Chapter 59 The Bolton Mansion
- The atmosphere at the Bolton household was tense. Despite it being a traditionally festive and happy day, a heavy mood hung over the place. With everything that was already happening and the secrets Adrian was hiding from his parents – or rather, from his father – he seemed to be sweating all over. But he had to pretend to be calm. After all, any abnormal heartbeat would be noticed by his father, who would immediately know something was wrong.
- It was a special day not only because he was turning 18, but because he was about to fully transform into a giant wolf. Being accepted into the pack and respected by his father made Adrian even more nervous. How would his complete transformation be? Would he feel pain like the first time he transformed into a hybrid? Would he lose consciousness and attack others? Would he run to kill Luna? Even though he could control the beast within him, Adrian wasn’t confident. Many people were moving around the house, decorating it for an event that was just a façade for a few close friends. In that town, appearances were everything: who had the most fortune, the most political power. So, the event would also showcase the Bolton family's power.
- Adrian decided to focus on himself, confident that Luna would be safe at home and that, after the ceremony, he could finally relax. He hoped for that. However, Nathan, possessed by a witch’s magic, saw that night as an opportunity to finally capture the girl. The real Nathan fought against his consciousness. He knew he was trapped by Jane, but it seemed she had taken all his strength. She used him as a puppet for her plans. All Nathan wanted was to scream and warn everyone he was imprisoned. He wanted to tell his pack to go after the witch and defeat her, but even his mouth was sealed. He was nervous, so much so that it made Melissa curious.
