Third Person Pov “Are you sure about this, Nicholas? Are you sure you won't regret it?” Liam asked, staring back at Nicholas with an unimpressed look on his face. “When speaking to me, you've got to be specific, buddy. What exactly am I supposed to regret?” Nicholas asked, feigning ignorance and nonchalance. “Stop playing with me, Nick. Are you sure you're not going to regret sending her to that place? You know very well that if she gets lost, there's a high chance she could wander out of our territory and run into a rogue. Aren't you worried about that?” Liam questioned, still in disbelief that his friend could be so heartless. He had tried everything possible to convince him not to go ahead with punishing Lydia, but Nicholas was adamant, and he knew exactly why. “They're guards everywhere, Liam and I already made sure to inform them to be on alert. Nothing is going to happen to the girl,” Nicholas assured. He was trying to appear nonchalant and comfortable, but deep down, he
Lydia My entire body shuddered in disgust as I stared back at my bloody hands. I couldn't remember the last time I got my hands dirty with someone else's blood, but I remember that it was something that I'd promised myself never to be involved in ever again. I was hovering over the injured guard in his wolf form and judging by the situation, there was a high chance that he'd bleed to death if he didn't get someone to help him. I didn't want to stab him hard, but when he tried to attack me even while I was in my human form; I became furious, and I had no other choice but to plunge the stick into his neck as hard as I could. Whenever I l become defensive mode, I always end up hurting people, and I only ever snap out of it when it dawns on me that I have gone too far. Another case of Lydia being crazy with rage and going too far. I felt a little bad seeing his wolf lying on the floor and looking helpless, but there was nothing I could do to help him. I still had a mission to compl
LydiaI was on the floor, lying in my pool of blood, in disbelief. I could feel myself getting weaker and weaker with each passing second, and I didn't think I would be capable of getting up and escaping before the stipulated time. My eyes were starting to feel very heavy and the more I tried to control my breathing, the more I felt myself losing control. The only thing I could do was just lay there and look up at the sky, hoping that someone would show up out of nowhere and help me out. After struggling for a few long seconds, I finally managed to turn my head to the side because I wanted to check up on my final opponent, who I had to admit what's the toughest person I have ever had to face in my entire life. I couldn't use any of my tactics on her, so she was able to do whatever she wanted with me at the beginning, but after a while, I was able to snap my head out of it and I did something that I would have never expected myself to do. I fought back. I usually always look for t
NicholasI felt numb. Everything around me looked so blurry, and my palms were the sweatiest they had ever been. It's been over an hour since I've been pacing back and forth in front of the emergency room, patiently waiting for the doctor in charge to come out and let me know what Lydia's condition was. I couldn't even deny that I was worried because it was evident on my face and my entire mind hasn't stopped thinking the worst since I rushed her here. “Anything yet?” Liam's familiar voice asked, and I turned to look at him briefly, before turning back to the door. “Nothing,” I answered, not taking my attention away from the OR entrance. I heard Liam sigh beside me before tapping my shoulders lightly and handing me a cup of coffee. “You haven't even taken the chance to sit for a minute since we arrived here, Nicholas. Are you that worried?” Liam asked, and I could not believe he was asking such an obvious question. I had a feeling he just wanted to rub it in my face, then he w
Lydia My eyes painfully fluttered open and the first thing I noticed was the blinding lights above my head. I didn't need anyone to tell me I was at the hospital because you still remember perfectly what happened and how I ended up here. Although I don't know how long I've been unconscious, I'm pretty sure it's been a few days since, and I wasn't feeling as much pain as I was the day it all happened. I let out a frustrated sigh when a thought suddenly occurred to me. I've only been in the Alpha's palace for about three weeks and in such a short time, I've already been admitted to the hospital twice. I honestly didn't know how to feel about it. I certainly couldn't be happy that things were going so badly for me, but at the same time, I had no intentions of wanting to leave. Something in me still felt like this place was going to get better for me, and I could only hold out until my instinct proved themselves. “Look who finally decided to wake up,” a voice said, distracting me f
Nicholas I was in utter disbelief at first but after hearing it myself from the guards, I had no other choice but to believe it."So to wrap up everything you just said, Lydia is responsible for stabbing Lucas, she's responsible for puncturing Gio's left eye, and to make things even more interesting, she put Alora, of all people, in a coma?" I asked, and the more the words came out of my mouth, the more unbelievable it sounded.It was very difficult for me to believe that a person like Lydia, who seemed like an absolute weakling that couldn't even lift a finger to defend herself, was capable of putting three guards that were much stronger than her, in such critical conditions. The doctors already said that there was nothing to be done about Gio's left eye, which means he was going to be blind in that eye for the rest of his life. The doctors also said that Alora's condition was unstable because she had bled too much from her neck and they could only hope that she was strong enough t
Third Person Pov “Are you sure you're allowed to leave the hospital so soon?” Martha asked, still not in agreement with Lydia's decision to leave the hospital so soon. She couldn't understand what the rush was about because Lydia was only just recovering, and she would have preferred that she stayed for as long as she could so that she could at least avoid the alpha for a few more days. “I already spoke to the doctor, and he said that I'm perfectly fine and that I could leave whenever I wanted. You already know that I don't really enjoy staying in hospitals for too long. If what you're worried about is that I'm not going to get enough rest, then don't worry too much Martha, I'll be fine,” Lydia responded. She knew what Martha was worried about wasn't about her getting enough rest, but she wasn't going to allow herself to be convinced to stay in the hospital just to avoid seeing someone that she was eventually going to see whether she liked it or not. Besides, she certainly wanted
Nicholas I froze. My heart, my mind, my head, my entire being frozen in shock at Lydia's audacity. When her lips crashed on mine, I couldn't think of anything for the first few seconds because of how shocking it was. And, I would have pushed her away, but almost as if she knew what was coming, she only planted her lips on mine for a few seconds before stepping back. The look on her face said it all. She was amused and excited, and that made me even more pissed off. She knew perfectly well that I would have never done that with her or allowed her to touch me like that, and yet, she went ahead without caring about the consequences. “Did you lose your mind, lady? Has spending time in the hospital finally made you forget your place?” I asked, trying to contain my rage as best as I could. “And what exactly is my place? Last I remember, I was supposed to be your chef but unfortunately, I ended up becoming your prisoner. Besides these two positions, there is also another place I hold b
