Everyone unconsciously turned to look at Adrian to see his reaction which they knew wouldn’t be good.And just as they had expected, his hands had now shifted into claws and his eyes were shifting from black to brown. He swiftly hid his claws behind his back so Adelia wouldn’t notice it and get even more terrified of him. “You said it was the leader that set you up?” he asked with a terrifying smile on his face.“Yes,” Adelia nodded innocently. She, unlike the others, was oblivious to what her words were doing to her mate. If only she knew that her words had sealed the man's fate.“Was that why you went to jail?” he probed.“No, I was acquitted as they said it was self defense,” Adelia answered. “He stole some items and they were found in my house.”“Since I had already turned eighteen I was sentenced to six months and I had already spent over five months, before it was proven that I had nothing to do with it,” she answered.“Hmm, okay,” Adrian simply said but Arthur and Lance knew t
Amelia came back moments later holding a fresh set of clothes.Thankfully they had the same stature. The height was the only difference as Adelia was a bit taller than Amelia but she would be able to manage the clothes.“Take a shower and change into any one you choose,” Amelia said to Adelia. “I have never worn any of it so rest assured you can wear them.”“Can you leave now, I want to be alone,” Adelia requested. She wasn’t trying to be rude or anything but a lot had happened and she just wanted to be alone.Thankfully, Amelia understood this and she left without a word. She headed straight back to her room where someone suddenly grabbed her from behind.She wanted to yell but when she felt the familiar sparks under her skin, she relaxed and rested her back in his chest. “Aren't you supposed to be killing Lance?” she asked.“Yeah, I am done with that,” Arthur answered. “How’s your sister holding up?” he asked her and kissed the side of her forehead lovingly.“Well she seems to be a
After eating, Adelia requested to know more about the supernatural world and about lycans. Amelia then decided that it was a good time to explain the concept of mates and how they worked.Adelia wished she hadn’t as soon as Amelia started but she couldn’t bring herself to ask Amelia to stop. A lot of things were now making sense to her as to why Adrian was behaving like that to her.And at the same time, she was freaked out by the idea of instantly loving someone who you’ve never met all because of a bond.She couldn’t deny the fact that Adrian was a very handsome man but she couldn’t fathom the fact that they were expecting her to spend the rest of her life with him when she barely knew him.Just as she was thinking about him, she saw him walk into the room. His and her eyes met and she found herself getting lost in them. Upon realizing what was happening, she quickly looked away.“Amelia what happened?” Arthur asked as he walked up to her. “Nothing big, it has already been handl
"So what were you doing in the kitchen?" She asked, trying to start up a conversation."I was getting myself a snack," Adrian answered. "Do you want anything?" He asked Adelia and she shook her head.He grabbed an apple from the counter and then took his seat opposite her as he didn't want to make her uncomfortable by getting close to her.His lycan didn't think the same way as he was trying to take control and move closer to his mate.The lycan was an animal and therefore he acted on his animalistic instinct not on rationale and what he wanted was to get closer to his mate."How many people have you killed?" Adelia asked out of the blue.Her question was shocking to Adrian who wondered what in the world would make her ask such a thing."I can't say for sure as I don't keep count," he answered regardless."Just make a guess," Adelia requested."Over two thousand," Adrian answered truthfully. He knew that there was a huge probability that Adelia would become scared of him and would want
Adelia heard Amelia's soft cries in the bathroom and she rushed to her and so did Cara."Where is Arthur, I want Arthur!" Amelia exclaimed. "It's better if you both stay away from each other," Cara said."No, he's the only one who can make this pain stop, call him in here!" Amelia demanded."What are we going to do?" Adelia asked Cara worriedly"I don't know, even if I make her lose consciousness the pain will make her wake up again," Cara said."Ahhh, make it stop!" Amelia growled and her hair started to turn white as well as her clothes."Cara shouldn't we stop her?" Adelia asked."No, I think this is best as her protector side may make the pain stop," Cara said and they both watched Amelia transform.As soon as Amelia finished transforming, she lost consciousness and stayed in that form.Cara and Amelia heaved a sigh of relief when they saw that Amelia was no longer in pain."Why did she experience such a thing?" Adelia asked Cara."Because she has been marked," Cara answered. "Af
And just as Adrian had intended, she felt guilty for what she did even though she didn’t ask him to put his leg in the way. All he she wanted was for him to stay away from her and not to break his foot.“I’m sorry,” she apologized.Adrian immediately felt guilty when he saw the look in her eyes, and he decided to call the whole act off, but Adelia spoke before he could do so.“Can you walk? If yes, then let’s go to my apartment,” she said to make up for what she had done. “Yes I can,” Adrian answered, and Adelia squinted her eyes suspiciously at him.“I'm a Lycan; we have healing abilities,” he quickly said.“Then why were you making such a big deal earlier,” Adelia yelled at him.“You already said you were coming with me, so don’t you dare go back on your word,” Adrian warned Adelia and he stood up from his seat. “So let’s go,” he said.“I refuse to come with you,” Adelia declared.“Too bad you are, you see one I agreed to you. A bond was already formed, if you go back on your wo
After all, she had seen what he had done to those hydras who tried to attack her. Adelia’s eyes darted behind Adrian, and to her horror, another goon had picked up a piece of wood from the door, and he intended to hit Adrian with it.“Adrian, watch out!” she said, and she turned Adrian to the other side, putting herself in danger. She closed her eyes and waited to feel pain, but it didn’t come. She slowly opened her eyes and turned to see what had happened. To her surprise, Adrian had managed to stop the attack just in time as he held the piece of wood with his hand.“Don’t ever do that again!” he growled in anger. How dare she put herself in danger because she wanted to save him. Was she crazy? He had super healing abilities, but she didn’t.“Go out!” he ordered her in a firm tone. Adelia saw that his eye color was slowly turning red. Well, she had tried her best, but the idiots ruined it.“Don’t go overboard,” she said, and he nodded. She turned and started walking. She had barel
“Okay,” Adelia responded and didn’t say anything else. The rest of the car ride was silent as no one said anything, and Adrian didn’t bother to put on the radio. It seemed like he was the type who didn’t like listening to it, as she had never seen him put it on.Damn, she didn’t even have her phone and earpiece to listen to music to drive away the boredom.It had gotten destroyed the day those damn bastards attacked her and tried to kill her. Just like she had earlier said, she wasn’t a gold digger to ask Adrian to get it for her.She would just somehow have to come up with the money to get herself a new phone.Adrian glanced at Adelia, who was resting her head on the window and appeared to be in deep thought. He wondered what was going on in her head.His mind suddenly went back to the time she was ready to take that strike for him.He had been so mad that she had tried to do so. He still was, however he was calmer. Therefore, he realized that there was no way she would have done
