Haunting Adeline Book 2 Summary Novels & Stories

It wasn’t confirmed yet, but in our world, it wasn’t impossible either, especially when that man made a deal with the devil or was the devil himself. We ended the day. Hendrix and Hunt went back to their work while we drove back to the pack house after we made sure that Milka was fully recovered. She was supposed to go home, but she insisted on coming with me. I thought it was because she wanted me to come to her when I was pulled into Kaiser’s world, but I was wrong. “I saw you, Adeline,” she said after I closed the door when we entered my room. “What?” I asked, “I saw you standing next to the man who was found dead at your border.”

Madden followed her behind till she stepped out. He stayed by the door, arms crossed as he watched her go down the mountain. Immediately she went out of sight, he scoffed dryly. "I fucking recognize anything with a pussy when I see one." he muttered slowly, smiling devilishly as he returned to the manor. -- "What the hell!!" Adeline shouted when she got to the forest separating the manor from the clan. The body fell from her shoulder. "I can't believe this! Is he doing this on purpose? Carry a body and give it to the dogs to eat? Damn it! Is he human?" She muttered.

The more she walked, the less she saw anyone, until she was completely alone. As she turned the corner, she saw Tina standing there. A gun in her hand. “Good girl,” Tina grinned. “I like people who obey instructions. Turn off your phone and hand it over.” Adele obeyed. “Where is Jay?” “Let's go see him. How is Dan? Hope all this hasn’t upset him?” Adele ignored her. They walked until they came to a rundown house. “It used to be a beach house for a elderly couple who have both died.” Tina explained, pushing her in.

Dad added, "She's right. Don't hold back. Tell us what you want. You don't need to save money for us. Adeline sends us money every month, so we're doing fine." Clara snuggled closer to my mother and smiled. "You two are the best! I love you so much!" She glanced at her phone and frowned. "But we'll have to wait a while. The food I ordered still isn't here. It's already late!" Just as she dialed the delivery number, my phone rang. They all turned toward the sound, and our eyes met. I stood frozen in shock. Clara suddenly hid behind my mother, her voice shaking. "Adeline, why are you hiding in the alley? Are you following me? Please don't hurt me again. I'm scared!"

Ximena/Angela’s POV Aunt Sadie remained silent until Penelope had finished with Raven and put her to sleep. “I don’t know why, but I feel the need to help Hudson get out of there. Something tells me that if he doesn’t get out soon, something terrible might happen. Remember how Mila ended up,” Aunt Sadie explained after Penelope left. “Do you think Adeline’s ghost is involved?” I asked awkwardly. “I don’t believe in ghosts or resurrection. Adeline is gone, but her conspirators are still alive,” she said firmly, as if she knew exactly who was behind everything.

Chapter 59 Adelie froze on the spot and her eyes slowly widened in shock. "What is going on?" "Are they not siblings? What in the world is going on?" "Don't tell me they've been... Oh, no..." Adelie felt her heart stop beating for a while as those whispers tore through her ear, and when he finally pulled away from her, she staggered back, her face looked pale and shocked like someone that'd just seen a ghost. Maybe it would've felt better if she had seen a ghost, who knows?

she says, voice low and dangerous, “and I will turn your bones to ash before you can scream.” One hunter lunges anyway, raising his axe. Adeline moves faster than I’ve ever seen her move. She slams her palm against his chest. A burst of silver-blue light explodes from her hand and the hunter flies backward as if struck by a battering ram. He crashes through the broken door, landing in a heap outside with a crack. The others freeze. Adeline smiles, but there is no warmth in it.Vines of light crawl up her neck and across her cheek like living tattoos.

The lie tasted bitter because the truth was I hadn’t stopped immediately. I had searched for months or maybe a year. But Adeline has disappeared. No address, no workplace and no phone number. It was as if she had vanished from existence. Eventually, I gave up. Life moved on or at least I convinced myself it had. “You’re thinking again,” Mira said. “I have work.” I replied “You always have work.” “And you always talk too much.” I said and she laughed. “Fine. Call me later.” I grabbed my car keys and headed for Hartley Corporation. The drive took twenty minutes, but my mind was elsewhere.

Logan says and we grin back before he heads for the stairs. "Are you not going to bed with Karina? She is in a guest room upstairs," Adeline asks, and we shake our head. "It's been a while since I got to see you. How have you been," we ask, and she actually blushes. "Much better. I didn't know life could be so peaceful," she answers, and we smile. "Good. Are you leaving the pack house at all," we ask and she nods. "Chloe and I take walks. It's nice. No one has even looked at me wrong. I still get scared and my nightmares are still pretty rough, but you know," Adeline replies with a small shrug and we nod.

“Approximately twenty minutes, sir. He paid for two drinks and desserts. He approached her while she was alone.” My fingers curled tightly around the pen. In this life, too, he had reached for her first when opportunity appeared. “Did anything escalate?” I inquired. “No. Miss Lucy left on her own. Sir Hawthorne followed her outside briefly, then stopped.” That detail sat heavily in my chest. Adrian Hawthorne did not stop unless he was planning something. Because he never acted without purpose. I leaned back in my chair, staring up at the ceiling of my study. Seven years ago, this was how it began.
