Meanwhile the pack was in total chaos, Shira had been laying on the floor in her room since the afternoon, passed out, courtesy of trusting the woman from the book. Finally, she gasped, sat up on the floor, breathing heavily, while looking around, till her eyes settled on the book still open on the table. Her eyebrows scrunched together as the memories of what happened came flying back. She took a quick glance outside her window, and saw the sky covered in a blanket of darkness. "Oh my God!" She strained her voice. "I have been passed out throughout the entire day!" Her face became more reddish as it filled with anger. "You stupid book!" She swiftly got up, walked over to the table, closed it, tied it with the belt and tossed it in her closet. "What was I thinking…." She held her head, slowly taking a few long steps back from the closet, while staring at it. "Trusting a mysterious woman from a book made from dark magic, how stupid can I be!" "Wait!" She slowly removed her hands
Lydia was still standing at Adolphus's cabin front porch, forced to watch in amazement as Adira tore through Adolphus's chest. "So she's a werewolf now?" She voiced out in surprise. "She has always been a werewolf, she just didn't believe me when I told her. But it seems the wolf in her, answered to her rage." Laura, who was still sitting next to Theodore, trying to help him, replied. "So what do we do? Take out the remaining five men?" Lydia gestured to the remaining five men that were watching Adira in horror, too scared to even more. "Of course not! You need to stop Adira now!" "Stop her? Adolphus is the villain here!" Lydia protested. "So why in the hell should I stop Adira from killing the monster that locked you up, and did this to Theodore." She gestured to Theodore. "Because Lydia, if she kills him. It'll be harder to clear her name. We need him alive to be able to answer for his crimes, if we are to ever clear Adira's name from what Adolphus has made her look like to t
Adira gasped and opened her blue eyes to a blue ceiling above her, she quickly sat up on the medium sized bed which she had been laying on. She was in a white nightgown, and she had no idea how she got into it, or how she got there. This further left her freaked out as she looked around the room. At the first few glances, she could barely see anything. The room was too dark, its curtains were drawn, blocking out any light from the sun. But after some seconds, her eyes adapted to the condition of the room. Courtesy of her new found werewolf abilities. She could now clearly see the room, which was painted in blue, decorated like a typical boy's room. On the walls were different photos of a young boy, no older than twenty. He was a very handsome black boy with caramel skin color, blue eyes and curly dark hair, bearing an unmistakable resemblance to Laura. "Who are you?" She muttered underneath her breath, squinting her eyes as she stared at one of the boy's the photos. Suddenly,
"There is something you need to know…" Laura continued. "Adolphus's motive wasn't just so you could leave to protect the pack, he had over motives, or at least, so he says." "What other motive could there be?" "We don't know, he said he will only talk to you."KNOCK! KNOCK!! KNOCK!!! Someone suddenly knocked on the cabin's front door, pulling both their attention. "I'll get it!" Lydia echoed from the other room, and went to open the front door. "Mom, it's for you?" She voiced out a few seconds later. "Just get dressed, I left some clothes for you in the drawers." Laura said to Adira before she dashed out of the room to go see who was at the front door. Adira turned around and slowly walked back to the drawer which was beside the bed, brought out a black skinny jeans and a red female sleeve shirt which were carefully folded there and quickly put them on. Then looking like a model, she strolled out to the living room, only to see Shira talking with Laura at the front door. Her
"Well that was intense!" Lydia suddenly voiced out, drawing Laura's and Adira's attention to her. She had been standing behind them in the hallway, watching as the conversation with Laura got tense. "So much drama over one guy." She added. "Well he is the Alpha." Laura cut in, a smirk playing at the corner of her mouth. "He's every young girl's dream in the pack." "Well he isn't mine, plus it still doesn't change the fact that he's still just a guy mom and frankly speaking, he is not worth all the trouble." She proceeded to walk past them, over to the front door. "Lydia, wait!" Adira exclaimed, bringing Lydia to a halt before she opened the door. "I remember I hurt you last night when I shifted, I didn't have time to ask you this before, but are you okay?" "Hurt me!" Lydia scoffs, and turns around with a big smile plastered on her face, trying to hide how weak she felt. "You merely just tossed me, because you were stronger. You didn't hurt me sweet heart." "O…Kay. I just wante
Theodore took another step backward, ulterly humiliated as he gulped down hard. "For the record, I have never made a choice, Adira. You just assumed I did." He said in a low tone. "Not choosing is a choice too!" She exclaimed in a loud voice. "You damn well knew that. So stop toying with my feelings when you know, we are never going to happen." "Fine…" He took a deep breath and exhaled hard, letting out all his anger in a loud tone. "You're right. I'm sorry for trying to kiss you Adira, after you gave me the go ahead by looking back into my eyes. I will NEVER ever try to kiss you again!" "Seriously! Giving you the go ahead?" She held her head up straight, gesturing with both hands. "You literally came at me for a kiss, then what? Later in front of Shira you'll treat me like I don't exist? Wait… do you actually expect me to apologize for slapping you?" "Adira, just drop it…" "Just drop it Theodore? You literally just tried to kiss me and tried to use emotional blackmail on me
"Yes Adira, that's exactly what I am saying!" "Seriously?" Adira scoffs, and a grin settles at the corner of her lips. "You really think I'd believe that? Like seriously that's the best you could come up with?" "Adira, it's not a matter of believing. It's a matter of being truthful, whether you believe it or not. It is the truth." "Fine…." She folded her hand on her chest. "Let's say I believe what you're saying, which I don't, why would you still go through all this trouble just to get me away from the pack and kill me, knowing I'm basically family?" "Don't you dare say that, you are no family of mine, but an abomination to my lineage. And the cause of my innocent daughter's death!" The grin on her face quickly became engulfed with a serious look as she took an abrupt step backwards, memories of all the times they told her she was the cause of her mother's death back at the conclave, flashed through her head. "What did you just say?" She added, staring vigorously at Adolphus.
"Adira, are you okay?" Persistent, Liam stretched his hand towards her chin to lift her face up, despite her obvious behavior of wanting to back away. "Stop!" Adira aggressively held his hand and pushed it away, then in an aggressive tone she continued. "I just need to be alone right now!" "Classic Adira!" He scoffs, his shoulders slumped, as he takes a step back. "F*ck me for always trying to help when you seem hurt. I am the backlash guy right? You know what? I'm done being that!" He walked past her, continuing on his journey into the castle. She stared at him as he walked away, once again, she was getting filled up with guilt. After all, Liam had only ever tried to help. "Wait!" She finally voiced, bringing Liam to a halt. "I'm really sorry for the way I've been treating you…" She paused, tears still streaming down her cheeks, while hugging herself as if she was cold. After a short pause, she continued with her voice wavering. "It's that I've been through so much sh*t just thi
The first rays of sunlight peeked over the horizon, and slowly, but surely, the sky began to glow with an ethereal golden light. "Ahhh… Close the windows." Adira groaned, only to open her eyes to see herself completely naked, laying on top a completely naked Liam. "Ahhh!!!" She yelled in shock, abruptly moved back, to see her pants and bra behind her. "Oh my god." Her voice wavering as she picked them up. Liam was still soundly sleeping, like she had not just screamed. "Liam!" She aggressively kicked him with her leg, and he immediately jerked up to sit on the floor as well. His vision was still a little bit blurry, but as soon as they cleared up, his eyes were left fixed on Adira's boobs. "What are you staring at, turn around!" She yelled, and kicked him again. "Oh.. sorry…" Liam turned around, there he found his trousers, Adira's dress and his boxers. "Did we–" "I don't know!" Adira abruptly cut him short, wore her pants and bra, then stood up to look around, only to see t
A devilish smile settled on Shira's face, satisfied with the deafening silence that was coming from Adira, thinking that she had succeeded in upsetting her. "A second choice and something used to make you jealous, you say…." Adira started chuckling condescendingly without looking back at Shira. This sent Shira down a spiral of confusion, she thought she had won, so why was Adira laughing. "What's so funny?" She sneered, glaring at Adira. "I get the fact that you being a second choice, a whore and an object used to make me jealous is really hilarious, but why are you laughing?" "Because…" Adira paused and slowly turned around to stare at her directly in the face. "If a second choice can get the dress of the Alpha's mother, and could put the entire hall to silence when she walked in, are you sure she isn't the first choice?" Shira gasped, her chest pumping as her face turned red. She took a few steps back, people seated around who had heard their conversation were staring at her,
“What are you doing here?” Adira finally mustered enough courage to ask Theodore who was just staring at her without saying anything. "Well, I came to check up on you, after the whole Adolphus issue." He paused, his hands were behind him like he was hiding something he didn't want Adira to see. "You kind of disappeared." Adira remained quiet, and let out a silent sigh of relief. It seemed he had not heard about her fight with Laura, her mind started to drift into more relief and she totally forgot what Theodore had just said. “Adira!” He voiced out, suddenly pulling her back to reality. “Did you hear me? I said you kind of disappeared earlier on while crying, are you okay now?” “Yeah, sorry, my mind was a little bit carried away. I'm fine now. " "Are you sure? Adira, I came back here to this cabin to search for you, and you were nowhere to be found. You made me super worried." "Well, I did tell you not to follow me, because I needed to be alone at that time and I meant it.”
Shira swiftly walked down the staircase, through the various hallways of the castle, over to the throne room. Then she came to a stand still at the throneroom's doorway entrance. A devious smile settled on her face as she stared at Theodore who was standing at the balcony of the throne room, peacefully watching the setting sun unaware of Shira lurking by the doorway. The feeling of relief overwhelmed her, she felt it was finally victory for her over Theodore. Because she was certain once she told Theodore about the hidden relationship of Adira and Liam, it would destroy any feelings Theodore may harbor for Adira. All that would be left, would be to suggest transferring the bond from Adira to herself. She couldn't contain her joy. "Theodore, we need to talk." She finally walked into the throne room, straight to the balcony, to stand behind Theodore who didn't even turn back to her. This irritated her. "Theodore!" She took a short step forward. "Did you hear what I just said?" H

"Not choosing is a choice too!" She exclaimed in a loud voice. "You damn well knew that. So stop toying with my feelings when you know, we are never going to happen."

"Well that was intense!" Lydia suddenly voiced out, drawing Laura's and Adira's attention to her. She had been standing behind them in the hallway, watching as the conversation with Laura got tense.
