Chapter 6 - The cold Embrace of Home

Adrian rode the new horse he just got from someone on his way back home.

He had compelled a Mayor and taken his horse.

Adrian looked at the palace before him.

The warmth and comfort he had felt these past few days seemed to vanish into thin air.

He reminisces about her sweet voice.

" Adrian please ".

If things were up to him, he would never have left her side, but he had to find the person who tried to kill and make them pay.

He looked at the huge palace gate before him, and is demeanor changed immediately.

All the smiles and warmth was now replaced with a steel cold expression.

The palace gates opened and Adrian rode in.

He could hear the gasps and whispers, even from meters away.

And it was normal for people to talk.

Because the rumors had it that he was dead.

***

Adrian go down from his horse and let the cold air hit him.

The Morvayne Palace is one biggest palace in the land.

The ancient building stood tall among smaller sections that were med for the workers.

The building alone was screaming power.

The cold air he has been enveloped in since forever, at least until he met her.

Again his mind wandered back to her.

Adrian's thoughts were interrupted by someone's presence.

Damien was walking out of the hall entrance when he saw something almost unbelievable.

Adrian?

Damien blinked the shock in his gray eye obvious.

Adrian smirked at his reaction.

"Hello brother ".

Damien was brought back to reality by Adrian's voice.

You're.....you are.....

" Alive, hale and healthy ".

Adrian scoffed.

Come on brother, you didn't really think I would die just like now, did you?

His expression turned cold and intimidating.

" I'm back, and I'm back to make someone pay!"

Adrian walked past Damien brushing his shoulders harshly.

Damien clenched his jaw nervously.

Adrian walked through the familiar halls.

The golden light's.

The blood velvet windows.

Adrian saw someone and stopped dead in his tracks.

Lucian looked at his son and nodded.

Adrian gritted his teeth.

He barely just made it out of death, and the only thing his father did was nod his head.

Adrian was used to this now, but every time it hurts like the first time.

During dinner that day.

Running down the hall was exquisite and well polished table.

Which was too much for two people.

Adrian never ate with them.

And no one really cared about it, so it didn't matter.

However, halfway across the nation.

Kylie stood at the window in her Shead.

She unconsciously places her fingers on her lips.

Remembering the way he kissed her this morning before leaving.

He stayed here for just four days, and it felt like I've known him since forever.

She remembered his last words.

" I'll be back little Wolf ".

She smiled sweetly.

I sincerely hope he keeps his promise and comes back.

But for now, I have to return to my people.

My pack must be looking for me.

She walked out of the Shead still smiling.

Kylie returned to the den, and she loved the sight that welcomed her.

Skyler training with Ethan.

Skyler saw me and ran to her with arms wide open.

I caught her immediately.

She squealed rubbing her face on my neck.

Oh, I missed you big sister!

I pulled out and looked in her eyes.

I missed you too little girl.

She blinked.

"It's my birthday next week, so don't call me a little girl".

She said feigning a frown.

I laughed ok little lady whatever you need.

She still clung onto me, not allowing other pack members to come greet me.

And honestly, I understand why Skyler is like that.

She is my only blood relative.

And just like me her parents died when she was very young.

I looked at the brunette on the other side of the field, and all I could see was my Aunt Kathy.

Skyler is the complete replicate of my mom's younger sister Katherine.

The same smile, the same jet black hair.

Skyler also has the same calm expression which I sometimes envy.

Kylie's thoughts were rudely interrupted by voice of Skyler.

" Sister, come help me please Ethan is beating me".

Skyler chuckled and went to her rescue, and in one swift move she cornered Ethan, and he landed on the floor harshly.

Skyler squeaked happily.

Things has always been like this.

Skyler is not as strong as me, or rather she is the weakest werewolf in the pack.

That's because Aunt Kathy fell in love with a human.

She was asked to marry an alpha to gain more power.

But she didn't, she decided to marry the human she fell in love with.

So now Skyler is not a full werewolf.

She is both human and werewolf.

***

After a long day in the den, Kylie returned to her chambers.

Everything was just was she left it.

She red curtains, red carpet.

The silent command of power.

One maid came and told her that the bath was ready.

She walked into the bathroom.

She pulled off her dress and walked into the steam.

But something was off.

The maids.

They were looking at me in a strange way.

It wasn't normal.

Some of their cheeks were burning red.

I was about to ask, when I noticed the scars on my body.

Adrian didn't go easy on me, he left hickeys all over my body.

Purple bite marks trailed from my neck, to my chest, my stomach.

Almost every part of my body was covered in hickeys.

I didn't say anything until I was done bathing.

After wrapping the surrounding towel I said without turning back.

" No one can know about this ".

I didn't need to say much because they are wolves and they know my position in the pack.

In actual sense, I wasn't really the Luna of the pack.

I am the Alpha.

I wasn't mated to Tristan yet, even though we were betrothed.

We have to mate, before he can become the alpha.

But I don't see that happening anymore.

Because Tristan is a power hungry maniac.

And I want to be with someone else.

Thinking of Adrian made my cheeks burn.

It wasn't up to a day, but I just want to be in his arms again.

I want him to hold me thigh, and do.....

Kylie's thoughts were interrupted by Skyler barging into her room.

She glared fiercely into her eyes and growled.

"What did you do"?

Kylie got up from the bed and closed the door.
