I didn't understand, I truly didn't. I didn't know what I did wrong to make him snap at me like that in front of everyone, embarrassing and humiliating me in a way I believed that I did not deserve. Was I being so needy? Maybe I was, but I was really scared. I hated the Witches Empire from the bottom of my heart, not to mention that I was about to see Eleanor. I was tortured and almost killed in that place... I was going to see my abuser, why couldn't he understand that?
However, it was probably my fault. I crossed the
Rayne was getting weaker before my eyes. She could barely stand still and in a few seconds, she fainted. The moment her head was about to hit the ground, I rushed to her side and put my hand under her head, so she would not get hurt. My heart tightened in my chest when I saw her unconscious in my arms."Rayne! Rayne!" I kept calling her name, but her eyes were still closed. Her cheeks were so red and her skin was feverish. "Rayne! Wake up," I mumbled nervously. She was okay before coming here, what happened to her? Oliv
Nobody was as relieved as Rayne when the plane landed in Harlow. During the whole flight, she did not say a word. She stared out of the window, carefully examining what that small window allowed her to see. Olivia tried to get her to talk about what happened with the witches, yet Rayne refused to approach the topic. I was dying to know what they did to her. She did not look at me once, but I made sure to sit beside her in case she had a panic attack or something.
Although I was a bit mad at Adrian,joy managed to find its own way to my heart when I saw him at my door. He managed to make me smile just by his presence in front of me. I could not hide my embarrassment after he saw me wearing my onesie, but it was so comfy. It made me feel better even if it was just for a little, but I was desperate for any kind of comfort. Comfort was something that had been stolen from me ever since I was at the Witches Empire.
I was standing in front of the mirror, wearing a sparkly light grey dress that was brought to me along with four other dresses. Personally, I liked this dress a lot. I loved how it looked on me and how it hugged my body. The dress was long and decorated with a darker shade of grey beads; the high slit on the left leg of the dress made it look incredibly sexy, yet elegant at the same time.
When I said Rayne and I were just friends, I did not mean it. However, I knew nothing about how she felt towards me and I did not want to get my hopes up. I was scared of getting turned down or having my heart broken by this girl who stole my heart and took my breath away.
"I don't like this," I mumbled and got up from my place. Tyler sent me off and I only acted nicely towards him just to make Adrian mad. However, there was this weird thing about that man that made worry creep into my heart.
"I need you to do me a lifetime favour," Rayne spoke. She tried to sound confident, but by the look in her eyes, I could tell that she was lost. She wanted some assurance and she came to my door, hoping that I could supply her with what she desired.
The moment the light of the sun hit my face my eyes started to flutter. I was cuddled with a pillow between my arms and my comfy duvet was over my body, keeping me warm. I did not recall falling asleep in my bed. I remember being in Adrian's suite. I remember him being so nice to me and comforting me. I remember laughing out loud from my heart when he tickled me. I remember him massaging my hair and holding me between his strong arms. I remember falling asleep with half of my body on top of him.
AdrianWhen I look at the soldiers around me, I fail to find any ounce of fear. Men and women look bold and dauntless; they’re ready to tear apart any creature who may represent an obstacle in front of the safety of their loved ones. In their hearts, there may be traces of fear, but when my eyes fall on them, I only see a kind of bravery that is quite unprecedented to me. They know that by coming here, there’s a huge chance that they may not go back home.
My eyes have not dried yet. I cry day and night. I cry for the loss of my best friend, I cry for Roland who lost his other half, I cry for Adrian who lost his best friend and his sister. My heart is burning and I do not know how to cool it down. I go to her room every day, hoping that I can find her, but she is not there. Olivia is no longer here. I still remember the look in her eyes when Eleanor ripped her heart out. I remember how she defended me till her last breath and for that, I really hate myself. Had it not been for me, she would have been alive.
My heart is beating fast, I'm scared. I just want to run to the battlefield and check on Adrian. I'm tired of that feeling in my heart, something I cannot describe. It is a feeling that makes me overthink, a feeling that exhausts my mind and steals my energy away from me; it's a wave of worry and a tornado of stress. It seems that my eyes forgot how it feels to be dry because they are always filled with tears; I'm drowning in my rivers of tears. My heart is screaming in agony and my head is throbbing. I can't take it, I just can't. What do I call this feeling? It exceeds the normal pain. I think all
"I will return, I will find my way back to you. I will never leave you alone," I whisper as Rayne wraps her arms tightly around me. We are in front of the front door inside the house, Roland is hugging Olivia while Rayne is in my embrace. "Goo-,"
War. War is something dreadful. Lethal. Brutal. War takes from people their loved ones, it may destroy the whole world. War has many consequences and I wish I can pull away everyone I love from this cruel battle. I wish I can lock them away in a safe place and never let them out until it's all over, but I can't do that. My fiancé, my everything, the man I love the most is doing whatever it takes him to ensure my safety... If only he knows that all I care about is him now.
I looked out of the window of Adrian's study and saw Roland and Olivia sitting in the garden. They looked so cute together and I truly wished them an eternity of happiness because they both deserved to be happy. Roland was playing with her long blonde hair with one hand while she held his other hand in hers as she talked to him about something I definitely could not hear from where I was.
Ten of the werewolves empires joined us. They were all allies of Atticus and since he was with us, on our team. That was enough to convince them to join us.
"No! You're not going alone! I won't let you go alone!" Rayne exclaimed as she followed me around the suite while I packed my bag.
Adrian fulfilled his promise. I did sleep in our bed that night. Neither Tyler nor Eleanor was able to take me away from the people I loved. My mind failed to comprehend the disaster the world was about to encounter. Was I the reason behind that? Would it have been better if I was dead? I kept thinking and my mind settled on only one conclusion: if Adrian did not find me then I would have probably been dead from being tortured 24/7 then Eleanor would not have gone crazy and everything would have been the way it had always been.
