Chapter 08 : MORGANE AND HER STEPMOTHER

✓ IN THE WEREWOLF JUNGLE.

~SEVERAL WEEKS AFTER~

[ ANTOINE ]

I haven't seen the sun for several days. I suffered my punishment without complaining because I was convinced of what I wanted and I just had to wait to get it. Unfortunately, my patience was beginning to have limits because I could no longer endure what my father was doing to me. However, through this ordeal, I finally realized that I shouldn't trust the werewolves around me. I sometimes act without thinking, but I'm not stupid and I didn't give up my idea of ​​fighting in order to earn my father's respect. The only problem is that I didn't know if the League of Werewolves had been informed of my act. If so, I would risk being severely punished. Anyway, I was ready to accept my fate. So, I was thinking about the action plan I would choose to oppose my father when suddenly Phillipe visited me. It was not a courtesy visit. He had come to inform me that the League of Werewolves recently learned that I had broken the law and that they decided to convict me. 

-- I knew this was going to happen . And who informed them? Inès or my father? (I asked quietly)

-- I was surprised to learn it Antoine. And sincerely, I don't know who informed the League (replied Philippe)

-- I'm sure it's another action of my father. Apparently he wants to end with me. And when my trial will take place?

-- Tomorrow evening before the beginning of the full moon. (replied Philip)

-- And what does Ines think of that?

-- I do not know. I haven't spoken to her since she betrayed you. I didn't appreciate this behavior at all.

-- My little sister is very clever. Don't worry, I'll be fine and thank you so much for your support bro.

-- Alright Antoine.

After speaking briefly with me, Philippe left and I started meditating. The next day arrived, as well as the night of my trial. I had been sitting in a chair for more than two hours and there were people in front of me. Many people were present at this trial. According to the information I received from Philippe, the League of Werewolves wanted to punish me severely so that I would be an example for others who would venture to break the law. Inès was also in the crowd facing me and during this time I was waiting for those who were going to judge me. After a while, my father appears. He was signaling Inès to come home, but my little sister refused to leave until she was present at this trial. She wanted to see with her own eyes what the League of Werewolves had in store for me. This whole situation saddened me. I couldn't understand how things could have gotten like this. Several hours of waiting later, one of the juries arrives and he announces that my trial will no longer take place this evening and that it has been postponed for certain security measures. The truth is that the League of Werewolves feared that a bad decision made on their part could cause riots. In the end, everyone went home and I was taken to a cell. My ordeal had just begun. 

[ CASSANDRA ]

Our life improved overnight and that made me very happy. Nevertheless, I was trying to be perfect even though I knew I was no longer an ordinary human and on the other hand, my parents were trying hard enough to make me feel good. We were now a happy family. My goal was to ensure that this happiness was not fleeting.

[ MORGANE ]

After weeks of pure pleasure, we arrived safely in France. It was enough to see my face to know that I was not happy to return so early. Nevertheless, Angel reassured me that he was going to take me wherever I wanted and that I had to stop being upset.

However, Angel hadn't built his own house yet and so we decided to live with his parents. As soon as we arrived in Montpellier, the driver from Angel's family arrived to welcome us at the airport. He took our suitcases and put them in the car. A few hours of travel later, we are at home. ANGEL was holding my hand and we were heading towards our room when we suddenly met my stepmother. She approached her son:

-- Welcome, Angel. I missed you so much (while hugging him)

-- Thanks a lot mom. I also missed you (adding a slight smile)

-- I'm glad to hear it, son. So how was your stay in Madrid?

-- Everything went well mum. I thank God.

This is how my stepmother spoke to her son and I finally decided to greet her because apparently I was non-existent in her eyes. She was only focused on Angel.

-- Good evening mom (with a smile of course)

-- Did you see me now? (Replied my stepmother forcing her eyebrows)

I wanted to answer her when she interrupted me.

-- Shut up bitch. From what I see, you have bad habits (She added)

Angel who was there didn't like the turn the situation was taking and he reacted.

-- Mom stop please. She didn't do anything to you. Please leave her alone. Besides, we've just come back from a long trip, so please don't welcome her that way.

-- I'm sorry my son. Then go take a your bath and I'll make you some hot tea. (replied my stepmother)

-- Thanks Mom.( Said Angel)

Then my husband and me went to our room. With what had just happened, I immediately understood why Angel was trying to give me advice the last time and on top of that I discovered that my stepmother didn't love me. Anyway, I love my husband and I intended to live with him even if it meant confronting his mother. Once inside the room I was about to lie down when ANGEL hurriedly lifted me up. I get angry and then I said :

-- Asshole , drop me off right now.

He smiles then lays me down on the bed and adds:

-- I'm sorry Morgane

- Are you sorry why?

-- Because of my mother's behavior. I know she is sometimes unbearable but I apologize for her.

-- Forget it my love. I love you, you love me and that's what's important.

-- Thank you very much Morgane. You're very nice.

-- Thank you, my love.

Finally, he gives me a kiss. I smiled at him even though deep down I was worried. But I had the certainty that everything will be fine for us even if his mother hated me.
