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.
I walked inside my study and I was a bit surprised to see Rayne inside. I was not angry that she was there since I already allowed her to come and borrow whichever book she wanted to read. I saw her inspecting the map of the new world, tracing her fingers over the empires. She looked so beautiful when she was concentrating on something. I loved how she looked in her black pants and her red leather jack
I knocked on Rayne's door and waited for her to open it; I bet her emotions were all over the place and she had the right to feel like that. Today was the meeting with the other emperors and although she tried to act strong, she dreaded this day from the bottom of her heart.
"I don't want this..." I whispered to Adrian with a frown on my face. I did not want to touch Tyler or have his hand on me in any way; he freaked me out and disgusted me."I know and I'm sorry, but it'
There are moments in one’s life when they encounter their own stupidity and the consequences of their actions. There are moments when one realizes that they have done something wrong and instead of fixing what happened, they keep on aggravating their wrongdoings even if they can see quite well that what they are doing is completely wrong.
What did Adrian want from me? Did he want to drive me crazy? Because if so, then he had been doing an amazing job. Why was he doing all of this to me? Just when I thought I could win his heart and I could bring his walls down, he managed to throw me on the other side of those walls and build them higher.
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.
