NovelEndChapter 64 THE WRONG SIDE VALERIA I fell asleep a little longer.
However, even though the King toldto rest all day, Im not the type to spend so many hours in bed.
I walked to the bathroom to wash up, feeling the ache in my sore muscles from all the physical activity.
My thighs were sensitive, and my intimate parts well, even more so.
Yet, I found myself smiling foolishly in front of the mirror blushing and satisfied as I traced my fingers over the scars on my face and my swollen lips.
I wasnt sure if it was just my imagination, but they seemed less marked, less ugly.
It had to be his delicious blood, the one I couldnt get enough of.
I felt sexy, and desired, noticing how the marks of his hands were already fading from my skin.
That lycan madefeel alive, like the most beautiful woman in the world.
I got dressed and decided to visit little Edward and head down to find Celine, the Guardian Quinns sister.
The whole note incident wasnt very smart, so even if we dont get along, I have no choice but to trust her if I want to share what I found.
PAF! I heard the sound of a slap and something falling to the floor just as I was about to knock on the childs door Through the crack, hateful words from his mother escaped into the hallway.
Dont pretend all of a sudden ! What are you trying to pull ? Isnt it enough playing with our sanity every day? What do you want, for the King to execute us all, you damn brat? Mama, dont hit... uuuwww ... why dont you love me? Why do you only care about my brother? Im your little boy, mama, Im Edward ... aahh ... Edwards sobs mixed with the Lunas hateful words.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI clenched my fists in rage and knocked forcefully, interrupting the exchange inside .
She immediately opened the door and looked startled when she sawI can imagine the furious expression I mustve had.
I cto ask for permission to take little Edward for a walk.
Will his caring mother allow me? I asked, trying not to let sarcasm drip from my voice.
After all, it was a family matter, and I was still an outsider.
прo whatever you want, she replied with a frown, then passed me, leaning closer to whisper in a low voice, almost a hiss: Be ca careful, Miss.
Nothing here is what it seems.
Your kindness could lead you to a tragic end.
I stared at her, not fully understanding, but she continued down the hall.
Turning back, I approached the bed where Edward lay crying, a red handprint visible on his face.
No matter how you look at it, what shes doing is wrong.
64 THE WRONG SIDE Con, little one, dont cry anymore.
Were going out to play, okay? He clung to my neck, sobbing and tellinghow his mother was cruel and didnt love him.
My heart ached, but there was nothing I could do.
Tomorrow, III leave, and this child will be left to his fate.
I calmed him down and helped him get dressed so we could go down to the garden.
I was worried about not finding Celine maybe she was stil with her brother.
Though Aldric had toldhe would personally investigate the Altar with Quinn.
I really hoped he had cleaned up last nights mess Id die of embarrassment if the Guardian found those sticky traces on the stone.
Celine, I need to tell you something, I dared to reach out mentally when I felt her not far, exercising in the woods.
I only did this because Aldric was distant and couldnt intercept our messages.
Me? she responded, confused.
Yes.
Its hard to contact Guardian Quinn when hes so close to the King.
And no, its not something personal between us.
I think you already know I can read the Altar, added quickly to avoid misunderstandings, I explained what I had found the coordinates and how everything else seemed to be a decoy, all while pushing Edwards wheelchair toward the park.
No wonder Quinn was so frustrated.
I know where those coordinates lead Ive searched this forest thoroughly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt points to an old abandoned greenhouse, she explained, givinga solid lead.
I thought my part was done, that the rest would be up to her or so believed until Edwards m I next words changed everything I dont want to go to the park today, Miss Valeria. Can we go to my secret place? I have treasures I want to show you ! Of course, sweetheart.
Where is it? I knelt beside him, smiling.
Its over there, in an old greenhouse, he said, turning his head and looking straight at me.
That strange sensation of danger and darkness swept overagain the moment touched his hand and gazed into his eyes. Be careful, Miss.
Nothing here is what it seems.
Your kindness could lead you to a tragic end.
His mothers words echoed in my mind.
I wondered if I had misjudged everything all this tand blamed the wrong side.
Of course, my love.
Well go wherever you want, I replied with a forced smile as ile as I stood upland began pushing his wheelchair Celine, Im heading to the greenhouse. Followsilently I think I might need your help.
