Chapter 131
Dylan POV
“That's the last of the bags!” Adrian stated to Nick as they both helpedcarry a dozen trash bags down the
stairs and out front. The house was more empty than I'd ever seen it, except for furniture of course.
It was so much more difficult than | ever thought it would be, seeing all my moms things exactly where she left
them, thinking she would see and use everything again, Instead she was gone, and it was all my fault. If I'd have
just accepted his grace from the start then none of this would have happened, and my mom would still be here.
“Can we go now?” Id barely spoken all day, out of fear of breaking down screaming again, my tears flowed
constantly but | was able to bury my dejection down, and get on with my task numbly. | didn’t want to stick

| looked at the two boys who had helpedand allowed a slight frown to take over my face when neither of
them answered my question straight away. Instead Adrian turned and nodded his head at Nick who then placed
his hand on my shoulder drawing my attention to him.
“Adrian has said you can have 5 minutes... no one needs to know.” | could have 5 minutes doing what exactly? |
stared at my friend who nodded his head and allowed pure sympathy to cloud his features, his eyes quickly
darted to his old house and mine widened.
“No!” | shook my head and took a step away from Nick, only to have him close the gap | had just created
between us quickly. “I can’t... if the king found out...”
“He won't find out from us!” Adrian was quick to respond, my fear coursed throughbut I couldn't help but let
anticipation slightly replace it. “He needs you.”
The tears that had been released as a steady stream down my cheeks all throughout the day suddenly stopped
as | looked at the alpha to be. My mind quickly jumbled with a thousand different questions however the most
prominent one was, could | trust him?
Alpha Adrian, the son of the district packs alpha, the one who once stated that all humans were properly, the one
who used to stare atfor no reason in the schools corridors, nothing but distain and hatred on his face. The
one who stood up foron the odd occasion, one of the only wolves who knew when enough was enough, and
helped to enforce that despite his own circumstances. Could I trust this boy, who would soon hold the title of
leader in the district?
I didn’t think anything else, | simply nodded to myself, telling myself that | could trust him, telling myself that he
would never allow a 6 year old to be hurt. I'd convinced myself stupidly that Adrian was one of the kind ones,
and that he had the best interest of everyone in mind. | hoped that he too thought equality among species was

A few minutes went by before the front door opened slowly, and Richard, Nicks dad cinto my view, his
mouth quickly hung open at my appearance, and he didn’t speak a word when he moved to the side to allow me

completely cleaned up now, but still, it would hauntuntil the day | died myself. My sad, tired eyes met the
now empty floor space that was occupied by my mothers body, and my tears began to flow once again.
