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.
I was halfway along the book when I fell asleep while reading it. I'm waking up just now, but it is evening already, looking out the window and noticing the dark skies about to settle in. I got up from the bed and headed out of the room with no idea where to go or what to do. Suddenly, the idea to go visit and watch the garden Hunter's brother built for their deceased sister tempted me. I'm going to keep my distance as I did when Hunter took me there earlier to avoid catching the allergy again. After the fireside that he took me to and showed me, the garden is one of my favorite places to see now here too. It took a few minutes of walk to get to the garden, however, when I got there, surprisedly, Hunter's brother was there already and I swiftly went hiding behind a wall so he didn't notice me. Unfortunately, it was too late as he had taken notice of me before I even realized it. “Why hide behind a wall when the beautiful sight of the garden to behold is right in front of you?”
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?
