Lenora's Dream

Ch-27

"I will leave then," he said through his gritted teeth.

"....She won't wake up till tomorrow sunset," Eudora finished her earlier sentence, stupifying her son.

Zaros never felt this annoyed by his mother.

"Why won't she wake up?" Zaros asked annoyed.

"According to rituals, Serene, your mother-in-law fed her a juice that makes her sleep for a day," Eudora said.

He almost misunderstood her because of her. She can't be so ridiculous. He has to fix his thinking from now about his mother all over again. she changed with the company of his mother-in-law. Looks like her mother-in-law was a bad influence. Wait... what if all vampire women change with the company of Werewolf women? They have to leave as soon as possible from this place.

"Stupid rituals!" he muttered and was about to walk away.

Eudora just laughed at his behavior.

"Son, carry her to her room," Eudora said.

Zaros immediately turned around and looked at her with an annoyed expression. But for some reason, he even wanted to go ahead and take a look at her even if he hated her.

"She is inside," Eudora said and showed him the way.

He walked with hurried steps into that room with grumpy steps or more as he acted like a grumpy. The moment he entered the said chambers, his mouth opened widely at the scene he saw. The scene he saw there left him speechless. Entering the chambers, he saw his sister and his wife were sleeping crouching like a prawn into a fetal position.

Both his wife and his sister slept like babies without any guard against them. When he saw his sister, an arrow struck his heart at how behaved toward her in the past. And now... he wouldn't even get to see her or talk to her.

Then Zaros looked at his little wife. She looked like a little cute fox. Zaros really wanted to talk with Adira now when he saw her. The longer he stared at her the longer he felt regret. The annoyance, the anger, and the frustration he felt earlier started melting away as he looked at her.

In fact, she was the most obedient and loving person. She was even too cute, hot, and sexy. Even earlier it wasn't her fault. But she sat like she did something terrible and took all the blame as he accused her of the things she didn't do. Adira even shed tears because of his animalistic behavior. He almost choked her to death but when he saw her tears, he snapped back to reality.

She is just twenty unlike him or others who lived over centuries. He forgot she was a child. Even if he didn't love her, he at least needs to be kind. Or else... he has to leave her the way she was. That way she would leave on her own and it would be his advantage. A wicked smile formed on his lips at the very thought.

As he immersed himself in his self-thoughts, he didn't see the arrival of Maximus into the chambers.

Even Maximus was desperate to have his wife in his arms. When he came, he saw his mother smirking at him proudly. She told him that she made her drink something that made her sleep for a day. As he was about to leave the place, his mother-in-law came to his rescue. She asked him to carry his wife back to his room. Maybe he can cuddle with his wife as he slept. Eudora even gave the direction to her son-in-law in finding her daughter. Maximus felt happy to have a mother-in-law like her.

When he came, he saw his brother-in-law standing at the doorstep without moving as he gazed at something. Following his gaze, Maximus noticed that his wife and sister were sleeping together like babies which made him feel contented. As he gazed, a strange calmness enveloped his chest. Feeling happy, he decided to break the silence.

Just when he was about to break the silence he heard a low whimper from the bed.

"No..." Lenora started grumbling in her sleep. Her face held a pained expression as she started whimpering. Looks like she was having a bad dream. Maximus wanted to move toward her and soothe her back to sleep but he stopped hearing her next line.

"No... please... no... sister.... Hold on... I will help you!" her voice sounded desperate.

Sister... Zaros and Maximus were stunned at her words. Was it a dream about Victoria? Looks like that. Both men watched as she struggled in sleep but nobody came to soothe her.

"Don't touch her! Bastard!" Her voice sound angry as she yelled. Zaros realized there must be a man in the dream trying to do something to them.

"Sister...."

"Sister...."

"Sister..."

"No... no... no... please... please don't... leave her..."

"Don't do this to her.... please..."

"No!!!"

"Sister!  Wake up! Wake up!!!" Her voice turned desperate at the very second.

Lenora sat up in a swift second. Looking ahead she realized... it's not a horrible scene. This was the same dream she was getting for the past two weeks.

She saw someone trying to compel her sister victoria... but it failed. She tried to drag her sister out of the place but all she could feel was pain throughout her body. Lenora can't even move. Even lifting a little finger was painful to her. But... she didn't give up. She tried her best to help her sister.

But there was someone else... she couldn't see his face or remember his face. But the way he looked, he looked dangerous. He held something that looked like a weapon made of silver but it isn't silver. With that weapon, he landed a hit on her head making her fall unconscious to the ground.

Who was that man?

What was that weapon in his hand?

What's his aim?

What does he want?

Why did he choose his sister to torture?

Why did he involve her?
