Chapter 489
ZADE.
"Well, the president called an emergency meeting," Sebastian says to me. I'm outside Ada's room in Atticus's house, a place I wish I wasn't. But the wedding was taking place and here I am, in smart pants again.
Adriana is inside visiting Ada and I know after the wedding she wants to move her, something Valerie told me a tad fucking loud, which was obviously so her brother heard.
I told her not to interfere, but it was obvious she wasn't going to make this easy for him.
"Oh, yeah?" I reply, glancing at Sebastian who is obviously waiting for a reply.
"Yeah, you got any idea about this?"
"Do I?" I ask.
Sebastian frowns and I push away from the wall. "Let's see what he has to say. Either way, I'll handle it. Now, don't you have a wedding to get ready for?"
"I'm ready." He frowns, glancing down at the suit he's wearing. I cock a brow.
"Sorry, you look the same as ever," I smirk as Valerie and Zala come up the stairs.
"Where's Adriana?" Valerie asks.
"Inside," I say, glancing at Zaia. I'm not sure if Valerie's told her, but one thing I know about these two is they tend to share a lot.
"What are you thinking?" Zaia asks curiously.
"Not much... just wondering if women know how to keep secrets or not,"
Valerie raises an eyebrow and I turn my attention to her. She's looking fucking fine in a shimmering lilac dress that's pushing up her tits, she's not wearing a bra and with every step she takes, they tempt me even more.
'I see you're distracted again,' Valerie's amused voice comes into my head.
"With a body like that, can you blame me?" I ask, looking into her blue eyes as I take her hand the moment she's within reach and pull her close.
"Well, as much as I want to play, I need to go check on Ada," she says softly, her small smile vanishing.
I frown slightly. She had already been in a long discussion with the doctors earlier on before I had left to pay the president a visit. I nod as she pulls away.
'Is she going to be ok?' I ask.
'I can't say... but it isn't looking good,' she replies hesitantly.
I don't say anything further as she slips into the room.
"Well, the presidents on in ten. I don't think Shelby's ready yet, so shall we go see what this is about?" Sebastian suggests.
I nod slowly, "Sure." I lead the way downstairs, worried for Adriana. If Ada dies... how will she cope? The sisters were all each other had.
Entering the lounge I stop, seeing Atticus already standing in front of the television, arms crossed.
Asshole.
I stand against the back wall as Zaia sits down on the sofa and Sebastian stands there, mirroring Atticus's pose as they wait for the president's message.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
The moment that will tip the man's scale between life and death... because if he refuses to do as I say... I will follow up on the promise I made him.
The president soon comes on and you wouldn't think he's just been threatened. He nods and gives a polite smile and begins.
I lean against the wall, hands in my pockets, observing him intently...
"As everyone knows, our country has faced a difficult time. On the 10th of this month, something that never should have happened took place..."
So far, he's following the script pretty much.
"... A group of terrorists who were targeting werewolves, who, like us, are just people wanting to live in peace. I want to thank the military for doing the right thing when the need arose."

He swallows and I tilt my head. It's subtle, but for someone who was involved he will be creating enemies out of the very people he worked with, but that's how scum works.
