Hello, I hope you are enjoying Nicholas and Apphia’s story! ❤️
Nicholas Apphia had regained her memory and was depressed, refusing to eat. She woke up to nightmares. Lily told me she does nothing but write in her notebook and journal and takes a lot of showers. She locks herself in the bathroom for hours, crying. My heart broke to hear that, so I decided to visit her. I missed her so much. "I'm going to see her," I tell my sister over the phone. She has been staying by her side. I'm scared to leave her alone in fear she might self harm or escape. "Nicholas, what about the necklace? Did you send people to look for it?" she asks. "I did, but they couldn't find it," I sigh. "Oh, no. It has a lot of sentimental value. Poor girl was sobbing when she realized it was missing," she informs me. I hope the staff I sent out to look for it find it. I could do it myself, but time didn't allow me, as I've been in meetings constantly. I end the call and drive to the general hospital. I entered the royal hospital suite easily, as I knew the code. She w
"Hungry, Apphia? It's thirty minutes past 6, and you normally eat at this time," We enter the VIP suite, and I help her out of her coat. " I've ordered your favorite meal, creamy Tuscan salmon," " I'm not hungry," she sighs and sits on the couch, briefly closing her eyes. "Your poor eating habits are not good for you, Apphia. You need to eat," She's already so thin and fragile, like she could break. " You seem to know more about my eating habits, given this is the second time you are visiting me," she sounds a bit bitter. I stare at her and sit beside her. " Are you upset that I haven't been here sooner?" I ask, humor dancing in my eyes. She turns her face away, " I wish you visited often," she murmurs. " I will," I promise. Our eyes lock, and I have to tame my lycan from pulling her on my lap and kissing her. I feel her heart pounding. Even though she doesn't feel the mate bond, I obviously affect her. We break eye contact when someone knocks on the door. It is the ch
Apphia A couple of days pass, but I'm still in the hospital. I don't like it. It's starting to suffocate me. I want to leave this place already. However, I don't know how to start my life once I'm out. With Lily's help, I could get a job and rent a place in the city. I've mentioned leaving the hospital and getting a job to support myself to Lily several times, but she dismissed it in a Lily-fashion way. " Apphia, you're not ready yet, and my brother is searching for the man who got away. You have to stay here for your safety, sweetie," she said with a smile. It's like they don't want me leaving, but I'm so done with the hospital already. ... Dr. Hudson and I are on the rooftop. I convinced her to have our usual sessions here today. She insisted on calling Nicholas, and luckily for me, he agreed. I don't understand why they have to ask him for permission. "Apphia, what do you think about the Alpha Prince?" Her question catches me off guard. She's never brought him up in one of
ApphiaI love trains—I've loved them since I was a little girl! They are so intentional and different from life. I used to watch them in my pack every day after school. They were there at the exact time, and it was... settling. And the lycan city has one of the best trains. " You want to ride a train...?" Knox asks, tilting his head to one side. "Yes, and then we can go back," He seems content with that. I follow him quietly to the station, a ten-minute walk from the general hospital. - The large station has a high ceiling and over three nice lounges. It is neat. We head to the booking clerk to get our tickets. When it's our turn, Knox reaches into his pocket to grab a credit card and puts it on the reception desk. " She wants a train ride to nowhere in particular, maybe around the pack?" he says, bored. The clerk behind the desk sees the golden card, and his bored face lights up immediately. " O—Okay, Mr. Lavista..." he types on his computer and then looks up, beaming.
ApphiaNicholas is here. It isn't planned, but Knox and I get up simultaneously, our eyes glued to my door. We hear steps outside the door. My heart is pounding in my chest. I'm anxious and apprehensive, but something within me sings joyfully—my subconscience. . The double door quickly opens, and the chattering in the office ceases as everyone gets to their feet, their heads bowed low in submission. Nicholas stands at the entrance, and Blade and Lily stand slightly behind him. The Alpha is looking right at me with his sapphire blue eyes. He is mad yet breathtaking with his tousled hair and undone in a white shirt, collar, and cuffs. I can't tear my gaze away from his beauty. His eyes go from me to his young brother. Seeing them face each other, I see the resemblance between them. They are almost identical, except Knox's skin is fairer, probably getting it from one of his parents. Other than that, Knox is a few years younger. I take a deep breath and slowly walk up to him. His
Apphia. Once we leave the station, two black cars are waiting for us on the street, and two men in black suites are standing beside them. I glance at the others. Lily is not too happy and is scolding Knox. "You are such a brat; what were you thinking, Knox? Helping Apphia leave the hospital!" "She was safe. I was with her, and Apphia had a wonderful time. Didn't you?" he grins at me. I smile and nod. "Oh, Apphia, you had me worried," Lily says, stroking my hair gently. "I'm sorry," I say again. "You'll ride with me," Nicholas says. I hesitate. Should we ride in the same car after our heated exchange earlier? I glance at Lily, and she nods with a comforting smile. Nicholas holds open the door, and I enter the back passenger seat. Nicholas gets in, sitting beside me, and my breath gets caught in my throat. The driver starts the engine, and we head back to the city. The car ride is silent. It is heavy, so I speak, "I'm sorry for worrying you," I murmur. Nicholas turns his
I can't feel Ziora anymore. She's gone, leaving me desolate. As we walk upstairs, I realize how grand the castle is with its tall ceiling and wide white marbled hallways. There are paintings on the walls, all expensive-looking. Everything is antique but modern, too. It also has a homey feeling to it that I like. Just what am I doing here? I'm out of my league here. Lily talks about the room she chose for me, but I'm struggling to comprehend anything momentarily. She takes me to a private wing on the west side and stops before a white door. She pushes it open, and Vicky rushes in, spreading her hands in a dramatic gesture. "Tada! Welcome aboard!" I step inside and look around with my eyes. No. It can't be mine. The room is enormous, with two large windows from the floor to the ceiling. In the middle of the room is a large queen-sized bed with white sheets and many fluffy pillows. There is a long cream couch facing the TV on the wall. "Check it out," Lily says with a smile.
I wake up slowly, feeling refreshed and rested. I feel sunshine on my skin, too. I groan in delight. It feels amazing. I open my eyes, realizing I'm not in the bed at the hospital. I panic and sit up, analyzing the room. But yesterday's events hit me hard. I exhale. I stretch and get up, approaching the glass spiral table that catches my eye near the window. There is a white lotus and a note. A smile stretches on my face, knowing exactly who it's from. The note reads. " Good morning. I hope you had a fantastic night in your new room. Take a deep breath, smile, and start the day with positive energy. Have a lovely day ahead. Love, Nicholas. I pick up the lotus, holding it to my nose. It smelled fresh and fabulous, but there was something else: an intoxicating scent. I go to the bathroom, brush my teeth, and then shower. When I finish, I get dressed in jeans and a black top. I grab a cardigan and put on a black Vans. I leave the bedroom and wander for a moment before m
Nicholas " You think Apphia is a marked wolf?" I repeat. I need help understanding. I look at him for elaboration. " A marked wolf is a shifter with divine powers. They possess powers that transcend human understanding," Dad says. My mother sighs and relaxes in the chair as she begins to explain." After discovering that Apphia is immune to all our powers, your grandfather, Mike, and the elder council were intrigued, as this was the first anyone wasn't affected by our powers. While searching an ancient library, they discovered a chronicle text. The chronicle details more of royal abilities and, surprisingly, one immune to them,"" How does a marked wolf come to be?" i ask." By being submerged in the holy golden lake in the beyond after a sacred ritual during an auspicious day and time chosen by the moon goddess," she answers.I frown. Sacred lake? I've been to the beyond yet had not seen such a lake. " How can my Apphia be a marked wolf?"" We don't know how, but the magical test
