The moment Roy opened his eyes, his nose was filled with the sweet scent of his beautiful mate. He felt a weight on his chest and around his waist, but didn’t bother moving so as not to wake her up. He gently stroked her hair, letting her strawberry scent please him.
“Rather than thank you for saving my life, I yelled at you. I’m… I'm sorry.” Kimberly murmured, making Roy stop what he was doing.
How didn’t he notice that she was already awake? That wasn’t even what surprised him. The fact that Kimberly was apologizing was what shocked him. To say he was speechless was an understatement, he was stunned.
“I-“
“You don’t have to say anything.” she cut him off before he could say anything.
“I said so many hurtful things to you, which I now regret.” she continued.
Mr. Wright was now beyond worried about his daughter’s whereabouts. He had called the cops after it was impossible to reach her. The worse part now was that, she was nowhere to be found. Same thing as Ian who was long due to have returned back to sea.The cops had searched every resort, hotels and any other place they could think of, in California, but there was still no trace of Kimberly or Ian. This is getting more frightening as the possibilities of his daughter being kidnapped or even killed ran through his mind. He shuddered at those thoughts, hoping none of them were a reality. He prays his princess, his world and pride was okay, because if something bad happens to her, he doesn’t think he'd be able to live.At that moment, his phone rang. He didn’t bother checking the caller ID, hoping it was the cops calling with good news.“Ben, it’s Tony.”
Hugh still couldn’t believe what Alan told him, that his mate, Hailey was dead. Now he understood why he was going through immense emotional pain for so many years. He always had the feeling that his heart had been ripped out of his chest, causing him to feel empty. It was because his mate was gone forever. She isn’t coming back like he had always imagined. He feels like a complete idiot for not fighting for her love then. If he had fought to win her back, she would still be alive, by his side, as his Luna and the mother of his pups.Why did she have to make such a stupid choice? How was she even able to subdue her wolf from desiring its mate? Why did she reject him when she was fully aware that she’d be hurting not just him, but herself.Hugh couldn’t stop thinking about his deceased mate. So many questions were running through his mind, making him wish she was alive to answer them all. The thoug
“Hugh!” Roy growled and turned around, immediately shifting into his wolf form, running towards the direction of the woods.He was beyond enraged. Why would Hugh do such a thing? This was crossing the line. He swore to himself and the moon goddess that he would tear Hugh apart when he gets his hands on him.“Roy!” Alan called out, also shifting into his wolf form going after Roy, Elijah followed behind.“Roy, this isn’t the right way to go about this.” He tried stopping Roy through mind link, but Roy wasn’t in the mood for his uncle’s bullshit.“Roy, stop!” Alan warned, jumping in front of the larger werewolf who didn’t think twice before pushing his uncle aside and continued his journey.How could his uncle tell him not to do anything about it? This was his pack they hurt, the family he had swo
“Hugh, I thought we had an agreement?” Alan asked the moment Hugh picked his call. They were currently still in Roy’s office.“And I remember telling you I was impatient.” Hugh calmly replied.How can he be so calm after killing two innocent lives, Alan wondered.“Those people were innocent. They did nothing to deserve death.”“Well, uncle…” Hugh mocked.“You can’t blame me. Your favorite nephew has something that belongs to me.”“That’s ridiculous. Those people had nothing to do with any of this.”“Is that so?..”Alan took a deep breath to control his anger, because knowing the kind of person Hugh was, one wrong word could make matters worse.Roy was staring intently at his u
Roy stayed in his car, crying. He couldn’t understand what turn his life was taking. A month ago was peaceful and everything was going fine, besides the fact that he didn’t have a mate. But now, his life is a mess, and with everything that has been going on, he had no doubt that he was crazy.Just a while ago, he would’ve killed one of his own, after years of promising he wouldn’t do such a thing. He wished he could get this guilt off his chest, but he couldn’t because, the more he thought about what he did, the more he felt disappointed in himself.John reminded him a lot of himself when he lost his sister. The grief he went through was so intense that at one point, he felt like dying, but thanks to his uncle, he couldn’t do it and now, he feels terrible for almost sending one of his own to an early grave just because he hit him.He should’ve understood that the man was g
“Do you really have to go?” Kimberly nervously asked as she watched Roy put on a black t-shirt. She dreaded the idea from the moment the words came out of his lips hours ago.“Please, don’t go.” She pleaded when she got no response to her previous question, which only meant one thing.“I have to.” He replied confirming her fears.Kimberly didn’t like the idea. There was an uneasy feeling in the pit of her stomach, like something terrible was going to happen.“Please Roy, I don’t want to lose you.” She was already in tears.Why was he acting like this wasn’t much of a deal when she could feel an unbearable pain in her chest.Taken aback by her sudden change in reaction. Roy stopped what he was doing on his phone and went to her. She had her back against his bedroom door as sh
“Alpha, they are here.” Donald announced, gaining Hugh’s attention as he was pretty deep in thoughts.Hugh could already perceive their scents, but the one he yearned for was missing, making his wolf feel on edge.“Bring them in.” he finally replied and in a matter of seconds they were making their way into his office.“You surprised me, cousin. I thought you were going to bring your whole army… I guess I underestimated you.” He mocked, his brown orbs glaring at Roy’s grey ones.“We are here to talk, not fight.” Alan said, putting an end to the glaring contest between the two Alphas.“Where is she?” Hugh asked, trying his best to sound calm but was failing terribly.“You crossed my territory and killed two of my own. That was out of line, Hugh.” Roy hissed
Roy was driving back to his pack when he noticed something ahead. He drove closer and realized that it was a fallen tree. He furrowed his eyebrows in confusion, wondering how it got there, because it wasn’t there when he and Alan drove past earlier.“How did this get here?” he murmured, bringing his car to a halt.Something wasn’t right, he could feel it. He climbed out of his car and looked at his surrounding. Nothing seemed out of place, besides the fallen tree, so why does he feel like something or rather someone was staring at him. Maybe he was overreacting, he concluded, reaching for his phone. There was no call or text from his uncle.‘I just hope he’s okay' he mentally said, returning his phone to his back pocket.He looked around one last time and decided that it was time to leave. Just as he was about to open the door to his car, someo
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
“Roy?!” Kimberly gasped as she stared in shock at her mate. Her mind was playing tricks on her, she concluded, shutting her eyes once again.'This is another hallucination, Kim. Don’t get your hopes up' she internally said to herself, getting herself prepared for another round of disappointment.She opened her eyes once more, and to her greatest surprise, Roy was still there, just inches away from her.“Kimberly” he called, oh so gently, bringing tears to her eyes.‘Could this be real?’ she wondered, slowly stretching out her arm, in attempt to touch him.She flinched away when her fingers lightly touched his arm, not wanting to believe that this is real.It took her a few seconds to actually believe that it was indeed real, and the minute she accepted it, she engulfed him in a tight hug, with uncontrollable tears rol
“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.
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,
It was like everything happened in slow motion for Kimberly as she watched both her mates fight themselves like it’s the last thing they needed to do. They clawed and bit each other without realizing that they had gotten to the edge of a cliff and that was where it happened.Kimberly watched as Hugh scratched and clawed Roy at every chance he got, not giving Roy any room to retaliate, resulting in Roy being badly wounded. 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
Mr. Wright was beyond crazy because his only child was no where to be found, and so was her fiancé. Where in the world could they be? He wondered, as the cops had searched every hotel, resort, motel, anywhere they could, in the whole of California, but still, there was no trace of Kimberly and Ian.They have contacted the naval headquarters to inform them of the current situation and to their surprise, they were told that there were reports of two similar cases two weeks ago and since then they have sent out a search team to look for them.Mr. Wright didn’t want to believe Mr. Gareth's words when he told him that Ian and Kimberly went camping in the woods. But, with everything happening at the moment, he had no other choice but to go into the woods, since that was their last resort. He prays they find them there, alive and safe.# &
Roy made a call to their pack doctor and asked him to come over to his place to check on Elijah. In less than an hour, the doctor was at Roy’s house with the necessary equipment needed to perform his work.After he was done checking on Elijah, he confirmed that there were no internal injuries, even though he was badly beaten by the alpha.Roy swore to himself that he was going to make Hugh pay for all the hurt and pain he had caused his pack, when he comes face to face with him. He couldn’t help but feel guilty when he saw Christine’s tears. She was trembling with fear when she saw her son’s unconscious and completely bruised body. This was all his fault, he shouldn’t have left Elijah by himself after being viciously attacked by Hugh’s warriors the day before. He should’ve known Hugh would have something up his sleeves.Alan could tell, Roy was blaming himsel
