I hummed, sitting on the floor in front of the full-length mirror and blow-drying my wet hair. I felt so refreshed now after having my bath and brushing my teeth. I felt this urge to go check on Austin, but I decided to stay back with the feeling it might be too early to do that. It hasn't been up to thirty minutes since I left him to freshen up.So I’ll go over later to check on him. As of now, I think it's best I use this short period that I have to have a little rest. However, the time I spent with him and the conversation we had was quite intriguing. It was sad as well, but he's a really strong kid for pulling through all of that. I kept the blow-dryer aside after my hair was completely dried, picking up the headband on my lap to help hold my hair in place. It looked really good on me and I'm starting to think I look prettier with my hair down than when I have it tied up in a ponytail.“Okay, all set and done” I got up from the floor, feeling extremely satisfied with my look, and
“What? Gordon fell sick?” My eyes popped wide in shock, listening to Hunter explain to me that Gordon suddenly fell ill overnight without warning. It seemed like a joke at first, knowing Gordon to be a tough kind of person. He always acted like it, so how come he fell sick now?He's probably in bed whining like a baby right now. I don't think he's still acting like the tough guy. “Yeah, he suddenly fell sick. I don't know what's wrong with him, but he's not getting any better, he's feeling too weak to even stand. Is there anything that you think you can do?” Hunter ran his hand through his hair and I became worried, taking him seriously.Wait, Gordon fell sick for real?“What?, Who? Me?” I swallowed hard at first when Hunter dropped that question, asking if there was anything I could do regarding Gordon's health condition. I'm going to tell the truth now, I don't know what to do about it. I thought he was going to mention Michelle and not me, I'm not capable of the job. I think I h
“Aah!” I let out a scream of panic, finding out just now that Gordon was poisoned and grabbing my head. How in the world did this happen? I took my hands off my trembling mouth, slowly moving away from the bed until I almost tripped on something. What should I do? Hunter, right, Hunter! He should know that Gordon wasn't sick but poisoned! I ran to the door without thinking twice but quickly returned to my senses when I realized that Hunter wasn't nearby. He left earlier to join the others in finding Michelle. He should do that actually because this is one of the worst cases to ever happen to me and I don't know what to do about it. Poison? How the hell do I take care of this? How quickly did it go from treating ordinary wounds to now treating poison? Where do I even start? “God, what should I do? What should I do?” I kept panicking, going from slapping the top of my face to tugging at my hair. Then I rushed back to the bed to first take the blanket off Gordon. I don't think
I grabbed the vase from the window and the herbal life book on the bed and made my way out of the room immediately. There's no time to waste, I've got to get to Gordon right away. I hope he hasn't given up yet, let him keep fighting the poison, I'm on my way. ****“Gordon” I called, carefully dropping the vase on the floor close to the bed, so I don't break it while I kept the herbal life book on the nightstand beside the bed, to check how he was doing. “You should be getting better, not worse” I took the towel off his head and tossed it aside, as it didn't help in bringing the fever down one bit. It got worse to be precise. “I'll heal you, don't worry” I cupped his cheek in my palms before opening his eyes to check them. It was still purple, but looking worse than when I left him a couple of minutes ago to go find a cure for the poison. So I guess I should hurry up, this poison doesn't seem so friendly. The veins in his arms were still purple as well. I quickly reached for the h
Alpha Gordon's PovIt was a dream but it felt so real like I was so close to death. I even saw Leah, we were both in the garden in the Packhouse, which I made in memory of her passing away and she was talking directly to me as if she was still alive.“Leah?” I called with my hand out, trying to reach her but then something like an invisible force field suddenly appeared out of nowhere, blocking me from reaching her. I was literally minutes away from reaching her before the forcefield appeared. Damn it! “No, Gordon, you can't get to me,” She said to me and I was so happy to hear her voice. She could speak to me and I could speak to her too.“Why?, I just want to touch you” I hit on the force field, trying to break it but it was too strong enough.“No, you cannot get to me, if you do, then you can't go back home, She said, her voice sounding like echoes. It was so unreal that it felt like we were both almost in another world. “Wha…what are you talking about? I'm standing right here w
Kimberly's Pov I woke up yawning and was about stretching myself when I was given this strong kick on the back and I fell hard from on top of the bed. “Ouch!” I yelled out in pain on the floor, holding my waist and grabbing the bed to get up to my feet, but the same person who had kicked me out of the bed slapped my hand too, forcing me to get it off the bed. “Don’t lay your filthy hands on the place that I sleep” I heard a voice sternly warn from on top of the bed as I was still struggling to stand while holding my waist. I think I broke a bone in my ass when I was kicked out of the bed like a mistreated orphan. I wonder who would dare to kick me out of my bed that way. They should say that last prayer because they are dead when I get them. “Gordon, you are awake?...” I paused abruptly, staring at him in shock and halfway from jumping on top of the person in an attack when I realized that it was Gordon. “Yes, I'm awake. What the hell were you doing on my bed?” He questio
I stayed outside, waiting for Hunter and Gordon to be done discussing so I could go back inside and grab the herbal life book, along with the herb, which I used in healing someone grateful enough to show appreciation by kicking me out of bed. I almost died when he shot me down from the bed like I was a football. I mean he didn't even stop for a second to consider the fact that I could have gotten hurt. Anyway, It's Gordon that I'm talking about here, what was I expecting? I wanted to talk to him about it when I got back inside the room, but I'm not going to bother about that again since I forgave him already, only because of what happened. For now, I urgently need to get inside the room to collect the herbal life book, and the herb to keep them back at Michelle's place before she gets back. I barged into her room earlier and took them without her permission and I don't think she's going to like the sound of that. However, it was a life-and-death situation, and I was only trying t
It seemed as if I was in a totally different world where Gordon suddenly changed into this better version of a person, still shocked at him thanking me for saving his life. I didn't expect any kind of appreciation from him, expecting him to rather feel entitled to the treatment with him claiming to be the one in charge of the pack. Hence when I heard those words come out of his mouth, I didn't know how to react to it at first. “Yo…you are welcome” I blinked repeatedly and stuttered as well, still trying to digest the fact that Gordon was suddenly acting like a nice person to me for once. So I took a step away from the bed to leave the room after receiving the book from him. This was starting to get a bit awkward for me. I’m even starting to think I might have liked the other version of Gordon than this one. This one was more scarier. “And I'm sorry for kicking you off the bed the way I did. I can act a little too fast sometimes without thinking” He scratched the back of his nec
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?
