Chapter 489
ZADE.
"Well, the president called an emergency meeting," Sebastian says to me. I'm outside Ada's room in Atticus's house, a place I wish I wasn't. But the wedding was taking place and here I am, in smart pants again.
Adriana is inside visiting Ada and I know after the wedding she wants to move her, something Valerie told me a tad fucking loud, which was obviously so her brother heard.
I told her not to interfere, but it was obvious she wasn't going to make this easy for him.
"Oh, yeah?" I reply, glancing at Sebastian who is obviously waiting for a reply.
"Yeah, you got any idea about this?"
"Do I?" I ask.
Sebastian frowns and I push away from the wall. "Let's see what he has to say. Either way, I'll handle it. Now, don't you have a wedding to get ready for?"
"I'm ready." He frowns, glancing down at the suit he's wearing. I cock a brow.
"Sorry, you look the same as ever," I smirk as Valerie and Zala come up the stairs.
"Where's Adriana?" Valerie asks.
"Inside," I say, glancing at Zaia. I'm not sure if Valerie's told her, but one thing I know about these two is they tend to share a lot.
"What are you thinking?" Zaia asks curiously.
"Not much... just wondering if women know how to keep secrets or not,"
Valerie raises an eyebrow and I turn my attention to her. She's looking fucking fine in a shimmering lilac dress that's pushing up her tits, she's not wearing a bra and with every step she takes, they tempt me even more.
'I see you're distracted again,' Valerie's amused voice comes into my head.
"With a body like that, can you blame me?" I ask, looking into her blue eyes as I take her hand the moment she's within reach and pull her close.
"Well, as much as I want to play, I need to go check on Ada," she says softly, her small smile vanishing.
I frown slightly. She had already been in a long discussion with the doctors earlier on before I had left to pay the president a visit. I nod as she pulls away.
'Is she going to be ok?' I ask.
'I can't say... but it isn't looking good,' she replies hesitantly.
I don't say anything further as she slips into the room.
"Well, the presidents on in ten. I don't think Shelby's ready yet, so shall we go see what this is about?" Sebastian suggests.
I nod slowly, "Sure." I lead the way downstairs, worried for Adriana. If Ada dies... how will she cope? The sisters were all each other had.
Entering the lounge I stop, seeing Atticus already standing in front of the television, arms crossed.
Asshole.
I stand against the back wall as Zaia sits down on the sofa and Sebastian stands there, mirroring Atticus's pose as they wait for the president's message.
The moment that will tip the man's scale between life and death... because if he refuses to do as I say... I will follow up on the promise I made him.
The president soon comes on and you wouldn't think he's just been threatened. He nods and gives a polite smile and begins.This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
I lean against the wall, hands in my pockets, observing him intently...
"As everyone knows, our country has faced a difficult time. On the 10th of this month, something that never should have happened took place..."
So far, he's following the script pretty much.
"... A group of terrorists who were targeting werewolves, who, like us, are just people wanting to live in peace. I want to thank the military for doing the right thing when the need arose."

He swallows and I tilt my head. It's subtle, but for someone who was involved he will be creating enemies out of the very people he worked with, but that's how scum works.
