She was breathing heavily as she watched the entire scene unfold. The first thing that scared her the most was the realisation that a wolf had pushed itself against the car making it tumbled down the road and into the slight difference which was in the woods and that of the road. Then she was dragged out by a wolf who had jumped down his teeth on her leg and cold as hard as he could. After which km women who once Adil in thought would help but have only turned out to be one of the most dangerous enemies she could ever encounter. That woman was hell-bent on killing Adaline as she had repeatedly said.

All states were not enough because now a huge monster just like Ashlynn and Alexander looked like was standing in front of. This only made the fact more certain that she was not coming alive out of this.

​​

The Lycan did not face her as he did the wolves. He was superior to them because none of them growled back or even snarled but just ended up bowing their heads to him. Even though she was the human she could tell that the wolves were already submitted to the huge one who towered the 6 feet was very easy.

She did not even try to utter a sound and just made herself invisible to all of them.

He was probably going to kill her and this time she was not going to make the mistake of assuming that this wolf could be Xavier because for all she knew. . . She knew nothing. She was dying here, she chanted in her mind so that it did not come as a surprise. Well, it was not anymore.

Jon snow had nothing on her. She, truly, did not know anything.

The screeching sound of tires was heard but with the sight of that in front of Adaline did not dare to look away anywhere else. For all, she knew she would look away for a second and then there would be someone clawing at her throat and eating her heart out. She had to keep her eyes in front.

"Oh dear," she heard with a glance, as she could not exist anymore when she heard the familiar sound, it was Cassandra exiting out of the car along with her husband and analysing the whole scene played out in front of him. "Oh dear. . ." She said again as she cupped her mouth at the sight and probably at the smell too. The least of her concerns, for Adeline the only thing that mattered at the moment was that they were more people from the supernatural community piling and front of her and she was the only human left.

She wanted to scoff out loud.

Of course, the whole family was involved Adaline realised, probably the whole family was walking on four legs in an alternate universe. She could not believe it since it was in front of her and the pain in her leg and the wetness in between her legs made it sure to confirm that it was the reality that she was dealing with.

"Adeline," Cassandra stepped in her direction but Adeline crawled back. She wanted to do nothing with this family. The family that converted itself into you monstrous beast full of hair on their body and with teeth as sharp or even more than knives that could cut into her skin like a hot knife.

Everywhere was danger. She gulped.

Cassandra immediately stopped as soon as she saw Adeline crawl back. It was obvious with the red stain and the heavy scent in the air that it was Adeline who had pissed her pants out of fear.

Javier stepped next to his mate and even the biggest wolf now bowed his head a bit. She had never seen the elder Rivera so serious. For her, he was a jolly man who always laughed the loudest.

"What is happening?" He spoke in a cold voice and every word that left his mouth was a command and it affected her too. "Do you even have a fraction of Idea, a fourth of it, about what you were going to just do?!" He raised his voice slightly and everyone flinched back.

The woman glared back and pointed her finger at Adeline. "This girl, this human," she spat as if it was something crawled out of the gutter making Adeline jump and yelp, "killed my child who we assume to be dead 5 years ago!"

Xavier growled again, judging by the fact that the finger was raised towards his mate. The woman lowered it and took a step to the bigger wolf, closer to the one who had growled and dragged her out previously.

"I didn't!" Adeline whispered to them with a small, pitiful cry from her. "I didn't!"

The woman glared at her and yelled back, "She lies!"

Javier scoffed. "I do not care about what she did because her scent reveals that she spoke the truth to you when she said that she did not!" He growled at the end in frustration. "Has your sense of smell left you?! How can you not smell the emotions the girl emits?!"

The woman looked away as angry tears came to her eyes.

Cassandra cast Adeline a worried glance. She wanted to protect the girl as she was born to be her daughter and her mother instincts were taking over for the scared child.

None of them noticed the man hidden in the trees, watching it all.

The woman called herself down and then spoke respectfully towards Javier. "With all due respect, this girl's blood was found at the site of where we found my son torn apart!" She said as she cried by the end of it. "I never wish it upon anyone but you do not understand the heartbreak a parent goes through when they find their child to be alive but only to be torn apart by the time they reach there."

Cassandra nodded in understanding. "Luna Linda, I assure you that none of us would as a understand that of the pain you feel but we can all imagine and an inkling of it. This is why it becomes important for us to find out who truly killed the boy."

"The girl is fragile enough and with an injured foot that your boy bite, I can only imagine how the girl managed to tear him apart." Javier mocked. "The Alpha in you is questionable because you could not even understand that there was a greater force behind it all." He shook his head in Disappointment. "And not only that but—" he felt silenced.

Everyone did and Adeline just watched them like an idiot.

Xavier looked at her and she found herself staring into the eyes of the boy's that she loved. They had the same emotions that he did always when he looked at her and it took her back to the moments where they had fallen in love with each other. The moments of security, safety and love.

The wolves retreated and Javier's father immediately shifted making Adeline cry out at the suddenness of it all. Is transformation was the second transformation of a monstrous beast that she had seen.

The snapping of his bones and the first routing out of his skin was scary and it shook her to the very core.

Xavier was still staring at her as she glanced at him and it was obvious that he was not aware of his father shifting.

He longed at his son and tackled him to the ground where Cassandra did not even blink an eye at it. He wrestled his son and threw him into the jungle where the wolves held him down and soon the father joined in too.

What was happening? Why were they all holding him down all of a sudden?

"Child?" Adeline gasped and stumbled away, crawling away from the woman.

She did not even notice when Cassandra has jumped down from the road and came next to her.

"Honey, let me help." She cooed from where she was and did not move when inch. Cassandra knew that if she moved she would scare Adaline more and would risk getting more injured than she already was.

Adeline ferociously shook her head. She is not getting anything from anyone. They were all monsters!

Then she heard it and she understood why they all moved except Cassandra who was on human skin.

Police sirens along with ambulance could be heard and she knew that they were minutes away from reaching the site of the accident.

It was happening! He richest move duo and down in quick breathing as she realised that they would be saved! The police and ambulance were here!

"Papa!" She turned around and peered down into the upside-down car.

"Adeline. . . baby . ." She heard Cassandra but ignored her.

She leaned down more in excitement, "Pa. . ." She quietened down in realisation as what she saw in front of her finally clicked.

She was staring at the dead eyes of her father, the dead hollow eyes.
