---- He wasn't that closed off and stoic today.

Its like he was really struggling with something Not that I think it concerns me.

You..

You said you wanted to talk about something? I bite my lip to question, looking at him with a brow arched.

When he sighs to nod.

Ah yes.

Of course.

I just got the news that everything in the werewolf lands seemed to have settled down..

T may have been wrong.

My brother...

did turned out to be different than our father.

T guess I was just being over-cautious.

My eyes continue to widen in excitement.

Yes! So close.

This was the right direction.

You were right and I was wrong Sierra.

---- ee = Tt should feel good right.

He was admitting that Xavier wasn't that bad.

He was letting go of his revenge But that look in his eyes.

It wasn't settling well with me.

Tt looked like something broke inside him to have these words leave his lips.

Tt...

it wasnt your fault Adrian.

You were just trying to protect your people.

There is nothing wrong in that.

He nods, turning his back on me.

Right Sierra.

But sometimes, if you preserve something for too long, it may die.

And Iam not talking about just food here.

Anyways.

Coming to why I am here.

You are free Sierra.

You are free to return to the land of light.

To the land of werewolves.

I won't stop you.

---- This was it My mouth opens and closes.

I didn't know what to say.

I was finally getting free! I can return! Thave told him.

He will be waiting for you at the portal.

Xavier is coming to get me? Really!Oh moon goddess.

Thank you so much! Thank you! I was jumping like crazy.

Twirling around in happiness.

My smile...

it was brighter than it had ever been.

Not able to control it, I throw my arms around Adrian and hug him tightly.

Thank you Adrian...

really..

His entire body goes stiff.noveldrama

Like he has been paralysed.

And I suddenly realise what I am doing.

I pull back awkwardly to rub my neck.

---- eee = Umm sorry.

I was just super excited.

He barely nods.

Twill let you pack then.

He turns around to leave when J call after him.

Ad....

Adrian? Why don't you come with us? You will love the world out there.

What will you do here alone? His grip on the door tightens and he doesn't answer for a few seconds.

Tam so comfortable in darkness...

that I no longer wish for the light.

You don't have to think of worry about me little Rabbit...

Just keep smiling.

Little Rabbit After four months...

he has called me that again.

And it swells my heart.

Tremember his answer to that man earlier and I somehow knew for the first time that he was lying.
