11. Confession

"How long do you know about us?"

"What did they send you to do to us?"

"Do you hear me? Or I need to pluck out your teeth for you to know how serious I am?"

Reuven continued to ask even when he had got no responses from Adeline. Her silence continued to annoy him also and he did not hesitate before he gave a jab unto her jaws.

This caused her to start to breathe heavily. For a fact she knew she could not tell them she was only on a journey to find a witch who will cure her portion of the general curse of her kind. But she was more concerned about what the knowledge of her intention could cause.

If she said anything maybe she might be let go or she might be followed or they might as well be aware of the witch before her and thus kill her in order not to find it.

"You see. I will tell you a story, girl.." Reuven said as he moved closer to Adeline and caressed her hair forth and back yet slowly.

When he opened his mouth, it was so that there were spices of spit shooting to her face but even she had not bothered as that was only a levity concern at the moment.

In her mind, she wished she would with maximum strength rise to her feet against all odds and grow her claws only to fight against them for her freedom. But that was only a wish, her hands were tied to her back and she was made to kneel.

No matter how she struggled and roared in terror, Reuven and the rest of his packs had not blinked for the slightest nervousness. They stood firm before her except for Reuven who stooped down as he rested on his knee and he had not stopped to rub his fingers in her hair and also downwards to her neck and gently on her lips.

He said, " This story was the story of your kind who believed he had the power against us. It was only a matter of time when the bloody sped so fast that he could not be seen. At least, he thought he could not be seen."

"It only took less than a sec when that one over there grabbed him and smashed his back on the floor. He then only gave him a bite before he started to crumble." Reuven said further as he pointed to one of the Werewolves.

In that sense, Adeline could not have been able to tell if the story was indeed fabricated but she knew at that moment that the one, the alpha, pointed to was the reason she was crushed by fear as she saw him changed into a full wolf waiting only for the order before he would attack.

"When he will bite you as a reason for my command. Do you know what will happen to you as it happened to the one before you?" Reuven asked softly as he furthered his talk.

"First, the bite will cause you to hallucinate and go rabid as if you were a wide animal. But of course, you are. Just like us." He chuckled for a bit as the others with him before he continued talking.

"Then this will cause you to lash out your body as you will go into survival mode. But where will you go? You have been held captive!" This he shouted and more spits spewed all over Adeline's face.

Even if you were not, perhaps you will drink more of those rats' blood in the hope that it will heal you." They laughed again but this time, Reuven had become angry at Adeline because she also spits in his face.

In his anger, he grabbed Adeline by her neck with firmness and lifted her as if she was just nylon.

"Maybe, I just have to kill you myself," He said as he began to tighten his hand more unto her neck. This began to choke Adeline: restricting her airflow from breathing.

At the same time, he had begun to transform into a half-wolf. By this, the lower part of his body remained human but his upper part was of the wolf as he opened his teeth and shot forward his head to bite her.

"Wait!" Adeline shouted as immediately as he would have bitten her.

This gave Reuven a pause. He wanted to hear what the girl had to say.

"My name is Adeline and I am an original. Your bite cannot affect me." Adeline confessed.

When she said that, Reuven threw her still on the floor and looked back among his pack.

"You are who they called the weakly?" Reuven asked, appearing to know more about her than she thought he would.

But then that did not matter because, at this moment, he furrowed his eyebrow and snug before her and lifted her again.

At the time he threw her away, he shifted back to his proper human form. But now, he had again become a wolf in his upper body.

"Maybe no one will have to miss you when you die. Maybe it is high time we will find out if this will affect you or not." He barked

"Wait!" Adeline shouted again.

"Please don't bite me. I have nothing against you.." She pleaded.

"I am only on my way to the witch of the hut and I thought to protect myself from the sun here in the cave. I did not know it was a home for you. I never even knew you existed."

"The girl tells the truth!" Another of them said from behind. This, he could tell by reading her mind while she was distracted.

In this strength, Reuven also placed her down. But this had not meant he did that gently. It was indeed harsh and she had not even landed on the floor on her feet. It was more like she was thrown to the ground by anger.

When Adeline stood gently onto her feet. She had not stopped talking. She was talking about her mission to find the witch that she knew will cure her curse.

But it had not appeared that any of the werewolves were listening. They only all turned back and went in another direction inside of the cave or better still, inside of the mountain.

Adeline had not stayed to be alone. She followed among them and the further she was still talking she was asked for quiet.

"Shut up," Reuven commanded!.

"No one cares about your intentions. Just go!" He further said more abruptly.

But no matter how harsh he might have sounded, Adeline knew the sun outside of the mountain was still harsh and the day remained dangerous for her to get away.

They arrived at the flowing water inside of the mountain Adeline had heard since she stepped foot walking down into the cave.

The water was a stream that showered down from the top of the mountain. When she deepened her hand inside the water, she felt the coldness of it.

Though vampires do not need to take their baths as regularly as the werewolf or the humans, vampires do in a blue moon shower. But this does not mean they do get dirty the same way the humans do. Outside dirt, and blood, vampires don't get a spot on themselves. They do not sweat or have body oil.

It was in this way Adeline took off her clothes even when the others had watched her and wondered what she was about to do. It was also so true that it had been a while since they saw a gender not male like them and they were more eager to see what was underneath her suit.

But no one of the packs dared touch even a helm of her. The alpha can only do as he pleased and not them. Even if they will eventually touch her body, it will be by the instruction of the alpha. Thus all they could do was stare.
