Chapter 99: Strange

They glanced at each other and chuckled, as they felt amused by it. Leia bit into the cotton candy in her hand, and a low breath escaped her nose.

This was so delightful for her. For once in her life, she is having a peaceful day outside, with no worries that something bad might occur. Just the fresh breeze blowing on her and fluttering her hair. 

She turned her head to look at Adrik and wrapped her arm around his waist. Then she gazed into the pond, watching the fish swimming about.

From a distance away, a woman stood with her hands balled into fists. The wind blew vigorously on her fiery red hair, causing it to flutter about.

Her red lips trembled as though she was resisting herself from breaking into tears. Her eyes fluttered as her lashes became wet, and she immediately turned around, averting her gaze from the couple watching the pond.

Could she really never get the chance to be with Adrik? Will he never love her, just like she does? Is he really going to choose that bitch over her? Her heart tightened within her and she was startled when she felt someone's presence behind her. 

She immediately turned around only to see a young man who had white hair that stopped at shoulder length staring at her with a smirk on his lips. Her face darkened and she rolled her eyes at him. "What do you want, Ileus?"

"Selena..." Ileus chuckled and tsked as he shook his head. "Do you love him so much that you're allowing those precious tears to fall from your pretty eyes?" He said this as he moved around her, using his pinky to wipe off the drop of tears on the edge of her eyes.

"Leave me alone!" She slapped his hand away and proceeded to walk away, but Ileus grabbed her by the arm and turned her around, so she could gaze at the couple from a distance away. "Look at them! See the happiness in their eyes and smiles! Do you think you have a chance? " He whispered into her ears, and Selena's body trembled. 

Her balled fist tightened and her lashes quivered violently as she stared at the couple. Her eyes slowly changed from their gray color to violet, and her nails unexpectedly elongated, piercing into her palm and causing drops of blood to drip from her palm.

Her breathing became heavy, and knowing that her wolf was about to let loose, she immediately turned around and proceeded to run, pushing Ileus, who was beside her, away.

She fled at a fast speed, exciting the area and running away to somewhere unknown.

Ileus' lips curled into a vicious grin as he stood staring at her disappearing back. "Well, that was too easy." He chuckled, and a dangerous glint flickered in his eyes.

He turned around and glanced at the couple, but his body instantly shuddered when his eyes were unexpectedly met with an emerald one.

He darted his gaze around and awkwardly turned around, fleeing from the park in the blink of an eye.

Adrik, who had his arm wrapped around Leia's waist, gazed intently at the spot where Ileus stood, and he turned his head to glance at Leia. "Little wife, wait here for a moment. I will be back in a minute." Without waiting for Leia's response, he immediately sprinted off, disappearing.

Leia's eyes blinked in confusion, and she gazed in the direction in which he went.

Her brow creased in bewilderment, and she shrugged, returning her stare to the pond.

She bent down and peered at the fish that were swimming about. She gazed at them for a while, and when she proceeded to stand up, she suddenly noticed the water changing to a different color.

She shook her head and rubbed her eyes to make sure she wasn't imagining things.

Her eyes narrowed into a thin line, and she intently peered into the water, trying to understand what she was seeing.

The water began to move in a circle, turning into a vortex. Leia's eyes twitched in pain, and she felt lightheaded. Images of creatures that she couldn't quite understand began to emerge within the whirlpool, and her body abruptly shuddered.

As if hypnotized, she embarked to move forward, stretching out her hand to place it in the water. Without knowing it, her pitch-black eyes unexpectedly began to change from the black color to that of blue.

The minute her hand touched the water, she felt something grab her wrist harshly and proceed to pull her into the vortex. A loud yell escaped her mouth as she suddenly snapped back to herself and realized she was about to fall into the water.

A pair of hands immediately grabbed her by the waist and forcefully pulled her back, causing her to fall to the floor. 

She hurriedly sat up on the ground and hastily began to crawl back, creating a distance from the pond.

She breathed heavily and raised her eyes to glimpse the person that yanked her back, and her stares fell on Adrik, who stood motionless with his eyes gazing into the unknown.

"A-adrik." She called his name, but he didn't answer. Rather, his hands, which were on either side of his body, clenched into fists.

"Adrik." Leia precipitously stood up from the ground and rushed to him. She stood in front of him and cupped his cheeks with her hands. "Adrik, is something wrong?" She asked with worry apparent in her tone, and Adrik's eyes fluttered as though snapping back to reality.

He gazed down at her and immediately began to examine her. "Are you okay? What happened to you there? " He asked, and Leia parted her lips to say something, but her body trembled violently and she started to look around.

The people at the park and those beside them were just going about their business. It was as though they didn't notice whatever happened to her. Her yell, Adrik pulling her back and she crawling backward in fear, None of them noticed that.

She slightly shook her head and turned to stare at Adrik. "It's impossible. There is no way they didn't see any of that." Her eyes flickered and she gazed at Adrik with disbelief evident on her face.

Adrik parted his lips to say something but shut his mouth as though having a change of mind. He abruptly grabbed her wrist, then turned around and commenced walking back to the car while dragging her along with him. 

"Adrik, what is going on?" She asked as she found Adrik's behavior strange, but just like before, he answered not and continued to haul her along with him.

He pulled the car door open and had her step in, shutting the door afterward, then he walked over and took his seat in the driver's chair.

Leia watched as he started the car engine and sped off into the road at a high speed.

He reached out his hand and grabbed her hand, holding onto it, and making her more confused. He increased the speed of the car as he drove, resulting in them arriving at the mansion in thirty minutes instead of an hour.

Leia stepped down from the car at the same time he did, and he grabbed her wrist, dragging her along with him as he sauntered into the mansion.

The elevator took them to the second floor, and he stepped out, with her behind him, when the door opened.

They made their way to their room, and Adrik shut the door the minute they stepped in.
