She Belongs To The Devil

"What was that?" Adeline looked towards the door that would lead out of the garden.

Theodore also shifted his glance towards the door and replied, "Er… we forgot about the dragons and wyverns. I think it's Mimi." He walked towards the door while saying, "She must have felt that something was wrong with Azriel."

Adeline felt a pang in her heart upon hearing that. She didn't have the courage to face Mimi at the moment. However, she felt the need to apologize to her. So Adeline also followed Theodore.

As the two of them walked down the dark corridor, they kept on hearing the growl from Mimi.

Some of Theodore's followers were running outside already to keep Mimi from breaking the walls of the cave and forcefully entering inside. Unlike the Dragon Crypt, Theodore's cave wasn't built for those huge beasts.

"Master, are you alright?" the Chimera asked Theodore when he saw his master running towards the entrance of the cave along with Adeline.

Theodore nodded his head and reassuringly said, "I'm alright, Kira. What's the situation outside?"

"It's Mimi. I think she knows that Master Azriel is here." Kira also ran alongside Theodore and said, "She keeps on insisting to come inside."

Theodore looked to his side to see Adeline's aura. She was clearly emitting the aura very similar to Azriel's and he muttered, "Or maybe she is sensing Adeline's aura. And I bet she knows something is different."

He abruptly stopped on his track and stopped Adeline as well. "Adeline, I think you shouldn't come outside. Mimi might mistakenly assume that you did something to Azriel if she sees you right now."

Adeline furrowed her brows and lowered her head.

"Um…" Theodore saw his wife feeling guilty again so he said to her in a soft voice, "I will talk with Mimi and then when it's alright, I will call you outside."

Adeline forced a smile and nodded.

Theodore instantly teleported outside while Kira ran outside to see Mimi.

Adeline sat down in the common room and waited for Theodore. And while she waited there, she saw a few curious eyes staring at her.

They all could see that Adeline was not a human anymore, and neither was she a changeling. Those who hadn't believed that Adeline had changed into an immortal now finally believed it when they saw Adeline's immensely powerful aura with their own eyes.

Adeline gave a warm smile to them and they bowed to her with equal respect as Theodore, not that they respected her any less when she was a human or a changeling.

Izel, the ghoul who had attacked Adeline years ago, also came and stood in one corner of the common room. He always used to hide whenever he would smell Adeline's inviting smell. But now, he was able to stand in the same room as her because she didn't smell appetizing anymore.

Adeline noticed that Izel was constantly looking her way as though he wanted to say something to her. At first, she ignored him because she still felt chills in her bones as he had given nightmares to her in the past.

But Theodore was taking a little too long. And the air in the room was filled with an awkward vibe for others because of the two of them.

So Adeline finally broke her silence and asked Izel, "Is there anything that you would like to say to me, Izel?"

Izel smiled showing his sharp fangs and came forward. He then knelt in front of Adeline and said, "Your Majesty, I had wanted to personally apologize to you for attacking you on that day. But I could never do so because I was afraid I would lose my control the moment I would get close to you."

"But now it looks like I finally can." Izel looked into Adeline's eyes and apologized, "I am really sorry for almost killing you that day."

Adeline gave a sad smile to Izel and said, "And I am sorry that you had been carrying that guilt for years."

Theodore appeared in the common room and saw that Adeline and Izel were having a conversation. He then gestured to Adeline that she could come outside.

"I have to go now." Adeline got up from the seat and said to the Ghoul before leaving, "I will see you around."

When Adeline went outside the cave's entrance, she saw Mimi sitting there with a sad look on her face.

As soon as Adeline stepped out, Mimi excitedly looked at her only to be sad again.

"Does she know that Azriel is alright?" she asked Theodore before taking another step.

"She does," Theodore gave a nod to her.

Adeline then went close to Mimi. She held out her hand and gently touched Mimi's leg.

Mimi shuddered at the touch from Adeline and then looked at her.

"Mimi, I didn't mean for all this to happen." Adeline heaved a sigh and apologized properly, "But for what it's worth, I really am sorry. And I promise that I will do what I can to assist Azriel to get back to his previous shape."

Mimi nodded her head to gesture that she understood what Adeline said.

Adeline talked with Mimi for some more time. She was mostly apologizing to Mimi the whole time.

And when the sun was close to reaching the horizon in the distance, Adeline said to Mimi, "I need to go for now. You should also go back to the crypt and let the others know that your master will be okay."

Mimi nodded her head. And before she flew off to her home, she gently rubbed her head against Adeline's as if to say that she didn't hold any grudges against Adeline.

Theodore and Adeline watched Mimi flying higher than the clouds and disappearing from their sight.

Theodore took a sigh of relief that nothing wrong happened. To be precise, he was thankful that Mimi didn't attack Adeline.

He then spoke in a little concerned voice, "Well, I hope she goes straight back home rather than wander around. She is going to scare people if they see her."

Adeline pursed her lips and nodded.

Then she glanced at Theodore and said, "I will head to Aberdeen then. They must be dying to know what happened in the main battle."

"Okay. I will wait for you here." Theodore gently caressed Adeline's cheeks and lovingly gazed at his wife.

Adeline took a deep breath in and then closed her eyes. She then pictured Nigel in her mind and thought of meeting him.

A tingling and buzzing sensation ran all over her body. She let that sensation take over her completely. And when that sensation was gone, she opened her eyes and found herself on an unfamiliar path.

There was only one person walking a little ahead of her. A soft smile appeared on her lips upon seeing the familiar shoulders, the same shoulders which carried her, which lend her support.

Nigel abruptly stopped on his path when he sensed someone behind him. And he turned around to see his sister.

"Adeline?" He asked. Something was totally different about her, even her eyes. But from the loving look on her face, he could tell that she was his sister and no one else.

Adeline saw the confused expression on Nigel's face changing into a happy and relieved one.

"Brother. Oh, I am so glad to see you," she ran towards her brother and did a little hop before hugging her brother.

"Oh, thank goodness. You're okay." Nigel closed his eyes and tightly hugged his sister. He had been worried sick about Adeline and all the others. And seeing Adeline unhurt and with a smile on her face brought solace to his burning heart.

He then pulled away from the hug. He couldn't wait for his sister to hear the great news. So he excitedly said to his sister before asking or hearing anything else, "Adeline, I'm coming home. We all are."

"You're coming to Wyverndale?" Adeline held her brother's hands tightly and raised her brows expectantly. And she asked with equal excitement, "Along with mother, Rhea, and the kids?"

Adeline's face was already beaming and her heart was pounding with joy.

"Yes, them and Fenris and…" Nigel grinned and added, "…around five hundred werewolves and some of their families."

Adeline wrinkled her brows and asked, "Five hundred werewolves?" Then her confused expression suddenly changed to that of a surprised one. And she probed again, "Don't tell me you have been promoted to…"

"An alpha." Nigel gave a wide grin again and said happily, "I am an alpha now. Sounds weird, right?"

"What? No!" Adeline was gazing at her brother with wide eyes when she happily squealed, "That's such a wonderful title to hear. Alpha. It suits you perfectly."

Adeline giggled and hugged her brother again and said, "I cannot explain how happy I am for you, brother. You were born to do great things. And now you will be leading a pack of werewolves. And you already have 500 werewolves in your pack! How amazing is that?"

"It wouldn't be a problem if the werewolves came there, would it?" Nigel asked in a little serious tone.

"Do you even have to ask that? Of course not! I'm so happy we will be together again." Adeline looked at her brother and gave him a wide smile. Her face had a new shine to it.

And she showed her childish excitement to her brother, "We can go on a run together. We can train early in the morning like we used to. I can play with the twins any time I want! Oh, it will be heaven on Earth to have all of you there in Wyverndale."

Nigel's eyes were filled with tears upon seeing that excitement from his sister. For him, Wyverndale was Wyverndale because of Adeline.

And if he was honest, he was a little afraid to hear Adeline's answer when he said that around 500 werewolves along with some of their families would be relocating to Wyverndale.

But when she wholeheartedly accepted them all, Nigel was over the moon.

He gave a tearful smile to his sister and said, "I can't wait to come home."

"And I can't wait to welcome you back," Adeline's eyes also watered.

Adeline then wondered if her wish to be happy had already started to take effect. Because she was hearing one good news after another. She was going to have a daughter in the near future. She was having her brother back. She couldn't wait for everything to be sorted out soon.

She was eager for that beautiful future that she had been dreaming about to arrive soon.
