EMILY’S POV.I was already running late, I am supposed to be at Alex’s house every day by eight am and now it was already past ten o'clock, I should not have drunk too much last night but who could blame me, Alex had proven to be the worse patient I have ever had and hopefully I never come across people like him again. Every day he finds new ways to get on my nerves, and now today is not going to get any better since I was already Late for work. Patients like this make me question why I thought nursing was going to be fun. I hurried made my way to Alex's house and when I entered it was quiet for a while, which is pretty normal because Alex does not do much except stay in his room and read but I was walking to his room trying to compose a good reason why I was late today when I started hearing groaning and whining sound coming from the room. I hurried open the door to see Alex on the ground struggling.“What happened?” I asked concerned, quickly making my way to Alex’s side. He ignore
TROY’S POV. it has been five days, and no one, not even my maid Chloe, has mentioned seeing Freda. It’s a bit odd. I started wondering if Chloe was hiding something, and if she was, she was really good at it. I kept doing my paperwork, feeling uneasy about leaving Blue alone after the last incident. I use the office at my house more now.I continued the rest of my paperwork. When I heard a knock on the door, I immediately knew it was Blue. She seems to enjoy being around me a lot, especially now that my office is only a room away from hers. “Come in,” I said, lifting my face from my work.“Hi baby,” she said with a beautiful smile and stuck her face through the door “Are you busy,” “I can always create time for you, my love,” I responded. She came inside the room holding a tray with a teapot and a cup.“ I made you coffee, I figured you have been in this room for far too long, so I wanted to refill your coffee,” she said while placing it on the table. “That’s so sweet of you,” I
TROY’S POV. We arrived at the scene and met a gruesome sight, a badly bruised body of Freda lay on the ground, lifeless. Her once beautiful face was now covered with strange claw marks.I bent down to observe the body, noticing that the injuries could not have been caused by another werewolf. The marks were deep and different from the claws of a werewolf. The realization sent a chilling shiver down my spine.I closed her lifeless eyes, and the rest of the guards took her body away. I turned to Xena and asked, "What is going on?""I do not know, Alpha. This is so strange, I have never seen anyone so badly injured like that before," Xena responded, shaking his head."Who could have attacked her like this, Xena?" I pressed, my frustration and concern deepening.Xena shook his head, a troubled look in his eyes. "I do not know, Alpha. This is no ordinary attack. It is obvious that she was targeted by some strange creature.""This is not good news, Xena. It shows my pack is not as
ALEX POV. Ever since her last outburst, we have rarely spoken to each other and only said anything when it was absolutely necessary other than that, she just takes care of me and leaves when it is time. The argument has left us in an uncomfortable and awkward situation. “What is wrong?”Emily inquired,“‘Nothing,’ I shook my head in response. “‘Are you sure?’“‘Yes.’“‘Then why are you staring at me?’ she asked. ‘It’s kind of creepy, you know.’“I'm not staring at you,” I defended myself unaware that I had been looking at her for far too long. Now she is going to think I am a brat and a creep too. “So you are not only a creep but a liar too,” she said, shaking her head.“I'm not a liar, I just wasn't staring,” I said defensively. “No need to get all worked up,” she said with an amusing smile dancing on her lips. “I can see why you would be staring,” “What?” I replied, puzzled.“Well, I mean…” she trailed off, nodding slightly.“So you think you are pretty?” I asked.“Of course I
EMILY’S POV.I washed my face with water, letting out a sigh. I looked at my face in the mirror and I could hardly recognize myself, my eyes were red and swollen from crying. The sound of the running water was the only source of comfort I had.I hated Alex, I hated him so much, that I wished I never met him. He seems to enjoy causing me pain and I cussed him for that, for a moment I thought if I was kinder or nicer maybe he would treat me better, I was desperately trying to see the good in him but he just proved to be a piece of shit. I closed the tap and wiped my face with my towel, there was no point crying anymore. It was not going to save me anymore. I already lost my job, the only right thing to do is inform Blue about it. I knocked at the door and while I waited for her to open the door and took a quick look at my reflection in the window to make sure I looked presentable. I straighten my hair with my hand and let out a heavy sigh. “Hi Emily,” Blue greeted me with a wide smile
TROY’S POV. “How many men have we lost so far?” I sigh heavily and drop the paper on my desk. “Six of our men and one civilian, Alpha,” Xena answered.“And you are sure they were all killed by the same creature,” I asked “Yes Alpha, they seem to have the same kind of mark and they were killed in the same brutal way as Freda,” Xena explained.“This is getting out of hand, whatever strange beast that’s attacking us needs to be stopped,” I said and then got up from my chair. “Whatever least that is, it is very clever because up till now, no one knows what it looks like and how it's able to come into our pack and leave unnoticed,” “There have been rumors circulating around about what the beast look like,” Xena said.“Rumors? What kind of rumors,” I asked, rubbing my very tired eyes. “Some of the pack members say, it is thrice the size of a normal werewolf and it moves in such speed and agility different from that of our kind. Some even say it might be made by a witch, because the beas
BLUE’S POV. I“Alex, you still have not told me any good reasons why you do not like Nurse Emily,” I said.“I don’t want to talk about it,” Alex replied curtly, his eyes glued to the pages of his book, trying to avoid the conversation.“Come on, Alex,” I sighed, shaking my head. “There has to be a reason.”“I just don't like her, alright? What's so hard to understand?” Alex said defensively.“And you still have not told me why?” I sighed.“Maybe, because I don't want her to care for me any longer,”“So who do you want, uh? You don't like Emily and you also don't want any other person to take care of you,” I said, getting frustrated.“I can do things perfectly on my own, I don't need anyone to watch over me like I'm some kind of child,” “You can't even use your legs yet, Emily is only going to stay with you until you are fully healed. As soon as she is done with her service, you will never see her again,” I said.“I don't care,” Alex blurted out. “Really, Alex?” I replied, trying to
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
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
