Her Two Proud Wolves Chapter 64
Adelia’s Point of ViewThe market was lively to say the least. With various spices flavoring the air and tons of colors all around us, it nearly made the heat bearable.The later into the day it became, the more the heat seemed to suffocate us. Drew us into the shadows and under the covers of various vendors.Michael had emptied one of our bags, dragging it behind him as he went. With no shopping carts in sight, it was the best solution we could come up with to get our groceries and get the fuck out. But every stall offered something different. Had some or other nicety that he just had to see or buy.By the tenth stall that didn’t contain any food, I was swaying from foot to foot, already irritated with the entire process. Which wasn’t entirely a process to begin with, seeing as he trotted into anything that seemed somewhat interesting.“I saw a café on the other side of the market. I think I’m going to go and wait for you there.” I explained and dodged out of the spice shop we had fo
Her Two Proud Wolves Chapter 65
Adelia’s Point of ViewAs night fell, the pack became even more vibrant. Street performers came out in droves. Danced across the markets with joy I hadn’t seen in a while. Revellers swayed from one bar to the next, alcohol clinging to the air like a second skin.And with all of the new commotion came guards. They tried their best to disguise themselves as normal people but the way they stood gave them away immediately. Stiff postures and snide remarks to each other whenever someone came too close.Clearly, the pack was used to them by now.Most people gave them wide berths, sensing the malice behind their presence.Michael, on the other hand, tried his best at befriending two of them. Clung to their side with a sloshing beer mug that spilled the foamy liquid all over himself and them.Despite the scent of alcohol on his breath, he hadn’t drunk a damned drop.We were out here in the dead of night to scan where we needed to go. To speak to drunk people who could give us any details abou
Her Two Proud Wolves Chapter 66
Adelia’s Point of ViewBy dawn I was well aware of where I was. Knew that somewhere in this pack Siya now roamed with my mother. Or would be roaming with my mother soon enough.Both outcomes tugged at my heart strings. Played on the most fearful part of my mind until I was tossing and turning.At night, at least, the pack cooled down considerably. Swallowed the hot air of the day whole and spat out a sheen of cold that came as a reprieve, seeing as the fan above my bed did little to combat the heat.Dreams and thoughts about my mother seemed to haunt me. With a nightmare of how they could hurt her lingering well past my waking hours. Falling back asleep had seemed futile enough that I crawled out of bed well before the sun was up.Outside, I could hear the last of the people mulling about from last night’s festivities. Some were screaming for friends whilst others laughed and danced all the way home.It reminded me of a much simpler time. About three weeks ago when life was still norm
Her Two Proud Wolves Chapter 67
Siya’s Point of ViewCatching the man who had shot Adelia had brought a new thrill to my blood. Made me feel like the world was mine for the taking and anyone in it.I had protected my own by dispatching a threat to her life. And the pleasure I got from it was directly linked to the mating bond I now nurtured like kindling inside my chest.No one would harm her again. Not whilst I lived an breathed.He had been a rookie sniper in one of the lower ranking units. Green as they could come and had only gotten in a lucky shot. Or it was lucky until he found out what the hostage meant to me. Figured out he had made a grave error in shooting her.Of course he tried to explain it away. Said that it was his duty to the cause to shoot anyone who looked like a threat to me or mine. But it all fell on deaf ears when I cornered him eventually.The fear on his face when I told him his days were numbered sent pleasure tingling down my spine. Reminded me of just what I was capable of when the people

Adelia’s Point of ViewHe sounded off. Sounded shaken to his very core. And it frightened the living shit out of me.When he told me he wanted to talk to me about my mother as well, my heart skipped several times. Nearly stopped beating in my chest. The fear was so tangible that Michael had moved closer to me. Pushed most of the weapons to the ground so that he could be close.I swallowed when he cut the call. Felt my hands trembling on my lap.“What did he say?” Michael asked, his eyes going glassy from our proximity.But I didn’t have time to indulge in my fantasies of him. Of him on me and in me. Because I might as well have just heard my mother was no longer with us. That they had already killed her because she had put up too much of a fight.“He agreed to meet with me at ten in the same café as today.” I got out through a thickly clenched throat.So many thoughts swirled inside of me. Bucked and twisted until I couldn’t hold down my puke any longer.Jumping up from the couch, my
Her Two Proud Wolves Chapter 69
Adelia’s Point of ViewThe stalls were packed again. People of all shapes and sizes darted in and out. Yelled and bartered with no heed for anyone else around them.As I made my way to the café, I could feel Michael’s eyes on me. Felt it drifting down my spine and all the way back. Knew that he was scanning the crowd feverishly to see who else might appear out of the blue at any given moment.My own heart seemed to stall every time I thought I saw Siya in the crowd. Lurched when I realized it was someone else and I was just being paranoid.By the time I sat down, I was already drenched in sweat. Knew that stains were forming on the thin material beneath my armpits.I looked horrid and I was on my way to see my mate.What would he think-No. This wasn’t some romantic date in the middle of a market. This was my mission to find out what was wrong with my mother.Settling into the closest table to the entrance, I watched as the crowd moved like one hive-mind. It was baffling to think that
Her Two Proud Wolves Chapter 70
Adelia’s Point of View It was like seeing a ghost appear out of thin air. One minute I was watching the crowd, the next she was there and she was familiar and my heart nearly gave out. My mom was as beautiful as always. Had her hair down and cascading around her in waves. Her beautiful face framed by long black lashes and a pert upturned nose. Even by wolf standards, she was beyond gorgeous. Always had been. Sometimes I wondered if I looked like her, even in the slightest, considering how stunning she was. But looking at her now, I could see something was wrong. Off. But I couldn’t put my finger on it. Her normally plump lips were drawn into a tight line. Her eyes narrowed into slits. And they remained that way, even when she finally noticed me. What I noticed next was a shock to my system. Phaedra had her arm looped into my mother’s like old friends. Beamed at me and Siya as they approached with a shark smile that sent the hairs on my arm standing on end. I wanted nothing more
Her Two Proud Wolves Chapter 71
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
