Alex had not been able to function properly after he left Nina’s home. Even before he left, he sat in his car for a long time, staring at her window, waiting for the lights to go off before he solemnly drove away.Alex considered himself pathetic. He could not even prevent the one he loved from looking at him like that. The look in Nina’s eyes at the time frightened him. He had never seen her angry before. He was scared that he had touched something he shouldn’t have so now Nina definitely hated him.Alex was sad.He was usually good at managing his emotions but he could not handle it for some reason. He could barely sleep all night because of how uneasy he felt and the next day when he went to work, he had visible eye bags under his eyes.Alex was not the type to arrive to work in such a state but he could not care less about what was currently on his employees’ minds.Alex was the CEO of a big company. The company had a branch in his home city and also a branch in the city where Nin
Nina had never told anyone about her previous experiences when she came to this new place. Although she had so much resolve, it was still hard for her. Alex’s presence in Nina’s life was comforting. So comforting that she felt the need to tell him the truth. Or at least some part of the truth. She would not far to the him about her origins. Alex was a good man. Nina had decided to accept him. She had practically stripped her babies of a father figure, she could not let them miss a shot at having a father.“I killed myself.”Not a good start to a conversation but Nina was never good at talking.Unsurprisingly, her words startled Alex. Alex panicked as he could not immediately understand what was wrong with her when she started crying but she suddenly said that she had killed herself? Alex’s mind immediately wandered to unthinkable results. He was even scared that Nina had tried to kill herself.“Oh, Nina! Please, do not speak like that? What happened? Hmm? Is it something I said?” Alex
“Good morning baby mama!” Melissa greeted with a grin as soon as she saw Nina walk in for her shift.Nina smiled back at her. “Good morning, Melissa. How did you sleep?”“Horribly, I watched a horror series yesterday night and I feel like absolute shit.” Melissa grinned as she spoke of her Ill night. You would think she was not talking about herself.“You should really stop with the horror films. You need your sleep too, you know?” Nina advised her as she walked to her station. She dropped her bag onto the table and started to change into her work apron.“I keep telling her but she never listens, maybe it is because she is single?” Claudia, who walked in from the kitchen chipped in as she directly teased Melissa. “Oh, and good morning, Nina. How are you?”“I am good, thank you. What about you?” Nina smiled at her.“Great.”“Claudia, you are not going to act like you did not just insult me, are you?” Melissa whined from behind them.“I am not insulting you. I am just stating the truth.
Fried and Crispy Chicks was the name of the restaurant that Nina set her eyes on. It was a place that she had seen previously. She sometimes even took that route just so she could be able to enjoy the scenery of the road, so she would always see the fried chicken joint but she had never been interested in eating it. She would just glance and look away but suddenly, she couldn’t.It was like a sudden order from her stomach. Her stomach was telling her that she had to eat chicken for lunch. She was shocked at her newly found cravings. It was unexpected.Even Alex was shocked for a moment but he immediately recovered and smiled at Nina. He did not say a word as he smoothly drove towards the crispy chicken. Nina felt her heart thump in excitement. She had never eaten this food before but the image on the sign board was enough to take her away. No wonder they said that advertisement was important. Look at how they had managed to lure her into their place with just an ad.“Have you eaten th
The room went quiet except for the sounds coming from the television. Excitement was slowly filling the room as Nina touched her stomach with trembling hands.Alex stared at her with excitement that equalled hers. He was a bit surprised. Not of Nina’s reaction bit of his own. These were not his children, and although Alex had promised to take care of Nina’s children and shower them with love, he had not exactly been enthusiastic about them previously. He was worried about Nina and she took care of her, she just so happened to be pregnant. It was just that he loved her and he was willing to accept everything about her.When his eyes were on her, his tense muscles would loosen, his heart would beat faster and he would be fixated on her figure.Alex was hopelessly in love with Nina. Her excitement seemed contagious and soon, he was also excited about her pups moving.Nina frowned. “It stopped. Hmm.”“Oh, that’s fine. It will move more later.” Alex was not bothered by it. He had a whole l
Nina had started to see the real state of things the more she stayed in the Lycan territory. She had spent a lot of her time at the café. The time she had spent responding to others and receiving their orders was about the same time she had spent monitoring people and their behaviour. A lot of things suddenly felt clear to her. People were quite predictable yet unpredictable beings. Nina seemed to be able to properly see the reality more clearly. She could now easily read people’s emotions to an extent.So when an unexpected guest arrived at her door, and she saw the look that this person was giving her, Nina, unlike previously, noticed that there was something different about that gaze. There seemed to be some amount of negative intent in it. And it was quite surprising especially due to the identity of this visitor of hers.Standing in front of Nina’s door was none other than Nina’s cousin, Agnes.Nina had not seen Agnes for months now and she was not sure how to react to this sudde
“No.”“Huh?” Agnes flinched in shock at Nina’s response. It was fast and without hesitation. It was as if Nina had expected her to bring it up and was just waiting for the opportunity to reject her.“Nina, what do you-“ Agnes still hadn’t grasped the situation yet.“I mean, NO. Agnes.” Nina deadpanned. Her eyes were confident as she said this.Agnes was stunned. She had not been expecting this kind of reaction.Nina stared at Agnes’s shocked expression with indignance. Nina easily noticed how she didn’t seem to have expected Nina to respond like that. Nina frowned. Even if she was just eighteen years old, that did not mean she would suddenly become incapable of making any decisions for herself.When Nina thought back about it, Agnes seemed to have that effect on her. Nina had been taking her words like it was the plain truth. She would get scared and then follow along with what Agnes had planned for her. It seemed sort of like dependence but it wasn’t.Nina did not want to continue li
At the end of Nina’s second trimester and at the last appointment that she had with Doctor Cooper, Doctor Cooper had told both Nina and Alex about a few things to worry about during the last trimester. Although even if Nina goes into labour at this time, the children would survive under intensive care—it is still important for Nina to take good care of herself during this time. Nina’s pregnancy was quite peaceful compared to other females. She did not have any harsh symptoms. But this did not mean she would not have any at all. During the last trimester, the children would move around a lot and this might cause Nina a lot of problems. And during this time as well, her cravings might become more intense. Alex had paid a lot of attention to this.Alex had been planning to get Nina to move in with him. Nina was nearing her delivery date, it would be better if they lived together. He was still planning his proposal. He was ready to care for Nina during this time.So when Nina called him a
Nights in the Void Area were basically moonless. The sky would be pitch black without stars or the constellations. It was as if the work area had been abandoned by all the celestial bodies. The Moon Goddess did not monitor the happening in the Void Area. It was just an area for chaotic activities to take place without supervision.“There is no God in the Void Area.”A passing sage had once said this before. He claimed that the void area was an area completely filled with demonic beast. All more vicious than the other. But in such a lawless territory, there would definitely be the leader of all these beasts. The strongest of them. The apex predator.“It is called The Colondra. It is a strange monster that rests in the middle of the Void Area. It is always in a deep state of sleep. It might be that it was sealed by a powerful being in the past or that it is just leisurely resting. But one thing is sure, every night of the Blood Moon. It wakes. If it is not disturbed, it will not bother
“You…What are you talking about?” Agnes cautiously asked him.“Oh, are you talking about that thing you sensed when we got here?” Rex casually asked. This made Agnes even more confused. They had noticed something when they got here? Did that strange pressure also affect them? But what is this about a beast?“Yeah,” Jax replied.“You said it was really big. How big is it?” Axel asked him.Jax hummed for a minute. “Bigger than this dungeon but I’d say it’s as big as the upper structure of the entire building. It feels dangerous as well. Very. It keeps releasing a lot of pressure. It obviously seemed dissatisfied with the existence of people above it. I don’t know what kind of beast it is but it’s not a good idea to be so close to it. It’s right underneath us…”“Wait a minute! Do you mean to say that there is some kind of beast under us? Then why hasn’t it moved?” Agnes asked in a panic. If what Jax had said was true, then they could be killed at any moment. The beast was strong enough t
Agnes was quiet. Her eyes widened in shock. She looked up at the prison cell window. The door of the cell was completely covered except for the small barred window. She uncontrollably stared at the window, as if she would just naturally be able to see the person who had been talking to her. Agnes was not expecting anyone to respond to her. Or rather, she had not been expecting anyone to be there to listen to her. The guards were gone and she had never heard or imagined that another prisoner would be brought here, especially due to the location of the prison. It was a different place than where she had been locked up before she met with Nina. Previously, she had been in a dungeon with there being many more prisoners. But this time, for some reason, Thorin had decided to keep her locked up in the dungeons that were located in the Void Area. It was a three-cell small dungeon that was located under a small cabin in the middle of the Void Area. It was a basement space of the small cabin t
Nina was speechless at the end of the whole vision.“Unbelievable. Honestly.” She said to herself. It really was unbelievable. The reason for the Werewolf and Lycan feud was because of her past life and her retarded uncle? Such generational hatred was sourced from such a thing. Nina knew if she ever told anyone this, they would not believe her. So many theories of what might have caused our feuds had popped up over the years. The truth was far more simple than one would think.Nina understood that it was hard for someone to deal with grief so she was not undermining the feelings of the two boys, but still, she wondered how dogmatic the villagers were to just follow along with the separation.Nina could only sigh at the end. It seemed that this was the reality of it. Nina thought about it and she realized that Thorin’s death seemed a little strange. He has died with so much malice. Nina had seen a few other people die accordingly and she would always see their souls see to beautifully
“Nina, calm down.” Rogan had been listening closely. The truth about the situation was more ridiculous than he had expected. So many people had died because a power hungry man believed his greedy sorceress so much. And in the end, it would all be for nothing?Rogan could feel Nina’s mood change. First, he needed to help her manage her emotions for now.“I understand but-“ Nina tried to calm down but she really couldn’t. She felt scared and angry. Scared for her children’s life and angry because of the truth. Because her uncle was dumb enough to believe a fake prophecy, her children were in danger. She would not forgive any of them.“Yeah, I get it, but you need to calm down. We need to ask him a few more things. We need to get a solid plan. I’m guessing that we can’t just burst into the hideout and reveal the truth to Thorin now can we?” Rogan asked Coby. Rogan crouched down beside Nina’s figure. He didn’t touch her. He wanted to hug her but he needed to keep his distance.Coby bit hi
Nina’s eyes widened in shock at the teenager’s appearance. The teenager, Coby, paled when he saw her as well.“Do you know him?” Rogan asked.“Yes, he…is one of my son’s friends from the Lycan realm.” Nina stared at Coby with shock and confusion. What was Coby doing here? And how did he get here? Wait…was he somehow involved in this? Nina’s thoughts were going wild as pondered about this.“Where did you find him?” Rogan asked as he glanced at the boy in his subordinate’s grip.“He was hiding in the bushes nearby.” The man responded.“Let him go and close the door,” Rogan ordered his man to let go of Coby. The boy could not run even if he wanted to. They were currently in the living room of the house. They had to stay there for a while and plan things.The man nodded respectfully and left. Just like Rogan had thought, the boy did not consider moving. He just nervously stood in a spot. Rogan stared at the boy with a strong aura radiating off him. His gaze scared the boy and he was prett
Nina’s eyes widened in shock at what was happening. She could not properly grasp the situation.“Is..she…dead?” Nina asked with a trembling voice. The machines in the room were making some strange noises. Nina could hear the machine tracking Lyra’s vital make a monotone noise. It wasn’t beeping anymore, it signified that Lyra was indeed gone. It shocked Nina. Wasn’t Lyra supposed to last for longer than that? And what did her last words mean? It felt like there was still a lot she didn’t know or understand. How had Lyra met Thorin? Why did she team up with him? What was her reason? Did Lyra just die without even making things clear?!“It seemed she used her last burst of strength to speak. She must have given up after she got the message through.” Doctor Tim said as he came forward. He had a frown on his face. He had immediately sent someone to inform the Alpha.“Huh? What message? What message did she get through? Do you mean her scattered words are a well delivered message? How does
When Nina finally saw Lyra’s figure in the ICU, she almost couldn’t stomach it. Her body wasn’t even complete. She had lost her two legs from the knees down. One of her arms was gone and she looked emaciated. She was connected to so many wires. Her face had a claw scar on it, Nina realized that it was the scar that Rogan had left. All in all, she did look like someone who had just a few hours left. It was sad. Nina honestly wondered why she would do this to herself.“Is she conscious right now?” Nina asked Doctor Tim. He nodded.“Just go ahead and talk to her, we’ll be here listening closely.” Doctor Tim said as he monitored her vitals.“Okay.” Nina walked closer to Lyra. She felt a bit uncomfortable at the sight. When she got close enough to Lyra, she noticed that Lyra was awake. Her eyes were barely open as she seemed to stare into space.“Lyra?” Nina called out to her. Lyra flinched before she looked at her. When Nina made eye contact with Lyra, her eyes widened slightly. She seems
After Nina’s little spat with Nayla and Gabrielle, she walts into the dungeon to ask Rayne some questions. After a round of questioning, Nina finally gets the facts down. She is ready to go back to share this information with Rogan and the rest.She knows that Rogan is still at the hospital so she goes to meet him there. This time on her way, she does not encounter any strange or disturbing individuals. It is a sign that her warnings had worked, she didn’t even see the previous pair that had bugged her.At the hospital, Nina paid extra attention to the people a the hospital, it seemed that more and more people had been getting discharged. Werewolves healed fast so this wasn’t surprising. Nina watched to see if she would see any familiar faces but she didn’t. Although it could mean that some of the people she could remember were not hurt and admitted to the hospital, or it could ultimately mean they were dead. Rogan had told her about the graveyard behind the pack, she would go there t
