I signed, am I the only one being too anxious here.°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°I signed again unable to calm myself down."Why are you signing like an old man, oh you are an old man"Chardon said with his usual aloof smirk plastered on his face, I groaned and continued pacing round the room, I have to go out and calm myself, if I stay here any longer, I won't be able to calm myself down."I will be back"I said to Catori."No, you can't go anywhere Alex, you have to calm down, am also anxious too but you d

Catori rushed in to find the Royal physician to discuss on the antidote but Chardon stood there staring at both of us."You have two Mates, No; that's impossible, or maybe you have just one but you want two"Chardon blunted out which made me growl at him."Who is he"Brianna asked, I

He picked up the herb and a flower and gave it to his apprentice who was already standing outside to grind it and rushed back to the room to check on Chardon.°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°Catori stood up immediately when the Royal physician popped into the room."Have you gotten the herb, did you find it.."She asked with obvious Panick in her voice which serve to further increase the anger in Alex and he is finding it diffucult to put up with her behavior, his wolf became restless at the sight of her mate getting worried for another man; truth be told, he felt like punching Chardon on his face to relieve him a bit but he can
