“Gramps? What are you doing here?” I sat down on my bed when he come and sat beside me. He held my hand, and his face was full of concern. “I hear from her that a doctor come here, and you’re sick.” He pointed at his nurse and his hands patted on legs. “How are you, sweety?” I was holding my tears. My grandfather was still in recovery, but after hearing me get ill, he rushed himself to see me. “I am fine, gramps, you shouldn’t be here. Just go back to your room.” “It’s alright, dear, I just wanted to see you, and…” He turn around and spoke to the three alphas. “I am sorry, but could I have a moment alone with my granddaughter?” They respected my grandfather's decision and left us alone. He still holding my hand and a smile came into his face. “I am so happy for you. They seem to really care about you. I was afraid at first, thinking that you need to keep up, having three men as your husbands.” He was laughing, and I can see a glimpse of happiness on his face. “Yeah, you don’t have
I was looking at Aaron, and somehow his opinion makes sense. Mystic blood works in close proximity with humans, because of how delicate their society and they are always in constant need of covering their existence.“I mean, for example, in your case recently with your psychopath cousin, we have a pack member in every area of law enforcement and even in the military. They are the ones who helped us close your case.” Said Aaron again.“So, you agreed that my parent probably killed and they makes it looks like an accident, right?” I asked him again.Zephyr came and sat on the bed beside me. “Not probably, more like it was a homicide but being treated as an accident.”“Now, we just need to find who’s the killer.” Said Elm to all of us. “We need the exact location and time, and I’ll ask our member in law enforcement to investigate this case.”“I’m glad to hear this, I mean, knowing the truth would always be better than to make some foolish guess.” I was being genuine, I wanted to know the
“Come again?” I was trying to comprehend the reality of what this woman was trying to tell me. She took a glance at Elm, probably asking for help. He complies and is the one who tried to explain it, once again. “Cat… the documents are…” Gruntling, I glared at my sometimes gullible mate of mine. “I know what happened, Elm! What I wanted to know was how on earth the law enforcement doesn’t have the documents for the accident?!” “We are going to investigate this. Please don’t worry.” Said Brassica to me. “Please, I dare you to say those words again, because I am so furious right now!” I am furious, but not into Brassica. I was so mad at myself. “We are truly sorry, missus.” I can sense she was sincere in every word that she said. Shaking my head, I talk to Brassica once again. “Don’t worry, I don’t blame you, I just… so mad at myself.” Probably hearing me get choked up, Elm immediately took my shoulder and hold me in my arms. Brassica smiles at me. “I know this kind of thing would
“Ash? What are you doing here?” I was surprised to see him, but not as surprised as he was. “I… I lived here.” He said it to me while pointing at the upstairs apartment. Poppy and I shared a glance, he took a sigh and click on a remote on his keychain. The door in the upstairs apartment suddenly opens. “Do you trust me now?” He close the door once again using the remote and then bow respectfully to Missus Pots and me, afterwards he finally said goodbye to Poppy. “I guess we are going to be a neighbor now, welcome to the pack.” Blessed my friend, because she was stuttered when replying to Ash. “I… I… Yes… nice to meet you.” I face-palming myself after those horrible replies, and when I saw Ash, he dares to chuckle and shakes his head. He said goodbye to Elm and goes away with his car. “Where is he going?” I asked Elm when he walk to the front door. He took a glance at Ash's car and replied. “He is going to practice with his team, it will be two days hunting with new pups.” At lea
I got nervous all of a sudden, packing my suitcase for like several times already and this time the journey would basically longer and I will be meeting with another mystic blood besides the wolf pack. Poppy helps me choosing the shirt and everything, she also being given work schedule for my new charity, billing and the administrative work for the new organization. “I think you pack too lightly, Cat. I mean, as the wife of three alphas, you need to dress for success, how about adding another small one?” Poppy as I’ve already knew is a girly girl, unlike me. She like to play dress up and if it’s goes to her own accord, I will be having three large suitcases with dress and sexy lingerie all over. “Don’t you dare, Poppy, you’ve already packing enough for me, if I need something, I’ll be getting it in the store there.” I laughed at her and rolled my eyes. “You know what you’re having now? You’re having the rich people problem.” She said it to me while laughing so hard. We have our fun
“The covenant messenger came this morning; they gave us permission to enter the covenant.” Said Elm again. “That’s good to hear. At least we don’t have to wait long, right?” I look at Zephyr and Elm, hoping that this is really a good thing. They look at each other and what I am afraid of is being revealed by them. “Sometimes to gain permission will take more than just one day. This never happened before.” “Maybe they change their… policy or something, otherwise…” My eyes go around the room, looking at the two of them. Zephyr took a deep sigh. He closes his laptop and goes outside my room. “Have it your way. We are going to the covenant tonight.” He seems a bit worried and annoyed that I am still eager to go. “Don’t worry about Zephyr, he had a personal reason for it.” Said Elm to me, although he never specifically tells me the personal reason that Zephyr had. I get up from my bed and took a fresh towel and my toiletries, need to take a bath, probably soak with a bomb bath. I saw
The woman who claimed herself as Azolla is young, probably as young as me, but then I need to remember, we are talking about the mystic blood. Their appearance isn’t what it seems. The woman has one of the coolest afro that I have seen for a while, and not to mention her proud attitude towards us, makes me feel discriminated by her. “So… What makes you come here today, miss?” She looks at my mates and smiles while raising her hands. “My apologize, missus.” As she slightly bows and makes some polite gesture, somehow feels too generic and fake to me, like she was in a play. “I am sorry, but I need to ask, are you… knew about my father?” I don’t know how, but I couldn’t trust this woman, just call it a woman's instinct. Her eyes stared back at me. “You… doubted me?” Azolla squinted her eyes and her voice resounded into the hall. I tried so hard not to make it into a big problem, but before I tried to reason with her, Zephyr holds my hand and gave me a gesture that he will help me. “I
“I am Azolla Caroliniana.” Said the elderly woman to me.I tried to approach her, but wolf Aaron prevent me to walk further. “Are you the real Azolla Caroliniana?”“Yes, dear, I was cast away from my covenant after a rebellion broke up almost three years ago.” When she looks at how protective my mates are, she instead approaches me while walking with her cane. “I can see that your mates are… very protective of your well-being, how about we talked about this in a more convenient place, your choosing, of course.”Elm took a glance at Zephyr, he just groaned in his wolf form, and his eyes then went to me. “What do you think?”“Let’s give her a chance to speak. How about our hotel room? We have the enforcers everywhere.” Whispering to Elm, just in case she can hear us.Elm shakes his head. “No, that’s a bad idea. It is our safe place, neverZephyr who’s already shifted back, finally gave his idea. “We have a bar ten minutes from here. Let’s go there.”The elder woman thankfully agreed to
