Chapter 28
Dylan Pov
I watched as Julie checked Aderyn and made me out of the room for changing her clothes. My wolf was pacing around panicking. He wanted to see Aderyn awake.
"What is wrong with her?” I asked getting restless to Julie.
She heaved a sigh and pursed her lips.
“I have given her the injection and changed her to something comfortable. She should be fine now” she told me but she looked unsure of what she was speaking.
"What's with your behavior?” I asked sternly.
“We are werewolves, Alpha. We can heal really fast when we are hurt compared to a human. Aderyn is Human. Her wounds will heal with time but not her soul” she told me and her statement made me attentive.
"What do you mean by soul?” I asked confused.
“Il also don't know Alpha. As a doctor I tried my best and it's already five hours since I have given her the medicines. She should've already responded to it but I don't understand why she is not responding” she spoke with her professional tone.
“I don't understand” I muttered as I went past her and entered the room where Aderyn was still not awake. She was now wearing a loose grey shirt with loose pants. She looked pale but she was breathing heavily.
“Aderyn wake up” I said as I took hold of her hand and gave it a squeeze. Her skin was cold. So, I covered her using the duvet and sat next to her on the bed feeling guilty.
“I am sorry Aderyn. It was all my fault” I spoke regretfully as I touched her face trailing my fingers on her eyebrow.
"Please wake up” I even begged.
“Sometimes brain do not listen to our commands” I heard someone speak and I turned around to find Estelle near the door.
“Estelle!” I spoke turning to face her still on the bed
"Our brain has the capability to shut us down when we are in pain. It has the capability to lock us in our past moments making us shut down from the world” She spoke as she came near me.
"What do you mean?” I asked confused.
She looked at Aderyn and walked near her. She closed her eyes and changed something moving her lips. When she opened her eyes, her eyes were now glowing and she placed her hand on Aderyn’s forehead closing her eyes again. She stood like that for some minutes and I began to grow restless. She jerked away her hand from Aderyn and opened her eyes. Her eyes came back to her normal form but what got my attention was her teary eyes.
The scene changed and I found Aderyn on a hospital bed crying silently. She has a plastered hand and bandages everywhere. She was crying and I felt immense pain inside my chest seeing her in pain. She got up from the bed and walked out of the room. I was following her. She took a Cab after some minutes of waiting and reached her home which was now a debris.
I saw her kneeling down and crying. I couldn“t do anything but to watch her. I saw a man coming from her behind and he took hold of Aderyn and made her smell chloroform and took her somewhere.
I was confused now. What is this all going on in Aderyn’s life?
The scene changed where I found myself in an office. Aderyn was being hold by someone while she screamed “You all are terrorists” at the man. I got to know everything.
Then I watched as Aderyn was whipped which explains the marks in her back. She was kept without food for some days and that man whose name was Derek, blackmailed her and at finally gave up.
I was feeling devastated now. I was feeling her pain. Whenever she cried my heart ached.
The scene began to change and I saw a grown up Aderyn. She was tall and looked cold. She didn't smile anymore. I saw her killing people. It was her work. I saw her taking revenge. She destroyed Derek. She was planning everything from the beginning. I felt proud for her. She was so strong. She didn't let herself feel weak even after so much torture.
I saw her confronting Ryan. Ryan killed himself using the Gun which she left their.
Her family was destroying. She was alone now. What was destiny had with her? She even lost her sister. My heart ached seeing her holding her sister's dead body in her arms crying and pleading the doctors to do something. She did everything to do to save her sister. She worked hard, fought with strong even the bigger size of man to win money prize for her sister treatment.
I found my eyes getting watery. It's been a long time since I cried even get emotional. I can't believe that Aderyn went through so much. I always knew her smiling face was a facade but never did I imagine this to be that bad. Hell it's worst.
She was keeping so many secrets inside her. She was filled with darkness. She was my inspiration now. I was pushing her away from me all the time. If only I knew. My pain was nothing before her.
I was standing near a bridge now. I looked around panicked thinking what worst I was going to witness now.
There I saw a girl drinking alcohol from a bottle. She couldn't even stand straight. It was Aderyn. She was drunk and I could see her face masked with sadness. She was cursing loudly as she leaned against the railing. She threw the bottle to the water and made her way towards the edge where she stood on the railing supporting herself but failing miserably.
Oh no! She was planning to suicide. She cannot do that.
“Aderyn no!” I screamed but I knew she couldn't hear me yet I couldn't stop myself from talking to her.
"Aderyn you are not weak. You can't do this to yourself’ I screamed and as if she heard me she stopped moving. Her feet hanging on the edge of the bridge.
"You are not alone Aderyn. We all are there for you Aderyn. Please don't do this. This is not a right choice. I am there for you" I told her and my eyes widened realizing what I just said to her. Everything began to turn dark and I was suddenly pulled backwards. I heard Estelle again chanting something,
“Call her Alpha!” She told me and I did what she asked me to do.
"Aderyn!”
"Aderyn listen to me”
“You need to get out Aderyn”
"Aderyn follow my voice”
“Aderyn!” I began to call her and I was suddenly pulled out.
I huffed out air and I looked around frantically to find myself back in my the room. I removed my hand from Aderyn’s forehead and looked down her to see her breathing normally now. She was back but still sleeping.
“My work is done over here” I heard Estelle’s voice in thin air as she faded away bowing.
She was gone.
"King!" I heard Cole and turned around to see his eyes watery. Beside him, Bell was crying terribly not able to control herself.
“We all everything that you saw Alpha. Your mind link was open” Cole spoke and then I understood I forgot to close the mind link while talking to Cole. That means all of the People knew everything about Aderyn now.
Damn!
“Its okay we will not judge her King” Bell spoke between her sobs.
“She is still our Luna. Our Strong Luna. She deserves to be our Luna” Blake spoke as he looked sad. It was the first time he was not in his cheery self.
I saw Lily. She looked sad nevertheless she glanced at Aderyn for the last time and turned back going away somewhere.
I turned back to Aderyn and sat next to her.
“Forgive me Aderyn” I spoke and got up from the bed making my way out of her room.
