We were far away from the King’s house now.
With every step that I took, my heart drumd within in fear and curiosity of what was about to happen.
Adam had never said a word since we had left the holding cell. He had just been humming to himself so tune that I can’t seem to place no matter how hard I tried to rack my brain for it in the bid to curb the boredom that was assailing .
Next to books, music was the next favourite. You could say that as much as I was a book fanatic, I was also in love with music. It was among the stuff that had aided during the bullying days.
Now, all that seed so far away. This part of the King’s arena made it so. I have never seen or been to such a cold place, devoid of life in the pack.
It was as if no living thing existed here. Even though there were so trees, they were very dry and dead, with no leaves on them.
What was this place?
The old Adam would have loved to explain this? But did I ever know the old Adam? Was there even an old and a new? What if all these had been a pretense?
No, it can’t be. I had literally been in his mind. I had seen his emotions and fears. No way could he be this mood swingy.
Sothing must have happened to him.
Had he been poisoned? Had he being given sothing to forget , or hate ?
Too far away from the normal areas in our werewolf territory, but I was ready to reach out to anything, anything at all that would explain the fact that Adam was this cold person right in front of . I decided to try again.
"Adam, how long do we have to walk till we get to our destination?’’ I queried, biting my lips, taking a sharp breath dramatically when he turned and stared at , more like glared at .
"Did you just call by my na, slave? Did you hit your head sowhere? It’s prince Adam, not Adam. Are we clear?" He questioned, sneering at like a high school bitch would.
It had cocking my head to the side, staring at him aghast. Surely, this is not Adam.
This must be an imposter, who had taken the face of Adam to make scorned.
What had I been thinking following him here? I should turn around and flee. I thought, seeing that he turned his face away from to the driest vegetation I have ever seen, a look of unrest appearing and disappearing from his face for a second before he swivelled around and continue walking.
Why was he at unease? Surely that must be sothing. But then, I decided not to follow him again.
Without much ado, I turned around and began to tiptoe back to the road we ca through, hoping that once he, whomsoever he is, had realized that I was not walking with him, I would be back at the holding cell.
Probably I was too stupid to believe that Adam was a saint, but then, even when he was a bully, he would never sneer like a woman, like Claire.
Yes, that’s exactly what it had looked like. Like he had just taken the form of Claire.
Even when Adam was a bully, when I was his playtoy, he would never even glare at that way, no, I hadn’t even being worth his glare.
But this, was new. This wasn’t Adam.
I quickened my steps, holding my breath as my eyes hit the holding cells building.
I was running now, relieved that I was going back to a cell, a sharp contrast
to my feelings when I had been brought away from it by Adam.
But then, it was better to stay in the cell and wait for the real Adam, than follow this imposter to wherever it is that he was taking to.
In my muttering and thinking state, I wasn’t aware when I bumped into a rock, or rather a person with a body as hard as a rock.
Quickly, I looked up, sighing in relief when I saw Noah staring down at .
Though it was dark, I could still make out his features, just not his eyes.
Ignoring the bland emotions on his face, I began to speak away.
"Soone..ca to the cell and took away. Soone that looked like Adam. I think he is an imposter." I said in a rush, forgetting that Noah had also been at the holding cell when the imposter had taken away.
"You think I am an imposter? The audacity of this idiot." I heard a cold voice from behind , causing to shrink if possible into my shell.
The owner of the voice, Adam, I would have to call him that, since Noah wasn’t saying anything to refute his claim, stated agrily, dragging by the arm the next minute, so sharply that his fingers drew blood on my skin.
I was shocked. No. If there was a deeper word than that. I would be that.
No matter the extent of bullying, Adam had never laid his hand on , not to ntion draw blood.
It was dark, yet I could make out the fact that the sight of my blood made him...happy.
That’s weird.
I turned to Noah to explain my situation, only to see the third triplet, Daniel, standing right beside him.
Okay, this couldn’t be so imposter.
The three brothers were here now, glaring at like I had stolen so gold from them. This was real. I was in real dipshit.
What could make the three brothers hate this way?
I was stuck right in their middle, with no way to escape, no way to outrun them. The least I could do was to find out what I had done to warrant such evil treatnt form then, especially Adam.
Was the prefix, my, necessary any longer? I don’t think so. He was no longer mine. I am sure now that he never was.
I wouldn’t say it had been nice while it had lasted because it tastes so much bitter now that I have forgotten the joy that ca from being with him.
Now, I wish I hadn’t know him.
