KEITH’S POV

“Alpha, I have handled everything. The cops won’t bother you anymore but….”

“But?”

“They are adamant about not letting anyone meet Melinda before she gives her statement.”

“That’s fine. What about Melinda? How is she?”

“I heard the doctors saying that she has regained consciousness.”

“That is great…” I took off before he could even complete his sentence; desperate to see her with my own eyes. I rushed to the lift but the doors closed before could enter.

Cursing under my breath, I made my way to the staircase. Taking two steps at a time, I reached the second floor at the same time as the lift.

My heart pounded in anticipation as I hurried towards the general section. I was about to take the turn that led to Melinda’s ward when Chief Edmund blocked my path.

Pressing his baton against my chest, he spoke in a harsh tone, “Didn’t I tell you that you can’t meet Melinda until she has given

    The door of the ward swung open, and the chief stepped out. Eyeing me with his piercing gaze, he stated, “You are one lucky b*****d! In don’t know what you have done to deserve that girl, but you better take care of her.” He pointed his forefingers towards his eyes and then at me. “I will be keeping a close watch on you.”“Can I see her now?”“Hmm… sure… We are done…” The chief’s gaze lingered on me for a moment, his eyebrows furrowed and then he walked away, shaking his head.Melinda scrambled out of the bed the moment I entered the ward. Pulling out the patch on her wrist recklessly, she rushed over and held me by my collar. “How could you Keith? How could you hide such a huge fact from me?”My lips parted, but no words left them. I could give a hundred excuses, but the fact was that I had hurt her. I was the reason there were tears in her eyes.Pressing

    Melinda’s POV‘I never want to see your face again, Keith Rivers. I am better off without you.’ The words I spoke to Keith weighed heavily on my conscience. Though I was angry, I shouldn’t have used such harsh words.Biting my lower lip, I projected my thoughts towards Corel, ‘He won’t take my words seriously, would he?’Corel remained silent for a long moment before sighing, ‘Given Keith’s personality, it is totally possible. Didn’t you see his eyes when you said those words? He looked so hurt and angry.’“What am I going to do now, Corel?” I muttered, tearing my hair. “What if he refuses to talk to me again?”‘What is the point of agonising over it? If you are really feeling guilty, call him and apologise.’A long, deep sigh escaped my lips. Corel was right. The best course of action was to talk to Keith. Drawing in a long breath, I grabbed my phone and dialled his number.Beep… beep…beep…beep… The call disconnected without even ringing. My eyebrows settled with a deep frown as I di

    Keith’s POV “Alpha Bridgeton,” I flashed him a tight-lipped smile. “What a pleasant surprise.” My jaws clenched with the effort of trying to restrain my temper. “I didn’t expect you to receive me at the airport given your busy schedule.”“I had to come.” His lips spread into a wide grin as he clapped my back. “After all, we have a magical pact binding us in an inseparable bond.”“And what is with you calling Alpha Bridgeton?” He said, holding the door open for me. “Just call me Uncle Alex as usual.”To the bystanders, we might have looked like close kins having a light-hearted conversation when in fact he was warning me. It was his way of telling me that I couldn’t escape my fate.Even his gesture of receiving me and holding the car door open for me was his way of showing that I was practically his prisoner till I was in Queensland. I had no choice but to play along, at least until I had found a way out.Getting into the car, I tried to say in a sincere tone, “Thank you so much for

    Melinda’s POV “Give me your hand, Melinda.” Kain said as he walked inside and sat on the chair placed opposite to my bed.“What?” I blurted out, a bit startled by his sudden request.“Why do you look like you have seen a ghost?” His lips curled into a sweet smile as he reached over; lifting my right hand and cocooning between his, “I am just asking you for your hand, not your heart.”“Umm… It’s just that… I am not comfortable.” I stuttered, trying to pull my hand back. Why couldn’t Kramen and Kain understand? Why couldn’t they just stay away?All these little actions; everything we said or did together was going to haunt me my entire life; no matter whom I chose.I was trying my best to keep myself from falling deeper into the spiral of emotions but these two were making it more and more difficult.He held on to my hand

    Keith’s POV “Don’t tell me that bastard has still not woken up.” Houston’s voice sounded and the next moment, splash! Cool liquid struck my face with great force. My fingers clenched behind my back and I held my breath; hoping that they wouldn’t notice I was awake. “What is wrong with him?” My cheeks were pinched together and my face lifted. “I have seen him undergo rigorous training. He is not the kind to be knocked out for long by something as lame as hypnotics.” “Do you think he is pretending to be unconscious, Houston?” Another voice sounded; this one slightly more hoarse that Houston. “We will find out in a moment.” There was a metallic click, and something cold pressed against my right cheek. ‘Damn Keith! Is it what I am thinking it is?’ Jake’s anxious voice seeped into my head. ‘Yes, it is a blade, more precisely a silver blade. Now, keep quite and help me stay frozen.’ With that I blocked his tho

    Keith’s POV I groaned as a sudden jerk made me lunge forward. My head came in contact with something soft and I was pulled back again.“Careful! Are you trying to kill him?” A furious voice sounded to my left as my head was rested against something firm but warm. “Drive slower….”A groan left my lips; my brain grappling to process what was going on. What had happened before I fainted? Why was I in a car?The memories of being hit in the head and then being saved by a woman slammed into my head. With a soft groan, I cracked open my eyes; blinking as the bright light blinded me.“You are awake…” Something soft caressed my hair. “How are you feeling? Does it hurt too much?”It took a moment for it to register in that I was resting against the shoulder of a girl. When it did, I pulled away immediately; moaning as a sharp stab seared through my forehead, t

    Melinda’s POV “Kramen, you are finally back.” I rushed over to greet him at the doorstep. “While you were gone, Keith had called. He is totally fine.”“Is he now?” Kramen snapped, shrugging his shoulders with a nonchalant expression. “I thought we had finally gotten rid of him.”“Kramen! Don’t say things just to hurt me.” I grabbed his shoulders and looked into his eyes. “You know you don’t mean that. If something had really happened to him, you would be the one who regrets the most.”“You care only about him, don’t you?” He shrugged off my hands from his shoulders and snorted. “Kain and I are just something to be used and discarded, right?”“It is not like that, Kramen.” I cupped his face. “I swear, I care about all three of you equally.”“If that is the case, I am sure you won’t mind me.” He grabbed my shoulders and pushed me against the wall. Placing both his arms on either side of me, he bit my lower lip and then started kissing me roughly.“Kramen!” I shouted; pushing him away.

    Keith’s POV “Here, let me help you.” Veronika said as she climbed onto the bed and started unwrapping the bandage around my head. “Did you think about my offer?”“No doubt it is a great proposal, but I would hate to implicate the Gibson Pack.”“That is not for you to decide,” Veronika stated, a hint of annoyance seeping into her voice. “I have already asked my father. He has agreed to help you.”“Still…. Ouch!” I winced as she pressed the region next to my wound a bit too harshly.“If you don’t agree, I will ask my men to bundle you up and throw you back in that dungeon.” She snapped, narrowing her eyes at me. “Are you still going to reject my offer?”“No…” I shook my head; struggling to keep my tone serious despite her animated expression. “I wouldn’t dare.”“Good….” Her lips curled into a smile as she applied the medicine given by the healer. “I have to say that the ointment is effective. Your wound will be fully healed in three days. Why don’t you stay in this apartment until then

    “Alpha Keith,” the manager greeted, hurrying over to bow in front of him. “If you had told me that you were coming, I would have made better arrangements.” This stupid woman, she was pitching for her downfall and honestly, after what she did to Aldwin; I didn’t feel like saving her, either. So, I stood there, arms crossed over my chest, waiting to watch how the drama unfolds. The way she was looking at me flared Keith’s temper further. He gnashed his teeth. “That is not the answer to my question.” “My apologies, Alpha.” Mrs. Stellar’s face flushed. “We didn’t mean to cause you inconvenience.” I clicked my tongue. This woman, she still didn’t understand what Keith wanted to know. The way Keith was glaring at her, I was afraid he would shift and rip her to bits. The woman must have felt it too. I could almost hear her teeth chattering with fear. I was about to talk to Keith when Luna Aspen spoke up. “Please don’t blame her, Alpha Keith. It is all that guard’s fault. Mrs. Stellar was

    Melinda’s POV “Where are Keith and Kain?” I asked, walking into the hall. “Why are they taking so much time to get ready? We are just going for shopping.”Karmen rolled his eyes, his face lighting up. “This is nothing, Melinda. Back in the days when we went to college, Keith and Kain would wake up at least an hour before to get ready.” He chuckled, “They would try out so many outfits before finalising that by the time they were done we would all be fed up.”“Kain is the kind of person who would do such a thing but Keith…” My eyebrows shot to my forehead. “I can’t imagine…”“He was the worst of us. Then again, all the girls flocked around us mainly because of his looks.” His lips pressed into a thin line. “No wonder Jessica fell so hard….” He slapped his hand to his mouth and his eyes widened. “I am sorry… I didn’t mean to stir up unpleasant memories.”“It’s okay, Kramen.” I drew closer and took his hand in mine. “Actually, I have been meaning to talk to you. But, every time I tried,

    Melinda’s POV “Whether it is a few steps or an entire lifetime, you can always rely on me to carry you.” His words dripped in my ears like honey, melting my insides. I really liked this new version of Keith, who was bold, proactive and impatient.Resting my head against my palms, I looked at him, studying his features. His eyes were sunken and his cheeks had shrunken a bit, but that made his jaw bone more prominent, adding a devilish charm to his appearance.“What is this?” His words pulled me out of my thoughts. My eyebrows furrowed as I took the piece of paper from his hand. Why did it look so familiar?As I gazed at the paper, words started appearing one by one. ‘For the past five thousand years, I have lived my entire life with a deeply set prejudice against werewolves. I always thought that werewolves were selfish, ambitious, and cold-hearted, but you managed to change my worldview.While seeing your memories, I realised that werewolves are capable of being honourable and selfle

    Keith’s POV “Please tell me that I am not dreaming,” my voice cracked as I looked into her deep, beautiful eyes. “Please tell me that you are really here.”Her lips curved into a wry smile, and her mesmerising eyes sparkled with unshed tears. “I am really here, Keith. I am fine.”I raised my hand to stroke her hair but then dropped it; too afraid that she might turn out to be just an illusion. “Can you tell me that you are here once more?” I swallowed hard. “This seems so surreal. I am afraid that you will vanish like a cloud of smoke at any moment.”“I love you, Keith.” She said in a voice thick with emotions and drew closer. Tears trickled down her cheeks as she cupped my face, raised herself on her toes and pressed her lips to mine. “Does this seem real enough?”I shook my head as I grabbed her arm and tugged, causing her to slam against my chest. Wrapping my arms around her in a tight hug, I buried my face in the crook of her neck, whispering, “I missed you so much, Melinda. I m

    Melinda’s POV I was drowning in the sea of darkness with nothing to anchor me. There was nothing to keep me afloat, just a sense of emptiness; an eternal void.“Mellie…” A voice pierced through the haze. There was something about that voice that was deeply comforting. All of a sudden, the emptiness stopped bothering me and I relaxed.“Melinda.” The voice sounded again. “How long are you going to sleep? I really want to see the outside world.”My breath caught in my throat. Why did the voice voice so familiar? Fuck! NO! This was impossible. It couldn’t be….“Corel…” My voice came out as a throaty whisper.‘Yes, sleepyhead.’ Her voice was extraordinarily enthusiastic. ‘Miss me?’‘Am I dead?’ I thought, groaning as my stiff neck made a cracking sound. ‘Is that why I can hear you?’‘You will find out if you open your eyes.’“But, I don’t want to,” I mumbled. “This darkness is so comforting. I don’t have to worry about anything.”‘That is true… But if you don’t open your eyes, you can’t s

    Keith’s POV In the elegantly decorated banquet hall, a large crowd had gathered; alphas of important packs, their families, the council members, and several other important members of the pack. We even had pacts and deals with some of them.There was once a time I was quite close to many of them. But, today, I felt alone despite the large gathering. All these ties and relationships seemed futile. They were all cheering and applauding me for my achievements, but my heart; it felt empty. There was no warmth in there, just a sense of void.Clink! Clink! Clink! Clink! My mother struck the spoon against her glass to draw our attention. “Alpha Rivers would like to raise a toast to everyone.”My father stood up and held up his glass. “Over the past few months, we have been through a lot. But, thanks to the diligent efforts of my sons and your constant support, everything is back to where it should be.” His eyes sparked with pride as he continued, “Conspiracies have been thwarted, enemies ar

    Keith’s POV I sat beside the window, watching the sun rise; slowly scattering the darkness and casting a faint orange glow over everything. The flowers in the garden swayed in the light breeze, creating a peaceful rhythm.Something about the serenity of the garden irked me. The flowers, the breeze, the rising sun all seemed to be mocking me. With an annoyed grunt, I drew the curtains and started pacing in the room again, my gaze drifting to the door every few moments. When was Oleander going to return with Melinda?With each passing moment, my anxiety rose higher and higher on the scale. If this continued for some more time, I would probably explode. I increased my pace further, as if walking faster would help me reach Melinda quicker.“Justin!” Kramen gasped, and he sat up with a start. This distracted me from the spiral of anxiety and I hurried to check on Kramen.“Justin,” He muttered again, looking around anxiously, “Keith… Where is Justin… He is a traitor… He tried to kill Mom a

    Keith’s POV “Dr. Stelsar,” I called out, hurrying over to him. “How is my brother?”He froze as his gaze met mine. The color drained from his face, and his lips pressed into a thin line. My heart sank when he placed his hand on my shoulder and shook his head. Everything seemed to slow down and my mind blanked out.“I am sorry, Alpha. We managed to save Master Kramen’s life, but I am not sure whether he will come out of the coma. Silver has combined with the blood cells of his body, inhibiting his healing. Unless the process is triggered again, he might never wake up.”“It’s fine. It’s okay,” The sense of dread that had formed in my heart eased, escaping my lips as a forced gust of wind, “As far as he is not dead and there is still a chance.” My eyes reddened with unshed tears and my voice got choked up. “Just tell me what I can do, Dr. Stelsar. Do you need any special herbs or medicines or maybe I can fly in some specialist? Give me the word and it will be done.”“I don’t want to gi

    Melinda’s POV “We have done whatever we can, Miss Spencer. I am sorry to say this, but he might never wake up.” The healer’s words rang in my ears as I watched Kramen’s still form. “Due to the excessive amount of silver in his system, he has stopped healing. If only the treatment wasn’t delayed for so long….”My chest clenched painfully, and I slumped to the chair. “This was all my fault. If I wasn’t so quick in accusing him, Keith wouldn’t have banished him from the pack. He would have been treated on time and he wouldn’t be lying lifeless like this.”Lifting Kramen’s hand, I pressed it to my cheek, “I am sorry Kramen for being such a shitty mate…. For not trusting you more… for not giving you a chance to explain everything properly…” A choked sob left my lips followed by a whimper. This was all I could do now; apologise…“Melinda…” A familiar voice sounded as Oleander placed her hand on my shoulder. “Are you alright?
