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

    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

    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

    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 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

    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 rejoice internally that my shift has finally ended, and begin packing up my things before I go to change back into my normal day's outfit. "Tammy," our head nurse, Mrs Roseline calls to me as I walk towards the changing room. Dread spreads through my body on hearing the tone of her voice. I really hope it's not what I'm thinking. "Yes, Mrs Rose?" I respond, crossing my fingers behind my back, as some form of prayer. "I know your shift has ended, but I'd need you to stay behind for another shift," she tells me, confirming my suspicions. Dang. Exactly what I thought and prayed against. "I don't think I can do that, ma'am. I already had plans for tonight," I say as I move my head slowly from side to side, trying to reason with her. Although, the only plan I have for tonight is sleeping. But it should count, right?"I'm sorry, Tammy, but your plans would have to be put on hold," she replies, her lips turned downwards and her expression stern.Fuck. I should have said

    Tammy's POV "No, sir." "You say you didn't notice anything suspicious about the patient's behavior last night?" "No, sir," I repeat to the officer for the umpteenth time in an hour, starting to regret reporting the opened window of last night. He sighs. "Ma'am, I know you must be tired from last night and you most likely want to get some rest, but I'll need you to be more cooperative if you want that to happen. Your two worded replies won't suffice." He seems stuck on the opinion that I'm hiding something from him. Even if I am, it isn't something that would help him out. Putting on the most innocent act I can muster, I tell him, "I promise I'm not keeping anything from you. I've told you all that there is to know. He squints his eyes at me slightly, a disbelieving look playing on his face. "If you say so, ma'am," he replies and walks away. He glances over his shoulder at me, and I smile at him with a shrug. I should have been sleeping at home by now. But since I was the

    Tammy's POV How did he manage to close the distance so quickly? I could have sworn he was at least six feet away when I reached my car, but now he's right beside me. This just adds to the weirdness of everything about this man. I look at his hand on mine, and then at his face. The unfamiliar feeling from earlier comes back to me, causing me to immediately pull my hand away from his and turn my body to face him. Only after turning, do I notice the close proximity of our bodies. Instinctively, I move backwards to create some distance between us. My body makes contact with the cold metal of my car, the space between us still not sufficient enough. Ignoring that, I choose to focus on the fact that he has been observing me without saying anything. It fills me with discomfort and I pull a strand of hair behind my ear and look at him, breaking the silence. "What?" I ask, a brow raised in question. "I want to speak with you," he responds. 'what could he possibly want to spe

    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. I haven't

He's probably not telling the truth about this one. Yeah, that's it. "They are all under the influence of-" Adam starts, but Eric interrupts him."Adam!" Eric calls from a distance, cutting off Adam's statement. 'They are all under the influence of what?'Eric rushes over to us, sweat glistening on his skin. "Adam, Tammy! A few of the patients are awake!" he announces merrily. Adam stands up from his sitting position, his eyes wide with surprise. "Don't play with me, Eric."Eric holds up his hands. "I swear, they woke up this evening. It came as a surprise to everyone too.""But how?" Adam wonders aloud and glances at me briefly before they both go quiet. They seem to be engaged in a conversation, without uttering a word. I wonder how that's even possible. Eric shrugs before he speaks. "I do
