All Chapters of Her Two Proud Wolves: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Adelia’s Point of View I had to give it to her, her hands were immensely soft. Cold like ice but I expected nothing less from the ice queen herself. As one, the guards who had fallen into the crowd came bursting forward at the first sign of their heir’s distress. Like one, they plucked their guns from their holsters and pointed them solidly at my face. Slowly, Phaedra forced me to my knees and I could see from the corner of my eyes Siya’s stricken face. My mother, on the other hand, looked like it was just another Tuesday. Then I let my eyes slide back to Phaedra. Took in the crazed look in her eyes. Her smile was one sent straight out of hell. Warped her once beautiful face into something I wanted to wipe off of the face of the earth. “You think I’m crazy? Well, darling,” She held out her hand to one of the guards and a knife was firmly placed in her grip. “Let me show you exactly how deranged I am.” She finished, eyes blazing with fury. I swallowed and felt her press the blade t

Adelia’s Point of View We weren’t sleeping in the same wing as I had previously. Got tossed into the busiest part of the compound, no doubt to try and keep me more at bay. Too many eyes for me to do anything reckless. Or so they assumed, at least. Because I was in the middle of a shit storm and there wasn’t anything I wouldn’t do to get out of it. Kick and scream and maim. At least from here the entrance to the cells below our feet was a bit closer- “What have you gotten yourself into, Adelia? These people? Honestly! I thought I raised you with a bit more common sense,” My mother sneered the moment the guards who had escorted us parted ways. Phaedra had also taken off in her own direction, even after my mother had offered to heal her brutalized face. The whore was too busy scheming for her to notice how utterly horrible she looked. Maybe she just didn’t care, rage riding her hard and fast like a damned broodmare. Standing in the middle of the living room, I looked at my mother

Adelia's Point of ViewHis face was a bloody mess. Coated in blood and what looked like his own vomit, I could smell more now than before. Had been hindered by the door until he pressed his face into the small opening at the top.My stomach roiled inside of me. Dread, slick and thick sluiced around my mind. Settled in the lower regions of my body until my legs felt like lead.Numbly, I reached for the small bars. Wrapped my fingers around them and hoisted myself up just enough that I had the best vantage point to see him.Behind me, Aiden stood guard. "What happened to you?" I breathed, feeling sick to my stomach.Because it had barely been two hours since I last saw him. Two hours stuck with my mother debating the morality of her cause. Or lack thereof. Someone surely couldn't have come down and-"Killian is the one who told Phaedra about us." He rasped out.The light inside the dim dungeon was slowly being consumed by more shadows and neither Aiden nor I had thought of bringing a

Michael's Point of ViewI had to move locations. There was no doubt about it, considering the one I was in might already have been compromised last night when I slinked into it after our failed mission.Finding options for other places to stay was the easy part. The internet was a glorious place, offering you a wide variety of locations across the board. From high end all the way to what looked like the damned slums, desert style.The hard part came when I had to choose a location that maximized my efforts.Too close to the looming compound and some guard might spot me. Too far away and I might miss any glimpse of Adelia that might occur. Too touristy and I would have too many people on my ass. Not touristy enough and people were going to wonder what the fuck I was up to.This was exactly why I liked it when the board members booked shit like this. It stopped me from overthinking everything. At least then I had a warm bed and food. Now? Now I felt like a granddad on his way to his fa

Adelia's Point of ViewShe didn't tell Phaedra. Or at least not yet. But that didn't solve the problem inside my head. It only made it worse, somehow. Caused a moral dilemma that I wasn't sure I could solve on my own.At least I was still alive. Able to try my best to get to Siya and Michael. Get back to Lover's Quarrel. But with my mother knowing I had gone down to see Siya last night, it would make the next few tasks difficult at best. She was going to watch me like a hawk the entire time. So, I did what any good daughter would do. Remained a healthy fucking distance away from her so that she got the message loud and clear.Just because we now had a secret between us didn't mean we were bonded. Despite her best efforts to try and get on my good side, it did nothing. Finally, finally, I was the perfect daughter for her. Had the rarest gifts amongst our people. Could kill someone with a touch. And finally, she could see a use for me other than to berate me about my father.But I d
