CHAPTER 54

CHAPTER FIFTY FOUR
NADIA POV
Dammit! I really hated the midday sun. It almost felt like it was burning right through me, making my mood even sour than it already was. It was one thing to live with the constant nightmare of your family and best friend being ripped apart but it was a whole another hell to actually find out that the father of the guy you were possibly beginning to like more than just how he made your body ache with want, was actually behind that cruel massacre. If I ever laid my eyes on his face, I would be sure to make him suffer to the point where he begged for death. What made it even worse was how I suddenly loathed the werewolves with an insatiable hate.

“Are you sure about this?” Sasha finally broke the silence in the car, voicing her worry,” I mean, she is obviously so lethal. Don’t you think this is a little rash?”

I focused on the road,” I wouldn’t call it rash. Trisha is our friend and these people are nothing but murderers. Who knows what they could do to her,”

“Look, I get that since we came to this town, you haven’t had a minute of normal and that you are actually so damn mad at Collins but don’t you-“

“Sasha, I made my decision. Nothing you say is ever going to make me change my mind. I wish you were in my shoes because then you’ll understand just how dangerous the werewolves can be. They kill people, Sasha,” I paused, meeting her gaze briefly,” You grew up in the city where the weirdest thing you’d encountered is probably just the clowns. Here, its people who can shift into wolves, hybrids that drink blood straight from a human’s vein and that’s just what I know so far. God knows what else is existing in this town. You know what? I want nothing happening to you and so when we come back, you need to go back here to New York and-“

“Are you kidding me? Even though this town has turned everyday of my life into a freakshow, I’m not going anywhere. You and Trina are the only family I’ve got. I’d rather die here in your presence than go back to New York with nobody by my side,” she countered, no trace of amusement or fear in her eyes. How the hell could she be so confident despite knowing she was in a much greater disadvantage because she knew nothing about counterattacking or running like her life depended on it? Sasha was the kind of friend that would probably die first in a horror movie just because her heels were too pretty for her to take them off and she can’t run in them because she is afraid of breaking her leg.

Maybe I was a being a tad bit irrationally about my decision to take Trina but I’d rather have my friend kill me than let those bastards anywhere near her anymore. As the car stopped at the coffee shop, I forced a deep breath out of my lips before stepping out with Sasha on my heels.

“So if we are going to that werewolf place, what are we doing in a coffee shop in the middle of a freaking day when the sun is literally burning our skulls?” She questioned as we stopped at the counter where Mrs. Heather was frowning at the old computer in front of her. A smile broke on her face upon seeing us, any trace of irritation gone from her face.

“The day is not going great, huh?” I questioned, my hands leaning on the edge of the counter.

The smile slipped away, her frustration now in the open,” The sales are extremely down today. I’m sorry I missed your birthday party last night,”

“Don’t be. It was a disaster,” I paused, throwing a hesitant look around but there were like three other people in the coffee shop, looking like they were just dragging through the day,” I remember,”

“What?” she gave me blank stare.

I leaned forward, whispering cautiously,” A part of my memory came back to me yesterday. Drake surprised me with these fireworks and they-“

“Drake? The Hybrid Drake?” She gripped my hand, staring at me deep in the eyes,” Please do not tell me you are getting acquainted with that blood hungry creature, Nadia. I thought you knew better than that,”

I snatched my hand away,” Of course I’m not letting myself get acquainted with him unless I get all my memories back and figure out who he really is. Look, I don’t care if him and I met before or I’m supposed to be his mate. At the end of the day, I know my life is complicated enough to get involved with some half-vampire, half-werewolf man. I can’t even trust any man at this point and to think I almost gave a chance to Collins,” I mentally snarled at that but instead chose to shove the bitterness down my throat. I was setting myself far away from Collins because at this point of my life, I was rather irrational and I could probably hurt him. Wait, why did I acre if I hurt him?

Just because he knows how to make me want him, didn’t mean I cared for him because it was one thing to find out that your entire family and friend were murdered by a werewolf but it was an entire hell finding out the one behind it was the family of the man who made you want to take off your panties at just one lazy glance from him.

“Come on,” she ushered for us to follow her in her office.

“Did you know Carson White was the man who murdered my family and my friend?” I questioned. It sucked that I could not exactly remember every detail of my friendship with Harry because I bet he was a really nice person.

A guilty look stretched over her eyes,” Its why I never wanted you to associate with that Collins boy. His father was nothing short of a ruthless man and he made sure that almost no hunter or their family member lived. You know, the hunters were the ones who made sure the humans were safe. If any werewolf, vampire, witch or were-dragon were ever to cross a line with a mortal, they would see to it that justice was served. Its very sad that Carson White went rogue on them like that when it was one of his own that made the first attack and killed one of the hunters,” she shook her head.

“Wait, you are that short story you told me about a wolf killing a hunter being the reason for the massacre of the hunters was actually fueled by this Carson White? He had a chance to stop it and instead he just murdered innocent people?” The man plastered on business magazines and invite on talk shows not only killed my family but actually was the reason the entire massacre of innocent people started? This man he’d better run because him along with his werewolves were going to perish in my wrath.

*I wanted all of them dead even if this meant dancing to the devil’s beat.*

“I’m afraid that is the truth, Nadia and I know how you must be feeling right now but you can’t act irrationally. Wolves are trained from the youngest age possible and so they are not going to be an easy piece of the cake. You’d need allies and all your memories,” she placed her palms on my shoulders, meeting my gaze,” You are different and whatever it is about you that scared Carson White, then it’s definitely locked inside,”

My brain flashed back to the memory from yesterday night as a shudder raced through me.

*“I’m telling you that I can take them out. They wouldn’t even dare set foot in my house, knowing damn well that I’m a huntress,” Mum said.

*A huntress? What was going on and who was she planning to take out?

“And we have the ultimate weapon that could destroy them. If they find out what Nadia can do, they won’t stop until she is dead. They tried to kill her before and if it were not for Drake, we’d have lost Nadia along with Adrian. We lost one child and I’m not going to lose another to those dog-like creatures with no heart,” Dad had retorted.*

A weapon? How and why was I a weapon? What was it I could do that scared them like that? Last I checked, I was perfectly normal with a normal life and nothing to add to it but then again taking into account the events of the past few days, I wouldn’t be surprised if there was more to me than just this normalcy I exuded.

“If I were to involve a witch in retrieving the rest of my memories, would there be any side effects?” I questioned. One could never be too careful.

“I wouldn’t know but I do have a coven in mind that could be trusted,” she paused,” If what your mother told me was actually right, this particular coven is the one that had been trusted by the witch leaders with the secret of your abilities. They could help you unlock it and figure out it extend,”

I took a deep breath,” Then contact them,”
