Chapter thirty-five- With Snow

Snow Willson's Pov:

I was sitting some meters away from the truck. No one was outside. Maybe they were all asleep. I don't even know what was I doing here right now.

I laid myself down on the grass under me. I looked at the sky above me. It was full of stars. It was beautiful. So beautiful. Beautiful just like Adira Skylar. No, what am I thinking? I should shut down my thoughts. I closed my eyes. Adira's face came before me. I didn't open my eyes. No one would know if she stays in my subconscious. Let's keep her there for a little while. But my thoughts got interrupted by a sudden scream. I opened my eyes and sat up immediately. It came from the truck. I ran towards the truck. The light was on. I didn't go much near. The air here was so chilly. I felt shivers running down my spine. I flinched when something cold touched my back. It felt like a hand. I turned to see the owner but no one was there. It suddenly was colder. Ignoring, I moved more forward. It was a girl's scream. Was it Adira? Or her friend's? Did something happen?

After some time, Lancelot and Oscar came out from the truck. I hid behind a tree seeing them walk around the truck. Suddenly, Lancelot touched the window of the truck. He turned to Oscar. I couldn't hear what he talked about but I could feel he panicked. They both ran inside the truck and closed the door. I moved towards the truck to know what made him panic. Nearing towards the truck, I touched the window. It was frozen. I panicked too. He was here. Kristopher Davies was here. I wanted to go away from there thinking if they saw me but worrying about Adira, I hid behind the truck to see her.

"It was not Snow. He didn't even resemble Snow. What are you talking about? He was not Snow." Adira said crying. Why was she crying? And why are they talking about me? " What do you mean it's not Snow? Who else will walk around our vehicle at this time of the night scaring the hell out of you? Last time I checked, I don't have other enemies." Lancelot told her. " It was so not Snow. I know him. He won't walk around the car just to scare me!" She told Lancelot with tears in her eyes. I felt something in my heart. Why was she defending me? "What do you mean you know Snow? Why are you calling that bastard Snow? You don't even know him. You just saw him once. And that one time he scared you." Lancelot raised his voice at her. I clenched my jaw feeling angry.

"I know him. He talked with me every day. He came to me whenever I was alone. He would talk to me. And he was not scary at all. Yeah, one time he scared the hell out of me but he apologized for that. He is not the one who came today." Adira said wiping her tears. "You knew he was following us yet you didn't say anything to us. You were talking with him and you didn't even bother to say anything about it to me. You know he is the guy we are running away from. Yet, you talk with him? You defend him?" Lancelot yelled at her. That red wolf needs to stop yelling at her.

"The guy who showed up right now wasn't Snow. Believe me." Adira said softly.

"How can I believe you? How can I believe you when you have been doing nothing but being friends with him behind my back?" Lancelot shouted. I know I wasn't the good guy. I was the bad guy here.

"I am sorry for not telling you earlier. But I won't apologize for talking with him. He is not the bad guy here. You say it's all he's doing. But did you even ever see him doing all you told us? Did you ever saw him killing a person? Killing people in front of you?" She asked him with so much confidence. Why was so confident about me? She hated me but still why was she doing this?

Lancelot became silent. But after some time, he looked at her.

"Yes. I did. I saw him killing people!" Lancelot said.

"You are lying. Your eyes are lying. You never saw him killing people." She said looking at Lancelot.

"Why are you taking his side? Why are you defending him? Why are you being so confident about him?" Lancelot yelled angrily.

"He is my friend," she stated looking at his eyes. Friend? I was her friend? Did she consider me as her friend? Didn't she tell me she hated me?

"That's just not it. Is it? You are cheating on me. You cheater! You-" a slap stopped him saying further. Everyone was silent. I was shocked. How could he tell her this? That jerk! I will kill him!

"I just hope you would take back what you said right now," Adira said looking at Lancelot. Her eyes were so cold. She was hurt. He was jealous I could feel it.

"I don't want to take back the truth I said. You should admit the truth." He told her touching the place where she slapped him.

"Suits you best." She said looking at him. She suddenly took her phone and her bag and opened the door of the truck and started to walked away. What was she doing? Kristopher Davies was here. If she stays alone now, she will get killed. What a dumb kid! Sighing, I vanished from there and stood before she blocked her path. She looked up at me. I looked at her eyes. She was hurt. She was scared. I looked behind her. Oscar, Valentino, and Mathew were running towards her. They were shouting.

"Adira! Come back this instant! Who is that guy? Adira! It's not safe! Come back please baby!" Mathew yelled. I stared at their eyes. Somehow they started to run faster.

"Take me away from here please." She said looking down.

I don't know what happened to me but I hugged her without saying anything and vanished from there taking her with me.

Adira Skylar's Pov:

The sun was rising. I was currently sitting I don't know where with Snow. It was above the hills. There was not a single person around. But I didn't complain. Why would I complain? I was not scared of Snow Willson. I know he won't do anything to me. We didn't say anything. We both were silent. I was leaning against Snow's shoulder and crying. He didn't move me or complained. He sat there patting my back softly. His whole body was stiffening up. He was uncomfortable I could feel it. So, after some time I moved away from him and sat up straight.

"Why did you move away?"

I looked at Snow. He looked confused. Confusion on his face made him look cute. I wiped my eyes and smiled at him.

"You are uncomfortable. That's why."

"No, I wasn't comfortable. Not even a bit. Speak for yourself. You were uncomfortable." Snow said with a little pout.

"You are pouting. That's rare."

"I am not."

"You are still doing it."

"That's just how my lips work when I talk."

"That's not how your lips work when you talk. Your lips automatically go to smirk mode when you talk."

"I don't smirk."

"You can't lie."

"I can,"

"Your neck is turning red," I told him pointing at his neck. He mumbled something to himself.

"What?" I asked him.

"Nothing."

"You were mumbling something."

"I was not."

"Okay, not my business."

"Are you okay?"

"Mhm."

"Are you still scared?"

"Mhm."

"Are you hungry?"

"Mhm."

"Damn women, speak words."

I laughed hearing him. "Okay, I will speak words from now on." He sighed which made me laugh to myself.

"You screamed last night."

"Yes."

"Why?"

"Someone was there by the window."

"Did he do something?"

"He was walking around the car singing something like you will be gone. I couldn't see him so I approached the window to see him. And suddenly he screamed at me and started laughing. I was so scared. I am still scared. I instantly closed my eyes the second I saw him." I said quietly.

"It was Kristopher Davies." He stated. I looked at him.

"Who is Kristopher Davies?"

"The man behind everything. The man who is forcing me to do things." He said looking at me.

"Why is he forcing you? And why are you doing this?" I asked him confused.

"Otherwise, he will kill my parents. He will kill everyone in my family. My family is in his custody." He said. I could see the fear and pain in his eyes.

"Can't you bring them out? You are powerful as far as I know."

He chuckled at my question. "Don't you think I have tried? He is way too powerful. He killed everyone in his family, in his clan to stay as the most powerful. He killed so many. He even killed people in my clan. Even being the Alpha of the Shadow Clan, I couldn't do anything to save them. He has got no emotions, Adira. He will kill anyone who comes in his way. He is the devil himself." He told me.

"Snow?"

"Hm?"

"Is he the one who killed my parents?"

Snow was silent. I looked away from him. He knows everything. Why can't he tell me?

"Yes. He is the one. He is the one who killed your parents." Snow said making me look at him again.

"Why did he kill them?"

"The only thing in his mind is power. Nothing else."

"Can I kill that bastard?"

"If you can, do let me know." He said looking at me.

"You are going to help me."

"Huh?"

"You are going to help me on that."

"I tried it more than once."

"You were alone. Now, we are together."

"I can't risk my family's lives."

"He won't know. Trust me."

"He must be sitting behind us right now and laughing at your words."

I looked behind me. No one was there. I looked at Snow giving him a questioning look.

"He can stay invisible. I told you he is powerful not in word wise but in action-wise" he told me with a smile.

"What a creep!" I exclaimed.

"Yeah. He is a total creep." Snow told me chuckling.
