I think I might have hurt Skye's feelings a little when I kept asking about the male who lost the duel. I should have listened when she first told me to forget about it and then asked later if I could remember, but I refused to listen and might have forced her to travel down a lane of bad memories that she wanted to keep away.No matter how close you are to someone, I guess you should respect their privacy when they want to keep certain things private.However, curiosity killed the cat, more like it killed me in this case because she got up and walked out of the room after telling me how her mom died, and I couldn't stop her from leaving.The way she expressed the hurt in her voice made me feel bad for being the reason it happened because I'm the one who caused it to happen.I actually felt sorry for her but couldn't stop her from leaving to sympathize with her, I think it was better to let her be alone on her own at that moment and maybe check on her later when the time seemed right.
“Who was that?” I asked out of curiosity, almost getting out of bed to go check who knocked on the door myself, as I couldn't contain the inquisitiveness to know. I don't think it was Skye, I would have definitely heard Hunter's heart skip a beat if it was her. His heart was beating so fast, turns out I'm not the only one here scared of hearing her knock on the door all of a sudden.“It was a nobody, just a friend of mine, Victor. I have some business to take care of with him so he came to remind me of that” Hunter waved his hand dismissively, letting me know the person who knocked wasn't important.I sighed with utmost relief hearing that, Hunter has any idea how I almost lost my mind thinking that Skye was the one knocking. I was so scared to even answer the door until he decided to go check it out himself, observing that I was literally shaking in fear and wasn't going to get out of bed even though it was my place and I should have been the one to check it out.“Thought it was Sk
Listening to Hunter tell the story concerning Skye's parents, made me feel sadder with each word that he said. I don't know how someone could do that to his family and betray his mate, it's so cruel. I was both sad and mad at the story but then I got to understand how Skye got a brother, half brother to be precise.“He had a baby from the affair?” I looked at Hunter with eyes expanded in disbelief. “That must be the Austin guy that lost the duel today” I whispered under my breath, doing a little math to clear my mind on some things. I had been waiting to hear that to be able to confirm how Skye happened to get a sibling.“Yes, he did, with a widowed woman from our Pack…”“Wait, if he had a baby with her, then he must have likely been sleeping with her for a long time. I don't think it was just a one-time something, It couldn't have been. But how could he do that while Skye's mom was sick, what a jerk, he should have been the sick one. How could he betray his mate like that?” I was so
Hunter was gone and I was all alone in the room after he was done telling me about the story regarding how Skye's father ruined his family before he then left after Victor came back and knocked on the for the second time. Whatever it was they wanted to talk about must have been too important and could not be delayed any longer. I'm alone in the room and the dark skies have settled in. I felt like going outside to get a better view of the beautiful moon, which revealed itself tonight. It designed the dark sky with its glamorous light from the window where I stayed, watching it glow in its glory.Though It was a half moon, I could hear howls coming from afar in the woods, some overexcited people seemed to have gone for a run in the woods already.It feels like a great time to be a werewolf tonight, I could shift and go for a little run in the woods as well. However, I think I'm going to have to leave it for another day, maybe on a full moon, it's going to be quite energetic that day an
It's a brand new day and I just woke up, yawning. I got out of bed to stretch my body, feeling stiff a little, I think I might have roughly slept on the bed throughout the night. Then I decided to stretch myself, but I think I overdid it as I suddenly heard my back make this cracking noise. The noise scared me and I actually felt the hurt, which forced me to stop stretching immediately. I felt lightheaded for a minute with the way I forced myself to stop stretching immediately I felt pain in my back, and I swiftly reached for the bed to sit and gain back my balance before I could fall. I shook my head, sitting on the bed for a few minutes before getting up again and this time, I didn't feel dizzy.I should have gently gotten up from the bed when I first woke up. I also shouldn't have stretched myself that fast immediately when I woke up, it's the reason why I got lightheaded in the first place. I'm never trying such again. Then I shifted my attention to the mirror, walking strai
I followed Michelle silently, walking through this unfamiliar passageway in the pack house, which I'm pretty sure I've never set foot in before. I was scared a bit but felt relieved when I started to see people walk through the place. For a second, I thought it was an abandoned place in the house that Michelle was taking me. I would have run back to where we came from because I don't like surprises like this. We walked for a few minutes until we finally arrived, stopping in front of a door belonging to this strange room. I wanted to ask where we were but I kept mute since we were at the place already. I should have asked that long before we got here.Michelle didn't knock but instead grabbed the doorknob, squeezing it open and when the door unlocked, she got inside the place. Then the fear came back again and I gulped hard, holding the door and stopping it before it could close so I could get inside the room as well. I don't know but I'm getting this strange feeling that I shouldn'
“Who are you?” He looked at me confused, his eyes scanning in scrutiny. “Who? Me?” I pointed at myself, quickly dropping the lighter before I could light up the stove to answer the question. “Oh me, yeah, yes, I'm a…I'm a healer, I was put in charge of taking care of you” I told him, getting up to my feet.“Healer?, I've never seen you here before” He squinted his eyes, giving me this look of uncertainty as if I snuck into the place.“Yeah, healer, I'm a healer. Michelle put me in charge of taking care of you, she's kind of busy at the moment so she couldn't be here” I explained myself so he wouldn't mistake me for some kind of a stranger. “How are you doing?, my name is Kimberly, I am Kimberly Peterson and I'm going to be treating your wounds” I did a quick introduction of myself to let him know I wasn't some kind of stranger. He still doesn't seem to believe me yet.I was expecting to get a response after I introduced myself, however, I got nothing as he just kept staring at me i
“How are you feeling?” I grabbed Austin's shirt from the bed to spread it on the chair in the room and then went back to applying the herb's water on his skin, as I was doing before I grabbed the shirt to put it away so that the water wouldn't mistakenly touch it. It might ruin the color easily since it was a white shirt. He can wear it later after the water has dried off his skin. I helped to take the shirt off, leaving him in pants only to apply the herb's water on the bruises visible on his stomach and chest as well. The other male who beat him up during the duel challenge showed no mercy. Austin wasn't just wounded, he had bruises everywhere, on his belly, his legs, and arms, and his face wasn't spared either. He was actually given a black eye, but it seemed to be healing quite faster than the other part of his body with bruises as well. “Ouch!, I think that did it for you, I literally feel like sh*t” He groaned in pain each time the herb’s water touched the bruises on
“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
