Chapter 50: Adelaide.
My mind struggles to come to terms with what just happened and I find myself blinking repeatedly.There is disbelief on my face, pure disbelief and unbridled shock. How the hell did that just happen?My eyes drift to Raymel's form still passed out and unconscious under the contents of the table he had crashed into. My heart twists immediately at the sight of him.He had looked really angry and annoyed with himself, like he couldn't help but feel stupid that he had trusted someone like me. I know what he was really annoyed about was the fact that he had underestimated me.Or rather underestimated Cain and all his badassery.Cain was the one who helped me get into this gown, helped me braid my hair, helped me apply the light makeup now on my face and he was the one who told me to splash some of the champagne on my dress when I came here. He didn't tell me why, just said I should do it.He had also told me some other things, things I realize I have to thank him for when the time comes.

Chapter 51: Cain.
"I see you made it here in one piece?" Adelaide nods and keeps on looking around so I shake my head and pick up the menu. She did well considering the fact that she's still alive. Lyros hasn't killed her yet, and I'm reluctant to accept the fact that it would have hurt me if he killed her. "What are we here for?" I look up to see her still looking around but there's a sparkle of suspicion in her eyes now. The look of fascination has now become an act, and she's wary of the reason she's here now. "Lyros has sold you to me." Her eyes snap to meet mine and the horror in there almost makes me feel bad. "What?" I chuckle and turn back to the menu. "You're the one asking the foolish questions. What do people do in restaurants?" She frowns and crosses her arms over her chest while slinking into the seat slowly. "You could have just said we're here to eat y'know." I nod and tap on a particular dish. "I could have but I didn't want to." This will go perfectly well into my stomach

Chapter 52: Adelaide.
Cain kissed me.My hands are shaking as I scrub my skin with the soapy sponge. There's little I can think of like this and everything I think of somehow brings me back to Cain.He kissed me.Cain fucking kissed me!But why?I scrub harder and step out of the bathroom with a towel around my chest. I almost slipped on the wet tiles, which would have been stupid because slipping on that and falling would just hurt, not provide answers to my questions.But Cain kissed me didn't he?Almost on cue my mind brings me back to the moment, both of us with our feet in the lake, petals floating near his and my skirts bunched up in my laps so I could enjoy the water to its full extent.We were in some park and the moon had shone off Cain's hair so magically, his eyes almost looked surreal and so did the rest of him, like a vision dropped right from the skies and right into the space beside me.My heart was aching, and then he turned my face and kissed me!"Arghhhhhhhhhhh'"My bed welcomes me with o

Chapter 53: Adelaide.
"No."I blink and meet Cain's stare like I'm not scared. "Why not?""You'd die before you even moved a finger against that thing."The fact hits me like a slap in the face but I harden my heart all the same. "Leah was terrified because of that when she came to my room. She could barely speak well.""So what? You want to charge out blindly and try to attack this thing? Even the warriors aren't allowed outside the building for too long. Security has become heavier and everyone is feeling something they haven't known for a long while now. Leah isn't the only one who's scared, so think well before you take any rash steps. You'd die and no one would mourn you."Cain's words are scalding hot and i swallow all of them down like coals of fire down my throat"I can still be of help" He glares at me but i continue "My guess is that this intruder is only after Lycans, but i'm a werewolf.""Get to the point."Lyros walks in through the doors and the atmosphere becomes noticeably colder. He walk

Chapter 54: Cain.
What in the goddess's name am I doing?Lyros is standing just beside me and I can't get my hands to work properly. His voice is like cold ice down my back."You seem nervous, Cain."I nod and grip the pencil tighter. "I'll be fine."I can do this.I've done this a million times and I've never been this unfocused. The map is on the table in front of me and I set to work. Scouting enemy territory is something I've done for as long as I can remember.I know of the passageways that lie under King Galan's home and I know of the ones under Alizadeh's.I know of the walls King Rafie has around his city and I know of the evacuation ships docked at their borders.The world that separates us from that of the humans is a world on its own. Some parts closest to the barrier have been touched by modernity, some others that still lie inland, that lie way inland, have not smelt anything like technology. They have seen it and rejected it, deciding instead to be trapped in what the humans would call t

Chapter 55: Adelaide.
"I have been informed of the attack that took place in my absence." Lyros's voice booms through the space and the warrior Lycans all stay converged on the lower floor and looking up at their king. "This new threat is nothing like any we have ever faced" Lyros's voice is cold but i can tell he inspires a sense of awe in his subjects "A werewolf male with eyes the shape of crescent moons and Lycan like abilities, it will be hard to deal with him. It will be hard to deal with the rest of them out there wherever they are, they may be stronger than us and faster than us, but stepping into the home of a king and threatening its inhabitants should be the one thing they should have never done." The warriors grow still and Lyros takes in each and everyone of them with hard calculating eyes. "We will find them, and we will end them. If they are fast then we will be faster, if they are strong then we will be stronger. We are Lycans, and Lycans don't cower in fear because of lowly dogs." The

Chapter 56: Adelaide.
The hall leading to Leah's infirmary is bustling with warrior Lycans.I don't think i've ever come across this many outside the training auditoriums and i know i spend more time wandering these halls than any of them have spent outside it. They're always training and they never leave that place.They converse well with each other but i don't think they talk to anyone else other than themselves. Only Cain and Rhys have made any efforts to say anything to me and even then, they always have their own motives. I don't know if I want the rest of them to talk to me if they're all going to be like that.It's not safe and it's not something I would want.Cain is not in Leah's space when I get there so I just place myself into a bed and release a loud sigh. I want to fall into a deep sleep."Hey, get up sleeping beauty."Leah smacks me on the lap and I groan, rising from the bed and only now realizing how much my face aches. Hells, the Lycan king sure knows how to slap.Leah sits down on the c

Chapter 57: Adelaide.
I look at the dress Leah has fitted me into and I frown. "How is this supposed to help me with my next mission?" She smiles behind me and grabs the light semi transparent material I've been draped in. "I think it looks perfect." "It's barely covering anything on my body! I can't walk in this thing knowing fully well I'm in a state of semi nudity." Leah chuckles and drops the line of fabric. I take a good look at myself in the mirror. Hell no. No, no. No. This thing barely covers anything on my body. The strips of fabric are held together at the back with strings, Leah has helped me loop them in but i still don't want to walk in it. The whole dress is made of a wine red colored fabric, the top starts out off my shoulders, the sleeves are long enough to reach my wrists but that's by the way. Two swaths of fabric cup my breasts and keep them in place, but even with that I can still see the light color of my skin through the net like fabric. The fabric extends down into the ski

Chapter 58: Cain.
"Is she still in her room?"Leah nods and shakes the contents of the bottle in her hand."Refused to come out for the past day and a half now.""Even for food?"She chuckles at my question and nods."Even for food, Cain. According to the maids, her response was "I'm eating enough right now already!" "The way Leah makes a perfect impression of her should make me smile. Mere conversation about her should make me feel like the world is brighter, but it doesn't.Instead, I feel cold inside at the thought of her. Leah soaks the bandages in the substance she's been shaking all this while. The sharp tang of the antiseptic fills the air and I flinch again, like I always did when I was a child. This always happens when Lyros administers one of his beatings.There's something about his ability that clashes with mine and hence the result being me feeling out of depth for a while.If Leah notices it, she doesn't say anything. She presses the bandages to the nasty wound on my shoulder and I bite

Chapter 59: Adelaide.
"Open the door!" The sound of banging annoys me and I roll my eyes as I flip to the next page. Don't they ever get tired? "I'm not going to! Threaten me all you like, I'm not opening the damn door!" There is righteous vindication in my bones and I don't really know what that means, but I know it means I am not going to open the door. I have been here for the past two days and I've barely moved from this spot. I sleep here, wake up here, go back to the book i am reading here. I'll end my second day in isolation here, with this book open in front of me and my legs propped up. I've barely finished the second and the two day break is almost over. More than that is the fact that they're all disturbing the hell out of me and making me waste even more of my time telling them I'm not coming out. Even if the Lycan king himself came to the door, I would not open it. "Adelaide! Open the door!" My eyes move from one line to the other, the story coming alive the more I devour the words and
