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 o
“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'
“So, how is the food?” Hunter asked over breakfast, pushing more side dishes over to me on the table while I smiled, accepting them from him. “It’s super good, I'm not going to lie that you guys make top-notch foods here and they taste so wonderful” I gave him a thumbs up, rating the quality of the food as superb. “Well, what can I say? We got one of the best chefs around here” He received the compliment with a sweet smile, suddenly dropping his spoon to relax against the chair and watch me eat. “Are you full already? You are no longer eating?” I asked him, surprised to see him drop the spoon. He barely has touched any of the food on the table in front of him. “Yeah” He nodded. “What?, but you barely touched your food” I pointed at the food, complaining of him not making an effort to eat them. “I’ve actually had breakfast” Hunter announced, taking me by surprise and I paused abruptly to think of when he told me earlier that he hadn’t had breakfast. Or did my ears hear wrong
I silently followed Hunter, having no idea where we were headed yet. But I had a feeling it had everything to do with us going to find evidence regarding the poisoning. He was so focused on where we were going, keeping this straight and serious face while walking like some mafia boss as if his life depended on this. Gordon is so lucky to have someone like him, I mean a brother who looks out for him like this. “So where are we headed now?” I broke the silence between us, asking about our whereabouts since Hunter had refused to fill me in on it. We haven't uttered a word to each other since we left the dining hall, and I let him know that I wasn't going to snitch on him concerning what he did for Austin behind Skye’s back. I don't know what it is, but I think that he’s regretting letting me know about his little secret. I don't think he trusts me enough to keep his secret a secret. He doesn't have to, I only have to prove him wrong that I'm right and I can certainly keep a secret.
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?
