Nora's POV

Just when I thought I was going to meet with my second chance mate after Carlos had rejected me, the mate bond led me to where he stood.

It took all that I had in me not to erupt in anger. I was furious at the moon goddess for pairing me with someone who had rejected me for the second time.

Thanks to Karen who had pulled me from the scene, I wouldn't have known when I would lose control and then create chaos.

Even though the rest of the party was fun-filled, the thought of what happened earlier kept ringing in my head making me uncomfortable and sometimes, I find myself drifting off.

Just when the party was about to draw its curtains close, I heard a devastating news that made the hair on my body stand still.

“I can't leave my parents to suffer.” I said, pulling myself up as Karen ran after me.

Now outside the hall, Karen stood in front of me, preventing me from taking one step further.

    Nora’s POV The pain made me lose concentration as I found it hard to stay put. Laughing like a maniac, Aria raised the knife she had been holding on to above her head. Instead of it glistening like before, it was now fully covered with blood. On her feet was Carlos who was bleeding profusely after being stabbed multiple times by Aria. I had felt the pain too because of the lingering mate bond.“Aria!” I howled, my eyes darken as I advanced in her direction. With anger welling up in me, I jumped on her, kicking her to the ground. I didn't stop there, I dug my claws into her neck making sure to rupture her blood vessels. In her defensive mode, she quickly transformed to her wolf form, baring her canines as she sized me up. She was about to lunge at me when her father, Alpha Jasper made his appearance. Now it was two against one.“Being a Lycan gives you no such privilege.” Alpha Jasper said through

As for Carlos, the attention of the doctors were called and without wasting time, they came to his rescue. Although I was drained from all my earlier activities, I couldn't rest. My heart kept wandering about as I thought of what would become of Carlos. “I hope he doesn't die.” These words were on my lips and I kept repeating it over and over again as my heart thumped against my chest. It was past midnight, yet the doctors were still with Carlos. To get my mind off him, I began to pace through the hallway. “You need to get some rest Nora.” Karen said, announcing his presence. Ever since we had a fall out at the boundary, he hadn't spoken to me. Acting like I didn't hear h

    Carlos' POV Having rested well after the night of the war, I regained consciousness but this was only known between me and the doctor in charge. My reason for doing it was not that I wanted to feign being in a coma and draw pity from people, rather I was unsure of what was going to happen. Nora was the last person I was expecting to come save me at the borders. I'm certain she didn't come for me, not when her foster parents were also in danger. But she bringing me to the pack for treatment meant she still had a bit of care for me but even at that, I was scared. When she was done cleaning me up like she does twice a day, I felt her weight leaving the bed and at once I held her hand. My grip was weak simply because I was weak too but I held on until I couldn't anymore. “Thank you.” I mumbled, gulping down the lump that had risen in my throat. “You're awake.” S

He continued this way until we got to the garden which was devoid of any sound as the sun was up high in the sky. “Have you lost it?” He yelled, taking his position in front of me with his hands strapped across his chest. “Calm down!” I managed to say but instead of that to happen, he became even more furious, fist pumping the air. “We both know Carlos is up to no good, why do you keep allowing him to use you?” He yelled. “He doesn't love you, if he really does, he would not have rejected you.” He added. At this point, trying to calm him down was impossible. He wasn't going to listen to whatever I

He was about to take his leave when he halted suddenly. “How long have you been awake?” He asked. From the body language, I knew he was uncomfortable with our presence here, same as I was but I needed to win Nora back before thinking of anything else. She was my main priority and I wouldn't give up on her until I succeeded in getting her back to myself. “It's been a while.” He didn't wait for me to say anything more before he stormed out of the ward, banging the door shut.

Reviewing Vina’s words, I couldn't help but to wonder what had prompted her into asking that and for the records, I doubt if Karen and I acted like we were items. “Your silence says I’m right.” She broke the silence in the room as she turned her back on me. She was about to step out when I rushed to her side. Holding her arm, I swirled her to face me only to see a silly smile dancing on her lips. “What is going on? Why did you ask?” I voiced out my thoughts, urging her to speak with my gaze. Now seated on the edge of my bed, Vina leaned in and with her hand resting on my shoulder, she said, “I’m worried about you.” “What…” “You're stressed out, you need to get a lot of rest, Nora.” She pouted, trying to make me lie on my back but I was adamant. “Since

With shaky legs, I made my way towards where the doctors were trying to revive her. “Nora!” I called with a shaky voice, hitting her cheeks severally, trying to make her open her eyes but all to no avail. “She will be fine.” The doctor who was going after her before she slumped said, causing me to snap my head in his direction. I felt forlorn as I stared at her pale face. The doctor gently pushed me aside before turning to look at me. There was a faint smile on his face which made my pounding heart a little relaxed. “She is tired, hence her brain shut off all of its activities. She will need enough rest before she will get rejuv
