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
“Now, he's going to pass out judgment on her,” Skye said, and I looked at her before diverting my attention back to the crowd and Gordon. Susan was right beside him, tightly clinging on his arm but she eventually had to let go for him to address the crowd. “People of the Valley Shadow Pack, we are all standing here in the beloved memory of our brother and sister who were murdered in cold blood last night by an enemy. There's no doubt the Frostfang Warriors have always been our enemy…” “What exactly is the issue with you guys and the Frostfang Warriors? I never knew the badblood between you guys and them was this intense” I turned to Skye to get answers from her, completely switching off from the crowd and on Gordon. I need to know why the Frostfang Warriors seem to be the number one enemy of these people. “Uh…where do I even start?” Skye licked her upper lip and rolled her eyes repeatedly, trying to think of the feud between them and the Frostfang Warriors and the exact par
It was evening already, time ran faster than I expected. I think it's the anticipation of waiting for evening to arrive, so we can go visit Sabrina before she’s then taken out to meet her demise that made time to run so fast. In the blink of an eye, the sun was gradually starting to go down, and the dark skies, preparing to cover the earth already.I was with Skye the whole day and we didn't do much except run a few errands, while keeping track of time of when to go see Sabrina in secret. Gordon prohibited anyone from going to see her, but unfortunately, we both have a lot of questions to ask, so we are going to go see her. The thing is that we shouldn't get caught. Skye doesn't seem to be as scared as I am, feeling certain and trying to assure me that we weren't going to be caught since she knew the guards, who were put to keep an eye on Sabrina in the room where she was chained and locked up.“I’m only doing this because it's you, but don't take too long, you guys got only five min
“That didn't quite go well, I don't think we should have gone to see her. She totally lost it” I said to Skye, following her into the room and shutting the door as I entered.“I knew she was going to act that way, if you had let me throw her a few more punches, then she would have behaved” She forced her ass onto the bed with a grunt, looking unhappy. I think she's a little mad I stopped her before she could have damaged Sabrina in a very serious way.“You threw her punches and even scratched her face but she only laughed. I don't think she would have given a f**k even if you had slashed her stomach open, Skye. She just wanted to get you pissed and she did” I pointed out, grabbing the study chair and sat in front of Skye to calm her down. She looks highly offended by our interaction with Sabrina.“Well, what about you? Didn't she succeed in getting on your nerves as well?” Sye scoffed, expressing contempt but I didn't mind her. I get it that she's mad, that's why she's acting up a li
Last night was a wild one, I couldn't close my eyes and sleep, finding it a little difficult to force myself to sleep as memories of Sabrina burning alive at the stake kept playing in my memories like a movie. Her screams of agony filled the entire gathering of the arena but no one felt a thing for her, instead they were all chanting and cheering for her to be burnt down to bones. The smell of gasoline struck my nose when it was added to the fire to make her burn more each time it seemed like the fire was going off. I swiftly jerked up from the bed when I felt the fire becoming too hot for me to keep thinking about it. I think I was dreaming about it to be precise and I swiftly forced myself to wake up from that dream. It started to get a little intense and hot in there. “Oh God…” I sighed, wiping off the beads of sweat that formed at the top of my face. I was sweating around my neck too, my whole body was soaked. I wasn't the one being burned, but I felt the fire coming pretty c
“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
