SELENE'S POV This was utter chaos and I felt sick to my stomach.“Nyx! Don't just stand there! Hold him” Seraphina yelled at me, her eyes wide as she gestured to the warrior frothing at the mouth violently.Shit shit.It had been two hours. Just two hours since I had brought in that man to the already filled med bay and I was already drained out of my soul. For Seraphina, it seemed almost easy. Damn, the old woman was a hard nut to crack.She had been hopping from one bed side to the other and making sure all the patients were stable when suddenly this man started convulsing and I was feeling sick as I watched him trash about.As soon as I gripped his arm, I held him down and stared at her with fear in my eyes. “What's wrong with him? The Soulfern herb stabled the others from fits. What's wrong with him?” I asked, sweat beading down my head.There were 7 other medics here who were helps and taking orders from us but the fear in their eyes as they stood a good feet away from the trash

SELENE'S POV My lips parted and I wondered what to say for a spilt second before Seraphina beside me spoke up, her voice expressionless. “Can we help you?”Ronan didn't tear his gaze away from me. “No, I'm certain your daughter can help though. You should be here, is that right? The meeting is far more important but a member of my pack in the quarantine room is exhibiting…strange symptoms, I want him checked if you please” He said, his expression bland.Oh.I looked over at Seraphina who looked at me. “Check my bag at the cart in front. Get the Somnaris bloom and administer it to him. Take him to the med bay and give him a Plith herb if he foams and I'll take it from there” She instructed while I tried to grab what she was saying.“Okay” I muttered, silently cursing because I didn't even know what flower she was talking about.I should learn more but there was no time now. I couldn't check the fucking handbook.With a slight twitch of my lips in an attempt at a smile to Ronan who did

SELENE'S POV Davis kept that stupid smile on his face as he took my hand in his, gripping it firmlyㅡIf only he knew how much I wanted to knock it off his faceㅡ then he pulled his hand away and looked at Ronan who was still staring at me. “Medic Nyx Sullivan?” Ronan asked, his voice snapping me out of my daze as I whipped my neck to look at him. “Yes” I straightened up. He folded his arms, his muscles flexing visibly under his shirt. “That doesn't explain how you know my name” Davis looked between the both of us with a confused expression clouding his face. “You two know each other? I thought Medic Nyx was not from this plaㅡ” “ㅡWhich is why I would want her to explain how she knows who I am” Ronan cut him off, his brows furrowed together and his eyes darkening. This was not how I planned my arrival back into my pack. Shit. Needed to find a way to worm my way out of this one. “I…overheard your name from the emissary sent to us when I asked him on the way here” I blurted o

SELENE'S POV“We're almost there,” Seraphina, who was ahead of me on her horse with the emissary, who I recognized as Brian, rode beside her.I had fallen behind as I stared pointedly at Brian's back. It was true. He had not recognized me.Good.We had been riding for a whole day now and I calculated about an hour's more ride before we would get to our destination.“Don't screw it up, and don't in any way make him know you're the one,” Emelia warned in my head, but I was past words like that.“Emelia, I'm gonna ask you a quick one,” I said back to her whilst grabbing a water skin from the side of my horse to drink from.“What is it?” She asked impatiently, her words sincerely grating on my nerves.“How stupid do you think I am on a scale of one to ten?” I asked her.She was silent for a moment but I could feel her still there in my consciousness. “An eleven,” She said like it was a no-brainer.Wow.“I hate you” I whispered, lightly kicking the sides of the horse so we could keep movin

SELENE'S POV “You have 3 months, don't waste it. Your original body has been preserved… It is now somewhere away from Blackthorne Vale aㅡ” I woke up with a start, my body drenched in sweat as I looked around me, breathing heavily. A woman with slightly graying hair was leaning over me, but she was startled as I suddenly sat up, and she fell on her butt. The house was cozy and warm, the scent of herbs and wood filling the room. Where the fuck was I? I looked around me, wondering how I had ended up; I was right in the lake when I heard that voiceㅡthe voice?ㅡ What did it say? The sound of the old woman's voice brought me out of my daze and I snapped my head back to look at her. “Nyx…” Her tone was relieved and tears filled her eyes as she quickly enveloped me in a hug. I stiffened at once in her embrace and I quickly pulled away, my eyes wide as I stared her down. “Who are you?” I managed to croak, my voice slightly higher than normal. I immediately clasped my hand over my mout

SELENE'S POVDavis seemed shocked at my words and he gritted his teeth, the repentant facade simply disappearing as quickly as it was there.“You're rejecting me?” He snarled at me.Elara ran a hand through her messy brown hair and placed her hand on Davis's chest to soothe him. “Honey, calm down” She whispered.The sight truly disgusted me, and I took a hurried step back, my hand on the doorknob falling as I felt the unfamiliar ache in my chest caused by the breaking of the mate bond.It was a hollow shitty feeling, and my wolf, Diane, kept howling silently, feeling the same pain I was.“Get ready to leave my pack in the morning” I managed to spit out at the both of them before I turned on my heels and left the room, my mind chanting the same thing.I needed to get away from this cursed house for a while or I would break down.The rain outside seemed to intensify, but that was the least of my worries as I trotted down the stairs, out of the house, and into the rain, not caring how dr

ALEXANDRA'S POV Something in me told me that I should just walk past and go straight to the room but there was something in his stare that kept me rooted to the spot.He was slumped on the low stool in the corner, leaning forward with his hands on his laps and his gaze fixed forward.On me.I gulped, my throat strangely dry and he raised a brow at the action.“Mrs Warner” He muttered, his tone hard.I entered the house fully and took a step closer to him. I wanted to take a few steps forward again but something in his gaze made me freeze and I stared blankly at him.For a minute, we were just there. Staring at each other like we had nothing else to do then he broke the silence.“You really do like to stare” he muttered under his breath but I caught the words and the exasperation in them like he was tired of me already.A part of me raged at that. He was rhe one acting like a jerk right now.“Your friend came over to my office today” I huffed, crossing my hands and trying to appear to

ALEXANDRA'S POV “No, there's no need for that, Sarah” I sighed exasperated as I leaned back in my chair, my brow raised.We had been doing the necessary to move to Terra Nova Holdings which was Ethan's company because I had signed the deal that would merge our work together.It was a huge step but it was one I was willing to take. Even if everything feel apart, I would have enough money to last a lifetime with my sister.For now, I just had to play along.She sighed and dropped a stack of documents to my table and I looked at it skeptically. “What's that?” I asked.She nodded to it. “ A proposal from Sky Inc. They wanted to host a party for their guests tomorrow, it's short notice so the pay is really quite good, if you're up for it” She raised a brow at me.I regarded it for a while then I pulled it closer to me to get a better look at it. Fuck… $10,000 for a single night work? That was fucking huge for my company.She crossed her hands. “By the legal document you signed with Mr war

ETHAN'S POVSilence.Utter silence.Perfect.My brows were furrowed as I read the contents of the book in my hands, my eyes occasionally widening slightly.What in theㅡThe door to my office was unceremoniously pushed open and I quickly shut the book close, placing it face first on my table, a baffled look on my face.Gabriel strolled into my office, his gaze fixed on mine.“Sorry to bother you, There seems to be an issue and I needed to stop by and talk to you about it” He casually said, sitting down heavily on the chair in front of my table, oblivious to the fact that I was worked up.I refused to show anything on my face as I cleared my throat. “You know you could have just called me right?”“And miss seeing the look on your face? Please” he huffed.My eyes briefly darted to the book in front of me and I sighed. “What did you want to talk about?”, I finally said.“Okay…” he began speaking, his tone serious for once as he made gestures once in a while but for the first time in my li

ALEXANDRA'S POV “Welcome home, Mrs warner,” the doorman said with a bow as I walked past him into the mansion. The sun had dipped below the horizon and the sky had turned into a dark mass filled with glittering orbs. Stars. A look of sadness settled on my face. The surgery went well but she… she was in a bad state. The doctor said that she would be in a coma for a while and he didn't know if she would ever wake up. I had begged for him to do anything, I was willing to spend it all on her, every single dime I had but the doctor had just pried me off him before explaining to me that whatever happened from then on was entirely up to her and I just had to hope that she would overcome it. She was a fighter. Just like my mum was. Just like my mum tried to be. As soon as I walked into the house, I went straight to the kitchen to grab something light from the fridge when I spied Ethan leaning on the counter, his back to me as he stared at the post-its on the fridge. I was lat

ALEXANDRA'S POVI stilled definitely not expecting to run into Ethan here.Okay, so maybe I should have expected him to be here since Gabriel was here but it still didn't prepare me for the confrontation that was about to unfold.Bracing myself, I turned around, Piper hanging on to my arm reassuringly.“Mr WㅡEthan” I quickly corrected myself seeing as we were in public.Right. Don't call him so formally in public because it would lead to suspicions.He was standing there with two bottles of water in his hand and a confused look on his face.“What are you…” he walked over to us, his eyes going over to Piper who was scrutinizing him openly.“Oh, well we came here for something really briefly” I laughed nervously. “Are you here for work or something?”, I found myself asking.That was a stupid question but it was the first thing I could think of and I would take it as it was.He blinked rapidly, a look of confusion crossing his face before he smiled.“Babe, you know I'm not a doctor,” He

ALEXANDRA'S POV“Lexi!” Piper called from behind me as I walked over to the receptionist at the hospital to check in with her when the surgery would be done.I had left the house a few hours back and now I was at the hospital with Piper who was breathing down my neck and trying to ask me questions.I wasn't nervous. She would live. Sage would live. The other surgeries were successful, this one had to be too.“Oh god, what?” I asked exasperatedly as I went over to the chairs in the waiting room after confirming that the surgery would end in 30 minutes approximately.“Okay, I know this is a really bad time but you kept me in the dark since that time. What happened that night? You didn't want to talk about it and you cut my tour of your house short” She huffed, her boots clicking against the tiles as she walked over to me and sat beside me, her short flayed skirt resting on her thighs.She always looked the part, I preferred more simple clothing which was why I was wearing a simple black
