Chapter 5 MYSTIC DISCOVERY

Adeline's pov

" Show us, our Luna," she said coldly, her green eyes digging into my secrets.

Oh, my God! He's saving me, but what is he up to? My eyes roamed around his body, looking for cuts and injuries, but there were none. I thought they fought?

" What were you doing? " He screamed, bringing me back to reality.

Well, he was staring at a guard who was shaking and sweating profusely beside him.

Elio ruffled his hair and, surprisingly, slapped him. Everyone gasped.

What is he doing? Does he want to get him killed? I felt terribly scared of him because he was slapping a guard.

Luisa opened her mouth to talk after staring at his antics for a while.

" What do you think you're doing, son? "She screamed.

Son? At this moment I became confused and eager to know the full story of my lover. I thought Matteo called him half brother! Oh, maybe she loves him as she loves Matteo? But again, who is the brother and the stepbrother? I can't be sure.

Elio gave him mom a little bow and walked up to her. " Your guard is nothing but trash? You can't believe this is how they do in the mansion. They've visited the prisons so much that they didn't fear it for once! "

Luisa placed her hand on his shoulders and uttered, "Calm down. A royal shouldn't lose his temper. Tell me what is going on? Did they steal again? "

He shook his head, heaved a sigh and went to the guards and put his hand on the nape of his neck pressing it hard.

" What did you do? " He asked, clicking his tongue, but the guard was still shaking intensely.

" What did you do? " His voice echoed so that it made me flinch.

The guard started to talk. " I said something bad about our Luna!"

" What did you say? "

" I said she doesn't look happy that if she doesn't want our Alpha, she should come to me! " He said in between his cries.

Luisa's expression didn't change the whole time, rolled her eyes and turned to face me.

What? Why isn't she so easy to distract? Just as I thought, she repeated her command.

" Let's continue Luna! He can say whatever he wants, but he can never get it! "

Elio averted his gaze at me, shook his head and screamed while holding the shirt of the guard,

" We should punish you for this sin! "

Luisa replied angrily, " Can't you see I'm in the middle of something? What do you care, the guard or the pack's future? "

I knew it was over for me. How will I summon my wolf? My mom knew I couldn't and i know she'd have distracted her from keening on that question.

" What is going on? " Matteo's voice echoed in the room.

He made his way to me and raised my chin. " Why did you get out of your room? " He said loud enough for everyone to hear.

I replied, feigning distraught, " I don't know . ."

His gaze fell upon Luisa as he said, "My Luna is not doing well and needs to sleep." She is extremely stressed.

Luisa, not backing down, replied, " She just needs to do as I say. She answered yes, so let her show me! "

" It takes a lot of strength to transform. I told you she was unwell. How can she? "

" Son, i just... fine, don't let her transform. I want to feel the presence of her wolf! " She screamed.

" That's enough! " He retaliated.

Luisa clenched the rails and yelled at the top of her voice, "I care about this pack's future and yours. I don't need a weak Luna from a weak pack "

Those words made a lasting impression on me. Regardless, her words were true. I am weak Luna claiming to be strong. I know nothing about werewolves! In fact, I never wanted to know about werewolves! I am weak because I chose to ignore my background.

Suddenly, he put his hands into mine and stormed out of the room.

We stopped outside a room, and he hurriedly removed his hands from mine.

" You never listen, do you? " He asked, pushing me to the door.

My eyes widened as I answered the question. " I never heard you say those words. Even if I hear, I'm not a slave. You don't control me, and neither does your mom. I'm going to find my way out of here! "

I didn't give him a chance to talk and continued," Elio will get me out of here because I am getting crazy. I haven't spent up to two days, and this family is driving me crazy. We are getting out of here, eventually. Just wait and see! "

He chuckled softly and gave me a smirk. " I didn't kill him because of you. You can't stand against me because I know you can't summon your wolf. If you had a connection with your wolf, you would have joined the fight! "

I gulped down my throat and avoided his gaze. How did he know? Did Elio tell him?

He looked at me one more time and said coldly, " Go to your room, or I'll make you. I can be soft, but you do not want to see my bad side! "

*****

I was on my to our room while dawning on the things he uttered. I am weak Luna; Those words echoed in my ear.

Was I any different from my sister? It's because of her that I became like this. She promised we'd live in Seattle forever and live a typical human life. She's there. Why was I brought here to suffer?

I entered the room, and suddenly I was pushed to the floor, falling flat on my chest. I winced in pain and thought I had slipped.

I slowly stood up and turned around to see someone staring at me. I was right; I was pushed!

The person went

on saying, " I know your secrets! "

Oh shit!
