2024-10-29 19:42:56Kimberly was walking through the hallway of the hospital, heading for the director's office when she heard someone call her name.
“Dr. Wright, Dr. Wright !” Kimberly turned around and saw a nurse running towards her.
“I’m so sorry to bother you.” The nurse said, panting heavily making Kimberly wonder how long she had been running.
“Hold on, take a deep breath and tell me what’s wrong.” Kimberly said to the nurse, who nodded and did as she was told before speaking up once more.
“I only wanted to give you the medical report of the patient in room 406, you asked me to prepare.”
“Oh that, thanks.” Kimberly replied when the nurse was done with her explanation. The nurse handed her the medical report before Kimberly resumed on her way to the director’s office.
She arrived her destination, which was the director’s office, but stood at the door staring blankly at the name tag on the door. She internally hoped her request be granted.
Taking a deep breath, she knocked on the door and reached for the door knob, when she heard a muffled 'come in'.
“Dr. Wright, what brings you here?” Dr. Cullen, the hospital's director asked as he was surprised by her presence in his office.
“I’m sorry I came to your office unannounced. Your secretary wasn’t at her desk, hope I’m not a bother.” Kimberly quietly asked.
“You know you’re never a bother to me. Have a seat.” Dr. Cullen said, gesturing for Kimberly to sit down on one of the chairs across his desk .
She gave a polite smile and did as she was told.
Kimberly knew Dr. Cullen gave her such special attention because she was one of the best neurosurgeon they heard, even though she was young.
She felt terrible for what she was about to ask as she saw the way Dr. Cullen looked interested in what she wanted to say.
Kimberly knew Dr. Cullen thought she was here because she had suggestions to give regarding the hospital like she always did. But, that isn’t the case, because today she came for personal reasons.
Saving lives was her priority as a doctor, but being with her fiancé was also important to her, considering the fact that she rarely gets to spend time with him due to his nature of work. This was her only chance to be close to him this year.
“Dr. Wright, are you okay?” Dr. Cullen said bringing Kimberly back to reality.
She didn’t even know she had been lost in her thoughts.
“Um.. I’m sorry, I- I was wondering if can get a leave of absence for a period of two weeks?” she nervously asked, her palms already sweaty.
The reason Kimberly was this nervous asking was because, Dr. Cullen can be friendly sometimes but was a very strict and dedicated doctor especially when it comes to work and he expected the same with the other doctors.
She hoped he wasn’t already disappointed with her because of her request as he was dead silent. The only thing she could hear in the room was the pounding of her heart beat.
God! she hated the way he was staring intensely at her, like she was some kind of puzzle he wanted to solve. It made her feel so small.
“Is everything alright at home? Because I know you. You’ve never asked for this sort of favor before.” He suddenly asked, breaking the silence.
This brought a wave of relief to Kimberly who thought he wasn’t going to say a word to her.
“Yeah, everything is fine.” she replied with a nervous chuckle.
“So, why then would you want a leave of absence? You know you can talk to me.”
Kimberly could see the concern in his blue eyes as he was honestly worried about her.
Should she open up and tell him the reason why she needed the leave of absence?
That would be so embarrassing. Just the thought of telling him made blush rise to her cheeks.
“If you’re stressed out from working for almost a year without one, then..”
“No, no. That’s not it. I know I requested for it to be that way and I don’t regret it, it’s just… My fiancé is returning tomorrow and we barely have time for each other due to the nature of our jobs.” She said letting out a heavy sigh before she continued to speak.
“He’s in the Navy and spends almost the year round at sea but only gets to spend two weeks at home… This year unfortunately didn’t correspond with the time I usually get my leave, so I was wondering if you could excuse me just this once.. please?” She pleaded in a small voice.
“Hmmn..” Dr. Cullen sighed while Kimberly waited, eager to know his reply.
“It’s alright, you have my permission. You’ll receive you letter of leave in the morning.”
“Thank you so much sir.” She said with so much excitement as she stood from her seat and walked towards Dr. Cullen, giving him a hug to his surprise.
Her action made him chuckle as he returned the hug.
“But don’t get too excited, Dr. Wright cos you might get a call when there’s an emergency that requires your presence.” He said to Kimberly after the hug.
“That won’t be a problem. Thank you once again.” She said as she exited his office.

She unlocked the door and they went in.“I had the whole plac

Kimberly stared at her lover as he was fast asleep. He looked so peaceful and handsome. Her eyes lingered on his slightly parted lips, she felt the urge to kiss him, but refrained herself because she didn’t want to wake him up as he must probably be tired after the long journey.She carefully removed his hand from her waist and quietly got out of bed, making sure not to cause any noise.She got into the closet and picked out another underwear, since Ian ripped the one she was previously wearing. Smiling at the memory, she took one of Ian’s t-shirt and wore it, then wrapped her hair up in messy bun before quietly walking out of the room.Kimberly walked into the kitchen and sat on an island stool, thinking of what to make for lunch. She knew she needed to think fast because Ian wasn’t an heavy sleeper, so he’d soon be up.After some minutes of thinking and going through a cookery book

Kimberly couldn’t help but laugh at Ian who was repeatedly grumbling about the welcome party his mom mentioned earlier.“Babe, please finish your meal.” she said stiffling a laugh.“You don’t understand. I told her that a party wasn’t necessary since I'll be leaving soon.” he replied with a frown.“It’s okay, babe.”“It’s not okay! She never listens to me!” he yelled making Kimberly flinch.Ian noticed her reaction and felt bad for frightening her with his unnecessary anger.“Baby I'm sorry. I didn’t mean to scare you.” he apologized, taking her hand in his, placing light kisses on her knuckles.“I understand.” she quietly replied, stabbing her food with her fork, suddenly losing her appetite.

On her way to the supermarket, she couldn’t help but think back to their love making earlier that morning.Ian was a totally different person in bed that morning, one she couldn’t recognize. It was like she awoke some kind of beast in him. The bite marks all over her body were proof of his actions which she doesn’t want to look at for the time being. She got what she asked for.The sex was amazing, she could still feel the effect on her lower region. She had to be honest with herself, she didn’t like that Ian. She’s satisfied with the gentle and passionate Ian she fell in love with. But she couldn’t help feeling kind of proud and moved when she saw the look of content on Ian’s face as he devoured her.Maybe, she would let him have his way once in a while, that would help spic

Kimberly cried her eyes out in the kitchen. She couldn’t tell how long she had stayed there because she didn’t want to face an angry Ian. After what felt like hours, she left the kitchen, walked passed the living room and went upstairs to the bedroom. When she got into the bedroom, did she realize that Ian wasn’t home. How did she not notice when he drove out? She guess she must’ve been too engrossed in her thoughts and tears to notice anything. With that conclusion, she peeled off her clothes which was currently soaked in tears and sweat and went into the bathroom because she desperately needed a warm bath. While running the bath, she wrapped her hair in a messy bun and wiped off her makeup before getting into the bathtub.For the first time in forty eight hours, Kimberly hated the fact that she took a leave of absence. If she hadn’t taken that leave, she would’ve gone to the hospital to take care of some

Kimberly took gentle steps as she climbed down the stairs because she was a little nervous, wondering if Ian was mad at her for forgetting about the party.She saw Ian typing away in his phone, as the living room came into view. She stood at the end of the staircase and let out a heavy sigh before speaking up to make her presence known.“I’m ready.” She said, earning Ian’s attention.Kimberly noticed the way Ian stared at her for a few seconds before composing himself. He had a look of admiration in his eyes, but quickly shook it off because of his stupid pride.Kimberly hated the fact that Ian let’s his pride get the best of him. She didn’t care anymore if he was going to compliment her or not, she just wanted them to get everything over and done with, so she could come back home and get some rest because today has been one heck of a dra

Kimberly’s breath hitched at the sight of her father.“Can you explain to me, what is going on here?” Mr. Wright asked with a raised eyebrow, staring directly at his daughter who was a nervous wreck.Wasn’t he supposed to be asleep? Kimberly’s subconscious asked, still finding it difficult to answer her dad’s question. She opened her mouth to say something but no words could come out.'You can do this, Kim. Just tell him the truth. Besides, he knows about their kind, so it should be easy.' She encouraged herself, finally picking up the courage to speak.“Dad, um. I-I, um. This is Roy, my m-mate.”'Way to go, Kim. That was quite courageous.' She mentally face palmed.Mr. Wright couldn’t believe what he just heard. He could feel his heart shattering into a million pieces from Kimberly’s r

“That was so unprofessional of you, Dr Wright!” Dr Cullen angrily yelled.“I’m sorry.” Kimberly nervously apologized.“Sorry? You’re sorry? We almost lost a patient because of your negligence!”Kimberly was aware of the fact that she made a terrible mistake back there in the operating room. If they hadn’t struggled to get her full attention back on the surgery, she would have lost her patient, which has never happened before.“I know I made a mistake and I’m sorry, but I still saved the patient’s life. That’s what matters.” She tried to defend herself as she was already in tears because she hated being yelled at.“Are you even listening to yourself?.. I never expected such from you.” Dr Cullen said, his voice heavy with disappointment causing Kimberly to feel even worse.
Mine Chapter 60
Kimberly watched as the body of the man she once called the love of her life and fiancé was being lowered six feet under the ground, along with his two friends. Her tears flowed freely down her cheeks, as she realized that he was truly gone, he has left her forever. She would never see those lovely blue eyes or his beautiful smile ever again. She would miss seeing him looking all handsome in his white uniform.An arm went around her shoulder, giving it a light squeeze. She turned to see who the arm belonged to, it was Tony, Ian’s dad. He gave her a sad smile before handing over to her the flag which was previously on Ian’s coffin.Kimberly stared at it for a minute, tracing her fingers on the fabric before breaking down in tears. Why aren’t these people blaming her for what happened? Why did they believe the story that some wild animals killed their son and his friends? She doesn’t deserve

Kimberly’s eyes fluttered open but a bright light caused her to shut them back.“What’s that?” She wondered, trying to open her eyes again.She repeated the process three times before her eyes adjusted to the bright light. She glanced at her surrounding, trying to figure out where she was.Where the hell I’m I? This isn’t my bedroom, neither is it Roy’s or Hugh’s.Her heartbeat quickens at the thought of those two names, as the memories of the war came flooding back making it difficult for her to breathe. The sound of something beeping and her dad rushing to her side, pressing a button with a worried look was the last thing she heard and saw before going unconscious again. Kimberly woke up again, this time, to the sound of the beeping beside her. She realized she was still in the same place.

Kimberly let out an ear piercing scream as her whole body went numb. She couldn’t believe what just happened. It didn’t happen, did it? She mentally asked, as she stared blankly at the spot where Roy and Hugh both were, a while ago. There was nothing there, just a fallen tree.Roy, her missing piece, her soulmate is gone. Nothing or no one could convince her otherwise, because she felt a sharp pain in her chest when he fell off the cliff. Hugh killed him right before her eyes.Her knees went weak and she fell to the ground, crying into her hands. ‘This pain is too much' she cried, rubbing her chest. This is far worse than when she lost Ian. This was death itself, she concluded, as she let out another scream, not caring about her surrounding.Alan, Elijah and some of the other pack members ran to the river below the cliff, after giving orders to the pack doctors and the rest of both pack members,

Hugh pinned him to the ground again, finally getting him where he wants him.There was nothing Alan could do at the moment because he was fighting off two werewolves that had attacked him, preventing him from helping Roy.They were both in dangerous positions, causing Kimberly to run towards them. She could feel her heartbeat getting slower by the minute, which meant she was losing Roy.As she ran, she kept screaming for Hugh to stop his assault on Roy, bu
