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
“Thanks for having me over, it was a pleasure learning how to master some of your exceptional skills in healing. I appreciate the efforts you put in today, I was able to learn a lot from you” I thanked Michelle, standing at the door outside the room as I prepared to leave.“That was completely nothing, no need for the praises. I'm very grateful that you decided to come. I'll be looking forward to seeing you drop by often then?” She offered a handshake and I didn't hesitate to accept it.“Of course, I'll be coming over” I went ahead to spread out my arms for an embrace after the handshake, to make her feel more appreciated for the lessons given today. “That's great” She expressed excitedly, accepting the embrace.“I think that's okay now” Michelle was the one to pull away from the hug after I took a little time to. I guess I was being a little over-appreciative for a minute.“Yeah, right” I removed the strands of hair that got in my mouth after pulling away from the hug. “I'll see yo
I could barely keep up with Skye the way she was dragging me along with her to go see the fight happening outside. She said it was some kind of duel, however, the crash we heard when we were still inside the room, before dragging me out here for us to go find out what was going on, might convince me that it was more than just a duel challenge. Whoever was flung aside like that and crashed on whatever stuff made that huge amount of sound, which terrified both of us must be really strong. This is why I never showed much interest in combat skills, even though it's among the best skills one could have. It's mostly fighting to prove who’s the best, and who's the strongest. It can be crazy as hell sometimes because a lot of people break more than bones competing in duels to prove themselves for real. It's nothing new, but a werewolf tradition so no need to panic like it's my first time today witnessing a duel happen. It just took me by surprise because back at Alexander's Pack, i
“The bump on my head, I asked what we were going to do about it. Don't keep quiet, you are the one who caused it when you threw me that slipper” Gordon pointed at the middle of his head, still falsely accusing me of causing a bump on his head. I don't think the slipper landed that hard enough to cause a bump. It wasn't made with metal, but literally leather. So how could a bump appear on his head now? He's only making that up!“But I didn't throw you the sli!..” I yelled, bringing my voice down and pausing immediately when I realized I let his words affect me. I had planned not to let it to. I guess I couldn't do it since he wouldn't stop being a jerk either.“Now, you are shouting at me as well? I really wonder where you get the guts…” Gordon whispered the last sentence and scoffed, looking away from me in contempt. “I think I went too soft on you here in the first place, you don't have any regard for me as an Alpha, that's why you act like you do, isn't it?” He shook his head, lo
“I'll see you around” These words of Gordon, which he last said to me before he finally walked away, deciding to leave me alone after bothering me for no reason actually, acting like a person who had a bad day and was just looking for someone to transfer their aggression on. I was able to breathe well after he left, however his words kind of refused to sit right with me. I couldn't seem to get it off my mind, the way he said it like he meant it and not for a good reason, no matter how many times I shook my head bothered me on the way back to my room. What does he mean by he’s going to see me around? I normally say it to someone after having a conversation with them or the person says it to me before we go about our various destinations. But I didn't want him saying it to me. It's not even about the words, but the thought of casually seeing Gordon around in the Pack bothered me. I think it became too obvious that I was bothered because, at one point, Skye, who was walking along
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?
