I grew alarmed by Kora’s report. What on earth did she find in that guy’s house for her to have that sort of tone?‘What’s wrong?’ I asked.‘That John guy is not who he even seems to be,’ Kora began, to my confusion. ‘Normally when one sees a guy with a limo, they would think that person to be rich
I was speechless at what I heard. While I was also aware that Beowulf had been trying to find out a good way and time to get Nex to reject him, despite already planning to win back her heart in the one year of making Stanfield Hospital the best Mysta City has to offer, it was because of the latter p
Nex’s POVI was taking a short break in the break room after distributing the medicine to the patients. Normally, it would be an easy job, but recently we received a very paranoid patient. One who freaks out at everything we the nurse and doctors do to him. Originally, he was supposed to be sent to
I went with Beowulf to his office as he requested, wanting to avoid causing a scene in front of Roxanne, who for some reason trembled upon seeing him, instead of looking up at him in admiration like before. Once we’ve arrived there, I was baffled at the many nonsense he suddenly sprouted out about J
As we sat in the car, I thought back to the revelation of John’s true self. That is, the possible revelation of it. So I say, but my kids couldn’t be naive enough to go with any stranger who claims to know me. Plus, not to sound like a broken record, but it has been a few days since the two of us sp
Night came as we arrived at Fort Park, a large case of the $50,000,000 in Beowulf’s hand. We both looked around, searching for John or whoever it was who sent that text, only to find no one else here. Not a sound or a scent.“They said they’ll be here at 10:00, right?” I asked Beowulf.“That’s what
“So he says,” Beowulf told me, pocketing his phone. “Last chance to back out. You heard what he said. He’s not alone, and if those guys are part of the mafia he owes, they’ll definitely be too much for you.”I didn’t look up at him when he made that remark, not wanting to acknowledge that what he sa
Words cannot express how shocked I was to hear John speak like this. To see him act with such arrogance. Was this really the same John I knew in the past five years of living in this world?“You know, if it were anyone else, I would have had you penalized for going against our deal in coming here al
“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
