The Wrath Of The Shadow Wolf novel Chapter 9

Riona gently opened the door and stepped out. As soon as she stepped out, she was intrigued by the sight in front of her. Right before her at the extreme of the garden were two wolves standing together. It was clear that they were unaware of her presence and so they did not make any attempt to run away.

Riona’s jaw dropped in fear. Her legs were shaking and she could not move an inch from where she was standing. She wanted to run away from them as she feared she would be noticed and attacked.

Her mind went to Sandra who was inside the house and the thought of any harm coming to her made her have goose bumps. She would not want any harm to come to Sandra while under her care.

She tried to scream but could barely let a single word out. In her fear, she began to gasp for breath.

*I think someone is here with us* Maeve told Wright.

*Damn it, it's Rio* Wright cursed. *For how long has she been here?*

*I can’t say for sure, but she has seen us and I don’t know what she is planning to do* she responded.

Wright was confused on how to handle Riona. He does not just want to hide from Riona, but also wants to make her forget what she had seen. He felt it was not yet time to reveal his true identity to Riona. In fact, he might never reveal this part of him to her unless he is very sure that she would need such information.

He knew how Riona reacts to things, especially things that she could not easily comprehend. As it is, he cannot say the exact thing that Riona would do, but he was sure that whatever it is will not be good.

*We have to be careful in doing this. She must never know what she is seeing. In fact, this is not real, it never happened* he instructed.

Riona recovered herself and immediately ran into the house. Sandra who had been sitting patiently waiting for Riona all along saw as Riona had run into the house quickly got up and ran after her.

“What is happening?” Sandra called after Riona.

Riona did not stop to respond to Sandra but continued in her quest. She climbed up the staircase and rushed to bang on her dad’s door.

“Open up daddy. Are you inside? Please open right now” Riona screamed.

“Rio” Sandra called.

Riona continued to ignore Sandra “daddy” she screamed.

The door opened and Wright came out. “What is it Rio, why are you screaming?”

“Dad” Riona murmured. For some reason, Riona was surprised to see her dad standing before her.

“Yes Rio, this is me” Wright said.

Riona looked around and then at her dad. “You are here?”

Wright was getting scared. Riona sounded as if she knew that he was the wolf she had seen in the garden just now.

“Yes I am. You can come inside” Wright replied.

He looked at Sandra. “Hello Sandra”

“Hello Mr. Wright” Sandra giggled.

As if just realizing herself, Riona said “There are some wolves in the garden dad, I saw them there right now”

“What!” Wright exclaimed. “And how were they able to get into my property?”

“You’ve got to come take them out right away dad. I don’t know how you are going to do that because they are very huge and fiery” Riona said.

“But are you sure about this?” Wright asked. “Because there is no way any wild creature would get into this property”

“You have to come right away dad. I wouldn’t want them to get away” Riona said.

“Okay dear” Wright said and dashed out.
