“That didn't quite go well, I don't think we should have gone to see her. She totally lost it” I said to Skye, following her into the room and shutting the door as I entered.“I knew she was going to act that way, if you had let me throw her a few more punches, then she would have behaved” She forced her ass onto the bed with a grunt, looking unhappy. I think she's a little mad I stopped her before she could have damaged Sabrina in a very serious way.“You threw her punches and even scratched her face but she only laughed. I don't think she would have given a f**k even if you had slashed her stomach open, Skye. She just wanted to get you pissed and she did” I pointed out, grabbing the study chair and sat in front of Skye to calm her down. She looks highly offended by our interaction with Sabrina.“Well, what about you? Didn't she succeed in getting on your nerves as well?” Sye scoffed, expressing contempt but I didn't mind her. I get it that she's mad, that's why she's acting up a li
Last night was a wild one, I couldn't close my eyes and sleep, finding it a little difficult to force myself to sleep as memories of Sabrina burning alive at the stake kept playing in my memories like a movie. Her screams of agony filled the entire gathering of the arena but no one felt a thing for her, instead they were all chanting and cheering for her to be burnt down to bones. The smell of gasoline struck my nose when it was added to the fire to make her burn more each time it seemed like the fire was going off. I swiftly jerked up from the bed when I felt the fire becoming too hot for me to keep thinking about it. I think I was dreaming about it to be precise and I swiftly forced myself to wake up from that dream. It started to get a little intense and hot in there. “Oh God…” I sighed, wiping off the beads of sweat that formed at the top of my face. I was sweating around my neck too, my whole body was soaked. I wasn't the one being burned, but I felt the fire coming pretty c
I couldn't afford to go see Gordon looking like the mess I was after waking up from the horrible dream, coupled with the nightmare that I had. My hair looked unkempt and my breath stunk as well, so I swiftly rushed to the bathhouse and had a quick bath, leaving Hunter all alone in the room and didn't stop to hear him out when he kept calling. I didn't know what else it was he wanted to tell me, but I didn't wait and sit to find out. Time is against me already, I just hope Gordon doesn't get to change his mind when I go to see him make the apology. It's totally Hunter's fault for failing to inform me on time and he just sat with me comfortably, discussing only to let me know Gordon wanted to see me at the dying minute. I would have punched him if I had the chance, but I had done that already when he came into the room and almost made me sh*t my pants when I was still hallucinating from the nightmare I had regarding Sabrina. Time wasn't on my side, but I still had to wash my ha
“Luna” I called and bowed immediately at the sight of Susan, walking up to meet me at the spot where Gordon helplessly left me and disappeared without leaving a trace. I don't know where she came from, but I think she must have been watching us secretly before her mate left and then she decided to show herself. “No, please, I've told you not to do that, you are going to make me mad, and just call me Susan. I can't deal with this Luna bullsh*t from you too” She rushed over to me and forced me to lift my head, refusing to let me bow to her. “Come on, I bet we are both the same age, you can call me Susan. I'd appreciate that” She said with a smile, removing the strands of hair that covered my face when I bowed to show respect. She let go when she noticed parts of my hair were wet. “Your hair is wet” “Uh yes, I was kind of in a hurry so…” I swiftly touched my hair, realizing that it was still wet indeed and I trailed off, not feeling like it was necessary to let her know why I coul
I celebrated escaping the plan to spend the day by hanging out with Susan today when the girl who showed up in the middle of our discussion came to let her know something urgent came up, and she then had to leave to go take care of it. That girl was a lifesaver, I don't think she knows it yet. I'm going to have to find her some time to thank her for what she did. On my way to my room, I crossed paths with Michelle and she seemed so excited to see me. I couldn't tell why, but I had a feeling she was going to suggest that I hang out with her like Susan did. “Hey,” “Oh hey,” I acted excitedly to see her when all I wanted to do was to just get to my room already. I don't know why it had to be far away. “It’s been quite a while since we last saw each other, I don't think I've seen you around since that day” She had this look of surprise on her face, as if it had been ages since she last saw me. “Uh, yeah, I don't think I've seen you around either. I've had a lot to do since that
Thankfully, I finally was able to get back to my room without having to cross paths with anyone else. I reached for the blow-dryer immediately after I got inside, plugging it in, I began to think of why I said to Michelle that I was interested in learning about herbs when I'm not entirely sure yet, I'm that interested in knowing more about it. I just don't think herbal medicine is my calling. I don't even know if being a healer is my calling as well, I'm still procrastinating and finding it difficult to truly embrace it. I’m more scared of getting my ass beat up in a duel if I was to learn combat skills than I’m to learn more about skills that have to do with healing. The sudden knock on the door startled me but it helped make me break free from my thoughts.“Hey,” Skye came in excitedly, rubbing her palms together.“Hey,” I removed the plug, realizing there wasn't much to dry, the majority of my hair dried off when I was still walking around.“What are you doing?” She asked, going
Skye fell asleep shortly after making fun of and taunting me about having a thing for Gordon. She might have taken it as a joke but I didn't see it that way due to the fact Gordon isn't my type of person and an asshole. I mean I’m still holding a couple of grudges against him, and he added more to them a couple of hours ago when he just disappeared, after I apologized without him bothering to let me know like a proper person with etiquette would. Feeling extremely hungry, I got up from the bed to go find something to eat. Betty normally comes to check and tend to my needs, but I haven't seen her since morning. It's either she's too busy with work or she probably must have forgotten. However, I'm not a baby waiting to be attended to, so I left the room after covering Skye with the blanket to go find something to fill my stomach with. **** I went to the dining hall and luckily, there was some food on the table just like the last time I was here to have breakfast with Gordon. It
“What are you doing here?” I looked at Gordon completely dumbfounded while he asked what I was doing under the table. I thought he was going to stop at flipping foods, I didn't know he was going to flip the table as well. It was a very large table, but thanks to super strength, he was able to flip it over like it was nothing.I almost screamed when he carried the table and flipped it over but I covered my mouth. However, in the end, he still found me here. What am I going to say now? I just got busted and in a very bad way. I hurriedly got on my feet first, wiping my ass after getting off the floor, and then began acting like a fool. To be precise, I'm panicking, but acting like a fool in the process. My hand went on my head, nervously scratching the back of my neck for no reason.“I asked what you are doing here. How did you get under the table? Why were you even under the table? You weren't here when I…” Gordon paused, his jaws dropping open all of a sudden out of shock for a minu
Not what think he knows that I don't plan on coming back till evening to confirm if he was going to get his vision back. But I guess he's okay with ruining the day for me already, and call me dramatic but I really didn't nee someone to spoil the day for me like that, especially with bad news. He has no idea how worried I am over his health, and he just to had to blurt that out as if actually believing that he might not be able to see again when evening comes and his eyes doesn't clear up.“You are up” I walked a few feets away from Hunter's room only to suddenly hear a voice taking to me from behind. “I was starting to think that you guys were having sex in there” “Gordon” I mumbled under my breath, recognizing his voice immediate after he said such nonsense about me and Hunter having sex inside the room. I let out a deep breath of disappointment, reluctantly turning around to face him.“Fine morning to you too, Alpha” I greeted him with a regrettable smile which I forced on my fa
She did , you should tell me!” Hunter barked again and I shivered, scared at his angry tone.Then all of a sudden, Anita as stupid as she was stopped asking to be freed, but instead began laughing, leaving Hunter and I to be quite surprised and I just knew that she was never going to recover from her craziness for real.“You are going to have to kill me first” Anita smirked, getting Hunter pissed as hell and he did exactly what she wanted. “Your wish is my command” He grabbed her tightly by the neck and flunged bed aside against the wall. “Woah!...” I squeaked, taken by surprise, not have expected that. I was totally speechless to see Anita survive that hit. I could literally feel her bones breaking and I wasn't the one being beaten.“Are you going to talk now or we can go on with this all day” Hunter licked his lip, enjoying this. I think he has been waiting to beat the sh*t out of Anita all day since he was captured. Now, he got the chance, he's not missing it.“I swear I'm going
She couldn't say anything, shocked for a minute that Michelle was asking me for real to be her text subject for a poison project, where I think I'm likely going to be injected with the poison for her to able to confirm if it was the same kind of poison, which was hard on Gordon.“No” I said a big no to her, and could see directly through her glasses the disappointment in her eyes as I turned her down.Did she actually expect to walk in here and say that to my face and then expect me to be all yippee-yay that I'm going to be a test subject for a poison project? Just like Gordon probably expected me to do when he asked me to be his personal healer.What's starting to go wrong with the people here? Do they think ther I'm some kind of charity event and I couldn't say no to them? Only for them to act disappointed when I say no as if I did wrong for saying no?“I'm sorry, but I can't do that, it's too dangerous” “You are not going to die, Kimberly, I have the antidote right with me. I'm g
was supposed to talk her out of attempting to do something stupid like that. I mean if she rips her heart out of her chest and dies, then it was of no use coming here because we wouldn't get to find out who paid her to poison Gordon.“Okay, why don't we all calm down and take things slowly here everyone, hmm? Nice and slow” I came in between them, not wasting time before Anita actually rips her heart out of her chest. Though, I doubt that she's really going to do that. But who knows? We got a lot of crazy people living among us, don't we?“You don't have to get yourself involved, Kimberly, she's not going to do it” Hunter said to me with his eyes not moving away from Anita, who herself was smiling like some clown. “I don't think she's okay in the head, Hunter, you really shouldn't be daring her to do something like that right now. She's literally going to kill herself to prove you wrong” I whispered to Hunter, looking away from the clown-looking Anita. “If I don't dare her to do it
“Here, we are almost there, now take it easy, come on, one more step, yeah, we are good” I took Hunter's arm, which he wrapped around my shoulder off, carefully putting him down to lie on the bed. It was a tough job getting him to his room by myself as he weighed quite a ton, but I'm glad that the mission was successful. “Phew” I sighed with relief, wiping the little heat which formed at the top of my face after getting him to lie on his back on the bed. It was a nightmare getting him here, he depended on my weight entirely to be able to walk, being unable to see sh*t and was scared that he was going to fall with every single minute that passed.It would have been easier if I had carried him on my back again, but it was still healing from the previous piggyback ride that I gave him. Also, he refused to get on my back, claiming now that it was kind of embarrassing being carried around like that.But he didn't seem to remember that it wasn't embarrassing when Anita threw him the powde
Sometimes, it did, but he's okay now, we were able to get to him on time and he was saved” I explained to Skye, who clutched her chest, letting out a deep breath of relief and calming herself down after worrying over Gordon for no reason. I think she probably even assumed that he must have died or haven't recovered from the poisoning yet.“Oh my god, thank goodness he's safe now, it was such a terrible news to hear. I mean Luna literally broke down when the news reached her and her father was sick at the same time too, she was quite devastated” “Ohh, I didn't know that” My hands went up to my mouth, dramatically covering it while feeling bad for Susan after hearing from Skye, how she felt when she got the news of Gordon being poisoned.I wonder how she got to cope with that and with a sick father too.“But we are back now and she went to see him immediately as soon as we got here, so she should be fine. She has been dying to meet him, that's why we came back today. We were going to
not question it too much and asked the Cadogans' family driver to send her to the country club."You may head back first," she said to the driver upon arrival."Do I not need to wait for you, Mrs. Cadogan?"She paused for a moment before shaking her head. "It's fine. I'll wait to head home with Alaric."Since she was here for him, she would head home with him.With that, Carter, the driver, soon drove off.The rain had started as a drizzle, but it was now a heavy storm.With the umbrella held over her head, she walked to the entrance of the country club.It was a luxuriously decorated golf club. She was stopped at the door."I'm sorry, miss, but please show me your member card," the employee said.She took a moment to think about her next action before finally messaging Alaric.'I'm here. When are you done with work? I'll be waiting for you downstairs.'Once she was done, she stood near the entrance with the umbrella. As she stared at the rain, she thought about the pregnancy report.
easy for Kimberly to have so much faith and belief that I'll be regaining my sight in the evening, when she's not the one in my shoes right now to feel the heat that I was feeling. I felt it in my soul after Gordon left, when he was done scolding and reprimanding me for the harsh action that I took, trying to force the truth out of Anita. Now, I cannot stop blaming myself for it, even though I only what I did with the assurance that I was going to get something out of her. I literally promised him that I was going to get who poisoned him, and I did, only to carelessly loss the person in the end after I did. What a shame.“Ugh, f**k all this anyway” I cursed, rubbing the top of my face with the feeling of disappointment. I couldn't help but feel disturbed thinking of how I failed Gordon. Still drowning in thoughts, I suddenly heard the door open and was startled, but I was calm the moment I heard.“Hunter?...” A voice called, and it sounded quite familiar to me, so I got up and ou
Gordon kept staring at me with this unexplainable look on his face, but I could tell he was curious and was desperate to hear me explain to him why I made such statement. However, the entrance door was pushed open all of a sudden and Susan came back into the hall.I quickly adjused to sit in more comfortably on the chair, watching Susan walk into the hall with a big bottle of champagne in her hand so she doesn't suspect that something happened between me and Gordon.It's not like anything actually happened between us. I just don't trust that Gordon didn't likely found my question to be weird, especially, the part where I asked of him having butterflies in his belly when he already has a mate and someone who he appeared to be madly in love with.“Sorry for keeping you guys waiting, I'm back” Susan announced with a smile and excitement on her face, carefully dropping the champagne on the table and then looked around to ask about Hunter and Susan. “Wait, Skye and Hunter aren't here yet?
