He ran his eyes on her frowned face and they widened a little to see how her hair increased turning white. She used to have brown hair but now seemed to be changing as days went by.
He knew was some kind of strong internal energy to cause the change but couldn't comprehend what could be.
"Second time" Radella mumbled

He raised his brow at her confused with her words. What second time?
"A second time you helped me from falling," she said as she recalled the day of the ceremony, she almost fell from the stairs but the man before her saved that.
"I will repay you, however from here I can take care of myself"
Saying that emotionless she turned to leave but immediately stopped because her eyes fell on a jar the man held. The smell of wine stuck her legs where she was.
He noticed her gaze but she ignored and went to sit. He opened and took a huge puff as if he hadn't seen her.
Staring at him she imagined the liquor touching her tongue, indeed she wanted to taste so badly.

'Staring won't help anything. Aren't you supposed to leave!' Elaine reminded her
"Don't try to manipulate me" Radella said shamelessly when she failed to hold her thirsty.
She thought about leaving but she turned and threw the knife at him. The dagger was the source of her contradictions with the man. Anyway, she would return home so there was no need to keep it.
"I knew you wouldn't believe me that's why I never told you are my mate" He flatly told her when she was about to walk away.

Her heart skipped and her steps halted. The mate thing was in werewolves and wasn't sure of the demon's perspective but to her, she wasn't. She fumed to the extent when a hint clicked her that this demon dared to play with her mind otherwise there wasn't a need to tell her all of that.
She turned with her wrinkled forehead.
"What? Do you think I was nice to you cause am nice?" He told her then he drank more
'When was the time he was nice to me?'
"But don't think too much not like I have any plans with you" Saying that he left the jar of unfinished wine and left.
Radella who never left someone talk to her like that went toward the wine. She felt her blood boil letting the man have a thought she needed him. Anyway, she will thing if she has to deal with him after she tested the flavor so she drank the liquor.
"Nice" she complemented and kept drinking
The next day Adrian brought her to the house courtyard and showed many arrows he made as she ordered.
She extended her hand and Adrian took one of the arrows and put on her palm. She wanted to test them so she put on a bowstring and pulled with all strength targeting a watermelon in front of her.
She didn't put much thought before she let go and an arrow landed perfectly. "Not bad"
Adrian was surprised to see her archery skills. "Let me escort you"
She turned to him not trying to believe he guessed right about her. She planned to leave and must be done today's night.
"You don't know where am going"
"I will follow you anywhere" Immediately he knelt with one leg and bowed "Let me protect you... Luna"
With that sincerest, she agreed but with the thought, when she arrived and turned everything as it was then he would be escorting Nala.
In the evening she went to visit Rebecca. She planned to leave so she had to remove all suspicions so she thought visiting Rebecca was much easier.
She glanced at the house for a moment.
'I don't understand what exactly you want from her' Elaine said disappointedly
'Afraid?'
'I should be afraid of you than her. Just for the thought of you doing all of this in someone else body...!'
She walked toward the door of the house which in the darkness seemed a little creepy. She tried Knocking but didn't get a response and the moment she thought about whether to use her magic to open the door slowly the door opened itself.
She was sure wasn't the one who did that but since even Rebecca had magic could be her. She made her steps inside in which only darkness could be seen.
The candle lit up and the door slammed closed which made her turn to look back so quickly only to find no one closed the door.
"You can have a seat!" Rebecca said as she took a cup and squeezed into Radella's side.
"It is a herb tea" She told her
Radella grabbed the cup giving a weird look. What kind of tea that black. She brought to her mouth and took a sip.
"Urghh! so bitter!" complained as her expression changed
"I have told you, it's a herb tea!"
Suddenly everything changed in the moment. Instead of the room, Radella found herself middle of the dark forest in front of her stood a strange woman with short black hair whose watery eyes fixed on her.
She glanced at the surroundings finding herself alone in the forest filled with long trees hiding the sky. She regretted coming to see such a crazy woman.
She didn't get to ask herself who was the woman
in front of her eyes she shifted into a black wolf a thing which left her eyes wide.
'Elaine!'
Elaine didn't respond as if she wasn't there from the beginning.
In a blink of an eye, she found herself on top of the wolf running at a high speed. Wasn't the first time Rebecca dragged her to such illusions but she didn't understand what had to do with a wolf.
The wolf kept running making her hold tight not to fall. "Stop!" tried to shout "I said stop!!"
Strange was the wolf didn't stop instead increased its speed. Suddenly she sensed someone running after them from behind.
She felt scared for no reason but the wolf only considered running straightforward.
The person chasing them jumped to stand in front of them shocking her with horror.
She opened her eyes only to find herself inside Rebecca's room and she slept on the floor. Her eyes deepened not understanding what exactly happened.
"What was that?!" She asked furrowing "The tea...!" pointing her finger to the cup and her eyes darkened with anger "You poisoned me!"
Rebecca walked toward her and gave a cup of water. She glanced at the water not taking the cup. Rebecca put the cup on the table
"That was an illusion. I wanted to see what you desire the most but I ended up bringing you to your past!"
She rose from the floor irritated "What if you wanted to see what I desired?"
"I know how to break your curse" Rebecca said "I can help you shift into a wolf. Do you still want to escape?"
Elaine was middle of convincing Radella to get out not until Rebecca mentioned those words about breaking the curse.
'What did she just say. She can break the curse?'
What surprised Radella was how this woman knew she tried to escape.
Later on, she left Rebecca's house and walked in slow steps as she processed everything about Rebecca. Her steps stopped when someone's presence blocked her way.
The person was Rowan but instantly her expression turned coldly annoyed for no reason.
"Nala... your eyes..." Rowan looking concerned was about to say something but...
"Don't! Say anything!" she seriously warned
She ignored Rowan's presence and walked away. Only if she could look at herself in the mirror. Her eyes were dark for a moment.
