Chapter 23
“Let’s go back home to my pack,” Silas said.
“Yes.” Cielle nodded. “Let’s go back.” She wanted to stay with him. This time, she wanted to be selfish and prioritize herself above anything else.
But, when they were about to enter the car, alpha Adrian caught up to them. He wanted for Cielle to comeback with him and met with her mother.
“Your mother is very worry, she wanted to spend the night with you, can you please come back to our hotel? Your mother has not yet apologized properly to you.”
Silas didn’t think that was a good idea, but if Cielle wanted it, he wouldn’t object that. More so, alpha Adrian showed him how he was remorseful for what he had done. In the end, he was on his side and helped them to get rid of Kenan from Cielle.
“Can I?” Cielle asked Silas. She wanted to go back with Silas, but she didn’t want to dismiss her parents too. She was rather upset with them because they didn’t believe her, but then it was her father who had brought her here, more so, his apology sounded very genuine and he looked very remorseful.
“If you wanted it.” Silas caressed her cheek.
And with that, alpha Adrian could take Cielle back to his hotel room and met with Maia, but Silas warned him to return her to him tomorrow, he would fetch her up later at noon.
“Okay.” Alpha Adrian agreed with him readily.
Silas insisted that he would drive Cielle to their hotel room, so he could spend a little bit more time with her tonight and they agreed that way.
After that, Silas took her to the lobby, from there, alpha Adrian would take care of her until Silas fetched her again
tomorrow.
“Ca
ne if something happened,” Silas said sternly.
“Absolutely.” Alpha Adrian nodded in agreement and then he took Cielle away.
Usually, alpha Adrian would be very defensive and his temper would be flared if Silas was trying to act tough with him. He demanded the utmost respect from Silas, because he was the one, who had raised him and give a roof over his head and food to his stomach.
But right now, he was humble enough not to mention any of those.
He simply walked away with Cielle.
“We will stay here,” Silas said, he felt a little bit off. More so, he wanted to be close to Cielle. Not to mention that alpha Adrian didn’t bring any healer with him, thus if something happened, he would need Celine to check on Cielle.
“Yes, alpha.” Rollin, one of the warriors immediately booked four rooms for them.
Cielle didn’t remember what happened last night, for a while, her head was very dizzy, but as her consciousness gradually came, she remembered what had occurred.
Her mother was crying, a lot of apologies, the meeting, Kenan and then… Cielle was too tired and fell asleep.

However, when she opened her eyes, she was not inside the hotel room. She looked around for a while and only then it registered to her mind that she was already inside a plane.
“Mother….?” Cielle asked her mother, who was sitting next to her. “Where am I?” She looked around again, hoping to see Silas among these unfamiliar faces, but she couldn’t find him.
“Don’t worry, my baby, we are going back home.”
“Where is Silas?” Cielle asked, her heart gripped with anxiety because she couldn’t see him. “Where is he, mother?” She frowned.
Maia had this trouble look on her face when she answered Cielle’s question. “Don’t worry, he will catch up in the next flight.”
“What do you mean?” Cielle narrowed her eyes. “He is not here with us?”
Maia shook her head. “Don’t worry. He will catch up.”
Cielle didn’t believe this, especially after they apologized to her sincerely last night, but they were doing this to her now.
“Where are we going? Are you going to drop me off in Bl**dy Moon pack?”
Maia tried to maintain her smile, but her calm façade slipped. She could see the disappointment in Cielle’s eyes and she didn’t think she could see her in the eyes right now.
“We will go back to our pack, sweetheart,” she said in small voice.
Thankfully, Cielle was not in the right condition, she was too weak to fight her mother, she was too weak to scream at her and be angry with her.
“How could you do this to me, mother?” Tears streamed down her face, not because she was sad, but because she was angry. “Do you even know that by doing this, you have hurt me?”
“I am sorry, Cielle. I am sorry, but I will make it up to you. I will take care of you. We will find the cure for you.”
Ciell
h**k her head, she looked at her mother in disbelief. “You are the same… you are no different from Kenan.”
This hurt Maia’s heart so much, she started to cry, but Cielle was unfazed to see her mother was crying like this, until her father came to their seat and see what happened.
“Cielle, please understand…”
“I am going to die, father, what else should I understand? You don’t even grant me this one wish and word, what kind of alpha you are…?”

back on your own
Alpha Adrian gritted his teeth when he heard what Cielle said, but he couldn’t raise his voice, neither he could reprimand her.
“You will understand why we did this to you. You are going home with us, Cielle. Silas could come and visit, but you be with your mother and father, don’t you think?” Alpha Adrian tried to persuade her, while comforting Maia. “Don’t you want to be with us?”
should
Cielle bit her lip and what she said next made Maia cried even harder.
“No. I don’t want to be with you.”
