Aryans' mom thought about what her husband said and replied, "Well, that's interesting. Especially since I've also just discovered something.""What is it?" The mayor asked."The person in that cage, I don't think it is Adele.""What do you mean?""Her eyes," she replied, "those are not Adele's eyes.""Really? Are you sure you're not mistaken?""Well, I could be wrong, but then I've seen Adele's eyes. I told you once that I could see the innocence in her eyes.""And what do you see in the eyes of the girl in the cage?" The mayor asked."All I can see are fear, guilt, and regret. She doesn't seem innocent to me.""This is quite mindboggling. So you're saying this might not be Adele?""No, she might not be the one.""So, if it's not Adele, who is it?" He asked."I have my suspicions but I think only Aryan will be able to confirm them." The sheriff said. "On second thoughts though,we can send for Selene. If she comes in front of me, then I will know that she's not the one in the cage."
Selene's father waited outside the door. At first, he could not understand what was taking Aryan so long. In his opinion, all that Aryan had to do was go in, make a scene, prove that Adele was innocent, and his daughter would be released and sent back to him. But then, nothing happened. He tried to eavesdrop on their conversation, but he couldn't really hear much. It was as though he had been blocked. He held the handle of the door and pushed it a little open when he realized it was not locked. He was finally able to hear the conversation they were having.From where he stood, he could see only the sheriff's face, but she seemed relaxed. It didn't seem like Aryan wanted to fight or take Selene away from there. "Please, Aryan, save my daughter." He begged inwardly.Back in the house where Adele was, she was extremely worried. She kept moving up and down the house, as her heart kept racing. "What do you think you're doing?" Mrs. Harold asked. "I cannot help it," Adele replied. "I a
As they all heard Selene's father's voice, Aryan, his father, and his mother turned to see that Selene's father had entered their house without their consent. He was on his knees and when his eyes met Aryans', Aryan smiled. He knew that Selene's father had overheard their conversation, which was exactly what he wanted. The moment Selene's father went on his knees and said, "I have a problem with her being given a public execution," Aryan pointed his finger at him and said he needs the same punishment because they all worked together. "Really?" the mayor asked. "Yes, Dad, do you think she did everything on her own? Selene worked with him, so they are both accomplices. I can remember several times that he helped her out. He came in and obstructed my efforts to find out the truth, and I blamed Adele for it when the real culprit was right in front of me." "No," he said, refusing to agree with Aryan. "It is true that everything was plotted by me, but Selene is innocent. Whatever she d
Aryan left and went to pick up Adele and Mrs. Harold, just as they had agreed. When he arrived at the mountain and saw Adele, he was so happy and hugged her lovingly. "You will finally get justice," he said to her. Mrs. Harold got into her car, while Adele got into Aryan's car with him, and they drove back home.On their way to Aryans' house, Adele decided to ask him the question that was plaguing her mind. Although Mrs. Harold had assured her, she believed it was better to hear from the horse's mouth.After hesitating for a while, she began, "Aryan, about Selene....I know of your love for her so....will you be able to bear seeing her punished?"Aryan smiled and shook his head, "you're asking me a funny question. All this time and you still haven't figured out my feelings? I don't love Selene. I never understand why I didn't feel attached to her as I did to you but now that I think about it, it's such a good thing.I am very happy and relieved that you are the only one my heart beat
The mayor and everyone else listened as Selene's father continued, "I was the one who did everything possible to make sure that Audrey survived. I easily figured out that she was a purebred while my brother was oblivious to it. If I did not act when I did, she would have died. Eventually, when I asked why she needed water, she said she had accidentally tasted poison and only water could save her, but there was no water around where she found herself. That's why she began to run towards a water source. However, with the poison in her body, she became too weak and unable to move fast until she bumped into us. It was painful to watch how Rain took her from me. He suddenly confessed his feelings to her, and she accepted him. But what about me? I was the first one to love her. If it weren't for what I did, she would not have gotten another chance. But what happened? She chose him over me. I was the stronger one, the best for her. But even after I confessed my feelings, it did not mean a
The Mayor and everyone else came out to where the party was being held.Selene was still in the cage with the Mask on, and when those in the audience saw Adele, they focused their attention on her and began to murmur once again."Listen, everyone," the Mayor said. "I've called you all here for two reasons. One is to celebrate with me because today we are finally going to punish the culprit who has in one way or another, made life difficult for many of us here. Secondly, my son is going to reveal who he has finally chosen to be his Luna, and everyone here will get the opportunity to get the justice they deserve. I'm going to give way for the sheriff to speak now. She has something important to say.After speaking, the mayor went to sit down, and Aryan's mother got up and said, "You are all aware that for a long time now, everyone has hated Adele, Aryan's mate. She has been accused of committing so many crimes. Although no one has ever caught her red-handed, there has always been one
TWENTY YEARS LATERREINAI stood before my dad who sat beside my mom. "I am ready to go, Dad," I said."Must she do this?" my mom asked. "It's unnecessary and risky."My dad ignored her, and so did I. She was too softhearted for our liking."Listen," my dad said, "you are beautiful, capable, and the strongest werewolf in this pack. You're the only one fit enough to carry out my revenge. I have told you the story of how I was humiliated and how I was almost killed by Zara. Always remember this. Do not forget your mission."I nodded. "Of course, Dad. I can never forget.""What is your mission?" he asked.I smiled, "My mission is to go to the Neutral Pack, earn the trust of Zara and Anders, make their children my friends, and destroy the pack, burning it to the ground."My father got up and patted me on the back, "You have my blessings, and I'm sure that you will be successful. "I bid farewell to my dad and mom and left the Black Arrow Pack as I began my journey to the Neutral Pack. I k
REINAThe warrior who had come out to help me took me into the Neutral Pack. He led me into a room and placed me on the floor.After applying the antidote to my injury, I felt a little bit better, but I was still in pain. As he set me down, I surveyed the room and realized it was a place for the injured. It was the pack's clinic.He stood up with his arms folded, staring at me as I lay on the ground. I looked up and met his gaze. "Why was he looking at me? Could it be that he had fallen for me?" I didn't know who he was, but I had a feeling he was Zara's son. If that were the case, it was important that he developed feelings for me. It would make my mission very easy.After staring at me for a while, he sat on a chair across from me and asked, "What exactly happened to you, Rey?"I let tears roll down my cheeks. I had planned to appear pathetic and miserable when I eventually arrived at the Neutral Pack. My dad had told me they were emotional fools. Despite Zara's strength, if I acte
