“You bought them this freedom, you go to them and it is taken back from them” I didn't know exactly how to react at first after listening to Hunter just spit out the crap that he said. I only stood dumbfounded at his words, watching him like a deceived fool. “Kim…” Skye softly pulled away from him and tried touching me, but I swiftly moved away with a raised hand, indicating for her to not approach me. “I don't understand, what the…what the hell is really going on here? One minute you guys are the bad guys, the next, you guys are not and I understand and the next minute, you guys are somehow still the bad guys?, but then you are trying to prove that you are not. If you are not, then what point are you trying to prove bringing me out here?” I stood in confusion, my head completely swimming in puzzles. I've never been as confused as I am since I came to know about this people. What really is their motive? And what is it that they want with me? I'm so f**king done with them p
Alpha Gordon's Pov I'm seated in my study room, trying to distract myself with something else. I can't bring myself to stop thinking about the wrath that I rained on the Frostfang Warriors last night and their newly formed accomplice, the Goldcrest Canine Pack that I showed no mercy too. I should feel fulfilled, but I still don't feel a thing. I thought killing them would bring me the peace that I've been seeking. It's supposed to, but I’m still deeply troubled with sleepless nights. Killing them didn't bring Leah back, I knew it was never going to, however, her killers didn't deserve to live either. “Come in” I knew Hunter was going to find me anytime soon and he just came knocking immediately. “Hey,” “Hey” I dropped the book I had grabbed from the shelf to read to tend to Hunter. Once I grab one of those books, I never take my attention off them easily. “What are you up to?” He grabbed a seat. “I think I should be the one asking that, you don't normally stay up thi
Kimberly's Pov I barely could sleep last night, thinking about all the crazy stuff that has recently happened around me and to me as well. One night ago, I was out in the woods and on my own, and now, I'm no longer on my own, and I don't even have autonomy over myself again. My pack gave me up for their freedom. I wouldn't blame them though. Alexander should have thought twice before joining forces with the Frostfang Warriors and putting them all at risk of danger. Now, they don't want anything to do with any of us that used to lead them. They get to pick who they want leading them now. I bet none of them even have an idea that I got rejected by Alexander the same night Hunter's brother let all hell lose and went full Gaga on them. Even if they did, I still can't go back to them since I'm the key to them not living in chains and under the mercy of Hunter's brother. I yawned and stretched my body as I woke up, and screamed when I suddenly felt cramps on my lower back. “Oh
After having my bath with the help of Josephine and Abby, the same people that also aided in giving me that refreshing and heavenly bath last time. They escorted me to go have breakfast as well, and for a minute there, I didn't think of being a slave because it didn't seem like I'm being treated like one. In fact, I feel pretty much respected compared to how a slave would normally be treated. Now, I see why Skye has been trying to convince me that I belong here and not as a slave. But I still don't want to believe that; I'm quite sure I don't really have the free liberty to move around as I want in this place. I think I would have to ask Skye about that later; it depends on if she's going to want to talk to me though. After the little disagreement that we both had, she hasn't come to see me, and I've been expecting her visit. She loves showing up unannounced; she could do the same now. I'm the only one seated at a large and tall dining table where it seems like it could serve eve
I walked out of the dining hall after eating and after the most awkward but also interesting conversation that I've had with Hunter's brother in this place. I think it was more of an interrogation than the conversation that he tried to make it look like. However, it wasn't that bad, nor did it end chaotically as I imagined it. If anything, Hunter's brother kind of humbled himself and acted a little nicer while talking with me, which left me surprised. The moment he walked into the hall, I just had it in mind immediately that we were about to go off on each other. But none of that happened; good thing it didn't either. I think it's time for us to get behind all of that. I hadn't walked too far away from the dining hall when I saw Hunter coming, and a sudden force of strong, invisible wind came blowing off his wavy blonde hair in every direction. He looks quite handsome, I'm not going to lie, but he's taken, and I'm even too heartbroken to want to feel loved again. That sh*t can
“Don’t you have somewhere else to be?” I asked Hunter, diverting from the conversation we were having which led to him opening up about his dead sister, that brought up sad memories and sad moments between us. “Nah, not really, duty haven't called yet. Do you have somewhere else you want to be?” He questioned me after I proposely asked if he had somewhere else to be. I don't think he got the hint that I didn't want us talking about dead people again. He would have moved along with it smoothly if he did. “No, I don't think so, I still haven't decided the place to pick as my favorite. I would have picked the garden, it's really pretty but I don't think it would like that, given that I kind of ruined some certain crops when I was called by your brother and I went to see him. I didn't know it was place of peace for your sister, I definitely wouldn't have acted that way. I'm so sorry” I apologized to Hunter, the guilt of what I did in the garden the other day kept growing worse afte
I went back to the room I slept in last night after Hunter and I parted ways and he went about his business. It was nice spending the little time that I did with him before we parted ways. For a moment, I thought of going to find his brother to apologize for the harm I caused to his garden, not having anything to do at the moment. However, each time the thought crossed my mind, my leg would lose the ability to walk immediately as I couldn't stop thinking of how exactly I was supposed to pull that off. Do I just go to him and be like, “Hey, Alpha Gordon” Emphasis on the ‘Alpha’ word since I've never recognized him as the Alpha of this pack. “I know that we both started on the wrong foot, but I'm here to mend things with you now. I'm a jerk and I shouldn't have done that to your garden the other day. It was wrong of me to do that, I didn't know the story behind it…” No! No! No! Cut! cut! Cut! No, I'm not supposed to let him know that I know the story behind him building the g
I grabbed the book on the study desk in the room to keep myself busy after staring and admiring the room for way too long, and I eventually got bored. I laid on the bed next and grabbed the pillow to fix my head on as I opened the book to glance through it and see if something about it captivated me. Without warning, a knock came on the door and I abruptly got up from the bed with a groan. Who is it this time? I haven't settled in here for a minute and they've come disturbing like they used to do in the other room. For every single minute, I was disturbed by knocks on the door, and different sets of people coming to check if I'd eaten, bathed, or if there was something I needed. Though I appreciated the homely care and treatment, at one point, it was starting to get annoying. It was as if they were serving some kind of Messiah and it made me start to feel inferior at some point as the treatment only kept getting way too much. It’d probably be worse now I got this nicer place.
“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
