Even though I'm almost losing my mind with worry, I keep telling myself that I have to be patient. She's not dead. She just passed out. She'll be okay, eventually.

I crouch and stretch my hand through the bar hoping I can at least hold her hand from where she's lying on the floor. Maybe that would give her some kind of comfort but my hand couldn't reach her. She's a bit far away from my reach

Being in that position and now closer to the dead body makes me realize the stench in the cell is a bit bearable from when I was standing. I am angry. Boiling with rage, even. Like how could they lock her in a cell with a dead body for hours? If I hadn't shown up would she have spent the night in that same position, beside a decomposing corpse!?

Neal said they were going for breakfast when it happened. That means she's been locked inside that cell for about fifteen hours without food or drink

"Fucking hell! Somebody is going to pay for this!" I unconsiously swear out loud.

    'Ella said we would only be able to tell if she had conceived after two weeks. Could it be Millicent is inexperienced and didn't know what she was talking about, after all?' I thought with my eyes fixed on Ash who is dead to the world. I bring out my phone then, to call Anders, the healer we brought with us from Denmark. Anders comes from a family of healers. Apart from being a medical doctor, Anders, like his ancestors, is also a herbalist, who practices healing through the use of herbs."Hello..." He answers the call with a voice that sounds like he's already in bed, sleeping."Are you sleeping, already?" I ask as I check my wristwatch. "C'mon man, it's just past nine!" I add in mock disappointment. "I'm a healer Eric, not a warrior. What the fuck do you want? Is there an emergency?" I can picture him rolling his eyes upward in exasperation like he always does each time I take a jibe at him."Kinda. Can you quickly drive down to Council Yard Penitentiary?" I say and immediately he

    "So it's true then? She's indeed pregnant?" I ask for further confirmation "Of course she is. Her palm is so pale like she has been drained of all her blood and judging by how rapid her pulse is beating, I'll say she's about two months gone or thereabout... Wait, you already know she's pregnant!?" He exclaims, picking up the IV bag Millicent left on the cabinet as if he's just seeing it for the first time."This is used for..." He's about to start explaining when I interrupt him."The Yard's doctor already checked on her so I know what it's used for. I called you here because I wanted to be sure about her diagnosis...You said her pregnancy is about two months but is there a chance that you might be wrong? I mean, how can she be two months pregnant when the first time they mate was three days ago?" I ask, frowning at him in concentration."Three days ago?" He scoffs and mockingly laughs like he has never heard anyone speak such rubbish before in his life."Did Thor tell you that?" He

    "You should try and eat something. You've not had anything to eat since morning. Take this, it will help settle your queasy stomach." I say, handing her a small packet of pretzels. "Okay, thanks..." She says and collects the snacks from me. She opens the packet and I watch as she nibbles on it until she finally finishes the whole pack."I'm sorry I couldn't come on time today. I had a very busy day but be sure I'll come to see you tomorrow with a sumptuous meal. How about that?" I ask and she nods with a smile. I give her a bottle of water then. After she has taken her fill, she puts the lid back on the bottle."Ash, can you tell me what happened this morning between you and the inmate that died?" I ask gently, picking my words so she doesn't feel guilty or bad about herself."According to some of the guards, you attacked her on your way to the mess hall for just no reason.""Wait, what!? But that's a lie! That's a big lie! Why would I attack someone I don't know for no reason? And

    It happened all of a sudden. I wasn't really paying attention to the road because my mind was preoccupied. That was why I wasn't able to see what I hit or should I say what hit me. I only saw a blur. A furry, huge, powerful, and very fast blur.The impact my car made with the beast was jarring but I managed to maintain control of the car in the little time that it took me to swerve to the right and straight into the woods, where I smashed into a big tree.I feel stunned. It takes me a couple of seconds to gather my wits about me. The moment my head feels clear enough, my mind screams,'ambush! You need to get moving, Eric! This might be a very dangerous situation!' And as if realization just hit me, I repeated to myself; 'this might be a very dangerous situation, Eric. You need to call Thor and warn him that the pack is under attack!' I look at the passenger's seat where I left my phone and realize it's no longer there. It might have fallen off the chair when the car smashed into t

    "Ughhhhhhh hhhhh..." My pain-filled growl rends through the night as the beast's teeth violently clamp down on my bones, ripping the flesh off my arms.While he's furiously chewing on my arm, I raise my right hand with the karambit still clutched in it and slice its throat in one swift motion, from the jugular to its left ear. For a moment the beast looks stunned as its neck starts sputtering warm blood all over my face. Its mouth opens wide enough to howl but only an ugly sputtering sound emits from it before it finally falls on me with blood still gushing from its gaping wound.It shifts back into its human form then and I push him away from on top of me with a groan. My arm hurts like hell but I do my best to ignore the pain and quickly spring to my feet. It seems the wolf I just killed was the fastest in their camp since the rest are still some couple of feet away from us.I removed the karambit from my finger with my injured hand and used the other hand to tear a strip of cloth f

    I know too well the burning pain that feels as if you have molten lava coursing through your veins when a vampire bites or you're injected with the venom. All of us on Thor's team are all familiar with that horrible pain. The bad thing about training with vampire venom every time is that we experience the pain each time we inject the venom into ourselves even though not as much as when we first started. The good thing is that, unlike others who can be killed by this poison, we are immune to it. We'd experimented with the venom over and over again until we were sure the venom could never kill us no matter the quantity we injected. Even though he's a hybrid, I'm still expecting to feel the now very much familiar pain coursing through the network of veins inside my body but apart from the slight pain I felt when he first bit my neck, no other pain follows. Instead, something far worse happens. I became paralyzed. I can't move any part of my body, well, except my eyeballs and my mind

    My body tensed up the moment I heard the message Ella passed to me from Victoria. My steps falter but I manage to maintain my composure"Danger? I don't understand, how come he's in danger? Weren't they working together at the gate? How the hell did it happen?" I rapidly fired questions at Ella as if she could give me more information than what Victoria told her."According to what Victoria told me, they turned on the alarm and also called immediately after they saw what was happening from inside the gate's watch room. She said he was surrounded by rogues "They saw he was surrounded? How come he was surrounded? Why the hell was he outside the gate all by himself in the first place!? How could they allow him to go by himself? Rogues move around in packs and I know he wouldn't be foolish enough to challenge them all by himself!..." I continually talk as I drive like a bat out of hell. Ella doesn't answer any of my questions. I look towards her and see the look on her face. I understa

    Eric's POVMy head aches badly. It feels heavy as if it's been stuffed full of cotton wads. My eyes feel like they're glued to my cheek. When I'm finally able to open my eyes, the first person I see, dozing in a chair in front of my bed is Thor. He looks so tired with dark shadows around his eyes like he's not been sleeping. Thor is borderline obsessive about eating healthy and looking good. I wonder what happened to him now. Why has he lost so much weight? Why is he looking so tired and unkempt?My eyes roam around to see the rest of the team standing and sitting everywhere inside the room. My eyes met with Ella's and she cries out in excitement, startling Thor awake..."He's awake! Oh my god! He's finally awake..." She continues saying, her eyes brimming with unshed tears as she rushes to my sideThey all crowd around my bed, looking down at me like I'm something precious that just dropped from the sky. It's childish but I'm kinda enjoying being the center of their attention, espec

And remember, your best man is closely behind."I happily smile and nod at our guests as I walk behind the old man hobbling on his walking stick.I can't believe that the Council Chairman himself is going to officiate our wedding!? He's already so old but still makes the time. Today sure is full of pleasant surprises.

    I look at my Patek Philippe Nautilus watch before getting up to start dressing up. Just as I put on my tuxedo jacket, someone knocks on my door."Come in," Eric answers Timothy enters, already dressed for the occasion."The guests have arrived. The ceremony will begin soon." He saysI nod and reply,"We're ready. We'll be out soon." He nods and leavesEric finishes buttoning his tux before turning to me. He looks at me critically as he brushes something off my satin lapel and straightens my bowtie."Hmm..." He says satisfactorily before taking a step back. "Hair– on point. Skin– flawless. Tux– immaculate. Shoes– nice pair, they really compliment your outfit. All in all, you look good, man. Your bride will fall in love with you all over again."I smile at his compliment."What about the ring? Do you have it?" I ask to be sure he hasn't forgotten."I have it right here." He replies with a nod, patting on the area it is resting inside his tux. I exhale and nod"Then shall we?" He

    Instead of going back to sleep like I tell him, he groans and slumps back into bed."Ugh!... C'mon, don't be a bitch about this."I scoff, looking at him in disbelief."Who's the bitch here? You're obviously tired and need to rest. I'm allowing you to do that but you can't see my good intentions." I guess he thinks I was being sarcastic when I apologized for disturbing his sleep.He sighs and gets out of bed then go to the wet bar. There, he gets a bottle of water and gulps it down in one go. "Now I'm awake..." He says before asking me, "Water?""Yeah, sure," I replyHe hands me the water before going to sit on the sofa."Alright, tell me about your anxiety attack.""I can't sleep. I thought I mentioned that earlier." ''Why can't you sleep?""How the hell am I supposed to know? I just can't!" I know I sounded defensive right now. That's because I know this conversation would end up with him poking fun at me."I wouldn't have found sleep difficult if I was at Alpha's mansion. My m

    Two weeks laterThor's POV 1:10 am! I glare in disbelief at the digital clock on my bedside drawer as if it's its fault that time chooses to be moving at a snail's pace today of all days. It was 12:49 the last time I checked, I can't believe that only nineteen minutes had gone by since then."Ugh!" I growl and slump back in bed as I recall all the advice I got yesterday from all the females around me. (that did not include my mate, mind you. I haven't spoken to her in two days because of some Howell's wedding tradition)"You should go to bed early, Alpha," Lily said as they were about to leave for Night Howlers Pack. (They are Ash's maids and matron of honor.)"Yes, you should." Carla chipped in, nodding, before I could ask Lily why she wanted me to go to bed early. "Poor sleep can lead to breakouts, you know?" "Breakouts?" I asked, looking at both of them with interest."Yes, breakout. Believe me, Alpha, you don't want that..." Clarita replied, looking appalled as she shook her he

    I step out of the lobby's revolving door and frantically look around me. I don't see him anywhere but his essence is stronger. He's definitely here."Ma'am..." A voice questioningly calls and I turn around to see Jeremy, one of my security details that comes from my Dad. I wonder where he sprang from? "Have you seen the Alpha– I mean my mate?" I say, handing him my backpack."No, ma'am, I haven't." He replies, looking in the parking lot's direction."Yeah, maybe he's just arriving," I say and hurry towards the place. When the parking lot becomes visible, I smile when I see him leaning on his car reading a book. Immediately, he turned in my direction and grinned as if he knew I was coming. I know it's because he smells my essence.I run, speedily closing the gap between us, and then jump into his arms, tightly wrapping myself around him like a koala bear hugging a tree."Oh, hi, monkey." He says, chuckling.I laugh, slightly pulling away from him "Hello, monkey's husband," I say. "

    Twelve weeks later"Prom is more than a dance, Miss Reynolds. It is also used to celebrate and honor students who excel in academics, athletics, and extracurricular activities..." Mrs Jones, my homeroom teacher, lectures me. "Even though you're only spending this term with us, your excellent performance has made you popular among the teachers. You're also loved by not just your peers but also your juniors. Even though you're a new student, they voted for you to be on the prom court, and with what I've been hearing on the grapevine about you, I'm sure they would vote for you to be this year's Prom Queen. Now, won't they be disappointed if they find out you don't want to be part of the event? It would be a shame if..."'Would it? Aren't you over-exaggerating?' I think as I continue to listen to her drone on and on. Contrary to what she's been saying. As far as I know and can see, no one truly cares about anyone amongst my peers in Apex Academy.

    "You didn't have your wolf and you weren't aware of my existence. I just recently figured it out myself. That was why I said earlier that a lot of things about our bond recently became clear to me. Even though I was made aware of our mate bond, I didn't know it was such a big deal. Uncle Elias also didn't see it as such; otherwise, he wouldn't have gotten me a girl on my birthday. Only The Seer knew. Knowing he's one of our number one fans, I guessed he also didn't make a big deal out of me being with other women before I met you because he knew the connection between us was not complete. You were too young. You were six years old when I was sixteen..." It suddenly feels as if I've been slapped in the face with the difference in our age. Damnit! Why didn't I think about that before!? Now that he called my attention to it, I feel I've been insensitive. To think I was eight years old when he was eighteen! An eight-year-old child is too young to shift to their wolves and has no busines

    "About us..." He replies, and my body stiffens. "About what happened before you left for Hill-backside." "But I thought everything was fine now. We are fine now so why do we still need to discuss that?" I say and want to stand up, but from his lap, he prevents me, holding me in place. "Please..." He says, looking at me soulfully I exhale "I just don't see any reason why we should talk about that. We're fine now, aren't we?... I love you. You love me. Nothing else should matter except that." I say, not knowing if I should confess to him my real reason for not wanting to discuss that matter. Should I tell him I'm afraid to hear what he wants to say? I'm afraid I might not be able to bear it if he tells me how he manipulated his way around our mate bond? Should I let him know I would rather pretend Delilah never happened than risk hearing about her and not be able to forgive him out of jealousy. How would I let him know that I just want to forget the bad memories. I don't want to di

At least now I know without doubt that something is indeed bothering him.He stands when he becomes aware of my presence."Can we have a few words?" He asks seriously and my heart thumps again.I nod. Few words about what? What could be bothering him this much? I wonder as I walk towards him. He doesn't need to say another word before I know what he's about to discuss is very serious. It's written all over his face. "I sensed something was bothering you. What do you want to talk about?" Even though I asked, I dread his reply and hurriedly add"Don't tell me! I don't want to know...""You don't!" He exclaims. "But we really need to...""Okay– but please not right now!..." I plead.
