She arrived at Harrison's mansion and made her way to his study room. She didn't expect to find Rowan but she promised Elaine not to avoid him. Not like she was afraid of him but she thought was wrong.
Rowan lowered his eyes to Radella's foot. His brows knitted
"What's wrong with your leg?"
Radella watched her ankle and casually replied "I fell" She turned to Harrison "I am going to cure you"
Harrison obediently remained still on the chair fighting his boiling anger toward her. After seconds of Radella's few words, his eyes turned to normal.
He lifted them and watched her with a dark gaze. "Since when you had magic?"
"Don't forget who you are to ask me such questions" Saying that she turned to leave
Rowan walked to her and then lifted her in his arms.
"What are you doing?" frustrated Radella asked
Rowan said nothing and walked with her outside.
Radella wanted to make a fussy
"I am not going to bite you" Rowan teased
He brought her to another room then put her leg on his lap. Radella removed
"I can take care of it" she told him
"You weren't this arrogant can you stay still"
He slowly started straightening her leg, spinning gently.
"What should I do to bring you by my side" he said as he kept aiding her
Radella pulled her leg when Rowan wanted to resist, she warned "Let go!"
"I won't" Then he stared into her eyes
Radella sighed "Do you know the more you try to fix it the more you destroy"
The words stub Rowan harder.
"Do you hate me?" Softly he asked
Radella could see the pain in his eyes. She turned to the other side "This... annoying"
She put her leg on the floor surprised didn't feel any pain. She rose and walked to the exit.
'Radella, can you stop being harsh to him? He is hurting. Beside I waited for a moment he will accept us for long time, I don't want to ruin it'
Radella scoffed in her heart then rolled her eyes in disbelief. 'Cant you endure till we find Nala? You only see what he feels what about me?"
'You don't like him. Not like he can affect you in any way'
'Not affecting me?' Radella asked cause she remembered clearly how she felt when he kissed her and here someone telling her he couldn't affect her.
While later she returned to Neleva's mansion and remained outside under the tree digging a hole. After she finished she took a jar and buried it.
"This will be a good farewell" said Radella "I have never been this generous in my entire life. making wine for demons"
'But you never told me your reasons to visit half moon pack'
After she finished what she was doing she sat and watched the sky where were many stars.
'What if you found am not a witch ... rather a werewolf' Radella asked
'You wish to be a werewolf now. That isn't like you. Something bothering you but you don't want to tell me, and I thought we were getting along'
'At first, I thought you could read my mind. Now I think about it, indeed you can't do anything'
'Hey. Don't anger me'
She got up and made her way inside
'They haven't returned yet I guess are not going to' she thought as she watched the dark room obvious no one was inside.
She lit the candles and then sat in her room reading the spell book. She wanted to master them soon as possible.
She read and then practiced and as time went by she learned many of them.
The morning came and after she woke up she prepared all necessities she will need during her journey. Then she remembered the demon knife which she thought the best of all.
She made her way to Dylan's room and started searching for the knife. He didn't find it so she sighed with disappointment.
She sensed the presence of someone approaching the room then her eyes turned to the slowly opening door to find him at the doorway
"I... thought you wouldn't be coming for three days... maybe" closing the drawer
He frowned a little "Do you enjoy sleeping here that much?"
"Don't misunderstand I came this morning searching for..." she glanced at his frown expression "I will be going then"
She walked a few steps and stopped "There is a little gift only after you dig under the front tree. Wait for a week to do that" Saying that she walked outside leaving confused Dylan.
She met with Dylan's men who kept smiling at her recently.
'Only if ... all were like them. The war Rebecca talked about had no chance to happen' she thought
Dylan came from his room and tossed something to her. She grabbed it to find the dagger she was looking for.
"Than... thank.. thank you" struggled to say words she never said before "Dylan, am curious. Don't you hate werewolves?"
"Do you like us?" he returned a question
Then Radella asked herself if she hated them. She did before she came here, her father always went away to fight demons and she thought were creatures who shouldn't exit among them but now
'I think I don't hate you' inwardly she said "What you wanted to be the payment for spending the night here?"
"personal maid"
'Thanks goddess am leaving' "I see," giving a fake smile then she turned walking away.
When she reached somewhere outside, unexpectedly warriors came to surround her. Still surprised with what happened, one of them announced
"This is a witch who pretended to be our Luna. Arrest her!"
Warriors approached her with burning eyes as if she was the natural enemy.
"Don't make a step toward me" she warned with her glint eyes and for some reason they halted " What do you mean a witch pretended to be Luna"
"Don't feign you don't know" a familiar voice heard
When she watched forward she saw Viola, Harrison, and Anthony, and behind followed Lysha.
"You said for yourself you weren't her. Not only you acted strange but you have witch's magic, if you are truly Nala can you explain it?" asked Viola
"You don't deserve my explanation"
"If she was her wouldn't dare talk back as you did. You don't think I believe was because you grown up do you" mockingly she said
"Arrest this imposter" Anthony ordered as if she caused him harm before.
Suddenly two werewolves jumped to stand in front of her.
'Adrian and Andrew' Elaine told her
Two wolves growled with a warning.
"Taking her side means betraying us. Can you be responsible for that?" Harrison seriously asked
'If they find you are a witch there is no way are going to spare us. They will lock us in a room which no magic work as we wait for execution'
Radella watched her situation with clenched fists. She was enraged that they are blocking her to find her family. She watched Adrian and Andrew who were going to be traitors because of her.
If she was to escape with her powers wouldn't that bring trouble to Nala?
For now, she didn't want that so she let them arrest her.
