“What were you doing?” I asked my sister. I was on my way to call on Rosa so that we would go and do whatever she said she wanted to do at home, after waiting for so long in the room for her.
I was almost approaching the door when I heard the voices. I was taken aback that Nora would want to tell Rosa about our parents when she knows how much I'm trying to make her stay with me. What is she trying to do? ruin my life? Send Rosa scurrying away in fear even before I win her heart over?
I had barged into the room on time to stop whatever she was about to say with my heartbreak when I saw the frightened look on Rosa’s face. It broke me knowing I would be the one to cause her such fear but I had to do what I could just to make sure she doesn't hear anything that has to do with my parents.
They were a nightmare I want to forget happened even though it killed me. Only that I didn't have the power to ext
Kimberly PoVI took the last remaining step to her and crushed her to me in a big hug. She squirmed for a while and then she stopped and held me crying into my shoulders. I felt shitty using her weakness, our weakness against her but I had to do anything. She hated me. That was evident, but I couldn't bear it. I loved when she smiled, laughed did anything, or even smacked me across the face but this was beyond me. Rejection.She extracts herself slowly her teary bleary eyes being into my clouded ones. This was a risk I knew was grave. Even if I tried to calm her so that I could reason with the I couldn't resist when she was like this.Her hand came up and cupped my face in hers. “Please don't ever do that again. You scared me so much”“I swear I would never try that ever again. I messed up and I do a lot when I'm angry but I shouldn't have raised my voice at you. I'm so sorry my love”She nodded and leaned
Kimberly POV“What the fuck are you doing here?” I careened the minute I opened the door.“Leo, who is that? Are you now talking to yourself? Weirdo!”“I'm coming sweetie” she was still in the bedroom.“I just thought I could check on her...Also, I've not seen my mate so I thought to check if she was here” I didn't believe him. I have the ability to know when someone was lying and right now I knew he is. But why? He has been acting very strange lately.First, we fought at the restaurant coz he thinks I'm taking hasty decisions to reunite with my mate. I was bloody angry as hell because he was the last person to expect to say that to me.He knew how long I'd waited and searched until now that the moon goddess decided to give her to me and then he is not on my side. I can't explain what is wrong with him and why he suddenly thinks she's a threat to us since she's human.
Kimberly POVTravelHe didn't say much to us as we entered, just shared a look with Nora still standing where he was when we entered. I took a fast excuse from him and ran inside to pick up something I had dropped, and splashed water on my face before I came out ready to leave with him.I hugged Nora who seemed emotional at us leaving her alone. That's what happens when you get used to seeing people around and then they would want to leave. Even though for a day, you would feel their absence.“Make sure you come back on time Brother, and make sure you are married by the time you get back,” Nora called after us. I smiled and waved off at her silly comment.The car doors slid up for me to enter and I jumped in before he graciously wedded in still bearing a vague expression.I pushed my hair behind my ears and graced him with a smile as the car pulled away.“Are you mad at me?”He look
Kimberly POV“You should stop sneaking up on me, you scared me!” I shrieked and picked up the phone.“I will call you back Nora,” I said into the phone and cut it.I regarded him to decipher if he heard any of the things I said but his expression was hazy and vague so I couldn't tell. “Did you just climb up?” I clearly asked.He furrowed his brow and removed my robe he was wearing “Why did you ask?”“Just wants to know. Is it bad for me to ask you questions?” I was bickering but I needed to know I'm not going to put Nora in trouble again.“If you're asking if I heard what you were discussing with Nora then I will tell you it's waste of time...I know everything she does even though I chose to ignore most of it”“Well?” I drawled shifting off the bed to give his bulky self room.“I know she's keeping her boyfrie
Kimberly POV“Dad!” I cried and scooted away in fear. “You startled me” I scratched my ear, my face morphing into a half-smile.He grinned and observed me closely “Something tells me you have been avoiding me. Should I be worried?”I made a surprise face “Avoiding you? Of course not, Dad. Why would I do that?”“I asked myself the same thing until I realized you have no reason to avoid me”“Yea” I went closer, swinging my arms abnormally. I was working hard to steady myself but it wasn't working. Either he had me sorted out or he was trying to unnerve me. Either way, I wasn't helping matters.“I had hoped we would see last night when I came in. But the young man said you were asleep”“Yea I was. Dad he's name is Leonard” I informed him perchance he forgot.He scoffed “ I couldn't care less if it was Toad”
Kimberly POVOuting to the wood“He doesn't bite, just go and talk with him man to man. I'm into you already go along. I have to speak to my daughter too” Mom shooed him with a wink. My eyes nearly expunged from my socket when she did that.While he walked out, I turned my attention to Mom “That was so gross”“He's my in-law so I don't know what you are talking about”“ So what do you want to talk about? I hope it's not to give me another lecture on__” I faltered, my mind going to the question she had asked me earlier on in the kitchen. Mom can't be so cruel to want to ask me about a man when the food I just ate hasn't digested.“So we have to go shopping next week for your wedding gown and other things,” she said with glee and jumped out of her chair to my side to crush me to herself. “I told you, baby, when the time is right you would attract just what you deserve”
Adrian POV“How can we just leave just like that? That wasn't part of the plan” my mate whined from the bed she was laying. She was absolutely correct, but this is unexpected and I have to get back to the pack on time since Leonard, my pack’s Alpha isn't around.Normally the Alpha and the park do not just leave the park like that without one person staying behind to oversee the activities of the pack or at least appoint someone, among the elders to do so. The gamma who Leonard had placed in charge was now on the battlefield leaving the entire pack vulnerable. This is the opportunity enemies seek to use and attack any pack.“I'm sorry love, but you know this is not my fault. I have to be in park first thing tomorrow morning to make sure that I handle this matters before the return of my Alpha”.She observed me through her dark hooded lashes for a long time without saying anything whilst I struggled with my tie in front o
Kimberly POVI looked at the mirror for the umpteenth time still not believing my eyes that I was getting married today. I don't know how to feel but I kind of felt bad that my best friend won't be here to see me get married. From what Leo had told me, this was for the pack and the right thing to do, so I wasn't complaining. Kinda.“Awnn, babe you look so gorgeous! Now I want to get married” Nora who had come in last night gushed as she looked at me from my side. She had been the one to do my makeup and my hair now it remained my dress before I would be a complete bride.“Thanks, babe. I'm feeling a little jittery about this. Do you think this is the best decision? I mean considering the rush and all that?” I gestured around with my hands, my mind tumbling in diverse directions.“It's the best thing you could ever have done for my brother Kim, I don't know for yourself because I'm not in you. But the vibrati
