It was early at night when I walked home from work. Originally, I was supposed to still be working at this time with some patients, seeing if there were any improvements with their symptoms and such, but since my mind wasn’t into it- with my not writing proper reports in any changes to the patients’
“Hailey! Helix! Are you both there?!” I called.A pair of small heads poked out of the living room, belonging to my two little kids, who looked at me in pure confusion.“Mom? You’re home early,” Helix spoke, while Hailey used over to me and gave me a huge hug.“Yay~! Mommy’s home~!” she cried out.T
The next day, after I dropped my kids off to school, I made my way to Stanfield Hospital, wondering still about yesterday’s topic. My kids? Awakening to their wolves early? No matter how I thought about it, that shouldn’t be possible. While I still doubt the possibility of them sensing their wolves
Once lunch came, I decided to confront her about her intentions, as I led her to the stairwell. “Okay, I will bite. What exactly are you doing here?”“What are you talking about? I’m here to learn, aren’t I?” she simply retorted.Of course, after her attitude today, I was not inclined to believe her
After I was given permission for an early leave, I went to the locker room and hastily changed back into my casual clothes. Once I clocked out, I went to the closest fast food joint and had lunch there. As I ate, I couldn’t help recalling to what happened back at the stairwell. To my discovery of ho
I went silent at the facts she pointed out. I was quite aware that those guys will not find out much about Nex’s history in this world. As Kora said, they were on this search for the past five years. That doesn’t give me much hope in their investigation skills. That said…‘It is not Nex I want to kn
Nex’s POVOne would think that growing up with an unbearable stepsister and treated as an outcast, I would be used to whatever unreasonable demands are made towards me. That I could handle people who are being so obstructive. In a way, that was true, as I had the patience to get some of our more row
“Beowulf…” I unintentionally breathed out.The moment his name left my lips, for one reason or another, Beowulf averted his eyes away from mine, a conflicted expression on his face.“I… Um… I’ll just take the-”“Just get one. There’s still room in here,” I interrupted him.I may have a cart in here,
“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
