I thought I was the only one who heard David curse under his breath all of a sudden, but apparently, Hunter heard him too and we both became quite suspicious of him. He cursed under his breath right after Hunter let him know that the poison was traced to the water that Gordon took before he passed out. Could he be the culprit himself that we are looking for? “Is there anything that you know about that?” Hunter inquired and I didn't take my eyes off David, closely studying his body movements. If he keeps acting suspiciously with the way he was scratching his hand, then I'm going to have to assume that he's the one. I can't be the only one thinking that because Hunter just made eye contact with me and we both signaled each other due to the way he was suddenly scratching his hand. “I was expecting you to say something, David?” Hunter called his name and he got so startled, even going ahead to scratch his neck this time and we both just had to assume that we'd gotten our criminal.
Hunter was at the door waiting for when I was ready to let David go, who was lying dead in my arms with his eyes open. His blue eyes were as bright as the blue skies, but sadly, it was showing no sign of life in them. “Come on, we got to leave, Kimberly, we'll come back for him later,” He said to me all of a sudden, reaching out to grab my arm, probably tired while waiting for me to let go of David and I wasn't even ready to let him go yet. “No, I can't, we can't just leave him here like this, he didn't deserve to die” I refused to leave as Hunter wanted, crying over the dead body in my arms. I wiped the tears off my face with my bloody hands, not minding the fact that it could stain my face. “I know, but we've got to go, Kimberly. We still have to find Anita before something like this happens too. She's probably on the run. I'll have someone come take care of this later, I promise” Despite telling Hunter that I couldn't leave, he refused to let me be, attempting to reach for my
I had no idea what hit me, it was more of a who but the person moved so fast, coming out of nowhere with an attack that I failed to see coming until I was pushed against the wall, where I landed and dropped down to the floor like a corpse.“Ow…” I screeched, holding my back, that hurt like hell. However, I wasn't even the one the person was after but Hunter, and he failed to see it happening, as he was busy still trying to knock down the door when he was grabbed and flung aside against the wall too.“Hunter!” I screamed his name, quickly attempting to get on my feet to go help him when I actually needed the help myself as well. “Stay back, I'm okay!” I heard Hunter yell out to me like a warning and I hesitated to take a step forward immediately after successfully getting back on my feet despite the funny cracking noise that my back made. “Oh boy…” I staggered, watching the person who attacked us suddenly turn their back on Hunter and begin to approach me instead. It seemed like a g
No one was expecting that to happen when Gordon suddenly came out of nowhere, snapping Anita's neck and she dropped down to the floor immediately, passing out like a corpse.However, it felt so good that she was shut up at last. I'm glad he didn't kill her but put her to sleep by force, she's probably locked up somewhere now and will be questioned later when she must have woken up. “Here” Hunter handed me a glass of water.“Thank you” I thanked him with a smile, receiving it from him. “You are welcome” He lifted his glass in a cheer, before gulping it down his throat.“Hmm, that felt so good” He dropped the glass beside him on the table after drinking the water.“Yeah,” I agreed with him, dropping the glass on the floor, after taking a little sip from it and then grabbed the blanket to cover myself on the bed.“Hey, I thought you'd want to take a bath first at least before doing that. You are still covered up in blood” Hunter pointed out, abruptly stopping me halfway before I could
Alpha Gordon's Pov“Let me out of here!” Anita was awake now and wouldn't stop disturbing me with the loud noise that she was making, banging on the bars of the cell’s metal gate nonstop and asking to be let out. “You all better let me out while I'm still asking nicely or I'm definitely poisoning everyone else when I'm out of here!” She cackled evilly, kicking at the cell’s gate and I smirked, deciding to come out of my hiding spot after my ears had heard enough.“For someone who everyone once considered to be a very meek person, you have quite the audacity wanting to go around now and murder everyone, Anita” “Who's there?” She quickly asked, holding the bars of the cell’s gate as she suddenly began to laugh. But the laugh ended immediately when she saw my face, getting closer to her.“Alpha Gordon, wow, I've been expecting to see you” She let go of the bars disappointedly, slowly moving away from the gate too.“Yeah, I'm happy to see you too” I flashed her a smile, which she failed
“If I tell you everything that you want to know, what's in it for me? Are you going to let me live, Alpha?” I looked at Anita and smirked. She has really got some balls asking if she would be spared. Maybe, if she had stopped and thought twice about that before taking the life of someone else, I would have considered pardoning her. “Do you think you are worthy of my forgiveness, Anita?” I shot her the question, which she didn't see coming because she took time to answer and I just knew I had gotten my answer. She's not worthy of my forgiveness and she clearly knows it, but likely would still ask to be pardoned as if she wouldn't go around the next minute she's out of this cell and start planning another assassination. This time, she'll probably end me,, unlike the first time she tried and failed. “Well, you can't just dispose of me like that, Alpha. I mean if I tell you what you want to know, the least you could do is forgive me and then let me go” Anita said so casually th
“You called for me?” “Oh yes, I did” I came out of the balcony and into the room when I heard Hunter's voice. He has finally come to see me, I've been waiting for him since after I left to go see Anita, who didn't end up telling me what I wanted to hear and was back now. I thought I was going to get something out of her, but I practically gave up when she literally told me that she was going to have to kill me again since she failed the first time. I wasn’t just shocked but appalled when she said that straight to my face without her blinking. I was right, that girl had totally gone crazy and she was beyond saving now. “So what's up? How did it go with our friend at the cell?” Hunter inquired, going to the water dispenser to grab a drink. “Oh yes, that girl is nuts,” I said and Hunter suddenly spurted out the water that he was drinking immediately. “Hey, hey, what is it?” I asked out of concern, wondering why he spurted out the water like that. Was it poisoned? “Sorry, but
“Coming!” I yelled, going to get the door after coming back from the bathhouse a couple of minutes ago, and was blow-drying my hair when I suddenly got a knock on the door. It has been a while since Hunter left so I don't think it was him knocking again.Though I felt like he was going to be back so we could keep each other entertained, it was seriously so boring here without Skye. But I was relieved to hear from him before he left that David was going to be given a befitting burial. He mentioned that it was going to be done low-key with only his loved ones attending.Gordon?!!! My eyes went wide with shock immediately at the sight of Gordon standing right outside my room. It felt so unreal that I wanted to shut the door in his face and then open it again and if he was still standing there, then I'm going to have to believe that this was happening for real. That thought was in my head only, however, I made it come true by closing the door and opening it again, and to my utmost surp
“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
