"Don't you dare, Salazar! I swear to the depths of the red blood moon, I will come back and finish all of you if you hurt my daughter!" Adelia shouted at the leaving figure.
She felt exhausted and fell on her knees. The thought of her 15-year-old daughter, Cynthia, receiving the punishment that was never for her, was already killing her slowly.
Why did she need to be the one to receive this so-called magical blood?
Her life was fine before. She, Salazar, and their baby Cynthia were having a good life together with the Silver Moon pack, not until the pack members discovered the magical blood running in her veins.
She was about to explain to Salazar what happened. But she was immediately thrown out to her temporary cell. Salazar was raging in anger for her. And no explanations he accepted from her.
The remaining werewolves in the pack were relieved when Alpha Salazar himself sent his mate to prison. They were terrified of what more Adelia could do with her magical blood. So it was better for the cursed Luna to be held captive. All of them, including the alpha, believed that Adelia was a cursed werewolf sent by the Goddess to spread chaos.
And that's what Salazar didn't want to happen.
So to make sure that Adelia would have no chance of escaping, Salazar ordered his werewolves to create a dungeon that Adelia couldn't escape. And before she was finally transferred to the cell of silver, Salazar rejected her as his mate.
Adelia accepted the rejection and the punishment because she understood that it was Salazar's duty to keep putting his pack on priority rather than his. And she knew how he loved his pack more than his life. She stayed in prison for years, accepting the curses and anger of the pack for what she'd done. She was willing to stay there for as long as she could if it was the only way to make up for the lives that she took.
But she would never accept that they would include her daughter, Cynthia, for the sin that she did nothing about.
"Wait for mother, Cynthia. I will make sure that we'll make everyone pay for the things they've done to you once I get out of this hell," she whispered to the wind.
'Mom,' Cynthia used a mind link to call her sleeping mother inside the cell.
