Chapter 60Bryant Reed POV"How is my friend, please?" I asked the doctor who had just walked into the ward where I was with Celine who was already unconscious."He is fine now, but still unconscious," I felt a little relief that Nolan would be fine."Thank you," I said to him and he nodded then went ahead to check out Celine. "She will wake up soon," he said to me after he finished examining Celine, and I had no idea if I should be excited, scared, or sad about it. I didn't know how I was going to face her after what happened back there earlier. I wanted to control my wolf even though those people were getting on my nerves, I didn't want to lose control, but seeing her in so much pain made me lose it and I ended up scaring her."You need to come with me so your legs can be tended to," The doctor said to me, but I shook my head."I'll be fine," I assured him. I had thought that my legs were broken earlier but the doctor confirmed that it wasn't broken but just numb although the bone
Chapter 61"Ugh!" Alpha Kayla groaned angrily as he paced restlessly inside the large room, his blood boiling in rage. He had everything. Every damn thing he had worked for in the past had gone down the drain in just a second and there was nothing he could even do about it."I'm going to make them pay... They are going to pay for this betrayal," Slowly, he clenched his fingers and gritted his teeth as he glared into space. He slumped on the bed, then reached for his phone and scrolled through the bashing he was getting from the werewolf forum. 'How could he be so heartless? Who would've ever thought that he was the one that killed Princess Felicia''It's sad how he was able to play his game for years and didn't get caught. I wish he could rot in the pit of hell''Someone like Alpha Kayla doesn't deserve to be a family head let alone an Alpha. Sadly, nobody knew he was this disgusting''Nemesis caught up on him. He has hurt his benefactor and now it's time to reap everything he had s
Chapter 62Celine Coleman POVWe all came home from the hospital yesterday. I'm fully alright now because I never had any complications, but Bryant and Nolan were admitted at home and the doctor promised to come here daily to take care of their health. Ever since the incident about a week ago, things have never been the same. The image of what that wolf did to those men wouldn't stop popping in my head every damn time, and although I knew I wasn't supposed to be, I was scared. He only did that to protect himself and me, but that incident had given me a new perspective about him and even though I didn't like it, I couldn't help it. Over the last few days, denying that I'd been distanced from Bryant was the last thing I would do. A knock sounded on my door."It's me. Dinner is ready," Madam Leila's voice sounded from outside, and I sighed."I'll join you shortly," I heard her receding footsteps afterward and I presumed she must've walked away.I was finally able to get rid of my many
Chapter 63Bryant paused when he wheeled himself into Nolan's room and found him on the balcony instead. Nolan was yet to recover from the pain but he was getting better, or much better now, rather. A smile laced up Bryant's face, grateful that his best friend made it out alive. Maybe he would've lived the rest of his life with the guilt if anything had happened to him.Nolan who was leaning against the rail and staring into space all this time turned and smiled when he saw Bryant."Are you sneaking up on me, huh?" He scoffed and rolled his eyes, turning to face Bryant."Maybe," Bryant finally himself into the balcony and went to stay beside Nolan."How are you feeling now?" He asked Nolan."Much better than yesterday," Nolan replied, and he nodded.Silence assumed the atmosphere as they both stared up at the beautiful stars in the sky. It was a cool yet an emotional moment for the two friends. "Thank you for everything, Nolan," Bryant broke the silence, and Nolan scoffed."I owe yo
Chapter 64 Celine Coleman POV 'Let's get married, Bryant' A smile laced up my lips as I stared at my reflection in the mirror. I didn't regret asking him to marry me because I really was in love with him. He was everything I ever wanted in a man and I would be damned if I allowed him to slip off my fingers just like that. Never! I could barely get enough sleep last night because I was busy thinking about him all through the night and I wished we slept together, but he had to pass the night with Nolan. I woke up quite early this morning and did my usual morning routine of brushing my teeth and other things, after which I left my room to go assist Madam Leila in the kitchen. According to Nolan, he didn't hire a maid here because it was meant to be a secret place and he couldn't risk letting anyone here, so apparently, Madam Leila will be the only one handling things here until further notice. Wait! Until all of this is over. The usual sweet aroma of Madam Leila's food welcomed me
Chapter 65 Celine Coleman POV "I can't allow you to leave the house, Celine. It's dangerous out there. You know Alpha Kayla must've had his men out there to look for us," Bryant held my hand and shook his head after I told him I needed to step out of the house briefly. "He is right, Celine. You can't wander around just like that," Nolan who was seated on Bryant's bed chipped in. I had walked in on them talking about something earlier. "It's really important and I need to go attend to it," I insisted. "Then I will have to come with you..." "No, you can't. I can handle it alone," I quickly cut him off but he scoffed. "I can't agree to that, Celine. You can't go out alone. That's like risking your life and that's the last thing I want. It's either I go with you or you stay back at home," Bryant said with finality in his voice but who said that I was going to listen to him? I needed to see Jake and maybe send him back. I can't possibly allow him to stay here, right? We were yet to s
Chapter 66Celine Coleman POVIt felt like the whole world was against me. Having Jake here was something I never wanted and now that he was here, I had no idea how I was going to handle everything. I had many questions I wanted to ask him."Jake..." I finally paused pacing and went to sit on the bed beside him."What are you doing here? How did you know where I am?" I asked him the questions I was curious and disturbed about. This wasn't the time to be asking him those questions, I was supposed to welcome him warmly knowing that we were just meeting for the first time in five years, but then, my curiosity wouldn't let me rest."I told you I graduated from high school...""I told you that I'll handle your college. How come you are here?" I cut him off impatiently and he rolled his eyes."I just came here, can you at least let me get some rest? You are acting weird and it's making me scared. Is this still the sister that I know or is someone else disguising as you right now, Celine?" H
Chapter 67 'Friend' Even though it had been hours since she said that word, it was still fresh in his head and the thought of it made Bryant think he was going to lose his mind. Was she so ashamed of him that she couldn't even introduce him to her brother? Is that how much of a pathetic loser he is? The thought of it made Bryant want to go crazy but he tried to keep his sanity. The sound of the footsteps behind him caught his attention and even though he didn't look back to check who had just walked into his balcony where he had been, getting fresh air, he knew that the person was Celine. "Dinner is ready, Bryant," Hearing her voice, Bryant turned his wheelchair and faced her. "Dinner is ready? Is that all you are going to say to me?" Bryant almost lost his patience and raised his voice at her, but he tried to at least remain calm for the sake of nothing. "What do you mean?" How she could still act as though nothing happened earlier made Bryant hurt even more and he huffed. Brya
