Haunting Of Adeline Series Novels & Stories

she hinted. My eyes widened when I saw a thick fog coming out of Adeline's hand and beginning to envelop me completely. “What is this? What are you doing?” I shouted at her. But it was too late: the fog had entered my nostrils and, in a matter of seconds, all I remember is passing out. *** Bradley “I'm sorry, my master, I had no choice, the girl was hysterical,” I heard Adeline say with her face in her hands. In fact, I couldn't even scream. After all, the whole mansion heard the screams of my mate, who was clearly in a state of panic.

I only knew it, the same as I'd known with the dying wolf in the woods. "Let me try," I heard myself say. The old Healer coughed from the floor, clutching his ribs. "Try? Girl, I have forty years in the craft and I couldn't hold him. You'll be dead before you reach the middle of the room." But Adeline was in the doorway now, both hands pressed white against her mouth, and her eyes were only on her son. Whatever else that woman was, the terror on her face was real. "Let her try," she whispered. "Please. Let her."

Her lips trembled, and her eyes widened in absolute terror. “M—Matthew...?” Adeline gasped in utter shock. Her voice was faint and trembling, as if she were staring at the most terrifying ghost of her life. Before Matthew could speak or take another step toward them, Dave and Raven ran up to him and tugged at his trousers. “Mister!” “Mister, you came back?” the two children cheered happily, while tears streamed continuously down Adeline’s face. “Are they mine? Are they my sons, Adeline?!” Matthew demanded, his voice tense.

she whispered, her voice trembling. “It’s okay,” Delilah murmured gently, stroking Adeline’s hair as a mother would. The comforting gesture transported Adeline to a cherished memory of her mother’s golden hair gleaming in the sunlight, her radiant smile as she ran her fingers through Adeline’s hair while they sat on the swing in their backyard in London. Caught between the present and the past, Adeline’s grief blurred the lines. Her heart ached and she whispered softly, “Mom...” Delilah’s heart sank as she watched the young woman’s vulnerability. She didn’t interrupt while allowing Adeline to process her emotions.

I cried but Darren and Celine already had their mind made up as Darren placed the gun on Adeline’s stomach. “M… mommy.” Adeline cried, staring at me and before I could blink, the sound of gunshots filled the air and the smell of gunpowder followed. Watching with my mouth opened and my eyes wide as Darren dropped Adeline’s lifeless body on the cold, hard ground. “Adeline?” I muttered as I crawled to her side but her face was pale, she wasn’t smiling and her eyes were closed. She was bleeding profusely and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t get her to open her eyes. I couldn’t get her to call me ‘mommy’ once again.

“Let’s go Andrews!” Officer Andrews nodded quickly and rushed out of the room, without a second glance at the families. William Wilcox took a couple of deep and anxious breaths before he muttered “I thought ghosts lived in the past!” “Not ours no. They live in our present. But I have to admit, the boys were right about Roger Thomas. He’s not a man to be messed with.” Joe took a deep breath and then held out a shaking arm to his wife. “Will you stay?” Cynthia asked Adelaide softly. “Elizabeth and Saon might pop in and out, but they won’t do anything except care for him.”

Doctor Brad agreed, rising from his seat to gather the necessary tools for the procedure. Adrienne dragged her exhausted body into her house, feeling weak and overwhelmed. All she craved at that moment was the solace of her bed, where she could lay for hours and do absolutely nothing. The hallway seemed never-ending as she trudged through it, her steps heavy and sluggish. As she entered the living room, she noticed the unexpected presence of Daniel, and her mom, accompanied by a mysterious man she had never seen before. Adrienne mustered a faint smile, trying her best to mask her fatigue.

I stayed silent. "The apartment where she had that accident was a company unit assigned to her," Stan said. "It's been empty ever since the accident. Later, the company wanted to take the place back, but the staff they sent over all got badly spooked. Over time, rumors that the place was haunted started to spread." He looked at me, his gaze sharpening. "But that changed when you showed up. When I first saw your rental address, I was shocked. I honestly thought you'd be running out of there in tears within three days. But you didn't.

"We just need to get out of the open. We’ll find a place to hide together. A hollow log, a cave... anything." "Hide?" A sharp voice cut through the dark from just behind us. Even though I couldn’t see her face clearly, I knew it was Mirabel. I would recognize that sneering tone anywhere. "That’s your big plan, Adeline?" She chuckled and stepped closer. "You three really think hiding like scared rabbits is going to save you? If you had a single wolf between the three of you, maybe you’d have a real chance at surviving the night. But no, you’ll probably just trip over each other in the first five minutes and serve yourselves up on a silver platter."

The room felt so cold. Adrain slowly walked towards her, his footsteps echoed through the room. Tap! Tap!! Tap!!! He stopped beside her. Clara quickly closed her eyes. She remembered what the ghost had told her, Don’t look into his eyes. No matter what happens… Don’t do it. “Clara,” Adrain called her softly. She refused to answer. “Look at me!” She shook her head. “No,” Clara refused. His voice remained calm. “I said…. Look at me.”
