It's evening now and Skye hasn't returned yet. I planned on waiting for her when I got to my room after the conversation with Susan but fell asleep shortly out of boredom while waiting for her to come back, and she still didn't make an appearance even after I woke up a couple of minutes ago. I wonder what could be taking her so long. She probably took off to somewhere else with Susan after our conversation. I doubt that she's around. To be frank, I don't have the strength to go find her. No, I'm not entirely being truthful. I'm just scared of crossing paths with Gordon if I was to go out there, so it's better I keep myself isolated in here.From now on, I plan to avoid Gordon like a plague and the only way I can do that is by staying indoors in my room. I go out only when I have to bathe, wash, and maybe do some other things, but I'm never leaving this place if there isn't an urgent matter or something. And during those times, I’m going to be extremely careful to not have an encount
Alpha Gordon's Pov“Wait, Kimberly did what?!” Hunter's jaw dropped with shock and the vase in his hands almost slipped and had broken if I hadn't seen it on time and warned him about it.“Hey, be careful with that vase, you drop it and you are good as dead, I'm warning you” I pointed at him, sending him a warning, more like a threat. Regardless of which I sent, I was going to deal with him if he had dropped that vase.“Oops, sorry, you totally caught me off guard when you told me that” Hunter swiftly grabbed the vase well, holding it properly so it didn't slip, and then kept it on the ground, to ask me if he heard me correctly. “But wait, Kimberly did what again? Did I hear you correctly? How am I just getting to know about this now?” He stood with his arms akimbo, looking at me with such bewilderment on his face that I couldn't help but laugh as I found it extremely funny. “What's funny about this? I'm guessing you just made that up because Kimberly wouldn't act that way, she's no
Kimberly PovI was in bed, keeping myself distracted with the book in my hand, I was being killed with boredom in here anticipating whether I should go out or not. I just wanted to hang around the Packhouse but the fear of crossing paths with Gordon was greater than the fear of boredom killing me in here, so I decided to stay in.I can't tell if Skye was back yet, she still hasn't come to see me. I don’t know if Susan kidnapped her or something.I shut the book in disappointment and rested my head on the pillow. I have lost count of the amount of time I fell asleep, expecting her to be back here when I woke up only to be disappointed she still wasn't back.Then all of a sudden, I heard a miraculous knock on the door and without being told, I knew it was Skye. She has a unique way of knocking which I have become acquainted with. She lets herself inside the room so I didn't bother to go open the door when she knocked.At least she decided to knock this time, unlike the other times she l
“Jesus!” I jerked up from the bed with a great amount of fright, staring at what seemed like the silhouette of someone standing at the door. I was able to stop my heart from skipping a beat when I rubbed my eyes and saw that it was just Hunter at the door.“Oh my frigging God, Hunter! Why the hell are you standing there? Do you know how scared I was? How much more are you going to keep scaring me in this place?!” I yelled, quickly grabbing a pillow from the bed and throwing it at him. “Hey! I'm…I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you like that. I just came in now, I kept knocking and no one answered, so I had to check if anyone was in” He explained after dodging the pillow and picking it back up to hand it over to me. I sighed with relief, sitting on the bed and holding the top of my face, Hunter made me almost pee my pants, and I don't think he's planning on stopping with this new stupid habit of his, scaring me to death. He did it yesterday and just did it again now.I only turned t
I held my hand out, trying to reach for my slipper after it accidentally sipped off my feet when I was kicking the air out of anger. However, I wasn't able to catch it before it could land on Gordon. He was standing in a corner, talking with some male when the slipper landed straight on his head after flying up like an airplane due to the force it used to slip from my feet. “Ouch!” I heard him scream, his hand reaching for the spot on his head where the slipper hit. I think it might have landed too hard on him. He rubbed the spot and then turned to find out where the slipper magically came from. And there I stood, completely frozen like a snowman but my hands were quivering terribly, and I gulped so hard it hurt my throat when Gordon turned around and saw me. “It’s you again?!” He pointed right at me with a little yell and I shuddered tremendously. “I’m sorry” The words swiftly escaped from my lips without me realizing and I just quickly put my head down in a bow. I can'
Betty escorted me to the dining hall where she said that Susan was already awaiting my arrival. She led me to the entrance door and I paused to take in a deep breath before I could go inside the hall. She endeavored to help but I grabbed the door handle first before she could and let myself into the hall. “There you are, good morning” Susan swiftly got up from her seat to give me a warm welcome. “Morning” I returned the greeting, feeling shy a little. “How are you doing?” She went ahead to embrace me.“I'm doing just great, thanks for asking” I nodded affirmatively, wrapping my arms around her as she did the same. “I'm glad to hear that” Susan gave me light kisses on both sides of my cheeks, pulling away from the embrace. “Come, join me” She took my hand into hers, leading me toward the table. We hadn't gotten to the table yet but the scent of the food was all over the place, making my belly protest and demanding to be filled up already. It's a good thing I was invited over for
Susan’s Pov. My attention was abruptly drawn to the door after Gordon came into our room, but I got more concerned with the hand on his head. Did he hurt his head or something? I wondered and without wasting time, quickly paused with what I was doing and went over to check him out.“Hey, what is it? What's wrong? Did you hit your head somewhere?” I asked, being concerned and making him sit on the bed while I stood to check the spot on the top of his head, which he was rubbing. “Nah, it's nothing, I just had a little accident earlier but I'm okay,” Gordon said and I didn't believe him, the fact that he said it was nothing at first and then went ahead to tell me it was an accident made me know he's lying. He always does this once he wants to hide something from me, he would call it unnecessary, therefore, no need to let me know. “There’s a little bump on your head, right over here” I gasped after finding a bump on his head, parting his hair and separating the strands. I swiftly grab
Kimberly's PovI decided to go to Michelle's straight after having breakfast with Susan since I didn't particularly have anything to do. Luckily, she was in her room and I was happy to be invited in when I knocked and she answered the door right away.“Hey” “Hey, what's up?” I waved at her excitedly but was dying inside nervously with the feeling she was not going to accept me, since I didn't come back when I should have. I believe she must have been expecting my visit the last time I visited her.I wouldn't have even been here if I hadn't recalled during breakfast with Susan that I discussed with her regarding learning healing skills. “I’m good, what about you?” Michelle was staring at me awkwardly, and I felt uncomfortable a little. It's giving I didn't expect you to be back here.“Well, can I come in if you are not too busy?” I requested, but surprisedly, she didn't hesitate to let me inside her place.“Of course” “Thank you” I thanked her, finding my way into the room after she
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?
