The Wrath Of The Shadow Wolf

It was the early hours of the day and Wright and Maeve were inside of the gym exercising. Maeve was doing some squats, push-ups, and crunches while Wright was on the indoor cycling exercise bike.

“She is not a werewolf” Maeve announced.

Wright has been trying to avoid this topic for a long time now, but it is obvious that he can’t run from it anymore. For the past few days, he had been having doubt on whether Riona is a werewolf and would shift on the night of the full moon. Even though he does not care about being a werewolf, he still felt that it was only proper for his daughter to be like her kind and take her rightful place among her people.

“But we cannot be too sure, have you told her anything yet?” Wright asked.

“I was hoping for the right time to do that, but it is obvious that there would be no need to” Maeve replied.

“And have you finally confirmed that she is not a werewolf?” Wright asked.

Deep within him, he was hoping that Maeve would reply in the negative and would assure him that it was just a mere suspicion. He knew that it was not possible but all he could do was to hope.

“The signs, all of it, none is present. She has no wolf yet, if she does, it would have already been communicated to her. Not as if I was waiting for that to happen first, but none of the other signs is present. She does not heal fast when injured, she can’t mind link with anyone, she does not have the wolf scent, she is human” Maeve said.

Even in all her disagreement with Riona, Maeve has been watchful towards Riona. She was hoping to see any trait of being a werewolf so that she would coach her on all she needs to know about being a werewolf. That is not an easy task, but Maeve had already assured herself that even if she failed in every other aspect of her relationship with Riona, she was never going to fail in this.

Wright did not say anything. He only continued with his exercise but Maeve knew that he was deep in thought and she tried to console him. “Come on Wright, don’t get yourself worried over this. You have already given up your werewolf nature and moreover, Evolette is human and her daughter is free to take her nature, it was a fifty-fifty chance”

“I know. I just wanted her to take what is rightfully hers, now I regret that my decision has caused her not just her true self but also her inheritance. She has every right over Shadow Rank, and I had no right to pick for her” he replied.

“But we can’t tell if she would want to be a werewolf. Knowing who she is, there is a greater percentage she would not want to hear of that” Maeve said.

“Yes, we can’t. But that should have been her decision to make and not mine” Wright responded.

“You did what you believed was right. Please don’t be too hard on yourself, because you leaving the pack did not in any way influence Rio’s nature” Maeve said.

“Maybe, maybe it was just right for me” Wright responded.

Riona and Wright are in the sitting room when Riley came to join them from upstairs. She was dressed to go out and was looking really beautiful. She has makeup on with a red lipstick that really looks good on her. Riona was engrossed in the book in front of her and so, did not take cognizance of Riley’s appearance.

Wright looked up and saw Riley approaching. He saw how beautiful she was looking and he was captivated by her appearance.

“God you look amazing, Riley,” Wright said.

“Thanks, dad” Riona replied and goes to seat next to him.

Wright felt that Riley was prepared to go out so he asked her “Are you having a date?”

Hearing how well Wright was praising Riley, Riona looks up at Riley, shakes her head, and goes back to her book. She cannot deny the fact that Riley is a pretty girl, but she can bet anywhere and anytime that Riley in no way compares to her as she believed she was more beautiful than Riley.

“Not really, dad, I am actually going out with Davina” Riley replied.

“Oh, that is cool. So what are you guys up to?” Wright inquired.

“A friend of Davina is throwing a party this evening and that is where we are going to” Riley replied.

“That is great,” Wright said.
