I Am The Luna

Chapter 0529

I nod, thinking I hope you liked it too. But I'm just not able to say those words out loud. "It was my pleasure. I wanted to visit her."

She gives me a small smile and nods before she turns and leads the way into the pack house. I'm two steps behind, but she doesn't look back. Once inside, she takes the steps two at a time and disappears from view. I don't know what to think. Do 1 give her a little time to process it?

I think that might be best...

I sit up, my wolf stirring restlessly, and look at the clock. It's late. Adriana had completely shut me out. I couldn't mind- link her, nor did she show up for dinner, which I had with Zade and Valerie. I knocked on her door and asked if I could come in or speak to her, but she simply ignored me.

1 now glance around. Why had I awakened? It had taken me hours just to fall asleep.

Adriana. Is she alright?

Just the thought makes me worried.

I swiftly get out of bed and leave my bedroom when I hear her voice, and she sounds agitated. It's her and - Zade. I'm about to go check what's going on, but hesitate when I hear her voice rising.

Why are they even arguing at this time of night?

Feeling as if it might have to do with me, I mask my presence, my eyes glimmering as I walk towards the sound before stopping and honing in on what is being said.

"the time. I won't keep saying it." That's Zade's voice, and he sounds pissed.

"Like I said to you before, I don't need you to tell me what to do and what not to do. I'm leaving." Adriana's words hit me, and I swallow hard.

She's trying to run from what happened-from us.

"Cus maybe it fucking annoys me that you just run from anything good. Look, I don't know what the fuck happened out there, but he got you to talk. He makes you happy, doesn't he?"

Zade speaking well of me, that's not something you'll see often.

"Don't you think I know that? But nothing good lasts... one way or another and-"

"This is about what happened back then, isn't it?" I can barely make out those words of Zade's. He's speaking much quieter.

"Don't try to get into my head," Adriana snarls lowly. She's angry, but at the same time, she's trying to keep her voice down.

"I'm not, but they are nothing alike. Maybe try to trust the Goddess one last fucking time. Stop running, Adriana, you are only hurting yourself."

"Don't try to get into my head."

"I'm not. But I'm your fucking alpha and I'm commanding you to stay. If you walk - you're out of this pack for good."

I frown slightly, hearing Adriana curse before I hear footsteps and quietly step back into my room as she heads to her room. I sigh softly, not knowing what to think

She runs away from her problems rather than solving them, but there's an underlying issue there, which I knew. But what it is? That I don't know, and I have two options: ask Zade or get it out of Adriana. The first option might sound easier, but I don't think he'd tell me. The second option is harder, but I do believe that is the way to go.

Once I know what her issue stems from, I will be able to better understand and hopefully even help her. If only she'd let me in. Scratch that- when she lets me in.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
