He asked calmly. But Cynthia knew that behind that calm voice was a terrifying thing.
With trembling hands, Cynthia accepted her father's hand.
"Salazar!" Adelia shouted.
Salazar led the way towards Adelia.
Cynthia felt like her heart was about to go out of her ribcage. How could she forget that her father was an alpha?
Of course, it was easy for him to sense everything.
"Say hi to your mom, Cynthia," he told Cynthia when they reached in front of Adelia.
Adelia shapeshifted to her human form. She felt the worst fear she ever felt in her life. Her tears fell from the mixed anger and scare for her daughter. She eyed Salazar as she shook her head. "D-Don't do t-this, S-Salazar," she begged.
Salazar glanced at her innocently. "I'm not doing anything, Adelia," he said.
Adelia continued to wag her head. Her tears won't stop falling.
At her mother's reaction, Cynthia knew that something terrible would happen to her.
And truly, in just a blink of an eye, she was already gasping for air after Salazar choked her with his hand. "A-aack!" Tears welled her eyes.
