Chapter Two Hundred and Fourteen

Axel had left after taking off my stitches.

“You are healing up really nice,” he commented with a smile.

“Thank you, and I already feel perfectly fine.”

It was late in the night; Axel had already informed me that Thane would be back a bit late. There had been another attack, and many still belleved the attacks were from this pack.

I rose, putting on a robe, and headed to the balcony, enjoying the fresh air.

My mother was the only family I had left. I wish could tell her about Nick; he wasn’t exactly a villain, but my mother had referred to him as the only ‘good thing life offered me,‘ and she was wrong; if she knew the truth about him, she wouldn’t think that. I wish I could open up and tell her everything; I wish I didn’t have to lie, but now more than ever she didn’t need to know the truth; she wanted to make a life for herself, and I was happy for her, but a part of me wasn’t ready for all these. I needed someone there to shout at me when I was making the wrong step, and she wanted to let me be, I didn’t want that. I needed a mother; I needed her, but with these so many secrets I kept away from her… It wasn’t going to be easy to revive the bond we once shared.

There was no other person close by, and I let my wings spring free, as I leaped into the chilled air of the night. I stopped a few distance from them, I hid my wings the moment I landed before slowly creeping closer to listen into their conversation.

“…You’ve done as I asked?” Bailey question.

“Yes, everything has been set…”
