Helanie:
"Azura is her daughter. I can’t believe this," Norman hissed, running his hands through his hair as he paced the kitchen.
After she told us she was Azura’s mother, it all started to make sense. We rushed into the kitchen to talk while my friends and the others stayed in the living room to keep an eye on her.
"So all those things she made my mother do, the evil shit, it was so X-codex could ruin the peace of the werewolf community and discard the strongest members. They got rid of Helanie’s father. Then they tried to get rid of Helanie. And then with our curses–she never intended for us to survive. She only cared about Emmet, the one her daughter could have babies with, the ones who would rule X-codex next. Otherwise, it would crumble like a cookie," Norman explained, grunting angrily.
Now I understood why she had to come here and expose herself. Because her daughter was here. Their last hope was here.
"And she even tried with Zu and Za," Kaye said, shaking his head in disbelief. "She tried to get them with Norman."
"What are we going to do now?" I asked.
It was all getting crazier, but I blamed Lady Darcy for it. She had let this curse enter werewolf land because of her greed. And look what she had done.
"Wait a minute. Azura is in there, right?" Kaye asked. And I began to nod.
"What if she convinces him she’s his mate and they do it? Emmet doesn’t remember anything. And it could get lonely in there," Kaye expressed his fear, and my heart pounded anxiously.
"But Maximus is also there," Norman argued.
"And do you really think Maximus will be able to convince Emmet that Azura is evil? There’s no magic there. And a girl’s tears can melt anyone’s heart," Kaye muttered, slapping his forehead.
"Then I should go in there. Please. I need to be there to make Emmet listen to me," I insisted, rubbing my palms anxiously while staring at Norman, who was answering a call from the hospital.
I instantly covered my face with my hands. Kaye rushed over and hugged me. He knew I was dreading any news from the hospital.
"Okay, you stay with her. We’ll take care of everything here," Norman said, ending the call and looking at me. "It’s okay, Helanie. She’s doing much better. The dagger didn’t hit her vital organs, thankfully."
Norman gave me good news. But there was still so much to unpack and work on.
Once I heard about my mother, I broke free from Kaye’s hug and rushed out of the kitchen to slap the gray woman.
She started to chuckle as soon as I moved.
"Don’t fucking laugh in my face," I snarled. "I could fucking kill you and not care. Tell me, why shouldn’t I kill you right now?" I grunted as my fingers closed around her neck.
