When Adele fell down, her dad quickly came out of the room. Selene took out Adele's phone from her pocket and said, "Take it, Dad." He went through her gallery and deleted the evidence she took of Selene's closet and the message they had sent to her with Aryan's phone. After that, he put the phone back in her pocket and said, "Come, Selene. You need to take her away." "Alright, where do I take her to?" Selene asked. "I'll tell you about it," he replied. He carried Adele straight to Selene's car and put her in the back seat before saying, "Drive her to the woods and dump her there." "But she's going to wake up anytime soon." "Yes, but it doesn't matter. Just do what I said." "Listen, Dad," Selene stopped her father. "Adele isn't wearing the clothes she wore when she left the house." Her father looked at Adele, "Oh no, this is going to be a big problem because you do not have these clothes." "I don't think anyone will even notice," Selene said. "No, she has to change up." Her d
Selene drove her car towards a quiet spot. After checking around to ensure that there was no one, she took Adele out of the car, brought her into the woods, and left her by a tree. After that, she got back into her car and drove away. Her dad had told her not to come back home until after Aryan had been taken away, so she went back to school to pretend that she had something keeping her busy. Meanwhile, the mayor arrived with some of his betas at Adele's house. Adele's father led him to the bedroom, and he was shocked when he saw the state Aryan was in. "Did you say Adele did this?" he asked. Her father sighed, "I don't know. I went out briefly to get something. Adele was the one he came to see and she asked him to be in her bedroom. I went out when he came because I got a call from my place of work. I saw Adele coming in and that was when I left. However, I forgot something and decided to come back. When I came back, I was surprised to realize that Adele was not at home. At first
Aryan's father got up and said, "I have decided a punishment for her. Adele tried to kill you and by doing so, she tried to end my lineage and kill the next alpha of Newfalls; the only lycan other than your mom and me.This crime can never be forgiven. She will be given the ultimate punishment, which is execution." Aryan shook his head weakly, "No, Dad, I'm sure there is an explanation. I mean...""There will be no more excuses," Aryan's father replied. "I have given her enough chances. I have spared her so many times because she's your mate. But this time, she made an attempt on your life. If nothing is done to her, what do you think she will do next? Should we wait until she actually kills someone else or even you? I'm sure you only let your guard down because you were around her. No werewolf in this pack can measure up to your strength, but you were stabbed just like a chicken. Why? Because you were trusting the wrong person. I will not let that happen anymore. Now you're goin
Diana sat by her mom's bedside, holding her hand. They had to cut short their trip because her mom felt sick earlier in the day. After Mrs. Harold dropped Adele off at her house, she was about to take her back home when she received a call from her dad. He told her that they had just returned home because her mom fell sick. She was surprised and quickly rushed back home, to find her mom down with a fever. The doctor came to check on her and prescribed some medication. While they were still there, her dad received a call from the mayor, who asked him to report to his house because it was very important. Her dad left, and she remained at home with her mom. But now that it was getting dark, she wondered why her dad was taking so long since he wasn't on duty for the week and she wanted to find out from Adele how it went with Aryan.She had tried to call her but Adele was not taking her calls so she wanted to go to her place and see her. She couldn't leave her mom alone in her conditio
Aryan quickly rushed to the café where Adele worked, and there he saw Mrs. Harold sitting dejectedly on a chair. She stared at him when he walked in without saying a word. Diana walked in and saw him. She said, "Good evening, Mrs. Harold. With the look on your face, I can tell that you've also heard that Adele is dead." Mrs. Harold shook her head, "Life is really unfair. How can the innocent get punished for the crimes they did not commit? "Please show me the evidence," Aryan requested. Diana gave him Adele's diary, and he began to read about her life in her father's house and the things Selene did to her. He was shocked that Adele went through such things. "This... Did Selene really do all this to Adele?" he asked. Diana said, "I witnessed most of it myself, many times. Selene treats Adele like a slave, and even her father hates her with a passion. Adele always felt that she wasn't their real child, that she was adopted because of how they hated her. He never bought any clothe
Aryan stared at Mrs. Harold in surprise, "You knew Adele's mom?" "Yes," Mrs. Harold replied. "My husband and I were here, and I was the one who helped Adele's mom deliver her. She died right after birthing her." Aryan could not understand what was going on, "Am I imagining all this?" Mrs. Harold shook her head, "No, you're not."But Adele told me that her mom fell ill and died a few months after giving birth to her." "Of course, Adele told you what she was told." "So, does it mean both Adele and Selene were born in this cave?" "No, they were not." "If they were not both born in this cave, how come they are twins?" "You will find out everything soon enough." Mrs. Harold responded. "Please, tell me if you know," Aryan pleaded. "Everything is so confusing, and I can't understand what you're saying. Kindly explain it to me." "As I said earlier, be patient, and you'll find out the truth for yourself," Mrs. Harold advised. "Adele was a special child, and she was born differently
Adele stared at Aryan in surprise, "I still don't understand what you mean by what you said earlier. Can you speak more clearly?" "Just hang on, I'll tell you everything in detail," he replied.They finally arrived at one of his father's houses, and Aryan led Adele into the house, shut the doors, and covered the blinds. Adele was staring at him in surprise. The things that happened minutes earlier were still fresh in her memory but she found it difficult to believe that they really happened. She could not believe that Aryan had gone against his father and everyone else just to save her. Aryan had just believed her words and trusted her, which was something she did not expect. For a moment there, she had thought she was going to die because Aryan's father seemed determined to kill her. It was a very scary ordeal for her.After looking around the house, Aryan came back to the living room. He noticed that she was lost in thought and held her hand as he led her to the couch. When sh
Aryan and Adele came out of the bedroom and tiptoed to the living room. After thinking of what to do, Aryan said, "Listen, we need to get out of here." "But how are we going to do it?" Adele asked.While they were still figuring out what to do, an officer outside said in a loud voice, "You have been surrounded, come out right now." Aryan heard the officer's voice and laughed. "These are obviously officers, and I understand why they were sent by my dad. But it's okay; this is what we are going to do. I will distract them.""Distract them how?" Adele asked. "No, I don't want you to be in danger." Aryan replied, "Listen to me. They will not kill me no matter what, but I cannot say the same for you. I have looked around, and I've noticed that they are positioned at the front and the back of the house. But by the side of the house, the room where we just came out of, there's no one there. So what I'll do is break the window in the bedroom and jump out. The moment I do that, I'll attra
