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
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?
