He needed his tea again. Lance stood up to leave and I didn't object, I was still in shock by his reveal. It made more sense, no one could just be this heartless and hard without a reason. His cough got worse before he could leave my workshop and just when he was at the door, about to leave, he dropped to the ground."Lance," his name rolled out of my lips as I rushed towards him to raise him up."Stay here, I'll go get your drugs," I said dashing off to his room to get it.His room!I was in his room. I had been there once, but I did not exactly get enough views as I did at the moment."I'll get it myself," Lance blurted out and I gasped in shock. He had enough strength to make his way here. I was surprised. "Leave," he added and I frowned."Why, you need help–""I don't need your help,""Well, I'm staying till I'm sure my Alpha and mate is feeling better," I objected and reached for the tea on his drawer. "Hayley,""Oh for once don't be stubborn and settle down Lance," I glared a
He left them and walked right past me, signaling me to follow him. I obeyed, trailing his steps behind him. I didn’t question where we were going but I eventually figured out where he was going, my workshop. “What’s up?” Grey asked immediately we were alone“I figured out a way to cure Lance,” I blurted out.I’ve always wanted to tell him since I figured out a cure. I spent more hours in the library, studying ancient curses and their cures and I finally came across one that would help.“What?!” Grey’s eyes widened at my announcements. “No way,”“Yes way, I was in the library and I came across a book and I saw things about curses and their cure. Most curses don’t even have a physical cure, it takes actions of the victim to break a cure. But I doubt that’s it. But I also came across a leaf, it lifts every curse. Every single curse,” I explained, even shocked by my own words.“What?!” Grey repeated with the same expression.“There is a problem though, you can only find it at the top of
I was pissed at the stubbornness of my mate and his reluctance for me to assist him in finding a permanent cure for his curse. However, deep down I knew he was right though, the risk of going to Mount Wateren was exceedingly high. I had to think of another way to cure him. Entering my workshop I felt a strange sensation that someone had just been in here. I looked around and found an envelope on the floor. My heartbeat rate increased as I picked it up. I flipped it open and read the heading of the card inside: Invitation to the National Healers Conference. “Oh my goodness! Shit this is what I’ve been waiting for my whole life, who placed this here?” I said aloud to myself. “Tell me you’re holding the secret formula list to my curse that doesn’t involve you risking anyone’s head on Mount Watermen.” I heard Lance’s voice suddenly. “It could be,” I replied. “National Healers Conference, Lance I got invited! Can you believe it?”He smiled. “I personally received the invitation on your
When we were still little Elena tried to set my room on fire, my dad had quickly rushed in with the fire extinguisher to quench it. My dad did not scold her for it, Instead he said it was an accident. Watching the burning glow of the firewood that lit the forest brought back the memory from my childhood days. We were setting camp in a nearby forest. Lance wanted us to have an outdoor experience away from castle walls to celebrate Betas Grey and Sonia’s one year wedding anniversary. There was so much laughter and joy on everyone’s face. Everyone was talking at the same time. “Settle down everyone,” Grey said, “I have an important announcement to make. Sonia is a few weeks pregnant!”There were hearty cheers and I looked at Sonia dumbfounded. I did not know what else to do except to give her a hug. Everyone came around her and lavished her with congratulations. Grey’s eyes were glistening with tears but he did not let it fall. He looked so proud, too proud and I wondered if any of it w
“Hayley, please you need to calm down,” Lance said, trying to make me settle on my bed.“Calm down, when I’m under a threat, the vampire wants me and I think my sister too and you’re telling me to calm down?” I replied, not responding to him but pacing back and forth.A normal person would not be calm if they received a message like that, especially after the vampire had come to threaten me a few minutes ago in person.“Tomorrow is going to be a big day, you need to rest, you need a good night’s sleep,” he insisted calmly. He simply had never even been normal, for him to act so relaxed about the entire thing.“How do you expect that I sleep Lance, a death threat is sprawled across my window meaning someone had access to my room, what if someone comes in later tonight to get me, you said it yourself, I’m weak, I will have no chance against them,” my palm became sweaty and so was my forehead. I was being paranoid, I knew that but it was for my own safety, people wanted me, possibly dea
“Do you ever wake up early?” I frowned at the voice that spoke.“Leave me alone, it’s still too early,” I shuffled around my bed. I knew who the person was, Lance had been trying to wake me up for the past ten minutes but sleep was getting the best of me. Then the bed sheet that was cuddling my body close was pulled down from me and I whimpered as the cold atmosphere met my skin.“Lance, will you please leave me alone?” I pouted, still refusing to open my eyes. I feared that if I did open it even for the slightest time, I was going to lose the sleep and nice dream I was having.I heard the curtains being dragged open but I didn’t flinch until the brightness of the sun came in contact with my eyelids.“Lance!” I finally opened my eyes to shoot him a glare but he just laughed at my attitude.“You have exactly ten minutes to get yourself ready for the healers conference, else you’ll be extremely late. I mean you’re already late, but you’ll be extremely late if you’re not in the car in t
"I cannot believe it!" I shrieked and Mike winced. "I'm sitting really close to you, do you mind not shouting?" Mike glared hard at me. He fixed the car key in and ignited it to life, turning the steering wheel and allowing the car to move in the direction he wanted."They made me president, Mike," I lowered my voice, taking his warning seriously. He was still the Alpha of my mini pack."You said that seven times before we even left the event, president of what?" Never for once did he turn away from the road to look at me. He listened but didn't have to even look my way, I found it unnecessary too, I was not ready for a car accident. "Of the healers club," I replied in a duh tone. Anyone who knew and 2as interested in healing would want to be that. It was a bug step into becoming one of the greatest healers. How did Mike not even know that?"You need to calm down and quit nerding out with me," Mike said, keeping a straight face as he stared boredly at the road. "You're just jealou
"What?!" I shouted, pushing myself away from him. "Hayley,""You can't just bring up such a news out of nowhere, I'm not even prepared physically and mentally, you want me to take the Luna ceremony. That basically means you want me to be Luna, I'm not ready to be Luna, I don't even know the first step to being one," I panicked and he watched my every single move with a smile on his face. "Hayley, relax you're going to be alright. I'm not giving you total control as Luna, but you will have the title. Your training will continue, till you're the best and then, you'll assume full position. Right now, it's just a ceremony," Lance placed his hands into his pockets, relaxing on the kitchen's counter."Oh, is that even supposed to help me?" I raised a brow, eyeing him.He shook his head with a laugh, moving his weight away from the counter. "I'm trying to be of help, now to hand you over to the ladies to handle you if you don't mind," he grabbed my shoulder and turned me around to meet Son
