Chapter 143 - The Ritual- I
Adeline kept on staring at the ground where the woman once was staring but now laid dead. Within moments they had killed her, they had ripped apart her head from her body and she could see all the muscles in her neck which was bleeding.
"Hmm," he gave out a tired sigh as if the killing had drained him out of his all energy. A servant came with the napkin in her hands and he wiped his clean.
Adelene watched every movement taken by anyone apart from her with alerted ise. She was literally behaving like a small mouse making herself invisible and small so that no one would notice her. They all seem to be in the role world as they watched the dead body and then their leader.
"Well, this was tiring, he sighed and then looked at the dead body, " also useless. I do not understand why she would take a self to be so important and meet Adeline when I specifically told everyone to leave the girl alone."
What? Noah had given orders for anyone not to come around her? But why question mark handle and knew that by the time the next day would probably arrived she would be long dead so why would he refrain people for coming up to her?
"Being cocky for making history apparantly," a man added and made the others laugh. "Should we continue with the rituals, sir? The witch is ready."
Noah casted a glance at Adeline who\'s heart beat spiked up immediately. " How long is it left for the blood moon to arise?"
The man glanced up. "An hour or at most two."
" Hm, the spells need less." He rgiined towards her, " She lives for now."
For now? Her heart thudded loudly and she was on the verge of fainting.
Nova was giving her a fool to his mind as if he was an innocent child who is not aware of the mischief he was causing. Was it all it was to him? Did he think that all of what he was causing which was a sadistic ritual going to take away her life and probably her babies as well was just mischief, a small prank played on everyone?
"Adeline come on a walk with me." She heard him say and her wide do eyes filled with unshed tears stare at him in reluctance. She did not want to go anywhere with him. For all she knew she\'d never return.
"Oh come on," he tsked, "do you really think I want to kill you? I will n you not to be killed in Jog fall stop you meant was something far more important and meaningful."
Ah, yes. She had forgotten about that.
"It\'s just a small walk," he provided with his toothy- fangy, smile. "Small work might leave you for the tensions you feel. After all those are not going to be good for your baby."
"You want to kill that very baby." She could not keep control on her mouth and bulleted out the words his talk it was the very baby that he was ready to kill after a few hours that he was now showing care for.
"Meh," he shrugged, "You comin Those men would have no problem in trying you behind me. Must I tell you that not very gentle."
Her feet immediately moved behind him who are already started to work. There was a good distance in between them for almost 10 steps away. It was the right distance at least she would know if he would . . . Well she would not know. He literally have the ability to zip past her.
They continued to walk through the forest in silence. The only sound that came was from the leaves and probably small twigs being crushed under their shoes. She was sure that they all could hear her heart beating. The silence was only making her fear that even more because it was just in delaying the inevitable.
She decided to do something about it.
"Noah," she started out wearily, "do you really have to give me? Bringing back someone from the dead is a very—"
"Difficult? Exhausting? Impossible? Trust me I have tried it all and no work and karva what kind of process it is. Because if it\'s a feeling of achievement the feeling of failure also comes with it." He interrupted her with the facts of knowledge he had. "But I only want my mate and that is it. And when I get my mate back I would also be rewriting history on how to bring someone back from the dead."
She wanted to pull her hair out of irritation at that. What was it with everyone trying to rewrite history question history was history and it was history because it has already happened in the past rewriting it would not change history it\'s already there!
She gulped slightly and still tried to make a point across. " How is it to revive someone you loved it is OK to kill someone loved by someone else?"
He barked out a laugh at that and she jumped over the voice. He looked behind her for a few seconds and then turned around continued to walk forward. " If you are talking about Xavier then trust me you do not want to return to him. He has changed too much for your liking."
" What?" She frowned. " What do you mean?"
He chuckled. "When a beast is made the king of them all, it often gets to the head. The beast Aqua power not only from himself or his family but from the entire shapeshifting Kingdom which means that they were now is far more powerful and which is why I think I\'m practically doing you a favor by killing you."
Well how nice you of, she scoffed. "He cannot change that much as how you talking about. At the core he is the same."
" At the core he is the beast that you want scared of and he now he is the king of them all that killed your father." He turned around then they reached a small but, " never forget the they are the very reason that you now and open. Let\'s get you ready for the ritual."
