EMILY’S POV.After finishing cleaning his injuries, I checked his temperature, which seemed normal. Placing an extra pillow behind his back, I adjusted his position.“Are you alright?” Alex observed, watching me tuck my hair behind my ears.“I’m fine,” I assured him, but as I carried the tray with his medication and herbs, I clumsily spilled its contents onto the ground.“Are you sure you are okay, Emily?” Alex asked gently.“I'm fine, just a little clumsy today,” I replied gathering the content back into the tray. I could feel Alex's eyes on me as I picked up the tray and hurriedly carried it out of the room.Setting the tray down in the kitchen, I took a deep breath, hoping to regain composure. I prepared another batch of his medication and herbs, Gathering the tray once more, I made my way back to Alex’s room, hoping to alleviate both his pain.I set the tray down carefully on the bedside table, making sure it was secure before turning to face him.“I’m sorry about earlier,” I bega
BLUE’S POV. I set the dish on the table and looked around, wondering if everything had been placed correctly. I wanted this dinner to be perfect, especially since it had been a whole and everyone I cared about was seated together. I was feeling very anxious and frustrated at the same time.Troy strolled into the dining room and hugged me warmly before planting a light kiss on my forehead.“Do you think I have done a good job?” I questioned, my hands resting on my forehead in uncertainty.Troy chuckled softly. “Of course, darling, you have done wonderfully. No need to get so worked up about it,” “Are you sure? I feel like there is something important that is missing and I can't quite place a finger on it,” I sigh.“Hey,” Troy said softly, “take a deep breath. Everything looks fantastic, trust me. You have put so much effort into this, it’s going to be amazing.”I nodded, trying to steady my breathing. “I just want everything to be perfect.”“I know,” he replied and pulled me into a
ALEX’S POV. Emily gently pushed my wheelchair as we moved through the dark path, the bright moonlight made it easier for us to find our way.“I am sorry about the dinner, I wished I knew it was going to turn out the way, I would not have invited you,” I said.“There is no need to apologize, we both were not expecting it,” Emily said.“I know, but I feel guilty that you had to experience that,” I sigh.“It's okay, this is not the first time I have been made to feel unwanted by their kind,” Emily said softly.“Do you mind sharing?” I asked hoping to learn more about her. “Growing up as a human amongst werewolves has to be the most terrible experience you can have as a child and it can forever scar you,” she began “I never really had a home until I met my mother, I was always moving from one foster care to another,”“So how did you meet your adopted mother?” I questioned.“Well, one day I grew tired of my foster home and ran away, in my head I thought it was easier to survive alone th
EMILY’S POV.I woke up to Alex cuddling me tightly, he was still fast asleep and he looked so beautiful and sexy. Gosh, why would I think that I am his nurse and I should be professional instead of thinking about how drop dead gorgeous he looked? I slowly freed myself from his hold without having to wake him up. I quickly went to the bathroom to have a quick shower then wore one of his shirts since mine was already dirty. I hope he did not mind. My stomach growled loudly and I decided to make some breakfast for the two of us. I started humming my favorite song and dancing to it while I made the pancake when I was suddenly startled by a figure appearing behind me. “I did not mean to scare you,” Alex said, but my mouth remained wide open as I looked at him in shock.“You can walk,” I exclaimed when I finally found my voice. “You can walk,” I repeated, to make sure I was not hallucinating.Alex smiled shyly “I can for a while now, but I still leap,” “Show me,” “Do I really have to,”
BLUE’S POV.I was alone in my garden, trying to meditate. I know Tyga would be surprised to see me willing to try to meditate on my own. I closed my eyes trying to remain focused but my mind was busy, bringing different things for me to think about. I lost concentration and blurted out “Gosh, this is far more difficult than I imagined.”I closed my eyes again, taking a deep long breath, listening to the sound of the wind, trying to get attuned to my mind as I was taught by the witch sisters, and eventually, it happened. I was in the other realm. I opened my eyes and I met Sabrina, my spirit guide looking at me.“Took you so long to come to find me,” Sabrina sighed. “You knew I was coming?” I asked, raising an eyebrow.“Of course, no one can enter my realm with my permission, not even the strongest witches,” she said pridefully. “Follow me,” “Where are we going?” I asked as we walked through a dark narrow path, I could neither see where we were going nor where we had left behind.“I
ALEX’S POV.I woke up in a pool of sweat again, panting and breathing heavily. Was I dreaming again? The dreams were becoming very vivid, almost too real to be a dream. I got up from the bed with the small energy I could gather, taking a small step to the bathroom. I was startled by my reflection in the mirror. But I shook my head refusing to believe what I was seeing, maybe I was hallucinating. I took a long cold shower, watching all the dirt and pain away, I stayed in the shower long enough until my legs were too tired to hold me up any longer and I went to dress. I heard the sound of loud heavy footsteps running towards my room, I opened the door and a young boy with dark blond hair around the age of seven stood staring at me puzzled.“Nathan, I told you can not go there,” Emily called out and I immediately knew the little boy was Emily's younger brother. “I'm so sorry,” Emily apologized, pulling the boy away and turning to him, “I warned you to stay in one place, this ain't yo
TROY’S POV. “We discovered another body again,” one of my guards said, shaking his head in disappointment. “Is he still alive?” I asked, hoping we could get a bit of information from the victims.“He was still breathing when he found him in a pool of his own blood,” he responded. “Was he able to describe what the creature looks like, if he did that would be very helpful,” “It was very difficult to hear exactly what he was saying but he said that the creature looks like a deformed werewolf and it also acted like he knew him,” The guard replied.“Did he say who it was?” I asked curiously.“No, he did not say anything more before he died,” The answer.Blue who was sitting next to me, listening to the conversation spoke up. “Where is the body?” she asked. “It is in the sacred home, where they are performing the final rituals before he is laid to rest,” said the guard.“Take me to the body,” she said, a statement that confused both the guards and mine.“No, he would not do that,” I s
ALEX POV“Here,” Emily said, stretching a piece of paper in my direction. “What is that ?” I asked her while taking the piece of paper from her hand.“Take a look at it?” she urged.I accepted the paper, glancing at her before reading the content of the paper, it stated that she would no longer be able to work with the patient because of personal reasons. “You are leaving?” I asked puzzled, “why?” I have been on my best behavior trying to get her to like me and not see me as the asshole I initially was to her.“Like it was stated there, it's because of personal reasons besides you will have another nurse, she will be nicer and has much more experience than I do,” Emily replied, looking at my eyes steadily.“I do not need another Nurse, I am perfectly fine with you, I do not need anyone else,” I protested. “I am no longer comfortable being your nurse any longer,” she said, “so I thought it was only proper I inform you first before your doctor,”“Why Emily? I thought we were getting
Chapter 138 – Blue’s POVThe world outside felt eerily calm as we prepared to set out. Emily’s sobs echoed in my mind as I stood by the window, staring into the night. It was the calm before the storm—a silence that weighed heavily on all of us.Troy’s presence beside me was steadying. He placed a hand on my shoulder, his grip firm and reassuring. “We’ll get him back, Blue. We’ll bring Nathan home.”I nodded, steeling myself. “And we’ll finally end this madness.”Emily sat nearby, her face pale and drawn, clutching the last remnants of hope she had. Her brother’s life hung in the balance, and we couldn’t fail.Troy stepped forward, the sword from his uncle’s chest now sheathed at his side. “This might be more than just saving Nathan. If Emily’s right, this man—the one behind all of this—could be tied to the secrets of the cult. He might even be the one who’s been orchestrating the attacks against our pack.”I swallowed hard, the weight of his words sinking in.“You don’t think…?” I he
TROY’S POV.I opened the door letting Blue inside. It was the room where my dad had kept some of his possessions before he died. I have not been inside here for a while and I felt nostalgic.“What are we doing here?” Blue asked, “You never wanted me in this room,” “Yep but I think it’s important now,” I said walking to where there was a pile of boxes, and underneath was an old wooden chest. I removed all the boxes out of my way and brought out a sword from it, carved by the finest blacksmith, and showed it to Blue. “What’s that got to do with anything,” Blue asked, placing both hands on her side.“It belongs to my uncle,” I said. “ Okay, and? Do you intend to use it to fight off the enemies? Because we have to know who they are before we can fight them.” “Look,” I said while showing Blue the fine craft design embedded on the swords. “You see what is written here?” Blue eyes widen in surprise as she reads the words “Deep in the assay,”“Exactly,” I answered proudly and carefully

EMILY’S POV. Humming a turn mindlessly, I strolled along the lonely part leading to my house. It was a shortcut that I had not used in a while but today I decided to take that lane because I was exhausted and needed to rest.While walking I noticed an unusual sound and I turned around to see a man standing beside me. He was wearing all black and wore a mask too, so I could only see a part of his face. “Hey, “ I said trying to hide my fear, it was strange to see another person walking in the same lane because it's usually quiet and nobody uses it as much. He did not say anything, so I kept walking fast and trying to be on high alert.The man eventually caught up with him. At this point, the hair on the back of my neck was standing and I did not know if to run or pretend to be brave. So I choose the latter.“Are you sure you did not take anything from that room,” he asked.“What are you talking about?” I asked, walking faster, trying to get away from this creep. “You know exactly
BLUE’S POV. I went upstairs to tend to my crying babies. I entered the room to find Troy was already there, gently rocking one of the babies side by side and whispering soothing words to both of our little ones. I placed my hands on his shoulder, thankful for his help before going to carry the other baby to breastfeed.I settled into the nearby rocking chair, cradling our second baby close, and chuckled softly. “They like having a lot of attention, don’t they?”He nodded, his gaze shifting between our babies. “They do,” he said, and then smiling softly, he continued ” They are just like their mama, always wanting all of my attention,”“What do you mean?” I pouted, “I definitely do not disturb like this kids,”“Whatever you say, darling, whatever you say,” he responded and kissed my forehead. “They took after their father, not me,” I protested. “I was a sweet little girl growing up and never cried over nothing,” I said proudly.“Even that statement sounds like a lie,” he said cockil
BLUE’S POV.“Hi, what brought you here, this early? I hope you are okay,” I said to Emily as soon as I walked into the office where she was. I noticed she seemed uncomfortable and bothered about something.“Good morning, Blue,” she greeted, “I am sorry for disturbing you but there is something that I need you to see,” “What is that ?” I asked, curious.“It does not look like much at first sight but I think it holds the answers we have been looking for and hopefully it will help us trace the people who experimented on Alex,” Emily said, then unzipped her backpack and brought out some drawings with strange drawing and a green book which looked like something I have seen before. “Where did you get that book from?” I asked while pointing at it. “My brother gave it to me, he said Alex had lent it to him before his death,” she paused studying my reaction, and then continued, “At first glance, it looks like it has nothing to do with anything that has been happening lately and just any regu
BLUE’S POV. “Sabrina, Sabrina,” I called out, turning around in the darkness, the place was void and empty and I had been calling her number for what felt like hours even though it was just a couple of minutes. “Sabrina,” I screamed. “Stop being a coward and fucking answer me, Sabrina,” The atmosphere changed and I immediately knew that Sabrina was nearby. “Stop shouting I can hear you quite alright, I am not deaf,” Sabrina said in a soft sing-song manner. “Then what took you so long to answer me? Cause I would have sworn you were going deaf,” I spat in anger.“Easy there now Child, your anger is too much and we don't like it when. People visit our arena with that much anger, it disrupts the balance of my realm,” she said calmly. The way she sounded calmly made me even more angry.“What do you want Child,” she asked softly, “I am guessing I already know why judging from your anger but I would like to hear you speak for yourself,” “Why did you not inform me earlier, you said you w
EMILY’S POV. I walked up very early in the morning clutching tightly the bag which contained Alex’s drawing and potentially the evidence we needed. I heard the bag tightly throughout the time, afraid that it might disappear or someone would come to steal it from me. I needed to speak with Blue as soon as possible and I went into the shower for a long bath to calm my tired nerves. I got out of the shower and dried my hair when I noticed something was missing. I looked around and the bag was nowhere to be found. I started to panic. Had someone broken into my house when I was bathing? I quickly searched the entire house when I saw Nathan, my younger brother holding the paper in his hands and the other scattered on the ground.“Nathan, what are you doing ?” I shouted at him which startled him. He turned to look at me and immediately he saw my angry expression and said “I am so sorry Emily,” he asked. “What the hell is wrong with you,” I scolded, while arranging all the paper together
EMILY’S POV. “Don’t even try to lie to me, Emily, I have known you long enough to know when something is bothering you,” Veronica replied, looking at me intensely.“Nothing is on my mind. I am fine,” I responded while wiping my hands dry. “Is it about Alex, because if it is, you know you can talk to me,” I responded. The mention of Alex, felt like she put a dagger through my heart and I could feel the intensity of the pain I had been trying so desperately to avoid and I started crying again. Veronica walked up to me and started hugging me and patting my back. “Is okay sweetie?” he whispered into my ears as I cried into her shoulders, “let it all out?” I sobbed uncontrollably into her arms for what felt like forever. “I don't know if I would ever stop to feel this pain?” I sniffed and I lifted myself from her warm hug to look at her. “I don't know if this pain would ever go away, Veronica. It hurt too much,”“I understand you,” she said as she tucked a loose strand of my hair be
