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
“Well, but there's got to be at least something that you want and I can go get it for you” I insisted on getting Hunter something. Though he's likely going to say no, not wanting me to go errands for him since I'm doing it because he can't do it himself.He's going to see it as if I'm doing if because I'm still blaming myself for what happened to him. However, I have no problem running errands for him. After all, he needs someone to tend to him.I just hope he doesn't ask to be taken to the toilet, that would be an impossible task.“Are you trying to run away from me?” Hunter dropped an awkward, unexpected question, leaving me to stare at him in awe. I was right beside him, why does he assume that I'm running away from him? I was only going to get him water or something to fill his stomach with.“Me, running away from you? How?” I was confused.“You are literally trying to stay away from me, that's why you keep coming up with all these excuses. I never told you that I was hungry or th
“Oh God” I clutched my chest, letting out a deep breath of relief. I was holding in my breath and waiting for her to announce some bad news so I could pass out immediately. “But not for today or tomorrow” “What?! Why?” I didn't see that coming, so was taken by surprise when Michelle suddenly announced that Hunter wasn't going to be able to use his vision today or tomorrow. How cruel is that? It's literally a punishment! “Because it wouldn't wear off until tomorrow, by exactly the same time that this Anita or whatever you called her threw him that powdered substance in his eyes. I'm sorry, Hunter” Michelle apologized to Hunter, and walked away to put the torchlight back from where she had first gotten it. “I'll be right back,” I said to Hunter, letting him go to ask Michelle questions. There's got to be something that she can do to relief him of this situation. I can't eave Hunter lying helplessly like that. “I’m sorry, Michelle, but I don't understand, there's got to be som
“Ah, ah, ah, not so fast, tell us what we want to know first and the key would be yours” Hunter pulled the key away from her reach, but kept teasing her with it.Anita gave up after she couldn't reach the key, making a sad face.“So?” Hunter lifted a brow in question. “You just don't know when to give up, Hunter, do you?” She scoffed in disgust, crossing her arms across her chest and slowly moving backward, away from the gate.I looked at Hunter and he looked at me, then shifted his gaze back on Anita to say.“I will right after you tell me what I want to know” “Fine, if you insist, I might just say it then” Anita rolled her eyes, giving up and in to us. I reached out to Hunter, touching him by the arm and he looked at me with hope the same way I looked at him. She's finally ready to talk after wasting enough time, which we would have likely used to have gotten to somewhere else by now.“Have a seat” Anita pointed at the chair, kept beside the wall a few metres away from the cell.
I think there's a punishment for when one refuses to accept an offer or a job brought to them by an Alpha, but I didn't care about that when I turned down the job from Gordon to be his personal healer. I mean for him to be the one to come down to my room himself to let me know he wanted me as his personal healer. I'm not able to tell now if it was just a job offer or if he was being desperate. To be sincere, I was tempted for a minute to accept the job but I felt better, rejecting it. I think accepting to be his personal healer has more to it than it sounded. He's literally going to turn me into a maid, yup, I think that's what was going to happen if I had said yes to him.I slammed the door shut after he left and was far gone so he wouldn't think I desposed him that much, with the way I slammed the door. “Be his personal healer?” I scoffed,“I think he must have been kidding” I moved away from the door and to the bed, where I sat and let out a deep breath.I clutched my chest and c
"I told you, there is no one more important to Al than Claudia!"As they continued to tease, he glanced down and swiftly messaged Victoria.'I don't need the umbrella anymore. Head home first.'Victoria was puzzled when she received the message. 'Did something happen?' she messaged back.She stared down at her phone for a long time, but there was no reply.Perhaps he was really busy.She decided to head back first."Wait."Someone suddenly called out to her from behind. She turned around to see two fashionable young women walking over to her.The taller woman glanced at her and disdainfully asked, "You're Victoria Selwyn?"Since hostility was painted all over that woman's face, Victoria did not hold back and briskly shot back, "You are?""My name is not important. What is important is the fact that Claudia is back. If you're smart, you'll get away from Alaric."Victoria's pupils shrank in astonishment.It had been so long since she last heard that name. So much time had passed that...
"How do I find the 'Ravened'? I don't even know where to start. I mean it's been 5 years since I left the council. I don't want anything to do with magic or the seed anymore. I don't even know the 'ravened'" Felix runs a hand on his head"."where on earth do I even start to find, I mean I gave up on magic years ago and now you appear on my doorstep telling me I have to find some 'Ravened' I don't even know. I have got a family now I don't need any danger near them" Felix said to freya, looking puzzled."The righteous seer Agnes gave a prophecy that another 'Ravened' lives but we don't know who the 'Ravened' is so I made up a lie in order to keep the Ravened safe wherever they were from the unrighteous, only the head and vice heads of the righteous witches council knows it's not a myth, the 'Ravened' is real it's a person but we don't know who"Freya blinks her eyes."That's why it is now up to you to find out who and keep them safe, the dark days are coming but…" She got cut short of w
"You have a fever?" His voice was gentle as he placed the back of a hand against her forehead.With his unexpected proximity, she jerked to the side. Nonetheless, he found humor in her response. "I'm only testing your temperature," he said.Dominic then turned around and pulled out a thermometer. "Let's get a reading of your temperature."Victoria accepted the thermometer."You know how to use it, right?" Alaric asked as he stood behind her.His question rendered her speechless. However, she chose to ignore him. What makes you believe I have no idea how to use a thermometer?Nevertheless, her movement was sluggish because she was so sick that her head spun.Once the thermometer was in place, Dominic told her to leave it there.Seeing that, Claudia seized the chance to introduce her friend to Alaric."Al, this is Dominic. I mentioned you to him before over the phone. He's an amazing doctor, but he loves his freedom so much that he decided to open a clinic instead when he returned. Domi
Still, she did 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 pre
“Wow, what happened to you? I don't remember you being this romantic and also able to make those moves despite being blind” Skye teased, turning around as I spinned her again. This was our way of making up and I'm actually happy that she's playing along with it, and not wanting to argue further with me regarding my blindness.“Maybe, being blind isn't so bad after all since it turned me into Mr romantic” I winked at her and heard her giggle like a baby. “And I'm only blind, not paralyzed” I added, letting her know that.I don't know why everyone keeps thinking that I'm unable to move or do anything just because I'm blind. I can't believe I have to keep reminding them about that. Now, I can't wait for evening to come, so this can all end. She suddenly stopped dancing along with me, pausing to say. “I'm so sorry I didn't come to see you first when I arrived. I went over to see Kimberly, we had a little issue before I left with Luna and I went to fix that problem with her. I could hav
