The ancient was awake
Ch-196
As Adira pondered her thoughts, her mind reeled with disbelief at the revelation that Lenora, the woman she had come to trust and rely on, was Azazel's daughter all along. The betrayal cut deep, like a knife twisting in her heart, as she struggled to reconcile the image of the woman she knew with the truth that had been hidden from her.
She remembered how Lenora told her the secrets she needed to know. The warmth she got. She made her believe that she would be welcomed in the Vampira. Was that all pretense?
Tears flowed through her eyes as she looked at the woman whom she believed so much. Life was like this always.
Her thoughts turned to her brother, who had married Lenora out of love and cherished her as his own. The realization that he had been deceived by his sister weighed heavily on her, knowing that their hearts would be shattered by the revelation of Lenora's true allegiance.
