Chapter 44

Valerie's POV

I don't know if he's psychic or he just enjoyed showing up at places he wasn't wanted or needed but Adam had a niche for appearing at the most awkward and uncomfortable moments. Rendall was about to crack at the exact moment he showed up. I knew it, I could feel it, the more I persisted the more I saw his resistance slowly wear off through his eyes and I felt I finally had the upper hand in this chaos I called my life, but I should have known it was too good to be true. 

The moment Rendall heard Adam's voice, the reverse was the case. His eyes became the size of saucers as he turned back taking in Adam's full size before running off back into the woods. I tried yelling out for him to stop but he didn't turn back not even once, only the moon goddesses knew when next I would have an opportunity to meet him. This was my one chance and now it's gone because someone decided to butt in where they were not needed. I hoped more for Adam's sake
