Adrien lunged forward with a fierce determination, his hands swiftly closing around the stranger's collars with a vice-like grip. His actions exuded an air of violence, a storm of aggression brewing within him.Through clenched teeth, he demanded answers, his voice laced with a potent mixture of fury and possessiveness. The hallway became a battleground of words and tension as Adrien confronted the man who dared to stand beside Lisa.Fear clenched tightly around Lisa's heart, her eyes wide with trepidation as she witnessed the unfolding chaos. Frantically, she stepped forward, her voice quivering with a desperate plea for Adrien to stop before matters escalated further.Her attempts to intervene were born out of concern, a deep-rooted desire to protect both the stranger and Adrien from the imminent consequences of their clash.But Adrien remained undeterred by Lisa's pleas. He seemed consumed by a raging storm within, his fists connecting with the man's body in a flurry of blows.The
Adrien, his voice resonating with authority, insisted that the man should have the opportunity to speak for himself. The tension in the room intensified as all eyes turned to the man, waiting for his response. A heavy silence hung in the air, pregnant with anticipation and uncertainty.The man, his expression a mix of nervousness and apprehension, stood frozen, unsure of how to navigate the precarious situation he found himself in.The weight of judgment bore down on him, threatening to drown out his voice. But before he could gather his thoughts and summon the courage to defend himself, Lisa, her face etched with determination, intervened.With swift and deliberate steps, Lisa moved toward the man, her eyes blazing with a fire fueled by a potent mix of anger and protectiveness.Her grip on his arm was firm, as though she was asserting her position as his staunch advocate, leading him away from the prying eyes and hostile atmosphere.Their departure from the center of attention was a
With a conflicted heart, Lisa took Adrien's silence as the signal she needed to extricate herself from the suffocating room.In an attempt to preserve her pride, she hurriedly left, her footsteps echoing with a pretense of indifference, while her soul yearned for resolution, for Adrien to chase after her and unravel the mysteries of his tumultuous behavior.Meanwhile, as she attended to the injured werewolf, Lisa meticulously cleaned the wound with a delicate touch, her movements infused with a mix of care and regret.Her apologies spilled from her lips in a gentle cadence, each word imbued with a genuine desire for reconciliation. "I'm sorry this happened," she murmured softly, her voice carrying the weight of her own internal turmoil.Yet, even as she focused on the task at hand, her thoughts gravitated persistently towards Adrien. His enigmatic behavior played on a loop in her mind, intertwining with the sincerity of his earlier declarations. She found herself oscillating between h
That night, as Lisa settled into bed, a heavy cloud of hurt enveloped her. The weight of the day's events lingered in her heart, casting a somber shadow over her emotions. Each thought and memory echoed with the ache of betrayal, leaving her feeling vulnerable and wounded.“Never in my life have I ever thought I’d be a victim of such ruthlessness. But what have I done to deserve any of this? I’m killed emotionally. I hate all of them!” She exclaimed.In the stillness of the room, a subtle shift in the atmosphere caught Lisa's attention. A gentle ripple of awareness danced along the edges of her senses, tugging at her subconscious.At first, she dismissed it, hoping to find solace in the quiet solitude of her own thoughts. But as minutes ticked by, the presence grew more palpable, refusing to be ignored.“It better not be something so trivial and minute cause I sure am going to kill it with all the anger in my body. Please leave in peace and just leave me alone.” She pleaded silently i
Lisa's heart fluttered with a mix of relief and longing as she suddenly caught sight of Adrien, leaning against the sturdy trunk of a tree.“Thank God he hasn’t gone too far.” She thought.Her pace slowed, and a wave of emotions surged within her. With every step closer, her anticipation intensified, mingling with a deep-seated desire to bridge the distance between them.As she ceased her wild run, her body shifted, returning to its human form. Her wolf spirit retreated, allowing her to approach Adrien with a steady gait, each movement deliberate and purposeful. The ground beneath her feet felt solid and real, grounding her in the present moment.With trepidation and determination entwined, Lisa approached Adrien, the words she had yearned to speak bubbling forth.“Adrien, it’s good to see you this morning again. I went to your chamber and couldn’t find you so I had to come after you and here you are.” She said, laughing slightly.“It’s about Hera. She’s causing a whole lot of trouble
Adrien walked into the house, and immediately, Hera rushed up to him, tears streaming down her cheeks. Her voice trembled as she claimed that Lisa had attacked her for no reason at all."She... she started hitting me just because I asked her to do something," Hera sobbed, exaggerating the situation to gain sympathy.“Huh?” Adrien asked in confusion, he wasn’t aware this whole time she was even around as he was already drowning deep in his own thoughts.Lisa attempted to explain herself, to share her side of the story, but Adrien cut her off, unwilling to listen.“But Adrien you can’t just listen to one side of the story, I’m just trying to tell you that that never happened, she’s just…” Lisa tried explaining further when she saw Adrien’s deadly stare piercing through her whole existence. She didn’t like it at all, she could literally just disappear.“I’ve warned you to stop causing trouble for Hera, Lisa. How dare you beat her?” He asked.He was still trying to scold her when Hera not
Grateful for the maid's honesty, Lisa thanked her and couldn't help but feel relieved that someone in the house cared enough to share such crucial information with her.She had turned and she had continued to clean with a firm resolve and determination when she suddenly turned around to meet the maid who was already walking away.“Pardon me mam, but if I may ask…?” She asked the maid, leaving space for some suspense.“Yes… go on.” Said the maid."Why did you tell me instead of supporting Hera?" Lisa inquired gently, curious about the maid's intentions.The maid sighed, looking hesitant but resolute."Hera has always been unkind to me and many of the other maids. She enjoys being mean and making us feel small. On the other hand, you've treated us with respect and kindness. I couldn't stand by and let her hurt you like this when you've done nothing but good for all of us."Lisa's heart swelled with a mix of emotions. She was glad to know that her genuine care for others hadn't gone unno
Adrien broke the silence, his voice tinged with concern, "Why are you so quiet, Lisa? I thought you wanted to see me for something?"“Oh, me? Oh, yes. Sorry I was just…” Lisa was about to say when Adrien just suddenly cut in!“It’s alright you can just come in already.” He voiced.She moved closer to him and looked up at him, meeting his troubled gaze. "I noticed your mood, and I didn't want to add to it, so I just thought it was best to respect your space," she replied gently.“Oh well… okay. I really appreciate that.” He appreciated her.His mind started to compare the two women in his life—Hera and Lisa. Hera, with her anger and manipulation, and Lisa, with her kindness and empathy. Conflicting emotions warred within him, torn between the comfort he found in Lisa's presence and the loyalty he felt towards Hera.“I wish I met you first, Lisa. I really wish. My loyalty to Hera won’t make me give you my full support in every aspect and I think that’s sad… so tragic. You really deserve
