Chapter 56
The great war is here*
Adriana looked away from him, pressing her lips into a thin line, she knew the question would not be an easy one."Adriana, you promised to tell me" Xavier said, holding her shoulders.
" I... That day, I was just..."
"You promised to tell me the truth" Xavier cut her off.
" And... And that is what I am saying" Adriana replied, trying her best not to stutter.
"That day I was just too hurt that you kept it from me for such a long time, you made me seem like a fool, I really do not like people keeping things from me" she replied but Xavier knew she was lying.
He remembered clearly the way she mentioned his name over and over again, the way she had vehemently refused him.
"That's not the truth Adriana, you said it that day that we were not compatible, you told me we can't be together, what is the reason behind it?" Xavier asked and Adriana played with her fingers.
"I already told
Chapter 57Taking over the wolf hunters issue*" What great war are you talking about mother?" Xavier asked his mother." Xavier, tell your father. The great war is really going to come soon"" What is going to cause this war?" Xavier asked." I have no idea but I am certain the war will be here in a few months or few weeks or worse in a few days"" Forget about it and have your rest mother. I and father will take care of things okay?" He asked and his mother nodded." You really have to do something or else, we all are going to die," she said to him with fear still evident in her voice."None of us is going to die" Xavier assured his mother.*"Adriana" she heard Aunty Sarah's voice in her ears and she sat up."Aunty Sarah" she replied."Are you okay?" Aunty Sarah asked worriedly." Why does everyone seem worried? I am really okay" she replied." How far have you gone with the moonst
Chapter 58A lead on the wolf hunting case*Adriana smiled and hurriedly kissed his cheek."You just can't keep on kissing my cheeks, you are not a high school kid, you should go further, okay?" Xavier admonished." You are too demanding! You deserve nothing" she huffed and went through the list of the human workers."Who were the last victims?" She asked walking out of Xavier's office with the manager."There were three victims, their corpse is still carefully preserved" The manager replied." Let me see them then" she replied and the manager led the way to where the corpses were kept.Adriana paid close attention to the corpses."They were killed a few meters away from the company, they were said to be returning from a bar and they were drunk" The manager replied." For the wolf hunters to have waited till they were drunk, it means that the hunters are not very strong or they are not numerous enough to take
Chapter 59*"Really?" Alpha Collen asked and Xavier nodded with a smile and moved closer to his father."My mate is more capable than anyone could have thought" he whispered to his Father with a chuckle."Adriana, you are making the moonstone family proud already. You are the new pride of the moonstones pack" Alpha Collen said to Adriana." Your compliment is too worthy, I just did a few thinking" Adriana replied with a modest smile." You are being too modest, I am proud of you" Alpha Collen smiled at her.It was the first time she was seeing this heartless enemy smile, Adriana hoped her father and mother along with her brother could see how she was luring the one who eliminated them into the pits of hell."I have something to attend to, I will be back and when I am back, I would love to hear the details of how you got the lead from you, Adriana." Alpha Collen smiled at her and exited the living room.Emilia's rage and ang
Chapter 60Can you last the third phase?.*Adriana woke up in the hands of Xavier the next morning and smiled, the previous night had been memorable.The pleasure she derived was definitely much more than the pain, especially when compared to her first time."Whix, isn't he so cute?" I asked with a smile playing on my lips."You could have just kissed me good morning" Xavier mumbled, opening his eyes and Adriana frowned at him playfully."Today is the second phase of the competition, I have to get prepared" Adriana said to him and tried to stand up but he pulled her back and she fell to his chest with a light gasp.He kissed her forehead, her cheeks, and her lips."Good morning" he beamed at her."Hmph! you want to be romantic?" Adriana scoffed." I think I am romantic enough" he replied." What romantic? You just keep on deceiving yourself" she rolled her eyes." Well as long as I can make you s
Chapter 61I am dead*Adriana washed her face severally and stared at her reflection in the mirror."Still pretty for my Xavier" she giggled and dressed up for work.The second phase was gone and the third phase was time be the hardest phase of all after all it would be filled with some sort of violence.Adriana and Emilia had to fight in the next phase and whosoever won would be announced the winner, the tabs already showed quite clearly that Adriana was going to win the competition but then if Emilia managed to win the next phase, another phase would be created to have them compete again.Adriana understood very well how important the next phase was and she was well prepared for any sort of casualty.She put on her heels and headed out of the room. The first person she saw was Emilia."Good morning Emilia" she smiled at her." Good morning Adriana" Emilia replied with a smile that kind of surprised Adriana, this smil
Chapter 62Making her feel flustered*"Good! Take her to father" Xavier said, stepping backwards and Stefan dragged Emilia up.The three of them walked into Alpha Collen's chambers and as expected Alpha Collen was focusing his eyes on Emilia who could not look up into his eyes."Where is she?" He asked with a coldly calm voice that wasn't so calm to Emilia, to her the voice was deadly."I... I really do not know... I really have no idea, someone please believe me" she pleaded, holding onto Xavier's legs but Xavier kicked her off in an instant."Please, do believe me... I am really innocent" she pleaded." Emilia, you only have two options, one tells us where Adriana is, two you die" Alpha Collen threatened, flashing yellow wolfsbane." I really have no idea where she is" she trembled, sweating badly.Xavier was about to say something when his phone rang in his pocket, he pulled out his mobile phone and his eyes widen
Chapter 63Tomorrow for you Adriana*Adriana pushed him off and pointed her index finger towards him."Learn to stop being so naughty, okay?!" She scolded him and he just chuckled."As long as I am with you, I want to be naughty" he yelled out when Adriana had gotten to the door.She said ignored his words and walked out of his office with the manager by her side."So how far did you go with Will?" She asked." He is human, 27, grew up in the western part of the moonstones and...."" The western part of the moonstones town?" Adriana asked and he nodded." You have another clue already?" The manager asked and Adriana smiled."Maybe, think about it. I once read those years back there was a clash between the humans and the werewolves in the western part of the town"" Yes there was, about 14 years ago, I think." The manager replied." During this clash, a lot of families were displaced, right?" Adri
Chapter 64Payback time*" Adriana, what's wrong with you?""Do you love Xavier more than you love us?"" Little sister, you don't love me anymore?"" I want his life little sister"" Adriana, you have e to remember your mission"" Avenge us, Adriana!"" Kill every single member of Collen's family!"" Get back the coven in place"" Adriana avenge us!!!"Suddenly, all three talking were slaughtered in the blink of an eye by him, Alpha Collen."Avenge us!!!!”Adriana woke up from the dream with a startle, her heart was beating rapidly while she breathed heavily.She looked around frantically but there was no one around. She could remember the faces of her parents and her brother as they screamed out to her in her dream.She just had a nightmare right in the afternoon, she closed her eyes, and images of the red wolfsbane fired into her father's head flashed through her mind
