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
I threw myself on the bed, feeling exhausted from everything that I went through that day. As it is now, I urgently needed a massage and a special treat to fill up my stomach. I just recalled that I hadn’t eaten anything since morning, being too busy here and there. I also just remembered that I still have to go check up on Austin. The herb’s healing water should have completely dried off from his skin a long time ago. I'm going to do that later because I could faint if I were to stand up right now to go see how he's doing. It has been quite a long and hectic day for me today, going from washing Austin's wounds to finding an antidote to neutralize the poison in Gordon's body, to dealing with a little bit of drama from Michelle as well. Her, that I'm extremely worried about her, but I hope she'll be fine. Whatever it is that she's currently going through, she'll get over it. I'm going to go over later and check up on her to find out how she was doing as well. I removed the headb
The thought of me and Gordon becoming friends? Nah, but I don't think that would be happening. I shook my head, returning to my senses after thinking too much and imagining the impossible. The only reason why he's acting this generously is because I saved his life. Let's give it a few days and see if he's not going to go back to hating me again. I sat on the bed, uncovering the food that Betty brought over one by one, and my eyes were filled with tears watching them. There was steak, sandwiches, and other tasteful side dishes which made my stomach demand to be fed up immediately.I chuckled with a smile plastered on my face as I grabbed the fork to dig into the food as I should. It tasted so delicious in my mouth that I exclaimed with emotion inwardly. Oh, how much I'm going to miss eating breakfast with Susan until she's back. Eating the food made me remember her and I began to miss some of the moments that we spent together. Fortunately, she didn't go over to her father's Pack t
After eating the meal that Gordon sent over yesterday, I left to go check up on Austin, but he wasn't around when I reached his room. Though, I didn't expect him to be there when I reached, because the herb’s water must have dried off his skin a long time ago. So I wanted to head back to my room when I paused and thought of going to check how Michele was doing instead. It seemed like a good idea at first, however, I stopped in my tracks, remembering how she sent me away and wanted to be on her own. So I reconsidered the thought of going over to see her and headed back to my room straight. I'm just waking up now, yawning and stretching myself as usual but was careful not to overdo it like I did the other day and almost broke my back. I rubbed my eyes, got up from the bed, and moved toward the mirror straight. I kind of like to look at myself in the mirror first thing in the morning when I'm awake. I wasn't used to it, but it recently turned into a habit. At least, it's not a
“I’m sorry, I don't understand, what investigation will I be assisting in?” I shook my head, confused and failing to grasp what Gordon meant by that. It sounded kind of ridiculous, when the hell did I turn into a detective?“Of course I totally expected you to act that way” He suddenly pulled away from me, moving back toward the window while I watched with confusion written on my face. How exactly did he expect me to act the moment he told me that in the first place? “What happened here yesterday is something that I cannot be able to describe with words. But it was purely betrayal and treason, not only to me but to this pack as well and whoever did that is absolutely going to pay for it” Gordon swore. “I'm sorry but how exactly am I supposed to play a part in this investigation?” I innocently asked, very keen as mustard to know the role I'll be playing in this so-called investigation regarding the poisoning yesterday. I don't know why I'm being involved, I'm just a healer only.“W
“Come in” I held the door open for Hunter and he walked straight into the room while I shut the door and followed him behind. He likely has come for us to begin with the investigation. Well, let's see how it goes then, I think that this might be fun. “How's Skye? Have you heard anything from her since she left?” I asked of Skye, sitting my ass down on the bed.“Yeah, I do hear from her, she's doing great but unfortunately, they won't be returning tomorrow. Susan’s Dad suddenly fell sick so they'll be spending a few more days over there” Hunter explained, going for the window and staring outside it when he reached.“Oh, I see” I nodded, grabbing a pillow to cuddle it, excited to hear that Skye was supposed to come back tomorrow. I didn't know that until now, I thought it was going to be a month because of the traveling bag that I saw her with when she was leaving. But since she’s not going to be returning tomorrow anyway, I'm not going to keep anticipating her return. I'm just going
“How certain are you that it was after Gordon took the glass of water that he passed out?” I questioned, taking note of every detail of the poison that Hunter was talking about. It's quite important to listen carefully so I can be able to tell what kind of poison it is. “Because it was right after he took the water that he began feeling the effect of poison. He said that he filled the cup with water and took it to the nightstand where he kept it to dress up and after dressing up. He drank the water and then went to keep the cup when he started feeling kind of dizzy. The cup then fell from his hand first, smashing to the floor before he dropped to the floor himself and was unable to move before he passed out too” “It was a lethal poison if it acted that fast and even paralyzed him. I don't think your brother Gordon knows how lucky he is to have survived” I made known to Hunter, closing the book that I grabbed from the study desk to write down everything that we were talking about.I'
“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
