CHAPTER 36ZACK’S POV. I was excited but not really excited. So the fool I have hated all along, even in my stormer state was my brother!How dare Kaine? Despite everything we’ve been through together as the only children of our late parents. I was angry and I knew my identity that moment. I wasn’t an ordinary human being, in fact I was a werewolf!Now that explains everything!The fact that I’ve been seeing my body shift into things I couldn’t decipher...the fact that I’ve always heard and seen wolves snarling at me. They all make sense now!But Kaine! It’s been long I stayed in my pack....and it seemed like the worst mistake of my life. I was in the pack when I was still a child, and I addressed the people in cabinet when the Alpha of our pack dies. I suddenly traveled abroad so I could study and avoid anything that would make people know my true identity. It’s been years I stayed abroad and I was sure and certain that nobody from my pack would recognize me, even if I pass
Chapter 37. Freda’s POV. For a while that I’ve been paying attention to Zack, I noticed that he was lost in thoughts. I know how he has been craving to deal with his brother, but I’ve always wished for him to take things easy.“Zack!” I suddenly called from the kitchen, and he turned back. “Yes,” Zack responded. “Have you managed to remember how you cooked when you had amnesia?” I asked, trying to divert his attention from his thoughts. Zack simply chuckled and nodded. “Cooking was my hobby....I cooked a lot when I stayed abroad, and I learnt new dishes,” Zack said smilingly, as I mouthed an O. “No wonder,” I muttered as I diverted my attention to the food I was preparing, but even still, my mind roamed about. I was really worried about Zack, and his thoughts that I didn’t notice when he tiptoed behind me, with the intention of scaring me. But I was quick to notice the presence of someone behind me, that I had turn quickly. “Uhmmm,” I gulped nervously, because he stood so
CHAPTER 38Zack’s POV. DINNER TIMEWe ate slowly and quietly and the only sound heard was the sounds of our spoons. I was irked with the silence, as it brought about awkwardness between us. “So tell me, how are you doing?” I asked the moment I couldn’t endure the silence again. “I’m good,” She flashed me a beautiful smile.“You’ve been acting weird since you got back from the hospital,” I said, and she quickly glanced up to look at me. “Really?” She asked, but instead, I gave her a blank expression. She herself knew she acted really weird since she got back from the hospital, but doesn’t want to acknowledge it. “Fine,” She breathed deeply, before she continued, “I’m sorry, but I was really tired when I came back, and maybe that’s why it seemed like I was acting weird,” She said slowly as I simply nodded. “So what exactly made your day more stressful?” I asked and she chuckled lightly “More patients were admitted today...so it was more stressful for me,” She said and I mouthed
Chapter 39 Kaine's POV. I was in my house making a call that night. Telling the person from the other end that I'll be back soon and that they should wait before deciding anything. Before I could decide anything I would notice a figure lurking in the shadows and abruptly end the call to go investigate it. Getting outside I didn't see anything and was rather confused. Going back inside I heard the footsteps once again and followed it. But the figure was lucky to escape as the figure was equally as fast as I was or even faster. Annoyed, I'll go back home and prepare for my journey while thinking who the mysterious stalker was. I shut my doors, went round the house, looked through the windows and shut them too. Adjusted my dark flowered curtains to fit in the size of my window. I paced back and forth in my apartment, trying to make sense of the situation. Who was that lurking figure I saw? Why were they following me? These questions swirled in my mind, fueling a mix of curiosity a
Zack's POVBreathing heavily, I was happy that I knew where Kaine was going and was thinking of a plan.But then I was frustrated at how Kaine found me out. If it was not because Kaine lost me because I was Lucky, he would have seen me.That was it. Going back home I entered my room but was shocked when I heard a voice behind me asking me where I was.I turned around to find Freda standing in the doorway, her eyes wide with concern. I hadn't expected her to wake up and catch me sneaking back into the house. Panic surged through me as I tried to come up with a convincing explanation."Freda, what are you doing up?" I stammered, desperately searching for a way to divert her attention from my late-night excursion.Her gaze narrowed, and she crossed her arms, clearly not buying my feeble attempt at deflection. "Don't try to change the subject, Zack. I asked you a question. Where were you?"I sighed, realizing that there was no use hiding the truth from her. Freda had always been percepti
Chapter 41Freda’s POVAs I climbed into bed, the tiredness washed over me, urging me to drift into a peaceful slumber. But just as my eyes fluttered shut, a sudden realization jolted me awake. I remembered that there was something important I needed to tell Zack. An idea so urgent that it couldn’t wait until morning. Determined to find him, I swung my legs out from under the covers and slipped into my slippers.As I made my way through the darkened hallway, the moonlight filtering in through the curtains cast eerie shadows on the floor. My heart raced, partly due to the urgency of my message, but also because of the events that had been unfolding recently. Zack and I were not just close friends; we were practically inseparable. We shared a deep bond that went beyond friendship, almost like family. And there was something about Zack that set him apart from others— I felt like that something was happening to him.Living together in the same house, we had been through countless advent
Chapter 42Kaine's POVI sat behind the wheel, my grip tightened on the steering wheel, my knuckles turning white. The night air whistled through the open windows of the car, carrying with it a sense of urgency. The pack needed me, and I had to be there. My instincts, honed over years of being a werewolf, told me that something was amiss, and I couldn’t afford to waste any time.The road stretched out ahead, illuminated only by the pale glow of the moon. The night was eerily quiet, save for the low hum of the engine and the rhythmic beating of my heart. The weight of responsibility pressed upon me, each mile drawing me closer to the pack, closer to the answers I sought.As I drove, my senses sharpened, my wolf instincts guiding me. But just as I approached a desolate stretch of road, a sudden shift in the atmosphere jolted me. The scent of danger hung heavy in the air, and my muscles tensed in anticipation. The rogue wolf, hidden in the shadows, was about to make its move.With light
Chapter 43Kaine’s POVUrgency coursed through my veins as I approached the heart of the pack's den. My eyes darted from face to face, searching for the pack's trusted physician, an old man whose wisdom and healing prowess were renowned. The fate of Freda rested upon his shoulders, and I needed to find him swiftly."Where is the pack physician?" I called out, my voice echoing with a mix of desperation and determination.A young pack member stepped forward, his eyes reflecting concern. "Kaine, he's by the creek tending to injured pack members. Shall I fetch him for you?"I nodded, gratitude washing over me. "Please, go find him and bring him here. Time is of the essence."Without a moment's hesitation, the young pack member sprinted off, disappearing into the darkness. My heart pounded in my chest, each beat a reminder of the urgency that propelled me forward. Pack members turned their heads, their eyes widening with a mix of care, sadness, and confusion. Their gazes fixated on the wo
