes too late? "I'll never stand again. Yvonne will never come back, and Winfrey… She was only six years old." His voice cracked. "We don't even have her body to bury. She was eaten by wild dogs. Nothing left. Not even ashes."

Dinner continues, but something quiet has taken a seat between us. A knock breaks the silence. Adeline glances toward the door before standing. When she opens it, a middle aged woman smiles from the hallway, red hair pulled over one shoulder, makeup beginning to fade after what looks like a long day. A little boy peeks around her legs. He can't be older than five. He studies me without blinking. "Adeline," the woman says. "I just needed to borrow. Do you have any butter? Tomas is demanding cookies tonight and I’m totally wiped.”

As she inhaled the sweet scent of innocence, the growl faded and then the power subsided. “Sleep,” Adeline said, approaching Electra and her eyes that had been glowing gold, returned to black. Carefully she reached for the necklace and pulled the crystal out of Electra’s shirt. It was now clear with a few veins of white running through it. “Sleep a little while longer.” Electra raised her hand to the back of her head. “What…” Smiling, Adeline closed her hand over the amulet. When she released it, the pewter wolf was still curled up, but the head was raised as if sniffing the air. “What happened? Your wolf is trying to wake up. It will happen soon.”
