I felt oddly uncomfortable with how close Hunter's brother was with me so I pushed him aside and swiftly ran away. He did this the last time he was with me too, I don't know if I'm the only one he does it to, but he must enjoy having to do it to me all the time. The feeling of making himself feel superior and dominated over me while I cower in fear at the sight of him, oh, he must love to have it. “Woah, hey, watch out!” I ran into Michelle, running away from Gordon, and almost bumped into her. She saw me coming on time and was fast enough to escape colliding with her. I'm so thankful that happened, it would have ended badly for us if she hadn't seen me coming and I slammed into her. “Oh my God, I'm so sorry, I didn't see you coming” I apologized, getting up to my feet. I fell in the process of trying to avoid her and I kind of hit my butt hard on the floor, but I'll be fine. “Hey, are you okay? Are you hurt? What were you running from?” Surprisingly, she was too worried
I actually have no stuff to take care of, I just wanted to get away from Michelle so I had to find an excuse and lie to her. I don't think she got the part that I wanted to learn skills from her and not how to grow herbs or things like that. Everything inside that house almost had to do with herbs, it was more herbal than medicinal. I know how she would love to learn and do the stuff her mom does, but I think it's the same thing as what Skye asked me earlier. I don't think she's doing it because she wants to, but because her mom did and she'd like to follow in her footsteps. That's not a bad thing, but what if later, she realizes she has been living her mom's life and not hers? What Skye was trying to explain to me then, I get it now. It was a valid question, though, I didn't know what to choose at that moment. I got back into the Packhouse and somehow crossed paths with Betty, the young girl who showed me to my new room earlier. “Evening, Miss” She greeted me with a bow
I reluctantly put on the dress Skye brought for me, I'm just getting to know she's the one who made it. No wonder, it looked so unfit and roughly made, however, I didn't want to hurt her feelings by saying no and I took the dress from her to wear it like that. Fortunately, I'm not going to be the only one going out and looking like a pretty embarrassment. She made one for herself as well and just wore it, she's even asking if it fits well. “Ta-da, so how is it? How do I look? We are going to go out there looking like tomato twins” She spun, making the dress spin along with her. “Tomato twins? That sounds so silly, Skye, who the hell even brought this up?” I groaned, rubbing the top of my face. This was the most absurd thing ever with the dress looking as tacky as hell. Who gave her the idea to make this? “Not my idea, but it's the theme for tonight, everyone has to dress up as a food or a fruit. The theme last year was to dress up as anything you want and someone literally
I quickly forced my head down in a bow the moment I recognized the girl to be the Luna of the pack since Gordon was Alpha. How did I not realize that immediately? And I acted a bit rude when she grabbed the cocktail to stop me from drinking. “Please forgive me, I didn't realize it was you, sh*t…” I apologized, cursing under my breath at the same time. I think Gordon is going to kick me out of the pack, if he finds out I disrespected his Luna and I'm just starting to like this place. “Hell no, please don't do that, get up, get up” Susan forced me up and I slowly lifted my head with this sour feeling of embarrassment. Our first time of meeting shouldn't have happened this way. However, it's really funny how quickly the world can turn around, I used to be the one everyone worshipped and respected as Luna. Now, I'm the one no longer being treated as Luna and have to answer to someone I used to share the same status with. Life can really humble anyone at any point. “Don’t eve
I still stayed behind at the counter after Susan left, I just stood with a cup of cocktail in my hand watching people move around. I didn't want to drink after Susan made me lose interest, but I needed something to keep myself busy and my throat from running dry. I dropped the glass cup on the counter and Jerome asked if I wanted another shot, but I shook my head negatively. “Nah,” I think I might get drunk if I take another shot, I don't think my head is strong enough to take another shot. I might be a werewolf but alcohol brings out my human side and I don't want to go around drunk, I want to witness the happenings in the festival tonight. “Hey, what's up?” Skye suddenly came out of nowhere, screaming in delight as she rushed toward me. “Wow, you came back, I thought you were going to be stuck on Hunter's d**k all night” I rolled my eyes when I saw her, I waited way too long for her to be back for me to feel excited that she finally came back for me. “Hey, that's kind of ru
“No!” I screamed, waking up from the little bad dream I was having. I could see myself running away from Skye in this little awkward tomato outfit when I mistakenly bumped into Gordon. We both fell but he caught me, so I fell on his body, however, I puked all of a sudden and it's the only thing I could remember before forcing myself to wake up. The dream suddenly started feeling like a nightmare the moment I felt myself puke on Gordon. Imagine doing something like that to him, that's literally like the worst thing to happen. He's never going to forgive me if I ever did something horrible like that to him, or should I say disgusting? Or even embarrassing? It's a good thing I ended the dream before that particular scene happened. It might be a dream but it still doesn't change the fact I may have puked on him in a dream. “You are awake” I heard a voice say, while grabbing my head and feeling this splitting headache attack. I can't tell why I suddenly have this throbbing heada
“Wait, you met with Susan? When?” Hunter's jaw dropped a little out of surprise after I let him know I met with his brother's mate. He's kind of acting as if she's not the type to be seen easily, I can't tell why he's acting so surprised, finding out I met with her. “Yeah, I met with her last night, she was the one who actually came to me” “Wow, I didn't know that, I didn't even know she was back until this morning. I also didn't know you puked on Gordon until a few minutes ago and I came to find you, but you were still asleep and I didn't want to be the one to wake you” “Well, where has she been this whole time?” I asked out of curiosity, recalling how surprised I was last night when I found out Susan was Gordon’s mate. I seriously didn't know he had a mate. I used to think he was one of those Alphas, who were cursed to remain alone for the rest of their lives for some sins they committed. It's just a few of them who are lucky enough to end up with a mate at a later time i
I don't know what Skye wants to show me, but I got up from the bed and followed her out of the room, asking no more questions after she insisted on me following her. I’m just noticing now I was no longer in that stupid tomato dress, figuring out someone must have cleaned me after I puked on Gordon and passed out. “Hey, where are you taking me? What is so important that you want me to see? I haven't washed my mouth or taken my bath yet. I think I need to do that and then we can come back to this” I complained, observing my breath to be stinking a little. “Come on, we are not going to be long, I just want you to witness this” Skye grabbed me by the arm, dragging me to walk faster at the same pace with her. “Oh God, please take it easy, I'm going to fall” I protested, but she paid a deaf ear and continued to drag me along with her.**** Thankfully, we finally got to where she was taking me and it was outside the Packhouse with a large crowd of people watching this person heavily chai
“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
