Helena’s words brought yet another look of puzzlement to the young woman’s face, her jaw nearly going slack. Adrianna fell into step behind the she-wolf, perhaps too intrigued by her choice of discussion to stay put. Ludolph wouldn’t be coming back for her, she was sure – she would be lucky if she never saw him again. For now, she had decided to stick behind the gorgeous woman in front of her, gazing at the back of her sunny dress as they made their way back to the village. At least someone is giving me the information I need, Adrianna thought callously. Why hadn’t Ludolph told her anything? It was his job, or at least she assumed it had been. When she had left the alpha’s abode, the beta had been kind enough to remind the two that they had something to talk about. He had still evaded a majority of what he was supposed to tell her, most of what being a wolf would be like or what it meant.
Her eyes never leave Helena, listening to her speak. It almost frightened her to hear that there were plenty members of the pack who were curious about her, perhaps even ‘star struck’ by her. When she mentioned that some would question her, she nodded, “Ludolph asked a few things,” Her mouth tasted horrible after saying his name, yet she knew the conversation would make little sense if she didn’t use it. “I didn’t give him much, and I don’t see why anyone would expect me to. After all, I’m still the enemy.” Her voice sounded quite harsh, yet gentle. Adrianna had come to terms with this, having thought she wouldn’t be accepted due to it. But, when Helena had revealed it didn’t have that large of an impact on her social standing here, she almost felt sad. The young woman wasn’t happy with this, either – some would hate her, some wouldn’t. These creatures are far too fickle to agree on one thing, the young woman mentally cursed, her nose wrinkling unhappily. “Well, for the time being,” Adrianna corrected herself loosely, running a hand through her hair. Strands had fallen into her eyes, creating a sense of annoyance.
When she was questioned on what she had been told, the brunette shook her head, “I wasn’t told anything.” Ludolph had failed his orders again, having bounced around the subject. Perhaps he had thought it too difficult to talk to her about – but the longer he put it off, the harder it would be for Adrianna to accept it. Her comment about what Ludolph had decided to do instead of inform her was spot on – her hands had almost balled into fists again, recalling his giddy smile that had faded into a somber hatred. “He took me to play in the water,” Adrianna mused unhappily, annoyed by the thought of it. Sure, he had showed her how to get home, but that wasn’t a necessary thing to know yet. She needed to know what was in store for her and how she was supposed to survive here. The brunette had no other option than to stay here, knowing she would be hunted elsewhere.
Helena’s scoff brought a tiny smile to the hunter’s lips, recalling the men who lived in her village. There were several her age who were obsessed with women sometimes – they only thought of impressing them, rather than creating a stable environment for them. Adrianna could easily name two of the worst ones – who she just so happened to grow up with. One was a few years her senior, while the other was a few years her junior. The sad part was, they were brothers – or, rather, partners in crime.
It took the brunette a moment to realize Helena had asked her a question, having thought it had been aimed at the rabbit in her arms. She delicately prodded her stomach, as if feeling for any soft spots. The brunette was sure by the time they arrived at their destination, she would be hungry enough to accept the woman’s offer. “I could eat,” Her expression almost seemed unemotional, perhaps more concerned on whether Helena would enlighten her or not. If not, she would have to beat the information out of Ludolph. Sure, she didn’t want to see him right now, but if he was hiding important information from her, she’d tear his a** up to find out what it was.
Adrianna had voluntarily stumbled into Helena’s abode after her, having decided this was her only other option. None of the other pack members had approached her yet, but she had noticed some stares that weren’t menacing. It was odd to receive so many odd looks. Without much thought, Adrianna located the nearest chair at the table and pulled it out. She slumped down into it, perhaps revealing a bit of her hunter-like nature – they were brutes and lacked some manners. She was perhaps the most refined of them all, though she would keep her act together around the alpha from now on. Considering who he was, she had to do as he said – otherwise, she feared she would force Betty into some sort of fight with him. The brunette would love to see that, but she knew it wasn’t right to do that. Not even to a wolf.
Setting her crutch aside, she allowed it to lean against the table beside her. One of her hands idly reached toward the fruit bowl, removing a strawberry like Helena had. It wasn’t often that she ate fruit, seeing as their village was rather cold. The climate could not sustain the succulent little fruits. Chewing it, she watched her, leaning forward in her chair. “So, Helena, are you going to tell me what Ludolph didn’t?” Her voice was rather even, layered in calm she had not felt until now.
