“Now, can we sit and talk about what's going on here instead of running a marathon?” Joyce asked Nora.
Once Nora nodded her head and gave her affirmation, Joyce let go of her arm. Then she said, “That’s good. Finally, someone is listening to me.”
When she noticed Ernest trying to sneak away from there with a wide grin, she said,
“You too, grandpa! I think that’s enough pretending that you are trying to catch your breath. We have some serious talk to do that’s pending for a long time now, I guess,” Joyce called her grandfather and waited until he was seated on the outdoor chair comfortably.
Ernest sat on the chair with a grumpy face. He kept on glaring at Wyatt and cursed him in his heart for having such a foolish mate. Wyatt sweated a lot and felt chills on his body, every time, Ernest looked at him.
“So, now! Let’s hear about this so-called friend you came here with and also the per
Joyce sat opposite Ernest and stared into his eyes while trying to read his thoughts. Ernest evaded her intense gaze and looked at the sky.“Isn’t it a clear sky today?” He had just finished saying that when the rain started to pour on them.As he didn’t get any reply from Joyce, he said, “Let’s go inside. Who would know that it would start to rain all of a sudden? The weather in this forest is so unpredictable. Huff... huff...”Joyce stood under the rain without moving and asked, “Didn’t you spread the rumors that rain is a curse for us? Especially soaking our body in water? Then why did it happen to me too?”“I already told you that the curse is only for Drake and it only works on him. So, why are we even discussing this topic now? I thought we already cleared that misunderstanding. Let’s go back inside before you catch a cold,” Ernest said and tried to pull her up.Joy
“That is different unlike the situation now. It is completely different... Don’t you dare try to escape from your sins so easily? We still have some scores to settle, Old woman,” Adele huffed and mumbled under her breath.Betty rolled her eyes and looked at her daughter, Adele with disdain. With a sullen face, she pinched Adele's arm."Ouch! Mom, What is wrong with you? Why did you pinch me?" Adele complained and tried to pinch her mom back.“Oh! Ho! How lively the whole house had become after your arrival? I am so happy… I am so happy…” Ernest danced around the living room and came near them.Joyce stood up from the sofa and ran towards him while weeping loudly.“Grandpa… I am sorry. I am so sorry… I should have not lost my patience and shouted at you.” She hugged him and bawled her eyes out.“It’s ok, my little wolf. There is nothing to be sorry about. I did
“So, one part of her is a hunter and another is a wolf. I didn’t want her to face any troubles while growing up. So, I placed a spell on her and sealed her memories of both wolf and hunter." She explained to them.“Is there no way for both the personalities inside her to know each other’s existence?” Joyce asked her.“I don’t know if it’s possible as there were no such cases before. But I doubt, if they come to know of each other’s existence then one may try to dominate the other and …” Adele shook her head as she was afraid to even imagine the outcome."My daughter would have stayed happily if only she was not disturbed by some stupid wolf,” Adele blamed Drake for her daughter's awakening.Ernest and Joyce smiled awkwardly at Adele but inside their mind, they were actually joyful. 'Ha ha ha, finally there is someone who could teach that lazy brat some good lessons,' They thoug
"Yes, yes! Also, you are the most powerful being in the whole universe. There is no one like you and you are one of a kind," Joyce informed her with overflowing enthusiasm.Anayka pushed Drake aside, who was still holding her face and not letting go of her. Then she rubbed her aching cheeks as he had been squeezing them all this time.She already understood that he was too lazy to move his hand from her face, and that's why he was holding it till now. She shook her head in disappointment.After listening to the story Joyce told her, she pinched Drake’s thighs to see if it was real or all of it was just a very bad dream.“Ahh. It hurt a lot, my mate… Why did you do that?” Drake rubbed his legs and asked her.“Didn’t you squeeze my cheeks till now? It’s to take revenge for that,” Anayka muttered and pinched him one more time.She then scrutinized and found that there was something unique in ever
“You have decided well. But you can’t move in with your boyfriend, yet. For now, let us just leave this horrible place and go back to the city. Later, we can sit and talk about this boyfriend thing in a relaxed manner,” Adele hid her content deep inside her heart and spoke to Anayka in a very calm voice.She even patted Anayka's shoulder to show her encouragement that the decision she made was not bad. Anayka smiled at her mother and nodded her head in understanding.Looking at the way, both the mother and daughter were communicating with each other, Drake became alert. His brain kept on sending several warning signals with a beeping sound.“What? No! She is my soulmate. Mom, please don’t separate me from her. I cannot live without her. So, how about I also come along with you both and we will all live happily together? Let us even forget about my grandfather. He is too old to travel and he may disturb us a lot,” Drake held Ad
Once Drake was safely placed inside the trunk of the car, the butler started the engine. But he did not drive away immediately and waited for Ernest's signal.Ernest waved at them cheerfully and even wished them to have a happy journey.Then he held Anayka's hands through the open window of the car and said,.“If you ever change your mind or wish to see me, please come back. You can always call Wyatt at any time of the day if you face any issues in the city. He will be at your beck and call. Also, all you have to do is give him a missed call and he will immediately bring you here."He then rubbed her head and said, "I am already starting to miss you so much. Do you really have to go?”"I am sorry, Mr. Ernest. I really need to go and resolve my family issues. Also, I couldn't meet my grandfathers properly yet. I hardly spoke when we met last time as I didn't even know that they were my grandfather." Anayka said.Her eyes kept on sea
'She is a bad influence on my Anayka. I need to make sure that my mother could never do anything bad to my innocent daughter,’ Adele made a decision and hid Anayka from Betty’s view.“If we are finally done with all the parting messages and farewell exchanges, then Mr. Driver, why don’t you hit the accelerator and start to drive the car now?” Adele asked impatiently and kicked the front seat.“She is just like her father. So impatient and get ridiculously over herself. Please do not mind her rude behavior,” Betty comforted the driver so that he would not get offended by Adele’s actions.“I understand, Madam,” The butler nodded his head.Then he looked at his master for confirmation and once he got a signal, he drove the car away from the mansion.Adele had noticed the interaction between Ernest and the butler. She huffed and shook her head in contempt. ‘This old man is no better than
“Orphanage? No! Who told you that? Yes, I and your father never spoke about our parents or our family members to you but we never told you that we were orphans or grew up in an orphanage,” Adele wondered.“I heard from Ashley’s mother, Erica. She told me after they killed you… I mean after you disappeared suddenly…” Anayka stuttered as it had always been very difficult for her to talk about that day.“My little girl, did you see anything happen on that day when I disappeared?” Adele held Anayka’s face and asked her while looking straight into her eyes.She hoped that they had not involved her daughter in all this mess. ‘She was hardly ten years old at that time. If they did use her then, I will make sure to show them all what hell means!’ Adele grudgingly thought.“I… I… Mom… I saw …” Anayka stammered and then her head started to ache.
