“I’ve scheduled a date tomorrow.” I looked to Kora with a raised brow at the words that came out of her mouth then. A date? Between who and who? “Well, I say ‘date’, but it is more of a simple ‘girls’ night out’. With Nex.”I widened my eyes at this. Kora was going to be with Nex tomorrow? And if it
Nex’s POV“Your… what? Sorry, I’m not sure if I heard that right.”“I said ‘this is John. My boyfriend’,” I repeated to the Lycan King, who went silent at my response.I didn’t know what he bought this hospital for- if he really wanted to just expand his already big business or was making an indirec
I grew wary of the request. Why would she want to hang out with me? I’m not a member of her pack, nor am I anyone at her level whom she should hang around with. Then again, I suppose I do owe her that much after she helped me escape. Plus, if she really was truly helping the Lycan King find me and t
It was night by the time I finished my work. As soon as I clocked out, I rushed out the hospital as quickly as I could, not wanting to keep John waiting any longer than he undoubtedly already had. I told him I wouldn’t be working overtime today, and yet because of the new patient, I did exactly that
“I may be pushing it a bit, but you don’t need to worry about what to order,” he then told me, as he helped me to my seat. “I kind of went ahead with the order while I made the reservations. I made sure to order your favorite, too.”“Okay, you are pushing it there, even if it is to play the part of
It was a new day in my apartment. After that date with John, I felt a bit refreshed. While I can’t say that I am now comfortable being in the Lycan King’s presence during work, at the very least, I’m not as bothered with it as before. Though that could be because I saw him with another woman last ni
I could only nod in understanding to that and took a look at the resume of the supposed new staff member. I once again raised a brow at the sight of it. “Um… Just to be sure, what position is this person applying for?”“A nurse. Just like you. Why?” Cameron answered, confusing me even more, consider
It was lunch time for me, though a bit later than I would have liked. After I got myself some sandwich from the cafeteria, I made my way to the courtyard where Kora said she’d be waiting for me, and found her sitting on the bench, looking over something on a clipboard.“Kora! I’m sorry for the wait!
“Nex… I have something to confess to you,” he said, raising more of my confusion, which then turned to fear. Did something happen while I was away for two years? Beowulf licked his lips for a moment, moisturizing them with his saliva, before continuing to speak. “I… In these past two years, I couldn
Nex’s POVWith the interrogation done, Helio and I made our way back to Beowulf and Helix, holding hands as we walked. The questions weren’t so difficult; just asking about how I was treated, what was Helio’s connection with the mafia and his life there, and what our connection was. All I was worrie
“If you can believe that, then yes.” I grew even more lost by the response, in which she seemed to have noticed. “Beowulf, a lot has happened in this kingdom while we were gone. One of them being Drake and Garon’s… relationship. So to say.”“How do you mean?” I questioned.“Well… They’re close, you
Nex’s POVI wasn’t sure what happened or why… One moment, Zeke appeared with Helix in his hold, threatening to take his life. The next we knew, he killed Raiha, and gave her as much comfort as he could in her passing. “Mom!” I was snapped out of my stupor upon hearing Helix call for me, as I turned
“Dad is already on his way to Mom, isn’t he? If they see him with me, they will think that mafia leader won. Even the leader will think that, if she is that crazy for revenge. And she will definitely try something horrible to Mom and Dad, without having to worry about what they will do. If he brings
Zeke’s POVHow do I feel about what just happened? About what I just did. I doubt it would be pride; what was there to be prideful about in this situation?I was just standing in the woods, with a gun in my hand, and one of my target in my other hand. One look at the situation before me- of Raiha co
“You already had a destined mate. Only you used him as a tool he wasn’t. Took advantage of his love for you,” I pointed out, causing her to flinch at the reminder. “As if that wasn’t enough, you tried to kill a fellow werewolf just to get what you want. You let your own father- a respectable Alpha-
Beowulf’s POVAfter I briefly met with the captain and told him that I knew where Raiha went, I left the matter of the hideout to him and his team, who arrived not long after we did. At first, he tried to either get me to stay or join me to get Raiha, but I managed to convince him otherwise. Tell hi
At first I wasn’t able to process the words that came out of her mouth. Not with the pain I was experiencing. However, slowly, I caught on to the meaning behind it, and looked up at her. “W-Wait… You promised… you wouldn’t hurt them!” I managed to shout.“Only so long as you be live feed for the bra
