Tammy's POV As we arrive at a mansion, I can't help but stare at its ancient, yet fascinating design. The structure looks sturdy, despite its obvious age, and it seems to be the only building around, which makes me wonder if his entire community stays in here. From the outside, it looks big enough to house up to fifty people; if two people share a room - that is - depending on the number of rooms that are here. I can't help but feel nervous at the thought of having to share a room with strangers, and sick ones at that. Adam opens the door, gesturing for me to enter. "Welcome to my humble abode," he says with a mock curtsey. 'This structure looks anything but humble.' I muse with a chuckle, stepping in. "Thank you, sir." pAdam walks in after me, towing my bags along, and Eric follows. Stepping inside the mansion feels like entering another era altogether. The interior is filled with antique furniture that seems to have been around for quite a while. Dust particles dance i

Tammy's POV Adam's voice rings out across the room. "Everyone," Addressing his next words to me, he adds, "This is Tammy. She's going to be the nurse from now on."Murmurs spread throughout the room, with people turning to each other and whispering in hushed tones. Everyone except the man and lady sat across the table from us, who seem to be sizing me up.I shrink to me seat, the self-consciousness taking over again. I'm usually not this shy, but I get the feeling from these people that there is more to them than what meets the eye, and it fills me with discomfort. I feel a twinge of anxiety at the thought of if I'll eventually fit in, even if I won't be staying long.Adam continues, his voice firm and authoritative. "As she would be the one taking care of our sick, I expect that each and every one of you would show her as much respect as you would show me." He pauses, his eyes scanning the room. "If she needs something, provide it for her. I don't want to hear any complaints. And mo

Adam's POV I follow my father in silence out of the dining hall, through the house, and we end up at the library. "Who is she? And why did I find out about her this way? along with the rest of the pack?!" he demands, his voice echoing through the room. "Do you not have any respect for me anymore?!" I understand his reaction, but his tone suggests that I intended to keep it away from him, which is not true - or at least not completely. I also know that I and my father have never been close, even before my mom died, but I at least expect him to have some trust in me. If I didn't tell him, it's because I had a good reason not to. "She's my mate," I reply calmly. His expression changes from anger to shock. "Mate? You mean you found your mate, and you didn't even tell me?" I wonder since when it became mandatory that I report to him everything that goes on in my life. The role of alpha aside, it's starting to feel like he wants in on every detail concerning me. "I was going

Tammy's POV The sunlight filtering into the room enters my eyes immediately after I open them, causing me to groan and cover them. I had forgotten to close the windows before I went to sleep last night. I stretch my hand out, reaching for my phone on my bedside cupboard, but my hand comes in contact with an empty space. That's when everything that happened yesterday comes to memory, and I become aware of my surroundings. I had accepted Adam's request and am now living in his oddly located mansion in the woods. As I sit up, more of the events from yesterday come to mind, and the remembrance that I might not be liked by the people here, makes me feel a bit down. I try not to remain down, as I came here for a purpose that doesn't necessarily need them to like me - although a part of me wishes that they would. It's time to start counting down to the two weeks I'll stay here, starting from today. I have to go prepare myself for the day ahead. I think I'll just do some rounds and acce

Tammy's POV The smell gets stronger as we approach the rooms, but I try to control myself from reacting to it. Adam doesn't pay any more attention to me, which saddens me but also makes me feel relieved. "Where would you like to start?" he asks, his voice cutting through the uncomfortable silence that settled between us. I hesitate for a moment, considering the options. "I think I'll start with the ones who aren't too sick." That way, it would reduce the workload, and I can assess their condition effectively. Adam nods, changing his direction as he leads me there. I brace and comport myself, preparing to handle any situation I see. I won't be working with the help of anyone in my field, so I need to be able to handle everything with a clear mind and utmost maturity. We get to a door, and Adam pushes it open to give me access. I take a breath before entering, and as I do, the smell hits my nose again, but this time milder than when we just got here. In the medium-sized roo

Adam's POV I feel bad for lying to my mate. She's spending her time checking on patients who are as good as dead. She doesn't know that they're not just in an ordinary sleep, but it's the curse, and there's nothing she can do about it. I wish I could tell her everything that's going on, and it already looks like she's starting to get suspicious. I should have told her everything from the start, but I'm scared of losing her. She wouldn't have easily accepted the truth, and lying seemed to be the best option at that time. I'll tell her the truth when the time is right. 'But when would be the right time?' Thane chooses that moment to ask. I purse my lips, remaining silent, as I am unable to provide an answer to his question. 'We shouldn't keep lying to her.' 'I know. I'll tell her soon, I promise." Tammy has spent a lot more time in this room, I wonder why. It's been over thirty minutes since she went in, and she's still not out. For a simple check, she's spent enough

Tammy's POV A groan escapes my lips immediately after I wake up, my head pounding. The sun is already setting, which means I must have been out for a while. I try, but fail to remember what caused me to lose consciousness. All I am able to recall is going to the infirmary, but nothing after that, which is strange because I am sure I had done more than that. I stand up, but a the throbbing in my head increases, causing me to lose balance and fall back on the ground with a loud thud. I groan and try to pick myself from the ground. Adam comes to my aid at that moment, rushing into the room and helping me up. "Are you alright, Tammy?" Adam's voice is filled with concern as he helps me regain my footing. I nod weakly, still feeling disoriented from my sudden fall. "I don't know what happened," I mumble, rubbing my temples in an attempt to alleviate the persistent headache. "You fainted," Adam said carefully. Fainted? How did that happen? The pain in my head subsides

Tammy's POV "There's something I have to tell you."I sit up straighter, all my attention fixed on him. My heart thumps in anticipation of what he has to say. "I don't want to discuss anything in here, can we go for a walk instead?" I propose.I've been indoors all day - aside from the incident period - and I think some natural breeze on my skin would do me much good. "Alright then," he goes outside to wait for me, giving me privacy to change.I slip out of bed and put on a pair of slippers. I don't change my clothes, as I am shaking with anticipation and I don't want to delay things any further. We walk in silence, the tension palpable. He leads me to a clearing where a tree has been cut, and then takes a sit, encouraging me to do so too. "So, what did you bring me out here to talk about?" I ask, unable to control myself any longer. "There's something - a lot of things, actually - that I kept away from you," he takes a deep breath. "I know everything I'm about to say might soun

Adam's POVShe stands upright, her heated gaze matching mine. I will myself not to dwell on how hot she looks, standing up to me this way. She remains beautiful, even under the dim lighting.I try not to think of how I could easily fling her over my shoulders and take her to bed, showing her just how much right I have to her.'Control yourself, Adam.'Tammy's eyes narrow, as she glares at me. "What do you mean by 'I brought you here because you're my mate'?"'Fuck. Fuck. Fuck!' I rub my hands over my face. Why did I let that slip? I didn't plan on revealing it to her this way. What if she misunderstands me and attempts to leave again?It would be so much worse than the last time because contrary to my words, I wouldn't go after her again."You just had to go and ruin it, didn't you?" Thane mutters, standing up to stretch."Shut up, Thane," I snap. "You haven't even been of any help recently."Thankfully, he doesn't press it, leaving me to handle the situation by myself.

Tammy's POVAfter returning the chart, I informed Nurse Roseline of my temporary departure. Surprisingly, she the news well, offering no questions and even wishing me luck. I thought it was extremely weird, but I brushed it off as her being happy for the little progress I'm in my career. I stroll to where I left Adam waiting, and I find him near the stairs. He fails to notice my presence, being engrossed in a conversation with someone over the phone. One hand is buried deep in his pocket, his brows furrowed as he speaks in hushed tones to the person on the other end of the phone. He takes out his hand, using it to pinch the bridge of his nose as the other person speaks, his expression tight. 'What could they be talking about?'Adam hangs up the call, finally taking note of my presence. His brows remain furrowed, a frown is etched on his lips when he turns to me. I want to ask if he's okay, but he speaks first. "That was Eric. There's a problem in the pack."I raise an eyebrow. "P

Tammy's POV I turn to face Adam, the fluorescent hospital lights reflecting off the polished floor. I'd felt his presence while talking to my patient, a shiver running down my spine as I sensed his gaze on me. I was sure he didn't know that I'd noticed him, but I had.I ended my checkup and came outside, pretending to be busy with the patient's chart while stalling for him to speak. The sound of beeping machines and muted conversations fills the air, but my attention is focused on Adam. "Hi, Adam," I greet, a smirk playing on my lips. "I expected you a lot sooner."Surprise flickers in his eyes at my admission, but he quickly comports himself, masking it with a grin. "Really?" I nod, my eyes fixed on his. His expression turns thoughtful before he replies. "You say that now, although, I would have thought that you wanted to stay hidden."The smirk on my face slips, a frown replacing it. I wasn't hiding. Well, I was, but I needed space to clear my head and come to a decision. With

Adam's POVIt has been days since Tammy left, and I'm not any closer to finding her. I and Eric had gone to her house, but she was not there. The place felt like she hadn't even been there at all. I couldn't get the tiniest whiff of her scent, which meant she probably never visited the place at all. I shouldn't be surprised. She knew I would come searching for her there, which was why she didn't go back. 'So where is she now?'After discovering she had gone back, Eric, Ophelia and I, alongside some other pack members, went searching for her. Father even offered some suggestions on where we could search, which was very unusual. Her disappearance has been the only thing on my mind. It got to the extent that Eric and I had to put off researching her real identity.However, all the effort was to no avail, as it seemed like she had disappeared long before we could have even suspected a thing. We were unable to catch her scent. She masked it perfectly. Nurse Roseline had not been of he

Tammy's POVI brush my hand over the cover, unable to believe my eyes. If this is indeed the mansion where Adam's family stays, it means grandpa or whoever owns this book, must have known something about Adam's community. 'Maybe I do need the book, after all.'Curiosity nags at me, and I open the book again. Running my hand through the inscriptions on the first page, it feels as though I can understand it if I try. I peer at it, hoping that I will be able to make sense of what is written. Rather, the writings get blurry the closer I get and my head begins to feel heavy. I slam the book shut and leave it beside me, giving up on my attempt. I take my plate and the book, drop off the untouched pie in the fridge, and go back to my room. As I lay in bed, sleep eludes me, my mind being troubled by the thoughts of having to make a decision; whether to go back to Adam's so I can uncover the connection of this book to Adam's family, or stay here and continuing with my life, as before - eve

Tammy's POV The past few days have been filled with boredom and inactivity. It's as if my life took a different turn after I had company. Even though everything remains the same, it still feels different, like I'm missing something. I usually didn't feel this much alone, but after leaving, I've become hyper-aware of the fact that I don't have any company. Working now feels dull. Checking on patients and interacting with my coworkers feels tasking, even when I've been doing the work for long. Although, I was initially surprised when I got to work, expecting to be fired, but I still met a job. Turns out, Mrs Roseline had made an excuse for me. I'm grateful to her for that, only that I wonder why she didn't just let me go, being the one directly in charge of me. When I got home the other day, I packed some of my things, and moved to Grandma Shannon's, knowing that Adam knows my house and might come looking for me. I don't want him to find me, but there's a part of me that thumps in

Adam's POV At the same time, we all turn to the direction of the voice. He regards me for a brief moment. "Adam," Father says, a recognizable edge to his voice. Ophelia hugs him as he comes to stand by us. He hugs her back with a smile, his eyes crinkling in the corner. "Daddy!"I resist the urge to throw up. While Eric, on the other hand, rolls his eyes. I snicker quietly at his reaction. Ophelia breaks away from their father-daughter bonding moment, to address Eric. "I told you he'd be here soon."Eric scoffs, "Yeah, yeah," turning away from them, and Ophelia playfully sticks her tongue out at his back. Father looks between us, his expression unreadable, as always, before he settles his gaze on Eric. "Take your sister away from here. I'd like to have a word with Adam," he instructs. Eric begins to lead Ophelia out. She makes whiny noises in protest, but follows anyway.'Is there any issue?' He asks through the mind-link. I have no clue on what it's about, but there's a feelin

Adam's POVThe cool evening breeze caresses my skin immediately I step out of the house, providing some calm to my racing nerves. My mind constantly replays the events of this evening to me. Of every reaction I expected from Tammy, her wanting to touch my wolf wasn't something I thought could happen. I was greatly pleased, even though she screamed at first. And everything that happened afterwards, her being aroused by me at such a time was also something I couldn't have imagined. If I didn't have some self control, I would have taken her there and then. Luckily, she changed the topic, saving me from adding more to the grudge I'm sure she already has against me.Tammy is upset with me now, and although I understand why, it still stings. She believes I lied to her about the patients condition again. But that wasn't the case. I was as shocked as she was, when Eric came and announced that they were awake. The fact that all these new developments are occuring after Tammy's introduction

Tammy's POV It's now the early hours of the morning, but I've been unable to rest, as my mind has been troubled by everything that's been going on since yesterday. My mind has been racing with questions and doubts, and I've finally come to a decision - I need to get out of here. Before anyone wakes up.I quickly pack my essentials into a duffel bag, trying to move as quietly as possible. I make my way down the staircase, my heart pounding in my chest. I reach the door, and to my relief, it's unlocked. I slip out into the cold morning air, shivering as the chill hits me.I take a deep breath and start to sprint through the woods, my bag bouncing against my side. I have no idea where I'm headed, but my sole aim is to put as much distance between myself and this place as possible. The place that's full of lies and deceit.As I run, the sound of twigs snapping under my feet echoes through the silent forest. Adrenaline courses through my veins, and I feel a rush of exhilaration.
