“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
It felt so awkward to me that out of the whole people that could come knocking on my door one day to see me, it just had to be Gordon. I was so unprepared for this as I didn't see it coming either, it was unexpected since he has always been the last person I could think of him wanting to come around.But as uncomfortable as this visit may seem, he wasn't being some kind of an asshole but made it pretty clear to me he was only concerned over me and that was all. I actually thought that was true until he started to show the real Gordon. “I’ll be taking a seat since apparently, you don't know how to treat a guest” Gordon sucked his teeth, making it seem like he wasn't welcome there. He wasn't welcome, to be honest, however, I didn't know he was going to stay. I thought he was going to leave right away after congratulating me. “I’m..I'm so sorry about that, I didn't realize you were staying” I apologized for the way I treated him, walking away from the door in a scurry and moving to w
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 literally didn’t waste time in turning down the job offer from Gordon to be his persona 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 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 actually 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 likely 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 despised him that much, with the way I slammed the door. “Be his personal healer?” I scoffed, “I think he must have been kidding though” I moved away from the door and to the bed, where I sat and let ou
“Are you ready?”“Yeah, let's go” I nodded like a kid with a smile to Hunter, who held the door open for me as I walked out of the room and he followed suit. It's evening already and we are going to go see Anita now. He came to get me so that we could leave together for the cell. I didn't really sleep in the afternoon, finding it hard to do so as I was severely bothered over what Michelle said. I could only take a short nap in the end. It still sounded insane to me that she wanted me to participate in such a thing. I don't care if she had the antidote, but I don't trust anyone that easily for me to try putting my life into her hands like that. What if something ends up going wrong? Maybe, she should find some kind of pet as her test subject and not me.“Has she said anything yet?” I waited behind for Hunter to close the door. “Nah, Gordon went to see her and she kept beating around the bush and wouldn't say anything. She refused to tell on who paid her for the poisoning” We began
I can totally bet you all that I've never seen or met anyone as crazy as Anita until today. I mean like extremely crazy, someone completely out of their mind, who I don't think is ever going to recover. I'm starting to think that it wasn't really necessary for me to know about the existence of a person like her in the first place. But what can I do? When I was made a part of an investigation that was meant to find a criminal, which turned out to be her.“See, I told you that she wasn't going to do it” Hunter grinned, pointing at Anita and I stood frozen, watching her and blinking several times to confirm if she was being for real right now.“Aw, it's real cute how you cared so much that I was going to end it” Anita pouted with a contemptuous look, going ahead to lick the blood off her claws and I gagged, wanting to puke right away.“Are you for real?” I shook my head in disbelief, refusing to believe my eyes that I cared so much for her not to end her life, only for her to dramatical
“You are going to have to kill me first, that's the only way you'll be getting out of here, Anita, and remember that you asked for this. I'm only granting your wish now” Hunter didn't stop after he tossed Anita against the wall, going to pick her up to probably do the same again.Anita herself refused to give up, getting him more aggravated by threatening to kill him after he tossed her against the wall. She was injured and struggled to get on her feet, however, she still knew just how to get on his nerves and she was doing it on purpose. I kind of think that she likes getting hurt, she's probably some kind of masochist. I would have given up and would be asking for forgiveness by now.“Come on, get up” Hunter dragged her up against the wall, holding her by the collar of her shirt this time. Then slowly, he balled his fist to throw a punch. “Wait!” Anita suddenly shouted, his fist being only a few inches away from meeting her face. I even felt the weight of the punch and the damage
“Help!” I screamed for help, crazily barging into Michelle's room with Hunter on my back, who I was giving a piggyback ride. “Kimberly?! Hey, what is it?” Michelle swiftly ran to my aid, looking terrified. I think I scared her with the way I barged into the room, yelling for help.“Help me,” I asked her to help get Hunter off my back first. He weighed a lot and was breaking my back.“Here, easy” She helped get Hunter off my back, carefully keeping him down to lie on the bed while I grabbed my waist immediately, hearing it crack. God, I'm not old yet but I can feel my bones acting up already, I wonder how it's going to be when old age eventually starts to kick in.“Hey, what happened? Why and what is Alpha's brother doing here?” She pointed, quick to ask what happened with concern written on her face, watching Hunter groan on the bed with his hands on his eyes. “Anita, it was Anita, I…I don't know what happened. She threw something at his face and then he began screaming, yelling th
“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 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
