Facade

Chapter 19
Eliana Adler's POV

My Nan hugged me back while sobbing, i tightly hold her, comforting her.

"Please forgive me Nan, i acted without thinking, i shouldn't have talk back like that" i said in a low voice. Gramps pat my back.

"Forgiven but now you have to help me in baking cookies" Nan said with a smile. I am really bad at baking but I love Nan's delicious cookies.

"Fine! I said while pouting" she laughed back at me.

I saw as my Nan nicely knead the dough, she is really talented. Suddenly I saw a text from Zach, it said that Raphael's beta has find the skinwalker. He told me to visit the pack right now. I need to make an excuse now, i hate to do this but I have no other choice. This is going to make Nan hurt again. I am so sorry.

"Oh no! I forgot I had to meet with Chloe, she needs my help with her new boyfriend" i said hurriedly. Nan raised her left eyebrow in shock.

"Chloe has a boyfriend? She doesn't even get out of her house, you should definitely learn from her" Nan said in a sarcastic tone while smiling at me. Yeah I knew that coming. I just roll my eyes at her.

"Don't be late or you'll miss this delicious cookies" Nan said with a wink.

"Yeah of course I won't miss" i replied back and left while waving back at Nan. As I get out of the house I felt a strong pull towards none other than Zachary. Is this his power? I never felt this before. It was like a magnet, so strong. I tried to mindlink with Zachary, 'stop this', i said to him. In a minute he replied back.

'stop what?'

'this magnetic pull or whatever' i said.

'oh, it's not intentional, it's because the mating period right around the corner' he said in a very very polite tone.

'what is that?' I asked. He should definitely tell me all the information about this werewolf transformation.

'that I'll explain you later, now we need you' that's what he said and quickly break the mindlink. I am going to break his legs for cutting off the link like that. He could have easily explained me that. Ugh! Now I am annoyed. I took a pace and start running. I am a lot more flexible and strong now, I bet i can win a fighting championship. I should use my powers for good though and not use them for cheating others. I did a backflip and landed on a tree branch, i am impressed with myself.

After few minutes I saw the boundaries of the Blue Moon clan. I jump on top of the trap wire and landed on the other side of the wall. Who would know about this amazing place? It's another civilization living beside human world. If i were not one of them, i would have never knew the beauty of this place and their people. I focus on myself and try to find Zachary through my mindlink but terribly failed. Ugh! I still need more practice.

'Are you here? I can feel you' Zachary said through mindlink.

'yes' i replied back.

"Follow me then" i felt his breath on my ear and quickly turn around. Zachary was standing on my back, raising his left eyebrows.

"You scared me" i said.

"Come" he said and started walking away. I followed him from behind. We reached near a broken warehouse, it looked very old and rusty. The old warehouse with its centuries settled dust brought feeling of welcome to the landscape. I breath in the smell of fungus around the corner of the building. Zachary open the door and the darkness engulfed me. There was barely any windows for the light to enter the room. I heard some noises, it didn't felt pleasant at all. I didn't realise that I was holding Zachary's hand tightly. I quickly removed my hand in a hurry, my cheeks turned red.

"I didn't mind that little gesture, don't worry you are save in my arms" he said in a seductive way. That was super cheesy, I roll my eyes at him. We turn around the corner and I saw a blue hair guy standing in front of the door. It look like he was guarding the door. As we we're going to walk in the guy block our way with his hand. Zachary seemed confused.

"Noel why are you blocking our way? Eliana is one of us now and she is here to see the skin walker" Zachary said to the Noel guy.

"Sorry, I am just following Raphael's order and he asked me to keep you both out of it" replied Noel with a stern look. Raphael's order? Why would he say something like that?

"Let me talk to my brother move" Zachary said with an angry look on his face.

"Sorry but I can't disobey my Alpha's order" replied Noel. I felt Zachary's anger rising, I could tell he was ready to tear up his throat, i quickly hold Zachary's hand in a comforting manner to calm him down and thankfully it worked. I looked at him and assured him. I need to take matters in my hand. I walk upto Noel and looked at him with puppy eyes.

"Can we talk to Raphael please it's urgent" i bite my lips in nervousness. The guy sighed and moved away his hand.

"Ok, i called the Alpha, he would be here soon" said Noel.

"He better be" Zachary said with sarcasm. I could feel the sibling energy straight in his face. why does anger feels good on Zachary though? It makes me wanna obey him more. Oh god! What am i thinking? I stare at Zachary who gave me a surprised look, I knew he was listening to my thoughts. Now I wanna dig a hole and jump into it due to embarrassment. Suddenly the door swing open and Raphael walk out of the room. Raphael had a stern and serious look on his face, he stare at me then at Zachary.

"Why did you tell Noel to keep us out brother?" Asked Zachary with the same expression as Raphael. I just stood there staring at them both.

"We decided to kill the skinwalker, burn him down to the ground" said Raphael while giving me a look. What? Is he serious now? I know it tried to kill me and made my life a complete hell but there has to be a reason for doing all these things. Maybe we can change the way this thing is or maybe we just need to know their backstory. Killing is just the easy way out and i am not ready to let them do that.

"It's not fair, you just cannot kill someone like a cold blooded monster" i said furiously. Raphael stared at me in confusion.

"I think it's for good" Zachary said. Now he agree too? Killing is so easy for them? I can't believe they are doing this but i am going to try my best to stop them. Everyone and everything has good in them even the bad has surrounded then completely, there is always that little good. I know the skin Walker had that good in them, I felt it when it kidnapped me. As a seer i realised i can also feel their evil and good side but it happens suddenly, i didn't know what triggered it during that time and I still don't know now.

"Yeah Eliana, it's for your good, you know all the things the skin Walker did" said Raphael calmly. I thought Raphael is the understanding brother but i guess I analysed him wrong after all. Zachary and Raphael are same type, they can kill anyone and anything that causes even a little bit harm to them. I don't believe in that, i believe people can change, we should always give them a second chance, everything deserve a second chance. I feel it cause I never received a second chance in my life, my parents never believed me, they never saw the good side and judged me too quickly. I am not letting anyone feel that ever again.

"Why don't you call for a vote and see how many people wants the skin Walker dead?" I suggested Raphael, he sighed and slowly shake his head. I don't think everyone will agree on the same thing though they might blindly follow their Alpha, so I need to let them know that this time they should follow their heart and not the Alpha. Everyone has their own opinion and i need to know how many of them thinks like me.

"Also Raphael shouldn't forced his pack mates into taking the same decision as his" i said with a loud growl. I shouldn't be talking to an Alpha like that but he is not my Alpha and i ain't gonna listen to his craps. I would listen and obey him but not if he is wrong and right now he is very wrong.

"Eliana, i know you think you can change the skin Walker but that thing is irreparable, it's gone too far" said Zachary while trying to calm me down. I knew he was listening to my thoughts again, that bastard!

"Ok fine, let's arrange for a vote but let me tell you everyone will disagree and i don't even have to force them" Raphael replied back. I would like to hear that from them not from Raphael.

Suddenly we heard gunshot, so loud to make your ear bleed. I was shocked and my heart was loudly throbbing against my chest. Raphael quickly run inside, me and Zachary followed him from behind. My hands were shaking not from dear but from anxiety of the gunshot sound.

As we enter the room, I saw a hole in the head of a hideous looking creature tied to chair, it must be the creature's real self. Black blood was oozing out. On the other side of the gun was Laura, standing still with no expression at all. Why did Laura shot it? My eyes were widen at the scene.
